This is a placeholder for now because I have not had ads on this blog for years. In case I ever start up again, this will be the policy in effect:
The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don't think we're getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you're stupid, too. I have had a few ads on this site in the past and may do so again if I think it's worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn't buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don't mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now--you're not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer.
About "The Only Ones"
The purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it's also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they're involved in gun-related incidents.
Comment House Rules
Keep them on topic. No spam. No threats against anyone except me. Do not feed trolls--I'll take out the trash. Try to keep it clean. I'm the final arbiter. If you don't like the rules, start your own damn blog.
Link Policy
WarOnGuns reciprocates links with liberty-oriented sites promoting the right to keep and bear arms for all peaceable individuals. If you have linked to me and don't see your site below, it's probably just because I haven't noticed it yet. Shoot me an email via the "Contact Form" (see above in this sidebar) if you want to fix that.
As a general rule I remove links for blogs that have been inactive for over one year.
I read the story and then the comments. After some of those comments, I wouldn't want most of those people on my jury if I was on trial. One even stated he didn't need a trial because he confessed. Jesus wept, what happened to innocent until proven guilty. We treat our criminals better than our government treat our sick and disabled veterans. He should never have been deployed after suffering a brain injury in Iraq.
I think I understand why he hasn't been named, for the security of him and more importantly, his family. He's also under the jurisdiction of the UCMJ. The penalty for murder is "as a courts martial may direct". Which can include the death penalty.
It might be trying to protect his family back home. Once his name is out there everyone will jump. Maybe giving them time to get safe. That's why I would do it, but that's me.
Look at all the fanatics who worship The One and would go apeshit violent if someone did something to him. Do you think the government and the press would withhold the name of the assailant out of concern for his family's safety? If that's the issue, get them into immediate protective custody--I don't buy that this is a legitimate reason, and if that's the excuse, we'll NEVER be able to learn who he is.
My cynical side says there is a political reason behind this more than anything.
The bastards are lying again. They'd like nothing more than to pin something like this on a white Christian American. The fact that they don't, tells me that the one who did this isn't of a convenient ethnic or religious persuasion for the turd that was unlawfully planted in our White House.
The truth will come out. They ain't buying this one at sea.

Just guessing, Dave, just guessing.
1.he's Muslim,
2.he's black, and
3.he shouted "Allah Akbar" before the shooting started.
Why else would he be hidden so well from the cameras?

Yep. According to his lawyer it's because "there's concern that his family could face repercussions."
Here is a link to the article about his lawyer.

Yup. My first thought too. Muslim/Black.

Well, it looks like he ain't black and he doesn't look stupid enough to be Muslim. Will wonder never cease?
