Notes from the Resistance
The suspect was heard cocking a gun as he opened Vargas’ driver side door. Vargas appeared to stay calm as Martinez watched in shock. Vargas gave the carjacker his belongings and exited the vehicle. [More]
Who thinks his still being alive is due to “commonsense gun safety laws”?
In short, prosecutors often decide who will go to prison for a long period of time, regardless of the will of the voters. It gets even a little stranger. Though many states initially stripped judges of any discretion under habitual offender laws, the courts pushed back. For example, a case in California (People v. Romero) ended up with the California Supreme Court declaring that trial courts have discretion to dismiss or strike prior strike allegations in Three Strikes cases, either on the court’s own motion or on motion of the prosecutor (even over the prosecutor’s objection). Stated more bluntly, trial judges can creatively thumb their noses at three-strike law requirements. [More]
There’s only one law that should matter with violent habitual offenders.
Pastor Corey B. Brooks and Project H.O.O.D. hosted the “1000 Men Unity Gathering” at the nearly completed Robert R. McCormick Leadership & Economic Opportunity Center at 6620 S. King Drive, where organizers declared the surrounding area a “100% violence-free zone.” [More]

Hey, you can fight crime or you can focus on police discrimination settlements. You can’t do both.

An affidavit says that the shooting happened after a fight broke out between members of rival gangs who were at the party. Those involved in the fight began firing among the crowd, striking multiple people at the party. [More]
What conclusion could any reasonable person come to other than there are too many guns?

Corruption and/or cowed acquiescence at the highest levels surprises who…?
Well, who’s pleasure do they serve at?
Minnesota nonprofit accused of siphoning $6.5M to fund Vegas trips, luxury cars, private liquor store… Trahern Pollard, founder and now-former director of the nonprofit We Push For Peace, was supposed to be leading his organization in providing “conflict de-escalation’’ work… [More]
S0, he basically just applied the money to a different scam than the approved one…?
The spirit of Big Weasel lives on…

Boston gang members, associates facing slew of firearm, drug trafficking charges… “I think it goes without saying that today’s arrests and seizures have made our communities safer.” [More]
If what they did was bad enough to determine they cannot be trusted without a custodian, what difference does what firearms they had make?
Beware of laws that can be used against you and me.

[W]hen Bradley was asked why he took the laptop, he said he was doing Holland a “favor.” “I kept it for his courtesy, like I said with his phone, key and wallet,” Bradley told investigators. “It’s my mistake. I forgot to give him his stuff back and he tracked it.” [More]
And he only got a one-day suspension…? I think that’s what they call “professional courtesy.”
It’s instructive for what they call “top cops,” isn’t it?
And remember: Back the Blue!

As a store manager, Teeter knew the timing of cash transfers within the business. In each robbery, a masked gunman entered the store, forced an employee into the manager’s office or accessed the manager’s office using a code provided by Teeter or her co-conspirator. The gunman then robbed the employees and fled through a rear exit. Teeter and her co-conspirator took turns pretending to be the victim manager on duty, knowing that the robberies would be captured on internal surveillance. [More]
Sounds like another great reason for first-degree corporate abandonment.

[A]n elderly man in California was killed when an anti-Israel protester hit him in the head with a megaphone… The protester who was charged with the man’s death was just allowed to plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter in exchange for a ridiculous plea deal that includes a sentence of one year in prison followed by probation. [More]
He can’t even be trusted with a megaphone and they’re letting him out?
And “we” let him in. Rigorous!

A Dominican illegal alien who is also a murderer in his home country, with both a deportation order and an Interpol Red Notice arrest warrant, was ordered released by a Biden judge after he was arrested by ICE. [More]
They do it with impunity — for now. Let violent leftists prod the country into tit-for-tat and some people are going to remember past “official” injustices.

Temple Terrace police officer arrested in crash that killed 6-year-old girl: City officials – Authorities said dash camera footage from Temple Terrace police revealed Officer Krug was traveling at a speed of 104 MPH in a 50 MPH zone, just seconds before the fatal traffic crash. [More]
Hey, he didn’t want to be late. Besides, if he’d gotten in trouble for that, he’d have probably used “excessive force and profanity in the field” again.
