Enforce our Bill of Rights
Mises Institute – by Ryan McMaken
One of the most surprising developments in the wake of February’s Florida school shooting is the willingness by many generally police-friendly commentators to denounce the lack of action by local police against the shooter.
From National Review, to The Federalist, to Donald Trump, many of the law enforcement officers involved in the shooting are being accused of outright “cowardice.”

More than a decade ago the nation was in a stir over the birth of a fictional boy. The boy was Avery, son of Murphy Brown. Television’s Murphy Brown, played by Candice Bergen, was a successful news commentator who, after an unsuccessful relationship with a man that left her alone and pregnant, bore a son out of wedlock. The event, popular enough in its own right, became the center of political controversy when then Vice President Dan Quayle in a speech to the Commonwealth Club of California lamented that the show was “mocking the importance of a father.” Suddenly the nation polarized over this question of “family values.” But the controversy over Murphy Brown’s childbearing soon died down.

The cop is charged with negligent homicide by crashing into her car at 94 miles per hour, but mom allegedly didn’t make sure she was strapped in correctly.
The mother isn’t being charged with negligent homicide for not using a seat belt for her baby daughter but merely for allegedly not making sure “the straps were adjusted correctly.” This accusation, made by the police, justifies charging the mother with the same crime as the police officer who smashed into her car at 94 miles per hour. Continue reading “Mother Charged with Negligent Homicide after Off-Duty Cop Kills Daughter”

Saratoga, CA — Last year, the widow of an 86-year-old Navy veteran who was gunned down by armed intruders in his own home, filed a lawsuit against her husband’s killers — the Santa Clara County sheriff’s department. Now, the person who murdered this innocent man will not be held accountable as the killing of Eugene Craig has been ruled justified by the Santa Clara County district attorney’s office.
Craig was gunned down by police as he attempted to shield his wife from armed intruders who’d just broken into his home. The armed intruders were cops. Continue reading “Cops Kill Innocent 86yo Navy Vet as He Protected His Wife from Intruders, No Charges”
Senate Republicans in Florida received jars full of tar and feathers after they sided with Democrats and voted for some rather draconian gun laws. The jars are entirely symbolic, but were labeled with “enemy of freedom reward.”
Of the 17 Republicans who voted against basic gun rights, only six are faced with reelection this year. Other laws some of the Republicans voted for included a mandatory three day wait period and bump stock ban. Continue reading “Lawmakers Received Jars Of Tar And Feathers After Gun Control Vote”
(Reuters) – Florida state lawmakers gave final passage on Wednesday to a gun-safety bill that would raise the legal age for buying rifles, impose a three-day waiting period on all firearms sales, and allow the arming of some public school employees.
The package was spurred by the shooting rampage three weeks ago that killed 17 students and faculty members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland and led to an extraordinary lobbying campaign by young survivors of the massacre.

COLCHESTER, Vt. (WCAX) At first look, you may think it’s something you’d find at NASA’s headquarters or even in a “Star Wars” film. But there’s someone inside the strange-looking device healing. It’s a hyperbaric chamber. The concept has been around in the U.S. for more than a century but it is fairly new to Vermont.
“This changed my life and I wouldn’t be here now if not for this,” said Grace Johnstone of Hyperbaric Vermont. Continue reading “Hyperbaric healing”

The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit charging that a Wisconsin nursing home’s insistence that all employees get annual flu vaccinations amounted to religious discrimination and a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, CNBC reports.
The lawsuit, filed March 6, claims that nursing assistant Barnell Williams was told in the fall of 2016 that she would lose her job at the county-owned Lasata Care Center if she did not get vaccinated. This policy conflicted with her “sincerely held religious belief that Bible-based scriptures prohibited flu shots,” according to a DOJ statement.
