More Blood on Our Hands, Damn Us

Bloodbath in downtown NYC after driver shoots pedestrians from his truck [More]

Let me guess: A Trump-supporting Republican NRA member with a concealed carry permit?

UPDATE: Back from some chores.Well the story sure has changed in the past couple of hours since this posted. At the start, de Blasio and Shepard Smith were both tripping all over themselves to assure us this was not an act of terrorism. Then we find out the guns weren't real firearms and the assault weapon was a licensed and registered truck, the driver of which was overheard yelling "Allahu Akbar!" Then the mayor, police commissioner and governor gave an "our thoughts and prayers" platitude/bromide-laden "press conference" to assure us all New Yorkers are tough and there is no wider plot, even though ISIS evidently put out a call for Halloween attacks.

Still to be determined at this writing: Whether I can use the word "rigorous."

UPDATE 2: Yes I can!

Sayfullo, we hardly knew ye.

Who Better to Explain than the Uninformed?

America's political fringe groups explained [More]

I dunno, Ms. Adams. Looking at your inclusion and description of Oath Keepers, it seems like you should have added "by SPLC" to that headline.

First off, it's not a militia and it's purposely not political. Surely it's not too much to expect an "experienced" professional investigative journalist with the resources of CBS at her disposal to check the group's website and click on the Bylaws tab and get to know her subject matter...?

Still, I guess it is "fringe" for someone counting on everyone being equally incurious and lazy. I mean, since when does anyone actually need to know what it is they're swearing to uphold, or that sometimes orders are unlawful and just following them hasn't been an accepted legal defense for some time...?

The Nuclear Option

A sociology professor at the City University of New York (CUNY) recently argued in an extensive series of tweets that “the white-nuclear family” perpetuates racism. [More]

Funny, nothing in her bio about successfully having a family of her own. Perhaps that's why she's so qualified to tell the rest of us what we're doing wrong with ours?
What a... oh, C-U-N-Y...

Now You See It, Now You Don't

Just a few days ago, my dissection of a law professor's lies about the Second Amendment was on the Google News feed:

Now it's been removed.

The masses will only be exposed to the lies. The truth will be confined to a niche echo chamber.

This is by design.

A Prime Viewing Opportunity

#GIVINGTUESDAY

On this global day of giving Facebook and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are matching up to $2 million of funds raised on Facebook for U.S. nonprofits. Facebook is also waiving all fees for donations made to nonprofits on Facebook this #GivingTuesday. Make sure your nonprofit is set up to take advantage of the matching funds by using Facebook’s charitable giving tools. [More]

Get that info to any 501(c)(3) you are a member of that promotes the Second Amendment and immigration sanity and urge them to put in for a handout. It's on November 28 so they have time.

Even if it's disallowed, that and the excuse would make for a story in itself.

Teenage Wasteland

Teens? Or is CBS Baltimore using a code word?

Being from New Jersey they shouldn't mind too much. You know, going from one "gun free zone" to another...

Not the First Time Andy's Been a Dick

Though the 51-year-old actor denies he groped anyone, he does admit to other inappropriate behavior: "I might have kissed somebody on the cheek to say goodbye and then licked them. That's my thing. [More]

Nothing someone whose "thing" is  a hard elbow to the mouth couldn't fix.

And this is hardly, pun intended, the first time his Funny Bone has not been appreciated.

I love the way the shark embryos are devouring each other.

You know who's escaped the current crop of headlines so far?  Besides college professors?

Hip hop/rap moguls and "stars." Tell me rape and pressure to give it up aren't an expected way of life.

Tangentially related (and protestations of being a victim of whistleblower retaliation notwithstanding), a Rose by any other name still smells.

And St. Harvey Martyr pray for us.

Latino Victory!

Gee, "Comments are disabled for this video" and the thumbs up/down thingies don't work. 

I wonder why.

Looks like they're getting an earful on Facebook.

And they're too stupid to cut their losses.

In the long run it doesn't matter. Any guess what things will look like once they get their numbers up to critical mass?

Good thing none of this has anything to do with that "single issue."

UPDATE: The video doesn't work because the idiots realize they went too far and pulled it-- all the while trying to save face and promisng they'll be back with more.

We're the Only Ones Reserved Enough

Ten times, South Florida police departments rejected George Miyares after he failed psychological, polygraph or background tests ... Despite that dubious record ... he made the cut at the Village of Biscayne Park, which hired him as a reserve police officer. [More]

Hey, what else is he going to do? It's not like he's qualified for anything else...

As Opposed to Those Who Merely Lurk

Those of us who are staunch defenders of the First Amendment also tend to be staunch defenders of the Second Amendment. [More]

Not that there are anywhere near as many who qualify for that charactertization as there should be.

Perhaps.  Perhaps not.

Of course the entire mad mass embrace of totalitarianism seems unreal to me.

Certifiable.

Naturally a "progressive." Naturally she opposed a gun range. And naturally, she cited "environmental justice" as a prime consideration.

Looks like she shut down her Facebook. My guess is she's sitting in the closet hyperventilating.

Funny commonality people who want to control us seem to disproportionately share...

[R]easons for Maynard’s suspension included failure to show up to several public events, misrepresenting hours worked and not overlapping hours with Moweaqua’s only other full-time officer.  [More]

How dare you expect me to do my job?  That's discrimination! This "hostile work environment [is] to the detriment of [my] health and well-being."

I'm quitting.

And suing.

Thieves reportedly armed with Tasers assaulted and robbed patrons at California’s Great America, turning the amusement park’s 10th annual Halloween fest into a real-life fright for thousands of visitors and employees, park security and visitors said. [More]

Well, sure. It's a predator empowerment zone. What else would one expect?

Self-Defense Claim a Transparent Second Attempt to Attack Victims

Wiley claims “he was on the ground, unable to move, and was attempting to give up.” But the gun store owner kept approaching and firing, so he was forced to kill him in self-defense. [More]
