Notes from the Resistance
One neighborhood in East Oakland is so dangerous that construction workers apparently feel unsafe. A construction crew left a residential street unpaved and refused to return because the workers did not feel safe being in the neighborhood. [More]
Something’s systemic, that’s for sure…
A civilization that tolerates this will collapse into savagery.

This video shows irrefutable proof that Roseanne Boyland was NOT killed from a drug overdose (as the corrupt DC Coroner’s Office reported) but, in fact, died because of a stampede organized by Capitol Police. [More]
Still, we can’t just ignore autopsy toxicology results. What were they and have they been independently examined?

LPD’s Criminal Investigations Unit said Little’s friend initiated a physical fight with one of the security guards, and while the two were swinging punches, several items, including two handguns, fell out of the security guard’s tactical vest.

“The firing of the officer who shot and killed Roger Fortson is a step forward, but it is not full justice for Roger and his family. The actions of this deputy were not just negligent, they were criminal,” family attorney Ben Crump said in a Friday evening statement. “While the criminal investigation is still ongoing, we fully anticipate charges to be filed against this officer. The video footage provides damning proof that this was a brutal and senseless killing of a young man who was simply enjoying time alone with his dog while video chatting with his girlfriend.” [More]
And to all the bloviating “Back the Blue” apologists who say he shouldn’t have answered the door with a gun in his hand knowing who was on the other side, what is it he really knew…?

Just wait. They’ll turn up at crime scenes. And fuel more infringement hysteria.
Many of you know I used to do policies and procedures for a defense contractor, and we had inventory controls and secure stores protocols in place to account for and prevent stuff going “missing.” Quite simply, it’s not that hard to achieve.
So this is either inexcusable incompetence and laziness, or outright criminality. Either way, if this happened at an FFL’s place of business, he would be shuttered and facing charges.
On the plus side, even when they have total registration they can’t handle it. Of course, we’ve known that for some time.
What a way to dishonor a memory. I do wonder what he’d have thought of the coerced name change…

Special Prosecutor Ric Hertel filed six additional charges against former Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel on Monday. Five counts of theft and one count of money laundering now raise Noel’s charge count to 31.

The first lawsuit accuses the officer of illegally detaining and assaulting bar co-owner Chad Morris. Morris and his husband, James Pence, were in disbelief when police crashed into their bar in December. “There’s no Breathalyzer given there,” Khazaeli said. “Instead, they immediately move to cover up what they did wrong by making the victims the bad guys here.” [More]

A girl is in a critical condition after being shot by an attacker on a motorbike while having dinner with her family. The nine-year-old was one of four people injured shortly after 9pm on Wednesday at a restaurant in Hackney, east London. [More]
50 pounds says the attacker’s name is not even close to “Nigel” or “Cedric”…
And when it comes to England’s vaunted “gun control,” as I’ve long maintained, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
And if Lord High “Only One” Chief Supt Conway really believes that “indiscriminate nature of gun crime” blather he just spouted for mass swallowing, e’s a bleedin’ twit, e’ is.
