Cop Gets Six Months For Killing Mackala Ross and Delores Epps

“Former Memphis police officer Alex Beard was speeding to a call with no siren when he rammed into a car, killing 13-year-old Mackala Ross and her mother, Delores Epps, age 53. Mackala’s father, Michael Ross, was severely injured, but survived the crash. This week the former officer was offered a plea deal by prosecutors: six months in jail. Mr. Ross said the sentence was like a ‘slap in my face.’ The prosecutor said ‘this was the best that could be done.’ Hmm. The above photo is Mackala’s school locker where her classmates made a little memorial.” Continue reading →

Teen arrested for using app to “shoot” his classmates with a cellphone

“Police arrested a 15-year-old high-schooler Thursday in Louisiana for ‘terrorizing’ his classmates with a phone app that edits video to make them appear as though they are being gunned down. Terrebonne Parish sheriff’s Capt. Dawn Foret told the Lafourche Daily Comet that the H.L. Bourgeois High School student, used a phone app called ‘The Real Strike’ to superimpose video game style guns on video from an iPhone and similar devices. The app allows a user to virtually ‘shoot’ things in front of the camera. The boy is charged with terrorizing and interfering in the operation of a school.” Continue reading →

NYPD shoot at man with finger gun, hit elderly woman with walker, others

“Two bystanders were shot by New York police officers who were trying to subdue what NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly called ‘an emotionally disturbed man.’ ‘This individual was blocking traffic and appeared to be attempting to be hit by cars when a police officer on foot patrol attempted to take him into custody in the intersection,’ Com. Kelly said. At that time, according to a witness who spoke toThe Daily News, the unidentified man started ‘pretending that he had a gun’ and ‘aimed it at the cops.’ The cops fired three shots, none of which hit the suspect.

Legal loophole allows new belt-fed AR-15 that sprays bullets

“A new belt-fed AR-15 military-style assault rifle can fire rounds as fast as fully-automatic machine guns — and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) says that a legal loophole means that the gun is perfectly legal in the United States. CNN reported this week that Texas-based Slide Fire’s new SFS BFR semiautomatic rifle would be available this fall for $6,000. The weapon can potentially hold thousands of rounds of ammunition because it is fed by a belt instead of a traditional magazine. And according to Shooting Times, the company’s special stock uses the rifle’s recoil to trigger the next round, resulting in a possible fire rate of 800 rounds per minute.” Continue reading →

Betcha This Government Is Learning To Fear Its Serfs

“Following their tremendous victory in ousting two of Colorado’s dictators, the Basic Freedom Defense Fund (BFDF) and Pueblo Freedoms and Rights (PFR) have drawn a bead on more tyrants. They’re ‘polling all Colorado legislators to gauge their support for repealing the very gun laws at the heart of the recalls.’ The tone of the questionnaire these folks are sending politicians is especially heartening: polite but insistent, courteous but commanding. From between the lines leaps the warning, ‘Answer this, and do it before our deadline of Sept. 30, because if you don’t, we’ll eject you from your cushy position, too.’ So refreshing to see taxpayers dictating to the leeches rather than the other way around! ” Continue reading →

Betcha This Government Is Learning To Fear Its Serfs

Is It Time to Feel Sorry for the President and other Obamacare Supporters?

“It must not be fun having to explain to people that their private financial and medical information will now be in the hands of some of the least competent people in America. Or imagine what it must be like when some of your biggest allies start complaining about the law. Such as union bosses. Or government bureaucrats. And what about stories about cost overruns. And how about all the bad news about limited choice in the infamous Obamacare exchanges. Or rising insurance costs. Our privacy will be compromised, our choices will be limited, our costs will increase, and the government will squander more of our money. All for a law that even left-wing groups are learning to despise.” Continue reading →
