We’re the Only Ones Securing the Blessings of Liberty One Menacing Extortion Demand at a Time Enough

“You’ve been watching too many shows and reading too many books,” the agents respond. “I’m sure we’ll find you again someday.” [More]

What are “the agents” names? That bullying arrogance needs names and faces attached to it.

Why did he talk to them at all? Any denial that can be proven false is a felony and a lifetime gun ban. They’re obviously trying to entrap him and from what I’m hearing, they may have unless he surreptitiously gets rid of it.

And why does the tab in the USA Today article read “Conspiracy theories abound…” ? What “conspiracy theories” does the “real reporter” document? Or is this just more of what we’ve some to expect from Gannett Publications…?

Funny, how the first heinous act of supprerssor abuse they could come up with to show how they’re too dangerous to trust the public with was:

A former Los Angeles Police Department officer armed with a Glock pistol and AR-15, both affixed with silencers, shot and killed four people in February 2013.

And in any case, they did not establish how the suppressor on the gun made it any more deadly or allowed the perps to get away with it, or had any more effect on what happened than the color shirt the killers wore. Hey, when you have a herd to spook, they’re not apt to sense a correlation/causation logical fallacy.

We’re the Only Ones Bending Knees Enough

Supreme Court sides with woman forced to her knees by police when she was 83 [More]

Looks like they don’t get qualified immunity for this one, but what I’m not clear on is does the department pay or the officers themselves, or all? And will she still be alive to collect by the time this settles?

We’re the Only Ones Rocket Surgeons Enough

A rocket launcher was recovered by Santa Clara County Sheriff’s deputies during a gun buyback event in San Jose… [More]

Did they get it from Charlie Beck?

Or Seattle PD?

Hey, if you see a con that works, use it. There’s a reason street hustlers still take in the marks with Three-Card Monte.

And who better to pull off a scam than the Santa Clara County Sheriff & Co…?

We’re the Only Ones Command Present Enough

The officer cussing at me would come off as someone with authority (and a weapon) feeling entitled to address me however they chose. It would also be a reminder of the weapon. It would be both hostile and demeaning. The schoolyard bully should not be the model for officers’ behavior. [More]

At least you can take on a schoolyard bully, even in front of others, and gain a newfound measure of stature with your peers if you prevail. Take on a cop and you’re taking on the power of the state.

A River in Egypt

JAMES WAS ARRESTED IN JANUARY 2022 FOR THREE MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT CHARGES. THE VICTIM’S BELIEVED TO BE HIS PARENTS AND A SIBLING. THE FAMILY STATED THAT JAMES DOES NOT BELONG IN JAIL. [More]

That’s one hell of a tightrope to walk, weighing familial love and guilt against denial, justifiably fearing police overreactions, and ensuring due process-respecting interventions.

There oughta be a law.

We’re the Only Ones Guilty as Hell Enough

By signing the plea agreement, Van Aelstyn admitted he “knowingly, corruptly, and illegally” retained the guns, his plea deal states. Van Aelstyn faces a maximum of one year and a day in prison… [More]

I wonder what Wayne Fincher would have thought of that sentence…

UNLV Shootings Prove It’s Time for Gun Law Changes

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James offered a harsh criticism of gun laws in the United States in the wake of the deadly shooting at a college in Las Vegas… [More]

I agree. If only they were changed to where posession couldn’t be denied:

PROHIBITED CONDUCT… N. Without prior written authorization from the President or his/her designee, possessing, storing, controlling, or using a functioning or nonfunctioning firearm…

Say what you will, but when it comes to basketball players and crime, they do have more experience than most.

New Mexico Gun ‘Buyback’ an Exercise in Contradictions

But “Come on down, and you’re on your own” is what the Farmington Police Department, New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence, and the “real reporters” at The Journal consider “gun safety,” and that’s what they’re urging everyone to take part in? And if someone gets hurt or worse due to this deliberately indifferent incentivized ignorance, have they run the chief’s admission by their respective legal departments to consider against the familiar civil complaint words “knew or should have known”? [More]

I wonder if the city attorney is willing to expose Farmington to the unsafe gun handling liability the chief just confessed to the media, along with all the other questionable legal practices ? Why not ask?
