I think when it went across state lines it did.

like when a car theft ring crosses state lines? generally, the feds don't get involved unless its extremely large and pervasive and violates the rico act.

Fuck that, he was good!

The thing about state's getting to enforce their own laws is, the fed can take that shit over anytime they want to. Just like busting the pot houses for cancer patients in California. Fed trumps state. That's why they threw out the articles of confederation, the states had too much power.
And lol @ chris farley baby.

yes. . .but it doesn't happen that often and was it warranted in this case?? and, if so, why?? maybe there's a lot more here going on than we know. . .i just have a tough time creating a scenario in my mind where it makes sense.

Well, people betting tens of thousands of dollars to watch animals get tortured and killed at a national celebrity's home when he's present and planning and hosting the fights is kind of big-ish, right? I don't give a fuck about a bunch of stolen cars that are covered by insurance. This is just awful.

The feds get involved more than you think.

There was a 12 yr old russian girl who got grabbed here on 4th of july. The feds came in. That was strictly local. They got the fucker locked up, a fucking worthless imigrant. They need to torture him before they kill him.

Also FEDS intentionally go after high-profile cases because they get the most coverage to set precendents for future cases and the public. Same as Federal Courts.
