Interesting story:

A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Monday that prosecutors may not rely on an international chemical weapons treaty to convict a woman who attacked her husband’s mistress.

…The justices threw out the conviction of REDACTED of Lansdale, Pa., who was prosecuted under a 1999 law based on the chemical weapons treaty. REDACTED served a six-year prison term after being convicted of using toxic chemicals that caused a thumb burn on a friend who had become her husband’s lover.

The intent of the chemical weapons treaty was to prevent a repeat of the use of mustard gas in World War I or toxic weapons in the Iraq-Iran war in the early 1980s, not “an amateur attempt by a jilted wife to injure her husband’s lover,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court.

Interesting view on international law, and not a “Gun Death” to boot!

Now this is not a death, but is a very serious attack:

The Japanese pop group AKB48 canceled planned appearances on Monday after two of its band members were attacked at an event on Sunday, The Associated Press reported.

AKB48, an all-female band that draws its membership from a rotating lineup of about 90 performers, played a concert in Takizawa, Japan, on Sunday, followed by an event where fans could purchase CDs and shake hands with the band members. There, a man, identified by The A.P. as AN ASSHOLE -ed, 24, used a foldable saw to attack the AKB48 performers Anna Iriyama, 18, and Rina Kawaei, 19, as well as a male staff member who works with the band and whose name was not given.

Now I have little interest in these pop groups, I don’t care how good my music groups look, or how well they dance. The fact that Rob Zombie puts on an Amazing stage show as well as makes music I love just shows what a Renaissance man he is.

Still this is big money and big entertainment, and these women rely on their looks as much as their other abilities, and saw wounds make NASTY scars. They may have a successful recovery, but that may be covered by makeup while on stage and in public. Even if the physical wounds heal the mental wounds may be horrible.

Say what you will about this profession, but it’s THEIR profession, and it is on the basic level their job just like your job is yours. Hell I have a fear that I might severely damage my hands making me unable or hindered at writing this blog…and this blog COSTS me money!

A horrible attack, but not a “gun attack”.

H/T Whipped Cream Difficulties

This one didn’t use a bathtub…Ye been warned.

A California mother was charged on Friday with first-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of her three daughters – all younger than 3 years of age – at their home in a working-class suburb of Los Angeles, prosecutors said.

…[she], also was charged with attempted murder of her own mother, was taken to a hospital after her arrest to be treated for self-inflicted stab wounds, the sheriff’s office said.

California has strict gun laws, it also has strict knife laws. Didn’t stop any of this. I’m sure ONE MORE LAW will do the trick and make California the safest state in the UNIVERSE!

Remember when we focus our attention to “Gun Deaths” utopia is RIGHT around the corner! Trust the .gov to save us all!
