A 25-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after an 82-year-old woman was beheaded in broad daylight in a suburban back garden.

The anti-gun movement currently focuses on the terms “gun-violence” and “gun-crime.” As if the underlying violence and crime will suddenly cease if guns didn’t exist. But here we have a worst case example of the fact violence and crime don’t go away because you’ve gotten rid of guns. In fact, crimes like these only serve to fan the flames of Britain’s current campaign against, you guessed it, knives. Yes, years after they’ve all but completely banned guns, crime and violence still exist in England.

There’s no point in denying the actual homicide rate in the US is higher than in the UK. That’s a well reported and verified fact. However; what’s less often reported is that in the US, you’re less likely to be a victim in the first place. Of course, in the face of that fact, you’ll find that some criminologists and most mainstream media outlets will argue that you can’t compare crime between the two countries.

They argue that comparisons can’t be made because the definition crimes such as rape, sexual assault, or aggravated assault often vary between countries and even individual agencies within the same country.  In fact, the very definition of any violent crime varies so much, they argue, that no apples to apples comparison can be made. Funny, those same folks have no problems making their own comparisons so long as they can say there is a higher rate of homicides “caused by guns.”

“Erika Quinn who described herself as a Moms Demand Action leader for Oklahoma, was ordered by the courts to remain 300 yards or more away from the children named in the order, as well as surrender any and all firearms that she may own.”

Funny how often anti-gunners are people who are actually prohibited from owning guns themselves. Of course, that’s not always the case. Bloomberg is legally entitled to own a gun and has a full squad of goons to carry guns on his behalf. He just doesn’t think YOU should have the ability to do the next best thing…Carry a gun yourself.

Moms Demand Action buys spot in the Houston Comical, I mean Chronicle, to assault Kroger.

Screenshot from 2014-09-04 13:05:07It’s been making the rounds that Moms Demand Action has been trying to shame Kroger into adopting policies that MDA/Watts/Bloomberg find appealing. Specifcally, banning guns from Kroger stores. Kroger, to their credit, has thus far said, in a nutshell, “Our business, our decision, we don’t need your advice, we’re here to sell groceries…Please move along.” Well in the last few days, it seems Bloomberg, Watts and the gang have kicked their campaign into high gear, buying ad space with publications in areas served by Kroger.  I could be wrong but, I suspect Kroger will leave things as they are so long as no one “shows their appreciation” by staging a scene to “educate the rest of us” on our rights.

Michigan man who shot Renisha McBride on porch gets 17-32 years – LA Times

An unidentified member of the jury, made up of seven men and five women, told the Detroit Free-Press that “no one” believed that Wafer shot McBride in self-defense. His testimony did not hold water, the juror said, because Wafer first said that the shooting was an accident but then changed his story.

Not having seen all the evidence or even heard the testimony, I will posit that it is entirely possible that Wafer was convicted not because of an untruthful statement but, one simply made in error that he later recanted. As such, one lesson here may be that one should wait until you have the benefit of legal counsel BEFORE making your official statement to the police. If you make an erroneous statement, a jury is likely to consider you a liar. If your attorney makes an erroneous statement that you correct, it is often an entirely different ballgame. Of course, it’s also possible that Wafer plainly lied to cover his butt upon realizing his mistake and because he had conflicting statements, the jury convicted him.

Another lesson, one I’d argue is more important, is that you need to be clear about what level of force you’re using and why. It’s not enough to be “scared.” You need to be able to articulate a clear threat. Plenty of people get “scared” just because they they find another person’s appearance frightening. But that alone does not justify the use of force. Furthermore, someone banging on the door from the outside is not often seen as an immediate threat, particularly if the door is still locked and not coming off the hinges. And then you have a disparity of parties here in that juries often have a hard time believing a man in his home with a gun reasonably felt threatened by an unknown woman banging on the door if the door wasn’t giving way, even after midnight.

And finally, remember the most important part of the Miranda warning, “…every thing you say can and will be used against you.” Past statements to neighbors and on social media can and will be used against you. Just as we are seeing Michael Brown and Darren Wilson’s respective pasts brought up in the court of public opinion, count on the same happening to you if you are ever involved in a use of force incident.
