Finally! Cabinet Nominee I can truly support
And if I am not mistaken, that would be Kathy “Cornered Cat” Jackson doing the cheer-leading 🙂
Hey Sparky! Life is not the movies… Specially in Florida
Dear God: Keep the Bad Guys this stupid forever and ever, Amen
Neighbors spotted Bobby Harris, 53, looking into a window along Starke Lake Circle in Ocoee, while he was wearing a Halloween mask on October 20. Police said he was peeping on a mom and her three girls, and that mom went after him with her gun.
“He was trying to get inside the door. Pretty scary. He was wearing a Jason mask,” said Carmine Santiago, who saw Harris looking into her neighbor’s house. She recognized him from fliers police handed out just weeks before.
“I don’t know what his intentions were to get in, but there’s no telling,” said Betsy Cornele. ” (I was) Scared and ready to get the gun.”
The mother of three grabbed her handgun, ran outside and fired three warning shots into the ground. That scared him off, and eventually authorities arrested Harris.
Good for Mommy! Now let’s how that the other masked monster does not show up and charges her with assault with a deadly weapon.

I have an idea for a gun.
Let’s design a gun with a manual of arms that makes sure it breaks all four of the Rules of Gun Safety and a couple of others. Also it has to be uncomfortable and unreliable.

Virginia Tech: Verdict Reversed. The ‘Why’ will come as shock for many.
The state Supreme Court has reversed a jury’s wrongful death verdict against the state stemming from the killings of 32 students and faculty at Virginia Tech in 2007.
In a decision issued Thursday, the justices say the state had no duty to warn students of the potential acts of a lone student-gunman who initially shot two in a dormitory before killing 30 more people. He then killed himself.
No Duty to Protect. We have known this for a long while now, but the majority of people still do not know about it.
I think partially it is intended that the knowledge does not become too public. It will not bade well on police budgets that people may suddenly say “But if you have no duty to protect us, why should my hard-earned dollars go to buy you shiny new toys and pay for great benefit packages?”
And the Gun Control groups must have the idea perpetuated that Only Cops Should Have Guns Because They Will Protect Us or their house of cards will collapse even faster.
And just as a reminder, allow me to quote myself:
“I’m sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly’s actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus.”
Larry Hincker, January 31, 2006.
When he said that, he was celebrating the defeat of a measure that would have allowed Students, Faculty and Personnel from Virginia Tech to carry guns on Campus provided they had a Concealed Carry Permit. In April 16, 2007 Seung-Hui Cho made a liar out Mr. Henckler with bloody efficiency. Amazingly Mr. Hinckler is not only roaming free but still works for Virginia Tech.
This is far from Cop Bashing but realizing that they cannot be everywhere all the time. 99% of all cops would not hesitate to charge to the sound of musketry to save the lives of the innocent, but numbers and physics impede that self-imposed duty. We must realize and make other people understand that we are the first responders to any unwarranted violent action against ourselves and that rubbing 3 digits on a cell phone will not instantly produce a genie dressed in blue.
John Lott studies the study on Racism & Gun Ownership. Not surprised at the result
Given the discussion is racism here, wouldn’t it be useful to note that over 91 percent of blacks are murdered by other blacks. Similarly, 84 percent of whites are murdered by other whites. One thing is clear, whites aren’t getting guns to kill blacks…..
…..Now rerunning the same regression on non-whites. Despite the much smaller sample, you still get statistically significant effect for this supposed measure of symbolic racism. So are non-whites who are racist against blacks more likely to own a gun? Hardly seems reasonable.
If you are seriously into statistics, you will enjoy his careful dissection. I will admit that this is a wee bit over my head, but Lott’s has a long tradition of bulletproof research so I’ll go with him.
It was a good Halloween.
That was the image that greeted Trick-or-Treaters at my location. I never spoke and only communicated with slow, deliberate hand signs. I could tell you all kinds of funny stories about people almost peeing their pants after they realized the tomahawk was the real thing when I forcefully embedded it on the stand, but the best was not that.
Two young kids I figure were about 6 or 7 came to the door and were suitably impressed/afraid. One of them asked me what was I and I remained silent. The other one looked me up and down, looked at the mess, smiled and yelled: “He is a Zombie Killer!”
They could not see the huge smile under the whited out visor, but they did get extra candy and chocolates. As if to finally make me almost shed a tear, they both went
“Thank You Mr.Zombie Killer. Happy Halloween!”
It was a good day to be MHI.
PS: Second best comment was the first kids that knocked on my door. I’d say about 12-14 years of age and they did not approach willingly. One of them said to the other:
“Dude….this is not normal.”
