He makes some great arguments. Reminds me of when Bush was pushing the Patriot act, I told Republicans I know “Do you know we’ll have a Democrat in office someday, right?”
Of course partisan hacks, Republican or Democrat don’t think that way, they just waive pom-poms and cheer for their team.
I have no team.
I don’t use RSS readers. I probably should, but overall I just randomly wander the net when I want something to read, and I never find time to read it all anyway.
Still somebody read one of my recent posts from this RSS reader.
If you’re an RSS user and want something to replace the old Google Reader give it a try and leave me a comment on what you think of it.
First Breda gives me a mix of Dubstep and Irish Dance:
Neat!
Also too much news of the wounded Boston fugitive put this classic song in my head:
Pulled on trouble’s braids he did!
We talked about this story in The Squirrel Report, video via ENDO
Not only are the cops being over-zealous and ignorant of the law.
Further watch how the officer muzzles him with his own .45.
One of my greatest fears as a lawful owner is being disarmed by an ignorant and over-zealous cop who’s only firearm experience is with his duty weapon, and who’s safe-handling skills are non-existant, and there I am on the wrong side of the “Thin Blue Line” with a gunshot wound from my own gun.
This is even more of a threat than that of an assault in my book.
Man, I can’t even believe the bombing was just last Monday, there has been so much crap it feels like WEEKS.
Lockdown has been lifted, and the suspect apprehended….and apprehended ALIVE!
Police found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev hiding on a boat stored in a backyard on Franklin Street. Police exchanged gunfire with him before capturing him alive. Spontaneous celebrations erupted across the region, from the Boston Common to the Back Bay streets near the bombing.
The boat’s owners, a couple, spent Friday hunkered down under the stay-at-home order. When it was lifted early in the evening, they ventured outside for some fresh air and the man noticed the tarp on his boat blowing in the wind, according to their his son, Robert Duffy.
The cords securing it had been cut and there was blood near the straps. Duffy’s father called police, who swarmed the yard and had the couple evacuated, Duffy said.
After the stink of martial law in the Boston Metro area, I’m kinda glad he wasn’t killed at the scene in Chris Dorner fashion. I’m sure if he lives I’ll regret that with bullshit show trials a-la Nidal Hassan.
Also in other grim news did you know he isn’t being read his Miranda rights? He is an alleged terrorist with Al Queda ties, but he’s also a naturalized US Citizen apprehended on US soil. I just don’t see all this “wartime” crap being necessary.
I’m also not going to shed too many tears for who is certainly a very bad man, but bad men have rights as well.
Be safe out there people!
A central Ohio doctor was charged Wednesday with rape and two counts of murder in the death of a pregnant woman, whose body was found last summer in her car after she had headed to a house-cleaning job listed in an online ad.
Crazy, but not only is it a gun death, but one of the deaths is an unborn baby which is just a parasitic lump of cells, right?
Looks like the Lockdown of the Boston Metro area has been lifted. The bad news is that the bombing suspect is still at large.
When the events started early this morning I found the lockdown was a great idea. Allegedly the suspects had killed a cop, and carjacked a civilian to escape. It made perfect sense to stunt Boston’s horrific traffic, and close off the public transit which both gives escape routes, but also supplies crowds that can be harmed with bombs and suicide vests.
Locking down the areas around where the suspect may be makes perfect sense. But the area kept getting bigger rather than smaller as the day went on, and really it started to reeking of martial law.
**BREAKING**
I’m currently watching the news as I type and there it talk that the suspect has been found. I’m going to chill out with my wife and watch the news, and I’ll give you all an update in the morning.
Looks like most of Boston is shut down, as well as the surrounding cites.
I’m still at home waiting for the all-clear. There is some strong action at a home in Watertown that might be the suspect being cornered, but its all unconfirmed.
I’m safe here, and I hope all others in the Boston Metro are safe too.
Things are a mess here, and I’m doing a LOT of communicating with coworkers, but it looks like the police have caught up with the bombers.
The City of Boston and surrounding towns are on lockdown, and I’ll be staying home until the coast is clear.
Be safe out there.
A 17-year-old girl working at a restaurant in Iowa City has been accused of stabbing a customer.
The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports the girl was charged Tuesday with attempted murder. She is being held on a $500,000 bond.
A criminal complaint says the girl attacked a woman Monday at Red Pepper Deli & Grill. Police say the girl stabbed the woman several times with an 8-inch knife from the restaurant’s kitchen. The customer’s injuries, including to her left hand and left elbow, are not life-threatening.
At 17 you can’t buy a gun, but it doesn’t mean you can’t be a threat. Still I guess only “Gun Death” should count, right?
