We’re the Only Ones Solving Enough

St. Louis sheriff offers crime solution. Who’s listening? [More]

What’s this “meet force with force and get the bad guys off the streets” bit of disproportional racism?

Everybody knows the real solutions involve throwing money at “community leaders” to administer boondoggles and talk about jobs for predators you’d be scared to have anywhere near you!

Doing the Job Government Won’t Do

Some of the most wealthy and influential business leaders in the City of Chicago have unveiled an ambitious violence reduction plan. [Watch]

I didn’t see any demands for new citizen disarmament edicts, so have at it.

Still, I got ten bucks says throwing private reparations money at the noisiest rabble-rousers to shut them up and offering jobs to the unemployable won’t work. Any takers?

Being a billionaire do-gooder doesn’t mean you don’t live in an ivory tower– in fact, it guarantees it.

The MAGA Menace!

A former GOP candidate in New Mexico has been indicted on federal charges in connection to a spate of shootings at Democratic officials’ homes after he lost his 2022 midterm election bid, court documents show. [More]

CNN is groping itself in ecstasy now that it’s finally got a Republican involved in “gun violence.”

With the guy’s prior record, you’d think Democrats who are all about felons voting wouldn’t have sued to keep him off the ballot. And the Stupid Party “leadership” failed, too: Instead of disavowing the creep, they played the “young Hispanic man, who turned his life around” card, as if Democrats still won’t paint them as a bunch of white supremacists.

Down in Mexico, Where the Peppers Grow

Authorities in western Mexico find dozens of bags with human remains [More]

And what’s to stop the animals who do that from coming here? A better question would be why are the doors being held open for them, and anyone cautioning against it being smeared as a xenophobe and hater?

Ask if they’ll sign one of these:

I thought at first it might be an Ohio law thing about places that serve alcohol, but Giffords, of all groups, gives us an “out”:

Ohio also generally prohibits possession of firearms in establishments licensed to sell liquor in rooms or open air arenas where alcohol is being served on premises, although this restriction generally does not apply to people who are licensed to carry handguns or otherwise eligible for permitless carry, if they are not consuming alcohol or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and if the establishment does not restrict firearm carrying.

I see some comments suggest carrying anyway and they’ll never know. I won’t for two reasons that have nothing to do with their property rights: First, anyone telling me up front they don’t trust me and would rather see me dead than armed won’t get a dime from me, and second, advertising up front that they’re a gun-free zone attracts dangerous scumbags I’d rather not expose myself and my family to.

Leaping to Illusions

Mexican TV reports that dozens of U.S. AT-4 weapons systems, which were originally shipped to Ukraine, have been purchased by Cartel Golfo in Mexico. [More]

I’m suspecting a misinterpretation and/or sloppy reporting because the source report only says:

“The weapon, which is only sold to armies and has been widely used during the invasion of Ukraine, was in the hands of a hitman from Los Escorpiones, a cell of the Gulf cartel, which operates in Reynosa.”

If weapons are being redirected from Ukraine, this, as stated, doesn’t prove it.

Besides, we know how the cartels get their weapons.
