Local man busted robbing people he had lured via ebay.
Horne is charged with robbery and conspiracy under the Hobbs Act, which prohibits interference with interstate commerce by threats or violence, and for his partners' alleged use of firearms during the crimes.
I'm not familiar with the Hobbes Act. I wonder if it can be used against government officials who interfere with interstate commerce, by, for example, trying to regulate the internet.
