We're the Only Ones Stunning (But Still on Active Duty) Enough

The judge ruled Hudec used his stun gun after the boy was strip-searched and while he was completely compliant during the Dec. 24, 2003, incident.

"It is a situation where an officer used a prohibited weapon simply to punish," said Kvill. "The action of Hudec was a shocking abuse of police powers."

Hudec, who remains on active duty, was charged following an internal police investigation.

"A shocking abuse of police powers." Good one!

I'm trying to figure out where I'll position this in the next "Only Ones" Carnival--not on the midway, definitely a sideshow, maybe we'll bill him as "The Amazing Electro"...

I've started getting some submissions, so the show will go on. If you want to participate and direct some traffic to your blog, the cut-off is tomorrow night.

The Heart of the Problem

Archye Leacock, executive director of the Institute for the Development of African American Youth, which administers Don't Fall Down in the Hood, said the heart of the problem of youth violence was lack of opportunities.

It couldn't have anything to do with the possibility that some of these young worthies are not only unemployable due to lack of skills and motivation, but would be downright scary and lethally dangerous liabilities to have anywhere around, could it Archye?

Rec centers? Ones that need to be open 24 hours? Is this where we bust into the chorus from "Gee, Officer Krupke"?

I'd ask where the hell their parents are, but that's pretty obvious.

It's also pretty obvious that imposing "gun control" on people who aren't out bustin' a cap --that would be you and me--will have no effect on urban youth violence other than ensuring a disarmed victim pool.

"Lack of opportunities." There are plenty of people in this world who have had less, and they haven't turned into sociopaths. Keep blaming everything but individuals refusing to accept personal responsibility for their freedom because they've fallen for the siren song of socialist policies and become addicts to them, Archye. That's "the heart of the problem," combined with false leaders keeping them from understanding this truth, like you.

"More Effective"

Canadians can be assured that its new government remains committed to making gun control more effective and it continues to develop measures that will prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands.

Those would be your hands, Canadian citizens...

Shameless Plug: "In Search of the Second Amendment"

A growing body of serious research, led by eminent professors, historians, lawyers and Constitutional scholars, is providing overwhelming evidence that “the people” of the Second Amendment refers to you and me.

"In Search of the Second Amendment" is David Hardy's new documentary, and also the title of my Rights Watch column reviewing it for the March 2007 issue of GUNS Magazine, on sale now at truth-seeking newsstands throughout the Republic.

WarOnGuns is, that is...

Actually, it's 2nd anniversary was yesterday, so I missed my own "birthday."

How pathetic is that?
