Mystery to Me

Hodgkinson had a piece of paper with the names of six members of Congress written on it, Slater said, but the note lacked any further context and there was no evidence from his computer, phone or other belongings that indicated he planned to target those officials. Slater declined to name the officials whose names were on the note or say whether they were Republicans or Democrats or were at the baseball practice. [More]
Since he reportedly asked if they were Democrats or Republicans, does it matter? I'd think the fact that he wanted to kill anyone not "progressive" like him is even more chilling, because he was hardly alone in that sentiment, with plenty of encouragement.

Case in point (and it received kind mentions in the media at the time):
Killing Republicans ... Funded in part by NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.

They Asked for It

[More]

I see hatred directed toward whites, males, Christians, conservatives and heterosexuals all the time that qualifies as treating such individuals "negatively."

If that hotline were used for the stated reasons, it would be effectively shut down. Curious that there's no warning about hoax hate crime reports being punishable, so I guess they're saying anything goes.

And what a true example of public works. You'd think they could size and center their poster headline so it would fit on the page instead of bleeding off the edge.

Today's decision means that the Washington Redskins, whose trademark was canceled by the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) under the provision struck down today, will very likely win their appeal. While the name "Redskins" is surely anachronistic, so are parts of the names like the "United Negro College Fund" and the "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People."

Existing Law Requires Gun Owners to Pay for Government’s ‘Mistakes’


[W]hen the government (with unlimited resources) screws up, it makes citizens (who may or may not have had their assets seized or frozen) take them to court.

I Scream for Ice Cream

SCORES OF FARM WORKERS, ACTIVISTS MARCH ON BEN & JERRY'S [More]
I love when leftists collide!

In case you didn't know (and have been unwittingly giving them aid and comfort):
Then there’s Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, a homegrown experiment in corporate social(ist) engineering that has supported a variety of left-leaning causes, including funding gun control through sales of their “Peace Pops” bars. It figures— with heart disease the leading cause of death in this country, you wouldn’t expect an ice cream company to focus on that threat. They are so hostile to guns they seemingly can’t even acknowledge the word— when new CEO Perry Odak came on board from “U.S. Repeating Arms Co. (Winchester) and Browning,” their press release described it as “a manufacturer of outdoor and recreation sporting goods.” And after Ben & Jerry’s railed against the chemical dioxin as “one of the most toxic substances in our environment today,” JunkScience.com performed an analysis of their “World’s Best Vanilla” ice cream, concluding it contained 200 times the EPA’s standard daily dose (in reality not a hazardous level, but certainly an example of the hysteria they promote, as well as proving them profoundly hypocritical).
