Panic at Princeton!

The four kids were apparently rummaging through some sort of trash dumpster and told cops that's where they found the toy gun, police sources told NBCNewYork.com. One of the juveniles picked up the fake gun, put it in his belt and started walking away with the other three kids when a woman spotted the gun in his waistband and called police. [More]
You wanna see something really scary?

Boogedy!

Institutions of higher learning, indeed...

Read His Lips

SOB lied to us about more than "new taxes." [More]

On Your Knees--and Stay There--Or Else

The officer then told me to get on my knees. I asked am I free to go. He then stated no...

I asked if I was not being told why I am being detained, I was going to get up and leave. At this time the officer told me, if you do that you will be tazered and handcuffed. [More]
Just so you know your place.

Title Regained

New Orleans is once again the nation's murder capital after briefly losing the title. [More]
Maybe if Ray Nagin focused less on being a "chocolate city" and more on this...

Scrap that Plan

The bodies of two men believed to have been electrocuted while stealing copper wiring were found early Tuesday on an abandoned driving range in Riverside County, authorities said. [More]
I bring this story up because of this:
A law intended to deter metal theft took effect in December and requires recycling centers to take a customer's photo, thumbprint and identification for every transaction over $20.
Hmmm. Sounds just like our issue.

Doesn't look like it's working at stopping the bad guys, does it?

It's Only "Official" if Non-Officials Do it

Both men were charged late Tuesday with one count of first-degree murder of a peace officer, one count of first-degree murder, and one count of attempted murder. [More]
Now wait a minute--it says the officer was in plain clothes.

If Abbate can be acquitted of "official misconduct" charges because his victim didn't know he was a police officer, how is it that this extra charge can be tacked on here if they didn't know their victim was one?

Forget it Jake. It's Chi-Town.

Speaking of which, that "gun control" they have there works wonders, doesn't it?

We're the Only Ones Defending Ourselves Enough

"What went through your mind when that happened?" Hickey asked.
"That I was receiving an injury due to someone throwing me," Abbate answered. [More]
Watch "Only One" Abbate get "thrown"--no wonder he was in such fear:

No surprise this cowardly, brutal pig is a liar, too.
And importantly, he was acquitted of "official misconduct" because he didn't identify himself as a police officer. I guess the fact that he acts like this because he (still) is one isn't important.
UPDATE: Just to clarify, and I do so because the first comment seems to imply a belief that all charges were dismissed, Abbate was acquitted of the misconduct charges but found guilty of aggravated battery. And if you ask me, the stinking feral hog deserved to be charged with attempted murder. I include links for a purpose, and often limit my comments to particular aspects that I think need to be pointed out.

The Tinder Box

Let's see...

The economy's going belly-up...

The budget is a mess...

Police "services" are being cut off...

Gangs exist in such numbers to essentially constitute an army of occupation...

The citizens are not allowed to own optimal firearms for protection from mass assailants...

A hot, dry summer is coming...

And they're out of water.

What could go wrong?

Federal Court Says Self-Defense Ban by States is Constitutional

States can not only ban guns, they can ban self-defense. That's what a court just ruled. And we're told it is the "conservative" position... [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner looks at a Seventh Circuit decision acknowledging a government power to ban not just firearms, but self-defense.

Also in today's offering:
  • CA .50 caliber ban upheld
  • Olofson appeal rejected
  • Ohio concealed carry in restaurants bill introduced
  • Alerts from Oregon and Nevada

This Day in History: June 3

Yet, as the Enemy, on their part, are using every devise they are capable of, to seduce both Soldiers and Citizens from our Service into their's and have succeeded but too well. [More]
