I open carried for awhile. I was never comfortable really, I was always concerned that this might happen. It was a remote possibility, but those are the kinds of possibilities that seem to drive a lot of our perceptions of the world around us. Anyway, I stopped doing it. I wasn’t truly convinced that something like this would happen to me, I just couldn’t shake the uncomfortable feeling. I took comfort in the fact that it had never happened before, or at least not that anyone could remember. Can’t say that anymore.
I’m not against open carry at all, by the way. If you want to do it, then do it. But for the sake of yourself, have a plan. And don’t let that plan be to chase the bad guy around the store when he already has your gun.
On a related note, I challenge anyone to give me one good reason pot is still illegal in 2011. The fact that it is should be a bomb proof clue that your government is not functioning for your benefit but for it’s own. Regardless of the ideological badge that your particular favorite politician wears, or the badge of the politician that you love to hate, all of them…ALL OF THEM…are bending you over an oversized oak desk and ramming their raging hard ons into your unwilling little assholes. Wake the fuck up.
Because one day you might just stick that gun in the wrong motherfucking face.
Mugger gets his punk ass beat like an Obama piñata at a Klan rally.
All he needs is ketchup, mustard, pickles and a bun.
According to police, the near-victim said Miranda approached his car on near Kenneth Ave. and 55th St. and asked for a light. The man, who did not want to be identified, said he didn’t have a light when Miranda pulled a gun, demanded valuables and told the driver to get out of the car, police said.
What happened next is probably what you would expect when someone tries to rob an MMA fighter: a struggle ensued.
Miranda was left with bad bruises all over his face and a bullet in his ankle after the gun discharged during the presumably one-sided fight, according to the report.
The UFC fighter was able to hold Miranda on the ground until police arrived.
My google-fu has only turned up one likely possibility for a UFC fighter named Justin who fits the general description.
The same kind of douchebag who would spend $400 on shot glasses.
“WTF broseph? Why are you putting my certified faggot not dishwasher safe stainless steel ShotShellâ„¢ shot glasses in the goddamn dishwasher man? Do you have any idea how much those things cost me, broham?”
You cannot convince me that we are on the verge of economic collapse when shit like this exists in the world.
Got a few gems for you today. Now I don’t give a fuck how you feel about sagging pants, but chasing a guy down and shooting at him because of how he was running and holding his pants is inexcuseable.
An Orlando police officer shot at an unarmed man with saggy pants during a confrontation last weekend because the cop thought the man was reaching for a gun. But the suspect said his belt broke and he was just trying to keep his pants from falling.
Kevin Lorenzo Brooks, 32, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon — even though he was unarmed — after the confrontation with the officer Saturday.
Brooks told a detective he reached for his pants because his belt broke. The officer involved was placed on administrative leave pending the results of an internal-affairs investigation, according to police spokesman Sgt. Vincent Ogburn.
Typical, homeboy gets charged with a more serious (and in this case non-existent) crime because the cop was embarrassed by his own incompetence. I don’t care if you are ugly and black, you should not have to face a pat down from the cops for merely talking to someone on the street.
Sullivan, 68, was the elected Arapahoe County Sheriff for 19 years. He retired in 2002 and went on to become director of safety and security for Cherry Creek Schools. He was a nationally-regarded law enforcement figure and in 2001 as the National Sheriff Association named Sullivan “Sheriff of the Year.â€
The investigation that led to Sullivan’s arrest began in mid-November, according to contacts familiar with the case. They say several informants provided information to law enforcement connecting Sullivan to the distribution and use of methamphetamine.
As part of the investigation authorities say Sullivan agreed to meet a male informant and provide the man drugs in exchange for sex. That’s when Investigators and members of the South Metro Drug Task Force arrested Sullivan.
Nothing like some meth infused buttsechs to get the evening started. That boy needs some JESUS in his life!
Ironically, Sullivan will be jailed in the Arapahoe County Jail, which was named for the legendary sheriff — The Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. Detention Facility.
Yep, that is some classic irony right there.
Next, from a tip from one of our Forum members, we have your typical gang, roaming the streets and roughing up strangers.
On June 5, 2011 Champaign police choked a 20 year old African-American man in the back seat of a squad car while he was in handcuffs. His crime? Asking why he had been stopped, roughed up, and pepper sprayed while walking in campus town.
Oh look, video!
People laugh at criminals who do stupid shit knowing that they are on camera. How much worse is it when a cop does it?
Another Youth, Gary McFarland, showed up at a press conference about police abuse a few days later with his jaw wired shut. His statement was that police broke his jaw while after they pepper sprayed him, threw him to the ground and put him in handcuffs.
Unlike Calvin’s case, the City of Champaign has refused to release the squad car video in the June 5th incident, but it was been obtained anonymously and posted here.
BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) – A lawsuit claims Adams County authorities detained a deaf man for 25 days in jail without providing a sign-language interpreter before domestic assault charges were eventually dropped.
Timothy Siaki’s lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court seeks unspecified damages and a finding that Adams County officials violated the Americans With Disabilities Act over his May 14, 2010, arrest and detention.
The Denver Post reports Siaki doesn’t read or write English or read lips, but he does communicate through American Sign Language. Deputies arrested Siaki after a noise complaint at a motel where Siaki and his fiancDee were verbalizing sounds while arguing.
Deputies responding to the complaint knocked down the motel-room door and tackled Siaki after he failed to respond to their commands.
Yep, we gun totters are big spenders too. This is a good sign for America – a good sign I tell you.
Deputy Assistant FBI Director Jerry Pender said the checks, required by federal law, surged to 129,166 during the day, far surpassing the previous high of 97,848 on Black Friday of 2008.
The actual number of firearms sold last Friday is likely higher because multiple firearms can be included in a transaction by a single buyer. And the FBI does not track actual gun sales.
Some gun industry analysts attributed the unusual surge to a convergence of factors, including an increasing number of first-time buyers seeking firearms for protection and women who are being drawn to sport shooting and hunting.
The clock is ticking hombres. Wash the sticky off that webcam and get it ready for our December video response contest.
