We're the Only Ones Job-Related Enough

The former Punta Gorda police officer who shot and killed a retired librarian during a training exercise last August is suing his department’s pension board for refusing to grant him a disability pension for post-traumatic stress he claims to suffer as a result of the killing. [More]

We've talked about this shameless, incompetent parasite before. It looks to me like he's also going for sympathy in his pending manslaughter trial.

Pelosi’s Due Process Concerns for Conyers Don’t Extend to Gun Owners

“Legal” weasel-wording notwithstanding, all infringements that deny people their right to keep and bear arms are due process violations. And Conyers joins Pelosi in being a prime denier. [More]

Against All Better Judgment

He has been locked up at a juvenile detention facility, but in a month he turns 21. Judge Vernice Trease had the option of probation or a prison term. She opted for 5 years of the former, suggesting that she has a great home security system. [More]

I wonder if her judgment on this Somali "refugee" reflects why she "was appointed to the Third District Court in November 2006 by Gov. Jon M. Huntsman, Jr.," who in turn advocates:

• H1B visa process is broken; we need immigrant brainpower. (Sep 2011)
• Focus on fixing legal immigration as well as illegal. (Sep 2011)
• End patchwork of state laws & just secure the border. (Aug 2011)
• Vetoed repeal of college tuition for illegal immigrants. (May 2011)
• Border fence repulses me; inconsistent with America's image. (May 2011)
• 2008: GOP should tack to the middle on immigration. (Jan 2011)

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Right?

Otherwise, that "A" grade might need to be reconsidered.

Stirring the Pot

Democrats and their fake-news mouthpieces are today’s enemies of morality and religion. Their libelous charges, vicious slander and irrational hate are the toxic and deadly agents that foment the kind of violence that we observe and abhor. [More]

I've got a magazine deadline today so won't be able to go into more detail, but I predict this is going to have an unintended consequences rallying effect as traditional values Americans process their outrage at the enablers in both parties.

Gluttons for Punishment

Mainstream politicians aren’t asking to repeal the Second Amendment, they’re asking for common sense gun laws—like banning the kind of assault-style semiautomatic weapons and attachments that allowed the Las Vegas shooter to fire more than 1,100 rounds in less than 11 minutes. Or they’re asking to close loopholes in background checks in order to prevent domestic abusers from purchasing weapons. [More]

And then they're admitting it's a slippery slope with no bottom in sight.

I watched that episode, and it had pros and cons. The loudmouthed slob in the NRA hat turned out to be a stolen valor coward, so there was that bit of intentional stereotyping. By the same token, having an otherwise "progressive" woman defend concealed carry was an unusual touch, albeit that she had a permit in NYC reinforced that the show is fantasy fiction. I also liked how the anti-gun male politician relied on armed men for protection and ended up begging for his life, crawling and then running away, helpless and useless to himself and all others instead of being able to defend himself.

As an aside, modern television and movie violence certainly is unnecessarily graphic, to the point of pornographic. And the trend is to more gory spectacles to enthrall a bloodthirsty audience that will seemingly never have enough. Kind'a like the decadence of Rome...

Undisciplined parents who don't monitor what their children are exposed to are allowing them to blaze a trail into uncharted territory.
