Notes from the Resistance
Personal responsibility and morality play far greater roles in promoting social peace than any government regulator recording names or bureaucratic billy club smashing heads. In American communities where citizens work, play, and pray together, peace and harmony exist without the need for some authoritarian police State breathing down everyone’s neck. [More]
It’s true. It’s not a police presence that keeps good people from victimizing others. So naturally, the authoritarian police state needs to mandate policies that ensure a critical mass of the citizenry is “wholly inadequate.”
And call those of us who aren’t haters and racists and Nazis and…

Under the new law, entire categories of crime, such as aggravated batteries, robberies, burglaries, hate crimes, aggravated DUIs, vehicular homicide, drug induced homicides, all drug offenses, including delivery of fentanyl and trafficking cases, are not eligible for detention no matter the severity of the crime or the defendant’s risk to a specific person or the community, unless the People prove by clear and convincing evidence the person has a “high likelihood of willful flight to avoid prosecution.” Additionally, in cases involving non-probationable forcible felonies, such as murder and armed robbery, judges may only detain a defendant under the new law if the prosecution proves by clear and convincing evidence the defendant “poses a real and present threat to the safety of a specific, identifiable person or persons.” [More]
Establishing Justice, insuring domestic Tranquility, providing for the common defence, promoting the general Welfare, and securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, again, I see…
Y’know, any government that fails to do the above has given up any claim of legitimacy for the consent of the governed, and whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it.
That’s probably why ruling Democrats want our guns.

That “cash, electronics and other valuables” were “left behind” suggests that the object of the break-in was to get the guns, making fair the question of who knew Bass had them and how it is that they knew. [More]
It sounds like there’s a lot more to this story than has been revealed, but even if there’s not, the in-your-face hypocrisy alone ought to disqualify this self-serving hypocrite from office. Which means L.A. Democrats will be lining up to vote for her in droves…
17-year-old shoots and kills two masked men breaking into his home [More]
Everyone who demands guns be kept locked up and separate from ammunition, and forbidden to anyone under 21, would rather the attackers had killed everyone inside, especially since that would have given them more fuel to pour on the “gun violence” fire to demand new bans.
Reports implying the home invasion was targeted don’t change the fact that even if it turns out in grand jury findings that the teenager had previous dealings with the perps, what he did in this instance was justified.

Brutal. Footage of the mass shooting in Phoenix. [Watch]
The perp’s name made the rounds.
I wonder why his picture is so scarce.

Former NFL player stabbed, bludgeoned, strangled ex-girlfriend before lighting her on fire and dumping body in a ditch: Court documents [More]
So there’s a chance they’ll think he can be trusted without a custodian in 15 years?
Hey, you gotta admit, he probably won’t be setting any more girls on fire for a while.

Rep. Karen Bass says home was burglarized; firearms stolen [More]
Yes, of course, she’s an in-your-face grabber. I submitted an AmmoLand draft elaborating on that over the weekend. There’s one ahead of it in the queue, so give ’em a few days.

As mourners gathered outside a northern West Virginia funeral home on Aug. 24, two plainclothes officers with a fugitive warrant swooped in from separate vehicles, called Owens’ name and shot him dead, spattering his 18-year-old son’s shirt with blood as horrified loved ones looked. [More]
It’s a testament to authoritarian conditioning how many comment posters with no additional information are desperately speculating about excuses that would justify this.

Sources told KGO-TV that the victim and the suspect were in an ongoing relationship. According to authorities, the young woman filed a restraining order in April against the suspect, Jose Solano Landaeta. Sources informed the news outlet that there was a history of domestic violence.v [More]
What else was there a history of?
Would it be out of line to wonder if San Carlos being a self-declared “sanctuary city” played any part? I ask because no “real news” report apparently will.

Officers sold fake police reports for cash: Prosecutor [More]
If I were in an accident, the last thing on my mind would be to set myself up for a bribery charge by making an offer to a cop I didn’t know, so my assumption is they were the ones who initiated talk of a deal.
You gotta wonder why they assumed they could get away with it. Especially with one of them being in his 50s…
You also gotta wonder about the character quality of those assuming up to lethal power over the rest of us.

Memphis shooting: Teen accused of killing 4, injuring 3 others in rampage streamed on Facebook [More]
Frankly, I’m disappointed they didn’t say “child.”
Less than a day after asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in the stabbing death of Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German, police executed a search warrant Wednesday at the home of Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles.
UPDATE
I got your “reasonable” right here, Rob.
Tucker Carlson: “Our Entire Country Will Be Memphis if We Don’t Put a Stop to This Insanity Right Now” [More]
I’m debating with myself on whether I want to write more on this or not. There are some points frequently made here that I don’t see anyone else hitting very hard on, if at all. In any case, there’s already stuff in the pipeline that comes first.

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

The Philadelphia Inquirer Iditorial Board has an about-damn-time epiphany of sorts, then wrings its hands and wails “Something must be done,” all the while clueless as to what that something needs to be.

Right. And letting proven violent criminals have unrestricted access to a convenient victim pool instead of keeping them in custodial segregation had nothing to do with it.
Neither did this.
At least they didn’t blame the knife.
