Anatomy of a Murder
[More]
There's something here but I'll leave an analysis on the level of organized coordination to people with more experience and better skills than I have. I question why a cameraman who was in on it would be stopping to record and comment on store windows painted with flowers.

Skin in the Game
That’s significant because these two demographics, along with blue collar voters who traditionally vote as Democrats, are clearly feeling threatened by the danger in the streets. More to the point, they are demographics Trump has been reaching out to, hoping to bring at least some of them into the GOP fold in 2020. Given that these people have invested in self-protection firearms for a reason, it is reasonable to assume that at least some of these will be reluctant to vote for Biden, given his strong anti-gun status and rhetoric.

Your lips to God's ear.
Here's hoping that when people have something that others want to take away that they'll become resentful and protective.

Speaking of Toning Down the Rhetoric
A University of North Carolina professor claimed that all Whites have been “deputized” to kill Black people. She then claimed that those criticizing that statement were racist. [More]
It is inexcusable that this insane sow is in a position to influence the ignorant who view her as an authority. Perhaps a bigger travesty is that she gets all her field corn "courtesy" of the taxpayers.

There Never Seems to be a Wilding Gang Around When You Really Need One
...New York Times Paul Krugman ... dismissed the leftist mayhem engulfing our cities as being grounded in “almost entirely fantasy” because…he went for a morning run and didn’t see any Antifa folks around. [More]
And we know how reliable his pronouncements are.
He must have picked a different route.

We're the Only Ones Federalized Enough
The move is actually rather genius. [More]
It's also rather troubling from a delegation of powers point of view...
Not that there isn't such a way to suppress insurrections...

An Unarmed Man
Police said O’Keefe has prior arrests and convictions over the years, including DWI, robbery, drug possession, and assault. In 2019, he was arrested for another assault and resisting arrest. He was sentenced in that case in July 2020 and received a suspended sentence and two years of probation. [More]
Fists again, eh? And released again, eh?
Sure sounds like a trust and custodianship issue to me...

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Supervised' Is
Shots fired over mask policy at a Family Dollar [More]
And he had been out on "supervised release"?
That's not quite what "custodian" means.

A Kinder, Gentler Economic Fascism?

Do You Come From a Land Down Under?

Another Peaceful Protester
Colorado Woman Repeatedly Punches 12-Year-Old Boy in the Back of the Head Over Trump Yard Sign [More]
Noting the lethal effect fists often have, I'd go for attempted murder and felony child endangerment against this evil, bipolar, bullying freak.

That Should Go Without Saying

That pretty much goes for every nation.
And vice versa...

The California legislature passed a law late Monday relaxing sex offender registry requirements for sodomy and other acts with minors in efforts to end “discrimination against LGBTQ young people on the sex offender registry,” according to the bill’s sponsor. [More]
Oh crap, we've got the wrong NAMBLA!
I'm just wondering when it will be a "socialization" requirement and a hate crime to criticize it.

Time-Tested and Proved!
Black Lives Matter protesters outside the White House cursed and threatened people walking to their hotels after they attended the President’s nomination acceptance speech on the South Lawn.

Without Firing a Shot
It worked. The man took off running. [More]
So the defending gun owner wasn't out to be a vigilante and kill someone? Who knew?
The same bloodthirsty moral defects who disparage DGUs because gun owners don't shoot more perps would rather Heagerty had been unarmed -- and shot to death by his attacker so they could add another "gun death" their citizen disarmament "justification" statistics.
In the Red Zone
'Operation Red Zone' will bring federal agents to pursue gun crimes over Labor Day weekend - Operation will focus on Canton, Toledo, Youngstown [More]
Left unsaid is where in the Constitution the federal government is delegated authority to enact, enforce and adjudicate gun possession charges, and why someone known to be too dangerous to be trusted with a gun has been left free to stalk among us.
