A Matter of Priorities

The Washington D.C. prosecutor’s office that targeted January 6 protesters, including a 71-year-old great-grandmother known as the “Praying Grandma,” decided to drop charges of kidnapping and murder against a young woman who carjacked a vehicle carrying a sick woman then crashed the car, resulting in the sick woman’s death.

More Than Meets the Eye?

A homeowner in Oakland was arrested after shooting and killing a robbery suspect. The 77-year-old homeowner was arrested on suspicion of murder. He remained behind bars on Tuesday while the district attorney considered whether to file charges. [More]

If he listens to his lawyer and keeps his mouth shut, he ought to be able to claim self-defense, but using a stolen gun doesn’t help and they may at least get him on that– assuming he’s not a “prohibited person” and “eligibile” for more, and that this wasn’t a dispute between associates…

If Only They’d Disarm You and Me…

Schierbaum said the suspected shooter has been arrested at least 11 times and is someone who should never have been in possession of a gun. [More]

Yeah? And how does he propose to make that happen?

Interesting response options…

Tangentially-Related UPDATES (Alright, they happened around Atlanta, so I’m gonna stuff ’em all in the same drawer)

These two take me back years, to a job I briefly touched on. They hired me to run their plant in SoCal but wanted to indoctrinate me with an introductory month-long gig as the preseident’s personal assistant, to learn the company (his) ways.

I wasn’t there but a day or two when he got the call that his Atlanta plant manager needed brain tumor surgery, so my trial by fire was to fly down there and take over the factory until such time as he could come back to work or a permanent replacement could be found.

I was going through the financials with the controller down there and asked why we were being hit up for something called “MARTA,” and she explained the Metropolitian Regional Transit Authority sales tax. The (black) foreman overheard us, laughed, and told me it stood for something else.

Inventing Connections

Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed, his chief of staff Chip Hill, and Montgomery District Attorney Daryl Bailey blamed the crime wave on the legislature passing permitless carry. [More]

Because as we all know, that made it legal for prohibited persons to carry guns and victimize others.

Show me a gun-grabber who doesn’t rely on stupid people to get elected.

¿Cómo se Dice ‘Slippin’ Jimmy’ en Español?

Migrants are brazenly jumping in front of moving cars in Brooklyn in a bid to get hit and squeeze cash out of frightened drivers. [More]

Doing the scams Americans won’t do?

I don’t imagine public floggings followed by immediate deportation are on any legislative agendas?

Then again, New York City…

Who cares?

Law of the Jungle

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.
