Fools and Your Money

The Cambridge City Council voted 6-3 in a meeting Monday to temporarily restore and reactivate ShotSpotter gunshot detection technology. The discussion came nearly a month after a city employee was shot and killed near a Cambridge park. [More]

It was useless at stopping it and they caught a suspect, so what’s the contention? That is police had responded soon enough the victim might have been saved?

Without knowing the extent of his wound and how soon he expired, it’s all meaningless and the response is purely one of image and emotion, and besides, that’s hardly the selling point that’s been used for cities to implement this proven boondoggle.

Criminal Breaks Law!

Deputies in Hillsborough County say they arrested a 29-year-old man after he allegedly threatened another driver with a gun during a road rage incident on I-75. Tuesday, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said Jordan Patascher was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and driving while having his license revoked.

If this doesn’t make you want to take it out on peaceable gun owners, I don’t know what will.

Welcome the Stranger

“Melissa Esperanza Ramirez-Romero is a criminal illegal alien with charges for Vehicular Manslaughter and DUI. On July 26, 2026, ICE lodged a detainer against her,” the department told the paper. To make things even more infuriating, Ramirez is not only registered to vote in Connecticut but has voted REPEATEDLY. [More]

Sounds like a vibrant addition to any community…

We’re the Only Ones Aiding and Abetting Enough

Youthful Indiscretions

A 15-year-old allegedly opened fire at the Bite of Seattle. Two broken laws will almost certainly let him walk [More]

Self-defense…? And they’re still clueless on who the killer is…?

Ah, well, it looks like he’ll have a chance to get social again soon. Along with all those other young worthies the system won’t take seriously.

UPDATE

CP follows up with some personal commentary we wold do well to read:

I see that you already posted that Mayor FiveHead sacked the Police Chief.

Did you notice in that opinion piece that it was all “gHoSt gUnS!” this and “gHoSt gUnS!” that but not a single mention of the fact that any auto conversion device is illegal in the state of WA (never mind the Fed penalties)? I told my gf that this is like Seattle’s version of the PCH fires fiasco. And the funny thing is these white liberals who vote for these clowns are shocked out of their smug complacency into a position of “Well!! This is GROSS incompetency!! I’m angry and want accountability”.

WRONG. DEItards like Shon Barnes couldn’t give 2 shits about the jobs or even trying to look competent. Their MO is just to land these high paying, big benefits package, low accountability and just milk the taxpayers dry. THAT’S IT. 99% of the time no-one will see that they really don’t actually do anything to earn these kind of packages, in fact they don’t do anything much at all except for work short hours, go on taxpayer funded jollies to all manner of foreign locations – for “conferences” – and the lack of review and oversight on their performance is such that they know they can easily get away with it.

It’s only in the 1-5% chance of a shitstorm like the PCH fires or the Bite of Seattle shooting that the facade comes crumbling down and everyone sees the wizard behind the curtain . Even then they get to walk away and pay no penalties, criminal or civil. It’s a sweet grift that the left have perfected over decades in local governance in all manner of cities and counties across the nation.

We’re the Only Ones Corrupt and Incompetent Enough

James short

A former St. Louis Sheriff’s deputy appeared in court Monday to be sentenced after admitting having sexual contact with an incarcerated woman at the city’s jail… In the meantime, Short has a pending case in St. Louis County Circuit Court after his 2-year-old nephew accidentally shot himself with Short’s service weapon at a home in Ferguson.

Don’t worry, Jimbo… you’ll have plenty of opportunities for sex behind bars now.

My ‘Conspiracy Theory’

Noting all the economic destruction, that people suffered medical complications where many died, and that disastrous long-term effects, especially on children, are yet unknown: I suggest it’s because he fears what his powerful, incentivized accomplices (in the “private sector” and in both parties) would do to him if he spills the beans on their culpability more than he does what Rand Paul will do to him if he doesn’t. And the only thing preventing them from removing him from the board is a deadman’s switch/file that names names.

If anyone has a speculative scenario that makes more sense, feel free to share it in “Comments,” below.

Citing an entry describing a June 2021 pulmonary infarction, Kennedy told Ingraham that five months after Fauci’s widely televised Moderna vaccination at the NIH, the doctor suffered a serious pulmonary event that clearly indicates a vaccine injury, yet never disclosed it to the public. Kennedy characterized that episode as evidence Fauci was “vaccine injured” while continuing to insist such side effects were not occurring at scale. [More]

An Unsolvable Paradox

Jared Leto is denying allegations of criminal sexual conduct after four women accused the Oscar-winning actor and musician of offenses they claim occurred when they were teenagers. “I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life,” Leto said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. “These claims are absolutely and categorically false.” [More]

“To me, the choice is clear. That choice must be Hillary Rodham Clinton.”

Is this what you’d call “circumstantial evidence”?
