The Blind Men and the Elephant

I’ve talked before about Academia.edu and its repository of gun “studies,” primarily to marvel that research papers would cite someone who never let school get in the way of his education. Anyway, I get daily email update notifications of uploaded papers, and they just did one from 2020 titled “Evaluating the Impact of Gun Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE) Initiative within the City of Rochester.”

Me, my eyes glaze over with eggheadspeak and charts (sorry, Dr. Lott, the ADD kicks in and I go into daydream mode), so I always skip to the conclusion, where we find, totally unsurprisingly (and I could have saved this guy a lot of work and just told him) “call-in meetings, custom notification, and GIVE orientation meetings” don’t address the real problem of Democrat collectivist policies creating a crime culture petri dish.

He admits as much, though tries to save face and convince his evaluators he’s still a team player:

While this quasi-experiment might not have been definitive in answering the question of if the program had a particular influence on gun violence incidents based on strategies and activities implemented, the evidence still leads to possible benefits of the GIVE initiative within the city of Rochester.

Homicides dropping from 73 to 57 in one year do not a trend make, and unless and until the whole elephant in the room is addressed, claiming credit for fluctuations is a game played by fools and frauds.

We’re the Only Ones Cannibalized Enough

Thousands of guns sent off by North Texas local law enforcement agencies to be destroyed were first stripped of parts that were then sold online by a private company. [More]

I’m waiting for the same folks who invented the terms “ghost guns” and “zombie guns” to seize on “Frankenstein guns.”

Oh, wait– they already have.

We’re the Only Ones Camera Shy Enough

ATF has not released footage from Body Worn Cameras (BWC) the agents are required to use… The second video shows agents approaching the front door of the home where one officer applies what appears to be tape to obscure the doorbell camera on Malinowski’s home. [More]

A Jeff Cooper quote comes to mind:

I have been criticized by referring to our federal masked men as “ninja” … Let us reflect upon the fact that a man who covers his face shows reason to be ashamed of what he is doing. A man who takes it upon himself to shed blood while concealing his identity is a revolting perversion of the warrior ethic. It has long been my conviction that a masked man with a gun is a target. I see no reason to change that view.

We’re the Only Ones Irrefutable Enough

The city sent the woman photographic evidence for the speeding ticket – her defunct car, sitting on a tow truck, was still charged for an infraction when she wasn’t behind the wheel… Gibson contested the fine at the East Cleveland Police Department, but she said officials told her to refute the fine with the private company that operates the cameras. [More]

By all means.

As long as we’re making lists, I want to know who all the economic fascist collaborators profiting from gulag contracting are.

We’re the Only Ones Remorseful Enough

A former Vermont trooper accused of stealing a $14,000 Rolex watch and other valuable items from the evidence locker will avoid prison under a plea deal reached Friday. “Your honor, words cannot describe the regret and remorse I feel in my heart,” Giancarlo DiGenova told a judge in court Friday. [More]

Regrets that he got caught, POS scumbag…

The nerve of these @$$holes… and the incompetence of those administering the evidence rooms.

It’s not just that they wouldn’t offer you and me such a deal — they wouldn’t have to.

We’re the Only Ones Inappropriate Enough

A police officer in Wisconsin has been arrested on a felony sexual assault charge for his alleged inappropriate conduct toward a female student while working as a School Resource Officer (SRO). [More]

What a trust-betraying, self-serving weakling.

But he was allowed to have a gun there, and destroy your life if you had one.

We’re the Only Ones Politicking Enough

Former Capitol Police officer warns that ‘nothing is preventing’ another Jan. 6 [More]

Yep, Republicans are traitors and need Democrat Harry to disarm, them, vote in a pathway to citizenship, and continue the genocide of the preborn.

Funny, this is labeled as “news,” not an in-kind contribution political ad…

We’re the Only Ones Misidentifying Enough

Arizona woman claims wild case of mistaken identity put her in federal prison [More]

They don’t have fingerprints?

UPDATE

Arizona woman falsely arrested won’t have to go to court to prove her identity – Federal judge dismissed her case following an ABC15 Investigation [More]

And now she sues the taxpayers.

We’re the Only Ones Processing Enough

Sometimes shining bright lights and banging pots and pans work.

Intolerable, that it took communicated outrage. And that the “concession” still isn’t good enough. And that “permits” are a thing.

We’re the Only Ones Qualified Enough

Breaux Bridge Police Chief Albert “Buz” LeBlanc was hospitalized after accidentally shooting himself in the leg this morning. He sustained the injury during his annual qualification at the St. Martin Parish firing range in St. Martinville, authorities said. [More]

Here’s a dilemma for the judges: Should his rank give him an edge over the SCDC training officer for this year’s Lee Paige Award? Or will emerging new contestants moot the point?

We’re the Only Ones Hyperlinking Enough

This time, the cops brought Jackson and his bike home and informed Glenn that he was breaking the law by letting Jackson roam about unsupervised. Naturally, Glenn wanted to know which law he had violated. He was told to “Google it.” [More]

My entire childhood was illegal.

And not just here.

We’re the Only Ones Bad Apple Dealing Enough

DC police dealt thousands of guns; ATF demands answers after concerning number found at crime scenes … So many guns recovered at crime scenes, in such a brief period, that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives placed D.C. police into a program designed to give extra scrutiny to dealers with higher levels of so-called crime guns. [More]

Oops…

So when are the grabbers gonna sue them?

We’re the Only Ones Lucky Enough

F/Lt Mike Shaw stated “Here is another example of a CPL holder not being able to handle their emotions because traffic was slowed due to a crash. This suspect lost their cool, grabbed an accessible hand gun and put others at risk. We are lucky he didn’t pull the trigger.” [More]

“Another”! It’s Dodge City out there! Despite the suspect not having been tried yet while the MSP spokesflack essentially pronounces him guilty.

Because only the “Only Ones” can be trusted with guns, right, Lt. Mike?

We’re the Only Ones Cut Back Enough

Baltimore is now facing apocalyptic levels of policing shortages. Last week, THREE police officers patrolled a whole district of 61,000 residents. [More]

So what better way to divert attention from total incompetence than to gaslight everyone with a meme that those opposed to DEI “don’t have the courage to say the ‘N’ word“… ?

Now, when the city descends further into hell, anyone pointing that out can be condemned as racist.

Proper Use of the Term ‘Assault Weapons’

Hanley detailed Soto’s violent spree that included stabbing and running over a mail carrier with a car, breaking into multiple homes and attacking three juveniles with a bat. [More]

And it took men threatening him with guns to get him to get the lunatic to act in rational self-interest and stop? I wonder if Rockford being mostly Democrat had anything to do with those men being “Only Ones” instead of neighbors…

[Via Jess]

Not the Only One?

“I said [at the press conference] if you shoot accurately, and you kill the guy, you save taxpayers money. And I also said that if somebody gets killed during a home invasion, the odds of them re-offending are zero. And we like those odds, which we do,” he told Fox News Digital. [More]

Still, even if you live in Santa Rosa County, the sheriff’s public sentiments notwithstanding, remember one thing when his deputies respond.
