We're the Only Ones Choking You Up Enough

Now Trooper Daniel Martin, who placed his hands around the neck of a paramedic, is now the subject of an internal investigation, although he and his partners remain on duty. [More]

Be sure and watch the video, too.

Yep, even EMTs rushing patients to the hospital must bow and grovel before the mighty "Only Ones."

Keep winning friends and influencing people, boys. Don't worry, I'm sure hand throttling a man's windpipe is approved department procedure. Especially as you endanger the life of a citizen in need of critical aid, who, for all you know, could die from any delay of treatment.

But more important everybody respect your authoritah.

Keep drawing more and more previously unengaged citizens into your embrace.

Squeeze, baby, squeeze.

Until our eyeballs bleed.

UPDATE: CTone sends us the paramedic's written attestation.

I Hate to Say "I Told You So"

An Oklahoma City pharmacist is facing a first-degree murder charge after shooting back during an attempted robbery. [More]

But I told you so.

Now everything he said can and will be used against him in a court of law.

"First-degree murder."

I'm sure if an "Only One" had done the same, it would be within department policy.

What's the Magic Word?

No guns in parks here, please [More]

Say "please" to the predators. Maybe if you beg and grovel and blubber and plead and howl in animal terror and agony enough, it'll work.

Then again, maybe it won't. Maybe it'll just enhance their experience.

In any case, the response from someone who is not a degenerate Eloi coward must be a polite, but firm "No," becoming less polite and more firm the more this doughy and contemptible evolutionary dead end whines.

The "No Fly List" Loophole

Sweeten used a co-worker's driver's license and presented it as her own when she bought an airline ticket and flew to Orlando, Fla. on Tuesday, Henry said, adding Sweeten also used the license to check into the Grand Floridian Hotel at Disney World. [More]

TSA. What a joke.

Hey, maybe they ought to do something like this with guns...

Their Intent

"Their intent was that this is going to somehow stop crime or stop killings and murders," Hart said. "That's like trying to stop a clock to save time." [More]

That's not their intent, Mr. Hart.

But they're perfectly happy to have people think that it is. It keeps the whole misdirected dialog based on their terms, and the whole rigged game based on their rules.

Larry Hincker Award Finalists

CCAC also told Brashier that the college must pre-approve any distribution of literature to fellow students, and that pamphlets like hers would not be approved, even insisting that Brashier destroy all copies of her pamphlet.

Brashier reports that she was also interrogated about why she was distributing the pamphlets, whether she owned a licensed firearm and had ever brought it to campus (she has not), whether she carries a concealed firearm off campus, and whether she disagrees with the existing college policy banning concealed weapons on campus. [More]

Why do fun opportunities like this always seem to happen to someone else...?

Oh, look:

Alex Johnson, President, Community College of Allegheny County: 412-237-4413; ajohnson@ccac.edu
Elmer Haymon, President, Community College of Allegheny County-Allegheny Campus: 412-237-2543; ehaymon@ccac.edu

We can still have some fun.

Frickin' nitwits.

A Trusted Fund

Crist vetoed only two items: a small pay cut for some state workers and a measure to take $6 million from a trust fund that's used to process concealed weapons permits. [More]

There's been a lot of brouhaha on this, and it's been covered by others. I mention it here because many of you have emailed me tips over the past few days.

In truth, it has just not been that important a story to me, because I never signed up to trust the damn government with any of this in the first place.

Did German 'Smart Gun' Fail on Video?

Watch and listen carefully at about 52 seconds into the video. Did you hear a click when the company representative took the gun back and tried to demonstrate it would not fire? [More]

Oops.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner brings you a video demonstration the manufacturer may not want you to see. That's why I suggest spreading this as far and wide as possible as quickly as possible--and saving the video to your hard drive in the (likely?) event YouTube removes it.

Also read the newest offering from Liberty Belles, hear a question from Oregon and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Tell a friend? If you're going to, I suggest doing so quickly.

This Day in History: May 28

Industry will supply our Necessities, if it is not cramped by injudicious Laws -- such as Regulations of Prices &c., Embargoes &c. These discourage Industry and turn that Ingenuity which ought to be employed for the good of the ge general Good, into Knavery. [More]
