Fast and Furious fundraising email plays into ‘partisan witch hunt’ accusation

But without specifics detailing how funds raised under the auspices of holding Eric Holder legally accountable and obtaining justice for the Terry family are to be earmarked, it would be reasonable to assume all moneys raised will go toward general organizational expenses and goals (and of course, consultant fees). [More] 

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes how those who have done the least are trying to elbow their way in to get the most--and actually messing things up their single-minded focus on the cash. Besides which, using Brian Terry and his family as a fundraising hook without a note affirming express family endorsement just strikes me as pretty damn insensitive and borderline ghoulish.

Police Seek "Dark Colored" Killer Sedan

Detectives say Stone was just out for a morning jog, on his normal route, when a dark-colored,  four-door sedan pulled by, slowed down, fired several shots at him, then pulled off, without ever stopping. [More]

Oh, wait, this version has more detail, albeit it presents the same assumption about autovolition:

Several people witnessed Stone’s murder. They told police a dark-colored car driving north on 67th Street passed Stone as he was jogging, and without slowing down, opened fire on him. Witnesses say there were two black men inside the car.

I wonder why some "Authorized Journalists" take it on themselves to suppress basic and essential facts about violent crimes, especially when it's the public that's at risk, and it's the public being appealed to to help identify the seda...uh...killers at large.

Not really. It's a simple pincer maneuver. The attack on the other flank accuses those who advocate armed self-defense of being paranoid racists, seething with unfounded hatred and fear (due to our all having tiny wieners, no doubt). Even though time and again the premise that the police can't protect people is borne out, and even though we'd also want to know if a stalking monster "looked like" someone besides Obama's imaginary son from his composite girlfriend.

This Day in History: May 17

Reports of minor raids, rumors of intended movements by the enemy on a large scale, actual suffering on the part of the settlers for want of provisions, depreciation in Continental currency which had by now become practically worthless, and the difficulties of affording a semblance of protection by reinforcing the meager garrisons already posted, due to the impossibility of obtaining supplies for the militia, the only force available for this service, had by May brought about a most lamentable condition on the frontiers. As a result of this condition the more remote settlements were reported as daily breaking up and Colonel Van Schaick was led to express (1) the fear that unless some speedy and effectual measures were taken to inspire the despondent people with confidence, Schenectady would in all probability soon be the frontier to the westward.

Obama memorials bury Fast and Furious law enforcement deaths

We're the Only Ones Not Giving Back to the Community Enough

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit against the police departments in San Francisco and Oakland, California for refusing to return firearms to people who had been charged with crimes, but subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing. [More]

The thing is, monopoly of violence cultists consider gun ownership by any but the "Only Ones" to be "wrongdoing."

The other thing is, these lawsuits aren't cheap, and the precedents they establish benefit more than just the plaintiffs.  Take a look at all the ones they're funding throughout the land as well as their past successes.

They could sure use a hand.

Render Unto Caesar

“The filibuster is exactly that — it’s a rule that’s crippled our system of government. Undocumented youth, perhaps like no other group, understands about the legislative process,” said Caesar Vargas, an illegal immigrant who went through college and law school and could benefit from the Dream Act legalization bill. “We have lived it; we have shed tears for it. And we have seen a minority able to cripple dreams.” [More]

Issa invites questions while staffers ignore them

In any case, the individual staffers and their Committee have all benefited from reliable information, introductions and leads shared by Gun Rights Examiner and Mike Vanderboegh at Sipsey Street Irregulars. So it should be unnecessary at this point to have to go back to publicly decrying lack of Congressional responsiveness, but if that’s the only path left open for “Unauthorized Journalists” to get action, at least it’s a tried and true one.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report tries to pry some information out of those who should know better than to withhold it. Be interesting to see if it works...

That's pretty funny, and helps highlight the trademark incompetence of these two boobs.

Scare Tactics

In place of real terrorists carrying out easy plots, we have “terrorist” plots dreamed up by FBI and CIA agents, who then recruit some hapless or demented dupes, bribing them with money and heroic images of themselves, and supplying them with the plot and fake explosives. These are called “sting operations,” but they are not. They are orchestrations by our own security agencies that produce fake terrorist plots that are then “foiled” by the security agencies that hatched the plots. Washington’s announcement is always: “The public was never in danger.” Some terrorist plot! We have never been endangered by one, but the airports have been on orange alert for 11.5 years. [More]

Like that bridge too far.

Think about it--if you or I wanted to carry out destructive, disruptive and even murderous acts, how hard would it really be? Is it really fear of getting caught that stops us, or just the simple truth that basically good people don't do monstrously evil things?
