Edumication
The next time some liberal friend of yours cites the Zimmerman-Martin shooting as a gross injustice – a “white man shooting an unarmed black child” – refer them to this long, but utterly impeccably researched series by the great Massood Ayoob. Then sweep up the debris of their “argument”. Side benefit; you’ll likely learn a…

The Show Trial
Josef Stalin called. He wants his theatrical version of a “justice” system back. President Obama’s Justice Department was involved in organizing protests around the Martin/Zimmerman trial, and according to Sanford’s police chief, hijacked what should have been a local investigation: Bill Lee, who testified Monday in Zimmerman’s second-degree murder trial, told CNN’s George Howell in…

Ted Nugent: “This Case Is Irresponsible And Unethical”
Rock and roller, talk show host and Second Amendment activist Ted Nugent spoke out about the Martin / Zimmerman case yesterday on MSNBC’s “Hardball”. The quotes were pretty damning: Nugent noted that the affidavit of probable cause was “so thin it’ll get thrown out by a judge”, and predicted Zimmerman’s acquittal. The Motor City Madman…

It Took About Six Weeks Of Investigation…
…for the prosecutor in Florida to charge George Zimmerman with Second Degree Murder. Corey also had a message for those who have been rushing to judgment on the case. “You cannot know what it’s like to launch this type of investigation and come to this conclusion,” State Attorney Angela Corey said during the press conference.…

Chanting Points Memo: “How Is A Bowling Ball The Same As A Spoon?”
It’s a scenario that’s launched a thousand “miscarriage of military justice” stories and more than a few movies during and after three wars, now; soldier gets into difficult, ambiguous situation; soldier, believing himself to be threatened, shoots. Judge Advocate General jacks the soldier up over an arcane technicality in the “rules of engagement”, adjudicated by…

NBC: “Curing Root Rot By Trimming Leaves”
NBC identified and whacked a fall guy for the fraudulent, narrative-based editing of the George Zimmerman 911 call we talked about last week. NBC News has fired the producer it deemed most responsible for the airing of a selectively edited 911 call placed by George Zimmerman the night he killed Trayvon Martin. Sources at NBC…

Chanting Points Memo: With “Experts” Like This, Who Needs Enemas?
Long before the Trayvon Martin shooting started dominating the headlines, gun law reform was in the news in Minnesota, and had already spawned a smaller, more “Barney-Fife”-y version of the disinformation mill that has been sweeping the nation these past few weeks. I and the rest of the Minnesota Second Amendment community have been playing…

Chanting Points Memo: The Law And The Leftyblog Fantasy World
Hypothetically, here: Let’s say that a Neo-Nazi – let’s call him “Tim Stevenson” – gives a rabble-rousing speech at a tiny meeting of neo-nazis. He rouses the skinheads and flat-earthers present to a fever pitch of hatred against “N****rs, Kikes, Wops, Spics, F****ts, C**holics and Immigrants”, calling for their expulsion from the US – peacefully,…

An Inconvenient Investigation
Let me make a coupile of things crystal clear, lest the idiocracy that is the Twin Cities Sorosphere try to make hay by gang-raping the context of what I’m about to write: In a self-defense shooting, nobody wins. As you are repeatedly told in carry permit training, having to kill someone in justified self-defense is…

The Unemployment Rate Rose By One Last Week
Sandra Fluke got laid off from her position as “Obama Administration Stage Prop”. Trayvon Martin has the gig now. I’ve been pondering why the Administration has been going so long on the Martin case. Certainly the Obama administration has hated guns all along; the President tried use the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives…

Open Letter To Channel Nine News
To: News Department, KMSP-TV (“Fox Nine”) From: Mitch Berg, very occasional viewer Re: A Warning To whom it may concern, I don’t watch a lot of TV news – but for whatever reason, I do wind up watching your morning news; it does carry a fair amount of local news, and yeah, I like Marler’s weather.…

Someone Got Shot
One dark, ambiguous evening, a black youth was shot under circumstances that, to the local media, were confusing. Not much information was available; the youth was shot by a citizen with a legal handgun. The citizen claimed self-defense. So the local media did what they always do on big stories – shootings! – when not…
