We’re the Only Ones Too Late Enough

NYC woman calls 911 three times as she’s terrorized, slashed by ex-boyfriend, but cops don’t show up until next day [More]

What does that tell us about our national media, its priorities for promulgating useful knowledge, and its motivation for ignoring anything that doesn’t advance approved narratives that most people are unaware of this most basic of truths?

Lies, Damned Lies…

But this “guns first” approach ignores a basic fact – over 92% of violent crimes in America do not involve firearms. Although Biden blames guns for the increase in violent crime, the latest data show that gun crimes fell dramatically. [More]

It’s almost like they have a hidden agenda or something…

Fools and Your Money are Soon Parted

Harris County says ShotSpotter gunfire-detecting device has made a difference [Watch]

Sure it has.

Chipman’s buddies now have $800K more from the public trough.

And just look at those talking heads regurgitate whatever those they’re supposed to be watchdogging tell them, all with practiced looks of sincerity and concern. I’m wondering if there is anything more useless than “real reporters.”

The Long March to Tyranny

[More]

As Edwin Vieira Jr. noted in Kolbe v. Hogan:

This reliance on a permanent private market for firearms guaranteed that most militiamen, through their own efforts, could always obtain firearms suitable for both collective and individual self-defense, and forestalled tyranny by precluding rogue public officials from monopolizing the production, distribution, and possession of firearms.

This is more than tyranny. Deliberately undermining “the security of a free State” is treason.

We’re the Only Ones Voluntary Enough

You know, one of the programs that we launched when I first became sheriff was working with a judge for a gun surrender program, and it’s in one of the family courts, and it’s been pretty successful. We do it… we encourage someone going through a divorce if they have a weapon, to be able to surrender that weapon voluntarily and for us to be able to store it safely while they’re going through a situation…   [Watch]

It’s all voluntary. You volunteer to surrender it. You just need them to volunteer to give it back.

We’re the Only Ones Evidence-Tampering Enough

After the snippy exchanges, one of the officers searches Pesce’s vehicle and finds his police badge — and remarks, “Ohh,” NJ.com said, referring to the hour-plus footage the site obtained. Both officers then turn off their cameras, the outlet said — with their tone markedly different when the cameras are switched back on, with Pesce now being called “chief,” the outlet noted. [More]

I’d say “Now imagine had this been you” except I don’t know anyone who would get himself in this type of disgustingly pathetic situation.
