Notes from the Resistance
When the deputy got out, police claim the suspects tried to grab his weapon, which was secured in his holster. After a brief struggle, the two ended up with the deputy’s gun and cellphone. The suspects then drove off in the deputy’s car, a 2011 Chevy Cruz. [More]
They can’t even protect themselves yet we’re supposed to believe they can protect us?

“We must not allow citizens to become judge, jury and executor,” the group, which consisted of Dr. Candice Matthews (Texas Coalition of Black Democrats/Rainbow/PUSH Coalition/New Black Panther Nation), Quanell X (New Black Panther Nation), family members of the deceased and other civil rights organizations, said in a statement. [More]
Or threateners of doing just that unless you submit to their demands…
And “executor…”? So they don’t want the shooter to manage the robber’s estate?

During a traffic stop in Florida, deputies caught Kevin Deane Jones, 50, with a plastic water gun full of the highly toxic substance ricin while on his way to Texas, where his ex-wife lived in December 2021, court documents show. After he was read his Miranda rights, he admitted to making the ricin as part of a murder plot to kill his ex, according to investigators. [More]
Ol’ Kevin doesn’t sound like the brightest bulb. What must his “current fiancee” be like?
Hey, maybe they can blame this on Mike!

Chicago Police wanted murder charges to be filed after a felon illegally carrying a gun shot a man repeatedly, killing him. Not only did Juan Ferba, 26, fire at least 14 rounds, striking Kristopher Willett a number of times — including three times in the head — but Ferba also hit a woman on a CTA bus with an errant round. However, Cook County’s Soros-funded State’s Attorney Kim Foxx looked at the case and pronounced it…self-defense. [More]
And he’s out.
If only they would mandate more “commonsense gun safety laws” for you and me…

A shooting at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event left eight people wounded on Monday evening in Fort Pierce, Florida, according to the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office. The shooting broke out around 5:20 p.m. near Ilous Ellis Park following a “disagreement of some sort” between two groups of people, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said. [More]
It’s almost like we should be using the word “systemic” or something…

A woman who exchanged gunfire with police on Friday, January 13, in downtown St. Louis, was released from custody. She was arrested after allegedly saying she was going to shoot up the social security office, then shooting at officers from inside her van. [More]

And it’s working as expected!

At first, he thought it was his uncle, but when he looked out the window, he saw a strange man coming towards his house. The teen who grew up hunting and taking safety training courses went right for his mother’s 9mm gun. [More]
Assuming the story happened as retold, what could the outcome have been had she followed the advice of all the “experts” — or obeyed “the law” where so mandated — and kept it locked up and separated from its ammunition?
UPDATE
And leave it to CNN to lead the charge.

Police said the toddler in Beech Grove was see. holding a loaded gun in an apartment hallway. Neighbors said the toddler was waving it around, even pulling the trigger. [Watch]
What a moron. That the child is in the hallway alone is neglect enough.
And guess who this other moron now works with…?

I’ve had my own questions about the shoot, but there’s one indisputable truth you just can’t get around: If you don’t want someone to shoot you in self-defense, don’t try to rob them at gunpoint, fake or otherwise.

The $8 million settlement between Mesa and Laney Sweet for the death of her husband has finally been funded, according to Sweet’s attorney. The settlement was originally reached back in November 2022, nearly seven years after former Mesa police Officer Philip “Mitch” Brailsford killed Daniel Shaver, shooting him five times in a hotel hallway in 2016. [More]
Pretty sweet, when the payment for your murder comes from your victim pool.
I guess complaining about this makes me an idiot.
Still, this raises a question for me:
In 2018, it was confirmed by the Mesa Police Department that the U.S. Department of Justice had opened a civil rights investigation into Brailsford, subpoenaing all documentation pertaining to the shooting. At this time, no information surrounding the investigation has been released, nor has the city provided an update into the matter.
Do you think that would be the case if Shaver had not been… do I dare say it?
