We're the Only Ones Abreast of the Situation

One report said a grandmother complained that the topless woman became "loud and disorderly" after she told the woman to cover up. Another camper told authorities the woman became belligerent when confronted.

In both instances, the topless woman said she was a law officer, according to the reports.
So where did she pin her badge...?

UK Council Demands Tree Control

Council officials have written to the chamber of trade saying the trees are a potential hazard because their sharp leaves could cause injuries to eyes or faces.
And we all know free-willed sovereign individuals are just too stupid and inept to coexist with trees without government edicts to guide them.

Orlando Sentinel's Lying Headline

Gun law triggers at least 13 shootings
That's one hell of a claim. Too bad not one of their anecdotes substantiates the inflammatory charge that Florida's new "stand your ground" law had anything to do with the decision by the people involved to discharge their weapons.

In fact, the story's lead paragraph belies the sensational headline:
Michael Brady didn't think about his rights when he shot and killed a stranger in his front yard. He says he was just scared.
That sounds about right.

The most egregious example cited in the article, unsurprisingly, involves one of The Only Ones, who had been drinking and used his department-issued firearm. So naturally, the antis spin this as a reason why everybody else shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves.

This Day in History: June 11

On this day in 1776, the Continental Congress selects Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman of Connecticut and Robert R. Livingston of New York to draft a declaration of independence.

We're the Only Ones With This Kind of Money to Waste: Yours

For at least the past two years, 100 military surplus M-16 rifles have been gathering dust in the Dallas County Sheriff's Department armory.
Leave it to "The Only Ones" to squander their loot--that is, "taxpayer money"--on something they say they desperately need and then not only don't use but forget about. For years.

Besides which, why would we want the police using a "justifiably maligned" weapon that, according to a self-designated Second Amendment Lite spokesman, is only good "for killing of human beings and the damage of war equipment and facilities"?

We're the Only...Where Did He Go...?

A motorcyclist-riding gunman twice eluded police in North Hollywood remained at large.
But don't worry--"The Only Ones" will protect you from him--once they catch him.

In the meantime, you're on your own.

Disarmed by law if you share a street with the blasting biker, and on your own.

One other minor point: A "motorcyclist-riding gunman"? Well, it is North Hollywood...
