This is a placeholder for now because I have not had ads on this blog for years. In case I ever start up again, this will be the policy in effect:
The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don't think we're getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you're stupid, too. I have had a few ads on this site in the past and may do so again if I think it's worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn't buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don't mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now--you're not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer.
About "The Only Ones"
The purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it's also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they're involved in gun-related incidents.
Comment House Rules
Keep them on topic. No spam. No threats against anyone except me. Do not feed trolls--I'll take out the trash. Try to keep it clean. I'm the final arbiter. If you don't like the rules, start your own damn blog.
Link Policy
WarOnGuns reciprocates links with liberty-oriented sites promoting the right to keep and bear arms for all peaceable individuals. If you have linked to me and don't see your site below, it's probably just because I haven't noticed it yet. Shoot me an email via the "Contact Form" (see above in this sidebar) if you want to fix that.
As a general rule I remove links for blogs that have been inactive for over one year.
I have zero clue what is going on in this matter and find it hard to believe the media and this mother is an idiot. I will state if this guy has proved to have been one to harm this little girl. He should be burned alive at the stake in public to be a warning to others who would do something like this. By burning him at the stake will allow him to do something useful with what little he has with his life. Cruel and unusual? I believe criminals set the example by their own criminal conduct.
Some women are attracted to bad men, because bad men won't have high expectations of them. Even so, if you are a parent or guardian, you are expected to be judgmental about SOME things.
I note that the story did not state what "sex crime" George Kennedy is accused of.
It seems doubtful it was one of those 18.1 year old boyfriend with 16.9 year old girlfriend things, but with so much ambiguity in the so-called laws, some journalistic clarity would be appreciated.
My wife was once called to jury duty, and the quote "Judge not, lest ye also be judged" came to her mind. She was worried about disobeying Jesus' teaching on pride and thinking oneself a better person (perhaps without sin) than one's neighbor. The judgementalism Christ spoke against was demonstrated with the Pharisee and the tax collector. I explained that this was much different than being impaneled to duly judge by the facts of the case whether someone was guilty of a crime. I also noted the verse that says, "By their fruits you shall know them." Now that's not judgemental pride or self-righteousness; that's being wise as to whether someone is trustworthy with your kids. Jesus was never against that kind of judgement.

Not "judgmental?" She has NO judgment, if it is true she allowed this person to be alone with her daughter - ever. This is just sickening.
And yes, far too many women actually seek out these sick monsters to befriend or live with.
Beyond understanding. But then, so is a great deal of human behavior.
