We're the Only Ones Resigned Enough

Gail Buckner is also looking at a charge of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. [More]
They sound like all-around quality folks, don't they? An "Only One" married to a felon--interesting dichotomy going on in that household.

Y'know, I've wondered but never looked into how a prohibited person can live under the same roof as someone who has guns. Since that's federally-mandated, I wonder what the workaround is...

Anybody know?

Where Do These Fascist Freaks Come From?

Barack Obama's nominee for "regulatory czar" has advocated a "Fairness Doctrine" for the Internet that would require opposing opinions be linked and also has suggested angry e-mails should be prevented from being sent by technology that would require a 24-hour cooling off period. [More]
Chains we can believe in. The weird thing is, it's like they're trying to be outrageous.

I Hope He Wins

The suit asks for $75,000 in damages, and seeks to force the two companies into implementing measures such as arming crews, providing security guards or using alternate shipping routes to protect other sailors. [More]
Good for him.

We're the Only Ones Who Do Not Believe Our Officers Acted Outside Policy Enough

Yeah, beating and tasing a guy who argues with you because you made him miss his flight over a bottle of Sprite sounds like an appropriate official response. [More]

The punks are lucky the sergeant did not revert to combat mode on them. They'd do well to remember the Battle of Athens. And to familiarize themselves with Oath Keepers.

As an aside, isn't it just like our government? The whole point behind TSAnal retentiveness is because Islamic terrorists hijacked airplanes. So here's a guy who is trying to go and fight those Islamic terrorists and they beat the hell out of him so badly he can't deploy.

It sometimes just boggles the mind.

I'd also like to know the names of all goons involved---and whether the one who claimed to be a reserve lieutenant truly is one.

We're the Only Ones Not Malicious Enough

U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Duggan ruled that Detroit Police Officer Tyrine Wheatley, who the jury determined testified falsely against Morningstar, was immune from civil liability because he gave testimony in his role as a police officer and the prosecutor did not rely on Wheatley's false testimony in deciding to charge Morningstar. [More]
So you're immune from civil liability by law if you perjure yourself in your capacity as an "Only One"?
Duggan said in a written opinion that Schwarzberg's trial performance was "somewhat less than commendable."
So the city attorney plays fast and loose, too?

It's getting so I don't know who in government we can trust...

"Might Not Be a Bad Concept"

"The concept might not be a bad concept, but I think there are a lot of flaws," Sen. Tom Libous, whose district includes Binghamton, said of the five-year license renewal plan. [More]
It's a terrible concept, Tom. You'd think someone with an A rating from NRA would realize that.

Then again, maybe not...

And we know how persuasive those democrats can be.

We're the Only Ones "In Soviet Russia, Police Spree Shoot YOU" Enough

A Moscow district police chief opened fire on the street and in a supermarket early Monday, killing three people and wounding seven others — four of them critically, Russian investigators said. [More]
They do it here, too. But the "Only Ones" myth persists...

This Day in History: April 28

April 28, 1777 at Norwalk, Connecticut - Maj. Gen. William Tryon made his way to Compo Hill, close to where he would board his ships. Brig. Gen. Benedict Arnold's men formed up for an attack, but 400 British troops, led by Gen. ?? Erskine charged them with bayonets and the Americans scattered. Tryon's men boarded the ships and sailed off. The 2-day encounter had cost the Americans about 60 casualties, including 20 dead. The exact British losses were unclear, though they had at least 60 dead. Conclusion: British Victory [More]
