We're the Only Ones Privately Checked In Enough

No one was injured when an off-duty Woodbury, Minn. police officer's gun fired through a wall at a St. Cloud, Minn. hotel into another guest's room as the officer practiced holster and trigger pulls, authorities said...

Woodbury Police Chief William Hering refused to release the name, rank or years of service of the officer on the advice of the city's attorney.

"Right now we're treating that information as private," Hering said Thursday.
But of course. The criminally negligent moron is, after all, an "Only One."

Hal: A Typical Democrat Elitist

I came across the following comment in response to a story about Tom Delay trying to get his CCW back:
10 Hal - Aug 4, 11:52 pm

I'm sorry, I just have one question here. Why does Tom DeLay feel that he needs to be able to carry a concealed weapon? I just don'’t get it. Millions of Americans survive a day-to-day existence without feeling the need to pack heat.

If he feels threatened then maybe he needs to let loose of a few thousand of those campaign contribution smackers and engage a body guard or two. People who are trained in the art of self defense. Tom, as a middle aged, out of shape white man, is out of his element if he wants to pack a rod to fend off hardened criminals.

It'’s the same in DC as it is in the "burbs”. Leave it to the professionals.
I followed his link to his website, and found he's part of the "Lefty Blogs" ring.

Hey Hal: Your party is supposed to represent the common man, the downtrodden, the underdogs, the poor. What are they supposed to do if they need protection? They don't have "a few thousand...smackers" to engage a bodyguard. Dial 911?

And as for being "out of shape," who better to need an "equalizer" when faced with "hardened criminals"? I know plenty of women, Hal, who are adept with firearms but would be no physical match in a street fight against an enraged male. What do you recommend they do, Mr. Egalitarian? Lay back and hope they survive the beating, stabbing, shooting or rape?

And Hal--YOU "leave it to the professionals," that is, "The Only Ones." We've examined the evidence, and we know better.

Hal, here's your problem. You're stupid and you're a coward.

But aside from that, we'll give your opinions all the consideration they deserve.

Ron Slocum: Trailer Park Snitch

Slocum called authorities. He has no problem with killing unwanted critters but questions using a rifle in a mobile home park.

“She's out shooting in the middle of the night and walking around with her gun,” he said. "And in her camouflage clothing, of course."
Oooh. Keeping and bearing arms. And wearing "camouflage clothing." Of course.

The lady is out there doing a service, and enuretic Ron evidently doesn't think private citizens can take care of matters affecting the quality of life without bringing in government agents.

We're the Only Ones Eliciting Enough

A Daly City police officer was arrested Friday after authorities say he tried to elicit information by placing a gun a man's head.
Good straight reporting by Sandra Gonzales. She gave us the name of the "Only One" charged.

We're the Only Ones Exonerated Enough

A police marksman who wounded a suspect during an anti-terror raid stumbled during the operation and accidentally fired his gun, the police complaints bureau ruled Thursday, exonerating the officer of any wrongdoing.
Safety off. Finger on the trigger. Shoots a non-"Only One".

Yep.
"In the circumstances, I conclude that the officer has committed no criminal or disciplinary offense."
Sounds about right to me. Who except a non-"Only One" could possibly conclude otherwise? And they don't matter.

And note we know the name of the "suspect," Mohammed Abdul Kahar, and even how old he is, "23."

Quick--what's the name of the "police marksman", I mean "the officer"?

Thanks, Watchdog Press! That must be why you're "authorized journalists" and we're not!
