The Satisfaction That Comes from Being ‘Law-Abiding’

Maryland dad beaten to death after protecting his kid in middle school fight [More]

He was “confronted by three teens and two adults” …?

Good thing “assault weapons” are considered unsuitable for self-defense in Maryland! Otherwise, the whole thing might have ended with nobody getting hurt, or at least the right ones…

We’re the Only Ones Incentivized Enough

A security camera on his house is part of a network on more than 130 homes and businesses that send alerts to a private-duty police officer hired by the neighborhood. [More]

If I’m reading that right, they don’t do the job while they’re on duty so they can charge a premium while they’re off duty…? That’s what “shows the plan is working”?

We’re the Only Ones Youth-Oriented Enough

A former Baltimore City police officer was indicted on child sex crimes… Larry Tucker, 56, is facing 16 sexual offense counts, including nine felony counts of sex abuse with a minor… In an indictment issued by a Baltimore City Grand Jury, Tucker was also charged with two felony counts of sexual solicitation of a minor, along with felony child pornography, and conspiracy to commit sexual offense charges. [More]

Notice they always make a point of saying “former” when the alleged crimes were committed while the “Only Ones” were “current”?

Useful Idiot

A Texas man pleaded guilty to buying a gun for the Gulf Cartel used by gunmen in Mexico during a kidnapping where two U.S. citizens were murdered. [More]

Every once in a while they haul in a freelancer they can tie to something heinous just to keep up impressions.

A ‘Tragic Accident’

Shannon Brandt pled guilty to manslaughter after Cayler Ellingson was killed when he was hit by Brandt’s vehicle in September 2022. The guilty plea comes just weeks after the charges were reduced from murder to manslaughter. [More]

Now imagine the sentence is Brandt were the “Republican extremist” and his victim had been [insert preferred woke category here].

The Journalistic Turd in the Punch Bowl

Women are buying more guns, though studies suggest self-defense use is rare… A Harvard University analysis found people defended themselves with a gun in less than 1% of crimes from 2007 to 2011. More recently, a Stanford University study of 17.6 million Californians found that people who lived with handgun owners but did not own a gun themselves died by homicide more than twice as often as their gun-free neighbors. [More]

If what they say is true, NRA families must be self-destructing at an astonishing rate.

Somebody at Faux News decided it was important to offset reality by citing “statistics” and talking points from people who want to ban guns. Nothing like assigning such stories to a self-described “cat lady.”

An Explosive Situation

Officials investigate mysterious disappearance of 30-Ton shipment of explosive chemicals in California [More]

So Chuck Schumer’s proposed taggant mandate would have worked about as well as tracing guns back to their original purchasers?

The question now becomes “Who has them?”

Enemy foreign open border opportunists or an FBI/ “white nationalist” low-hanging fruit joint venture…?

Tot Shot

3-year-old shoots 2 people in Lafayette, who was wanted for murder [More]

I can’t tell you how many times that happened at my house when feral sons Uday and Qusay were growing up.

Thank goodness “safe storage laws,” or in Indiana’s case, a Class C felony for “dangerous control of a child/firearm” charge, will keep these things from happening in high-risk (criminal) homes!
