One-Punch Man

Man sent to prison for Las Vegas 1-punch death [More]

You don't need to be Saitama. It happens more frequently than many think.

Something must be done!

Don't tell any "Real Men" though -- let it be a surprise.

It's Big Club and It's On You

Florida 16-year-old allegedly beats friend to death with a baseball bat over a girl, officials say [More]

Anyone who can't be trusted with a bat can't be trusted without a custodian.

A Viable Alternative?

I've just been told about Full30 as an alternative to YouTube for gun videos. [More]

A couple things:

I tried embedding a video in Blogger and their embed code results in a player with several (and I mean a lot) inches of black space above and below, and I see nothing in the html I can remove to fix that (bearing in mind my capabilities in that regard are really limited.)

Also, one of the big issues destroying YouTubers is no longer being allowed to monetize their videos, effectively shutting them down by impoverishing them.  I didn't see anything about that through a quick scan of the Full30 t's & c's.

If you have knowledge about either of these concerns, please educate me in "Comments."

We're the Only Ones Drunk, Backward and 'Horny' Enough

About 1:49 a.m., a person called authorities, saying a driver near the intersection of 130th Avenue and Wild Acres Road was driving in reverse while honking a horn. [More]

I can't help but wonder if the person who called it in knew her and didn't want to anymore...

If At First You Don't Succeed

The state Supreme Court will hear arguments on Nov. 14 in the closely watched case involving the families of victims of the Sandy Hook massacre who are suing the gun manufacturer that makes the weapon used in the shootings. [More]

What motivates a person to become your enemy is not as important as the fact that he has chosen to be your enemy and presumes to take what is yours by force. And it's a cinch he has no sympathy for you.

They are the ones forcing us to harden our hearts. It's not like ending "gun-free zones" and embracing that which is "necessary to the security of a free State" wasn't an option.

With Malloy enjoying the majority of appointments, I guess we'll see how activist these black-robed Nazgûl are.

Perception Becomes Reality

“The data doesn’t lie. The rate of these events just is not increasing as the perception is given in the media. This is just what it is,” he said. [More]

What, the press has an agenda?

It's an interesting fact the professor brings up, but I believe there's another more compelling one that needs to become common knowledge.

As opposed to:

"[T]he best way to prepare for something like that is not to station police officers in all public places, but to train them really well in rapid response."

We're the Only Ones Starving Enough

The officers told Roundtree to pack up and leave. City manager’s orders, they said. Roundtree didn’t have a permit, and he couldn’t get one if he wanted to. [More]

And everybody responsible's names are...?

The Armed Racist Threat

Suspected Florida Cop Killer Claimed To Be Member Of Black Extremist Group [More]

Waitaminnit... this doesn't fit the narrative...

Let's just hope the racist Nazi fascist Trump doesn't commit the unpardonable sin of saying this is equally wrong.

An Unarmed Man

Tell me shooting and killing the assailant wouldn't have been justified. [More]

Then tell me"the community" wouldn't have gone nuts over his having been "unarmed."

[Via William T]

We're the Only Ones Making Up Enough

Officer Admits to Making Up Shooting Story [More]

Now he's in a more screwed position than before he tried to off himself. If he hadn't lied, he wouldn't be facing criminal charges and he'd be eligible for treatment benefits and pension.

We're the Only Ones Cutting Edge Enough

The officer mistook wadcutter .38 bullets for blanks. This is the consequence of hiring cops who aren’t “gun people.” [More]

Barring evidence of massive brain damage, I ain't buying it.

The Art of the Deal

A freshman at Fort Valley State University was stabbed to death after he came to the aid of some female students who were being harassed and groped by a man outside the school cafeteria, a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent said Wednesday. [More]

I just asked a similar "Would you?" question the other day.

Sorry if you don't like such outcomes on Georgia campuses. That's the way it's gonna stay, and you'll just have to Deal with it.

But...but...but... what's the deal with the Constitution...?

"I have altered the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."

Dishonorable Discharge

The three-year-old family friend was sitting on Robinson's lap when he allegedly went to move a gun that was in a holster on his waistband because it was uncomfortable. That's when the gun discharged, firing one bullet into both legs of the young victim. [More]

All by its own self, apparently.

I can't tell you how many times that's happened to me. Tell me we shouldn't be able to sue the manufacturer!

I've Always Depended on the Kindness of Strangers

While Reyes has already admitted his involvement in 16 killings – and he is suspected by federal authorities of being involved in at least 35 and holding the rank of “lieutenant of lieutenants” in the gang – it wasn’t until his indictment this week that he was tied to the police officer’s slaying. [More]

Tell me "background checks" wouldn't have made a difference!

And it's in society's interest to continue feeding, clothing and housing this abomination why, again...?

We're the Only Ones Friendly Enough

Maryland Officer Jacai Colson died from friendly fire [More]

If this isn't a good reason for keeping you and me disarmed, I don't know what is.

Ready. Aim. Manipulate.

The real thing is never scripted out with rules and caveats and disparities like this. [More]

Case in point-- attackers typically don't have 21 years of SWAT experience. Plenty have not had body armor to necessitate a head shot rule.  And let's see how average "Only Ones" would fare.

Just because you can get one scenario to trend in the way it's being steered doesn't mean all will go that way, and certainly does nothing to negate the fact that with a choice comes a chance.

But the average ignoramus just seeing this will be going "See? SEEEE...???" just like he -- or "reporter" Brett Shipp -- is now some kind of authority.

We're the Only Ones Authoring Enough

Bridgeport Officer Who Reported Racist Letter Wrote It [More]

Yeah, well, if society wasn't racist he wouldn't have needed to... or something like that, right?

A Special Assistant

A White House staffer was arrested Friday on charges of assault and reckless endangerment after allegedly threatening and shooting at a Capitol Hill police officer with whom she had been having sex, according to arrest records. Barvetta Singletary, a special assistant to the President and House legislative affairs liaison, has been placed on unpaid leave and had her access to the White House revoked, a White House spokesperson told CNN on Monday. [More]

Isn't that special? Him being the "Only One" for her 'n all...

I guess I shouldn't laugh at people suffering from PCSD (Post-Coital Stress Disorder).

Say, seeing as how you and I bear no culpability for this incident, maybe they can use it to make the case for both expanding mental health "disabilities" and "smart" guns...
