Sending a Message

Former Mexican cartel kingpin Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada will spend the rest of his life in prison after pleading guilty Monday to U.S. drug trafficking charges and saying he was sorry for helping flood the U.S. with cocaine, heroin and other illicit substances and for fueling deadly violence in Mexico. [More]

Sounds like he doesn’t want to be found hanging by a chain and is signaling those who betrayed and supplanted him that, with a plea deal that “doesn’t obligate Zambada to cooperate with government investigators,” it’s better for everyone concerned not to try.

Hold That Tiger

There are some behaviors so aberrant, some crimes so vicious, and some consciences so amoral that it can never be safe to allow a congenital predator unfettered access to a potential victim pool and not expect that innocents will be attacked. [More]

My latest American Handgunner “Second Amendment” column is out.

We’re the Only Ones Searching Enough

Prosecutors said Odom used law enforcement databases to find information about seven people, including his wife, romantic partners, relatives of his romantic partners, a hotel employee and a woman who worked in his office building, without any legitimate law enforcement reason. [More]

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Bryan Kohberger, the former criminology Ph.D. student who killed four University of Idaho undergrads in a 4 a.m. home invasion ambush, is complaining to prison guards that other inmates are threatening to sexually assault him and pleading for a transfer to another wing of the prison, according to a new report. [More]

While I understand why some are inclined to gladly view a tortured, terrified soul as fitting karma, and actual victimization as justice, think it through– those providing compulsory custodial care have an obligation to ensure the safety of their charges. I’d like to see a duty to protect, with real and personal legal consequences for exploitation, negligence, deliberate indifference, and failure. Because it could be you or me in gen pop for getting caught defying a “gun charge” or defending ourselves against a raging, out of control “Only One.”

The fact that inmate endangerment of assault, rape, and murder, is not only an issue, but a universal expectation, tells us much about the corruption and incompetence characteristic of total government control.

Speaking of Making Us All Look Bad

Santa Barbara City Employee Arrested on Drug, Gun, and Child Pornography Charges… Aldrich is also the current board president of the Winchester Canyon Gun Club. [More]

Nice final touch with the “45/47” shirt…

Yes, guilty until proven innocent, but if the former, we have to be the ones demanding to hang him higher — on everything but the gun charges — than anyone.

Jeez, and the cock hasn’t even crowed once…

And to think Prags used to accuse me or Mike of making us all look bad for calling out rights rapists and insisting on “shall not be infringed” with consequences for violations…

We’re the Only Ones Lecherous Enough

Judge’s murder exposes secret sex ring in small Kentucky town — Sheriff accused of killing Judge [More]

Letcher County– talk about an aptronym.

Ain’t no accounting for tastes, I guess.

I thought it was because his underage daughter was being raped. That still doesn’t explain why the dumb@$$ did it in a way that ensured he’d be caught.

We’re the Only Ones Just Kidding Enough

An Illinois State Police trooper from Deerfield has been arrested for allegedly possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material … the agents found evidence of deleted child porn on the cellphone he was holding at the time, and some of the images were reportedly of children whose ages were around four years old. [More]

Just think– when I went to Chicago for a family memorial service a month back, he could have arrested me if I had defied their citizen disarmament edicts.
