♫ It’s Time for An-i-man-i-acs and We’re Zany to the Max ♫

Vandals release up to 40,000 mink from an Ohio farm to their death – with at least 10,000 still unaccounted for: Plow brought in to clear road of carcasses after many were shot or run over by cars … A group called the Animal Liberation Front took credit for other releases of minks [More]

Who else can’t wait for geniuses like these to gain more political power?

We’re the Only Ones Pushy Enough

…Police said 20-year-old Rashaun Smith was shot in the stomach at the Walmart on Brodhead Road earlier this month. Vinyard rushed to the side of Smith to help him. Once paramedics arrived, Sansone said Vinyard stepped away to allow them to do their job. Sansone said an off-duty officer violently pushed Vinyard to the ground, causing him to slam his head on the pavement. He was rushed to a hospital, where he later died. [More]

And are you ready for a big surprise?

The officer’s name has not been released…

The ‘H’ Word

“It’s not a hate crime to assault somebody and in the course of it use the word ‘haole,’” court-appointed attorney Lynn Panagakos said during her opening statement. [More]

I wouldn’t count on extrapolating that to include other applications…

And speaking of Hawaii, with a new Bruen-defying “sensitive places” bill making the rounds there, I wouldn’t count on infringed recognition of the right to bear arms anytime soon…

What We Do and Don’t Know about the Colorado Springs Maniac

What we know about the suspect in the Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub shooting [More]

We don’t know if he’s one of those haters they’re presuming he is and then extrapolating that to apply to the rest of us. The photo suggests otherwise, at least in terms of being one of those “white supremacists” we’re told are the greatest threat. Where are the photos of him? Did he or did he not use social media, and if so, got links, or are we once again seeing those being taken down?

By the same token, we also don’t know if he’s just another self-loather.

We DO know that, aside from a renewed “ban assault weapons” blood dance and the not wholly unexpected revelation that he’s been on police and prosecutor radar before for bizarrely violent behavior, the left is also exploiting this to make people afraid to criticize real “all ages” red flags being waved with the potential to provoke low-hanging fruit.

Everybody and their brother in the “gun rights” world are going to be writing about this so I’m going to hold back and wait for more about the @$$hole to become known. At that point, I’ll decide if I have something to say that I don’t see anyone else bringing up.

At this point, I’ll use this post throughout the day as an aggregator if something comes across the transom that’s relevant and new.

UPDATES

The gunman who allegedly killed five people at a Colorado LGBTQ club is reportedly the grandson of a Republican California lawmaker who compared the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol to the Revolutionary War. [More]

Hoo-boy, here we go. Funny, that much they can find out.

Medieval Times

A New York City Police Department spokesman told the Washington Examiner that the man entered the building with a sword and ax and asked to “speak with someone in the politics section.” Security denied him, and he handed over his weapons when asked without incident. [More]

Now imagine if he’d been a serious threat. Is Times security up to the task, and if so, isn’t that interesting?

Much Ado about What, Exactly?

Krasner’s impeachment trial will go to the Pennsylvania Senate, where Republicans have a 29-21 majority. State law requires a two-thirds majority vote to remove Krasner from office. [More]

Anybody care to make a wager on if this will really be that “day of reckoning” “red wave”-promising Republicans are hyping it up to be?

Roach Clip

Harstfield also said the attack on his food truck was a hate crime, as he is black and gay… Tuesday, Hartsfield was charged with both arson and insurance fraud in connection to the fire that destroyed his food truck. [More]

If you can’t trust the proprietor of a vegan roach coach, who can you trust?

I’ll have the Jussie Smollett special served up with a side of irony, noting who he (allegedly) ended up ripping off on GoFundMe…

And we should preserve this before it goes away:

Speaking of Fascists…

A Portland “anti-fascist” activist has been found not guilty of being a fascist by roughing up a journalist and stealing his phone because he didn’t like what the reporter said about his Antifa friends. After the Portland judge let off the notorious Portland Antifa attacker, he delivered a lecture to the victim, reporter Andy Ngo. [More]

Sometimes, you can judge a book by its cover.

Amazing Grace

Very interesting, how four students can be overcome by one person with a knife, not a gun. [Watch]

Very interesting how anti-defensive gun use Nancy Grace can wonder about that.

Those of you who have sent in news tips on this story know I’m holding off on saying more about it until more is known.
