Notes from the Resistance
The Mall of America shooting suspects showed ‘a complete lack of respect for human life,’ the Bloomington police chief said [More]
Not to mention a complete lack of respect for code of conduct rules:
“Guns are banned on these premises.”
So, curiously, are “Bulletproof vests or simulated bulletproof vests.”
I wonder why their patrons might need those…
So much for “Always new.” And that makes me wonder at what point “knew or should have known” might be argued in a civil lawsuit…

Curious, how their instinct is to defend themselves. It’s almost like you could use that against them during their attack — if you were only “allowed” to…

And just when I thought I couldn’t have any less respect for the parents:
Mr Greenberg fought back against critics via Twitter on Wednesday morning, arguing that the parents are being scapegoated by the “system” when the focus should instead be on easy access to military-grade assault weapons.
Yeah, make it about disarming the rest of us. @$$holes.
Should the case against the Crumbley parents be allowed to proceed, it would set a dangerous precedent. [More]
What a nightmare. And the legal issues are the least of it.
If it were your child, would you rather an armed teacher had been able to stop him instead of having to live with this?

Skill and will… [More]
That and ignoring mall policy.
Report Finds Nearly 400 Officers Were at Elementary as Uvalde Police Waited to Engage Lone Gunman [More]
I bet when it’s that crowded it can get pretty tough finding a place to hide behind.

The sheriff asked for a risk protection order, which would have prohibited Broome from having a gun for at least a year … “I need to underscore that we have no evidence that he was going to shoot up the school. None,” Judd told FOX 13. “But we have no evidence that he wasn’t.” [More]
No, it wouldn’t have. And that’s a hell of a slippery slope, Grady.
Thing is, he’s right to have his spider-sense tingling on this. But if he can deny due process to this suspect that sets a pretty low bar for all others.

Controversial Punisher logo visible on phone of officer who responded to Uvalde shooting [More]
I knew there was a real scandal in here someplace.
And I can think of a more appropriate home screen.

Cops responding to the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting ran away from gunshots while 19 children and two teachers were left to die in their classrooms… [More]
I guess turning your back on the armed crazy and skedaddling to save your own precious hindquarters are time-honored tactics:
On the bright side, these are the guys they’ll send to confiscate the “20 million AR-15 style rifles.”
UPDATE
Ann Barnhardt calls it like she sees it.

While most experts say comprehensive gun control is still the best solution to mass shootings… [More]
Well, that right there tells me I can’t trust a thing that follows. That and blocking access to what AoL considers “extreme,” blaming “racism” i.e. traditional American culture, and adding in a dash of “equity” collectivism…
Besides, when they emphasize “young men and boys,” how are we supposed to define either?
I don’t suppose beating unforgiving woke culture into young skulls from an early age perverts minds and instills an obsession for exacting revenge against institutions perceived as sources of torment…?
And how are you going to “combat” $h!+ when you don’t even mention the only deterrent proven to stop manufactured monsters in their tracks except to say we need to prohibit that?

Leaked ‘Uber files’ show how company capitalized on violence against drivers [More]
So that explains their driver/passenger disarmament policy.
And no, it makes no sense trying to give yourself a Lyft instead.
Arming school personnel is a serious decision that is left up entirely to each school. [More]
So why couldn’t you say the same about cities, and do away with preemption?
Besides, this is misdirection: The true issue is that of a free citizen’s unalienable right to arm himself. Since when are local bureaucrats legitimately qualified and authorized to dictate that?
And why did this come in via email, necessitating posting on my placeholder site, instead of being published in “News Releases“?
Copenhagen shooting: Gunman charged in court with murder [More]
So they know who he is?
Then how come they only refer to him throughout as “the suspect” at the same time they’re telling us this was not terror-related?
And no provisions for defensive carry that I can see…
Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurring opinion noted “sensitive places“ like schools and government buildings could have gun bans. [More]
Jeez, and AOC and Charlie think he lied to them…

I didn’t figure they had much stomach for conflict the way they make it so hard to find out who they are. You’d think you wouldn’t have to scroll down for the slideshow.
Where Texas teachers carry guns, a community feels more secure [More]
They don’t just FEEL secure.

“You don’t get to pretend that you care about public safety if you’re a governor who allows six major mass shootings to happen on your watch while actively going out of your way to make it easier for criminals to carry guns.” [More]
What a lying @$$hole.
These idiots, too.

“If there’s kids in there, we need to go in”: Officers in Uvalde were ready with guns, shields and tools — but not clear orders [More]
Breach the door? Stop the threat? Save the children?
What would the right magic incantation have been?
I see the transcripts have been reviewed. Is anybody doing the same with bodycams?

The executive order addresses the training of law enforcement… [More]
As long as we’re waxing on about valuing the Constitution, providing for the security of a free State, and the Second Amendment and all, how about the militia? Who will have access to school “annual risk and vulnerability assessments”? What due process protections will keep BTAM from morphing into the Department of PreCrime? And I trust there will be appropriate penalties to keep Rave from being used by triggered leftist indoctrinators to report “microaggressions”?
And forgive me if every time I see government promising to deliver something “at no cost” I check to make sure my wallet’s still there. The school or district may not be charged, but the people paying for them certainly will be.
That none of these were raised in this fawning “report” says much.
Self-described ‘antiracism educator’ Tim Wise recently wrote an opinion piece for Politico about the May shooting in Buffalo, New York. In the article, he blames the incident on the purported lack of anti-racism education, a situation for which he blames conservatives. [More]
So they need more?
As opposed to years of bullying brainwashing causing the weaker links to snap and lash out in revenge at the people and places they see as sources of torment?
“Wise,” huh? What’s the opposite of an aptronym?
