We're the Only Ones Extorting Enough

The constable then required Reyes to pay her and her chief deputy $50 an hour for security as her own family regrouped at a nearby BBQ pit. [More]

Nice family gathering you've got here.  Shame if something happened to it...

Don't worry -- it's not like they've been fired and indicted or anything.

I'm seeing extortion, deprivation of rights under color of authority, and by two of them doing it that makes it a conspiracy. Since their cronies won't do anything about it, maybe it's time to bring in the big guns.

Impossible X 3

One student was shot "without provocation" in a trio of attacks late Monday. U officials and police hope security video helps them track the suspects - quickly. [More]

I thought a "trio" was a "spate."

Oh well, no matter. I'm sure there's some mistake.

This could not possibly have happened.

We're the Only Ones Fulfilling the Prophecy Enough

A 12-year Superior police officer has been charged with second-degree assault for allegedly pulling a gun and pointing it at a motorist in the parking lot of a Two Harbors service station in an apparent road rage incident on Sunday.

In fairness, the Brady's did predict we'd have "gun violence" over minor traffic incidents. They just didn't tell us how many of them would be initiated by enraged "Only Ones."

Jail for Speech

The "Journalist of the Year" said it, I believe it, that settles it. [Read]

Jeez, if he thinks that's an actionable threat, I wonder how he'll personally feel about Mike's "Serbian Rules" recounting?

Do you think these regressive hive insects realize just how Orwellian they are, or are they really that ignorant?

We're the Only Ones Cheating Enough

32 new Georgia State Troopers fired, 1 resigned after allegedly cheating on exams [More]

So basically there were no good apples and the barrel was fresh? These are the people we're hiring to shoot our dogs?

Kind'a makes you wonder how seriously they would have taken their oaths...

We're the Only Ones Pranking Enough

A person who works in the courthouse said the prank involved the courthouse's chief bailiff, Delbert Garrison, opening the door to a side room where lawyers work and pointing his service weapon at a deputy attorney general in the room. [More]

There is nothing I can add to this. It needs no further comment.

Attention to Sears Automotive Management

Dear Sears,

What the hell is this?

David, I thought you might be interested in my experience getting new tires at Sears today. They have WIFI so I thought I would do a little shopping since it is payday. Turn out they block Midway and Brownell's because of "Weapons." Ironically, they don't block Dick's, which also sells weapons and has a store in the same mall.  See the attached screen shots.   

I mentioned my dissatisfaction to the salesman, but he was pretty dismissive. Since the tires were already installed there wasn't much I could do. I do plan to contact management and express my dismay and explain to them that next time I need service I'll be checking their WIFI access first. No access to "Weapons," no business for Sears.

They sure have fallen a long way:

We'll see if the clerk who receives my contact form inquiry is smart enough to forward it to someone smart enough to rectify things.

That's their phone number, by the way.  They've got a hell of a lot of nerve REQUIRING it just to send them a form email.

Y'know, they really don't look like they can afford to p!$$ too many customers off.

Cities Under Fire!!!!!

30,000 Americans die every year from gun violence. How do we prevent this carnage? First, view illegal guns as pollution. Then, go to the source. [More]

IT BUR-R-R-RNS!!!

And some think we use hyperbole.

I guess the "public health model" didn't get enough traction, so now we're trying the environmentalism analogy tack? And, of course, there's absolutely no acknowledgment of the protective benefits of guns in private hands. Nobody thought these folks were interested in objective scientific inquiry, I hope.

One name sticks out from this as, I dunno, ironic...Daniel Webster would do well to recall the words of a man who bore that name with honor.

Hey, if guns are pollutants, will rich liberals who still have theirs get to ease their consciences by paying some sort of offset indulgence...?

They ought to just assume we all have guns, and then conduct themselves accordingly. [More]

Practicing Moderation on St. Patrick's Day

From Russell S, via email:

I thought it might be appropriate to have an Irish Socialist explain what we're really up against:

For our demands most moderate are,
We only want the earth.

Against the Rules

The 67-year-old man who shot an alleged intruder accused of trying to steal his prescription painkillers has been told by his landlord he cannot have a firearm in his apartment. [More]

We talked about this yesterday.

You could ask if they'll sign a contract assuming a duty to protect with liability should they fail, but it would just be simpler to tell him and the management company, and especially Russell Gagne, who would obviously rather their tenant had been killed by a home invader, to go f*** themselves. It's an unenforceable condition, and this is screaming for a lawsuit.

But the nerve of those a******s...
