I Rest My Case

Young was charged with driving with a suspended license, felon in possession of a firearm, two counts of grand theft of a firearm, fleeing police, resisting an officer and a probation violation. Maloy was charged with possession of a controlled substance, resisting an officer and felon in possession of a firearm. He also had three warrants for his arrest out of Hillsborough and Lee counties. [More]

Tell me that doesn’t make the case for disarming you and me!

We’re the Only Ones Premium Enough

The Minneapolis Police Department’s “buyback” program allows organizations, sports teams or neighborhoods to buy extra overtime police patrols. But the program has been criticized as inequitable and further stretching the department’s resources at a time when some less wealthy neighborhoods say police are totally unresponsive. [More]

So will the 911 dispatcher tell callers their plan doesn’t cover that because the extra bodies are servicing rich white Democrats?

Or just let them be surprised…?

Everybody in the Whole Cell Block Was Dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock

Twenty-eight female prisoners at an Indiana jail claim in two federal lawsuits that they were subjected to a “night of terror” after they were attacked and sexually assaulted by male inmates who had allegedly bought a key to the women’s wing from one of the jailers for $1,000. [More]

Just in case there are any questions about what to expect when the government is in total control…

NIMBY

San Pedro shooting: Suspects sought after 2 killed, 6 injured by gunfire at Peck Park- “Something like this happening in my backyard, I’m five minutes away from this park, is shocking,” said one community member. [More]

I’ll bet Sharon Tate thought she lived in a pretty safe neighborhood, too.

Besides, who would expect violence at an event attempting to broker peace between rival gangs?

Flight of Fantasy

Dallas airport shooting: DPD releases police bodycam of suspect who was shot [Watch]

I know we’re supposed to have a justice system with due process and all, but is it really wrong to fantasize about turning her over to the people forced to miss their flights?

That Feminine Touch

Child rapist and murderer lauded as ‘feminist’ and ‘advocate’ for LGBTQ Rights – Trimble has been recently celebrated in left-wing media as “a transgender woman, feminist, and activist.” [More]

And a real role model for girls everywhere! Hey, any chance of a furlough for library story hours?

What kind of hater would be against that?

#PamelaScott

“I told her we prefer ‘gun enthusiast,’” Nagel said. “She said she prefers ‘gun nuts,’ and she works for the ATF?”

Scott found nothing in the shop’s books other than a few minor clerical errors. There were no missing firearms or other significant problems.

“She said she was going to put us in for revocation, and that it may change as it goes up the chain, but that was her recommendation,” Nagel said. [More]

She sounds like a hook-baiter.

Tyranny enforcers haven’t learned a thing since King George “sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people.” I wonder if Republicans don’t blow it in November if House Oversight will subpoena her.

There Oughta Be a Law

Dallas airport accused shooter has lengthy criminal record, claimed to be Chris Brown’s wife, ‘God’s prophet’ – Portia Odufuwa, Dallas Love Field Airport shooting suspect, repeatedly deemed unfit to stand trial [More]

What’s crazy and criminal is opening the cage and letting them out when they’re still known to be dangerous.

Of course, wanting to be married to Chris Brown is a pretty good sign, too…

The Wrong Question

Is our justice system still capable of deterring killers? [More]

It never was.

What deters us from killing has always come from within. What deters killers is the same thing that deters all predators.

Is our justice system still capable of dealing with killers?

Increasingly the system results in anything but justice, and no, it’s up to the individual to have the means, the judgment, the training, the will, and the presence of mind afterward to not do or say anything to trigger the ever-dangerous state to turn on him.

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

Lawyer Jim Trusty, former chief of the DOJ’s Organized Crime Section, said reports that the investigation is coming to an end suggests that Hunter will be hit with minor tax charges and for making false statements when purchasing a handgun in 2018.  [More]

Purchasing two handguns, actually, if anyone in authority is interested in, you know, investigating. And for each instance:

The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, ushered into law by then-Sen. Joe Biden, at the time chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made Form 4473 a key part of background checks for gun purchases mandated by the law.

Lying on the form is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. For being a user of unlawful drugs in possession of a firearm, the punishment is up to five years.

I’ll have to ask Stephen Stamboulieh if Hunter pleads out what that will do to my ATF complaint.
