Notes from the Resistance...
Fidler said he huddled in the corner of the men's clothing department with about a dozen other employees until police yelled to get out of the store.
A police officer has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges for pulling over Hispanic drivers and stealing their money...The 33-year-old Hilsinger pleaded guilty to four charges of willfully depriving individuals of their right against unreasonable searches and seizures.Misdemeanor? That's all an "Only One" gets for multiple counts of armed robbery? Even if he didn't pull a gun, he had one during the commission of a crime, and the implication was there that a police officer must be immediately obeyed or else...
By contrast, the Canadian public never seems to weary of the annual Dec. 6 tribute to the 1989 Montreal Polytechnique shooting massacre of 14 women.So, do you have any special plans for Canadian Blood Dance Day? Aside from marveling how anyone who's not clinically insane could propose that the solution for predators exploiting victim disarmament zones is to disarm even more potential victims?
Nearly six months after Slippery Rock University introduced a RFID payment system for mobiles at its campus, we've learned that Montclair State University is requiring that all full-time undergraduates carry a school-issued mobile for their own safety. The handsets, which cost some $210 per semester, are already being carried by about 6,000 students, and feature a GPS function that can be activated to ensure campus police are alerted of their location if something goes awry.Let's see, that'd be $210/semester X 13,500 undergrads, with the Provost planning for 18,00 in '08...not a bad chunk of change for a security device that's never stopped one violent crime in progress--and never will unless the victim uses the handset as a weapon...
This Washington Post-ABC News poll was conducted by telephone Nov. 29 - Dec. 3, 2007, among a random sample of 488 New Hampshire adults likely to vote in the Republican primary. The results have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points. Sampling, data collection and tabulation by TNS of Horsham, Pa.
U.S. Drug Czar John Walters is in Tampa touting local programs aimed at stopping students from using and abusing prescription drugs...
In 1995, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that public schools could conduct random drug testing of athletes, expanding that in 2002 to include students involved in extracurricular activities.
It was revealed last week that firefighters are being trained to not only keep an eye out for illegal materials in the course of their duties, but even to report back any expression of discontent with the government...I know the source turns out to be pinko Keith Olbermann, which raises an interesting question--how is it that the political left, which so distrusts the government, then turns around and embraces "gun control," giving that government a monopoly of power?
Unlike law enforcement officials, firemen can go onto private property without a warrant, not only while fighting fires but also for inspections.
Police forced entry into Williams home while responding to a shooting, but it turned out to be a false call. They had no idea at the time the call wasn't real and that Williams is hearing impaired. Without his hearing aid he is basically deaf.You know what we need to stop this kind of dangerous outrage once and for all? Anonymous tip lines!
"I kept going to my ear yelling that I was scared. I can't hear! I can't hear!"
Officers were worried about their own safety because at the time it appeared Williams was refusing to obey their commands to show his hands. That's when they shot him with a Taser.
Police said the gun belonged to Jalynn's mother, a Cook County sheriff's corrections officer. She was working in the jail complex at 26th Street and California Avenue in Chicago when the shooting occurred, said Cook County sheriff's police spokeswoman Penny Mateck.This was sent to me by correspondent HZ, who worried "I don't know how you could use this or if I am just sending this as a rant. I do not promote dancing in blood and don't like it when the anti's do it."
Ramsey said he and Nutter were in agreement on Nutter's crime-fighting strategy, including Nutter's promise to employ a controversial "stop, question and frisk" policy to target illegal weapons.If the Second Amendment can be disregarded, I hope no one thinks the Fourth has any meaning. Or any of the others. Besides--if you're not doing anything wrong, you shouldn't have anything to hide. And if it saves on life...
Laura Washington opens her trap. Again...Discontented Cookie gets crumbs all over her latest kooky assault on RKBA.
"After the officers had taken a glass of wine General Washington said 'I cannot come to each of you but shall feel obliged if each of you will come and take me by the hand.' General Knox being nearest to him turned to the Commander-in-chief who, suffused in tears, was incapable of utterance but grasped his hand when they embraced each other in silence. In the same affectionate manner every officer in the room marched up and parted with his general in chief. Such a scene of sorrow and weeping I had never before witnessed and fondly hope I may never be called to witness again."When was the last time you loved a leader you would follow into hell?
Nassau cops deployed a new surveillance system Saturday night in Uniondale, videotaping the revelers gathered to see the annual lighting of RexCorp Plaza's Christmas tree.
We know when you've been sleeping
We know when you're awake...
Come to think of it, this reminds me of another Christmas song, too...
Stink. Stank. Stunk.
And what say we nominate Susan Dolan for a special Eloi Award?

“I do not understand why some groups would try to stand in the way of legislation that is going to get soda, snack cakes and other high-fat, high-salt food out of virtually all schools,” she said.Me neither, Margo Wootan. I mean, the federal authority is all spelled out right in here, isn't it?
