FBI search for domestic menace fails to account for own threat


It really seems a case of "Who will guard the guards?" along with "The inmates are running the asylum." Functionaries who are themselves under official suspicion are officially suspicious of everyone else. And a government that is out of control is fixated on controlling everyone and everything, right down to the most ridiculous level of details. [More]
My latest JPFO Alert notes perhaps the threat they're looking for lurks in the mirror...and yeah, that giant inflatable pink pig is one of the things government looks for to decide who to suspect--really.  Read on.

Larry "owns" MSNBC.   [Watch]

If this frustrated Rosenthal bore is the best the antis have, I love it.  What a dull broken record. And what does "white" have to do with anything?  Does he get his talking points from the same place as the racist misogynists at CSGV?

In re the technology canard, these people are simply ignorant. It must be a Prozi media thing.

And the sputtering by the host, who suddenly realizes he stepped in it on a First Amendment analogy, is pretty funny.  I think saying "Platt" instead of "Pratt" shows he got shook up.

We're the Only Ones Backward Enough

... he claimed the dog was about to bite him and shot the dog to defend himself ... the necropsy report by a veterinarian proves that Candy was shot in the back of the head. [More]
No wonder they had to get rid of him for HIS safety...

We're the...

I MEAN IT! [More]

I don't want

any more

of these!

I'm not even looking for them. The last two just kind of jumped out at me when  I was looking at something else.

Funny, what you can do with selective edits... [More]

And what you can do without...

We're the Only Ones 'til Death Do Us Part Enough

The Indianapolis police officer killed last week by her ex-husband, a fellow officer, was "extremely afraid" for her, according to a petition for a personal protection order she filed last month. [More]
I thought I just blogged this the other day, but that was about another couple of "Only Ones."

Can you imagine what we'd be hearing if I'd been able to produce links to two comparable stories about NRA members?

I wonder if Renfield would be interested...?

Amanda's Priorities

The proposed ban on converted semi-automatics without the safety feature is a priority for the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence, said the group's legislative expert, Amanda Wilcox. [More]
Why, Amanda?

And what are your qualifications in re firearms design and actual gun safety?

Universal Permitting

If we're going to be consistent, shouldn't we extend permission to the other articulated rights? [More]

We're the Only Ones SWI* Enough

Just imagine how much worse it would have been had he not been a highly trained professional. [More]

Another fine example, #myNYPD!

Although how he managed that with a12-Lb. pull is a bit of a mystery.

Actually, this whole story raises more questions than it answers.

* Figure it out.

Her Biggest Regret...

...is that she's taking heat for it, the administration, the Democrats and their media damage control/spin/deflect team efforts notwithstanding. [More]

That and their plans fell through to blame it all on a YouTube video nobody'd ever heard of until they pointed it out.


Otherwise, what difference does it make?

We're the Only Ones Apart from All Others Enough

Seven police employees, including four sworn officers, have been disciplined for keeping parts of confiscated firearms that had been ordered destroyed... [More]
I just sent an email to the "real reporter" who filed a story just begging for more details a watchdog press would figure the public deserved to know about, simply as a matter of course.

In re David Petzal, well, if you'll recall...

Tightening the Screws

Kurt notes Obama BATFU functionaries ratcheting things down in his latest JPFO Alert. [More]

I hope you're sharing these.

"Crazy Carry"

Oh, look: Francis Wilkinson is pleasing Master again. [More]

I wonder if he'd be interested in taking my "Only Ones" vs. "Concealed Carry Killers" challenge, and comparing both numbers and rates...

Speaking of crazy, why do all these Bloomberg lickspittle "journalists" remind me of Dwight Fry's Renfield?

There Oughtta Be a Law!

I guess it doesn't strike anyone that telling someone with a rifle to "Back away" a few feet wouldn't really make anyone any safer? I'm sure once they pass this, predators will fall all over each other rushing to comply. [More]

In fairness, I once told an unsavory-looking character -- and admittedly, that was my subjective judgement -- to "Back off!" and even held out my hand with a stiff arm and used the command tone to discourage him from getting within striking range.  And I was already running through my next potential moves if that didn't work. So I think any of us have the right to warn against intrusion into immediate personal space and to react if that's ignored.

But barring a clear boundary violation, it's tough to see how prior restraints like what are being discussed here aren't overkill. It sounds like when the woman said to keep away, they did.  It's the ones who don't that should concern us, and passing silly rules won't stop them.

Who Will Watch the Watchdogs?

If we can't trust Inspector Generals, who can we trust? [More]

Who would ever think they were influenced by personal and professional incentives?
