The Non-Glitzy Safer Streets Newsletter and Commentary


John Longenecker talks about decentralization, cutbacks, trust and sovereignty. He does not talk about Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Pippa Middleton.

I just didn't want anyone disappointed when they click here.

I Get Such a Kick...

...seeing the MSM use the term "Gunwalker" in their headlines. [Read]

It doesn't look like they've posted the video from "The Early Show" yet...

Sending a Signal

"This sends a signal to those who would violently attack the press in the United States that they will not get away with it," Smyth said. [More]
What would have sent a better signal is if one or more of the victims had pulled their own gun and plugged their moron attacker.

But then again, this was California, and "Authorized Journalists" aren't exactly as a group sympathetic to the idea...

Some People Shouldn't Have Guns

No argument here--I've long maintained that.

In Russell Little's case, he took care of that for us:
Authorities in Indiana say a man played a game of Russian roulette with his dog - and lost.

And lest Josh Sugarmann have an Itoldyousogasm, let's balance the scales:
On-duty NYPD cop Philip Chlanda kills himself on city street after Facebook dispute with girlfriend

The Weiner Poll

The trick is giving these Eloi the Morlock government they deserve and leaving the rest of us the hell alone. [Read]

Setting Priorities, "Authorized Journalist"-Style

They have the resources to devote to this crap, but Gunwalker?

No scoop there.

What did the "reporter" in that second link claim?
It's not liberal bias...
I tend to agree.  It's outright subversion, some of it directed by evil squirming brains who actually know better, but much of it just abetted by zealous useful idiots who fancy themselves sophisticated and progressive.

"His Holiness"

I consider myself a Marxist...[More]
Then I consider you an enemy.

NOTE: The USA Today link has gone funky--perhaps Drudge overwhelmed them.  You can get the gist of this story here.

Boardwalk Empire

The NYPD is investigating a wild shooting on the crowded boardwalk in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, Thursday evening that killed one person and injured four others. [More]
In Furious Mike Paradise...?

We're the Only Ones Braced Enough

Chicago Police Brace for 'Flash Mob' Attacks [More]
As for the people those mobs will get to first?

Forget it, Jake, it's Chi-Town.

We're the Only Ones Sticking Up for Our Crew Enough

A former NYPD officer was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison today for robbing drug gangs and holding children at gunpoint as a part of violent stickup crew that operated along the East Coast. [More]
This is my shocked face. And then, of course, there's this:
Jorge Arbaje-Diaz, 33, admitted that he wore his official police uniform and badge, wielding his service pistol during some of the stick-ups...
Huh. How are we to know the good guys from the bad guys?
 
Good thing this happened in Furious Mike Paradise, where they take measures to make sure that "untrammeled, unlimited, unchecked greed" really is unchecked.


Do you get the feeling that some people are trying to start something, or do they really go through life with a sense of oblivious immunity that they can get away with anything?

Do you think they're right to feel that way?

Open letter to Herman Cain on the right to keep and bear arms

If you’re sticking with what you affirmed to Wolf Blitzer—and you did tell him “yes” three times after he gave you a chance to clarify things—that’s something we deserve to know.  If, on the other hand, you “simply misfired in response to Blitzer’s flurry of questions," as some apologists suggest, here’s an opportunity to tell gun-owning voters exactly where you stand—that is, if you’ll take your time and answer these questions unequivocally and with forethought...[More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks a rising "conservative" star  if he really agrees with the Brady Campaign's position of "home rule" on citizen disarmament.
