The NeverEnding Story
Tales of the Bizarro World
Missouri’s governor would play a major role in St. Louis policing and prosecution under a bill praised by Republicans as a way to fight crime and criticized by Democrats as an attempt to take away local control from the Black-led city. [More]
So the people trying to save black lives are the racists…?

Doesn’t Seem the Type
We’re the Only Ones Transferring Enough
All That ‘Common Sense’ Just Ignored…
Investigators confirmed the Jeep had been stolen less than 48 hours earlier. They found a stolen AR-style pistol on the backseat and a .357-caliber Glock 32 under the passenger seat. Both weapons had large-capacity magazines. [More]
If only there were some kind of law for people who can’t be trusted with guns…
Until then, they expect you and me to give up ours.

The Dawn of a New Golden Age
Fascists Attack Hero of Justice and Equity
A St. Louis judge sanctioned St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s office last week for allegedly withholding evidence in a double-murder case, while allowing the suspect out on bond, amid rising criticism about left-wing prosecutors allowing crime to flourish in major U.S. cities. [More]

And the Crowd Went Wild
Kim Gardner hosts criminal justice reform discussion… She said poverty is the number one factor driving crime and called on St. Louis to do more to address inequities within the community. [More]
I remember my father telling me about cutting mold spots out of bread slices during the Great Depression– back in the days when you could walk into a hardware store and walk out with a .38 and before the days of getting forced wealth transfers just because you exist.
They didn’t use that as an excuse to act like savages or live in filth or blame others.

Burying the Lede
This is the time-to-crime rate for firearms in St. Louis. [More]
So how many murders have been solved by tracing a gun back to its owner? You’d think with all the numbers they throw at us, that would be the headline to trumpet.
The Real Culprits
We’re the Only Ones Incompetent Enough
It’s Under Control
St. Louis suspect seen calmly loading gun, shooting homeless man execution style in broad daylight [More]
No worries.
The St. Louis Police Chief is meeting with clergy to “talk about crime” and “the St. Louis safety committee worked with the city police … to spread awareness about gun safety.”
Throw in a tax-funded youth mentoring program or two, and problem solved!
‘Leaders’ Summit Guarantees More Urban Carnage
St. Louis leaders and police work to address youth gun violence… The St. Louis safety committee worked with the city police on Tuesday to spread awareness about gun safety. [More]
“Youth violence” or “gun safety”? Which is it?
And what track record shows any of these dolts are capable of doing more than removing their sn0uts out of the trough long enough to regurgitate hackneyed talking points for an equally ignorant media that confirm their utter incompetence?

Pumping Iron
Location, Location, Location
A recent back-and-forth crime spree involved three St. Louis County teens reportedly stealing cars, which culminated in a shooting.

And why weren’t they going to be prosecuted there?

Basket of Deplorables
In a triage waiting room of St. Louis Children’s Hospital in Missouri, a clear basket filled with gun locks sits near the walkway, just noticeable enough to those passing by. [More]
How ’bout another basket filled with Lego astronauts?

When the deputy got out, police claim the suspects tried to grab his weapon, which was secured in his holster. After a brief struggle, the two ended up with the deputy’s gun and cellphone. The suspects then drove off in the deputy’s car, a 2011 Chevy Cruz. [More]
They can’t even protect themselves yet we’re supposed to believe they can protect us?

Within Range
A Situation Well in Hand
A woman who exchanged gunfire with police on Friday, January 13, in downtown St. Louis, was released from custody. She was arrested after allegedly saying she was going to shoot up the social security office, then shooting at officers from inside her van. [More]
No worries. The mayor has launched a task force.
And it’s working as expected!

Lest Ye Be Judged
A Missouri judge has ruled that a pardon from the governor doesn’t mean the St. Louis lawyer and his wife who gained national attention for waving guns at racial injustice protesters in 2020 should get back the weapons they surrendered and fines they paid after guilty pleas last year. [More]
She just wishes she could do more.

A Right Delayed
Accused killer may soon be released after 4 years in jail, no trial [More]
Seeing as how the Sixth Amendment supposedly guarantees “a right to a speedy and public trial,” why aren’t the government officials responsible for this in jail?
