A Series of Unfortunate Events
Cleveland Cavaliers player James Harden was arrested on Saturday in Houston on a misdemeanor charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon in a motor vehicle, according to the Harris County District Clerk’s Office. Harden was arrested at 3:41 a.m. and booked just before 5 a.m., then posted $100 bond and was released from police custody, according to charging documents, which said he had a handgun in plain view that was not in a holster.

Incredibly poor judgment…
You know, requiring someone to disarm before entering a hookah lounge…
Some might say just going to a hookah lounge in the first place…
Leaving the gun like that was pretty dumb, too.

The Long, Hot Summer
Five people were in custody as of Monday, and investigators identified 23 people as part of a potential network of plotters. The alleged plan involved using explosive-laden drones to hit buildings near the event, force a mass evacuation and steer crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team, officials said. A “second wave” was then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, according to officials. [More]
What better place to do it than a highly-publicized mass gathering in a “gun-free zone”? Because Trump, after all, is an avatar.
And there’ll be plenty more opportunities.
They’d better have it right, that it was an actionable threat vs. low-hanging fruit with no operational capability s#!+-talking on Signal, or this is gonna backfire bigly. The administration had better hope Kash Patel is too smart and cautious to advance an Emmanuel Goldstein narrative.
And that said, with the country divided by ginned-up mob hatred like I’ve never seen it before, all it’s gonna take is a cop shooting an urban yute and cities across the the land will burn.
Got ammo?

We’re the Only Ones Unreasonable Enough
“The police must have reasonable suspicion that the person is possessing the gun illegally or otherwise engaged in criminal activity,” wrote Judge Kathryn Grill Graeff. “Because the officers here stopped appellant based solely on his possession of a gun, without reasonable suspicion that he was possessing the gun illegally or otherwise involved in criminal activity, they did not have reasonable suspicion to stop him. The stop, therefore, violated appellant’s Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable seizures.” [More]

Do You Come from a Land Down Under?
When we compare these broader estimates, Australia’s rape and sexual assault rate is roughly three times higher than that of the United States. Australia’s assault rate is about twice as high, and its burglary rate is about 2.5 times higher. [More]
The factor in that 52% of U.S. counties where Americans can be armed to the teeth are as peaceable — or more so — than countries where government enforce a monopoly of violence.

$22 Million Gun Factory Relocates From Virginia to Georgia Over ‘Anti-Gun’ Legislation [More]
Good for them.
But in the grand scheme of things, it’s a drop in the bucket just compared to what the state spends on illegal immigrants, and then factor in how much money the state has to “work” with on other collectivist wealth extortion/redistribution schemes, and this won’t give anyone in power pause.

It’s not like this isn’t a thing we’ve been talking about for some time. But in fairness, accusations 15 to 20 years later raise huge red flags for me.
For starters, without physical evidence and credible corroborating actual witnesses of abuse in progress, how do you prove beyond a reasonable doubt?
