Cop who saved shoppers from shooter: I am not a hero

happy cop worship day, everybody! to celebrate this regular day, i have decided to peel off another IDIOTicle from the corral, just for you fuckers. thank me if you must, but be home by 'lebbun.

Cop who saved shoppers from shooter: I am not a hero
"Let me see some ID."

I stared at his right hip, with its holstered sci-fi weapon. Taser. My eyes moved to his left hip. Pistol.

"Is that a request or a demand?"

He straightened. "It's a demand."
where else are you gonna get terror-filled, anticipatory prose like that, huh? but wait — there's more!
A free press would not so vigorously embrace tyrants in embarrassing drivel. Rather, a free press would be noting when dead victims of shootings were disarmed by laws which left their murderers armed. The effects of laws are not the avowed intentions of those laws, but rather the real outcome — in the case of almost every mass shooting, the lengthening of the victim list amid the failure to prevent the shooter from holding the dangerous object the law says he's not supposed to have.
oh my. looks like a must-read to me!

Snippets:

Mr. Bixby, 39, and his father, Arthur, 77, are accused of murder in the fatal shootings of two law enforcement officers who were trying to seize the land on behalf of the State of South Carolina. Both men face the death penalty. Mr. Bixby’s mother, Rita, 74, was indicted as an accessory.

...

What the authorities said was Mr. Bixby’s armed refusal to give up a small piece of his land for the widening of Highway 72 — “We will protect it to our last breath,” he is reported to have proclaimed — is regarded here as senseless. Guns at the ready, Mr. Bixby was primed and waiting for his face-off with the police, witnesses said.

...

“During all this they continued to cuss,” said Drew McCaffrey of the South Carolina Department of Transportation. “There was a lot of cussing from Steve and Rita,” Mr. McCaffrey said.

“They were cussing an awful lot, him and his mom,” said Mr. McCaffrey’s colleague Dale Williams, who recalled the “No Government Agents” sign in the front yard. Michael Hannah, another department employee, recalled, “They basically started making some threats, and there was cussing.”

sick. and nowhere in that article is it even acknowledged, let alone noted, that these men were defending their property from invasion and theft.

what i found most disgusting was that monuments to these slain vermin have apparently been placed on the property they sought to steal.

the defenders of their property — weirdo, foul-mouthed outsiders the town clan found undesirable. those who would steal from them under color of law: "well-known and well-liked".

could there be better evidence of press collusion with organized criminals? weasels. it's like reading fucking pravda.

thanks for commenting. i'll probably copy that into its own blog post tonight. if you have a site to plug or anything, spill it.
