Rules of Engagement

Stewart Rhodes at Oath Keepers expands on a conversation Mike Vanderboegh and I were having about the application of the laws of war against Americans. It's a good read that links to an important paper on "enemy combatant status." [Read]

Can I download it to my old pull-start, steam-powered clamshell with the oversized old people buttons? You kids these days with your new-fangled ... why, when I was your age ...

Seriously, though, this looks pretty swell for those of you who use phones for something besides necessary calls.

Home Alone

A teenager who was home alone on Tuesday afternoon fired a gun at a prowler who was also armed, law officers said.  [More]
Outrageous!  Why aren't the parents in jail?

And what's this "boy" crap? He's 18.

The people who fee this way are going to get what they deserve. And how.  Unfortunately, they're going to drag the rest of us down with them. [Read]

That's OK.  When it's crunch time, they'll make the case they're too big to fail, and put the forced squeeze on the rest of us to bail 'em out.

Stop the Threat: Parking Lot Hold Up

From American Trigger Sports Network:
In this week's crime re-enactment, a grandmother drops her grandson off after a day at the park.  Driving home, she reflects upon her days activities when her phone rings. Fearing the worst, she discovers she can not reach her phone. She pulls over in a lit parking lot to retrieve her phone, but falls prey to armed men who lay in wait.
Stop the Threat host, James B. Towle, and guests Rob Pincus, Michael Carrizales and Wes Doss weigh in on this incident and offer their expert comments in a lively discussion.

Over Target

With all the flak from "old guard" Republicans and the Wall Street Journal, Rand Paul must have gotten too close.  Interesting how many  HuffPo comment posters agree with that tool McCain.

For McGowan, the positive test was her second — and she testified before the commission that she was formerly a “regular” cocaine user, the ruling states. Attempts to reach all the officers last night were unsuccessful.
Their union-paid attorney, Alan Shapiro, called the ruling “enormously gratifying.” [More]

This Day in History: March 8

Having been particular in desiring Major Magill to inform me what corps of militia, from this State, joined General Greene, he accordingly mentioned, that seven hundred under General Stevens, and four hundred from Botetourt, had actually joined him; that Colonel Campbell was to join, him that day with six hundred, and that Colonel Lynch, with three hundred from Bedford, was shortly expected: the last three numbers being riflemen.
