How depraved do you have to be to be cruel to a dog?

2012-03-02T06:01:00.002-05:00

Cleveland County animal control had to deal with a gruesome crime recently,

Animal control officers say a man tried to suffocate his dog by burying it alive.

…

Tripp Bowling, animal control shelter supervisor, said that on Feb. 14 Davis put the brown German shepherd mix’s head in a shallow hole and covered it with dirt.

That sounds awful. But the suspect offered an excuse

“(Suspect) told us someone poisoned the dog,” Bowling said. “He tried to speed up the death to make sure the dog didn’t get any air.”

The story goes on to say that the dog was too dehydrated to test for poison, so I wonder why they didn’t just take his word for it?

Suspect

That, plus the physical evidence against him, I guess.

People who abuse children, women, and animals are scum. Nope, I take that back. They are slime, because scum rises to the top.

Meanwhile in Wendy Cukier Paradise: Strange Looking Military Grade Machine Gun edition

2012-03-02T06:00:00.002-05:00

Oh, Canada, what the heck is this thing?

It looks like someone slapped a really strange looking muzzle brake on the end of a pistol grip BAR. And you’ll never guess where they found it.

Abbotsford police raided a house Tuesday night and found a military-grade machine gun inside.

"If you are familiar with machine guns that were used by the military in the World War II or Korean War era, that's essentially what we're dealing with," said Const. Ian MacDonald. "Certainly with its full magazine it is operational and it could have done a lot of harm to a lot of people."

Well, certainly. If one were minded to machine gun the town, this would do the job rather nicely. Of course, it was the drug dealing that bothered the neighbors, so that’s what earned them a police visit.

Wait, isn’t Canada the country that just got rid of their “long gun registry?” I’ll bet that this machine gun wasn’t properly listed.

Those naughty criminals. They keep breaking the law. When will they learn to follow all of the laws and not just the ones they feel like following?

Chris proves that his cat is smarter than Joan Peterson

2012-03-01T15:17:00.002-05:00

It seems that even Chris from Arma Borealis’s cat is smart enough to recognize that inanimate objects pose no threat.

Our cat has figured out that if nobody is wielding The Spritz Bottle of Doom, then it cannot squirt him with water.

One wonders how sad it must be to lose an intelligence contest with a housecat.

I wonder how this happened

2012-03-01T06:01:00.000-05:00

Another guy shot dead in Charlotte. I wonder how that happened.

Police have identified the man who was fatally shot Sunday at an east Charlotte apartment complex.

On Wednesday, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police publicly identified the victim as (Dead Guy), 44. The shooter, who has apparently not been charged in the incident, has not been named by police.

Given the following

Police said the shooter, who knew Stewart, lives in the apartment where the shooting happened and called 911. Police have not described the circumstances leading up to the killing but said the shooter was cooperating with the investigation.

I am not prepared to label the guy who got killed as a “victim.” Then there’s this

Dead Guy

It’s amazing how often the dead guys in homicides turn out to have criminal records.

Meanwhile in Sarah Brady Paradise: Uzi and Pot edition

2012-03-01T06:00:00.000-05:00

In Formerly Great Britain, guns are as illegal as drugs, and about as widespread.

Eurel Wilson, 23, was arrested last April on suspicion of cultivating cannabis at a house in Waterloo Promenade, Radford.

…

While in custody he told police he was living at a house in Ellis Court, St Ann’s, owned by his father Tony.

When officers searched the address they found an Uzi machine pistol wrapped in a towel inside a rucksack and 30 cannabis plants growing in the loft.

Strange that it’s not just a pistol, or maybe a shotgun. But then again, if it’s illegal to have a pistol, you many as well get a machine gun. You’re already going to jail for the pot, you may as well have some serious firepower to protect it from rivals.

Of course, people like you and me don’t want to go to jail so they avoid guns entirely. This leaves them helpless in the face of criminals, but I don’t think the government cares.

Crazed concealed carrier kills woman for telling him to stop shooting?

2012-02-29T06:02:00.000-05:00

I’m sure that the usual suspects will be all up in arms about this incident of gun violence

A 23-year-old Greenville man pleaded guilty Tuesday to killing woman on Raleigh Avenue who was telling him to stop shooting his gun in the street.

So he’s out in the street, shooting his gun. A lady tells him to knock it off and he shoots and kills her. So is this proof that so-called “law abiding citizens” can’t be trusted with guns?

Suspect

Oops. Maybe that’s why the gun grabbers aren’t raising a stink. Yet another felon demonstrating his total lack of care for the lives and safety of others.

Robbing with a dangerous weapon

2012-02-29T06:01:00.000-05:00

Another robbery in Fayetteville,

Three Fayetteville men are accused of robbing a man on Grove Street on Sunday, city police said.

The victim was walking on the 400 block about 5 p.m. when three men approached him, police said.

One of the men put some type of weapon to the victim's back and took unidentified property, police said.

I don’t know about you, but if I was out with my buddies and said, “Hey, let’s stick this dude up,” they’d haul me off to the cops themselves. So what kind of people do this sort of thing?

Suspect 1

Suspect 3

The second suspect doesn’t seem to have a criminal conviction record. In any case, he was hanging out with two felons, he probably knew what he was getting in to.

I hate the IRA. I hate them the same way that I hate Al-Qaeda. If I had my way they would all be rounded up, gut shot, and allowed to bleed to death.

A masked man went into one of the shops on Central Drive in the Creggan estate at 20:30 GMT on Thursday and fired a single shot.

Ten minutes later, two masked men went into the other shop at Racecourse Road near Shantallow and fired a number of shots.

No-one was injured but staff and customers were shocked by the attacks.

A man who was in one of the shops when the shooting happened said: "People came in and said: 'IRA, everybody down on the floor.' So I got down on the floor under a table and the next thing was indiscriminate shooting."

One gets the impression that this was the sort of thing that US gangs do, a sort of initiation. Go do something terrible to prove your commitment.

Left unexamined is how a country that bans all handguns and most rifles and shotguns still has an armed terror group running about. Isn’t gun control supposed to stop that? Or is it just designed to prevent the honest citizens from shooting back?

Why is far Leftist "Progress Ohio" running a fake Chardon school shooting memorial website?

2012-02-28T17:56:00.000-05:00

Ladd Everitt and his band of far leftist anti-gunners have been spamming Twitter with exhortations to “leave a note of support” at what appears to be some sort of memorial website “RememberingChardon.com.” Prompted by a tweet from @spartywrx, I decided to Whois the website. Here’s what I found.

So the owner of Remembering Chardon is Progress Ohio. Like pretty much anything with the word “progress” in the name (except for Progress Energy) Progress Ohio is just another astroturfed far left organization. Read their website and see what amounts to a laundry list of Leftist causes.

So why is an extreme leftist (albeit one that tries to appear “responsible” rather than violent) website running a “Memorial” website for a school shooting? I think it’s just a way to collect emails to add to their mailing list. The Left as a group is anti-gun. The leader of CSGV, Josh Horwitz, wrote in his book that guns were a threat to Progressive politics.

While we try to believe that the various leftist groups out there are independent, the reality is that they are just one big group. A political hydra with many heads in many issues. The anti-gun lobby is just one face of a much larger group.

Feel free to use the number and the email address and ask Bret Thompson of Progress Ohio just what the heck he thinks he’s doing with his fake memorial website. If you want a real memorial, go here.

Murderer comes from criminal family?

2012-02-28T07:40:00.001-05:00

If there is one article of faith around this blog it could be summed up in the following phrase,

Leopards don’t change their spots

This works both ways. Obviously I believe that those who have proven that they are on the wrong side of the law are extremely unlikely to suddenly decide to walk the straight and narrow. The other side is that those who are law abiding as a matter of habit will not suddenly turn into monsters. That was the whole point of my “felons behaving badly” category. The anti-gunners are always pretending that people like you and me are going to “snap” and murder people with our “loaded, hidden firearms.”

So what are we to make of the school shooter* in Chardon yesterday? A young man from a good family, with a bright future and all the prospects in the world? Umm, maybe not.

It appears that (Suspect) had violence in his life from the beginning.

Geauga County court records show the father of the teen who authorities say shot five students at Chardon High School on Monday had been arrested many times for violent crimes against women in his life, including Lane's mother. More than once, police or courts warned him to stay away from the boy and his mother.

Even his mom got into the act

But between 1995 and 1997 the boy's father and mother, (Mother), were each charged with domestic violence against each other.

He even had a criminal past

The teen had one prior case in Geauga County Juvenile court two years ago. Officials declined to give out information on the case. But several at the court said the family's troubles were known to social workers in the county.

And he wasn’t actually a student at the school he shot up.

(Suspect) attended Lake Academy, an alternative school in Willoughby for students in Lake and Geauga counties. A woman who answered the phone there declined to comment Monday.

According to the interviews being conducted, the people he shot up were students waiting to take the bus to that “alternative” school. We should be clear that “alternative” does not mean “magnet.” Alternative is the more PC way of saying “Reform School.”

The thing that’s pissing me off about all the chatter on Twitter (I’ll rant about Twitter later) is that people keep popping off about “bullying.” Let me go on record now with my armchair diagnosis. The shooter is a psychopath. Not a crazed axe murderer blibbering about voices in his head movie-type psychopath, but a real, walking, talking, DSM diagnosable psychopath. I think he’s no different than the other famous psychopath school shooter who everyone pretended was a bullying victim. There is some speculation that he shot one guy after his ex-girlfriend started dating the new guy. This is the sort of behavior a psychopath would think made sense. We’ll have to wait and see, but keep in mind. Sometimes people are outcasts and loners because they are so damaged that no one in their right minds wants to be friends with them. Remember who the above linked psychopath's friend was, a depressive, revenge minded teen.

I think that in the end we will find that this murderer is another of those severely damaged people who grew up without a conscience. I think we’ll find that he sees others as objects to be used in any way he sees fit. I think that in his mind, killing people that refused to give him his way made sense. And worst of all, once everyone starts telling about him, the problem will look so obvious that we’ll all wonder why no one did anything before this point.

* I have a policy of not naming people like this. They generally want fame, and I plan on denying them their infamy. Let them die in obscurity.

Hitting and running

2012-02-28T06:01:00.000-05:00

No matter how stupid the crime, when you get to the bottom you usually find that the perpetrator had a track record. Case in point.

A Hope Mills man was arrested Saturday evening after leaving a string of hit-and-run crashes across Cumberland County, police said.

He got hauled in for something like six different hit and run accidents one right after another. It seems that he mistook Fayetteville for one big bumper car arena. Not that this should surprise you, but alcohol was involved.

So is this a case of the bottle turning a normally good man bad?

Suspect

Nope. He was a criminal already, from beating up women to selling drugs and running from the law. I suggest that his punishment be 10 minutes with each of the victims. Victims may elect to work together or separately, and may use any weapon up to and including axe handles. No sharp edges please. No sense letting him get off quickly.

2012-02-28T06:00:00.001-05:00

You’d think that a country that basically bans civilian ownership of firearms would have less gun crime.

A firearm was discharged as two men fled after trying to steal a woman's car at gunpoint, police said.

A man approached the woman as she parked on her drive and pointed the gun at her, demanding the keys.

Following a struggle, the woman's husband came out of their home in Durham Drive, West Bromwich, to help her as a second offender joined in.

The offenders then fled in a blue van, firing two shots as they left the scene at about 20:00 GMT on Wednesday.

Hmm. Good thing that the husband isn’t allowed to own a pistol. He might have shot the attackers and saved everyone a lot of trouble. Even if he’d legally owned a shotgun, he’d have had to open the safe, get the shotgun, open the locked container with the ammo, load the shotgun, and go outside. Then he’d have been arrested. In most places in America, we are within our rights to roll out of the house with an AR-15 and shoot people assaulting our wives. As long as you don’t hose down the neighborhood, the cops would be much happier finding the perps dead on the street than having to search for them.

If the choice is Cowboy justice and total civilian disarmament, I’ll take the (fictional) Wild Wild West anytime.

That wild eyed radical Mike Vanderboegh is making sense again

2012-02-27T08:20:00.000-05:00

I know, I know. He usually makes a great deal of sense, but the lefty whiners can’t acknowledge that. Here’s his latest.

A Restatement of First Principles. Part One: What is the purpose of the armed citizenry?

In practical terms, the armed citizenry is supposed to:

1. Provide security in life, liberty and property to each citizen in his home from depredation by common criminals;

2. Provide security in life, liberty and property to the community by assisting, when necessary, duly constituted authority in maintaining civil order; and

3. Provide security in life, liberty and property to the states and nation by being the credible countervailing power to would-be tyrannical government.

Super-Secret sneak peek at the rifle barrel you all want

2012-02-27T07:43:00.002-05:00

In addition to being your blog host, I moonlight as Deputy Assistant Shop Monkey at Templar Custom.

Here’s what I spent my Sunday working on.

This is the new prototype barrel from Templar. It’s an integrally suppressed AR barrel. The idea is that a barrel that is 16 inches overall, but has a suppressor built in would not require you to register your rifle as a Short Barreled Rifle.

The barrel will still be subject to a $200 tax stamp for the suppressor, but the rifle itself will be a normal AR-15. Couple this with Templar’s FastRail quick change barrel system and you can run a standard unsuppressed barrel normally, and in about 5-10 minutes, swap it out for this suppressed barrel.

The barrel will be 17” overall, including the outer tube. Overall length with the stock collapsed is 34”. This is about the shortest you’re going to get without springing for another $200 SBR tax stamp.

Bob is still assembling the gas block, but he hopes to test fire it soon. Video when we get it running.

Northlake Mall shooter captured

2012-02-27T06:01:00.000-05:00

Back on 6 February, someone decided to shoot a guy at Charlotte’s Northlake Mall. CMPD have finally caught up with their suspect.

A 25-year-old man who has been on the run since a shooting outside Northlake Mall more than two weeks ago has been arrested, police said.

Unsurprisingly he is not what you would call a law abiding citizen.

Suspect

He’s bad enough that even the newspapers outed him as a thug.

Records show (Suspect), who goes by the nicknames "Psycho" and "Sike," has been arrested about 20 times in Mecklenburg County, mostly on drug charges. His criminal convictions include drug possession and breaking and entering vehicles, according to the N.C. Department of Correction.

When you’re bad enough that the reporters got to the trouble to find your criminal record, you’ve really pissed them off.

My wife says that Northlake Mall is a ritzy sort of place. Maybe they are pissed that the violence marred a “nice” place. News flash: Criminals are not great respecters of boundaries, either moral, legal, or geographical.

2012-02-27T06:00:00.001-05:00

There are lots of slurs upon people of Scottish heritage alleging abuse of sheep, but the Welsh usually only abuse Englishmen. Here’s a crime that would outrage the Scots to no end and cause them to do the unthinkable, ally with the English!

Police are appealing for help to trace a revolver after two sheep were shot dead near Pontypridd in Rhondda Cynon Taf.

A man and a 12-year-old boy have been arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and criminal damage.

Don’t worry that you can’t pronounce the town names. I’m not sure that the Welsh can either.

The pistol pictured at the link is a silver revolver, with ivory colored grips and is claimed to be “similar” to the gun they are looking for. Not explained is how a “man” and a 12 year old boy would come into possession of a handgun on an island ruled by a government that bans all handguns.

Clearly the ban has some holes in it. If even two idiots out to shoot some sheep can get a banned weapon, I think we can say that gun control is a total failure.

More gun crime in Wilmington

2012-02-26T06:01:00.002-05:00

It looks like Friday was a busy day for gun toting thugs.

At 2:14 a.m. Friday, Wilmington police officers responded to the Sportsman’s Club at 1111 Castle St. based on a report of multiple shots being fired.

They saw (Suspect), 29, walking quickly away from the area, according to the news release. When confronted, he ran. During the chase, he pulled a handgun from his waist and threw it in some bushes after officers ordered him to drop it. After a struggle, he was arrested.

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty attached to my gun, and even if cops were going to arrest me I wouldn’t throw it into a bush.

Suspect

Oh, so that’s why he chucked it. He wasn’t supposed to own it, much less carry it.

The Sportsman’s Club has a bar, obviously, and Thursday night (til 2 am Friday) is Karaoke Night. This means that it’s totally illegal to have a gun there. No guns in places that serve alcohol. The gun grabbers will hail this as yet one more reason that you and I can’t carry in Applebee’s.

Meanwhile, officers learned that a male gunshot victim had been driven to New Hanover Regional Medical Center. He is receiving treatment, police said. Police are investigating whether the incidents are connected.

Yeah, one more law will fix this problem. Sure.

I’ve pointed out the extreme nature of the Jamaican gun control regime before. So how exactly are they having so many problems?

Jamaica has melted down about 2,000 illegal firearms as part of a programme to reduce gun trafficking and violent crime on the island.

The pistols and revolvers were thrown into a furnace in the capital Kingston, watched by police and officials from the government and the UN.

Jamaica has one of the highest rates of gun crime in the world.

Correspondents say criminal gangs are often as well armed as the security forces.

One of the highest, but not in the “civilized” world according to the bigoted anti gunners who regularly tell us that the US has the highest in the “Western Industrialized” world. Racism?

There’s more

Between 70-80% of fatal shootings have been linked to criminal gangs whose firepower equals that of the police, our correspondent adds.

I’m guessing that it never occurred to the authorities to freely distribute the guns, including the old military and police weapons, to the honest citizens of Jamaica. We wouldn’t want the hoi polloi to be able to defend themselves.

Scrape some cash together for a guy who needs it

2012-02-25T22:48:00.003-05:00

I posted about a guy in Des Moines who spent about 4 months in jail waiting for trial in a self defense shooting. They stuck him with such a huge bail amount that he couldn’t possibly pay it. He was evicted from his apartment and everything inside was put on the curb to be stolen. He got exactly the sort of treatment you’d expect in a state that doesn’t have a Castle Law.

Here’s your chance to give him a little something to get him back on his feet.

Step by step, normalcy is creeping back for Jay Rodney Lewis.

He spent Thursday night in a West Des Moines hotel thanks to Westminster Presbyterian Church. Pastor Scott Paczkoski said plans are for Lewis to move next week into an extended-stay motel and begin steps toward finding an apartment.

The church, which already has arranged a used laptop and “just a big care package” for Lewis, is now setting up a fund to assist Lewis. Donations should be sent to Westminster Presbyterian Church, 4114 Allison Ave., Des Moines, Iowa 50310. Include a note or write on a memo line that the donation is to be used for “Jay Rodney Lewis.”

Sitting on my countertop, between both of the Netflix envelopes, is an envelope with a check for Mr Lewis. All three will go out in the mail Monday morning. Please consider doing the same.

Westminster Presbyterian Church

Two school lockdown leads to arrest

2012-02-25T06:01:00.000-05:00

The gun grabbers are always whining that we need to “think of the children.” So is this the sort of thing that is bothering them about gun owners?

Wilmington police arrested a man Friday in connection to gunshots that rang out in the city earlier in the morning, prompting authorities to lock down two schools for nearly an hour.

So some gun owner was shooting up the place near a school?

Suspect

Once again we see that when laws get broken, the person at the center of it all has a history of breaking the law.

So tell me, which is the rational response to criminals breaking all the laws we already have? Should we make another law for them to break? Or should we just throw them in jail and leave them there?

Since guns are extremely tightly regulated in (Formerly Great) Britain, how did this happen?

A five-year-old girl was playing in a shop when she was shot and left paralysed, a jury has heard.

Thusha Kamaleswaran was one of two innocent people shot at the store in Stockwell, south London, in March 2011, the Old Bailey was told.

The jury heard how three men went to the shop on bikes looking for a rival gang member and one opened fire.

So gang members, looking for other gang members, shoot innocent kids. How’s that different than what we have here? I mean aside from the fact it’s totally illegal for the honest shopkeepers to shoot back in (Formerly Great) Britain, I mean.

This is the world that the gun grabbers want you to live in. No less terror, just less ability for you to defend yourself. They call this “civilized.”

NCGV, Lies, Half-Truths, and the Anti-Gunner Way

2012-02-24T08:32:00.001-05:00

You know, the gun grabbers are almost a bad parody of “The Chicago Way” in the Untouchables. We pull out facts, they lie harder. We point out problems with their argument; they change the subject and scream louder.

The latest hobby horse that North Carolinians against Gun ~~Violence~~ Ownership are trying to ride to relevance is the “Child Access Prevention” bandwagon. You see, it’s not that people do bad things, it’s that people don’t “properly secure” their firearms! Here’s their latest Tweet, the first in 8 days and only the 6^th this month

NCGV breaks their radio silence to try to dance in the blood of a child shot in a school in Washington (AC*) when an 8 year old brought a gun from home and negligently discharged it from inside his book bag.

Authorities say the boy brought a .45-caliber handgun he got from his mother's house to an elementary school in Bremerton on Wednesday, and the weapon discharged from inside his backpack just before classes let out, critically injuring Amina Kocer-Bowman.

They feel that the real problem here is that the mother didn’t properly secure the firearm. Here’s what they aren’t discussing in their Tweet

Kitsap County officials said both the child's mother and father have criminal records. Bremerton police Lt. Peter Fisher would not discuss whether authorities were investigating any adults in connection with Wednesday's shooting, and he wouldn't release further information about the investigation.

…

Authorities believe he got the weapon during a visitation with his mother over the weekend, according to charging documents released Thursday. The documents state that the boy told a classmate about five days ago that he was going to bring his "dad's gun" to school and run away. The gun discharged after the boy slammed his backpack down on a desk, the documents said.

…

Court documents show (Mother), who is listed as the boy's mother in a child support case, sued the boy's father for failing to pay child support. She also has been in and out of the court system, according to court documents. In 2005, she was arrested for possession of meth in Bremerton, but pleaded guilty to a drug paraphernalia charge. She also was convicted of marijuana delivery and forgery.

(Father) has been convicted multiple times for violating protection orders regarding (Mother).

Wow, that puts a really different spin on things, doesn’t it? We have a drugged up convict mother in possession of what the child says is the father’s gun. The mother wasn’t “irresponsible,” she was a criminal! The father has what appear to be domestic violence protective orders against him. Are both of them prohibited persons? Are either of them legally allowed to own a gun?

Here’s the problem. If you have people who are barred by law from possession of a firearm, pissing and moaning that they didn’t “properly secure” that firearm is focusing on ants when elephants are stomping you to death. They also ignore that the child seems to be saying that it’s ok to bring a gun to school to solve a personal issue. Looking at his parent’s criminal records, I wonder where he learned that? They think that “One More Law™” will fix an already wildly dysfunctional family.

This goes to show you that the gun grabbers don’t care how they have to lie, cheat, and steal in order to violate your Second Amendment rights. They will do and say anything, and avoid, cover up, or just flat ignore reality to get what they want.

You start to wonder, though, if they even bother to read the whole story before they comment. They are always handing us the rope we use to hang them.

Sampson County shooter caught

2012-02-24T06:01:00.000-05:00

I posted about the two Sampson County people who got shot, one fatally. Well the cops have caught their suspect.

A man wanted for attempted murder in Sampson County was found hiding in a closet at his sister's home in Parkton during the weekend, authorities said.

Surprise, he’s NOT a felon.

Suspect

But with all the other charges he’s been convicted of it looks like it’s only be accident that he’s never been convicted of a felony.

So let’s see, a criminal, shoots two other criminals, one of whom dies. And this is somehow the fault of the law abiding gun owners? Who wants to bet that the gun grabbers will tell us that this all can be fixed with yet more ineffective laws that only affect the law abiding?

Meanwhile in Dermot Ahern Paradise: BMW Machine Gunned edition

2012-02-24T06:00:00.006-05:00

What kind of gun control misses the obvious law banning machine guns? I mean, if you’ve gone and made it near to impossible to buy regular weapons, you’d think that machine guns would be really tough to get a hold of, right?

A BMW car was sprayed with machine gun fire during an incident in Tallaght last night.

It is believed a long-running drugs dispute is the reason for the gun attack.

A property connected to a major drug dealer was peppered with bullets fired from a machine pistol. A car was hit during the incident.

Of course, if it’s already a crime to own a gun, you might as well have a machine gun. It’s not like it’s any MORE illegal.

It also seems that Ireland follows the same “if you’re a criminal, you’re more likely to get shot at” rule that we do.

The intended target is a notorious 23-year-old hood who has convictions for drug dealing after being targeted when he was 19 years old by undercover officers from the garda national drugs unit.

He has a history of assaulting women and criminal rivals, as well as not showing up for court.

Sounds like a pleasant fellow. Hard to imagine that anyone would want him dead.
