Friendly Persuasion

NYC man, 32, fatally stabbed by unhinged suspect was do-gooder activist and poet [More]

The correct answer to “What are you looking at?” is an unspoken “center mass.”

Then again, look who he was and where he was.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

ATF Warns Texas FFLs About Dangerous Cartel Activity in the Next 60 Days [More]

I don’t suppose there’s a fix for this before things get to that point…?

Oh, I keep forgetting– this has nothing to do with that “single issue.”

And point of order:

Former Attorney General Eric Holder authorized the sale of guns to the cartels in that operation. The idea was to track the weapons back to Mexico, but the Department of Justice (DOJ) lost track of the firearms.

That wasn’t the idea, that was the excuse. If there’s evidence the Phoenix Field Division got those instructions from Holder, I have not seen it. And you don’t “lose track” of weapons if you don’t attempt to track them.

This was no “botched gun sting.”

Unauthorized use, possession or storage of any weapon.

Since Black Lives Matter and since Garland and Wray assure us “white supremacists” are the greatest threat, can we safely assume they’re looking for hate-filled MAGA neo-Nazis?

No Noose is Good Noose?

The FBI is investigating what appears to be a noose hanging from a tree at a home in St. Charles County. [More]

Under what legitimate authority?

The guy says his kids swing on it. That seems stupid and dangerous (and possibly actionable), but even if they don’t and he means it to be what it looks like, how is having it on private property against any constitutionally valid law?

On the other hand, it seems like a great incendiary way to invite random arsonists, vandals, and attackers, which I guess brings us back full circle to the FBI.

Safety First!

A former Lyft driver appeared in St. Louis Circuit Court on Monday and admitted to the 2019 kidnapping and rape of a young woman. [More]

Thank goodness company policy protected him!

“We have a strict no-weapons policy, violation of which can result in a permanent ban from Lyft’s service,” Lyft senior manager of communications Alexandra LaManna said in an email to The Post. “The safety of the Lyft community is our top priority, and we have worked hard to implement policies and procedures to ensure its safety.”

Funny… I don’t see anything in Biden-Harris administration appointee LaManna’s LinkedIn Education and Experience profiles that show how she’s qualified to issue such a proclamation…

Could it be that “spokespeople” are just paid bull$h!++er hacks?

Kinda like someone else we know
