Can We All Get Along?

[T]he uncivilized antics and incendiary rhetoric coming from the Karmelo Anthony side are jaw-dropping (if not completely predictable). [More]

That is’s predictable should give all pause, but of course won’t. I wonder how many “mostly peaceful” urban fires are going to start if a guilty verdict is returned.

On the Lighter Side

Gun Shaped Lighter Legislation Social

Cuyahoga County Councilman proposes ‘Tamir Rice Act’ to ban sale of gun-shaped lighters [More]

Tell us you don’t have a clue but feel compelled to posture for publicity without telling us you don’t have a clue but feel compelled to posture for publicity, Houser.

What kind of moron would you have to be to vote for this grandstanding charlatan and expect solutions? Hell, he’s probably destined for higher things.

How to Win Friends and Influence People

Because we’ve seen firsthand how well it works for them.

Jerry Reinsdorf, of course, plays both sides of the field. And Justin Ishbia is a flat-out rope-selling capitalist.

Keep digging.

Flip or Flop

But Lee’s attempt did hit 50 votes, with Collins flipping her vote to support the original version of the SAVE America Act. [More]

In other words, because Democrats will vote for anything, the Nazi’s got her back against the wall and she’s hoping this symbolic gesture for something she knows isn’t going to pass will mollify enough Republicans who haven’t seen much point in casting for her.

What a political whore.

Don’t Think of It as ‘Cutting’ in Line, Think of It as Sensitivity Training

6 people hurt in stabbings at Penn Station, authorities say [More]

And, of course, “Under New York Penal Law § 265.01-e, public transportation infrastructure — including train stations, subway stations, rail cars, buses, and bus terminals — is classified as a sensitive location. The state’s official concealed carry FAQ confirms that licensed carry holders generally may not bring a firearm into a sensitive location…”

Knives and stabbings aren’t allowed either, so there’s that.

We’re the Only Ones Unmarried Enough

Brendan Banfield, a former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) law enforcement officer, claimed he shot Joseph Ryan after he came across Ryan attacking his wife on the morning of 24 February 2023. But prosecutors said Brendan Banfield and au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães set Ryan up in a scheme to kill Christine Banfield, a pediatric intensive care nurse. [More]

“Former”?

So a LEOSA beneficiary…?

The jury didn’t factor in that the poor guy is a widower?

Hey, any tips for The Guardian…?

We’re the Only Ones Credited Enough

24-year-old Jeffrey Ziegler is accused of committing the crimes beginning the day after the victim died on February 28, 2024. Between February 29, 2024 and March 12, 2024, numerous unauthorized charges were made on the deceased man’s credit cards totaling $10,362.02. [More]

Jenny has a question for him.

A Shared Goal

A grand jury indicted the founder of a Kansas City non-profit three years after a deadly shooting. The grand jury found probable cause to upgrade charges against Na’im Al-Amin… the founder of SWAGG INC. The nonprofit worked to prevent re-incarceration. [More]

Me too.

Unless they can prove they can be trusted with a gun I don’t want to let ’em out in the first place.

Confession: It took me a couple reads to realize his nonprofit wasn’t working to prevent reincarnation, and I thought he may have been doing a field test.

The Answer May Also Be ‘Yes’

Do Trans People Have “Stand Your Ground” Rights? Wyoming’s Answer May Be “No.” [More]

“May be” or “is”?

That’s what we have trials for.

Why do I have the feeling we’re not getting the whole story here?

Maybe because phrases like “people disproportionately targeted for harassment and violence” misdirect on who’s doing the abuse, something the gun prohibitionists don’t seem to want to point out.

Peeing in the Pool

Yeah, they sure did the job in Afghanistan!

He actually thinks he knows what he’s talking about.

Let’s see… 40M gun owners, say just 3% of them went active, and since the Three Percent is not an identifiable organization, the covert ops aimed at disrupting and taking out key players would present no readily identifiable targets. So now they’re going to send swarms into neighborhoods? The whole country would be dragged into it, and face it, what kind of treasonous coward would not fight a monstrous regime making war on its citizenry?

I could go on, but why? The guy’s an idiot with delusions of being an influencer.

This is What We’re Up Against

The Guardian says that further censorship of U.S. social media companies is needed to control dissent in Europe [More]

Funny– going to The Guardian story from there and this pops up:

Guardian

If I’m getting these it means I’m not paying my fair share.

You don’t hate the DSM enough.

Bloody f_n’ hypocrite wankers.

Lalala they can’t HEAR you
