We're the Only Ones Going Clubbing in New York Enough

Disgusting video footage of New York cops clubbing and arresting peaceful Tibetan protesters who were merely walking down the street has gone relatively ignored beyond Youtube.

...One officer identified as "Delgado" is seen in the video pushing people as the group crosses the street.

Another officer, identified as "Serano" is caught threatening to kill two protesters as the cameraman passes. He later admits to the threat and apologizes for it.

Maybe they could send these "Only Ones" to China to help with Olympic security.

To paraphrase the Dalai Lama:

“If someone has a baton and is trying to club you, it would be reasonable to club back with your own baton.”

Amnesty Means Amnesty

A crackdown on guns is meeting some resistance in the District.

Good. What a stupid idea this was. What stupid people run DC.

I especially like the comment by spokesflack Traci Hughes:

[I]f evidence of other crimes is found during voluntary searches, amnesty will be granted for that crime as well.

"Chief Lanier has been clear...Amnesty means amnesty."

So a killer's best legal protection would be to invite them in to see the bodies and present them with the murder weapon and a detailed confession? Smart!

That reminds me of nothing so much as Sgt. Lou's search of Mr. Deets' house on South Park, where he finds severed hands attached to the wall but concludes:

This isn't the guy. The serial killer always cuts off the victims' left hands...Well those aren't left hands. See, on your left hand, the thumb faces to the left. Those are all right hands.

I can hear it now:

I see you like cutting the eyes out of photos of women. My son is a big fan of that too.

We're the Only Ones Forging Ahead Enough

A former Bethel Heights police officer pleaded guilty Tuesday to forgery and was sentenced to probation and 15 days in jail...

He said in court Tuesday he found a blank check and filled in the amount, forged the signature and cashed it at the bank he regularly used...

And this genius thought he'd be "The Only One" to get away with something that unbelievably stupid?

A Variety of Scenarios

While it is doubtful that the Supreme Court decision will contain a long list of specifics in terms of regulation, their opinion should convey the Court's opinion quite clearly and should be broad enough to cover a variety of scenarios.

The Running Man

Clayton Cramer is running for Idaho State Senate (District 22).

I've worked on campaigns before where the candidate had a long record of putting it all on the line for gun owners and was appalled at the lackluster support they received-- most gun-owning constituents did literally nothing.

We're always saying we need more pro-RKBA candidates, yet when we get them never seem to find any time or money to help out. It makes me wonder why any candidate would ever give more than general platitudes when asked about the Second Amendment, or ever go out on a limb once elected--really--why incur the liability?

Gun owners in District 22 now have an opportunity to elect someone capable of leading and teaching on the issue. Do you realize how special, rare and needed that is?

Wouldn't it be nice for just once to vote for someone you know will represent your views, instead of holding your nose and doing the same old "lesser of two evils" routine?

If you've never been involved in a campaign, what's holding you back? They can be fun, are great learning experiences and afford all kinds of opportunities to network with like-minded citizens, building camaraderie, and importantly, hope. I truly never did work on a campaign where I felt I gave more than I received. And local races especially are where an individual can really make a difference.

There will always be excuses to "Let George Do It." Don't miss this chance to involve yourself.

Pardon?

The Justice Department announced Tuesday that President Bush has issued 15 new pardons and commuted one prison sentence.

That's funny...there seems to be a name missing...

This Day in History: March 25

Since my last, things remain nearly in statu quo. The enemy have the best knack at puzzling people I ever met with in my life. They have blown up, burnt, and demolished the Castle totally, and are now all in Nantasket Road, have been there ever since Wednesday, what doing, the Lord knows.
