Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Dear New Jersey Cops: you don’t get an exception on magazines.

So, they can only have the 15+ mags on duty and while coming and going to an authorized place of duty.

I will say I agree, but I am dumbfounded about the political myopia that comes from not giving the exception to cops outside the job. Are they not expecting cops to be ticked off about possibly going to jail if they stave off an attack at home and they happen to use a gun with a 17 round mag?

I do believe New Jersey Gun Owners will benefit from the Separation of Liberal State and Law Enforcement.  Cops will be less inclined on giving them crap for having one of the Evil Assault Magazine Clips.

When an enemy is making a mistake, do not correct him as Bonaparte said once.

KFC is kicking off the holiday season with a log that it says smells like fried chicken.

On Thursday, the chicken chain announced that it would debut the KFC 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog. When lit, the log will smell like the chain’s fried chicken, it said.

Shoppers can buy a log for $US18.99 at KFCFirelogs.com starting Thursday.

KFC is now selling a log that smells like fried chicken

I don’t think I have expressed how much chicken disgusts me. Now you know how to get rid of me if I stay too long at your place .

He just will not leave and I wanna go to bed. I have a full day tomorrow!”
“I’ll just toss one of those KFC logs in the fireplace.”
“Then you’ll start craving biscuits.”
“It is a small price to pay for peace.”

 

Brady Bunch trying to capitalize on a School Shooting stopped by Good Guys with Guns.

Doing their best to be slick and failing;

A teenage suspect is dead after a shooting outside an Indiana middle school Thursday morning, police said.

The single shooter exchanged gunfire with police before killing himself, according to Indiana State Police Sgt. John Bowling.

No other students were injured in the incident at Dennis Intermediate School in Richmond, police said.

Bowling credited an unknown individual who warned police.

Middle school gunman exchanges fire with officers, kills himself: Police

It has to be hard in the honor when you must try to poach good news and misdirect people to remain relevant. If anything, it shows once again that Gun Control groups only strive if people die. Anybody with half a gram of decency would have congratulated the police and the student who warned them. Instead, they portray the attempted killer as the victim of this possible Mass Shooting.

Allow me to correct something: It is not hard on their honor. They simply do not have any. They are scum.

 

And they discovered water is wet.

The panel investigating the Florida high school massacre recommended Wednesday that teachers who volunteer and undergo extensive background checks and training be allowed to carry concealed guns on campus to stop future shootings.

The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission voted 13-1 to recommend the Legislature allow the arming of teachers, saying it’s not enough to have one or two police officers or armed guards on campus.

MSD Public Safety Commission Recommends Arming Teachers

Unless the newly elected governor makes it a personal thing and shames the hell out of the Legislature, I expect them to do nothing about this due to the pressure of the Gun Control groups and the Teacher’s Union. The other issue would be that the Legislators that still remain would have to eat crow and admit they were wrong in not only passing a rushed law, but caving to the Union and Gun Control and they would probably rather have more kids die than appear stupider and let us not forget that the new senate president gleefully admitted cashing in $200,000 from Bloomberg.

Again, Governor-Elect DeSantis would have to make it a personal mission and he could begin by suspending the Broward County School Board or at least send people from the Department of Education to take over the functions of the idiots that created and maintained the system that allowed Cruz to kill. If heads do not roll, the bad behavior is basically rewarded and significant changes will not be enacted.  In fact, the school boards are still trying to kill the Guardian program (School personnel except teachers that could be trained and armed) and have the money allocated to it (Not quite remember, but close to $50 million) to be transferred to them.

And that brings one important subject: money. The Legislature set aside close to half a billion dollars with SB7026. This money is to cover from hardening schools to improving the Mental records reporting to Law Enforcement and the Guardian Program. In order to actually keep the waste to a minimum and see that true safety gets implemented (somewhat) not one single cent should go through the hands of any school board in the State of Florida. I am far from a Central Government type, but after finding out that lying and presenting false reports about crime in their districts by too many school boards across Florida, there is no way that we can trust them with money entitled to keep the kids safe. If it means the Department of education gets to become bigger, so be it. and please, make sure they do not hire anybody who has served in any school board for the past decade. I would not mind hiring former LEOs and Veterans to harden our schools.

That’ll be all for now.

 

 

 

 

A Feel-Good Decission That Will Be Reversed.

The only armed deputy stationed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School the day of Nikolas Cruz’s deadly rampage asked a Broward judge on Wednesday to find he had “no legal duty” to protect the students and faculty from harm.

The judge rejected his argument.

Scot Peterson, who resigned from the Broward Sheriff’s Office in late February and is accused of shirking his responsibility by hiding instead of confronting Cruz, wanted Broward Circuit Judge Patti Englander Henning to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the family of Meadow Pollack, one of 17 people shot and killed in the Parkland school on Feb. 14.

“We want to say he had an obligation, but the law isn’t that,” said Peterson’s lawyer, Michael Piper. “From a legal standpoint, there was no duty.”

Englander Henning saw it differently, finding Peterson had a duty to the school community as someone whose job was security and who had an “obligation to act reasonably” under the circumstances of the shooting.

Scot Peterson argues he didn’t have to intervene in Parkland school shooting. A judge disagrees.

What the judge did was an act of cruelty.  We are well aware of SCOTUS decisions on No Duty To Protect and unless she is trying to establish that being assigned as a School Resource Officer is interpreted as ” Special Relationship” which is the exception to No Duty To Protect. 

I found this excellent paper explaining the Special Relationship exception. And as usual IANAL warning.

To establish a special relationship, a plaintiff has the burden of proving: (1) an assumption by the municipality, through promises or actions, of an affirmative duty to act on behalf of the party who was injured; (2) knowledge on the part of the municipality’s agents that inaction could lead to harm; (3) some form of direct contact between the municipality’s agents and the injured party; and (4) the injured party’s justifiable reliance on the municipality’s affirmative undertaking.5 All four elements must be proven, and if not, the claim will fail.

Right off the bat and with the first item, the judge’s decision seems to come apart:

The first element, an assumption by the municipality, through promises or actions, of an affirmative duty to act on behalf of the injured party, usually involves a clear promise to take specific action on behalf of a specific individual. The promise must be definite enough to generate justifiable reliance by a plaintiff. Vague and ambiguous assurances are general statements that do not rise to the level of an affirmative duty to protect an individual.

Unless the sad sack Scot Peterson made a clear promise to Meadow Pollack as required by the SCOTUS decision, there is no exception by Special Relationship of No Duty to Protect. Since this was not probably not the case, the decision cannot stand. I just cannot believe that the judge ignored this and went ahead with the decision just to make Peterson spend money on appeals. Although it might be a satisfactory feeling, it is a waste of time and taxpayer’s money to possibly engage in legal spite.

I do believe in Karma and Peterson has a bill coming.
