We’re the Only Ones Pooped Enough
A Texas police officer was fired from the San Antonio police department after two incidents involving feces. In one incident, officer Matthew Luckhurst fed a homeless man a sandwich with feces in it. He was later hired by the Floresville department but has been fired after an outpouring of anger. [More]

Abusing the Abuser?
Mother of fatally shot restaurant robber says customer who fired multiple rounds ‘abused’ her son: ‘Why didn’t you stop? … He was dead already … That hurts.’ [More]
I’ve had my own questions about the shoot, but there’s one indisputable truth you just can’t get around: If you don’t want someone to shoot you in self-defense, don’t try to rob them at gunpoint, fake or otherwise.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office is offering a sweetheart plea deal to a suspect charged in the brutal anti-Semitic beating of a Jewish man in Midtown, prosecutors confirmed. [More]
64/26 makes it awful hard for me to get worked up.
And forgive me for wondering if Waseem Awawdeh, Mahmoud Musa, Faisal Elezzi, and Mohammed Othman are really most accurately described as “Staten Island men” or if a better grouping might be under “rigorous.”

We’re the Only Ones Settling Enough
The $8 million settlement between Mesa and Laney Sweet for the death of her husband has finally been funded, according to Sweet’s attorney. The settlement was originally reached back in November 2022, nearly seven years after former Mesa police Officer Philip “Mitch” Brailsford killed Daniel Shaver, shooting him five times in a hotel hallway in 2016. [More]
Pretty sweet, when the payment for your murder comes from your victim pool.
I guess complaining about this makes me an idiot.
Still, this raises a question for me:
In 2018, it was confirmed by the Mesa Police Department that the U.S. Department of Justice had opened a civil rights investigation into Brailsford, subpoenaing all documentation pertaining to the shooting. At this time, no information surrounding the investigation has been released, nor has the city provided an update into the matter.
Do you think that would be the case if Shaver had not been… do I dare say it?

Too bad he didn’t try that at a North Georgia gas station.
Funny, how French authorities and media seem mystified by motive yet refuse to release details on the attacker that they’re well aware of.

Stupid, Good Fun
Joseph Halm Arcidiacono, 33, is a lucky man. Last November, he was arrested after he threw two full cans of White Claw hard seltzer at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), hitting him with one of them. But on Friday, Houston’s 185th District Court “no-billed” Arcidiacono, which means, according to Houston’s KPRC, that the criminal charges against him have been deemed “not sufficiently supported by the evidence.” [More]
The grand jury was stupid enough to believe he was inviting Cruz to chug them?

So when the grabbers talk about owning a gun being more dangerous than not owning one, first of all, they’re talking about people who don’t actually own them, and second, if you’re not a scumbag criminal loser, their “statistics” don’t apply to you…? Including women…?
Making manipulative crap like this a carefully crafted lie?
