We’re the Only Ones Fleeing Enough

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.”

We’re the Only Ones Distant Enough

A new state law in Arizona will soon make it illegal for people to film a police officer from 8 feet or closer without the officer’s permission … As part of the law, an officer can also stop someone from filming on private property, even if the person has the owner’s consent. [More]

See, that to me is more objectionable than the eight-foot permission rule, which I’m wondering why that wouldn’t apply to all people, not just “Only Ones.”

My rationale here is I don’t want someone I don’t know getting up into my personal space and can recall a time I stuck a stiff arm out with an extended hand signaling “Stop,” and warned a deranged-looking transient to back up. If he’d kept approaching I intended to treat that as a physical attack and respond accordingly.

On the other hand, if I’m in the driver’s seat and one of Canton PD’s attack dogs is screaming through the window like a mouth-foaming maniac at me, that phone is going to be on “Record.” I guess a lot of it depends on circumstances, which is why one-size-fits-all is not a solution.

A Flyover State

Yeah, I see all kinds of vulnerabilities here, but you gotta admit this is cool. [Watch]

And yeah, I get a Pinkley vibe envisioning a real boarding.

Let’s hope they aren’t reserved for the military and the “Only Ones.”

If you want to bring the costs down and make these things pay for themselves beyond limited and expensive tactical applications, start thinking of parallels to the skateboarding market with extreme competitions and the like.

Ask the Experts!

Why did Independence Day event at Dogwood Dell go on as planned? Stoney, experts weigh in [More]

You incompetents got lucky when a citizen had to alert you to a situation ultimately created by government design in the first place.

UPDATE

The Richmond Police Department has refused to share crucial evidence to verify its claim that a mass shooting was planned on Independence Day. The arrests made in connection to the reported plot have turned into an international incident. [More]

I think it would be hysterical if the anonymous “hero snitch” turned out to be an “Only One” who wanted to fast-track his way around a warrant.

An Open Dialog

Some Shortcomings of Open Carry [More]

He makes some good points.

So do some of his critics. The angry and rude hostility that comes out in some of the responses though, when people believe they are anonymous and therefore not accountable, makes me wonder how many behave like that face-to-face.

For the record: I have written to Mike DeWine and the two governors before him in my state, Ohio, to get the “Only Ones” trained to stop threatening and assaulting open carriers. But I don’t personally open carry for the same reason I won’t rack a shotgun slide to “scare away” an intruder.

We’re the Only Ones Shaking a Leg Enough

Knox County deputy accidentally shoots partner during dog attack [More]

So would it be wrong to assume that by missing the dog and having it later taken away by animal control that maybe it wasn’t all that serious about attacking? I guess I’m wondering if there are any bite marks in addition to the gunshot wound…

We’re the Only Ones Unqualified Enough

A U.S. appeals court sided with the Kansas district court in denying Officer Rapp qualified immunity in Finch’s death The court said a reasonable jury could believe Finch was unarmed and unthreatening when Rapp fired the shot that killed him. [More]

So why is he only facing a civil trial and what does that tell us about department policy and the prosecutor?

We’re the Only Ones Unresponsive Enough

New 2021 Chicago data shows 400,000 high-priority incidents where dispatchers had no police available to send – Wirepoints [More]

Oh, and I talked about giving an update.

Talk about trying to put a good face on a deformed freak. As if those numbers are statistically significant trend indicators.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.

We’re the Only Ones Convenient Enough

The #FBI Child ID app—the first mobile application created by the Bureau—provides a convenient place to electronically store photos and other vital information about your children so that it’s literally right at hand if you need it. [More]

It’s convenient and right at hand for them if they “need it,” too.

A warning about vampires and invitations comes to mind.

Tangentially related: My Android has recently started displaying a “suggestion” in settings for “On-body detection: Keep your device unlocked while it’s on you.”

They can detect where my body is! How convenient!

Crimonology 101

Interviewed by cops twice in 2019 after he threatened to ‘kill everyone’ and had 16 knives, dagger and sword confiscated – but wasn’t arrested [More]

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

So much for nobody, including the family, knowing. Which makes Uncle Paul either a liar or someone not close to the family at all trying to publicly distance himself.

And:

July 4 shooting: Social media companies a ‘big part’ of shooting, not sharing content with police, says ex-cop [More]

The guy is coming from an “Only Ones” mindset, so it figures that would be his top concern.

Even more objectionable in the long run: Doing this in all such cases removes a major source of information with context from being investigated, forcing us to rely on an official government narrative shaped by what it wants us to know and doesn’t want us to know for reasons it won’t share because they conflict with the tightening of the grip.

We’re the Only Ones Implausible Enough

“A guy can stand out there — or a girl or whoever with a rifle, an AR-15 or a handgun — and stand there on a sidewalk looking at the school,” Goodin told WDRB. “The difference is this: We can’t even stop and ask them what they’re doing because of this law.” [More]

How long did it take to come up with that scenario? And why am I getting a “kicked in the head with an iron boot” vibe?

Is it so wrong to wonder if they really just want advance warning to take up hiding positions?

Commie Police Statist Spits on Independence on Independence Day

Philadelphia shooting: Democrat mayor rips Second Amendment, says only the police should have guns – Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said the US should be more like Canada [More]

Because the “Only Ones” have proven over the years just how right he is, right?

I mean, Jim Kenney said it, I believe it, that settles it.

Just what the hell was it this subversive swore an oath to when he assumed office?

As for being like Canada, armed citizens refusing to bend to tyrants were the “only ones” who kept that from happening or we would have been.
