FERGUSON, Mo. —With a controversial curfew lifted, and the National Guard on its way, protests were mostly peaceful Monday in this city that has been wracked by grief and rage over the killing of an unarmed black teenager.

Still, tensions remained high between police, demonstrators and the press. And Bishop Edwin Bass, who was on the scene urging people to remain calm, said that “the crowd shifts substantially about 8 p.m. A lot of the family people, and people here for legitimate protest reasons, leave. The people who are here for mayhem, confusion and chaos come out.”   Continue reading “Curfew dropped in Ferguson; attorney general to visit”

FERGUSON, Mo. (WLS) — Authorities are preparing for another night of protests in Ferguson, Mo., hoping that by setting up a designated protest area, there may be less violence.

“We will not allow vandals, criminal elements to impact the safety and security of this community,” said Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri Highway Patrol. “We will not allow those elements to disrupt or impact the soul of this community. We will ensure the rights and freedoms that this nation provides us will allow for protests.”    Continue reading “Missouri Police, National Guard Prepare for Ferguson Protests”

Ferrari 250 GTO BerlinettaYahoo News-by Justin Hyde

When the 19th copy of Enzo Ferrari’s 250 GTO Berlinetta left Maranello in 1962, it was just another race car, one that had a hard life ahead of wrecks and in one instance a driver’s death. Yet today, the GTO was poised to become the most expensive car ever sold, the new high mark in a global demand for classic cars.

Instead, Bonhams’ auctioneer Roberts Brooks brought the hammer down at $34.65 million — and with the 10 percent buyer’s premium, the final price of $38.115 million set a new record for vehicle auctions, but was well short of the record for a private vehicle sale.    Continue reading “1962 Ferrari 250 GTO sells for $38.1 million, beating record but not expectation”

Prepping for Civil Unrest and Martial LawThe Organic Prepper

Any prepared and informed person knows that the threat isn’t always the event itself, which could be anything from a natural disaster to a rioting spree after a sporting event to an economic collapse. It’s the chaos during the aftermath of the event.

If you ever had any doubts about that statement, you need look no further than Ferguson, Missouri.

Today, Governor Jay Nixon called in the National Guard.    Continue reading “Lessons from Ferguson: Prepping for Civil Unrest and Martial Law”

LOS ANGELES — Thousands of protesters marched through downtown LA on Sunday afternoon to demand justice for Ezell Ford, the 25-year-old black man who was shot and killed by two police officers while walking down the street near his home on Aug. 11.

Although the protest had been planned and publicized for 3 p.m., a group had already gathered outside the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters around 2:30. Many present carried signs calling for an end to police brutality and justice for Ezell Ford and other unarmed civilians killed by police officers. One particularly striking sign spelled out “F*** the Police” in multicolored glitter paint.  Continue reading “Thousands March Through Downtown LA To Protest LAPD Slaying Of Ezell Ford”

Washington, DC –-(Ammoland.com)- This was a good week for liberty.

Why?  Because one of America’s most outspoken, pro-gun sheriffs defeated attempts by an anti-gun liberal Mayor who tried to take him out.

Playing with perception: Lebrigand uses a Canon EOS 60D and a telescope to take the picturesDaily Mail- by CAMILLA CANOCCHI

A French photographer snapped these astonishing pictures of passenger planes appearing as though they are heading to some unusual locations… the sun and the moon. 

The shots of a Boeing Dreamliner were captured by Sebastien Lebrigand, 39, from the back garden in his home in Crepy-en-Valois, near Paris.

The images give the illusion that the planes are flying around the sun or about to land on the moon’s surface. Continue reading “Stunning photos capture passenger planes looking as though they are flying to the moon and circling the sun”

The news is full of the “humanitarian crisis” taking place on the U.S. southern border. We hear of the “unaccompanied children” who have been tragically released into the nation without parental oversight. It paints a horrifying picture that has affected compassionate, caring Americans, bringing many to tears and wanting to help. That’s what Americans do. We care. We cry. We rush to help.

What many, blinded by their compassion, are not seeing, is the reality of what this modern day version of Castro’s infamous Muriel Boat Lift will bring to U.S. cites in coming months and years. That’s because only about 20% of those now rushing across the border are actually innocent children. Many more are dangerous felons, members of murderous gangs, and some are even Middle Eastern terrorists avoiding the TSA.  Continue reading “The “Humanitarian Crisis” and the Coming Crime Wave in U.S. Cities”

The hair-raising incident took place at the household of Louise Milan on Powell Street.  It was the place where she and her husband had raised their six children, and had lived for three decades.   Continue reading “Indiana grandmother suffers violent SWAT raid after a neighbor uses her wireless internet”

Officials in Georgia’s Habersham County are refusing to pay for the mounting medical expenses of a toddler seriously injured by a flash grenade after a failed SWAT team raid earlier this year.

Bounkham ‘Bou Bou’ Phonesavanh was just 19 months old when a Habersham SWAT team initiated a no-knock warrant at his family’s home at around 3 a.m. on May 28. Bou Bou was asleep in his crib at the time, surrounded by his family and three sisters. The toddler was severely injured when SWAT team officers broke through the house’s door and threw a flashbang grenade that ultimately landed in the Bou Bou’s crib.   Continue reading “County officials refuse to pay medical bills for toddler burned by SWAT grenade”

Law enforcement agencies are turning to the Department of Defense, more and more, for their tactical policing needs, requesting such items as Mine Resistant Ambush Protection (MRAP) vehicles, surplus Humvees, rifles, and other assorted military-grade hardware. While some can be used in special operations, such as protecting officers from active shooters, or gaining entry into heavily fortified buildings, the sheer audacity of one Oklahoma Sheriff goes far beyond this.   Continue reading “County Sheriff Has Audacity to Stencil “Protecting Your Constitutional Rights” on Agency’s MRAP & Humvee”
