LASD - The War on Guns

We’re the Only Ones Self-Exonerating Enough

A multi-year criminal investigation under former Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva into the agency’s inspector general — a probe that a legal advisor for the county called “not legally viable” — was based largely on unfounded accusations that state and federal prosecutors repeatedly turned down, documents reviewed by The Times show.

We have investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing.

This malcontent must be a cop hater.

We’re the Only Ones Motherf***ing Enough

Bodycam video shows LA sheriff’s deputy fatally shooting woman, 27, FOUR times in front of child [More]

So calling the police is the worst thing you can do…?

Standing Up to Thugs

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff and California Attorney General Rob Bonta challenging the constitutionality of carry permit issuance policies and laws that make it difficult, if not impossible, for citizens to obtain permits. Joining SAF are the California Rifle & Pistol Association, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation, Gun Owners of California and several private citizens. [More]

Put another way, they’re taking on the kingpin who knows where they live and local armed gang members.

We’re the Only Ones Gangsta Enough

Incoming Assn. of Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs board member Jason Zabala previously described his tattoo under oath, saying it depicted a skeleton in a cowboy hat with a smoking rifle and the number 140. He called the stark combination of imagery a “station tattoo,” but others described it as the symbol of a deputy gang known as the Regulators. [More]

So these guys can get off-roster guns and you can’t…

It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

We’re the Only Ones Shockwaved Enough

‘Shockwaves of emotions’ after 4 L.A. Sheriff’s Department employees die by suicide in 24 hours [More]

So “gun law” enforcers with exemptions not afforded to We the People have “a 54% increase in suicide risk when compared to the civilian population.”

Criminals also have a much higher risk…?

Hmmm…

We’re the Only Ones Violently Enraged Enough

“Air freshener.” Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Naturally, powder keg thug Joseph Benza is still on the job, protecting and serving the $h!+ out of us.

And remember, “law-abiding conservatives”: Back the Blue!

Or else.

We’re the Only Ones Gangsta Enough

35 LASD deputies asked to come in for questioning, show tattoos as part of deputy gang investigation [More]

Is it any wonder they’re big on you and me being disarmed?

LASD Gang Charges Underscore Threat of Enforcers Being ‘Only Ones’ with Guns

“There is at least a half dozen, and possibly more, Deputy Gangs and Deputy Cliques currently in the Department, primarily at patrol stations,” the report elaborates. “They include the Executioners, the Banditos, the Regulators, the Spartans, the Gladiators, the Cowboys and the Reapers.” [More]

Sounds like the most dangerous gang is the LASD because they’re the ones empowered by “law” to enforce citizen disarmament diktats…

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.
