 Now 'Hiram' would be Hiram Grau, Director of the Illinois State Police, who I had the scammer make the check out to.  It was actually delivered via USPS to the ISP's Springfield office.  Now this is AFTER I had responded w/ a link to a forum describing all the details of his little scam including the various email, names and other addresses he uses.

You'ld have to be stupider than dirt to fall for a scam from someone this dense. So, how should I respond?

The Hobbit Pt I Trailer

OK. I just don't know. The whole three movies out of a book 1/4 the length of LOTR series is really turning me off.

What say my readers? 

One Person Ruining It For Everyone Else

Single mother sues school over 'Father-Daughter' dance. 

 Seriously lady?  This was such an imposition on your life you felt the absolute need to take the school to court and ruin an evening of fun for dozens of other families?  And how much ostracism is your daughter going to suffer now that you were a selfish POS?  Then I'm sure you'll keep blaming the other families.

And it this person moves?  She'll go somewhere else and cause the same problems. Like a rat fouling their own nest.

Maybe Romney was right about the whole 'victim' comment. 

Chicago Police Security

One would think that in a building storing well over a $100K of city property, they would install some sort of alarm or security system or even have a guard, especially if it was vital to the operation of the Chicago Police Dept.

But that would make sense.

Instead, they didn't and now have no idea who broke in and released dozens of CPD horses, injuring two of them.  This being the second possible attack on stables in the last week.

I'm sure the administration puts as much thought into protecting the public.

"Gun control means that Voldemort wins." 

 Found on FB. Don't know if it's old or new. Don't care. This is the first time I'ld seen it and it's funny.

Denial: Dictionary Definition

What do you do when you write a rambling article trying to paint your opponents as terrorists/traitors/insurrectionists and the majority of responses point out the numerous instances where YOU have actively opposed the foundations of this nation?

Why ignore the points made and declare your article a 'success' for having all that opposition:

Ladd Everitt: You can typically judge the impact of these pieces by the volume of the hysteria from pro-gun activists in response.

 Ladd really really hates all those handy screencaps we've made of them opposing most of the Bill of Rights.  W/ evidence like that, the only response he can have is to ignore it and pretend he's morally and intellectually superior.

The mental disease continues.

NG(V)AC: The Final Mental Breakdown

If you read up on Elliot Fineman and the NG(V)AC , you'll not that he's not entirely there. I mean he honestly believes he has 14 million members of his organization that just now, after nearly a year in existence, broke 400 likes on his FB page.

His latest 'Gun Fact' post takes the cake and has shown just how delusional this person is. The title gives you a clue that Elliot needs some meds:

 If Only The Criminals Had Guns, U.S. Gun Homicides Would Plummet.  

OK, titles can be exaggeration. We'll give him a pass on that for now. 

The usual US vs UK gun comparisons w/ no historical comparison. Old hat, right?  But then this:

It is the law-abiding citizens with guns, not the criminals, who are committing the majority of the gun homicides.

By 'law abiding citizens', he includes in that category mass murders and terrorists who weren't included in the 'prohibited' category due primarily to gov't screw ups. 

I wonder how he can claim this being that he's previously claimed that 'There is no such thing as a law abiding citizen'? Is he saying there's no gun homicides? Being that he's in Chicago, how does he then explain Chicago Police Dept. reports stating that 87% of the homicides committed in the city are by those w/ prior arrest records (pg56/57)?

Gun control is a mental illness and Elliot Fineman is the head patient.

Quiet Weekend in Chicago

Only a dozen people shot through early Sun evening.

I  love this bit:

 About 100 people people lingered in the 1300 block of North Latrobe Avenue in the North Austin neighborhood, some yelling, but police said they offered "little cooperation."

 Because those who weren't involved or supportive of those involved are afraid of the repercussions if they dare talk to the police.

Even the Aldermen are running scared while da mayor travels w/ a tax payer funded, armed security detail.

Are You Friends With John Boch?

That was the question asked by attendees of the a recent 'Gun Buyback' in Champaign/Urbana. By the intensity of the questioning, one would think that the police were looking for a dangerous terrorist, murderer or gun smuggler. Each attendee was asked whether they knew this person and then specific details about the firearms they were attempting to turn in at this 'no questions asked' event.

So what crime did this person commit that the police were so interested in him?

He organized people to turn in guns at gun buy backs.  It's just wasn't the right 'kind' of people who were turning them in and they don't like what happens w/ the money.  In the words of a CPD mouthpiece, actually getting unsafe guns off the street "is abusing a program intended to increase the safety of our communities”.

John Boch is the president of Gunssavelife/Champaign County Rifle Assoc.  While he and other firearm rights activists have been doing this for some time, it became famous a few months ago when they netted over $6k by turning in junk guns to a Chicago gun buyback and using the money to teach kids safe firearm handling.

What a dastardly use of the money right? Much better it be used to buy drugs or junk food.

This immoral use of money got the PuSH'ers knickers in such a twist that police and organizers refused to accept turn ins from anyone they even suspected of belonging to a 'gun organization', even breaking down in tears when they attempted to steal firearms from attendees w/ the excuse that they were only giving out two cards maximum AFTER taking 3+ guns from people. 

“with tears in his eyes” passed the third card over, asking “What are you doing here?”

Ironically, GSL had nothing to do w/ this event but it clearly shows that these kind of circuses are nothing more that 'feel good' events designed so cities can say they're 'doing something about gun violence".
