Missouri juvenile courts use a point system to determine whether a juvenile gets locked up for a crime. Many felony crimes do not reach that level. [More]

Notes from the Resistance
Missing Oklahoma men were shot and dismembered, police say… Before the group went missing, Prentice says he believes that the men were planning to commit a crime … Investigators said they searched a salvage yard where one of the men’s phones was tracked … evidence of a “violent event” was found at a nearby property. The owner of the salvage yard … is now considered a person of interest … [More]
I’m wondering if the bikes meant no one was allowed to drive. In any case, this sounds like it falls under the heading of FAFO.

Six women and six men were killed when unidentified gunmen opened fire in a bar in #Irapuato, a city in the center of Mexico, on Saturday night. It was the state of Guanajuato’s second mass shooting in less than a month. [More]
Another benefit of the Democrat voter recruitment program is there is literally nothing to stop such killers from coming here!

Vice principal lets armed gunman into Ohio school to protect them from police: report [More]
Is it really so unfair to wonder if “progressive educator” mindsets and the race of the suspects played any part in the decision, and that a different choice would have been made had they not “qualified”?
Any bets that these same administrators who so mistrust the police also oppose anyone who’s not an enforcer being armed?

“Nick was the big, rowdy one,” a neighbor of his brother Nathaniel told The Post on Thursday. “He was the big, funny one, a big teddy bear. He was huge. Big guy, but sweet as pie… He is said to have called 911 at 10:29 p.m. and waited with an AR-15-style gun for officers to arrive, according to the station. [More]
My guess is someone who knew him better would describe him differently.

Live updates of Raleigh shooting: Police identify 5 victims, including off-duty officer [More]
I see no mention of the type of firearm at this point, for whatever that may mean. I’ll also hazard a guess that there are those who know the little reptile who won’t be surprised.
Do you think anyone who works for the government—not just the police—should be able to pull you over and detain you? And if a government employee who was never granted police powers assumes these powers unilaterally and clearly violates your constitutional rights, should you be able to hold them to account? Or should they be allowed to get off scot-free through “qualified immunity” merely because they work for the government? [More]

A jury spared Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz from the death penalty Thursday for killing 17 people at a Parkland high school in 2018, sending him to prison for the remainder of his life in a decision that left many families of the victims angered, baffled and in tears. [More]
What do you think the odds are the ones who voted to spare him also support “gun control” and gouging out the unborn?

This is the vibrant utopia Democrats have planned for you!
By the way, when total crimes per 1K, as opposed to homicides alone, is considered as a measure of national violence, Nationmaster.com ranks Iceland, Sweden, the U.K., New Zealand, Finland, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Austria, France, S. Africa, and Switzerland worse than the U.S. Ask yourself this: if America is less violent with guns than most of the civilized world without guns, then what are we debating? [More]
And if you take Democrat-controlled Bloomberg cities out of the equation, armed-to-the-teeth red demographic America is less homicidal, too…

As an alternative to carrying a gun, Hemenway suggests women who feel threatened choose a different route or run during the day, in groups. If a woman feels she needs protection, “bear spray is much safer to use and just as effective as a gun would be,” he says. [More]
Sometimes, all you need to do is present… and he doesn’t seem to factor in multiple assailants.

The Left’s Funny New Lie: It’s The ‘Red States’ With More Crime! [More]
Factor out what’s happening in Bloomberg cities and armed-to-the-teeth Normal America ends up pretty safe until some out-of-control Democrat starts acting up.
