About 2,000 employees spent almost two hours Thursday afternoon in the lower level of the company’s corporate headquarters at Veterans Parkway and Washington Street after a passer-by reported seeing a man with a “long gun” outside the building.See, he probably wasn't wearing an official-looking uniform, because then the cattle wouldn't have stampeded...
Police eventually determined the person actually saw a custodian holding what probably was a pipe.
Yesterday I read about a short historical drama called Give Me Liberty at The War On Guns. Is was a 1936 dramatization of Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech. Patrick Henry is my favorite of what we have come to call our "founding fathers," if you can consider him that, so I was immediately interested and intrigued. The commenter had seen it on Turner Classic Movies, but noted that it is not available on DVD. Never being one to accept anything as truth until I have verified it myself, I began doing some research.
I would like to create a consolidated list of all judicial decisions which adopted the "collective rights" theory. It would be nice to supplement the list with statements from legislators, journalists, academics, etc., claiming that "collective rights" is the only valid meaning of the Second Amendment. So I encourage commenters to supply as many citations as they would like. It would be ideal if the citations followed conventional Bluebook format, and included a brief parenthetical quote from the source.Dave Kopel posting at The Volokh Conspiracy is looking for some help here...
A man repeatedly shocked while in handcuffs at the Henderson County jail died from “excited delirium” because of physical restraint and cocaine toxicity, according to a state autopsy.Yeah, I'm sure the repeated electro-shock behavior modification had nothing to do with it.
We have provided this class before, and we are getting more requests to do it again. The purpose is to let women become familiar with guns they might use for self protection."This is something that deserves encouragement. Now if the sheriff would only muster volunteers once a month for long gun training and tactics, he'd have a ready-made, well regulated citizen militia to count on in times of disaster.
He said many women want to know more about guns for that purpose and many lack knowledge of firearms.
"The class teaches women how to use a gun and not be afraid of it," the sheriff said.
For most people, making a mistake on the job is tough enough. But imagine the whole world finding out about it and then judging you on the Internet.We've visited this issue before, so I'll not make the same points again. What I will do is point out the comments at the NBC10.com site maintaining this is something bad.
That's happening to many police officers across the country.
A mother and her children discovered a police officer’s loaded gun while visiting a South Austin park, department officials said.A video report is here.
A federal grand jury has indicted Jackson Mayor Frank Melton and his two police bodyguards on charges related to damage caused to an alleged drug house on Ridgeway Street on Aug. 26, 2006.That's too rich. "Mayor Against Guns" Frankie "charged with using a firearm during the commission of a violent crime."
The goal of their strategy is clear. Extending the public comment period amounts to a blatant and intentional stalling tactic; further pushing back resolution on this matter, possibly until after the election, into a new Administration. This needless extension will also allow opponents of carrying guns in national parks (like the Humane Society of the U.S. and the National Parks Conservation Association) to rally their troops to express their opposition to this commonsense proposal.The antis are trying to stack the deck, and they need an extension to mobilize. Regular readers know I've been bugging them to weigh in on this for months.
Armed and Safe.I find the Army in general and particularly the Troops raised in Massachusetts Bay very difficient in necessary Clothing: Upon Inquiry it appears there is no Probability of Obtaining any supplies in this Quarter; upon the best consideration of this matter, I am able to form, I am of Opinion that a number of hunting Shirts, not less than 10,000, would in a great Degree remove the difficulty in the cheapest and quickest manner. I know nothing so trivial in a speculative View, that in Practice would have a happy Tendency to unite the men and abolish those Provincial distinctions which lead to Jealousy and Dissatisfaction. . . . Upon the Article of Ammunition, I must re-echo the former complaints on this Subject; we are so exceedingly destitute that our Artillery will be of little use without a supply both large and seasonable; what we have, must be reserved for the small Arms and that managed with the utmost Frugality.
[T]he council in a written statement accused Ralph Roberts of neglecting duties, violating unspecified town rules, engaging in conduct unbecoming of a police officer, and acting immorally and in a manner injurious to public peace and welfare.But they won't comment further.
You can do as Smith wants—let them do it, whatever it is, and then call a qualified professional. Or you can shoot the sons of bitches.Thing is, Fred, you can't. Not living in Mexico.
According to this promotional video found at the Lamperd Less Lethal website, the bracelet would be worn by all airline passengers.Allow me to present an overview of video highlights:
This bracelet would:
• take the place of an airline boarding pass
• contain personal information about the traveler
• be able to monitor the whereabouts of each passenger and his/her luggage
• shock the wearer on command, completely immobilizing him/her for several minutes [More]
We have the technology...
Still, we can run old ladies and war veterans through the Fargo wood chipper...
All administered by giving the lowest-paid and least qualified among us "Authoritah."
Yeah, there are air marshals, but we all know about "The Only Ones"...
Is that door locked? Why, I guess you're on your own...
Well I thought there was, but I have a feeling you have something else in mind...
EMD? How does it work?
Collars of Obedience!
Fortunately, it can only be activated by a Master Thrall.
"100 quatloos on the new comers!"A Massachusetts State Trooper has been reassigned after police say his 12-year-old son allegedly took his unloaded service weapon, pointed it at a 5-year-old and pulled the trigger.Maybe Harriet should start her prying at "Only One" households.
The New Orleans Police Department has suspended one of its officers after he allegedly led Crescent City Connection police on a high-speed chase, fled after being pulled over, and slapped a bridge police officer who followed him to his district station, authorities said...And he got to do all that? That might be worth it.
Because Sanchell was cited with a municipal summons, he was not arrested and will not face state criminal charges. He has yet to be arraigned on the municipal charges. The charges carry a maximum sentence of five months and a fine of $500.
A couple of weeks later, she returned from work and found a note sticking in her door from Aurora police, asking her to go to the station.Sticky note to self: If The "Only Ones" ever leave an invitation to come visit them, do not comply. If they persist, decline to speak to them.
Flores complied -- and was caught off guard when the officer read her Miranda rights, then asked her to confess to using a stolen credit card in five different transactions that totaled close to $240.
Yeah, SHE uses a $447 million dollar bankroll to deny Americans their Divine right of self defense and it's about the people's will.But the WaPo kept portraying her as "the mom behind the movement" and a "stay-at-home mother of two." The brief mention about her buying influence with royal wealth was buried in the second page.
