Friends Speak Up for McVey
Since Joseph Sean McVey was arrested on Sunday for being armed in the same airport as President Barack Obama, his friends are countering claims that he is a terrorist.

He has been charged with going armed in terror of the public, a misdemeanor. His bail is set at $100,000, and he could face up to 120 days in jail if convicted. [Houston Chronicle]
