We’re the Only Ones Unhurried Enough

Residents criticize SLMPD for 13-minute response to shooting [More]

Why did it even need to be called in, with ShotSpotter on the job…?

We’re the Only Ones Bashing Enough

The first lawsuit accuses the officer of illegally detaining and assaulting bar co-owner Chad Morris. Morris and his husband, James Pence, were in disbelief when police crashed into their bar in December. “There’s no Breathalyzer given there,” Khazaeli said. “Instead, they immediately move to cover up what they did wrong by making the victims the bad guys here.” [More]

Meanwhile, Across the Pond…

A girl is in a critical condition after being shot by an attacker on a motorbike while having dinner with her family. The nine-year-old was one of four people injured shortly after 9pm on Wednesday at a restaurant in Hackney, east London. [More]

50 pounds says the attacker’s name is not even close to “Nigel” or “Cedric”…

And when it comes to England’s vaunted “gun control,” as I’ve long maintained, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Doctor-Patient Privilege

Covenant School shooter Audrey Elizabeth Hale reportedly told her therapist that she was fantasizing about killing her family and committing a school shooting, according to a report by 99.7 WTN radio host Brian Wilson. The therapist reportedly did not report these findings to authorities. [More]

Ah, screw it. It’s easier just to withhold the manifesto and blame the guns.

A Different Set of Rules

Biden calls son Hunter’s ‘resilience’ amid gun trial charges ‘inspiring’ [More]

Now let you get caught gaming NICS.

The gaslighting hypocrisy from these people is so in-your-face it stuns, which means it’s working.

Akron police are investigating an overnight shooting in which 25 people were shot, one of whom died. [More]

“The sphincter of America” seems a bit harsh. There are plenty of places I still go.

It’s the town of my birth, and this happened just minutes from the house we lived in back in the 50s — where we children freely played: If this doesn’t convince you that guns are to blame, what will it take?

You Can’t Have One Without the Other

“I don’t want to send more black and brown men to prison. I don’t want more people in prison, but I don’t want people buying girls. I don’t want people buying little girls anymore. I’m tired of saying it’s okay and that we have to protect the men who do it,” Eggman continued. [More]

There’s a Walrus joke in there somewhere…

Sensitivity Session

The brutal stabbing of a man in New York City’s Times Square Thursday underscores the futility of public disarmament, which affects only law-abiding citizens, and proves the proponents of so-called “sensitive zones” are clueless, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said.
