Sorry, I do typos too. It just struck me as funny. [More]
It also strikes me that an “A” grade from Giffords is no indication of what someone who wants to ignore their infringements can do.

The man behind the beating hasn’t been identified in the media, and it’s not clear what kind of criminal charges he’s facing as a result of the incident. [More]
His victim was an old man?
How about attempted murder? (Figures Facebook would try to censor that and Politico would try to qualify it.)

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Invasive Enough
Arizona Gunmen Raid Home While Falsely Claiming to Be U.S. Marshals, Says Sheriff [More]
As I’ve noted before, it wouldn’t hurt to be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files. You never know when an “I was afraid he might not be a real cop” defense could use some validation that it’s a widespread and frequent enough phenomenon to be a legitimate concern.

An Inconvenient Truth
If anything, our criminal justice system is anti-racist, in that blacks are incarcerated at a lower rate than would be explained by their crime rates. [More]
You’d figure antisemitic racists would say something like that.

Culture Clash and Then Some
A St. Louis convenience store clerk who fatally shot a customer during a dispute over a candy bar was sentenced Friday to nine years in prison. At a bench trial in March, U.S. District Judge Henry Autrey found Taleb Rebhi Ali-Jawher guilty of a charge of being an undocumented immigrant in possession of a firearm. [More]

It’s Like a War Zone Out There
Per capita murder rates in major U.S. cities such as Chicago, Baltimore and St. Louis are outpacing Ukraine’s recorded civilian death rate from Russia’s invasion. [More]
You mean Bloomberg cities run by Democrats…?

24 Hour Unfitness
The “altercation” began inside the gym, on or near basketball courts, and carried out into the gym’s front parking lot where it “escalated,” police said. At least two people pulled out guns and fired multiple shots, police said, citing surveillance video. Several people fled the scene, police said. [More]
Rightwing extremists? NRA members?
Whoever they are, they don’t follow policy…

We’re the Only Ones ‘Do as I Say…’ Enough
A deputy sheriff in Calaveras County was arrested last month for allegedly being an addict in possession of a firearm… Ball has a history of alcohol and opiate abuse, investigators say, adding that he’d recently relapsed. [More]
So they knew he was an out-of-control armed junkie who by law is not allowed to have a gun? And turned him loose on the rest of us?
The sheriff is saying “investigators discovered…” about multiple rehab attempts, but the way this is carefully worded avoids the question of if they were in the dark about his condition from the outset.
Breaking News
Authorities are in a standoff with an armed suspect who tried to enter the FBI’s Cincinnati office [More]
It’s too early to assume anything. We’ll see if he fits any narrative-exploitable profile. If I had to bet I’d say he won’t. And if they do try to tie him in with heightened “anti-FBI rhetoric” by “conservatives,” there’s nothing being said that they don’t own.

It’s Academic!
A former Boston Public Schools academic dean who led a double life as a member of the Latin Kings gang and shot a student pleaded guilty to racketeering charges Tuesday, the U.S. District Attorney for Massachusetts announced. [More]
Yeah, that’s what we need… more tax-funded “youth mentoring programs“!

Consider the Source
My wife is a free lance journalist and has a journslist [sic] friend in MSM that gives her access to their aggregate feed where all this stuff daily flows. She sets up searches for me in that. [More]
I’d love to believe your stats, pal, I really would, but you’re going to have to be more specific than that. I also wish we were living in a society where there is no need to wonder if you’re just trolling to see who bites and spreads fake stats. Because, like I said, I’d love to believe this.

Nine killed in Kansas City metro last week, including five Sunday. Here’s what we know [More]
It’s a Bloomberg City run by anti-gun Democrats?
In fairness, Giffords gives them an “F,” so if it really is the guns like they say, you’d expect to see that reflected in higher Republican and NRA member violence rates, right?
Unless Democrats are lying, and their policies are what make this inevitable and predictable…
