24 Hour Unfitness
The “altercation” began inside the gym, on or near basketball courts, and carried out into the gym’s front parking lot where it “escalated,” police said. At least two people pulled out guns and fired multiple shots, police said, citing surveillance video. Several people fled the scene, police said. [More]

The failure of firearms licensing departments to prioritise resources is having a significant impact on both participation of shooting sports and the gun trade in England and Wales. Dozens of firearms departments across the two countries are beset with significant delays and backlogs. [Watch]

Calling All Fellow ‘Seditious Conspirators’!
Multiple federal LE sources are telling me that a message was blasted to all federal LE agencies to start cataloging social media posts of known conservative influencers so they can be threat assessed. [More]
We need a bit more than that. If you know any sources who would be willing to talk to House Oversight and Senate Judiciary Republicans, lemme know and I’ll see what I can help set up.
Maybe it’s time for a FOIA request or two from some of the prominent ones? It would be revealing to get back a refusal because they don’t talk about ongoing investigations!

We’re the Only Ones Exceeding Expectations Enough
Agents actually fired their guns accidentally more often than they fired them in the field according to an audit by Treasury… [More]
Yeah, but the important thing is they went above and beyond being “willing to use deadly force, if necessary” by being willing to use it when unnecessary!

We’re the Only Ones ‘Do as I Say…’ Enough
A deputy sheriff in Calaveras County was arrested last month for allegedly being an addict in possession of a firearm… Ball has a history of alcohol and opiate abuse, investigators say, adding that he’d recently relapsed. [More]
So they knew he was an out-of-control armed junkie who by law is not allowed to have a gun? And turned him loose on the rest of us?
The sheriff is saying “investigators discovered…” about multiple rehab attempts, but the way this is carefully worded avoids the question of if they were in the dark about his condition from the outset.

Authorities are in a standoff with an armed suspect who tried to enter the FBI’s Cincinnati office [More]
It’s too early to assume anything. We’ll see if he fits any narrative-exploitable profile. If I had to bet I’d say he won’t. And if they do try to tie him in with heightened “anti-FBI rhetoric” by “conservatives,” there’s nothing being said that they don’t own.

Probing for a Vulnerability
The head of the preeminent scientific journal The Lancet’s COVID-19 origins Commission is ‘convinced’ that the virus came out of a lab and says that a real investigation is being blocked. [More]
Quick– what can we find to discredit him? Barring any easily disprovable accusations, we can always fall back on him being white, and therefore a de facto racist.
Oh, crap, he’s a Bernie supporter. Now, what do we do?
Maybe we can exploit the fact that he’s married to a woman…

Doing the Job Truthful Americans Won’t Do
A careful review of the official transcripts of its eight long hearings shows the committee repeatedly made connections that weren’t there, took events and quotes out of context, exaggerated the violence of the Capitol rioters, and omitted key exculpatory evidence otherwise absolving former President Donald Trump of guilt. While in some cases, it lied by omission, in others, it lied outright. It also made a number of unsubstantiated charges based on the secondhand accounts—hearsay testimony—of a young witness with serious credibility problems. [More]

I’d love to believe your stats, pal, I really would, but you’re going to have to be more specific than that. I also wish we were living in a society where there is no need to wonder if you’re just trolling to see who bites and spreads fake stats. Because, like I said, I’d love to believe this.
