Notes from the Resistance
A police officer who visited Russo’s home to investigate allegedly reported that the dog was stiff, barely breathing, and appeared to be uncomfortable. The officer obtained a warrant and had Tipper euthanized. [More]
In Massachussetts, “Only Ones” are also “qualified” to file an ERPO petition.
Hey, take the dogs first, due process later, right?
It’s for the greater good…

Dettelbach, in the AP interview, declined to comment on the specifics of Card’s case, which an independent commission in Maine is investigating. But he said it is clear that the nation needs to make it harder for people “that everyone agrees should not have firearms, who the law says are not entitled to have firearms, to get them because it’s too easy to get them now.” [More]
It’s just that there’s this “due process” thing those who would rule us don’t want to have to follow…

Herer’s a first step in the right direction, but as long as they’ve got to be let out before they can be declared safe with certainty, expect plenty of lapses.

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.

Durbin, Duckworth Join Colleagues To Introduce Legislation To Deny Constitutional Rights to the Accused — there, I fixed it for them.
No prognosis yet on GovTrack, but with a Republican House consider this political posturing by the usual gang of rights prohibitionists in anticipation of SCOTUS enraging them in Rahimi.
Assuming the GOP doesn’t blow ’24.

So via due process-free prior restraints? Using GIGO/hallucinating AI…?
And what about where the overwhelming majority of “bad guys” get their guns?
And one of the “ambassadors” is the guy who “defied a court order to turn over lists of officers with multiple allegations of excessive force” and who, as Chi-Town’s top “Only One,” headlined a gun-grab panel with Jesse Jackson and “Snuffy” Pfleger…?
Curious, how registering their site by proxy keeps us from seeing if anyone else is behind the curtain.
You don’t need to walk on eggshells with this Tim Kennedy guy. He’s no pal.

And in Brand’s case, the public furor being incited may be more about leftist policies he opposes, like Covid “denialism” now being painted as a “right-wing signaling trope.” He’s left the reservation. It’s too dangerous to let a previously favored mass influencer do that. [More]
It’s not about self-absorbed celebrity narcissists. What they can do to anyone based on unproven allegations they can do to you and me.
The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday, Sept. 5, approved recommendations intended to promote and track the filing of gun violence restraining orders against people who pose a danger to themselves or others. [More]
If they’re proven dangers, why aren’t they in custody until they no longer are?
If it hasn’t been proven, how is saying they pose a danger not libelous?

But what are due process protections when it comes to the government’s intentional deprivation of a constitutionally protected right, or even a constitutionally protected “property” right, through ex parte proceedings? [More]
Well, we could go with the stare decisis version and defer to past acts of judicial tyranny, or we could go with a historical understanding to be guided by Amendments IV, V, and VI…
That treacherous wretch Bill Lee has established his legacy.
In the Fifth Circuit, the entire Court has ruled, en banc, that rights protected by the Second Amendment may not be infringed by mere civil restraining orders. The unconstitutional infringement was placed into law by the infamous Lautenberg amendment in 1996. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been turned upside down and ruined by this infamous and unjust law. [More]
So unproven accusations by parties with vested interests aren’t enough?

Col. James Cockrell, commissioner of the Alaska Department of Public Safety, said he has personally apologized to Colony High Principal Mary Fulp after troopers took her in for a mental health evaluation without her consent last Wednesday evening while the incident was livestreamed on her Facebook page. Cockrell said troopers believed there was a court order requiring them to do so, but the Alaska Court System has since confirmed that no such order was ever issued. [More]

Funny thing, what “due process” can mean when defined by a violence monopolist.
Ol’ Jane certainly looks smug.
