But does anyone actually give a crap what CNN thinks?

Despite The Continuing Decline In Violent Crime and Homicides, CNN Pushing For Repeal Of The Laws Driving The Decline

Poor choice of victim can be hazardous to one's health.

I missed this one. Two armed burglars broke into a house in Jacksonville NC and decided to wait for the home owners to return. When the residents returned it appears a fire fight erupted resulting in the deaths of the two burglars and injuries to the residents. The residents were treated at a local hospital and released. Two of the residents were Marines from nearby Camp Lejeune.

I suspect that if we can't get them in-country by November, the Obama Administration, assuming he wins the election, will find some way to screw it up.

Twenty years ago today...

...the Los Angles riots broke out when the police officer accused of beating Rodney King were found not guilty. Three days and fifty-three deaths later they ended. You decide if we'll have more of this to look forward to with the Zimmerman trial. I get the feeling that some news outlets hope we will. Be careful what you wish for.

Woman shoots home invader.

In Fayetteville, North Carolina A home owner was awakened from her nap by the sound of glass breaking. She discovered a man trying to unlock her kitchen window. He yelled at them then fired. She struck one in the chest. Both subjects ran. One was later taken into custody at a local hospital. Both teenagers are in custody. There are no plans to charge the home owner. This is why we have and need a Castle Doctrine.

Seventy-three years ago today...

...DC Comics published Detective Comics #27 and introduced The Batman for the first time.

She stood her ground.

In Georgia, a fifty-seven year old grandmother shot one would be robber in the chest and scared the other armed robber off in an exchange of gunfire. She was in the front seat when the two approached her vehicle, demanded money, then opened fire when she didn't obey. Robber #1 is in the hospital with a chest wound. Robber #2 is in custody. Other than the bullet holes in her vehicle, she's fine and still feisty. .

Rough times coming.

I could say and so it begins but that wouldn't be correct. The battle for our Sencond Amendment rights never stopped. There was a lull at most. The gun control crowd have been getting their asses handed to them lately, but they all belong to the "never let a crisis got to waste" crowd. Trayvon Martin and Stand Your Ground are the "crisis" they wanted. They may see this as their last chance to turn the tide. They have money and the media. Tough. Our grassroots beats their astroturf. We're better at this than they are. We can guess what's to come in the next legislative sessions. Start calling you representatives now and let them know where you stand.

9-year-old suspended after he says he stood up to a bully

In a Colorado school a nine year old was the target of two bullies. They would knock him around. He would tell the teacher as he had been told to do, and #$%& all would happen. Finally, with the approval of his parents, he defended himself and got suspended. It's the school's pesky zero tolerance policy regarding violence. It doesn't acknowledge that violence can have a positive result like ending the attacks on a nine year old by grade school thugs. A school spokesperson said...

District 11 schools employ many anti-bullying teaching techniques … and none of these methods include violence or retaliation.”

None of them seem to be effective either any more than zero tolerance polices are.
