Gun Control Would Prevent This
Jan 2, 2008 General
Here is a story from the Sun UK. I copied the entire piece because there is no link to it. It tells of several shooting and a couple of deaths because of gun violence. If only there were gun laws to prevent this sort of thing…
A MAN was killed and another critically injured in a suspected gangland shooting on New Year’s Eve.
The murder victim, 26, was sitting in a parked car with three men when the killer strode up and fired a hail of bullets at them.
A third man cheated death when a bullet grazed his head and a fourth emerged unscathed.
The terrified pals drove to hospital following the 5.30pm carnage in Crumpsall, Manchester. The 26-year-old died shortly afterwards. His 27-year-old pal was seriously ill in hospital last night with wounds to his back.
The gunman, who fled the quiet suburban road on foot, was still at large last night. Another man aged 42 was blasted in the back in an unrelated shooting at 6.30pm on New Year’s Eve in Trafford, Manchester. Four men were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
A 23-year-old reveller also survived being stabbed in the throat in the city’s Rusholme area.
And in Anfield, Liverpool, a man aged 28 was shot in the stomach.
Oh wait, the UK has very strict gun laws. My friends over there told me how they had to turn their guns in (they were reimbursed) so that gun crimes would drop. Looks like the people who break the law did not get the memo or they ignored the law. Imagine that!
Gun control laws do not stop gun crimes because people who would obey the law are not the ones who would use guns to commit crimes in the first place. Too bad people are not bright enough to see this. Politicians know it is true but they also know that an armed citizenry is a free one and they want to be able to impose their will on us so they are trying to get rid of the guns. This is particularly true of Democrats who want to have us work to provide money for them so they can administer every aspect of our lives.
The UK, gun free and even more dangerous.

Be On the Look Out
Jan 1, 2008 General
A police officer was hit and killed last night in Baltimore by a hit and run driver. Here is the article from WBAL:
A Maryland Transportation Authority Police Officer is dead and police are looking for a hit and run driver and vehicle.
The officer was struck and killed along I-95 in the area of I-395.
Police are said to be looking for the alleged hit and run vehicle described as a a green Ford Explorer possibly driven by a woman…with a temporary Delaware tag.
The tag number is XB719820.
The officer has been identified as Courtney Brooks. He leaves behind 3 children and a fiance.
He was killed as he was placing flares for traffic control into the city.
Anyone with information is asked to contact 9-1-1 or MdTA police.
If you are in the Maryland/Delaware area keep your eyes open for a Green Ford Explorer with License XB719820.
Let’s catch this person.

Discrimination in Baltimore
Dec 29, 2007 General
The City of Baltimore is a septic tank and the people there are only to happy to live down to that assessment. There is violence all the time and success is considered achieved if they have fewer than 300 murders each year. The school system is a shamble and the man who was city Mayor is now the state governor so it will only get worse on a much larger scale.
One thing that is absolutely horrible in the city is public transportation. The buses are not safe and the animals from the schools ride them in the morning and afternoon (those who actually go to school) and they cause problems. The bus drivers are oblivious to what is happening and they have orders not to call the city police if a problem occurs but to call the transit cops instead.
Recently, a white lady was harassed by a bunch of middle school kids who happen to be black. They would not let her sit in any of the seats. When she finally sat down and refused to move when told “this seat is taken” she was assaulted. The kids beat the hell out of her and fractured the facial bones around her eye. They threw her out of the bus. If she had been black and the kids white the words hate crime would be plastered all over and that cretin Marvin Cheatham of the NAACP would be demanding that the assault be treated like the hate crime that it is. He has chimed in so much with the hate crime mantra that I know what this coward would say. However, since the attackers are black this will not be treated as a hate crime.
The investigators have determined that since this was a dispute over seats there would be no hate crime charges. Where are Jesse and Al demanding that hate crimes be charged? After all, wasn’t the dispute in Jena Louisiana over seats? The white kids did not want the black kids sitting under a tree (at least this is what we were told). So the dispute in each case is about a seat. In LA, the race baiters show up and demand that the black kids be released and charge that the white kids committed hate crimes by hanging a noose blah, blah. In Baltimore the lawyers for the black kids say their clients were provoked by the woman who might have spit at them. When does that (and it is alleged) give school kids the right to beat a woman senseless?
It is a double standard in Baltimore and these kids will be displayed as model students and great kids when I bet most of them have a record a mile long, hardly attend school, and probably can’t spell BUS. The lawyers have already indicated that their clients were not involved and asked how anyone could be sure since they were wearing the same kind of school uniform (so they all look alike??).
It is just criminal that this is dismissed as a fight over a seat and this is just the tip of the iceberg. There have been about five attacks on buses in the past month and some of them have been black on white with plenty of “you white this and that” included in the fracas. There is talk that people who have to take the bus are going to ensure they have protection with them. I have not ridden a city bus in decades but if I had to and some school kids attacked me their next bed would have a lid on it.
Ironically, I would probably be charged with a hate crime. They would be right though because I hate idiots.

Patriots Become First to Go 16-0
Dec 29, 2007 General
New England became the first team to go undefeated since the league expanded to 16 games. Tonight they defeated the Giants 38-35. The Patriots have been pretty good though they received some help from the officials along the way. The league probably wanted to make them look good after they were caught cheating early in the season.
But, you can’t take away from the fact that they had to still play the games.
