Celebrate Good Times, Come On

At least one person was killed and multiple people, including young children and teens, were wounded in a shooting near Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri, at the conclusion of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade Wednesday, officials said. [More]

It wasn’t those “psychopaths [with an] an underlying, biologically transmitted proclivity with roots deep in their evolutionary history” again, was it?

Kinda like what David Chipman would have brought to ATF…

Man, when even Chi-Town Democrats get it…

Feeding the Destroyers

In all, cops pinned two carjackings and six gunpoint robberies or attempted robberies on Navas when he was finally nabbed while allegedly shoplifting at a Macy’s department store in Yonkers on Dec. 17 — all pulled off within the previous five months, the sources said… “Nasty as they come,” one law enforcement source said of Navas, who was living in a taxpayer-funded city shelter after arriving in New York City last year.
