Some of you long time readers may remember Robin Long the little creepy looking guy that absconded to Canada after he’d been ordered to Iraq (after being in the military for two full years before his deployment). Canada wisely booted his dreadlock-wearing ass out last year. In August 2008<\/a> he was sentenced to 15 months in the Navy brig in San Diego – getting off pretty easy in my book.<\/p>\n

After our new president was elected, Long wasted no time whining to Obama<\/a> pleading for leniency. I don’t know if it had anything to do with it, but he got released yesterday 12 months after he turned himself in to the military (he must’ve got credit for time served before the trial). (LA Times<\/a> story)<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, what a journey the last four years has been,\u201d Long said as he left the brig.<\/p>\n

He was accompanied by Dawn O\u2019Brien, a board member of Veterans for Peace and a leader in Military Families Speak Out.<\/p>\n

After being returned to this country, an Army court-martial sentenced Long to 15 months and a dishonorable discharge.<\/p>\n

Even after he is processed out of the Army, Long may not be able to return to Canada, where his girlfriend and their 2-year-old son reside.<\/p>\n

Canadian law prohibits convicted felons from entering the country, although Long\u2019s supporters have vowed to appeal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another deserter, Kimberly Rivera<\/a> (also known as Queen Fat Ass, the Baby Factory) appealed to the Canadian Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration<\/a> to keep her, her fat, lazy unemployed husband and “who knows how many kids now” in Canada. I’d prefer they stay there, though, so we don’t feed all of those mouths and house her bitchy video game playing husband. Let the Canucks keep them all. Serves them right for letting them into their country in the first place.<\/p>\n

TSO, who for some reason is working hard at the job that pays him money, says he’ll have more on Long on Sunday. Needless to say, his early release caught us off guard today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
