Excuse Me While I Go on a Rant

Georgia man finds squatters in his home, calls police, gets arrested for home invasion [More]

Sounds like a case for justifiable use of force to me. The “Only Ones” who would stop it are the ones whose sole purpose is “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

Without that there is no consent of the governed.

I’m particularity sensitive to the state favoring parasites because this happens to coincide with my receiving a letter from the county mandating a huge increase in my property taxes. So allow me to segue into something tangentially related.

For a supposedly Republican state, all my reps from City Council on up sure are quiet about this. I went looking for organized tax protesters and the closest thing I could find was an Ohio Tea Party Facebook group with fewer followers than I have that’s totally focused on Donald Trump memes.

The one state senator I did find offering a tepid way to recalculate reappraisals and focused on farms was sabotaged by Republican “leadership.” I’m thinking it was probably all noise anyway, because I see the same “conservative” co-sponsored SENATE BILL 54, to “Establish the New African Immigrants Grant and Gift Fund.”

The GOP is tone deaf. And suicidal.

Running Toward the Danger

Not exactly Scot Peterson or a Hero of Uvalde, is he?

All I can say about the perp is “rigorous.”

Hey, that’s not going to get me in trouble with Ed, is it?

And how come we can’t get bodycam footage for Craig Deleeuw Robertson?

We’re the Only Ones Unmarked Enough

From Denver, another tragic story about cops shooting and killing someone holding a “weapon” that turned out to actually be a harmless object. In this case, an officer with the Denver Police Department (DPD) shot and killed a man armed with a marker. The officer (whose name has not been released) said she believed that 36-year-old Brandon Cole had been holding a knife when she shot him on the evening of August 5. [More]

Unmarked, unnamed, unaccountable…

We’re the Only Ones Manifest Enough

Unfortunately, they’re the only ones who have seen it. Local and federal authorities with access to the manifesto have refused to make its contents public. [More]

Ha! They used “Only Ones.”

I can’t offer more than this and can’t force anyone to pay attention to it.

UPDATE

I’ll give it another shot.

Oakland PD Airhorn Advice is an Admission of Gun Control Failure

Oakland officials not only don’t have a plan to fix anything but what they’re doing can only make things worse. [More]

What we have here are useful idiots who don’t have a clue being manipulated by power interests who know exactly what they’re doing.

We’re the Only Ones Asking Enough

Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office published a post on Twitter and Facebook stating Florida’s new permit-less concealed carry law “requires” law enforcement to question people who are carrying concealed firearms & weapons to verify their eligibility. The law makes no such requirement, and JSO was directly challenged regarding this unconscionable lie. JSO subsequently revised the post text to read that law enforcement “may” ask questions regarding one’s eligibility. [More]

“Only Ones” ignorant of the law about citizens rights? Where have we ever seen that before?

To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

But a main driver is the growing availability of guns, said Jill Harkavy-Friedman, senior vice president of research at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. [More]

Well, then, we know who we have to disarm first.

Curious, no one ever wants to talk about “gun-free” Japan…

We’re the Only Ones Arming Enough

Miami Police Department bought guns off the street for Ukraine [More]

And what did they do with them?

Turns out the “buyback” was from last year.

The “Only Ones” claimed “Success!”

Kevin Sona and Lee Williams called “BS!”

I imagine they’ve got all the ITAR “t’s” crossed and “i’s” dotted…?

I don’t suppose sending guns to citizens protecting OUR border from foreign invaders is on anybody’s to-do list…?
