Chief Cathy L. Lanier of DCPD doesn't believe in equal justice:
journalists and other important people deserve nicer treatment than us peasants.
Quotes of the day
and some associated thoughts.
First, from this guy,
In a sane nation, "Contempt of Congress" would not be a crime. It would be a Pulitzer Prize category.
I've had a dream: being called to testify in front of Congress, being threatened with 'Congress, contempt of', and informing the arrogant little bag of tainted excrement "That's not even in question, how could I NOT be in contempt of a corrupt bastard like you?"
Second, found at Kevin's, which also reminded me I hadn't looked at Rachel's place in a few days:
Thank God our heroic president spent more than three million dollars of our money to heroically help our heroic Congress heroically do exactly shit-all.
Connected: the farging assholes just voted- with a few "I can't do it" standouts- to put that miserable bastard Boehner back in as Speaker of the House. Which brings us back to 'contempt of Congress'.
From over here:
Protip: If you’re a police officer, and you’re told a person with a gun is inside a residence, and no hot pursuit is involved, you need to get a search warrant before, you know, searching! Damn that pesky Constitution!
Which is one of the things that would go away if farging idiots like Kaul and this despicable asshole Seidman had their way of getting rid of that troublesome Constitution.
*Originally it was Swimmer Kennedy; now the list of possibles starts with Schumer and goes on from there.

It appears attempted murder is a funny story
when the right sex does it.
From the linked story at Huffpo: Dobol initially got away, but her dreams of escape went up in smoke when she was arrested last week on an outstanding warrant and was subsequently charged with arson and burglary.
If a man had done this, there'd be domestic violence charges, and attempted murder, and anything else they could tack on.

Your vote: is the Secret Service actually this level of asshole,
or did they get orders from above?
David Codrea has revealed that President Obama has so little regard for the United States Marines risking their lives under his command life that they were forced to dismantle their already empty parade rifles for his second inauguration parade. This is nothing less than a slap in the face of the Corps:
Well, we already knew he holds the military in contempt, much like Bill Clinton. Except when he needs them for window-dressing; THEN he's all smiles.
You may have heard about the latest FBI-assisted almost-bombing. Two things:
He planned to carry out the false flag attack and make it appear as if “the responsible party was an umbrella organization for a loose collection of anti-government militias and their sympathizers.”(and the major media would've done all they could to help)
“Llaneza’s stated goal was to trigger a governmental crackdown, which he expected would trigger a right-wing counter-response against the government followed by, he hoped, civil war,” the FBI release states.
Second, my recurring nightmare: one of these clowns is going to play the FBI and put a real bomb in the middle of a building, or crowd.
Among the comments at Tam's on a really pretty thing: "If you open the breech and put your ear to it you can hear the Sioux screaming as they ride up the hill."
If I open the breach of my Trapdoor carbine and put my ear to it, I can hear cavalrymen saying "Oh shit".
Followed by
Odd.....
Whenever I put an ear to any of my guns all I hear are squeaky little voices saying "feed me."
More theft under color of law.
The latest on excuse-making for shooting two innocent people:
As the vehicle approached the house, officers opened fire, unloading a barrage of bullets into the back of the truck. When the shooting stopped, they quickly realized their mistake. The truck was not a Nissan Titan, but a Toyota Tacoma. The color wasn’t gray, but aqua blue. And it wasn’t Dorner inside the truck, but a woman and her mother delivering copies of the Los Angeles Times. …
Glen T. Jonas, the attorney representing the women, said the police officers gave “no commands, no instructions and no opportunity to surrender” before opening fire.
…[LAPD Chief Charlie ] Beck said it was not difficult to imagine how officers who were already on edge could make the mistake these officers did.
I will now devolve to bad language:
What the FUCK do you mean 'not difficult to imagine'? Are you a lawman or just a fucking politician making excuses? Do you expect us to ignore that part about The truck was not a Nissan Titan, but a Toyota Tacoma. The color wasn’t gray, but aqua blue. And it wasn’t Dorner inside the truck, but a woman and her mother delivering copies of the Los Angeles Times. … ?
Why the hell aren't you telling us these officers are being prepared for firing? And facing charges? It's the grace of Deity that those two women weren't crippled or killed, and YOU MAKE EXCUSES?
Lest you think I'm being a bit hard on this, here's what these idiots with badges did:
So: they shot up the WRONG KIND OF VEHICLE and two people NOT RESEMBLING THE SUSPECT, apparently spraying bullets all over the fucking place... And, let it be noted, they can't even claim any base level of marksmanship. Yeah, it's a good thing in this case these bastards can't shoot, because otherwise the women would be dead. Of course, if they could EFFING SHOOT, they just might have had the self-control to NOT SHOOT UP TWO INNOCENT PEOPLE.
Beck, you suck.
Why do we not trust background check demands?
...There ARE ways to conduct background checks WITHOUT the record-keeping. We showed them that in Olympia twice in the past decade. They rejected it, and admitted that what they wanted was the “audit trail” — the paperwork.
Plus some history on how DoJ, EffingBI and others have already misused NICS records. And- surprisingly!- nobody went to jail for the breakage of law. Or any other punishment.

David Kaul apparently doesn't like people telling him what they think
of his 'satire'.
Aw, the poor little gun bigot doesn't like it when people react to being called terrorists, and Kaul's wish to torture people to death for not agreeing with him.
Yeah, about those low crime rates in Japan:
Police discourage autopsies that might reveal a higher homicide rate in their jurisdiction, and pressure doctors to attribute unnatural deaths to health reasons, usually heart failure, the group alleges. Odds are, it says, that people are getting away with murder in Japan, a country that officially claims one of the lowest per capita homicide rates in the world.
"You can commit a perfect murder in Japan because the body is not likely to be examined," says Hiromasa Saikawa, a former member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police security and intelligence division. He says senior police officers are "obsessed with statistics because that's how you get promotions," and strive to reduce the number of criminal cases as much as possible to keep their almost perfect solution rate.
Knew a guy some years back who'd spent a lot of time in Japan; he said that a lot of crime doesn't get 'officially' reported because it was gang-on-gang, and as long as it didn't spill over into the honest-citizen population, the authorities didn't care and didn't want to know about it. Looks like that attitude has spread to a lot more than gang crime.
Seems Obama wants to make sure people with guns are protecting HIS precious ass until the day he dies. And his wife & kids, as well.

Yet another portrait in political integrity from Ray Nagin
Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was indicted Friday on charges that
he used his office for personal gain, accepting payoffs, free trips, and
gratuities from contractors while the city was struggling to recover
from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
Too bad they can't indict him for violation of oath of office, and theft of private property. Or under the circumstances, would it be armed robbery?
In case you had any doubts what the clowns in New Effng York actually wanted,
The full list of proposals can be read below:
1. Confiscation of "assault weapons"
2. Confiscation o ten round clips
3. Statewide database for ALL Guns
4. Continue to allow pistol permit holder's information to be replaced to the public
5. Label semiautomatic shotguns with more than 5 rounds or pistol grips as "assault weapons”
6. Limit the number of rounds in a magazine to 5 and confiscation and forfeiture of banned magazines
7. Limit possession to no more than two (2) magazines
8. Limit purchase of guns to one gun per person per month
9. Require re-licensing of all pistol permit owners
10. Require renewal of all pistol permits every five years
11. State issued pistol permits
12. Micro-stamping of all guns in New York State
13. Require licensing of all gun ammo dealers
14. Mandatory locking of guns at home
15. Fee for licensing, registering weapons
Gee, a socialist preacher who loves Obama thinks the right to arms, the NRA and armed self-defense are offenses to God; big surprise, right?
Oh, reverend? The reason those wounded, crippled and murdered black & brown kids in Chicago don't get as much attention as the kids in Newtown is because your suckass media and politicians don't really want to talk about them: if they do, it'll bring up that the gun laws in Chicago are what you want them to be nationwide, and they don't work.
On the wishful thinking of socialists that 'the tea party is going away':
Because NOTHING says irrelevance like getting elected.

I suppose women like Tam don't count; or maybe
it's like Palin and they're 'not really women' if they can actually use a AR15...
Good to know.
Or it could simply be that these people are full of shit and ignorance.
I know which way I'd bet.
Also, note the they would murder or would kill their attacker crap.
I wonder what thoughts are running through Howler Cuomo's mind right about now?
So, is Glock trying to bribe the crocodile? Or just being idiots?
Oh, this is wonderful! Comment at a Bob Owens post:
We Canadians messed with the registration scheme to no end, we registered fictitious items, including soldering irons, glue gun, water pistols, one enterprising fellow even registered his Jack Russell Terrier. Another thing we did, was bomb the system with hundreds of thousands phoning, e-mailing etc at the same time. The on-line system was hacked over 350 times with public access points of entry. In the end, less than 30% of the Canadian long guns ever made it into the database.. However the dog did..
Put the commanders up in front of a committee, under oath, and ask "Why are you violating federal law?"
Gee, peace officers who actually believe in that oath they took; this has to be annoying hell out of all the right people.
Hey, when you want to be reelected, who cares if you use resources to buy support? Right?
Sondra lost Rumsfeld, after a nasty illness; man, that sucks.
PIERS MORGAN: I have an interview coming up with two young women who wrote a piece in which they said they wanted the rights of the AR-15 weapon at home because they feared they would be attacked and they wanted a gun that would guarantee they would murder or would kill their attacker. How do you respond to that particular argument, which is they believe under their second amendment right they should be allowed an AR-15? CAROLYN MCCARTHY: I will tell you, if you talk to professionals, hunters and certainly sportsmen, they’ll tell you that’s not the gun to use. A rifle is more accurate. It’s certainly easier for a woman to be able to do that.You just can't make this stuff up, folks. I mean, we all know an AR-15 isn't an "assault rifle" within the real meaning of the term. Now super-genius Carolyn McCarthy does us one better and says it's not even a rifle?
Good to know.

Remember, when Feinstein and Brock and Schumer and other
gun bigots announce 'Concealed carry/standard magazines/etc are bad!', you always have to append "-unless WE'RE doing it!"
My, that would be a party,
wouldn't it?
This is a standing invitation to my fellow Americans: If congress ever enacts a law mandating the registration and/or a production ban of detachable magazine semiautomatic rifles then you are hereby invited to the town square of your local community. There, burn barrels will be set up and we will publicly burn Form 4473s, FFL Bound Books, state and local registration records, and the sales receipts for every firearm in the United States. On that same day, FFL holders and public officials holding electronic firearms records will simultaneously erase those records, permanently and irretrievably. (Using special file erasure software such as Blancco, X-Ways, and Stellar Wipe, or though the physical destruction of disk drives.)
The rest is here.

Attention guys: this is NOT the way to look professional
Or competent.
Two women who were shot by Los Angeles police in Torrance early Thursday during a massive manhunt for an ex-LAPD officer were delivering newspapers, sources said.
...
A second shooting, involving Torrance police officers, occurred about 5:45 a.m. at Flagler Lane and Beryl Street in Torrance. No injuries were reported in that incident.
Chase said that in both instances police came across vehicles they thought were similar to the one Dorner is believed to be driving. Neither vehicle was Dorner's.
"Now it appears neither of them are directly related," Chase said. "In both of them, officers believed they were at the time."
Well, they were wrong. Bigtime.
And yeah, An armed civilian who made this mistake would be tried for every possible crime a prosecutor could imagine. How likely do you think that is here?
And, just to make this even more bloody fun, the piece of walking crap has fans. Lots of them. Guess which politics they seem to be from?
I've discovered that, due to running in circles, there's a number of posts I started and forgot to post; so there'll be a string of stuff put up this morning.

Some big problems with the coppers across the pond, too
It appears that if they still teach John Peel's Principles, they don't believe in them.
Does arrogant and stupid run in the Biden family?
or are they all wannabe tyrants?
This time it is Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, son of Vice President Joe Biden, sending out mandates to commissioners informing them that their sheriffs no longer have arrest powers. In an opinion released Feb. 24, State Solicitor L.W. Lewis said that neither the state nor the common law grants arrest powers to the county sheriffs.
Every answer I can think of to 'Why?' involves grabbing power and- with the current situation- trying to keep sheriffs in Delaware from following the line of a lot of others: "Try to enforce unconstitutional laws and we'll arrest you."
(yeah, this is from a short time ago, somehow I forgot to post it.

Couple of days ago noticed a rather unpleasant sound
coming from the crank region(shut up; you know who you are) of the BICYCLE. And starting feeling a 'tic' when put a lot of pressure on the pedals. Not good. This was a bicycle I'd been given a while back, so hadn't really done anything to it other than move the handlebars and such from the other to it(this being the New Model OKCPV), so maintenance was called for.
Yeah, I should've checked this before I used it.
Pulling one pedal required use of a punch to drive it off the shaft, then loosen the outer nut, then the inner so could move the crank to get to the bearings, and lo!, the damn things are dry. Not 'a trace left' but DRY of any lubricant. Happily I have a tube of grease in the garage, and popsicle sticks, so got both thoroughly greased and buttoned it back up; MUCH quieter and smoother.
Oddly, the wheel bearings were greased; why them and not the crank, I don't know.
Yeah, rides a lot more smoothly now. I should have remembered that when I checked on the previous ride, its crank AND wheel bearings showed no trace of grease(and it was new), and checked this one before rode it.

And while we're being told WE can't be trusted with arms,
“We’re the federal government,” Mountain Pure’s comptroller, Jerry Miller, says one pistol-packing fed told him. “We can do what we want, when we want, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
and
However — as my old friend and fellow columnist Quin Hillyer notes — armed officers, if not Special Weapons and Tactics crews, populate these federal agencies: the National Park Service; the Postal Inspection Service; the Departments of Health and Human Services, Agriculture, Labor, and Veterans Affairs; the Bureaus of Land Management and Indian Affairs; the Environmental Protection Agency; and the Fish and Wildlife Service. Even Small Business Administration and Railroad Retirement Board staffers pack heat!
These “ninja bureaucrats,” as Hillyer calls them, run rampant. They, and often their local-government counterparts, deploy weapons against harmless, frequently innocent, Americans who typically are accused of non-violent civil or administrative violations.
AND the misuse of SWAT teams, AND the "We're Easy Company assaulting the enemy!" mindset of too many badge-carriers nowadays. And so on.

Well, they're willing to cover for Obama and Biden on everything else...
“To be very blunt with you, we’re counting on all of you, the legitimate news media to cover these discussions because the truth is that times
have changed,” Biden added, warning that people would continue to
“misrepresent” the White House's plans for gun control.
Kind of hard to misrepresent "This and this and that should all be banned", clown.
And you'll notice the 'only the media that says what we want is legitimate' crap.

Some interesting information and analysis
on the bad guy in the Californicated mess.
Assuming he's actually in the hills trying not to dehydrate and freeze, this probably won't last long. I doubt he has any real hunting/survival in the cold skills, and without those and the gear, you're going to run down fast.
Yes, it's possible he stashed/stole a vehicle and is somewhere else, or had some cold-weather gear and food with him; if so, it's the only real pre-planning he did, from what I can tell.

Oh, Tingles, you let the cat out of that bag!
Anyhow, near the end of the show came this gasper...
Hand-to-God, he really did. To riff off that would be to gild the lily.
Yes, it would.
Yes, I did read where this crap started under Bush; but I thought The Lightbringer Obama was supposed to save us from the Evil Bush policies?
And since when can some fed agency decide one of the basic enumerated rights doesn't apply somewhere in this country?
More on idiots supporting the clown making LAPD look like incompetents.
Article about Obama screwing his young supporters(as if that's new); one interesting bit:
...while the elderly (saved by Sarah "Death Panels" Palin from any serious attempt to ration expensive and often futile end-of-life care) consume far more than they pay in.
A: They couldn't be 'saved' from something that didn't/doesn't exist, and
B: They're admitting "We don't want to pay to keep old people alive, rationing is needed so they don't cost too much!"
More on what all Obama and Clinton were doing in Libya and other areas; seems like they were lying about a BUNCH of things(like that's new).
Yes, it IS too much to hope for; Obama would have to have a sense of shame to be ashamed.
More on how Obama's drone policy attacks due process.
Larue Tactical has followed Ronnie Barrett's lead; be nice if more companies did.
Oh, I like it!
Think about it--would anyone be talking about more gun control right now if the officials directly responsible for the "gun free zone" at Sandy Hook Elementary could be sued for damages due to the fact that they forced teachers to remain disarmed then failed to protect those innocent lives?
Guest: "Americans overwhelmingly support drone strikes..."
Chris Matthews: "...and Liberals do, too!"
Hand-to-God, he really did. To riff off that would be to gild the lily.
Yes, it would.
Yes, I did read where this crap started under Bush; but I thought The Lightbringer Obama was supposed to save us from the Evil Bush policies?
And since when can some fed agency decide one of the basic enumerated rights doesn't apply somewhere in this country?
More on idiots supporting the clown making LAPD look like incompetents.
Article about Obama screwing his young supporters(as if that's new); one interesting bit:
...while the elderly (saved by Sarah "Death Panels" Palin from any serious attempt to ration expensive and often futile end-of-life care) consume far more than they pay in.
A: They couldn't be 'saved' from something that didn't/doesn't exist, and
B: They're admitting "We don't want to pay to keep old people alive, rationing is needed so they don't cost too much!"
More on what all Obama and Clinton were doing in Libya and other areas; seems like they were lying about a BUNCH of things(like that's new).
Yes, it IS too much to hope for; Obama would have to have a sense of shame to be ashamed.
More on how Obama's drone policy attacks due process.
Larue Tactical has followed Ronnie Barrett's lead; be nice if more companies did.
Oh, I like it!
Think about it--would anyone be talking about more gun control right now if the officials directly responsible for the "gun free zone" at Sandy Hook Elementary could be sued for damages due to the fact that they forced teachers to remain disarmed then failed to protect those innocent lives?

The things that come to mind when you're tired (updated)
Such as a (slightly modified)line from a book to the LAPD:
They shoot as the wild sheep defecate; wildly, and at random
I think I'll spread that 'round to some people before I pass out.

This crap is officially over the line from 'overzealous' to 'incompetent,
trigger-happy and stupid'.
David Perdue was on his way to sneak in some surfing before work Thursday morning when police flagged him down. They asked who he was and where he was headed, then sent him on his way.
Seconds later, Perdue's attorney said, a Torrance police cruiser slammed into his pickup and officers opened fire; none of the bullets struck Perdue.
His pickup, police later explained, matched the description of the one belonging to Christopher Jordan Dorner — the ex-cop who has evaded authorities after allegedly killing three and wounding two more. But the pickups were different makes and colors. And Perdue looks nothing like Dorner: He's several inches shorter and about a hundred pounds lighter. And Perdue is white; Dorner is black.
And the official excuse is just wonderful:
"The circumstances of the incident known to the responding officers would have led a reasonable officer under normal circumstances — and these were far from normal circumstances — to believe that fellow officers were being shot at and that the vehicle traveling toward them posed a serious risk.
"In the split seconds available to them," the statement continued, "action was appropriate to intervene and stop the actions of the driver of that vehicle."
You know, the vehicle of the WRONG make and WRONG color driven by a male of the WRONG color who'd JUST BEEN TALKED TO BY OTHER COPS...
It's actually kind of amazing, isn't it? Three people alive solely by either the grace of Deity or the lousy shooting of LAPD(or both), NONE of them or their vehicles matching the description and it's still "Any reasonable officer would have done the same."
Do they not realize just how much that kind of crap damages their reputation and image? Or are they so tied into "Deny wrongdoing no matter what" that they don't care?
As Insty says, if a private citizen did this kind of crap these same people would be working to hang them.
