A female ex-postal worker opened fire at a mail processing plant, killing six people and critically wounding another before committing suicide, authorities said early Tuesday.What the hell's the matter with some people? Can't they read?
The handgun used in a double-homicide and suicide was once owned by the police, but how it wound up in the hands of the man blamed for the shooting cannot be conclusively established, investigators say.Yeah, a national gun registry--that'll solve everything...
Within minutes five residents – among them three boys under the age of 15 – lay dead. The weathered cement walls outside the bar were pockmarked with gunshots and the pavement covered in a thick coat of blood.And the executioners?
"It was an execution," one man who was in the bar at the time but was too scared to be identified told Toward Freedom.
Fairfax County's police chief said yesterday that one of his officers accidentally shot and killed an optometrist outside the unarmed man's townhouse Tuesday night as an undercover detective was about to arrest him on suspicion of gambling on sports...Well, it's not like he was a productive citizen or anything, and he was breaking the law...that gambling between consenting adults--now that's something I want government resources used to crush.
"As they approached him . . . one officer's weapon, a handgun, was unintentionally discharged," said Fairfax Police Chief David M. Rohrer.
The officer, a 17-year veteran assigned to the police tactical unit, was not identified.Why the hell not? If you or I killed an unarmed man, do you think our names would be shielded by the police and by the press? Do you think we'd be place on leave with pay, and described as "valued"?
Gee, Dick, let me take a wild guess. It couldn't have anything to do with Officer Secret Identity having his finger on the trigger, could it?
Lt. Richard Perez, a police spokesman, said he could not say how or why the gun discharged.
A case of theft hit close to home for Bloomington police after guns and other gear were stolen from a police officer's car.The funny thing is, Staci, I agree with that statement.
Bloomington police are passing around copies of a photograph showing the kinds of equipment someone grabbed from an officer's car.
"Really, I think it should bother everybody. It gives someone a definite advantage with a gun, radio, handcuffs and a badge," said Gene Perkins, Bloomington resident...
"I think it's just dangerous for people to have guns like that in the possession of police on the street to start with," said Staci Leavitt, university student.
A Tampa police officer lost his 9 mm handgun, Taser, laptop computer and gun belt when someone stole his patrol car from his Manatee County house this weekend, officials said.So it's happened TWICE now. Yeah, that's been a constant problem for me and every gun owner I know, too--always leaving our guns in our cars, because, face it, we're just not professional enough.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office speculated Monday that whoever stole Tampa police Officer Roderick Glyder's car and gear also swiped a patrol car belonging to a Sarasota police officer, who lost an AR-15 rifle that was in the car. Manatee deputies recovered both cars, although not the equipment, within a few blocks of each other, Manatee sheriff's spokesman Dave Bristow said.
Police said Shamia Johnson is facing several charges after she shot her grandfather, pointed a gun at a driver, and caused two hit-and-run accidents.Yeah, that's why they waited around at Columbine, too. For our safety.
Despite the laws Johnson was breaking, at no time did police engage her in a chase...Deputy Chief Dave Stephens said the department's policy didn't allow for a chase in this case.
"Our policy regarding pursuits allows the pursuit only in a situation of a felony dangerous to life," he said...
"That policy has been enacted for the protection of public safety because the risk of pursuit far outweighs the benefit from arresting the person," said Stephens.
The defender always has the tactical advantage.Not always, Ms. Graham. Only when moves are telegraphed.
St. Paul police are rethinking their policies allowing undercover officers to drink on the job after a decorated officer was shot to death outside of a bar...When he was killed, Vick's blood-alcohol level was 0.20 percent -- twice the legal limit for driving at that time. Since the defense raised questions about Vick's partner carrying a firearm while consuming alcohol, Harrington said the department is examining that policy...Vick and his partner, Sgt. Joe Strong, were investigating prostitution when they confronted two men outside a bar on St. Paul's East Side. The argument escalated to a shooting in a nearby alley that killed Vick.
On Friday, Harry Evans was convicted of first-degree murder in Vick's death and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.
Google, the giant internet search company, is to lead industry opposition to new proposals from the European Commission to regulate online content.I guess if everyone sees you back down from a tough bully, picking a fight with the pudgy kid is one way of trying to regain some playground status...
The company, which last week said it would self-censor its Chinese search engine to appease the country's government, objects to the commission's proposals to extend regulations in the Television Without Frontiers directive (TWFD) to cover video content shown on the internet.
Security camera footage that detectives later studied...would show Hernandez being assaulted by at least five men and a woman. He had no teammates to back him, and his opponents hit him without the remotest sense of fair play. He ended up drawing his gun.Michael Daly, who never saw a gun ban he didn't endorse, has nothing but wonderful things to say about the off-duty officer mistakenly shot by NY cops. And naturally, being a police worshipper, he has nothing but excuses for the cop doing the shooting:
Whatever happened next, nobody faults the responding officer who felt compelled to fire. Only when a paramedic discovered a shield in Hernandez's pocket did anyone realize he was an off-duty cop.But while Mayor Mike Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly were staying mysteriously silent about how officers would be safe if we could just disarm those pesky citizens, another angle to this story has surfaced:
[S]ources said [he] was highly intoxicated and holding his gun on a young man...Naturally, the establishment media was all over this when they had a chance to question Mike and Ray. I mean, you and I would be if we had a chance, right?
Bloomberg and Kelly were not asked about Hernandez's sobriety at the news conference.Maybe it made the reporters uncomfortable. Besides, how drunk could Hernandez have been?
[A]source familiar with the investigation said the officer, who had worked the 4 p.m. to midnight shift Friday at the 52nd Precinct, had been drinking at one or two bars before arriving at the restaurant and that his blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit of .08.Well, still, even a drunk cop has a right to defend himself against a mob. I'll bet the "opponents" he held at gunpoint are all in jail now, right? I mean, how could people confronting a drunken armed New York cop (who even other cops didn't realize was one) be giving him "the remotest sense of fair play"?
A man, who would give only his first name, Brian, said he was the one being held at gunpoint and left the 46th Precinct at about 5 p.m. after hours of questioning. "I was a little twisted," he said, referring to his own condition at the time. "Some dude came up and pointed a gun at me and said he was going to shoot and pushed me onto the floor. He looked drunk." He quoted the man as saying, "I know you did it. Get on the floor."All the assumptions!
Brian was one of eight people taken to the precinct for questioning, police said.
Brian and a friend, who gave only his first name, Miguel, said Brian had tried to help Hernandez off the floor after the officer was attacked.
We need to make it clear that if someone lifts even a finger against a police officer, their life could be on the line.This is what traitors like Mike Bloomberg wish to impose on the rest of the Republic. This is what fawning media lickspittles like Mike Daly wish to help them accomplish.
A township officer who left his AR-15 rifle behind at a Butler County high school received a three-day unpaid suspension and will have to undergo more training before he will be allowed back on the SWAT team, his chief said Friday...A student who was on his way to basketball practice at the school found the gun and alerted the coach.I'm sure if it was you or me who left that AR-15 on school grounds for students to find, the authorities would be equally tolerant and understanding, don't you think?
A gun crime review team used E-Trace, a computer database managed by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, that can trace the serial number on a weapon to dealers, manufacturers and registered sellers, to shed light on the exchange of illegal guns in the Bull City...Translation: Well, we have this fancy computer system and all these people working it, but it's really pretty much a make-work boondoggle unless we can use it as a foot in the door to stump for a full-blown gun registry. And then it still won't do anything but tell us who the people who obey us are...
While E-Trace can help investigators locate the gun's original dealer and, in some cases, records of sale, state laws do not require individuals to keep records of private gun sales, Mihaich said.
For that reason, he said, it's difficult to get a grasp on where the guns in Durham are truly coming from.
"We're trying to tighten up how we do that statistically. There's some [statistics] we just don't track because the information isn't there," Mihaich said.
The results of a Washington, D.C.-based FBI probe came down Friday, clearing agents of any wrongdoing in the controversial Nov. 7 slugfest between two Bears players at the shooting range. Sources said alcohol had been served after the shooting practice.Translation: After investigating ourselves, we didn't do anything wrong. And we're banning alcohol at the range even though we didn't do anything wrong, as a way of making sure that we don't not do anything wrong again, even though we didn't the first time. Do anything wrong, that is.
The probe found no evidence that alcohol was mixed with guns. But FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Grant announced he will still ban the use of alcohol by any future group using the FBI's North Chicago shooting facility.
"He was not suggesting any impropriety ... he just wants to make sure an incident like this will not happen again," FBI spokesman Ross Rice said.
The mayor described new tactics including a gun offender registration system, similar to one required for sex criminals, in which gun offenders would have to register and update their addresses with law enforcement. Bloomberg also said he would lobby to make criminal possession of a loaded gun a felony with a minimum prison sentence of 3 years. Both proposals would have to be pushed through the state Legislature."Enemy."
A police officer accused of pointing his gun at a suspect to force him to confess during voluntary questioning at a police box has been arrested, law enforcers said.Ah, gun-free Japan, where only the Samurai class bear arms in the service of their feudal lords...
A lawmaker accidentally discharged a handgun in his General Assembly office in Richmond...Delegate John S. Reid...was ejecting the bullet cartridge when the gun went off, he said.And I'm sure his finger was nowhere near the trigger.
A National Rifle Association-backed bill that would force businesses that sell hunting and fishing licenses to help register customers to vote cleared its first legislative hurdle Wednesday."Force"?
My son, Johnnie, is only 12 years old but he has been pestering my husband and me for several years to buy him a gun. My husband had his fill of rifles in the army, and for a long time I told Johnnie that “I wouldn’t have a gun around the house. They are too dangerous."Stop right here a moment. You've seen these kinds of letters before, haven't you? You know where this is going, right?
Last summer Johnnie bought a pistol from one of his playmates at school and managed to find some bullets to shoot in it. The gun went off in his pocket, and badly burned the side of his leg but thank goodness didn’t actually hit his leg or his foot. Our physician made out a routine gun-shot wound report which was sent to the police station, and they sent a policeman around to check up on the “shooting.”
He is now a real friend to our family, because after seeing Johnny and talking with him, he bought us a copy of your magazine with a story on “When to Buy Your Son A Gun.”Yes, this is an actual letter. It appeared in the January 1956 issue of GUNS Magazine, now available for free download.
I want to thank writer Harvey Brandt for that story. It has literally changed our whole lives and really opened my eyes to how harsh and unfeeling my attitude must have seemed to my son. He now has a gun, a proper .22 rifle and he is shooting on a boys team which is supervised by the Police Athletic League. He shoots well, and my husband has promised to take him hunting next year with a real rifle for big game. Things are going fine at home, and the rusty revolver he bought at school reposes in my desk drawer as a reminder—not a reminder to Johnny, but a reminder to me—of how serious our neglect of our son might have been, if the police officer and Harvey Brandt hadn’t knocked on our door.

This is the world I grew up in (I was three going on four when this was published). These are the attitudes I remember.Vin Suprynowicz's The Black Arrow has been nominated for the Libertarian Futurist Society's 2006 Prometheus Award, honoring the best libertarian novel of 2005. The Black Arrow is one of nine books nominated for the award this year. (The deadline for nominations is February 15th.)
The Black Arrow, Vin's first novel, peers 30 years ahead into our future to predict the havoc and hazards caused by government run amok -- when people who've grown fed up with brutality and tyranny are finally willing to fight to take back their freedom. Themes in The Black Arrow are often eerily and sometimes tragically reminiscent of recent headlines. Vin's long and energetic career as a noted (or notorious?) libertarian journalist has stocked his impressive literary arsenal with an endless supply of factual outrages to draw from. Characters and scenes in The Black Arrow ring true, especially to readers of Vin's previous books, Send In the Waco Killers and The Ballad of Carl Drega.
Police say the 41-year-old Singler then ran outside the store and shot himself. Investigators say Singler apparently brought ammunition for the weapon with him.The planets must be going through a phase or something--first the judge, then Uncle Hiccup and now this...
A Colombian man who tried to startle his nephew from a bout of the hiccups by pointing a gun at him, accidentally pulled the trigger and killed him.Sounds like we need to disarm you and me to keep tragedies like this from ever happening again.
"You could be a leader in the community," Greenspan said. "All those guns that's why Desmond is gone now, because of all those guns."Good Lord.
A bill (HB1) expanding the circumstances in which deadly force may be used in self-defense is pending in the Alabama Legislature...One opponent is Arthur Hayhoe, executive director of the Florida Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. He told the Times the Alabama bill could cause trouble if passed "I call it the 'right-to-commit-murder' bill."And I call that a damned lie, Arthur.
Directors of the Twin City Rod & Gun Club were shocked in December when notified their nonprofit organization had to pay a state sales tax on memberships and fees.The bureaucrats [Sean--note the spelling :)] just keep sticking us, don't they? That's because they believe they won't have to endure any personal consequences.
CANADIAN voters have rebuked Prime Minister Paul Martin and his centre-left Liberal Party, tossing them out after 13 years in power.
The new leader, Stephen Harper, the head of the Conservative Party, will be one of Canada's youngest prime ministers when he is sworn in later this week. He is 46.
05-365 SEEGARS, SANDRA, ET AL. V. GONZALES, ATT'Y GEN., ET AL. The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. The Chief Justice took no part in the consideration or decision of this petition.
Between 1998 and 2002, when he was fired, Brown committed oral copulation, sodomy and other lewd acts on the boys, using force on more than 30 occasions...Officer Friendly, I presume...?
Military-style assault weapons of the kind wielded by Henry have been showing up in increasing numbers since Congress and President Bush allowed federal ban on the guns to expire in late 2004. They did the bidding of the National Rifle Association, and it's all but certain that innocent blood will be spilled because of the blind irresponsibility of the NRA and its agents in Washington.This is why the Brady Campaign doesn't need to have that many members--the media does its job for them.
The Vatican representative called upon the United Nations to consider the possibility of negotiating a legally binding instrument on the international arms trade, based on the principles of international law, and in particular on the question of human rights and humanitarian law.I don't suppose the Vatican representative would like to make sure his own house is in order first?
I don't care personally if some governmental agency listens to our family's phone calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We have nothing to hide. The surveillors may expire from boredom, but that would be their problem.--Pat BooneThat's quite a difference in philosophy between "conservative" and "liberal," wouldn't you say?
The only individuals whose privacy would have been infringed by the bill would have been the privacy of people with something to hide from the police - people who arm themselves and then become a threat to public safety.--Brady Campaign
Elected officials and community members gathered in Center City to try and stop the escalation of violent gun use in Philadelphia. It is an effort many are hoping will save hundred of lives.This was definitely not supposed to happen.
"If you and your prosecutors stick to the simple, proven model of Richmond, the murder rate in Philadelphia will decline and your citizens will be safer."
Hargreaves admits to being "devastated by the news" that the gun had been involved in a homicide and almost as devastated by the fact there is now a warrant out for his arrest for unsafe storage of those weapons -- despite the fact they were stored in a 771-kilo concrete-and-steel safe and that it took the industrious thieves two days using blowtorches and sledge hammers to gain access to it...Another example of "gun control" giving criminals the advantage.
On July 23 of that year, one month after the on-duty murder of 25-year-old Const. Todd Baylis, Ontario became the toughest place in North America to buy ammunition as Bill 181 went into effect, requiring all ammunition retailers to keep records of all transactions -- the name and age of the purchaser, his or her address, the date and time, the type of identification used, plus any serial number and the type and quantity of ammunition purchased...
"They can be photocopied by a clerk running with a bad crowd. They can be sold for a price. Those books, quite often, are simply left on the counter," he says.
Record levels of gun crime are being blamed on the fact that more people than ever are carrying firearms as fashion accessories.Bloody 'ell! You mean "gun control" doesn't work?
Mexicans are being invited to exchange their weapons for computers under a quirky new idea to curb rampant crime in Mexico City.Well, this'll have absolutely no effect on violent crime, but it does sound like a great incentive for "authorities" to trade in confiscated weapons...
Authorities in one of the city's 16 districts are offering a new computer, out of 150 donated by a charitable foundation, for each gun handed in.
State troopers who fix tickets as favors — even for someone who gives them gifts — are not breaking the law, the Knox County prosecutor has determined for Gov. Phil Bredesen.That Lord Acton--him plenty smart fella.
At most jobs, on-the-job conduct that gets an employee arrested will usually stop the paycheck, at least for the duration of the incarceration. However, if that individual is a Washington State Patrol employee sworn to uphold the law, the paycheck is delivered to the jail, it seems.Why? Because no one is accountable. Because there are no consequences. Because it's not their money and what happens doesn't affect them. Because they can.
Michael Idland was on administrative reassignment and drew his full Washington State Patrol (WSP) salary during the 17 months he spent in the King County Jail for molesting women during routine traffic stops. Why did the agency that is supposed to enforce our state laws reward an officer for breaking those laws?
Another dark cloud hangs over the Easton Police Department tonight, as a new report finds city cops regularly break the rules when it comes to the safety of their guns.Yeah, common sense gun handling is kinda like quantum physics in its incredible complexity. No wonder only a highly-educated and select few are trustworthy enough to be armed.
The findings come just 10 months after an officer was shot and killed inside the department's headquarters.
Ottawa city's gun amnesty hasn't even started but police have already raked in dozens of firearms, including at least one that's about 200 years old."Dozens" is "raking in"?
One-third of the guns collected were missing essential working parts, and most were several decades old, such as the only semi-automatic pistol in the haul, an 80-year-old German Walther .380, a rusty antique breechloader from the 19th century, and two old-style revolvers of the 'Saturday night special' design.Rest easy, Ottawa. The orcs have been defanged. Your salvation from "gun violence" is at hand.
Police also raked in a number of shotguns, hunting rifles and BB guns.
"State law authorizes law enforcement to keep a record of every handgun sold or transferred in the state, but the state does not keep any records on the sale of rifles or shotguns. Handgun sale records are maintained by state law enforcement for use in gun tracing and related criminal investigations, and to make sure they are not possessed by individuals who are not legally allowed to have them. Which of the following most closely represents your opinion?This is a probe. And it got sent to a trendy LA constituency, so it's also designed to be a self-fulfilling prophecy and pretext. The bastard just won't stop attacking.
a. California should retain records on the purchase of rifles and shotguns because that would help law enforcement solve crimes related to the criminal use of on these weapons -- it does not make sense to exempt rifles and shotguns from record keeping if law enforcement is already keeping records on handgun purchases.
b. I am not in favor of law enforcement having records on persons who own rifles and shotguns.
c. We should make sure our existing firearms laws are working before we consider more gun legislation.
d. Other, please comment _____________________ "
Police tell us when Rollman went to put the gun away after investigating the noise, it went off and the bullet hit his son in the hip.Dang--another one of those self-animating guns. I'm sure Mr. Rollman's finger was nowhere near the trigger, or the reporter would have surely written the account that way.
"We don't know if the gun range has caused the drop in attendance (at the park)," Bartsch said.Uhhh...maybe they're all at the gun range.
He said the decrease in visitors occurred at the park, golf course, nature center and farm center.
Gun lobbyists are fuming because the state police have been slow at processing FOID applications. State law requires that be accomplished in 30 days. But callers to the state police bureau that handles FOID cards get a recording that says it may take eight weeks. A gun owner is in technical violation of the law if his card expires before a new one arrives in the mail...Translation: We force you to comply with a process we can't perform, so it must be your fault.
Gun owners want better service? Hike the FOID card fee.
Deputy Commissioner Richard Ross is now head of internal affairs, and will retain his title as the city's gun czar.I repeat a question I've asked before: Why "czar"?
A jail security officer was placed on administrative leave after a woman visitor got past an X-ray machine carrying a gun, leading to the closure of two Clayton County courts on Wednesday...."She got as far as the lobby and was called back because she didn't fit the dress code. Her arms were exposed or something," the sheriff said.No, her arms weren't exposed. Hence the lockdown.
Technical problems have once again delayed the national firearms register, nine years after it was first proposed..."‘If the Home Office really is incapable, over a period of eight years, of computerising something as straightforward as a few hundred thousand firearms records, then it does suggest that they do not have a hope of making a success of the introduction of the national identity card scheme,"’ he said.Eight years?
Hip-hop star 50 CENT has dismissed accusations his movie GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN' glorifies violence and gun crime, insisting the film is being unfairly singled out for criticism.It is unfair. Where's the "community" outrage over this?
Even if the gun was real, the officer could have shot Penley in a non-fatal area.Poor Heather Forgione. She had my attention up until that point, what with her talking about "simple communication and common sense," and all.
The idiot evidently prefers people being stabbed to death by those who do not share his share his sheeplike bent.
A statement from New Scotland Yard said: "Mr Eastman is extremely upset about the article.
"He does not recognise the quotes attributed to him and does not condone anyone carrying a knife or a weapon of any kind."
Over the weekend, an attorney for the family said Penley's father told him that he contacted law enforcement before the boy was shot to tell them that his son did not have a gun and that he only had a pellet gun, Local 6 News reported.If that's the case, then the outcome can't be judged unreasonable. When I posted this, press accounts were very different, citing the boys father, a brother and a classmate all corroborating police and school authorities being told.
However, phone records obtained by the FDLE showed authorities did not make contact with the dead boy's father until about 45 minutes after the boy had been shot, according to a report released Tuesday.
Brooks, too, is not new to controversy. He’s been widely known as one of the city’s most flamboyant activists for over a decade and is a convicted sex offender.I guess if I was a predatory pervert, I'd want to make sure my victims--and those able to avenge them--were disarmed, too.
Since passing its "shoot first, ask questions later" law last year, the state of Florida has been derided by the international press, become the subject of an ad campaign that warns visitors not to "shout or make threatening gestures" at the natives, and provided fodder for amused bloggers, pundits and late-night comics. (What's the Sunshine State's new motto? "Florida: Don't make us come up there.'')Translation: British and French journalists' opinions should be a deciding factor in which rights the government allows you to enjoy. A handful of mentally ill loons passing out propaganda leaflets at Orlando airport should be a deciding factor in which rights the government allows you to enjoy. And Hollywood and other media elites making snotty comments to the amusement of their worshippers should be a deciding factor in which rights the government allows you to enjoy.
Jane Creba, 15, was browsing the Boxing Day sales with her older sister when she started crossing the street to look for sneakers. She stepped into a spray of gunfire between rival teenage gangs in the middle of the busy downtown shopping district.A Google news search yields no fewer than 31 pages of hits for the term "Jane Creba."
Just Samurai? Isn't that racist?UPDATE:It might help if I gave you the link to her comments on the WaPo gun ban proposal.
Substitute "brick" for "sword" and "bashed" for "stabbed."
A U.S. border patrol agent is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Del Rio, Texas, on federal charges that he illegally purchased a pistol for a Mexican national who intended to smuggle the weapon into Mexico, according to U.S. investigators.What did Plato ask?
Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said the 25-year-old police officer allegedly hired out his service pistol for R150 to three hijackers.And remember, South African citizens, the police say you must register your guns to keep things like this from happening.
Lawmakers know all this and know as well that handguns -- however exalted they seem to be in America -- should not be in general circulation. Political long shot that it may be, a national ban on the general manufacture, sale and ownership of handguns ought be enacted. It would not pacify kids or adults with violent tendencies, and it might not curb general criminal activity markedly. But it might well save thousands of lives. Handgun exceptions could be made for federal, state and local law enforcement and military agencies; collectors of antique firearms; federally licensed handgun sporting clubs with certain safety procedures; security guard services; and licensed dealers, importers or manufacturers that are determined to be meeting those needs.Like the man said: Molon Labe!
British lawmakers are being urged to ease a ban on handguns so Britain`s champion shooters can train for the Olympics.I guess they can do it there if they want--they have "nobility" and commoners.
"If police catch you carrying a weapon you could be arrested and prosecuted. But isn't that better than being unable to protect yourself and losing your life? The police can't be everywhere and the sentences handed down by the courts are often far too lenient."Yep--as the truism goes, better to be tried by twelve than carried by six...
Harold M. Clemens of Roxbury writes on his Ghetto Uprising that, as well-intentioned as the state's tough gun-ownership laws are, it might be time to relax them so residents of violence-prone neighborhoods can protect themselves.Relax 'em? Hell, it's past time to repeal 'em. But this is, as our opponents are wont to say, "a good first step."
The family of a 13-year-old Florida boy shot by police say officers were told the gun he held was not real.Why should authorities have taken their word for it? They're only "civilians." And you know how they lie.
Ralph Penley said when he arrived at the Millwee Middle School in suburban Orlando on Friday morning, he told Seminole County Sheriff`s deputies his son Christopher only had a replica pistol, CNN said. The boy`s younger brother says he told school officials the same thing.
Greenwood police are investigating the disappearance of several firearms from the department's inventory...The guns were stored in a vault or locker in the department's main headquarters building and were discovered missing Jan. 6, Harris said...He said the weapons were securely stored and access was controlled.Right. That's why they're MISSING!
The Remington 12-gauge shotgun had been issued to Lemay by the Sheriff's Office, Buchanan said. It's Lemay's responsibility to keep the gun locked up, and Buchanan said he considered it to be secure because it was inside the trunk.At least his "710" cap isn't missing...
But all the thief needed to do to get the shotgun was to slip his hand inside the car and lift a lever to pop open the trunk.
A township police officer is facing more than 11 years in prison...a Morris County Grand Jury handed up the indictment against Kevin J. Lassiter, 43. He was indicted for possessing a weapon for an unlawful purpose on Sept. 5 and aggravated assault for allegedly holding a gun to the head of his wife'’s cousin when she tried to intervene in the dispute between Lassiter and his wife at Lassiter'’s home.See, you and I can't be trusted with guns because we might go off the deep end...
Lassiter was charged with assaulting his wife by pushing, punching and grabbing her by the throat...
There is nothing quite like punching someone in the head and having it sound like a ripe melon.His "favorite quote"? Boy, you could see this one coming a mile away:
What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women. - Conan the BarbarianIn a post titled "More Holiday Cheer," he describes a recent arrest that elicits a chorus of admiring comments, including:
Hey Man - Happy New Year! Congrats on catching that bastard. Put a pink tutu on him and throw in the cell with the friendly chaps.What's even more disgusting, the prison rape advocate isn't even a cop. But he expresses a sentiment promoted by no less an "authority" than California Attorney General Bill Lockyer, who had this to say about a man who hadn't (at the time) even been charged with a crime, let alone convicted:
I would love to personally escort [Enron CEO Ken Lay] to an 8-by-10 cell that he could share with a tattooed dude who says, 'Hi, my name is Spike, honey.'Lockyer, of course, says you have no right to own a gun, and if his cop minions catch you with one he doesn't approve of, they'll do their best to throw you into a population of "Spikes".
