This Day in History: September 22

The distressed situation of the Army for want of blankets and many necessary articles of Clothing, is truly deplorable; and must inevitably be destructive to it, unless a speedy remedy be applied. Without a better supply than they at present have, it will be impossible for the Men to support the fatigues of the campaign in the further progress of the approaching inclement season. This you well know to be a Melancholy truth. [More]

Darren Yancy Answers Gun Rights Questionnaire

We've seen two Republican contenders for Chet Edwards' 17th Texas Congressional District seat respond to the Gun Rights Questionnaire. A third has also responded, and, unlike his rivals, provided the specific answers requested: Darren Yancy. [More]

I posted a third Gun Rights Examiner column because I finally got someone from the 17th District Congressional race in Texas who would answer the questions instead of giving me boilerplate.

Chuck Wilson Responds to Gun Rights Questionnaire

Reader reaction to what they perceived as non-responsiveness did not appear to help Mr. Curnock's cause. But he's not the only candidate in the 17th. I also approached Chuck Wilson...[More]

We're the Only Ones Making Ourselves at Home Enough

Four former members of a now-disbanded Chicago police unit admitted Friday to taking part in a brazen scheme in which they barged into homes and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from suspected drug dealers and others — once after withholding insulin from a diabetic man until he told them where to find the cash. [More]

What's the rationale for them being the "Only Ones" again...?

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Cutting to the Chase

Or more like cutting the chase altogether. Even foot chases. [More]

Can't risk our "Only Ones" getting hurt. It's not like we have any obligation to protect you.

What an idiot. What an incompetent.

The crime index in Wellford for 2007 was 470.8, compared to a U.S. average of 320.9 (per 100,000). Officers per 1,000 residents was 1.82 compared to the 3.0 U.S. city average. Their incomes are lower than the state average, as are their property values...

But an incident requiring a pursuit can never happen in Wellford.

Now if she really wants to save the taxpayers some money...

Be an interesting "Twilight Zone" twist to have someone chasing her shrieking ass, and watch the observing cops just sit back and take another sip of coffee because they're forbidden to run after anyone.

We're the Only Ones Enjoying the Perks of Office Enough

Former Holland Police Chief Kevin P. Gleason was sentenced to two years in prison yesterday after pleading guilty to charges he pocketed money from 16 town-bought guns and rifles he sold, many to police officers in other communities.

Mr. Gleason, 47, also admitted taking $2,190 from an evidence locker to which only he had access. The money had been seized in a drug arrest. [More]

Two years for this corrupt "Only One" hypocrite scum, who would send you or me up the river in a heartbeat for doing what he did.

I compare this to six-and-a-half years for Wayne Fincher and what I feel is best left unwritten.

A Security Blanket

“We don’t want the citizens of Illinois to feel afraid, and then feel as though their fear isn’t enough for us to want to protect them – this legislation should provide a blanket of comfort to those who have to deal with these issues,” Noland said. [More]

And if that doesn't work, you can always vomit, surrender or scream.

Forget reality, how do you feel?

These obscene, sick bastards.

And the stupid cud-chewers who keep them in power...

We're the Only Ones Suffering from a Rash Enough

FBI Agent's Weapons Stolen During Rash of Break-Ins...

That FBI agent had a MP5 submachine gun, .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun and LAR-15 semiautomatic rifle stolen from his vehicle. [More]

But no harm, no foul, because he "followed ['Only Ones'] protocol," which I guess means they have an official procedure for putting "guns on the street."

IL State Police Self-Defense Advice for Women (Part Three): Scream

Which brings us to the final bit of advice they offer for warding off real-world demons:

"Remember that screaming may be just as important to your defense as any weapon."

Yes, by all means, scream. Howl in animal madness as everything human is stripped from you, and the only perceptions you experience are agony and terror. [More]

By order of his Excellency I have to Inform you that this Army is about to March up the Road by which we came down and is not to Halt untill we get beyond that Road which leads from Parkers Ford into the Reading Road, beyond the Trapp. It is the Generals desire that you move on with your Division so as to be nearly on a Line between us and the Schuylkill, leaving a small Pickett at each Fording Place as a party of Observation. Generals Maxwell and Potter are to March up and Join you. I am, etc.

PS. Before you leave your Encampment you will please make large Fires so that your March may be unexpected. [More]

IL State Police Self-Defense Advice for Women (Part Two): Resistance is Futile

At one time, the ISP website passed on a rather remarkable bit of information:

"Half of all the women that fire a gun trying to protect themselves shoot someone they do not want to, i.e., friends. neighbors, relatives, etc."

It's remarkable because it's utter, unsubstantiated bull, with no foundation in any study, let alone reality. [More]

IL State Police Self-Defense Advice for Women: Vomit

Hey, here's an idea! Tell your rapist you have an STD! And hope his response isn't "That's OK, baby, so do I." Then there's this SUPER defense tip-- Vomit! Do something disgusting involving bodily fluids! And in their words: "Use your imagination and you can think of others." For instance, I suppose you could BLEED! But here's their most important tip: "Use of a firearm to protect yourself or property is not recommended." [More]

This Day in History: September 19

When Major General Burgoyne and his men reached Albany in September, they found the city protected by 7,000 Patriots under Major General Horatio Gates. Because the Patriots had used the land to their advantage, they decided to sit and let the British make their move. There were some minor assaults, but finally on September 19, 1777, Major General Burgoyne and his troops attacked the Patriots at Freeman's Farm. The Patriots were reinforced by Major General Benedict Arnold's troops, but could not hold off the British. [More]

About that San Francisco Political Violence in the Late '70s...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw ... I saw this myself in the late '70s in San Francisco," Pelosi said, choking up and with tears forming in her eyes. "This kind of rhetoric is just, is really frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and ... I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made." [More]
