We're the Only Ones Protective Enough

The armed criminals walked in, held up the cashier and then noticed a U.S. Capitol police captain who happened to be there.

Investigators said they took his badge and gun and then ran away.

"The Only Ones" can't even protect themselves, but we're supposed to believe they can protect us...?

We're the Only Ones Charged Enough

Ericsson is charged with two counts of grand theft by possession of stolen items. Both charges are connected with former Idaho Falls prosecutor Kimball Mason.

This guy's attitude plays right into our recurring theme here:

I’m the only one being charged. I think that says something right there.

Yes it does. And I couldn't have said it better myself.

Kathryn Johnston's Gun to Blame for Her Death

A handgun is not some useful tool that offers its owner safety and piece of mind. If it were, a gun-toting old lady in Atlanta would have survived Thanksgiving... Had she been without her precious gun, she’d no doubt be alive today.

One lying Constable shills for other lying constables.

Actually, I'm surprised it took the "it's her gun's fault" thesis this long to ooze to the surface.

What a disgusting and contemptible excuse for a man. No wonder he runs behind the skir...uh...slacks of a woman who is hostile to men--particularly the gun-owning kind, to bolster his snotty self-loathing.

He's obviously trolling for angry emails, presumably so he can show his editor how important he is--and he's counting on most of them being expressed in ways that "sophisticates" can feel superior to. If you're inclined to write but don't want to play his game, allow me to make a suggestion: Just send him the link to "The Anti-Gun Male" (http://www.gunowners.org/wv36.htm) with no other comment.
