Notes from the Resistance
A woman who exchanged gunfire with police on Friday, January 13, in downtown St. Louis, was released from custody. She was arrested after allegedly saying she was going to shoot up the social security office, then shooting at officers from inside her van. [More]
No worries. The mayor has launched a task force.
And it’s working as expected!

6 family members, including baby, shot dead at home in targeted ‘massacre’: Sheriff [More]
Notice they don’t identify the victims even though everything about this screams victim and perp cartel affiliations? And when the accompanying video is over, the next one begins with a somber “America: armed and dangerous”?

At first, he thought it was his uncle, but when he looked out the window, he saw a strange man coming towards his house. The teen who grew up hunting and taking safety training courses went right for his mother’s 9mm gun. [More]
Assuming the story happened as retold, what could the outcome have been had she followed the advice of all the “experts” — or obeyed “the law” where so mandated — and kept it locked up and separated from its ammunition?
UPDATE
And leave it to CNN to lead the charge.

Police said the toddler in Beech Grove was see. holding a loaded gun in an apartment hallway. Neighbors said the toddler was waving it around, even pulling the trigger. [Watch]
What a moron. That the child is in the hallway alone is neglect enough.
And guess who this other moron now works with…?

The same day that a 6-year-old boy shot his teacher in a Newport News, Virginia classroom, a school staff member searched his backpack on a tip that the child might be packing heat … “The firearm was displayed from his person, not from his backpack”… [More]
No, we still don’t know.

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]
And remember: Back the Brown!

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.”

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.
