Rendering Unto Caesar
Guns were the weapon of choice in majority of Rochester's fifty-four homicides last year. That is why the Rochester Police Department and clergy members believe getting rid of the guns will help alleviate the violence.Note that Chief David Moore won't be turning in his gun. After all, he's one of the "only ones."
And don't you just love the way everything is now militarized? They can't just have "Police Chaplains"--now they need a "Clergy Response Team." I'll bet early Christians wished the Romans had had one of those!
I guess this is just the good Father Don Wollscheleger's way of rendering unto Caesar...
Good job, fellas. I'm a big admirer of your work.Amazon Dot Commies
ONE of the world's largest online retailers has been forced to remove pages from its website after it linked the Dunblane tragedy with books for gun enthusiasts.Why?
If there had been a few armed "gun enthusiasts" on scene, does anyone really think the coward Thomas Hamilton would have been able to perpetrate a massacre?
We're the Only Ones...Hey, Did Anybody Just Hear Some Glass Break...?
Ricardo Jones and Joseph Leaks had been inmates in the D.C. jail since August, and last month were indicted in connection with a murder. Yesterday, in the jail's most audacious breakout in recent memory, the two stormed into the warden's empty office shortly after 10 a.m., smashed through a reinforced glass window with furniture, scampered onto a canopy and escaped, officials said.Another reason why it makes so much sense to be disarmed in DC--not only can't the cops protect you, when they do manage to catch a bad guy, they can't hold onto him.
Yeah, I'd want to be helpless knowing these two (alleged!) reptiles are slithering around the neighborhood.
This Day in History: June 4
On this day in 1754, during the Seven Years’ War, a 22-year-old lieutenant colonel in the Virginia militia named George Washington begins construction of a makeshift “Fort Necessity.” The fort was built to defend his forces from French soldiers enraged by the murder of Ensign Joseph Coulon de Jumonville while in Washington’s custody. One month later, the French, led by Jumonville’s half-brother, won Washington’s surrender and forced confession to Jumonville’s murder.
Next for UK: Shirt Control
A two-year-old boy was ordered to remove his England football shirt in a pub because the manager feared it could spark trouble.I guess the subjects aren't satisfied with the progression of government bans and wish to speed the pace up a bit on their own.
Riley to Citizens: Disarm When I Order You to or Die
Gun rights activists were up in arms Friday after New Orleans Police Chief Warren Riley said he would confiscate weapons should disaster strike...I love the hyperbole used by "authorized journalists." Were the People truly "up in arms," Chief Riley would be on the run.
“During a circumstance like that, we cannot allow people to walk the street carrying guns…as law enforcement officers we will confiscate the weapon if a person is walking down the street and they may be arrested,” Riley said.
So what will the answer be to his treasonous declaration of war on free Americans: surrender or resistance?
Not "Summer of the Violent Predator"?
Gun violence is on the rise in Canada's major cities, and police are bracing themselves for another season of escalating casualties.Well, Bill, all those attempts to remove inanimate objects from civilized society, in lieu of ostracizing the real causal agents, violent criminals, certainly have proven to be a self-defeating boondoggle.
"Summertime months are peak months for gun violence, and the question is will we face another 'Summer of the Gun,'" Bill Hubble, deputy director of the Criminal Intelligence Service, a federal agency, told CTV News.
But I don't expect you to take a hint from your agency's name. Propaganda slogans like "Summer of the Gun" say all I need to know about your worldview, and why those depending on you for protection have put their faith in a hollow fraud.
