Citizens should arrive at the Civic Center with photo ID and try to limit their baggage as much as possible with only essential needs including prescription medication. No weapons, including firearms. This no firearm rule applies to those persons with Concealed Handgun licenses.And leave the driving to us!
Police were searching for the person who shot the manager of a Dairy Queen during a robbery attempt Tuesday night on the city's north side.
A 10-year-old Hilton Head Island boy has been suspended from school for having something most students carry in their supply boxes: a pencil sharpener.So they called the cops. They filled out a police report. They suspended him. And best of all:
The problem was his sharpener had broken, but he decided to use it anyway.
The boy -- a fourth-grader described as a well-behaved and good student -- cried during the meeting with his mom, the deputy and the school's assistant principal.HA! They broke him! That has to be done first, before the rebuilding can be done, you know.
District spokesman Randy Wall said school administrators are stuck in the precarious position between the district's zero tolerance policy against having weapons at school and common sense.Bullshit, Randy. There was no "common sense" applied here. There was nothing "precarious" about this, nothing "reasonable." If you maintain otherwise, you're just an ass-covering liar, an enabler of insidious evil, and a punk.
"We're always going to do something to make sure the child understands the seriousness of having something that could potentially harm another student, but we're going to be reasonable," he said.
To ensure excellence in education for every learner that prepares each with the knowledge, skills and personal responsibility to succeed in a rapidly changing global society.Which of course, means traditional American values are vulgar and regressive. Global values are where it's at. Just add a dash of "tolerance and diversity" (for everything that is approved for collective indoctrination).
But that may not be enough in a year where home-state presidential nominee Barack Obama is generating huge Democratic enthusiasm at the top of the ticket.Good. Mark Kirk deserves to go down in flames. And then pointed and laughed at as he skulks away.
Their new "Meet Dion" short film ( thisisdion.ca)reveals the professor's reassuringly outdoorsy side; as he snowshoes and fishes with his trusty dog Kyoto, you almost begin to see him as the kind of guy you could swing by to pick up in your 4x4 early on some nippy morning in hunting season. Of course, once the footage runs out, you realize that before you could escape his driveway, Mr. Dion would start asking uncomfortable questions about fuel efficiency, and asking to see the registry papers for the contents of your gun rack.Kyoto?
The United States leads the world in economic loss from deaths caused by armed crime, according to a global survey released Friday.I guess if you believe armed crime is the cause, and not a symptom of failed socialist policies like these one-worlders want to impose everywhere, you could make a case.
Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party nominee for president, has invited GOP Congressman Ron Paul to be his running mate in the upcoming election.I know this says his presumptive running mate, Wayne Root is OK with this, but what about the LP delegates who approved the ticket? I don't pretend to know how that process works, but I'd assume party leadership is more than simply placing a crown on one's own head. I also find it more than curious that there is currently nothing about this on the LP website, or blog, or press release page.
A Memphis police officer was charged with second-degree murder Wednesday after a short-term affair with a woman ended with multiple gunshots...How many times must we demonstrate that "Only Ones" are more responsible and trustworthy with guns than you or I could ever hope to be?
He has been suspended with pay pending an administrative hearing.

The ability for law-abiding citizens to be able to carry firearms in National Parks has moved forward a major notch today in the US Senate!!We shall see. Anybody know if they're going to being it to the floor before the elections?
While there are still many steps left to go, this bill passing out of a Senate committee by such a huge **bipartisan** margin (18 to 5!!) has got to send a very strong message to the Department of the Interior, which is considering updating its regulations to allow carry as well.

On Thursday, the 35 police were charged with attempted murder and drug crimes and moved from jail to a state prison. And it was just one of several cases of high-profile police corruption or misconduct this week.Damned American gun shows.
