Notes from the Resistance...
A local rapper was killed in December when a gun went off inside his mouth, but it remains unclear whether the death was an accident, suicide or murder.
Before the gun was discovered at the jail, it was apparently in the suspect's boot while he rode in a police car, while he was questioned at police headquarters and while he was being booked at the Wake County Jail.
"I still don't think it makes any sense for all of us to be packing guns in our pocketbooks and our cars," said St. Louis Alderman Lyda Krewson, who was widowed in 1995 by an armed carjacker and who lobbied against the law. "We just have a situation where there are more guns on the street."
The mother of the two women gunned down at a family barbecue has called for a public inquiry into the use of firearms and how to protect the public from them.What, like make them more illegal? And note the complaint that authorities did not arrive for more than an hour after the incident--while people were mortally wounded and with children in the house.
