Hey, they're lucky; at least these cops didn't kick in the doors

and shoot the dogs.


Should D.C.'s food laws try to protect consumers and public safety? Or should they try to protect brick-and-mortar restaurants from competition?

D.C.'s restaurant lobbyists, along with many local politicians and bureaucrats, seem to think the government's job is to save the delis and diners, bistros and brasseries from the scourge of falafel trucks, barbecue buses and weenie wagons.


Why don't we trust most media?  Because CBS referred to this as  hundreds of mischievous teens:
What actually happened was that a mob of black thugs took part in an apparently pre-planned attack on mostly white shoppers in a mostly white and wealthy neighborhood.
Related, from Second City Cop:
All the local media outlets had to cover it - there were too many witnesses downtown to brush it under the carpet the way they did the entire summer of 2011 and early part of 2012. The Channel 2 website had over 3,500 comments at last count. National headlines were made everywhere.
We particularly enjoyed the comment by the woman who said she pays $17,000 a year in property taxes. You're getting ripped off lady. And Rahm? This is the sort of person who can afford to leave the city when it gets this bad. We're sure there are thousands more. You're going to be remembered as Mayor Murder - and the victim will be the City of Chicago.


There was a vote in the Senate the other day:

All Democrats an Independants, for some reason...


Why don't we trust that Obama respects all the Amendments?
“If you think that checking someone’s criminal record before he can check out a gun show is common sense, you’ve got to make yourself heard.”
There's apparently some argument that he misspoke and actually mean 'buy a gun at'; considering his past actions and words, I think he meant exactly what he said.


And why don't we trust most of the federal LE clowns?

No illegal explosives were found and no arrests were made, but considering the unprecedented arsenal stocked at one of the locations, the agents considered confiscating Myers’ weapons. “The idea at one of the locations was to take firearms, but they did not do that,” an ATF spokesperson said, according to Onlineathens.com.

Did you catch that? Even though there was nothing remotely illegal going on, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Very Large Fires considered confiscating firearms anyway. Apparently only a senior agent had the brains to suggest they can’t steal property.
Or maybe the local Sheriff had to clue them in.


And we know we can't trust what we read about firearms in most media; they say things like a .323-caliber bolt-action rifle and A loaded 12-gauge shotgun was found in the glove compartment of the Honda Civic Lanza drove to the school with two magazines containing 70 rounds of Winchester 12-gauge shotgun rounds.
Hey, journalists; can you at least TRY to make an effort to find out what the hell you're writing about?
I know, silly question.


Another company leaving Colorado, and more gun-related business going somewhere else.
I wonder if those politicians trusting Bloomberg money and Obama influence to protect them are wondering if they shouldn't have listened to that clown Senator who told them 'don't read the e-mails or answer the phone calls, they're just telling you not to do this'?
