HIGHLAND • Debi Keeney says she last fired her gun 15 years ago, when she took shooting lessons.
The gun was a gift from a friend but it mostly stayed in a side-table drawer, she said, gathering dust. Then, early Sunday morning, Keeney pulled the trigger again — this time, she said, to save her sister’s life. Continue reading “Highland woman says she had no choice but to shoot intruder”

If you’re one of the 91 percent of Americans who opposes genetically engineered (GE) meat, you may have limited time to act: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed approval of the first-ever GE animal, called “AquAdvantage Salmon.” If this first approval proceeds, the process is likely to become top secret in the future: we won’t find out about new GE animals until after they’re approved for human consumption, and they won’t be labeled. Welcome to the new world of genetically engineered meat — unless we act now. Continue reading “Genetically Engineered Meat, Coming Soon to a Supermarket Near You”
New York City police handcuffed and “interrogated” 7-year-old Wilson Reyes for hours on December 4, after a playground dispute in which $5 went missing. Wilson’s family alleges that he was held at the 44th Precinct house in the Bronx for a total of ten hours during which he was handcuffed to a metal bar, says the New York Post.
$5 belonging to another student that was to be used for a cancelled school trip, “had fallen on the ground” in front of Wilson and two other boys. One boy took the money; Wilson was falsely accused of doing so as a result of which he “scuffled” with one of the other boys. Continue reading “Tell the NYPD: Don’t Handcuff Students!”

According to documents from the Ministry of Justice in BC, Canada, body removal and transport orders are being ‘tendered’ as outlined below in the freak-show, almost movie-like unfolding of what appears to be a coming Holocaust. What in the world are they planning for this time? BC lies on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Earthquake? Tsunami?
Keep an eye out on these locations listed below, the closing bid date for one is March 1st, merely 18 days away. They request to receive their ‘goods’ by May 1st, 2013. Tiny places like Quesnel, Vanderhoof, Kamloops, North Island, South Okanagan and Campbell River are on the list. You can check the documents yourself. Cybertribe Network shows you how to track down the documents below along with screenshots. What do you think, is this just normal preparation for the one inevitable in life by ‘caring’ government officials? With everything else unfolding around the world, I have to doubt it. Why is the Ministry of Justice getting involved when these towns have their own morgues and facilities? ‘X’ and Cybertribe Network hash this all out for us in the video below.

To push the release of its “Stop and Frisk Watch” iPhone app today, the NYCLU released a short clip of police officers demonstrating the technology on the previously mentioned Android version. Whereas the technology was designed with the hope of “[empowering] New Yorkers to confront abusive, discriminatory policing” by allowing them to tape the controversial searches in action and submit them for a legal review, the NYPD officers in the promo just giggle, say bad words, and give the middle finger.

Charl Van Wyk, who carried a gun to a church service, shot back at terrorists bent on mass slaughter and ultimately was credited with saving hundreds of lives, says politicians should rise above the “politically correct” and do what’s right to save the lives of children and teachers.
Weighing in on the current debate in America over the public’s access to self-defense, he told WND that only in a “sheer utopian fantasy” would people expect that “homicidal maniacs” would follow gun laws. Continue reading “Armed Churchgoer Prevents Slaughter”

“Didn’t know the Marines had to take the bolts out of their rifles for the Inaugural,” an email forwarded to Gun Rights Examiner from a United States Marine Corps source observed. “Wonder if someone can explain why [they] would be marching in the inaugural parade with no bolts in their rifles!”
