From one of my Brit PD Twitter feeds:

I checked the label and it said “Tramontina” which is a brand of machetes from Brazil. It shows in a website as the Tramontina Bolo Machete at a grand total of $14 plus shipping.

This cheap Brazilian machete made it to the Great Britain through the customs controls it has established and still went through ended up in somebody’s hands who appears to had it lost and the cops found it.

I watch Forged on Fire and by now I am well than aware that decent quality blades can be forged with a car’s leaf spring. How many junkyards you figure there are in the British Isles?

The real Mad Max World is going to be held in England rather than Australia and be conquered by those who can smuggle of forge a blade.

MIAMI (AP) — Officials were so concerned about the mental stability of the student accused of last month’s Florida school massacre that they decided he should be forcibly committed.

But the recommendation was never acted upon.
A commitment under the law would have made it more difficult if not impossible for Cruz to obtain a gun legally.

Cruz is accused of the shooting rampage that killed 14 students and three school employees at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on Feb. 14. In addition, 17 people were wounded.
But more than a year earlier, documents in the criminal case against Nikolas Cruz and obtained by The Associated Press show school officials and a sheriff’s deputy recommended in September 2016 that Cruz be involuntarily committed for a mental evaluation.

Some wanted Florida shooting suspect committed in 2016.

I am not surprised and I actually I was expecting this. But the next part opens more questions than gives answers.

The documents were provided by a psychological assessment service initiated by Cruz’s mother called Henderson Behavioral Health. The documents show a high school resource officer who was also a sheriff’s deputy and two school counselors recommended in September 2016 that Cruz be committed for mental evaluation under Florida’s Baker Act. That law allows for involuntary commitment for mental health examination for at least three days.

Why did the Deputy did not start the Baker Act Procedures?  LEOs can get it started if they see a suspect that can be a danger to himself or others. And if he wanted to commit Cruz via Baker Act, how come it did not happen? Was it laziness or orders not to upset the statistical apple cart with a bad entry?

More and more convincing evidence is coming out that this was a preventable event, something that does not happen often. And instead of going after those who failed on their duties and pass legislation that prohibits the doctoring of school crime and violence records, citizens in the Sunshine State got shafted by a weak-kneed GOP and a Governor who probably got advised by a former Jeb Bush electoral advisor that signing the legislation would make him the next U.S. Senator for the state of Florida.

I want to go to the certain public range where certain Sheriff Office is always harassing shooters and just let one magazine rip off by bump fire. When the SWAT team finally arrives, manages to jump over the 300 deputies hiding behind their cars and asks me to surrender the evil device, this will be my answer.

DENVER — No bump stocks have been turned over to Denver authorities after the city banned the accessories used in last year’s mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed 58 people and injured hundreds.

Denver Police police last month invited city residents to turn in any bump stocks in their possession but Denverite reports that none have been handed over.

No bump stocks turned in to Denver police after ban

C’mon, let’s face it: They were not that many to begin with and people are jst ignoring the crap out of the silly resolution.

Dear Denver City Council, you just were told to GFY

From the YouTube page:

Video of Rocky Point PTA meeting March 14 appears to show attendee pull out a pocket knife to make a point about school safety to a student in attendance.

I love the way that people just lose it. I think that the victim mentality was properly represented by the guy who kept screaming “It is illegal!” Well, duh! Of course it is but so is bringing a gun to school and shooting people to death, but that does not stop a determined killer.

Police would have taken 4 minutes as the guy said, that is a lot of time. If you don’t think so, the video is only 2 minutes and 44 seconds.

“What are you gonna do about it?”
