Sometimes a single story has a way of standing in for everything you need to know.  In the case of the up-arming, up-armoring, and militarization of police forces across the country, there is such a story.  Not the police, mind you, but the campus cops at Ohio State University now possess an MRAP; that is, a $500,000, 18-ton, mine-resistant, ambush-protected armored vehicle of a sort used in the Afghan War and, as Hunter Stuart of the Huffington Post reported, built to withstand “ballistic arms fire, mine fields, IEDs, and nuclear, biological, and chemical environments.”  Sounds like just the thing for bouts of binge drinking and post-football-game shenanigans.   Continue reading “How every part of Americans lives became a police matter”

Will the Hershbergers enjoy Christmas with their family at their Ohio home?

The last news report about the Ohioan Amish Hershberger family trying to avoid court-ordered chemotherapy showed that they were back in the US but still hiding. It did appear, at that time, that the hospital was not backing down. Even though reports said law enforcement and child protective services weren’t on the search, those parties had been out at the Hershbergers’ residence throughout the past few months.   Continue reading “Ohio Ends Stand-Off Over Amish Girl Forced Chemo Case”

Not only could you “shoot your eye out, kid,” you might also go to jail for owning that BB gun in certain states.

New Jersey and other jurisdictions make little or no distinction between Daisy’s classic Red Ryder BB gun immortalized in the film “A Christmas Story,” and real guns.

Visitors to the NC Museum of History who view the workshop of inventor David Marshall “Carbine” Williams get only a glimpse of the colorful character who died 37 years ago this month.

Raleigh Times staff writer D.I. Strunk described some of the story in Williams’ obituary.

He was a colorful backwoods man turned inventor-genius. But he also was a man who lost his freedom and then regained it, in a sense, with guns.   Continue reading “Behind the Carbine Williams Story”

To answer the question posed in the articles heading ……..

Most likely to cause trauma in the minds of their victims and because they could. Since peace keepers became law enforcement, they’ve lost not only their souls and their basic humanity, but our respect. They’ve become mindless yes men and drones, eager to do their master’s bidding in hopes of receiving table scraps.

To this I say, “ Death To ALL Tyrants!”   Continue reading “Now Why Would Cops Need to Kill a Pet Parakeet?”
