Fat Beverly Akerman

When I was a youngster, I was teased a lot about my weight. I remember chasing one particular boy almost every day in Grade 7 as he chanted "fat Beverly Akerman." I never caught him, probably because, being heavy, I was too slow. I hadn’t thought of this as bullying before; but of course, that’s what it was, and certainly it marked me. It’s one of many experiences that made me the compassionate person I hope I am...

To me, the answer is simple: no more guns.

Yeah, real compassionate.

Tell me, Beverly: in order to enforce your "compassion," how many of your countrymen who would defy you are you willing to have agents of the state kill or imprison, you dull-witted tool?

You're still "too slow." Don't you have a cud to chew or something?

This is Only a Test...

Note to all South African thugs, murderers, criminals, rapists, terrorists, psychopaths, et al:

You can now take an online test to see if you qualify for your firearm permit.

Or, you can just have a good laugh as you put a few rounds into your next unarmed "law-abiding" victim.

Controversial? LET?

Lawmakers endorse controversial gun-rights bill

...The House bucked the law-enforcement community and endorsed a proposal to let residents brandish firearms if they feel threatened.

Leave it to an "authorized journalist" to find self defense controversial, or surmise with a straight face that it is something a sovereign human being needs to be allowed to do by some damned government edict.

That ridiculous proposition could only be asserted by a liar or a fool.

Naturally, the Mao Mommies have their knickers in a wad:

"Even the most reasonable gun owner doesn't want to see this kind of weapon in circulation," said Shikha Hamilton, president of the Michigan chapter of Million Mom March, a gun control group. "The fact that a law enforcement agency is selling a dangerous weapon is appalling."

I guess that all depends on whether we let you be the one to define what a "reasonable gun owner" is, eh, Comrade Shikha? Kind of like the bodyguard of your pictured co-conspirator in treason, who illegally brought a machine pistol into the Capitol building and was never prosecuted for it?

We're the Only Ones "Old School" Enough

It started with one Hollywood police officer interested in doing the bidding of a New York crime family for cash, authorities said. As the stakes grew, they say he enlisted what he called some "old school" cops he knew would want in.

So in other words, this level of criminality among "The Only Ones" is not something new...

We're the Only Ones Putting Guns on the Street Enough

An audit the city kept secret for more than a decade shows the Chicago Police evidence warehouse was in such disarray in the 1990s that guns vanished from the facility and were later recovered from criminals.

Remember this the next time Gauleiter Daley and his thug lackeys call for even more citizen disarmament.

And then they hide the audit findings--even going so far as to get a court order to squelch being exposed.

What a bunch of...Only Ones.

We're the Only Ones Who ARE the Only Ones

A Botetourt County couple is seeking $10 million from a sheriff's deputy they say stole into their 10-year-old daughter's bedroom one night this month and terrified the girl.

In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Roanoke yesterday, Mark and Cheryl Hunsberger said Mark Hunsberger bolted into their screaming daughter's bedroom at 1:16 a.m. Feb. 2 to find Deputy J.A. Wood, in uniform, aiming a flashlight at the girl while another man tried to yank the bed covers off her.

"The child was terrified, and Mrs. Hunsberger spent some time comforting their daughter," according to the lawsuit. "When Mrs. Hunsberger said something about calling the police, Deputy Wood responded, chillingly, 'I am the police.'"

Don't you just love Sheriff Sprinkle (I wonder if he's related to Annie?) clamming up, only saying "We had reason to be there"?

Yeah?

That's what warrants are for, Ronnie.

I suspect there are some people on this site who would have generated a much different headline.

This Day in History: February 27

In the early-morning hours of February 27, 1776, Commander Richard Caswell leads 1,000 Patriot troops in the successful Battle of Moores Creek over 1,600 British Loyalists. It would go down in history as the first American victory in the first organized campaign of the Revolutionary War.
