Notes from the Resistance...
The four kids were apparently rummaging through some sort of trash dumpster and told cops that's where they found the toy gun, police sources told NBCNewYork.com. One of the juveniles picked up the fake gun, put it in his belt and started walking away with the other three kids when a woman spotted the gun in his waistband and called police. [More]You wanna see something really scary?
Boogedy!The officer then told me to get on my knees. I asked am I free to go. He then stated no...Just so you know your place.
I asked if I was not being told why I am being detained, I was going to get up and leave. At this time the officer told me, if you do that you will be tazered and handcuffed. [More]
New Orleans is once again the nation's murder capital after briefly losing the title. [More]Maybe if Ray Nagin focused less on being a "chocolate city" and more on this...
[More]
The bodies of two men believed to have been electrocuted while stealing copper wiring were found early Tuesday on an abandoned driving range in Riverside County, authorities said. [More]I bring this story up because of this:
A law intended to deter metal theft took effect in December and requires recycling centers to take a customer's photo, thumbprint and identification for every transaction over $20.Hmmm. Sounds just like our issue.
Both men were charged late Tuesday with one count of first-degree murder of a peace officer, one count of first-degree murder, and one count of attempted murder. [More]Now wait a minute--it says the officer was in plain clothes.
Watch "Only One" Abbate get "thrown"--no wonder he was in such fear:"What went through your mind when that happened?" Hickey asked."That I was receiving an injury due to someone throwing me," Abbate answered. [More]
States can not only ban guns, they can ban self-defense. That's what a court just ruled. And we're told it is the "conservative" position... [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner looks at a Seventh Circuit decision acknowledging a government power to ban not just firearms, but self-defense.
Yet, as the Enemy, on their part, are using every devise they are capable of, to seduce both Soldiers and Citizens from our Service into their's and have succeeded but too well. [More]
After police raid, bitterness replaces pride for LAPD officer [More]Now hold the damn phone a minute. The SWAT team thought he had drugs and weapons and gang affiliations, and they called him first, and gave him 20 minutes to collect himself and the kids?
"We took extra precautions because he is a veteran and has had weapons training, so we felt it was better to err on the side of caution," Shambaugh said. [More]But "the details of Meadows' alleged actions have not been made public."
The recent shooting in a Moscow supermarket by police Major Denis Yevsyukov, who killed three people and wounded six, only added to the negative image of those who are supposed to protect the population from illegal guns used by criminal elements. Yevsyukov used a pistol that had been missing for nine years, and it is now suspected that he and his deputy were engaged in illegal gun trade. The incident has spurred debate over further legalization of gun ownership in Russia, including the right to carry a gun. [More]Makes sense.
District Attorney General Jerry Woodall says he will not file criminal charges against the Madison County sheriff's deputy whose gun was discharged in a Jackson store last week. [More]No, no, I don't suppose he would.
Veteran Miami-Dade prosecutor David Ranck faces battery charges after an alleged scuffle with a pizza delivery woman on Saturday during a delivery that went horribly wrong. [More]What "went wrong"? You mean it's not OK for a man to hit a woman, or an officer of the court to assault a citizen?
Police sided with the pizza woman on Saturday, but did not take Ranck to lock up. He was released on his own recognizance.So does that mean you or I can assault delivery people without fearing a night in the slammer, too, or is that reserved for extra-cheesy and crusty "Only Ones"?
If we're too dangerous to be entrusted with the combination in restaurants, what makes people think we can be entrusted in our homes?Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at the Tennessee restaurant carry bill. I'd rather take my chances against drunks than against political opportunists.
Of course, we know that for some, that's what it's all about. [More]
I have received Information that the Regiment under your command have refused to do duty, or come to Camp for that purpose, giving as their reason that they were set at Liberty on Parole and are therefore afraid of falling a second time into the Enemy's hands. This I would willingly disbelieve, as I cannot be of opinion, that any Officer would suffer Men to act or speak in that manner, as they must be sensible that Men were not inlisted merely to make use of the Public Money and provision, and when called to real Service, pretend to give any excuse for not complying with Orders. [More]
But frankly, I’m nostalgic for the days when the pursued feared the judicial system if for nothing but the inevitable ass-kicking and street justice. [More]Not the "guilty," the "pursued."
