**Posted by Phineas Pretty significant, I’d say, since the cops have to deal regularly with violent criminals and the aftermath of violent crime. If a majority of them say new gun regulations won’t do any good and might do harm, then why pass them? (1) An authoritative new poll of more than 15,000 cops released [...]

Posted by: Phineas on January 8, 2013 at 5:56 pm » 2 Comments

**Posted by Phineas Following up on this story. It seems the press conference at which LAPD Chief Charlie Beck produced supposed rocket launchers as evidence of the need for stricter firearms regulations wasn’t the first time. They may even have been the same pieces: But upon looking into this story further, it appears that Chief [...]

Posted by: Phineas on January 6, 2013 at 1:01 pm » 8 Comments

**Posted by Phineas Remember when Los Angeles’ latest gun buyback program made headlines last month because a couple of “rocket launchers” were turned in? Pretty scary right? A dramatic, powerful argument for more “smart” gun regulations, no? A perfect illustration of Senator Feinstein’s attempt to ban weapons with a “military characteristic,” don’t you think? Only problem is, they [...]

Read this. It’s a lengthy and detailed account about the life of George Zimmerman prior to the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin, and once you read it, you’ll get the same impression of  Zimmerman that I and many others have gotten over the last couple of months in spite of the mainstream media’s desperate campaign [...]

 

#Trayvon: @MattGutmanABC redeems self w/ exclusive photo of Zimmerman’s bloody head

Posted by: ST on April 20, 2012 at 6:20 pm » 16 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a detailed post on the overwhelming evidence of mainstream media bias and narrative setting in the tragic Trayvon Martin case, which has thrust America into yet another race war thanks in no small part to MSM outlets like NBC and ABC, but also because of the usual race [...]
