We're the Only Ones Contradictory Enough

A Boston police officer under investigation for allegedly giving contradictory testimony in a 2008 federal case is now being accused of misleading a Suffolk Superior Court during a jury trial, which ended in the conviction and a four- to six-year prison sentence for a Dorchester man. [More]

There are jurors who automatically assign more credibility to "authority" figures. That there are others who automatically disbelieve cops is hardly the issue.

It sure complicates the truth...

The Obvious Solution

Terrence Blalock, 27, and Chester Johnson, 24, both of Dorchester, were charged with assault with intent to murder and illegal gun possession in the shooting Saturday on Eustis Street, near Dudley Square in Roxbury. [More]

You know what would solve this?

Limiting you and me to one gun a month.

Hey, Deval Patrick says so, and who are we to disagree?

Torpedoes Away!

Paul Valone has more on that NRA campaign finance deal we talked about yesterday. [Read]

If you didn't see my take, and you want to, it's here.

Count Me in the Minority

Americans Should be Allowed to Have Guns, Say Large Majorities [More]

Sorry, but I don't recognize anyone with authority to "allow" that. And unalienable rights aren't subject to majority rule.

As I said here, because I believe it, "At some point we must acknowledge that, democracy notwithstanding, two cannot lawfully withhold rights from one, NOR MAY THEIR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES."

This may seem like nitpicking over grammar, but establishing the proper mindset is crucial.

A Clean Sweep?

Among the goods seized were a .38-caliber revolver, Outlaws meeting notes, records identifying officers and associates of the gang and a veritable gift shop of vests, patches, pins and T-shirts. [More]

What?

Here's the latest news on this...

We're the Only Ones On a Spree Enough

A Nassau County corrections officer was arrested Wednesday after a shooting rampage that killed her former lesbian lover and uncle and injured her grandfather, cops said. [More]

See? If we can't even trust a government-employed guardian with a gun, how much less trustworthy are you?

[Via Harvey]

We're the Only Ones Doing Nothing Wrong Enough

"He did nothing wrong," police union president Rich O'Neill said...[More]

One of these days, the crowd is going to react.

How many of us can say without hesitation we'd put ourselves in harm's way to try to intervene and stop them?

[Via Harvey]

A Long Term Solution

Gang suppression may temporarily lower violence...[More]

But what we really need if we ever hope to achieve a "final solution" is UN-backed global "gun control"!

Even if voluntary consent is given, can we establish with certainty it's informed consent, as opposed to, say, exploitable zealotry? It's unacceptable to expose real guinea pigs to potential risks, but human guinea pigs are OK? Where are the anti-capitalists protesting "corporate greed" when you really need them? [More]
