You haven't got anything to hide, do you?

We're the Only Ones Released Enough
A Massachusetts state trooper who is a decorated war hero was released on personal recognizance today after being arraigned on charges that he allegedly drove drunk, crashed his car on a Dorchester street, pointed his gun at a Boston police officer, and later fired his gun into the ceiling of his home. [More]Well, heck, it's Boston. I'm sure they'd release you and me on our own recognizance under the same circumstances--you know, if we were "Only Ones."
And after all, who has just demonstrated himself to pose no risk? I'm glad both the lede and the video caption tell us what a "hero" this guy is. We have so few of those these days...

We're the Only Ones Tested Enough

We're the Only Ones Providing Security Enough

We're the Only Ones Non-Electrifying Enough

Because "Only Ones" are so much better trained and qualified...

We're the Only Ones...
..."Rush Hour" Enough
A Laredo police officer has been convicted in a 2008 undercover drug and weapons case in which prosecutors say loads of cocaine were escorted through rush-hour traffic....Infatuated Enough
According to the Kentucky State Police arrest warrant served in April, Thompson allegedly became threatening toward the woman in 2009, making harassing and threatening phone calls to her, many of which were recorded, after an intimate relationship between the two had ended....for the Birds Enough
The warrant also states Thompson allegedly held a gun to the back of the woman’s head while at the dispatch center.
Lund says he was feeding ducks at the park when officers drew their guns, surrounded him and ordered him to place his hands above his head. Lund said he told police he could not raise his arms because of a disability, but was tackled, handcuffed, thrown to the ground and dragged across concrete....Erasing Enough

We Have Met the Enemy...
In fact, the bill enhances A.T.F. enforcement and oversight powers...[More]But dealers can get graduated penalties and "willfulness" can factor in, so the trade-off is deemed worth it.
By some.
Others of us have a different idea. Unfortunately, this "compromise" reflects the reality that not enough have the same idea and care enough to do a damn thing about it.
"Profiles in Apathy."
Right, Pogo?

The Uneasy Reality
As authorities searched for the assailants in recent stabbings at two area colleges, college officials and security specialists said the attacks underlined the uneasy reality that even secluded campuses are susceptible to violence from outsiders and can reasonably do only so much to prevent it. [More]Prevent it?
It seems like they do everything in their power to encourage it.
Tell you what, eggheads--don't do us any favors. Don't protect us.
Just stay the hell out of our way while we're protecting ourselves and we'll get along just fine.
What's that? You won't do that?
Well then you'd better get used to more uneasy realities. Because that's the only thing you're guaranteeing.
See?
What's with college students these days? Don't they know the university prohibits campus violence?
Can't they read?

Report shows Mayors Against (your) Guns desperation to be relevant
It's no accident that the violent crime plague is the worst in cities already under the (illusion of) control of Bloomberg & Co. Their "solution" is to extend their enlightened rule over the rest of us, who have no problem controlling ourselves and who just want them to leave us alone. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a report that illustrates, more than anything, just how clueless the gungrabbers really are.
