We're the Only Ones Wrong Enough But We'll Assault Your Kids Anyway

A cop accused a fast food worker of short-changing him. Then he sprayed her in the face with mace. And it turns out she was right all along. [More]

What a big, brave man.

My favorite line:
"Officer McDonald was cleared of any wrongdoing."
Yes.

Of course he was.

Night of the Evil Streets

Seven years ago, the streets swallowed up Clifton Montgomery and spat him into an Ohio prison after he was convicted of aggravated robbery and burglary...Money drove Montgomery, who was released from prison more than a month ago. Now he wants to steer youth away from the route he took.

Montgomery is one of many local people featured in Peace by Peace, an anti-gun violence documentary...
Yeah, the streets do that to me all the time, too. It's not like I have free will or anything.

Sorry, Clifton. You've only been out a month. You've got a lot of proving to do before I'll want you anywhere near me. In the meantime, if you don't mind, or especially if you do, I'll keep some firearms handy over here.

Just in case those streets work their mind-consuming magic on you again...

We're the Only Ones Off Duty Enough

A gun stolen from a high ranking San Antonio police officer's car is now in the hands of thieves.

It happened at Tokyo Steakhouse off of San Pedro Wednesday evening, while Deputy Chief Rudy Gonzales was at the restaurant off-duty.
Way to go, Rudy. Now, when some lowlife pops a cap into somebody with your negligently stored gun, maybe the San Antonio SWAT team can raid the wrong house again, and you can be out in front of the microphones swearing "everything was done by procedure."

We're NOT the Only Ones...

A 38-year-old man was kidnapped in front of his house Thursday morning by three men armed with guns and dressed as police, authorities confirmed.
And when you're conditioned to automatically submit to authority...

The 81-Year-Old Woman Could Only Watch Helplessly...

AN ELDERLY woman watched in terror as robbers shoved a gun in her son's mouth.

The 81-year-old woman could only watch helplessly after three men forced their way into her flat demanding cash and threatening her son at gunpoint.
What kind of sick control freak would demand a mother be helpless to protect her child? Or that a man should be helpless to protect his aged mother? And what degeneration of the human spirit must occur for sovereign, free-willed individuals to accept this as their lot in life?

Bloomberg Plots Surprise Suspension of 4th Amendment

As New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg explained it, safety officers will use mobile scanners starting this spring, allowing them to make unannounced visits to city middle and high schools to check for weapons.

Students will be asked to go through detectors similar to those used in airports.

"Our reasons for doing this couldn't be clearer or more compelling," said Bloomberg. "We have zero tolerance for weapons of any kind in city schools."
Plus, our desire to indoctrinate them into the mindset of being inmates instead of citizens couldn't be more clear and compelling, either.

Any bets Mikey's taxpayer-funded bodyguards observe his zero tolerance policy when he visits a stalag...I mean...campus?

Mr. Darwin, the New Nominee Has Arrived...

Police officials said Barcott was visiting friends when he retrieved a gun and suggested they play Russian Roulette. He then loaded one bullet into the cylinder, spun it and closed it.

His friends told him not to fire, but Barcott put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, police officials said.
Maybe if California passed a law making it illegal to "sell a handgun to an individual under 21 years of age..."

What? They already did?

Then how did this happen?

Anti-Gun Film DOA

Guns are bad. They fire bullets. They hurt people.

That's the message "American Gun" hits its audience over the head with, using all the grace and finesse of a pistol whipping.
Boring, overbearing, repetitive and negative: Yep, sounds like the antis to me.
