We're the Only Ones Serial Enough

Police Sergeant Had Secret Life as Serial Rapist
Decorated Cop and Devoted Husband, Jeffrey Pelo, Sentenced to Over 400 Years in Prison [More]

I don't get it--this happened in Illinois?

Why the hell didn't his victims just:
1. Vomit
2. Surrender
3. Scream (while poking with "a rat tail comb") or
4. Pull the covers over their heads?

With all these options, he still got away with it?

The Pledge of Polyphemus

Because you have pleased me, I will eat you last.

But eat you I will...

When Only Ones Collide

An NYPD cop whose wife called 911 for help against a gang of thugs says he was brutally beaten by baton-wielding fellow officers who stormed his Queens home. [More]

I'm confused--which one was the gang of thugs again?

And how do you figure out which ones get to lift a finger and which don't...?

Why won't NRA give proper credit in McDonald case?

I felt it necessary to go over those credentials to establish that we're not talking about someone with an axe to grind or any agenda other than to advance the right to keep and bear arms. Overall, NRA has had no stronger supporter over the years. For him to characterize NRA's credit-claiming as a "stunt" is no small matter. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column wonders why some continually refuse to give credit where it's due.

We're the Only Ones "For the Children" Enough

She is charged with firing a gun in her home in January. The shot went through a window toward children who were playing in the front yard. [More]

Two DUI convictions, lying to incriminate with the most foul of accusations...what a classy lady.

No wonder the Sheriff and all the California antis think people like her are the "Only Ones" who should be trusted to go about bearing arms.

Note to "fiance": Run, you moron, now, while you still can with no legal claims, and before the accusations against you start up.

We're the Only Ones Having Seizures Enough

According to an order filed by Judge Robert Foster Jr. in court last week, there is no evidence that the money seized was related to any criminal activity or that the clinic was operating illegally. [More]

God forbid the government should allow people to obtain pain relief.

This Day in History: August 31

This skirmish was later known as the action at Indian Field or Indian Bridge. [More]
