on January 15, 2013 - 12:55 PM
, updated January 16, 2013 at 2:17 AM
The line was out the door at the Buffalo Gun Center in Cheektowaga on Tuesday morning.
At Niagara Gun Range in North Tonawanda, the gun shop had long ago run out of AR-15s and AK-47s.
And at S&S Taxidermy in Springville, background checks for gun buyers that normally take just a few minutes were dragging on for an hour.
"The whole system is getting bogged down," sighed Bob Wolf, a worker at S&S.
Gun enthusiasts across the region were snapping up AR-15s and other high-powered rifles, ammunition and gun accessories as fast as they could Tuesday as word spread that state legislators were on the brink of enacting sweeping new gun-control laws.
"It's ridiculous," said Kaied Morshed, who described himself as an "American blood citizen" and self-employed masonry contractor from Cheektowaga.
He was one of dozens of gun enthusiasts who stood outside the Buffalo Gun Center on Harlem Road in freezing temperatures for a half hour or more to buy firearms that would be banned under the new legislation.
Morshed came to the store before work after hearing the news Tuesday morning that the State Senate approved the gun-control bill and that the Assembly was expected to follow sometime later in the day. The legislation was swiftly enacted later in the day, and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed it into law.
Morshed had been interested in buying an AR-15, which gun-rights advocates say has been wrongly labeled as an assault rifle and is among the kinds of weapons banned by the state.
"They wanted $3,000," he said, which was too steep for him.
AR-15s used to sell for under $2,000, he said, but that was before the mass shootings last month and widespread debate over the availability of such weapons.
Morshed opted for a more affordable shotgun with a pistol grip, which he believes would be banned under the new law. He did not have it with him as he left the store, but he was carrying a bag of 50 shotgun shells.
Morshed explained that he intended to pick up the shotgun later in the day because he didn't have time to wait for the background check to clear – a process that was taking extra long Tuesday, presumably because of the sudden high demand.
Morshed doesn't believe the new state law or proposals on the national level will do anything to stop criminals or even mass shootings.
To put an end to all gun violence, he said, "you'd have to remove every weapon from the entire United States of America."
Another Cheektowaga man who declined to give his name also bought a pistol-grip shotgun Tuesday morning. He carried it in a long cardboard box as he left the shop.
The 24-year-old tech support worker said he also has two other guns, a .223-caliber and a .22-caliber. "I'm well-rounded," he said, smiling.
The man said he enjoys target shooting and believes in exercising his right to bear arms.
Like many outside the Cheektowaga gun shop, the man said he believed the new law will punish law-abiding gun owners.
"I don't think it's going to stop criminals" from obtaining weapons, he said.
If people really want banned guns, he said, they'll drive to another state, like Pennsylvania, with laxer laws or obtain them illegally.
Another man, who would identify himself only as "Randy," said politicians' talk about gun control is driving up the cost of guns.
"This used to be $20," he said, referring to a paper bag filled with ammunition. "Now it's $70."
"Obama started an arms race," he said.
Jim Scofield, of Forestville, drove into the parking lot on his way back from Veterans Affairs Medical Center and was surprised to see the line.
He had planned on picking up a few items but decided against it because he didn't want to wait in the cold.
"I'll wait until the smoke clears," he said with a smile.
Scofield disagreed with the new gun law, saying he doesn't believe it'll stop a killer.
"It would be better to ban insanity," he said. "I would rather they put a ban on assault hammers."
Wilson Curry, of Williston Auctions and Aurora Firearms, said he is distressed by the news out of Albany.
"I am concerned. I just don't know what to think," said Curry, who specializes in antique and collectible guns and doesn't sell weapons like the AR-15.
He pointed out, like many other gun enthusiasts have, that guns such as the AR-15 are not actual "assault weapons" but are semiautomatic rifles. They are not automatic machine guns that can spray bullets with a single trigger pull, he emphasized.
"They fire one shot at a time," he said, adding that he owns an AR-15.
Curry, who gave an interview by phone from the Shot Show, a massive gun convention in Las Vegas, said the booths where guns such as the AR-15 are on display were especially popular.
Prices on such weapons have doubled and even tripled nationwide, he said.
He's also concerned that the proposed bans have set off a gun-buying panic – and could trigger more terrible acts. "It's going to get ugly," Curry said. "I fear more tragedy because of this."
At the Niagara Gun Range on Tuesday, the phone was ringing off the hook, and several people stopped by hoping to snap up an AR-15 or AK-47.
But a sales representative who answered the phone said the store had run out about a week ago. Sales of assault rifles picked up after President Obama's speech calling for tightening of gun legislation that came days after the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"They just keep coming in and asking, and we don't have any," said the worker, who added that the North Tonawanda shop has stopped taking orders, too. "We can't find any anywhere," she said.
At S&S Taxidermy in Springville, Wolf said sales were more than brisk."Really," he said, "we're getting blown away." He estimated that there were about 10 times the normal number of customers in his store Tuesday.
Wolf noted that background checks, which usually take less than five minutes, were taking far longer, a problem experienced by some but not all gun stores in the area Tuesday.
"My partner has been on the phone doing background investigations for an hour," Wolf said.

text: How to Comprehend Incomprehensibly Large NumbersGeorge Dvorsky2/26/14 2:00pmFiled to: Daily Explainersciencemathsmathematicslarge numbersevolutionary biologyspencer greenberg5510EditPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink We humans are a smart bunch, but we really suck when it comes to understanding and handling excessively large numbers. Here's why we're so bad at it — and what you can do to make sense of concepts and figures that are unreasonably huge. Advertisement To learn more about grasping and processing large numbers, I spoke to mathematician Spencer Greenberg, co-founder of the A.I. powered hedge fund Rebellion Research, and founder of ClearerThinking.org, an online project offering free, interactive training programs that help people enhance their decision making skills. A Cognitive LimitationIt shouldn't be too surprising that humans have great difficulty with large numbers. While living and evolving in a so-called state-of-nature, our paleolithic ancestors had no need (i.e. no environmental pressures) to develop such a capacity. Back then, and prior to the advent of a formal numbering system, early humans only really needed to get a basic sense of small batches of quantities, like the number of people in the clan, or how many animals might occupy a certain area. Advertisement These days, however, we're surrounded by large numbers. Like, stupid large numbers. We're told that there are 7-billion humans on Earth, that there are 300-billion stars in the Milky Way, and that there may be upwards of 70-sextillion stars in the Universe (that's 1021, or a 1 with 21 zeros behind it). Good luck trying to wrap your head around what such a quantity actually means or signifies.Related: Why We Should Switch to a Base-12 Counting System | Does Infinity Really Exist? In addition to this cognitive limitation, and as Greenberg pointed out to me, some languages don't even distinguish large numbers from each other at all. Take the Pirahã language, for example, a dialect of an indigenous hunter-gatherer tribe from the Amazon. This language is devoid of words for precise numbers, but instead has concepts for 'a small amount' and 'a larger amount.' Advertisement Sponsored "So it seems humans can survive well — in at least some, maybe most or all — natural environments without differentiating large from very large," Greenberg told io9. "This bolsters the argument that it really is not essential from an evolutionary perspective."But that doesn't mask the fact that humans are absolutely awful with large numbers. Once numbers get beyond a certain point, they tend to lose all meaning. "We can easily visualize five things," says Greenberg. "We can even roughly visualize approximately 100 things — by, say, picturing a large crowd gathered. But when we're talking about millions of things our ability to visualize completely fails." He says that trying to imagine a million people is about as useless as trying to imagine a hundred million. He adds that, by using numbers for our whole lives, we've built up our intuitions to "feel" that 10 is a lot bigger than one, and that 100 is a lot bigger than 10. But we have no such "feeling" about a quadrillion versus a trillion. In fact, we might not even know which is bigger. Even when we see them written out: Advertisement Advertisement 1,000,000,000,000,000 versus 1,000,000,000,000 Indeed, our eyes could easily miss that one is a thousand times bigger if we're not paying close attention. But thankfully, there are some tricks we can use to help us make better sense of numbers like these.Break It DownGreenberg says it's a good idea to convert large numbers to a different unit to make the large numbers smaller. Advertisement For instance, the U.S. national total public debt is about $17 trillion. That number is nearly impossible to understand intuitively if left in units of dollars. But there are two much easier ways to think about it."With about 317 million people in the U.S., that comes out to $54 thousand per person," he says. "That's a number that's much easier to make sense of — there is $54 thousand dollars debt owed for each person." The other way to think more intuitively about this is that the U.S. has about $16.8 trillion in GDP, so the debt is about equal to the total market value of all final goods produced in the US in a single year. Advertisement Advertisement But Greenberg says we should avoid units that don't have any relevance, like "A billion pennies on top of each other forms a tower that's about 870 miles high."Change the Unit of MeasurementWe're often confronted with excessively large figures that would be better expressed with a different unit, like switching from feet to miles (or meters to kilometers), from ounces to pounds, from seconds to years, and so on. "For instance, if someone says that the Mariana Trench reaches to a maximum depth of 36,000 feet, that's tough to make sense of," says Greenberg. "It's much easier for our brains to understand that as 6.8 miles (11 km), which is a distance we already have a pretty good intuition for." Advertisement That said, be sure to avoid units for which you don't have an intuitive grasp. Most people, for example, have little intuitive sense of how much a tonne of weight is.Convert Large Numbers to Batches You're Familiar WithWhat does it mean to think about 400,000 people? One thing I like to do is break it down into something I'm familiar with and that I can kind of visualize: the crowd attending a sporting event. For example, hockey arenas seat about 20,000 people. So, you could envision 400,000 people as 20 hockey arenas worth of people. Tumar/Shutterstock Advertisement Advertisement Or as Greenberg told me, if you have $100,000 worth of savings, that means someone with a hundred million dollars has 1,000 times more money than you. No doubt, 1,000 is way easier to wrap your mind around than a hundred million.This technique can also be used to assess risk."If you go hang gliding, you have a roughly 1 in 116,000 chance of being killed during that flight," he says. "Is that a lot of risk? It's very tough to tell. But here's another way to think about it. If you're a 30 year old male in the U.S., you have about a 1 in 260,000 chance of dying tomorrow. So that means that tomorrow, by going hang gliding once, you're taking on 3.2 times more risk than you usually do in a given day! So that gives a new way of thinking about hang gliding risk if you're a 30 year old male in the United States: You're tripling your usual risk of death for each such flight you take." Advertisement Again, like the previous trick, just be sure you really understand those familiar units as well as you think. Incorporate TimeAnother great idea suggested by Greenberg is to incorporate time to turn numbers into occurrences over time. So, let's take a figure like $400,000,000 dollars — which happens to be Powerball's next jackpot amount. How much money is that, really? (image: Mark LaMoyne/Shutterstock) Advertisement Advertisement "That's tough to make sense of," says Greenberg. "But if you live for 60 more years, that's 525,600 hours remaining in your life, so if you win that jackpot — not taking into account time/value discounting and inflation considerations — that's like getting paid $761 per hour for each hour in the rest of your life (including when you're asleep)."Here's another example: San Francisco's metro area has about 4.3 million people. How many is that? Well, if you spoke to each person for one minute, and you did that eight hours a day, it would take you 24.5 years to speak to them all. Whoa. "To me, that gives me the sense of how insanely unknowable a community of that size is," adds Greenberg. Advertisement This reminds me of a tactic used by the Soviets at the Battle of Stalingrad during World War II. To demoralize the enemy, loudspeakers blared this rather discouraging message: "Every seven seconds a German soldier dies in Russia." In reality, it was closer to nine each minute. That's about 540 deaths an hour, 12,960 a day, 90,720 a week, or 388,800 a month. There's also the Battle of Borodino to consider — an incredibly bloody 19th Century engagement in which some 65,000 soldiers were killed over an eight hour period. To better conceptualize this, historian Gwynne Dyer used a trick we described earlier, the batching method. He compared the carnage at Borodino to "a fully-loaded 747 crashing, with no survivors, every 5 minutes for eight hours." Avoid ExponentsI asked Greenberg if exponents, or scientific notation, can be helpful. He said that scientific notation is fantastic for helping us calculate with large numbers — 10 billion divided by 1 million becomes 1010 / 106 = 10(10-6) = 104 — but it is not very helpful for grasping them intuitively. In fact, for intuitions sake, he says it can be confusing. Advertisement Advertisement "Look at the two numbers, 1032 and 1039," he says. "It's easy to forget that the latter is TEN-MILLION times bigger than the former, since written in this notation they seem to be off by a "mere" 7 (i.e. 39-32 = 7)." Hitting a WallNeedless to say, there are limits to these tricks. We can only manipulate these figures so much before they once again regress into meaninglessness. For example, I asked Greenberg how we could better conceptualize something as large as the total number of stars in the Milky Way, which has about 300 billion stars. Serge Brunier Advertisement "That's really a tough one," he replied. "The best I can do off the cuff is think about it in terms of the human population. If we somehow could colonize the Milky Way, that would be 300 billion / 7.1 billion = about 42 stars for each person currently alive on the earth today. Not super satisfying, but maybe that helps a bit. Of course, the number of people on the earth today is so large that it's hard to make sense of even that number." Ultimately, Greenberg says large numbers will remain beyond our grasp (at least until the era of human cognitive enhancement), especially the really huge ones, and ones that we can't relate to meaningful things we already understand. "This is why when dealing with large numbers we often have to just 'do the math'," he says, "rather than trying to truly grasp these numbers. That is, we can work with extremely large numbers in calculations, and still get useful answers out the other end, we just can't necessarily grasp the numbers used throughout that process."

How the Second Amendment really works
December 26, 2012 - Harry Eagar
A few weeks ago, when headlines announced a flap between Dick Armey and his pressure group FreedomWorks, I paid no attention. Such dustups among political fringists are common and usually insignificant.
Insignificant this one was, but it turns out that the sordid details were especially sordid and -- in light of the renewed push by gun nuts to offer themselves as saviors of the rest of the country -- well worth examining. Thanks to the Washington Post for washing Armey's dirty laundry in public.
Recall to begin that a main, in fact the principal argument of the nuts in favor of an armed populace is that only those privately armed citizens temper and, at need, resist the tyranny of government. They still say this although in over two centuries, these heroes never have resisted tyranny with force; first, because they have had no occasion to; and second, because in one instance when government troops were used to control a restive populace (the former Confederate states, 1865-76), the armed populace thought better of testing the bluecoats.
When the federal troops were withdrawn, the armed populace then did unleash a reign of terror against the people (one of whom was my grandfather), but when there was danger of actually getting shot by a soldier, they were timid and complaint.
So, if these numerous weapons are not being used to intimidate the anchors of state power, against whom are they being used? Most recently against unarmed young women working for the Tea Party pressure group FreedomWorks. Says the Post:
"The day after Labor Day, just as campaign season was entering its final frenzy, FreedomWorks, the Washington-based tea party organization, went into free fall.
"Richard K. Armey, the group's chairman and a former House majority leader, walked into the group's Capitol Hill offices with his wife, Susan, and an aide holstering a handgun at his waist. The aim was to seize control of the group and expel Armey's enemies: The gun-wielding assistant escorted FreedomWorks' top two employees off the premises, while Armey suspended several others who broke down in sobs at the news."
It could have been tragic rather than comic if Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the leading gun nut group, the National Rifle Association, were right in his belief that all American office buildings are protected by armed guards. Who can say what the outcome would have been had FreedomWorks or its landlord had an armed savior present -- perhaps someone like George Zimmerman, a zealot for protecting the defenseless public?
Fortunately for all concerned, LaPierre is a psychotically delusional paranoid crybaby, and no shots were fired. FreedomWorks was saved from the depredations of the armed nut, though. The Post reports:
"The coup lasted all of six days. By Sept. 10, Armey was gone — with a promise of $8 million — and the five ousted employees were back."
I hope an imaginative District of Columbia prosecutor treats this as a kind of bizarre delayed-action armed robbery; or perhaps as extortion, and that Armey and his wife spend the rest of their lives behind bars; and that the young women they terrorized sue them for every ill-gotten penny they have. But I doubt that will happen.
I regret this terrific story was published on Christmas Day, because relatively few people will have taken the time to read it, but Christmas is over and I commend it to your attention now.
And henceforth, every time some gun nut asserts that without having guns freely available to citizens, people will be robbed and intimidated, save the link and remind him that when it came down to it, the people who were robbed and terrorized were employees of a rightwing nut pressure group, and that the terrorizers were not scary black men, or even liberals with long hair and chardonnay breath, but rightwing crazies.

The location is AMAZING!!! The apartment is very beautiful inside. Natalie gave us all the tips about what to see in Granada.
It was in a great area of Albecin and had a balcony with a terrific view of Alhambra, was easily accessible to the centre of Granada and had really nice interior design.
Spectacular Location and style of the building
This client rated their apartment, but didn't leave any additional comments.
The terrace - the beautyfull view to Alhambra!
Fantastic views. Very cool bedroom.
La ubicacion y la decoracion
The spectacular views to the Alhambra from each of the three floors.
Great location in the old area.

Beautiful location, well-equipped apartment. Marta was extremely helpful and polite.
Fantastic apartment in a fabulous location. We also appreciated the warm welcome from the apartment owners.
Fantastic view, really helpful owner. Great location (shame about the noise).
The view....of course!
It was an excellent 3 floors apartment with a sunny roofterrace with Alhambra-view ...lovely! In the Albaicin-barrio which is typical for Granada. It was a big apartment with everything you might need. Very safe. Very nice that Martha came to pick us up at the Parking-garage , otherwise it would have been difficult to find the apartment the first time .
The apartment was beautiful, and the view was breathtaking. Marta was extremely helpful.
We loved everything about this apartment. The location was superb with great views from the balcony and the apartment was lovely and cool even on the hottest days. Huge comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. Marta was brilliant, picking us up from the carpark and taking us to the apartment which I'm sure we wouldn't have managed on our own. I would certainly book through Friendly Rentals again.
Las vistas que son impresionantes de la Alhambra desde cualquiera de los pisos. La decoración moderna pero sencilla. Y el trato recibido por la propietaria, Marta, la cual fue estupendo en todo momento aparte de la disposición para cualquier cosa o detalle. Fue genial.
Vistas preciosas y apartamento con mucho encanto.La verdad es que no podría poner ninguna pega.En general todo bastante bien.
The view! From every window I could see the beautiful Alhambra. And the location was perfect, in the historic Albaicin district close the the heart of this beautiful city. I also really appreciated the owner of the apartment, Marta Torres, helping me out on a few occasions, she was like an angel.
Its a great apartment with everything you could need, the views from the roof terrace are amazing.

The Supreme Court ordered additional review by an appeals court in an affirmative action case arising out of University of Texas-Austin, as reported by MSNBC.
The case was originally brought by Abigail Fisher, a white woman who sued UT-Austin. Fisher averred that the school unconstitutionally discriminated against her when it rejected her 2008 application for admission by applying its race-conscious (affirmative action) policy to her.
UT-Austin must now meet prior Supreme Court ordered standards. Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority, reaffirmed those prior decisions which recognized affirmative action as constitutional if its use furthered states' compelling interest in fostering a diverse student body.
But the 7-to-1 majority also argued that the Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit did not give enough scrutiny to UT-Austin's race-conscious admissions program.
"The University must prove that the means chosen by the University to attain diversity are narrowly tailored to that goal. On this point, the University receives no deference," Kennedy wrote. "Strict scrutiny must not be strict in theory but feeble in fact."
This statement is basically a rewording of Kennedy's dissent in the landmark 2003 Supreme Court case, Grutter v. Bollinger. There, the court upheld University of Michigan Law School's affirmative action policy and, thus reaffirmed the constitutionality of race-conscious university admissions.
In Grutter, Kennedy accused the majority of gutting the strict scrutiny standard, a standard that the court first articulated in 1978 -- a standard that Kennedy did not believe the University of Michigan met at that time.
Today's majority allowed that affirmative action policies must meet the standard of strict scrutiny: its use must be absolutely necessary to achieve diversity on campus. The question of whether or not UT-Austin had met that standard was not addressed by this decision.
Fisher is the first higher education affirmative action matter faced by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor. Justice Elena Kagan, herself a former dean of Harvard Law School, recused herself, due to her active role in this case as President Barack Obama's first solicitor general.
By signing on to Kennedy's opinion, Roberts and Alito have signaled that they do not agree with the slash and burn approach of Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Those two have vigorously opposed race-based affirmative action for any reason and in any manner.
"[A] State's use of race in higher education admissions decisions is categorically prohibited by the Equal Protection Clause," Thomas wrote. "The University's professed good intentions cannot excuse its outright racial discrimination any more than such intentions justified the now-denounced arguments of slaveholders and segregationists."
Today's decision is good news for proponents of race-based affirmative action. Fisher affirms the Court's earlier pronouncement in Grutter that affirmative action can – indeed, must – be used to achieve "diversity" on public university campuses.
When I matriculated at Indiana University in 1966, there were only 500 black students out of a student body of 29,000. Most of us were on some sort of scholarship, and all of us were considered (ranked) as among the best former high school students in the state. For those black students who did not rank in the top ten percent of their graduating class, Indiana was closed to them. Yet, white students from all ranks were admitted by virtue of their "resident" status as native Hoosiers.
In other words, because I was an "A" student, I got to go to the state's best public university; whereas my sister, a mere "B" student could not. Meanwhile, white students from our same high school who were "C" students automatically qualified and were admitted.
That was race-based "affirmative action" in the other direction.
After many protests, sit-ins, take-overs of buildings and classrooms, by black students at Indiana beginning in '67, Indiana instituted an aggressive and early form of "affirmative action" for black students. They did not call it that then, but the effect was the same.
Today, IU is one of the most diverse, beautiful – and interesting – campuses in this nation-state. It still ranks among one of the best public universities in the world.
Go IU!

Letter Regarding the Nomination of John Brennan to Head the CIA
The National Lawyers Guild writes to express its opposition to the nomination of John Brennan to head the Central Intelligence Agency. As President Obama's current counter-terrorism adviser, Brennan bears responsibility for the administration's drone program, which is killing civilians and sowing anti-American sentiment throughout the world. Brennan also stands accused of having detailed, contemporaneous knowledge of the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" on captured terrorism suspects during the Bush administration. The impact and legality of the drone program and the extent of Brennan's involvement in the Bush torture program should be central questions at his Senate Intelligence Committee confirmation hearing.

An angry prisoner told a judge Wednesday that he is ready to die in prison as a protest against the way he has been treated by the federal government.
Frank J. Morrocco, who suffers from leukemia, told U.S. District Judge John T. Curtin that he will refuse all medical treatment in jail because he feels he has been unfairly prosecuted for alleged violations of probation.
The 56-year-old Amherst resident initially told Curtin he wanted to plead guilty to a violation, but he changed course and lashed out at the judge and Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony M. Bruce.
"I'm not accepting the plea. I refuse to be treated the way I'm being treated," Morrocco said. "You people want me dead. You wanted me dead 20 years ago ... You can have my body."
Curtin scheduled a hearing for 2 p.m. March 13.
If Morrocco is found guilty of violating his probation, he could face another eight to 14 months in federal prison.
Morrocco is an ex-convict who was released on probation in late 2011 after spending 20 years in prison for cocaine trafficking. He suffers from a rare form of leukemia. Curtin sent him to jail Jan. 23 because of allegations that Morrocco violated his probation after Amherst police arrested him twice on shoplifting charges in the past three months.
Morrocco said he intentionally got himself arrested Nov. 16 – stealing various items from a grocery store in full view of store employees – because he could not afford to pay for health insurance. At that time, Morrocco said he wanted to be in prison so he could get high-quality health care he could not afford as a free man.
Following that arrest, friends and family members agreed to pay for Morrocco's health insurance, and a judge allowed him to remain free, on the condition that he not get into further trouble.
On Dec. 24, Morrocco was arrested again, this time accused of shoplifting at an Amherst department store. In this case, Morrocco said a woman friend who had gone to the store with him shoplifted, but Morrocco said he had nothing to do with the theft.
In letters and a telephone interview with The Buffalo News, Morrocco called Bruce and Curtin "ruthless" men and accused them of carrying a vendetta against him, going back to the early 1990s, when his drug case was litigated.
"Their story is lies," Morrocco said. "I'm refusing [all medical treatment] for my leukemia ... They put me in prison. I'm going to die here."
Authorities deny any vendetta against Morrocco and say they are only following the law in his case.
According to Bruce, Morrocco has had other run-ins with law enforcement and individuals since his release from prison, and by virtue of those actions, he has violated his probation.
His attorney, Jeremy D. Schwartz, said Morrocco needed to be released from jail this week in order to begin treatment Monday at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Now, that is not going to happen, Schwartz said.
In court, Morrocco said he was initially ready to plead guilty to violating probation by using marijuana last September, but he said he changed his mind after realizing Curtin was not going to allow him to be released from jail.
Morrocco is being held in the Federal Detention Center in Batavia. He said he was offered treatment by the medical staff there but refused it as a protest against the federal government.
