While some anti-gun zealots are hard at work blaming the domestic violence victim, or extrapolating that this one incident proves guns are always useless for defense, those decrying armed defense and using this to justify their position need to explain a gross inconsistency. [More]This development called for a second Gun Rights Examiner column today.
Students and faculty at UCLA are stunned following a horrific attack in a campus chemistry lab in which a male student allegedly slashed the throat of a female student. [More]Hey, as long as the blade was under 2½" I don't see what the problem could be...
The glider waits to be...
...stuffed with precious cargo...we'll worry about prying it out later.
The towplane strains to get aloft under the mighty load.
I think I can, I think I can...
Nice finger, idiot. 
The return approach...easy...easy...
The turk..uh...eagle has landed.Chief Locke thrust his knee between [Diane's] legs, and while Diane was still leaning on the hood of the patrol car, Chief Locke began to paw and stroke her, beginning at Diane’s waist and moving down to her buttocks [More]And it's not the first time!
A couple of months before Cook, Locke was sued for sexual misconduct involving another woman...So what's proper "Only One" protocol when Diane's husband objected?
Michael took one step toward Chief Locke. Chief Locke told Michael to “[g]et back in the fucking car” and, at the same time, Chief Locke tasered Michael. Michael never saw the taser.So what could a court decide except:
In evaluating Appellees’ motion for summary judgment, the district court concluded, “[Chief] Locke’s conduct, in tasering and causing Michael’s head to strike the subject vehicles, [was] objectively reasonable as a matter of law.”Everybody knows their place, right?
A police officer shot a woman and the dog she was playing with when the officer thought the dog was attacking the woman... [More]And then we have Dennis Wallace:
I can't say that I would do anything different.A major point being, Dennis, do you think the "Only Ones" would have done anything different if it was you who did the shooting...?
A lawyer for the widow and minor son of the man who was fatally shot Oct. 2 by Bossier City police says his investigation has turned up a witness who claims the man did not reach for the officer's weapon. [More]But hold the phone:
"It's a tragic, tragic event," the police chief said during the news conference. "But it appears the officers followed all procedures that they could.I mean literally, hold the phone:
The deaf woman Richey interviewed also took a photo with her cell phone, which was confiscated by police, the lawyer said.Proper "Only One" protocols, you see. Besides, taking the phone was probably just a matter of making sure they can remember everything properly.
This is a great start, and, if you think about it, the way things ought to be. Compare this to the mindset of some that the proper interaction between police and armed citizens should be through snitch programs and gun "buybacks." [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at something we ought to be encouraging a lot more of.
