Denver - The War on Guns

Beggars CAN Be Choosers?

Denver migrants refuse to leave encampment, send mayor list of demands [More]

Mr. Burns is never around when you really need him:

‘Our Democracy’ in Action

Denver Set to Defund Police, Firefighters to Pay for Illegal Aliens [More]

Brought to you by the same people who want your guns.

So that bit in their preamble about “ourselves and our posterity” can’t be the basis of a challenge…?

Given No Quarters

Denver pleads with property owners to rent to migrant ‘newcomers’ [More]

Hey, they need a place to stay until they can vote to take it over.

They’re appealing to a different demographic than just “residents.”

I wonder how many “property owners” voted Democrat there, and why they shouldn’t just let the politicians’ evil folly get ludicrously worse for all the world to see.

Mystery to Me

How Denver became a destination for migrants [More]

How, indeed.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

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…

The Road to Damascus

Leading critic of Denver police officers in schools now calls for officers in DPS schools [More]

So two employees got shot and this trough feeder’s response is an Emily Litella imitation?

Rocky Mountain High

Denver’s crime continues to rise in contrast to the statewide crime rate. [More]

Gee. That’s too bad.

And yes. Of course.

We’re the Only Ones Pinging Enough

However, in a screenshot from the “Find My” app actually indicated that the phone “pinged” somewhere in the vicinity of Johnson’s home and did not give a precise location. Despite this, Staab allegedly swore that the screenshot from the app “signified the phone being inside of [Johnson’s] house.” [More]

Hey, he took a staab at it.

I’d be taking a look at everything he’s previously sworn about to get a search warrant.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
