Mayor Pete on Fox News demolishes them yet again. Shooting fish in a barrel.
One month ago, Mayor Pete appeared on Fox News and utterly demolished them when they tried to justify Trump attacking and smearing our fighting men and women in uniform. They had a D-list anchor who was out of his league trying to attack, and it did not go well. I haven’t seen that guy back…
because the Second Amendment covers shooting out your window, accelerating after road rage
More Florida men-a-tee, standing their ground even as it moves beneath them at 101 mph, hot brass flying around the cabin of the pickup truck. Shooter appears to have shot through a partially opened driver side window, and then there’s that jump-cut to the front-facing image of presumably the target vehicle; OTOH he might have filed a false police report….

Need Some Eyes For This Video Purporting To Show McAtee Shooting First.
x x YouTube Video LMPD is saying that this video shows that David McAtee fired first. There is no sound on the two videos. And to be honest, I am having a difficult time seeing where McAtee fired a shot. I am being sincere. I was wondering if the rest of you Kossacks could…

Video recording in the years post-Rodney King, is now simply ubiquitous,…

The right-wing radio host who wished for a 'nice school shooting' almost got his wish
In a plea to get the media to cover something else than the damning impeachment vote, a Denver conservative radio show host, Chuck Bonniwell, literally said on the air that he wished “a nice school shooting” would interrupt the coverage. Right up the road is Columbine High School, site of one of the deadliest school shootings. Families of…
weapon used in Saugus CA school shooting was an unregulated “ghost gun”
A troubling element of the murder-suicide in Saugus is that the firearm used was a “homemade” or rather home-assembled gun, put together with a parts kit. This subset of the firearms industry has little regulation for such “kit guns”. Unlike home manufacture using 3-d printers, the individual components are available from a variety of subcontracted sources and collected…
