We're the Only Ones Not Reckless Enough

The judge overseeing the case, Gustin L. Reichbach, displays portraits of the civil rights figures Paul Robeson and Nelson Mandela on his courtroom walls.

Pointing to those portraits and speaking in passionate tones, Mr. Ricco compared Lieutenant Walton Tuesday to the heroes of the civil rights struggle. Invoking his client’s public service, he said, “This is not a reckless person you’re talking about here.”

Yeah, you shoot an unarmed man multiple times because he stood up to your thug bullying and you're some kind of damned civil rights hero. And woe unto any New Yorker who dares lift a finger against an anointed "Only One."

Don't worry overmuch, Shamik. Your esteemed judge has pointedly displayed portraits of black communists on his walls (and leave it to the "authorized journalists" at The New York Times to refer to these subversive apologists for totalitarianism as "heroes of the civil rights struggle"). You couldn't ask for a better set up than that.

Red's Trading Post Videos

They've posted two new video ads defending themselves against BATFU harassment.

Ryan Horsley's got guts and he's articulate. He's defending a way of life and a fixture in his community from destructive invading parasites, and he shouldn't have to stand alone.

We gun owners are quick to pass judgment on dealers who don't stand up to intimidation, like those who caved in to Bloomberg's lawsuits. We need to be equally as quick to support those who refuse to roll over. This guy goes one step further and swings back defiantly.

WarOnGuns will definitely keep an eye on further developments.

We're the Only Ones Gaming Enough

Police who have raided vice-ridden Mexico City neighborhoods in a push against drug violence hope to take guns off the streets by offering to swap them for computers and Xbox video game consoles.

Tell you what, Chief Ortega: Turn your Los Unicos into virtual first-person shooters and then we'll talk.

We're the Only Ones Tipped Enough

The program, a partnership between Crime Stoppers and law enforcement agencies, will offer a $500 reward when an anonymous tip leads to the arrest of a person in possession of an illegal firearm...

Initial rewards in the fund will be paid through the sale of candies, confections and other items bought by prisoners in the Marion County Jail.

So if I want to get rid of a rival gang member, all I need to do is phone in an anonymous tip and let "The Only Ones" do my dirty work for me? Or if I'm a cop and I don't really have enough probable cause to stop and search someone, I can do the same? Nice end run around the Constitution, that one!

How fitting that this criminal activity will be financed by criminals--oh, and also prisoners...

Destroy All Monsters!

If Godzilla were a sportsman, the .50-caliber sniper rifle would be his instrument.

This is a weapon that can shoot down airplanes or helicopters from more than a mile away.

I'd settle for him just stepping on your lying punk newspaper. Liberty was supposed to be safeguarded by a free press dedicated to exposing government abuses that threatened it. Instead, the "authorized journalists" have partnered with tyranny, becoming propagandists and co-conspirators in the enslavement of their countrymen.

That's a much more fearsome monster than a mere 300-foot lizard.

This Day in History: March 30

Hoping to keep the New England colonies dependent on the British, King George III formally endorses the New England Restraining Act on this day in 1775. The New England Restraining Act required New England colonies to trade exclusively with Great Britain as of July 1. An additional rule would come into effect on July 20, banning colonists from fishing in the North Atlantic.
