Black Rights Matter

Dexter Taylor Sentenced 10 Years for Building His Own Firearms After Judge Banned Mentions of Second Amendment – “She told us, ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.’” [More]

Sounds like the wrong person is behind bars.

Any chair in a bar fight…

Big Brother is Piggybacking Off You

Businesses have six months to comply and if they don’t, they could face fines and citations. The ordinance also states that each business will be responsible for purchasing and posting the cameras. [More]

And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free…

Then again, it doesn’t look like self-control is a solution in Democrat enclaves…

We’re the Only Ones Diagnosing Enough

A police officer who visited Russo’s home to investigate allegedly reported that the dog was stiff, barely breathing, and appeared to be uncomfortable. The officer obtained a warrant and had Tipper euthanized. [More]

In Massachussetts, “Only Ones” are also “qualified” to file an ERPO petition.

Hey, take the dogs first, due process later, right?

It’s for the greater good…

Point/Counterpoint

What can I say but “Chris Murphy”?

I should go back and retitle this Damned Lie/Truth.

The Department of Pre-Hate Crime, Eh?

Justice Minister defends house arrest power for people feared to commit a hate crime in future [More]

With camps? Tell me there’ll be camps!

They imported this themselves:

Virani’s roots are in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India although he was born in Kampala. Virani is a multilingual Ismaili Muslim who came to Canada as a refugee from Uganda after the expulsion of Indians from that country.

This is just his way of saying “Thanks” to the people who took his family in.

So… guess who will (and who won’t) be commiting all the potential offenses.

Revealing Truth Forbidden Under Punishment of Law

Judge Overseeing Case to Release Covenant Killer Manifesto Warns of Contempt If Parties ‘Usurp’ Sealed Materials [More]

What filthy politics must be in play for this to even be an issue on as story of such public importance that’s being exploited to ratchet down on our rights?

If I had the information, I’d defy this robed tyrant in an instant and protect my sources to the end.

Just Be Thankful They Don’t Throw You in a Volcano

Hawaii poised to slap tourists with $25 climate tax… “It’s a very small price to pay to preserve paradise,” Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, a Democrat, told The Wall Street Journal. [More]

And who better to pay more tribute to than “the most corrupt state in America“?

I’d think this would run afoul of the right of citizens to travel freely. Then again, they already require visitors to abdicate their rights under the Fifth Amendment.

And don’t get me started on the Second…

Sons of Akal Purakh

Turban-wearing Sikh motorcyclists would be free to ride helmet-free in California if Assembly Bill 2392, proposed by Fresno Assembly member Esmeralda Soria, becomes law this year. [More]

And that bit about making no law respecting the establishment of religion, or that other bit about equal protection under the law…? Precedent has been established with the kirpan.

Maybe people could start their own “faith” and claim the same “privilege”? Just not without the state claiming it alone has ther power to recognize “authorized religions” (just like in China!)

Then again, it’s hardly surprising that a “Gun Sense Candidate” views rights as things that can be given or withheld depending on what’s in it for her.

As an aside, I always thought Sons of Anarchy based in California was ridiculous, with the first thing you see with all these lawless OMG warriors is them showing unified submission to the law by wearing their helmets of obedience.

We’re the Only Ones Power Drunk Enough

For nearly a year, the Commerce Police Department charged innocent people with driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol who insisted all along there was no evidence to make an arrest. One of them passed breathalyzer tests 10 times either in the field or at the jail, yet he was still charged with drunk driving. [More]

Deprivation Of Rights Under Color Of Law “is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty…”

What do they say? If you see something, say something…?

Let’s ask George what he thinks.
