A bit of a bizarre one, but I don’t mind really.

William Goetzee, 48, was arrested Aug. 2 outside federal court after he tried to snatch a gun from a federal security officer. During the attempt to get the gun, he told the officer he wanted to kill himself.

If all guns were banned, then he wouldn’t be in this predicament in the first place!

Marc Ehrhardt, a spokesman for Gusman, said that when someone is placed on suicide watch at the jail, they are supposed to be under constant supervision. This means under supervision “24 hours a day,” he said.

The jail suspended a deputy who was charged with observing Goetzee, according to a news release. The deputy, whom the release did not name, left his post for an undisclosed period of time, the release said.

The jail’s preliminary investigation found Goetzee “surreptitiously swallowed toilet tissue” on Sunday. While an autopsy is still pending from the Orleans Parish coroner’s office, the jail concluded that Goetzee was able to asphyxiate himself with the tissue paper.

When those looking to restrict freedom quote “Gun Death” numbers they usually include suicides, and make claims that by removing guns from society, they’ll also remove suicide.

Well there’s a solution that will keep us all safe!

Raining at camp I’m hunkered down and reading Monster Hunter International. Decided to come up from air and check some internets out.

Found this from Mad Duck that is a pretty crazy “GunDeath”

Go read this tale of a UK mass-stabbing.

Guns? All but banned. Knives? As restricted as guns in the more free state.

Almost like its the people, not the tools.

I had to steal my title from the title of this article. I was told many times as a kid to “knock off the Horseplay”, but I never played like these jerks.

Amaon said deputies were called to Faison’s mobile home outside Micro about 10:30 p.m. Saturday and found Billy James “B.J.” Mitchell dead on the floor. Faison and others at the home told deputies that the two men had been drinking and were involved in horseplay, Amaon said. Mitchell lived around the corner from Faison on Ball Park Road.

At one point, Faison flipped Mitchell over, pinned him down and choked him, Amaon said. Mitchell never regained consciousness.

Of course no guns were used, so no “Gun Death”. Still both men were twisted on Alcohol and drugs which probably clouded Faison’s judgement, and possibly hindered Mitchell’s ability to recover. If we ban guns, we can end “Gun Death”, then if we ban alcohol like we do drugs, we won’t have drunken wrestling sessions anymore, right?

He was charged Saturday with drug possession after investigators found crack cocaine in his pocket, Johnston County sheriff’s spokeswoman Tammy Amaon said.

Last I checked, Cocaine was banned…but guns are different, because guns are different!

Pretty Wanton Right here.

On a recent Sunday morning just before dawn, two carloads of white teenagers drove to Jackson, Mississippi, on what the county district attorney says was a mission of hate: to find and hurt a black person…James Craig Anderson, a 49-year-old auto plant worker, was standing in a parking lot, near his car. The teens allegedly beat Anderson repeatedly, yelled racial epithets, including “White Power!” according to witnesses.

Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith says a group of the teens then climbed into their large Ford F250 green pickup truck, floored the gas, and drove the truck right over Anderson, killing him instantly.

There’s surveillance video of the beating and murder at the link.

It upsets me when I see black groups oppose gun control and gun ownership, as a gun might have been the ONLY thing that could have saved Mr. Anderson, being outnumbered by a large group of youths interested in doing him grave harm simply because of the color of his skin. Of course groups like the Black Panthers do the exact same sort of crimes, just black-on-white. Most street gangs are racist in their membership, and who they target for their crimes. Then there’s countless other races, nation of origin, religion, sexual orientation, social status, and political views that can also be targeted for violent crime.

These London Rioters are pointing out they are pillaging and burning buildings to target the “Rich” and “Conservatives”.

There are lots of reasons that the most crude and crass among us might use to justify causing harm to another. Carry your guns. Such rudeness loses its luster if the thugs realize they can and will be killed by their victims in fear for their lives.

In a “Perfect World” these are the crimes those who use the metric of “Gun Death” dream of.

A 17-year-old Bel Air, MD, boy has been charged with murder in connection with the Friday night stabbing death of a blind man…Worrell said in a press release that Graham was trying to burglarize Ward’s apartment. Ward startled Graham, who then allegedly stabbed him multiple times and fled the area.

A disabled man is murdered by a juvenile criminal. In the philosophy of Collin Goddard the best solution is for us all to pluck our eyes out. If the whole world was blind there wouldn’t be any “Gun Death”, as making a sight picture would be impossible.

Of course would the criminal element agree to pluck out their own eyes for our safety?

Yeah.
