Notes from the Resistance...
Police sealed off a Braintree neighborhood for more than an hour when an armed Boston police captain dealing with “medical issues” barricaded herself in her home.Huh, The second "Only One" standoff this week.
"It's outrageous," Sharon Akabas of the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University, told the New York Daily News. "What's next? Are we going to start taking guns out to some of these remote places and ask them which one they like better?"That's not a bad idea, there, Sharon.
One of the two Indian men arrested for illegally buying mobile phone cards used by the gunmen in the Mumbai attacks was a counterinsurgency police officer who may have been on an undercover mission, security officials said Saturday, demanding his release.May have been?
It will be interesting to see how the Odessa police react to the trap into which they walked. I suppose they could try to press criminal charges of some sort, but if Cooper and company are telling the truth, all they did was engage in perfectly legal activity and wait for the police to misinterpret the situation, probably through the use of illegal search techniques backed by fraudulent claims made to secure a warrant. Under the circumstances, any attempts at retaliation are just going to dig a deeper hole for the local authorities.
One day, as the horse was trotting past the farmhouse during the evening meal, he happened to glance inside the dining room window, and what he saw chilled him to his marrow. There on the table was a steaming lump of charred flesh with an apple stuck in it’s mouth. In horror he recognized the lump as Ham, a recent member of the growing number of missing animals.
Deputies from the Charles County Sheriff's Office had arrived at the house on St. Peters Church Rd. around 7 p.m. to serve legal papers to a resident who no longer lived at that address.I got nothin'. Some "Only Ones" stories just stop me in my tracks.
The homeowner said deputies asked her to put her 2-year-old sheep dog, Dixie, inside the house while they sorted things out. The homeowner complied, but her 2-year-old niece pushed the door open a short time later. Dixie came running out, and the deputy shot the dog, according to an account from the homeowner's sister.
The regional director of Homeland Security, Customs, and Border Protection was charged today with repeatedly hiring illegal immigrants to clean her Salem home after one cleaner wore a wire during an undercover investigation.I don't even have a smart-aleck "Only Ones" remark for this one. I'm too occupied channeling H.L. Mencken.
Lorraine Henderson is the director of the Port of Boston, overseeing 190 armed federal officers...
Residents from the Milwaukee neighborhoods of Riverwest and East Side are scheduled to meet Wednesday to discuss printing their own money...Really?
And it's completely legal.
As long as communities don't create coins, or print bills that resemble federal dollars, organizations are free to produce their own greenbacks—and they'd don't even have to be green.
Another was wrapped in brown paper, like a present ready to give the gift of violence.Gee, no editorializing in a "straight news" story there, eh, "Authorized Journalist" Tammy Stables Battaglia? Nice to see The Free Press adhering to such rigorous ethical standards...
In exchange for his resignation, the district attorney's office will not file criminal charges against Maldonado pertaining to an October incident in which he let a friend fire his county issue weapon.I wonder if my new BFF deputy Gus Reyna will keep good on his promise to treat my doing the same thing "like any other case," meaning there will be no arrest and prosecution? As a show of good faith, I'll even promise never to be a constable.
"A Micro Uzi is made by and for the Israeli Armed Forces and is intended to meet the operational needs of Israeli Special Forces," the prosecutor said in a news release.And your point is?
"It is not a hunting weapon."
We, therefore, in the name of the people of these United Colonies, and by authority, according to the purest maxims of representation, derived from them, declare, that whatever punishment shall be inflicted upon any persons in the power of our enemies for favouring, aiding, or abetting the cause of American liberty, shall be retaliated in the same kind, and the same degree upon those in our power, who have favoured, aided, or abetted, or shall favour, aid, or abet the system of ministerial oppression. The essential difference between our cause, and that of our enemies, might justify a severer punishment: The law of retaliation will unquestionably warrant one equally severe.

Three city police officers - two active, one recently resigned - were indicted Wednesday on charges they lied in court testimony or on police reports in two incidents.Oh, like they're the "Only Ones" who have ever done that...
“He said, “I’ll kill you,’” Kevin recalled.
Kevin said Hanley held the gun sideways “gangland” style rather than upright as police officers are trained. “The creepy part was how he held the pistol, like you see in a movies,” he said.
I'd planned on talking about the second sponsor of the Mayors Against YOUR Guns conference, the National Council of Jewish Women. I know you're just dying to meet them--or could be if they have their way.Today's Gun Rights Examiner column...
