'Someone'
Don't Geofence Me In
Geofence warrants seek location data on every person within a specific location over a certain period of time. To work, those people must be using cellphones or other electronic devices that have the location history feature enabled. U.S. District Judge Hannah Lauck found that the warrant violated the constitution by gathering the location history of people near the bank without having any evidence that they had anything to do with the robbery. [More]
Hey, if you're not doing anything wrong, what have you got to hide? You're not disloyal, are you?
Sounds like the judge made a good call to me.

A Call to Hands
The father and son duo hailed as heroes for fighting off a pack of goons robbing an elderly woman near their Queens pizza shop said Wednesday the city’s crime scourge has forced them to take public safety into their own hands. [More]

Pinky and the Brain
The 22-year-old man said he was walking along the road when he was approached by a man wearing a ski mask. He said the man asked him if he was a drug dealer, and when he responded that he wasn’t, he said the robber pulled out a pocket knife and demanded money from him. According to the report, the victim estimated that the robber took about $80 from him before making him “pinky promise” that he wouldn’t call the cops. [More]
Good grief.
As an aside, my TSA menace mother is from Warren, and my parents used to send me on "vacations" to my grandparents there when I was little. It wasn't until I was an adult reminiscing many years later that it finally dawned on me the vacation was for them.

‘Anonymous Say Something’ Campaign Shares Flaws with ATF’s Snitch Line
The “Say Something” campaign Barden is pushing won’t change that. What the slick PR professionals call “student upstanders” is basically another way of saying “informants,” and while there can be times when doing that can be lifesaving and needed, like all tools, it can be used for great good or great evil. [More]
This "promises" to do a lot more harm than good.
An Administration of Sadists
“I know that the government believes that the January 6th cases are sui generis [one of a kind] and therefore can’t be compared to other cases. But I don’t agree,” said U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden. “It does feel like the government has had two standards here, and I can’t abide by that,” he added, noting that before January 6, he couldn’t remember an instance where a nonviolent, first-time offender was “sentenced to serious jail time … regardless of their race, gender or political affiliation.” [More]
In other words, the evil, vicious bastards think their power is to force their will on citizens and get revenge on anyone who resists. Combine that with the observable fact that they lie to us about everything and I'm wondering what it's going to look like when normal people start to snap.

Based on her "solutions," no wonder:
Gauthier has ideas about how to stem the violence “that could include everything from policing but also a broader set of resources like trauma support and violence interrupters that are on the streets 24 hours in those areas,” she told me. “Or safe youth activities for as many hours as we are able to during the day ... or programs that offer stipends for young men not to shoot and make it financially worth people’s whiles to get out of the cycle of violence.

Since when has she not been on the side of the enemy? This is why you never donate directly to the Republican Party, or to PACs that share proceeds with it.
“The Senate of 2022 is tied, with 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, which presents Republicans with an interesting procedural option: denying a quorum in the Senate Judiciary Committee, thus preventing the nomination from being reported out of committee and placed on the calendar, and ultimately moved to the Senate floor.”
Why the "gun groups" aren't demanding their A-graders push for that is for them to explain. I'm leaning toward "You've got to keep the threat level high for successful fundraising."
Meanwhile, Clarence Thomas's health and his wife's political activism put him out on a limb that's ready to break, Roberts still has the Dolly pix hanging over his head, and we'll really find out what Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett are made of.
The Deep State is preparing for Republicans to sweep big in the midterms and just making sure the victory will be akin to Will Smith going home with his greatest win only to see a greater loss follow.
