A Rhetorical Question

White supremacist rhetoric online, including the promotion of racist conspiracy theories, has been linked to Gendron and his motive behind the Buffalo attack… [More]

The goal here is not just to disarm the citizenry– it is to reduce allowed speech to that which won’t trigger the lowest common denominator sociopaths, meaning to eliminate any but approved speech. It’s the same crap the Bloombergians are pulling on Daniel Defense.

I don’t suppose it’s in anyone in power’s interests to focus instead on those who can’t be trusted with words…?

Taneaious, We Hardly Knew Ye

Four people, including teenagers, were shot during a home invasion in DeKalb County on Friday, authorities said… The victims were identified as Jacqueze Grier (23), Taneaious McCune (18), and a 15-year-old minor. [More]

But wait, like the old ShamWow “infomercials” used to say, there’s more!

A 17-year-old is dead and two children are wounded after a shooting at a candlelight vigil for a shooting victim in DeKalb County, police said… Police said that the candlelight vigil was being held for 18-year-old Taneaious McCune, who was killed on Friday night near Gresham Park in an attempted home invasion.

Yep, no doubt about it. The problem is the guns.

At least that’s the line Raphael and the Idiot Moms are selling.

We’re the Only Ones Catfishing Enough

Ex-Virginia trooper dies in shootout after killing family of teen he had catfished, police say – Before he drove away with the girl, police believe, he set a fire at the home where her grandparents and mother were found slain. The teen is in protective custody. [More]

I didn’t even know what that term all the “news” stories are freely throwing out meant, and in this account, you have to make it all the way down to the next to the last paragraph to find it’s pretending to be someone you’re not. I still don’t understand the connection with the term, and this hardly helps.

If you think about it though, adopting a fake persona to lure others into trusting you is what being a provocateur/CI is all about, so maybe that’s what we should start calling them. I’m not late with that, am I?

In this rabid mutt’s case, it would be interesting to find out how much of that he learned on the job, and now that he’s dead, opening his files to find out what his employers knew, when they knew it, and why he’s an “ex” could be instructive.

We’re the Only Ones ULLA TELUM Enough

[T]wo groups of people who had earlier been engaged in a bar argument that spilled out on the street before shots were fired … the deputy showed he was armed and that another man drew a gun and began to fire at the deputy. Police said officers ordered everyone to drop their weapons. One man, later identified as Caselnova, repeatedly refused to comply before officers opened fire…[More]

Any gun in a bar fight?

Maybe “Only Ones” who warn against “blood in the streets” are projecting…

Base Motive

The Las Vegas Democrat who is accused of fatally stabbing a journalist who exposed his martial affair was allegedly told by his mistress that photos revealing their tryst were set to come out hours before the killing. [More]

But he seemed so “reasonable”

In retrospect, it hardly seems surprising that a gun-grabbing Democrat’s own family couldn’t trust him.

Getting What They Voted For

The store’s owner Marcy Landolfo said that after 15 break-ins over the last year and a half, the business can’t survive the financial burdens the crimes have cost the shop. [More]

So, Marcy… if I made a bet that you’re a Democrat with “progressive” sympathies who favors “commonsense gun safety laws,”, would I lose?

Because Everyone Knows Correlation Equals Causation!

Maybanks and Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness agreed that the increases in gun charges are attributed to gun law changes — such as that carry permits are no longer required in Iowa. Maybanks acknowledged that individuals have a constitutional right to carry a firearm, but if they have been convicted of a felony or use the gun illegally, they have no such right. [More]

So leaving aside the obvious for a moment, how does permitless carry change any of that?

Oh, it doesn’t?

Then why would Janet say that?

Great job there just parroting and not questioning that, “authorized journalist” Trish Mehaffey!

New York, New York, It’s a Wonderful Town

NYC bill preventing landlords from performing criminal background checks gains traction – New York City Mayor Eric Adams has suggested he supports the legislation [More]

Seeing as how the vast majority of people this will affect vote Democrat, I say go for it. Maybe force landlords to offer preferential discounts to them because they’ve been socially disenfranchised…

How do you like that Eric now, Tucker?

Who’s Really Being Raped Here?

“Trump’s false, insulting, and defamatory October 12 statement about Carroll—and his actual malice in making that statement—is fully consistent with his tried-and-true playbook for responding to credible public reports that he sexually assaulted women,” the lawsuit said. [More]

So you don’t need to prove someone actually committed the crime he’s being accused of anymore?

And remember: Believe women!

The Relative Silence is Explained

The public defenders for the suspect in the mass shooting at a Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub said in a Tuesday night court filing obtained by a New York Times reporter that their client is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. [More]

Did someone say “self-loathing“?

There goes the narrative!

UPDATES

To make matters more confusing, the guy who beat him up was apparently straight.

Yeah, that’s the second gay nightclub their followers didn’t shoot up!

Hence the need to “repurpose” the narrative, per GLAAD and MSNBC, above.

We’re the Only Ones Further Endangering You Enough

When the NCPD found out that the woman seeking a concealed carry permit because she feared for her life didn’t notify the NCPD Pistol License Section of her 911 call, they promptly stopped the background investigation and suspended her pistol permit. They proceeded to confiscate her firearms, including her long guns. [More]

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Culture’ Is

America’s deadly gun culture: Over 600 mass shootings in one year [More]

Funny… when I think of the phrase “gun culture,” I think of the millions of members of the NRA, GOA, SAF, etc., that is, the most heavily armed citizen population on the planet that is also demonstrably the most peaceable.

So it’s not the guns.

The problem with those responsible for murder is they are beyond being simply uncultured.

Of course, those responsible for blaming good Americans for the predations of evil know that — well, maybe not the “authorized journalists,” who as a whole have proven ignorant, biased, and lazy, but certainly the cold and calculating minds giving them all the narrative talking points to parrot.

It’s Conclusion-Jumping Time

Walmart employee in Chesapeake, Virginia kills 6 with pistol, police say [More]

“Pistol”? Not “AR-15-style rifle”?

No matter. They want them all.

And naturally, “The employee has not been identified as police say they have yet to contact his next of kin.”

It’s not like he’s the victim here, and how many hours has it been? My immediate question is what kind of internet trail did he leave, and is it being brushed over as we speak?

We still don’t know much about the Colorado Springs moron, either, except they couldn’t get him on a bomb threat rap, some desperately want to establish a MAGA connection, and the information gatekeepers evidently don’t want anything that might conflict with that insinuation coming to the fore.

UPDATES

He wasn’t a white supremacist.

We’re the Only Ones Scavenging Enough

A former and retired South Carolina Highway Patrol trooper was arrested for stealing and selling property from a crash, according to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. [More]

I can’t find many details on this other than the moron risked it all for basically nothing, which is a pretty good indicator of the judgment he displayed while still on the force.

As Good a Reason to Disarm Us as Any

“But when you have a total lunatic who might as well be speaking to pink elephants under the tree that he’s living under, they are telling us this is the fault of the GOP. Hand over your guns in your freedom because of this maniac — I don’t think so,” he said. [More]

Questions “authorities” know the answers to but have so far refused to reveal that would go a long way toward dispelling “rightwing conspiracy theories”:

  • Did Paul Pelosi open the door for police?
  • Did he then go back inside toward the assailant instead of outside to safety?
  • What was he wearing?
  • What was his attacker wearing?
  • Why was this not revealed before the midterms? Why has it still not been disclosed? When will it be? Ever?

Gentlemen’s Agreement

Before she knew it, the gentleman in the black shirt, black backwards hat (as seen in the video), basically football tackles my mom and my mom just remembers flying and that’s it,” Nicole said. [More]

Why, when telling reporters about violent and cowardly sociopathic scumbags, do so many people call them gentlemen?

As to why the victims were defenseless, well, maybe they backed the wrong “Only One.”

What I’m actually most curious about: Did old groomer “Sir Elton” trot out more cub scout strippers?

We’re the Only Ones Pushy Enough

…Police said 20-year-old Rashaun Smith was shot in the stomach at the Walmart on Brodhead Road earlier this month. Vinyard rushed to the side of Smith to help him. Once paramedics arrived, Sansone said Vinyard stepped away to allow them to do their job. Sansone said an off-duty officer violently pushed Vinyard to the ground, causing him to slam his head on the pavement. He was rushed to a hospital, where he later died. [More]

And are you ready for a big surprise?

The officer’s name has not been released…

The ‘H’ Word

“It’s not a hate crime to assault somebody and in the course of it use the word ‘haole,’” court-appointed attorney Lynn Panagakos said during her opening statement. [More]

I wouldn’t count on extrapolating that to include other applications…

And speaking of Hawaii, with a new Bruen-defying “sensitive places” bill making the rounds there, I wouldn’t count on infringed recognition of the right to bear arms anytime soon…
