Notes from the Resistance
Two top officials in Mexico City died at the hands of a team of gunmen in a crime that shook the highest levels of that country’s government. The targeted killing comes just days after a group of gunmen in Jalisco State shot and killed two police instructors with ties to the U.S. Department of State. [More]

Defense for Colorado man accused of shooting teenager says gun to blame [More]
I don’t care if it was a Sig P320, this was unwarranted, cowardly, idiotic, and negligent.

A New Hampshire man who was heralded as the first black sheriff in the state’s history was sentenced on Monday to 3 1/2 years in prison for squandering $19,000 of taxpayers’ money on expensive getaways with multiple love interests — and then lying to investigators about what he’d done. [More]
I guess he had to work twice as hard at being a corrupt piece of s…

Three years ago, Detective Daniel Leyden shot and killed his girlfriend, Deputy Abigail Bieber, before turning the gun and killing himself. It was the third murder-suicide involving Hillsborough County deputies within five years. [More]
And the LEO/”civilian” divide isn’t just localized.
Just think of all the situations and places where they can have a gun and you can’t. Then ask yourself what the state is unleashing on the rest of us.

Teens hung out in a room with a gun. Now a Maryland father mourns. [More]
How many Maryland “gun law” violations can you count?
And there’s the obligatory Kris Brown quote, claiming “guns are ‘the number one killer’ of children and teens…”
It’s almost like “real reporter” Jasmine Hilton writes editorials instead of news…

Three U.S. State Department Advisors Gunned Down at Taco Stand in Mexico [More]
You gotta wonder who at the Jalisco State Police called in the strike.
Many more FA, if not this time, and I’d expect the FO retaliatory phase to be ordered.

“Bomb threats, for example, could lead to suspension or expulsion,” reports Nicole Asbury in the Washington Post. “Previously, the district’s student code of conduct said such threats could trigger the lowest level of response or penalty, such as a detention or other teacher-led intervention.” [More]
Hey, gotta prepare ’em for the real world…

“Representative LaMonica McIver assaulted, impeded, and interfered with law enforcement in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111 (a)(1)”… [More]
So, if convicted, will Gunsense Candidate LaMonica now be a “prohibited person”? And now that she’s been indicted, will any guns she might own be impounded?

Teen engineering student dies after ‘intentional’ gunfire penetrates floor during party – Authorities investigating 20-year-old suspect who fired multiple rounds at Michigan residence where alcohol was a factor [More]
No. You don’t get to blame alcohol. There are no mitigating excuses.
I’ve checked multiple sources and haven’t seen any that identify the piece of crap who did this.
Why?
In exchange for his repayment of the $3,500 that was stolen, the felony theft charges have been dismissed. [More]
So hes not a prohibited person now, like you or I would be if we ever sank so low?
Abusing a position of special public trust like that actually deserves more punishment than an ordinary person would get. Along with a good flogging.

5 deputies and officers sent to hospital after sheriff’s office says man intentionally blew up home… Because of Borja’s criminal history, the sheriff’s office also responded in a supporting role. [More]
Tell us more about that criminal history, and what the guy was doing out.
I’m sorry, I watched the video with the newschick with a nose ring and kind of lost track of everything else… Look, I’m old and never watch TV news, so I gotta ask: When did this become an acceptable professional standard?
I also don’t like to see cops with sleeve tats, so you’ll just need to forgive my intolerant social obsolescence.

“In communities with the highest rates of gun violence, residents are less likely to receive dental care.” [More]
Logical fallacies, anyone?
I’ll bet you could say the same thing about communities with the highest rates of STDs. Democrats, on the whole, are less sanitary.

Chris Brown was arrested in England on Thursday for allegedly attacking someone at a London nightclub in 2023. He’s being charged with one count of causing grievous bodily harm. [More]
Those Obama supporters… Delighted to send you lot our best!
We’ve seen anti-stab knives. Now it looks like the UK will have to come up with anti-club bottles.
