A police force has been slammed for failing to dispatch officers to a woman who warned them five times she felt scared shortly before she was stabbed to death by her ex lover.
Jeanette Goodwin, 47, was murdered in a horrific knife-attack at her home in Southend, Essex, in July 2011.
Hey, but this is England, where they have such low “Gun Death”! The antis are just glad she wasn’t shot!
The police will uphold the law for the masses, but when it comes to the individual, your safety is up to you! AND…
Now where this would be REALLY awesome is in states where open carry is legal and gaining acceptance. Its a nice way to show your appreciation of your fellow carriers. See a guy open carrying, shake their hand and hand them the coin.
Its a bit harder here, tho last night I could have used one. I was eating at a restaurant when I saw a dude in a military jacket with an OD Green Flag patch on one shoulder and a Gadsden Flag on the other. He had some sort of Gadsden Logo on his hat as well. Let’s just say nobody else noticed him, but he was practically SCREAMING “Good Guy” to me. So while the wife and I ate I watched his 4:00, and finally did see what was likely the butt print off a pistol. I could have been wrong, as he was concealing well, but we all know EVERYTHING prints, you just need to look for it.
He earned a challenge coin. Too bad I didn’t have one.
The lockdown at FAU has been lifted after an armed intruder held up a person at gunpoint. No word yet if the suspect has been apprehended….t was issued after an armed robbery occurred in the Arts and Letters building (building 9) on the Boca Raton campus around 1:10 p.m., according to the university.
FAU said the victim was a student who had a gun put to his head.
They have campus police, but no hard security or checkpoints…but they have “Gun Free Zone” Laws…so those work AWESOME!
Obviously this robber was illiterate and couldn’t read the signs informing him as a “Gun Free Zone”…trust the anti-freedom people, these laws really do work!
A man was stabbed in the chest early this morning and has since died from his injuries. Detectives from the Homicide and Assault Unit are on scene and have begun their investigation.
At approximately 1:45 am, the victim, a man in his early twenties, was walking with his girlfriend in the 2200 Block of 1st Avenue when they got into an argument with a group of at least four Hispanic males. The victim attempted to walk away from the suspects toward his car in the 2300 Block of 1st Avenue. Sometime during that confrontation one of the suspects stabbed the victim in the chest. The victim collapsed to the ground and 911 was called. Seattle Fire Medics responded and despite their efforts, the victim died at the hospital.
Ban all those guns, and even confiscate all the illegal ones or manufacturing, we’ll still have these murders. Its almost like tools don’t cause crime!
A Florida teen who fatally shot his father in a desperate bid to save his mother from being choked has not been charged, police said….”He [Christopher Thorpe] was beating her; [he] kept punching her,” Debbie Carter, a spokeswoman for the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, told Fox affiliate WTVT. “Then they went from the living room to the master bedroom where he kept beating her.”
The couple’s 17-year-old son, Channing Thorpe, rushed in and shot his father when he saw him beating and strangling his mother in their bedroom, according to police.
The teenager fired several shots at his father from a handgun. The boy then called the Sheriff’s Office to report he had shot his father. Deputies later found Christopher Thorpe, 36, dead in the master bedroom.
One of the bullets also hit 35-year-old Jill Thorpe in the thigh. She was treated at an area hospital and later released.
Police did not arrest the teen, who was left in the custody of his mom.
Now I can assume that all the stories lined up from witnesses, and injuries found on Mom and Dad, as well as the general fact that in stories where domestic partners attempt or succeed to beat the other to death there is generally a long list of domestic calls leading up for years. Unless there is some VERY sloppy police work the evidence is huge supporting this defensive gun use.
Still at 17 he’s still a kid, and I doubt he learned how to shoot a gun yesterday. Even if Dad wasn’t planning on murder TODAY, he’d have eventually gotten there.
Horrible story, but the poor kid saved his Mom’s life. The Antis would rather she be dead, and the kid in foster care.
Also I’ll close on the final more important note, if you are in an abusive relationship GET OUT NOW! It will ONLY get worse and they will eventually go too far and kill you. When you “think of your children”, as some abused spouses do, think of them with one parent dead from violent ends.
GET OUT NOW! Also get some help for whatever made you think such behavior was alright in the first place!
The new estimate shows that polar melting contributed about one-fifth of the overall global sea level rise since 1992; other factors include warming that causes the seawater to expand.
The study does not seek to forecast future change.
Supported by US and European space agencies Nasa and Esa, the research brought together data from satellites measuring the surface altitude, the flow of the glaciers and the gravitational effect of the ice mass to produce the first joint assessment of how the ice sheets are changing….The study’s headline conclusion is that the polar ice sheets have overall contributed 11.1mm to sea level rise but with a “give or take” uncertainty of 3.8mm – meaning the contribution could be as little as 7.3mm or as much as 14.9mm
The combined rate of melting from all the ice sheets has increased over the past 20 years with Greenland losing five times as much now as in 1992.
I wonder about that 3.8mm error number, I mean Hurricane Sandy made the tide rise between 8-11 feet HIGHER than normal. That’s a massive low pressure system and a massive surge, but think of how little it would take to account for 4mm of ocean difference. When the Earthquake hit Costa Rica there were a ton of landslides and cliff faces that fell into the ocean. Hell it makes me wonder how stable the Moon’s orbit is, when it comes to planetoids 4mm is a rounding error.
I know a bunch of people who are dieting who weigh themselves every day and will get excited or depressed over a half-pound change in the numbers. But the human body fluctuates so much with food and water weights that even a pound or two can fluctuate in a day. I personally only call victory or defeat in increments of 5lbs. If I gain or lose 5lbs from a previous weight that’s from my total body mass, not my blood volume or gut-contents.
Still in the end, even if they’re right the best they can claim is 14.9mm in sea level change in 20 years time. Here’s a fun exercise. Pretend an Alien Stealth Craft sneaks into the Pacific ocean and dumps its cargo undetected into the sea. Whatever this may be, its enough to raise the sea level TWENTY millimeters! TWO WHOLE CENTIMETERS! ALMOST AN INCH!!!
How long do you think it will take people to figure out that it happened?
You Glock afficiandos need to get with the times. Upgrade your gatt to something modern that wasn’t designed in the age of bell bottoms and leaded gasoline. It’s an Old Fogey platform.
LOL! Of course Technology doesn’t all age the same way, it took maybe 20 years for the CD to meet its maker, while the DVD really only 10, and Radio its closer to 100….and the 1911 is still going strong!
Colorado Mesa University is using its high altitude and arid setting to create what will soon be the country’s newest body farm.
Coroners can walk into a crime scene and take a few measurements and observations and tell police how long the person has been dead. How do you think they figured that out? I do the same thing at work, I’ll come up to an animal cage and find one of my critters dead, and its sometimes very important to know WHEN they died.
Only real way to do it is leave some bodies around and see how they decompose.
The body farm is even more eleborate going over every scenario people can think of from different burial methods and environments conditions to freezing the body first. It all helps put monsters in jail!
Remember in the world of “Gun Death” you don’t have guns for attack…or defense:
A longtime Baptist pastor was fatally beaten inside his Forest Hill church Monday morning, and the suspect later died in the back of a patrol car, according to police and MedStar….Police Chief Dan Dennis said they believe the attack on the pastor began in the parking lot of the church, and then moved inside the church, eventually ending in the music room. When officers arrived, they found the man beating Kirk with an electric guitar, Dennis said.
The Pastor was defenseless, so all it took was a guitar to end his life. Do you really think being “Gun Free” is best?
