Eight bullets, in the back, for a busted taillight

Posted on April 8, 2015 | 1 comment

Once more, we have a trigger-happy cop and a dead black man whose “resisting arrest” was running away. This time there’ll be no long, drawn-out palaver or grand jury to be manipulated.

Thanks to a bystander’s iPhone video of the incident, the cop has been charged, straight-up, with the murder of Walter Scott.

Miriam Carey could not be reached for comment.

UPDATE:  The brave man who video recorded the police murder of Walter Scott.

Never irritate those who handle your food

“It’s not about freedom of religion, it’s about freedom of association or just plain freedom, if you will. It is slavery to take property against one’s will or to demand labor against one’s will; and it doesn’t matter whether that will arises from a deeply held religious faith, personal standards, or mere contrariness.”

Abetting terrorism

Posted on April 3, 2015 | Comments Off on Abetting terrorism

“I’d be curious to know,” says commenter Jim Alex at Instapundit, “how much these women were ‘encouraged’ to do this by whatever agency arrested them. It seems the only plots the feds bust these days are the ones they create, recruit, and plan.”

Me, too. The prosecutor just happens to be Loretta Lynch, Barry Hussein’s stalled nominee for Eric Holder’s replacement. We now have a pattern of the feds encouraging and abetting wouldbe-terrorists. Except when it comes to the real thing. They didn’t catch the Boston marathon bombers until it was too late.

Those black homophobes

Posted on April 1, 2015 | Comments Off on Those black homophobes

You won’t likely be reading this story in the NYTimes anytime soon. It goes too much against the leftist grain which lumps minorities in one virtuous basket despite their very real differences over social issues, sometimes with each other.

It’s an old story, actually, which I first encountered covering the AIDS epidemic in Texas back in the early 80s. Black gays with AIDS were persona non grata in the black community whose “leaders” denied there were any gay black men.

This new rift between the predominantly white and leftist Presbyterian church (very big on divestment from Israel, by the way) and this council of black pastors over recognition of gay marriage is merely the latest (though perhaps the greatest) example of how even minorities disagree.

Willie’s Reserve: Better late than never

Posted on March 27, 2015 | 1 comment

He had to wait until he was 81 years old, but famed all-day toker Willie Nelson finally will offer Willie’s Reserve, his own brand of legal marijuana—at least in those states where it’s legal to sell it for recreational use.

Which, IIRC*, so far is only Colorado. The others, including D.C., allow you to grow your own but not to buy or sell it. He might be better off selling grow lights and how-to books.

UPDATE: *Okay, I’m wrong. Only D.C. requires you to grow but not to sell or buy it. You can buy or sell it for recreational use in Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska and at least a couple of cities in Maine. Go for it, Willie!

Bibi: Bomber of hospitals, mosques & schools

Fournier

Barry Hussein’s hometown newspaper, The Chicago Tribune, doesn’t like Bibi either. Or the IDF. Or Israel. I suppose we should be grateful their lying cartoonist Joe Fournier didn’t draw Bibi a hook nose.

UPDATE:  And the beat goes on: Pentagon discloses details of Israel’s nuke weapons program. Will any country ever trust us with their secrets again?
