First story:

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KABC) — One person was killed and eight others were wounded in a shooting late Friday night involving a large crowd that had gathered for a party in San Bernardino, authorities said.

The gunfire began just before midnight inside THA Blue Flame, a hookah bar near the intersection of Palm and Highland avenues, during a party, according to investigators.

The shooting then continued across the street, a witness told ABC7. The witness, who asked not to be identified by name, said she was at a nearby gas station when she saw teenagers who appeared to be gathered for a graduation party. She said at one point a car pulled into the gas station and a person opened fire from inside the vehicle, shooting two girls.

And the second story:

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – One person was killed and nine others injured during a shooting in San Bernardino Friday night.

Officers with the San Bernardino Police Department responded to a shopping plaza at the 3600 block of E. Highland Avenue just before midnight.

When officers arrived on scene, they located one victim dead outside a business. They say nine other people were shot while attending a party.

 One of the victims was as young as 10 years old and another was 12 years old. Many of those people transported themselves to the hospital. Their conditions are not known.

And yes, the race of the shooter (s) is not mentioned and probably won’t be till the news cycle finishes disappearing.

Compare it with the Buffalo Mass Shooting where we had color, motive name and photo of the asshole shooter within 2 hours of the event.

If the shooter ain’t White, the Mass Shooting does not count.

Tesla driver operating car on autopilot in deadly crash ordered to stand trial
Los Angeles driver to be tried on two counts of vehicular manslaughter

Kevin George Aziz Riad, 27, will be tried on two counts of vehicular manslaughter, Fox 11 LA reports.

Police reportedly said his Tesla Model S took a freeway exit and ran a red light before plowing into a Honda Civic Dec. 29, 2019.

The crash killed Gilberto Alcazar Lopez, 40, and Maria Guadalupe Nieves-Lopez, 39, who were on a first date the night of the accident.

The car’s Autosteer and traffic aware cruise control were activated at the time of the crash, according to prosecutors.

A Tesla engineer also testified that sensors indicated Riad had a hand on the steering wheel.

Crash data reportedly showed that no brakes were applied in the six minutes leading up to the accident.

Tesla officials have said that Autosteer and the more sophisticated “full self-driving” function cannot entirely drive the vehicle, and drivers must monitor and respond to needs based on traffic conditions.

Let me see if I understand the situation.

Tesla sells a car with a “full self-driving” mode.

Tesla says that actually full self-driving isn’t actually fully self-driving and the driver still have to drive the car because the full self-driving mode can malfunction and cause an accident.

If the driver doesn’t understand that full self-driving isn’t actually fully self-driving and causes and accident, the driver who was trusting the full self-driving mode is legally liable.

So why buy a self-driving car?

It only encourages you to not pay attention but requires you to pay attention while making you legally liable for its malfunctions.

This seems like more of a risk than not having it at all.

If people can’t trust their self-driving system and will go to jail if their self-driving system makes a mistake, self-driving is dead.

You may remember Samuel Young:

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — The man who was found guilty of several criminal charges for firing a gun at a Jeep he believed was trying to run over protesters on Interstate 225 was sentenced to no prison time and will serve five years probation.

Young will serve 90 days in jail for the first count of second-degree assault and an additional 30 days consecutively after for the second count as part of his sentencing. Young already has credit for 50 days served in jail.

The prosecution in Arapahoe County was seeking six years in the Department of Corrections, which was significantly less than the maximum time he faced under sentencing guidelines, which was 16 years.
…

At one point, a blue Jeep came speeding down the highway, past the crowd. The crowd rushed to get out of the way. That’s when prosecutors say Young pulled out his gun and fired five shots in the direction of the crowd. The bullets hit the back of the Jeep. Two fellow protesters were slightly wounded but the driver of the Jeep was not hit.

Young was originally charged with attempted murder but those charges were reduced.

SAMUEL YOUNG: I-225 protest shooter sentenced to probation | FOX31 Denver (kdvr.com)

Any of us not aligned with the politics of the Left, would have been tried to the full original charges of attempted murder, more than likely convicted and sentenced to the full extent.

I believe this was part of the continuous message sent to the Left: You will not face grave consequences if you perform violence in the name of our politics.

I read Miguel’s post:

Dear Remington: You can never satisfy them by conceding. Prepared to be reamed again.

And he very well may be right.

My comment to his post was: Remington paid the Dane geld, now they will never get rid of the Dane.

But then I remembered Gendron wrote about the Bushmaster in his Manifesto.

Here is some selected text on the subject:

I’m still taking the shooter’s manifesto at face value.

The shooter makes it crystal clear that he selected a pre-Remington Bushmaster rifle, and how much he hates Remington/Freedom Group Bushmaster rifles and thinks they are shit-tier rifles.

He said he chose the worse rifle for the job and it was the “cucked” version that was ban-compliant.

He also acknowledged that his selection was specifically to bait the media.

The Sandy Hook lawsuit was a travesty of justice.

To get around the PLCAA, the suit went after Bushmaster’s advertising.

They argued that Bushmaster advertised its rifle in such a way as to encourage killing with the tactical “assaultive” character of the rifle.

Considering that Lanza did not buy his rifle, but stole it from his mother after murdering her, the entirety of the argument was fallacious.

I am not a lawyer, so this this just my opinion, but:

Rem Arms/Bushmaster that exists today is two companies removed from the Bushmaster that made the rifle used by Gendron.

Gendron was explicit in not selecting a Remington/Rem Arms Bushmaster because of how bad they were.

He explicitly stated that he hated that he bought a “cucked” ban complaint rifle and had to modify it illegally to be acceptable.

So if Josh Kosoff tries and piggybacks this lawsuit on his Sandy Hook lawsuit, which is why he was consulted, I think Remington/Rem Arms has argument they their rifle was specifically not selected because the shooter hated it for its less than adequate performance, negating the entire argument made against Bushmaster in the Sandy Hook suit.

I also think that Bushmaster might have a counter suit potential against the media.  The argument being that the media’s vilification of Bushmaster has turned their brand into something akin to an attractive nuisance.  That people with ill intent will seek out Bushmaster rifles and do harm with them to bait the media.

It’s like the streakers at professional sports games. When the cameras followed the streakers and the commentators talked about them they would have more streakers.

Then sports networks changed and cut to commercial as soon as a streaker took the field and never talked about them, it stopped.

The incessant coverage of mass shooters and the model and/or brand that they used creates the same phenomenon.  Bad people will model their actions to maximize media coverage.

The media is more liable for this than the gun makers are.

Now I know the comments in this post are going to be full of “everything you say is irrelevant because New York is just as Leftist as Connecticut and the doesn’t matter anymore because the Left will bend and break every law they can to accomplish their goals.”

And cynical me agrees with but, but I have to hold out some hope that the law will prevail.

We’ll have to see how this goes but the shooter’s own manifesto should be enough to automatically dismiss any lawsuit against Remington/Rem Arms if they choose to fight it.

BIG BAR, Calif. — A woman who was attacked by a mountain lion in Northern California says her dog jumped to her defense and was badly wounded in protecting her.

“I don’t think I will ever be able to live up to how amazing and loyal she is to me,” Erin Wilson told the Sacramento Bee on Tuesday.

Wilson, 24, lives in rural Trinity County, about four hours northwest of Sacramento. On Monday, she drove to the Trinity River near unincorporated Big Bar to take an afternoon stroll with Eva, her 2 1/2-year-old Belgian Malinois.

Lesson one: If you look like cat food, you will be dinner. Unfortunately, we never know what predators of the four-legged species feel like having for supper. BE READY! BE ARMED! Yes, it California and she probably can’t get a gun, but use other weapons. Even a frigging walking stick is better than good wishes.

Lesson two: Belgian Malinois are awesome. We had two back in Venezuela. One was 100% police stock and the other was 50% Belgian Malinois and 50% Killdozer because he was HUGE for the breed. Mean assholes both of them when it came to strangers and invaders, but total puppies when it came to loved ones. Belgian Killdozer weighed more than the missus or my mom, but it became a huge teddy bear when he was around them. I was more of a chewtoy/plaything at fun times.   They are smart and very obedient and understand their place in the pack.

Stay frosty whenever you go into the wilds, carry something and having a good fierce companion is not a bad idea either.
