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.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Minor’ Is

Lawyer Jim Trusty, former chief of the DOJ’s Organized Crime Section, said reports that the investigation is coming to an end suggests that Hunter will be hit with minor tax charges and for making false statements when purchasing a handgun in 2018.  [More]

Purchasing two handguns, actually, if anyone in authority is interested in, you know, investigating. And for each instance:

The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, ushered into law by then-Sen. Joe Biden, at the time chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made Form 4473 a key part of background checks for gun purchases mandated by the law.

Lying on the form is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. For being a user of unlawful drugs in possession of a firearm, the punishment is up to five years.

I’ll have to ask Stephen Stamboulieh if Hunter pleads out what that will do to my ATF complaint.

Modern Sporting Pitchfork

Whip-wielding Florida woman, 56, arrested for STABBING minivan with a pitchfork [More]

The thought strikes that one way to show the ludicrousness of the term “assault weapon” would be to observe that if the same “logic” were applied to this as is applied to guns, the tool in the hands of an “Only One” would magically transform into a “patrol pitchfork.”

And don’t get me started on “Modern Sporting Rifles,” a term I have always found irritatingly appeasing.
