Cardboard MBTA cop may actually invite crime once word gets out

This, of course, presupposes meaningful data trends can be established through such a limited sampling, especially since it has not yet been established what the reaction will be once criminals learn that police are trying to trick them with … scarecrows. In fairness to the idea though, the cardboard cutout looks like it would stand almost as good a chance at catching a nimble, youthful bike thief as its real-life counterpart. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner offering notes a two-dimensional fake may be the least shallow and phony thing about Boston-area law enforcement.

We're the Only Ones Repositioning Enough

Yeah, I'll bet they repositioned, and quickly! [More]

Frickin' idiot.

Will This Role Model Disappoint Us, Too?

50 Cent charged with domestic violence, ordered by judge to surrender all firearms, up to 5 years in jail [More]
There must be some mistake--he's always seemed so respectful of women...and so responsible with firearms.

Perhaps we ought to start keeping tabs on prominent Obama supporters the same way we do illegal mayors...

It's George's Fault

Not Bush, Zimmerman. [Watch]

At least Marvin Amerson ended up doing the right thing.

OK, Iowans... [More]

Brady Case Against Armslist Dismissed

The Court agrees. "In general, one has no duty to control the conduct of another to prevent him from causing harm to a third party, but there are exceptions to this, based on "special relationships." [More]
The antis keep wanting to have it both ways, with duties on citizens, like this, or to retreat when lives are being threatened, that the "Only Ones" are exempt from.

Funny. The Bradys don't seem to want to talk about their losses...

We're the Only Ones Extra-Spicy Enough

Deputy accused of pepper-spraying teen's pizza faces charges Monday [More]
If true, why is a potentially lethal assault only a misdemeanor?

A Premium on Partisanship?

Kurt tells us about a HuffPo "blogger" who is stumping for mandatory gun insurance, putting his foot in the door first with concealed carriers. [More]

Per OpenSecrets.org, someone with the same name, and from the same town, is a long-time and substantial contributor to the Democratic National Committee.

It's fair to wonder...

And Leave the Driving to Us

Prosecutors will determine whether to charge the driver with child neglect. [More]
Why?

Your average bus driver is hardly likely to be  able to physically intervene in a situation like this, and he's legally prohibited from having the means at hand to stop it instantly.

If any responsibility is shared -- beyond that primarily belonging to the little savages -- it would be with legislators and administrators who knowingly places those they compel attendance from in mortal danger.

You go ahead and question his actions, Chief Vincent.  Even after the fact, you don't know that the guy wasn't trying to make sure he didn't have a heart attack. How armed "Only Ones," who have no duty to protect -- and who lock themselves up and hide when real danger appears, with no legal repercussions -- have the gall to suggest unarmed bus drivers have a greater duty than they do  is just insane.

Another Incident That's Your Fault

Here's another one where I find I'm focusing on a comment:

Ok gun nuts........still don't want gun control???? It's getting closer to home.......
What did you have in mind, Eddie?  Got anything besides your opinion to validate it would work?

We're the Only Ones Heroic Enough

Not just the pushy violence-initiator in the video, but the "stand by our man" commentators... [More]

They seriously think this is a good enough reason to assault another human being. And show their contempt for anyone suggesting otherwise.

To anyone who argues there are only a few bad apples and most are great guys who support our rights, wake the hell up. No wonder these guys don't allow non-"Only One" posts.

Great Expectations

So on this Hiroshima anniversary day, I would helpfully suggest that our collectivist leaders consider history and the Law of Unintended Consequences before it bites them where they live. [More]
