In what appears to be yet another politically-motivated prosecution of a white police officer who lawfully defended himself from a violent, non-compliant black suspect, Grand Rapids Officer Christopher Schurr has been charged with second-degree murder over the April 4, 2022 shooting death of Patrick Lyoya, according to FOX News.

Officer Charged with Murder in Shooting of Suspect Who Seized Control of Taser – Law of Self Defense

When I saw the videos back when they got released, I had the feeling this had the chance to be a political clown show and it seems I was right.

But the weather is different now. BLM not only does not have the same clout it had once, it is pretty much going downhill when it comes to reputation.  Will it be protests and riots? You betcha ’cause free shopping is always accepted by the scum of the earth under the mantle of Social Justice.

Miguel posted the clip from CNN about the ballistics testing of rifle and pistol ammo from Wayne State University.

Yes, rifle ammunition generally has more terminal performance than handgun ammunition.

The thing I don’t get about this point is this:

Are they arguing that handgun rounds are more survivable than rifle rounds so handguns are less bad?

We in the shooting world know our gold rule is “Never point the gun at anything you don’t intend to destroy.”

We understand that the intent of shooting something alive is to kill it.

We don’t bet on survivability of a wound as a safety factor.

Nobody says “don’t point a rifle as something you don’t intend to kill but you can take that risk with a handgun because they’re not as dangerous.”

I fundamentally cannot wrap my mind around the implied argument that maybe if a school shooter used a handgun or a 22 those kids would have been wounded but alive, but because he used an AR they are all dead.

No.

We understand guns and we understand that one should assume that anything hit with a bullet is going to die.

Of all the attacks on guns that the anti-gun world is making, this is one that really shorts out my logic circuits.

Plus, probably would end in the hands of Drug Cartels or the Taliban making it a Straw Purchase, also illegal.

CNN explains to you, peasants, the nuclear-like destructive power of an AR 15, a semi-automatic rifle.

(Cue dramatic music)

The Power Of Semi Automatic Weapons! ZOMG!

(Cue LAPD expert)

“Sgt James Savoravan knows first hand… he took fire during the infamous North Hollywood shootout…”

Except the critters in the North Hollywood Shootout were using modified AK 47s to shoot full automatic in 7.62 Russian, not 5.56.

I stopped there. I just not in the mood to deal with that crap. You guys find anything else, just drop it in the comments.

CNN cannot help but lie. But if they reported the truth, they would stop being the Propaganda Arm of the Left in this country.

And in case you don’t know CNN’s prior bullshit reporting, here you go:

Another Broward Sheriff being a lying sack of shit. It seems it is a requirement for that particular office.
Sheriff Jenne did end up in federal prison for assorted malfeasances.

The camera not only has facial recognition, it also has a metal detector, weapon detection, it’s connected to the cloud. And maybe best of all, it has artificial intelligence. It learns. It can recognize a gun in someone’s hand and it gets smarter with each use.

“So it’s scanning in real time, so it’s going to send an alert to the head of security if it detects anything,” said Kapu

Metro Schools has 135 cameras to stop active shooters. Why aren’t they being used? | WZTV (fox17.com)

If I have learned something is that cameras do nothing but to collect evidence. If somebody is ready to die while taking a bunch of kids with him, he is not going to give a damn if the artificial intelligence detects his gun.   So, unless those cameras are set a top of a remote gun or there are people in the school with guns, the guy with the computer and the joystick will only gets to push an alarm button and call 911.

From NPR:

Inflation soars to an over 40-year high. These are the ways Americans are coping

Clay Watkins loves LaCroix brand sparkling water — especially the watermelon flavor.

So the suburban Chicago school teacher was excited when he spotted it on sale at his local grocery store: two packages for $8.

“I went to grab the package and I was like, ‘Wait a second,'” Watkins recalls.

He was surprised to find a package that once held 12 cans of sparkling water had been downsized to 8 — with no change in price — a common practice known as “shrinkflation.”

“I’m not a mathematician,” he says. “I teach science. But I think that’s a 33% price increase.”

The Labor Department said Friday that consumer prices in May were 8.6% higher than a year ago — the largest increase since December of 1981. Prices rose 1% between April and May, led by jumps in the price of gasoline, groceries and rent.

Davey says since that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushed gasoline prices through the roof even middle-income consumers have begun pushing back against price hikes. They’re increasingly turning to discount stores and opting for cheaper generic products.

Joanne Lee buys regular eggs now, not the more-expensive, free-range kind she prefers. She’s traded down on her salad toppings as well.

“There’s a certain crouton that I like. But that is like $1.50 more than the generic Kroger brand, so I’ve switched over,” Lee says. “They’re not bad. But they’re not the quality that I usually like.”

LaCroix is the favorite swill of AWFLs, so it can go to $8 a can for all I give a fuck, and I hope it does.

This whole article is just grotesque in its framing:

Woe into the poor bottom rung of the elite who are forced to buy the store brand of their favorite elite free range organic products like the rest of us haven’t been scrimping and saving on generics and buying in bulk for a while now.

But maybe this is a good thing. When some AWFL has to settle for generic zero calorie artificial fruit flavored carbonated piss-water over the brand with the elitist French name, maybe she can Karen at a Democrat fund raiser and they might actually fucking do something.

I’m going to keep bringing these up because they are important.

The victim did not die, thank God.

But he did lose consciousness, which means a concussion and some sort of brain injury.

The most dangerous part of these sucker punches is that when the victim falls over and his his/her head on the ground.  That is usually what is fatal.

This guy probably survived because the way he fell he hit butt first then hit his head.  When the guys topple over sideways and strike the ground head first is often fatal.

The attacker was charged with two counts of assault, but really this should be attempted murder.

Unarmed does not mean not dangerous.  A sucker punch from an adult male is devastating.
