The Boyfriend Loophole

The bar worker fatally stabbed in an Irish pub in Queens over the weekend was a “sweet, innocent girl” from Ireland whose boyfriend attacked her, police sources and witnesses told The Post on Sunday. [More]

My spider-sense starts tingling when I see half-a-dozen different accounts of this story and none of them I’ve found so far identify the “boyfriend.”

The Wrong People

The now 49-year-old father of 12-year-old twin girls focuses on the bad guys who end up using the guns, he said. “Guns are not the problem,” said DeVito, who plans to retire next month. “I’m an advocate of the second amendment. At the end of the day, the problem is guns ending up in the hands of the wrong people.” [More]

And there’s only one solution to that. The one nobody wants to acknowledge.

We’re the Only Ones Cut Back Enough

Baltimore is now facing apocalyptic levels of policing shortages. Last week, THREE police officers patrolled a whole district of 61,000 residents. [More]

So what better way to divert attention from total incompetence than to gaslight everyone with a meme that those opposed to DEI “don’t have the courage to say the ‘N’ word“… ?

Now, when the city descends further into hell, anyone pointing that out can be condemned as racist.

Tales Out of School

On Jan. 6, 2023, one of Zwerner’s first-grade students pulled a gun from his front hoodie pocket and fired a single round at Zwerner … In her lawsuit, Zwerner asserts that the school division’s negligence allowed the shooting to happen and alleges the assistant principal ignored several warnings the boy had a gun that day. [More]

An adult had reason to believe a six-year-old was armed and did not immediately go and personally find out and take care of it, and now the taxpayers are subsidizing his cowardice.

I wonder if a sufficient number of Americans will ever grok what they’re allowing public schools to do to their children — and to them — while they foot the bills.

If Only We Didn’t Have Rights…

Recent operations by the FBI and prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice has led to federal convictions for Florida residents accused of buying high-powered guns to arm the gangs in Haiti… “These international gangs and these criminal organizations have very sophisticated means and networks to be able to facilitate smuggling, whether it’s through shipments, out of the ports, airlines, different things like that…” [More]

Why would they need to?

I notice how it is “international gangs” are in this country in the first place is left unexplored.

Better to let NBC News of rigged flaming truck notoriety blame DeSantis…

Dix: Representatives of People Who Resist Infringements Have a Lot of Gall Complaining About Crime

In addition to nullifying existing firearm regulations, the bill makes it even more difficult for officials to enforce gun laws. [More]

He says that like it’s a bad thing.

We’ve met Griffin Dix before:

A loaded chamber indicator on a Beretta 92 Compact L did not stop 14-year-old Michael Soe from feloniously killing 15-year-old Kenzo Dix during a practical joke. The fact is, Soe’s father left a loaded gun where an untrained, impulsive and judgmentally-challenged adolescent could find it. In their lawsuit, backed by CPHV, Dix’s parents maintained, among other charges, that the chamber indicator was inadequate because the gun was not inscribed with a warning as well. Presumably, were Beretta to do so, they would still be deemed negligent for not including such warnings in Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese and Tagalog.

We can sympathise with his loss. That does not give him a pass to attack our rights, and when he does, his motives shouldn’t lessen our response.

Small reportedly fired two rounds at the officer. [More]

There oughta be a law!

The Wrong Question

Because it’s really about something else.

Sister Act

Man in ‘Scream’ costume fatally attacked neighbor with chainsaw, knife, paperwork says… In the report, police said they interviewed Moyer’s sister, who told them Moyer had been talking about killing Whitehead a week before the crime. [More]

What would you want to do if your loved one was killed and it turned out the perp’s family knew of the plot and did nothing to warn anyone?

How about at least some aiding and abetting charges?

We’ll Get There Fast and Then We’ll Take It Slow

A well-known politician in the Bahamas was fatally shot on Wednesday during an armed robbery, police said. Two gunmen opened fire on a group of people outside of an unspecified business establishment in a neighborhood near Nassau… [More]

Gomer…?

Firearms, ammunition, and other weapons are not permitted in The Bahamas. According to The Bahamas Firearms Act, individuals found to have a firearm or ammunition in their possession without a legally issued Bahamian gun license face a penalty of up to 10 years’ incarceration and $10,000 fine.

Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama…

The Everytown island life isn’t for everybody.
