“This case says that if you’re in a small town and somebody who is in the in-crowd decides to victimize you, you could have some problems,” said Marcantel. [More]
People ought to go to jail for this.
After being flogged in public.

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy is battling the deepest crisis of his presidency after a money-laundering probe named members of his inner circle, including an associate accused of living in “golden toilet” luxury, a former government official has claimed. Their comments came as the president faces scrutiny over the investigation that agencies said Monday involves associates allegedly linked to a plot to siphon around $100 million from Ukraine’s energy sector during the war with Russia. [More]
“Ukraine’s energy sector,” eh?
Did the “big guy” get his cut?
Zelenskyy could’a been a contender instead of a bum.
Strong Hypocrisy Endangers Lives
The former aide of Gov. Maura Healey charged with cocaine trafficking can now post bail after a previous judge ordered him held without bail following a dangerousness hearing. [More]
You wanna talk about dangerous, how about the criminal underworld he enabled?
That and “illegally owning a firearm and ammunition” makes it pretty easy to understand why he helped her disarm the “law-abiding.”

I’ve been called a lot of names but don’t think I’ve ever been called a “crony” before.
Funny, who’s cheering him on.

We’re the Only Ones Solicitous Enough
We’re the Only Ones Benefiting Enough
When the victim was 13, she described having a “friends with benefits” relationship with Swanson, in which she would receive gifts in exchange for allowing him to touch her and touching him as well. Such physical contact allegedly included oral sex, the highway patrol said. [More]
Again with the dating etiquette question…

Where’s the arrest?
Will it happen before her (alleged) handlers get to her?
And will she be kept in a safer cell than Epstein?
Alternatively, where’s the libel lawsuit?

We’re the Only Ones Trafficking Enough
Two sheriffs and numerous officers were arrested and indicted for allegedly helping traffickers run drugs in the Mississippi Delta, as well as in Memphis and, in at least two instances, in Miami. [More]
“Fourteen current and former law-enforcement officers are among 20 defendants”…? So… just a few bad apples, right?

And the ones not directly on the take are kept in check with the knowledge that anyone within their circle — at the highest levels — could be.
Understand that if the cartels objected to lawsuits against American gun manufacturers, they would make their expectations known loud and clear.

The Immunity Syndrome
After Supreme Court Win, NRA Is Back Challenging ‘Qualified Immunity’ for Ex-NY Regulator [More]
The plaintiff, the NRA, claimed that defendant Maria Vullo, while serving as the superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Service (DFS), encouraged insurance companies to discontinue their relationship with the NRA in an effort to retaliate against and chill the NRA’s gun rights advocacy.
Holding her accountable for her sleazy, partisan abuse of power could be the greatest lesson she teaches Fordham students.
We’re the Only Ones Powerless Enough
We’re the Only Ones Taking Back Enough
A former South Carolina sheriff pleaded guilty Thursday to federal charges that he helped steal about $80,000 from his force’s benevolence fund and took pain medication that was supposed to be destroyed as part of a pill take-back program. [More]
So, like with gun “buybacks,” the pills were the sheriff’s department in the first place?
Interesting character, Sheriff Wright:
Sheriff Missing Amid Federal Probe, Armed With Fully Automatic Weapons And SWAT Gear
The benefits of being an “Only One”…
Except he’s not any more.
And so much for “a few bad apples”:
Wright is at least the 12th sheriff in South Carolina to be convicted or to plead guilty to on-duty crimes in the past 15 years, for misconduct including extorting drug dealers, having inmates work at their homes, and hiring a woman and pressuring her to have sex.
Those are the ones who have been caught…

We’re the Only Ones Cheating Enough
The investigation began with a tip from Chief Deputy Anthony Collins’s wife, the records revealed. She alleged that Collins had cheated on her with a lower-ranking officer and on his required coursework, claiming he had someone else complete assignments for him. [More]
Boy, hell hath no fury, eh?
Sounds like he used more than the tip…
