NIMBY

San Pedro shooting: Suspects sought after 2 killed, 6 injured by gunfire at Peck Park- “Something like this happening in my backyard, I’m five minutes away from this park, is shocking,” said one community member. [More]

I’ll bet Sharon Tate thought she lived in a pretty safe neighborhood, too.

Besides, who would expect violence at an event attempting to broker peace between rival gangs?

Flight of Fantasy

Dallas airport shooting: DPD releases police bodycam of suspect who was shot [Watch]

I know we’re supposed to have a justice system with due process and all, but is it really wrong to fantasize about turning her over to the people forced to miss their flights?

That Feminine Touch

Child rapist and murderer lauded as ‘feminist’ and ‘advocate’ for LGBTQ Rights – Trimble has been recently celebrated in left-wing media as “a transgender woman, feminist, and activist.” [More]

And a real role model for girls everywhere! Hey, any chance of a furlough for library story hours?

What kind of hater would be against that?

“I told her we prefer ‘gun enthusiast,’” Nagel said. “She said she prefers ‘gun nuts,’ and she works for the ATF?”

Scott found nothing in the shop’s books other than a few minor clerical errors. There were no missing firearms or other significant problems.

“She said she was going to put us in for revocation, and that it may change as it goes up the chain, but that was her recommendation,” Nagel said. [More]

She sounds like a hook-baiter.

Tyranny enforcers haven’t learned a thing since King George “sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people.” I wonder if Republicans don’t blow it in November if House Oversight will subpoena her.

There Oughta Be a Law

Dallas airport accused shooter has lengthy criminal record, claimed to be Chris Brown’s wife, ‘God’s prophet’ – Portia Odufuwa, Dallas Love Field Airport shooting suspect, repeatedly deemed unfit to stand trial [More]

What’s crazy and criminal is opening the cage and letting them out when they’re still known to be dangerous.

Of course, wanting to be married to Chris Brown is a pretty good sign, too…

The Wrong Question

Is our justice system still capable of deterring killers? [More]

It never was.

What deters us from killing has always come from within. What deters killers is the same thing that deters all predators.

Is our justice system still capable of dealing with killers?

Increasingly the system results in anything but justice, and no, it’s up to the individual to have the means, the judgment, the training, the will, and the presence of mind afterward to not do or say anything to trigger the ever-dangerous state to turn on him.
