Paging Jeremy's Mother...

The East Orange, NJ Police Department is getting ready to greatly enlarge its ranks, with what's being called the "Virtual Community Patrol."

Soon-to-be-chosen residents will get access to a a Web site that provides panoramic views of their block, allows them to type in general complaints, pinpoint a problem location, immediately send that information to police headquarters, and simultaneously activate hidden police surveillance cameras, Police Director Jose Cordero said.

If you don't understand the title reference, it's because you haven't read RebelFire 1.0: Out of the Gray Zone.

Why not?

What's stopping you?

Another Brady "A-List" Success Story

A transient armed with two guns opened fire inside a Denny's restaurant during lunch hour Wednesday, killing two men and wounding a husband and wife before taking his own life, police said.

People fled in panic or hid in the bathroom.

Being a transient living in his car, it is highly unlikely the perpetrator was in compliance with California's "may issue if we feel like it" carrying permit laws. Still, "gun control" advocates should take heart that this happened in a Brady Campaign "A-" rated state, meaning the attacker could rely on the probability that none of the "law-abiding" customers or employees would have the capability to return fire.

Perhaps once the microstamping and personalized handgun edicts are passed, and California brings that grade up to an "A+", tragedies like this will cease once and for all.

Is It Just Me...?

"What goes through the mind of a serial killer?" the blurb for News at 11 teases?

Why is it that my only and immediate thought was "cavitation"?

The Gunless Biathlete

"At the moment, all my rifles are supplied (by competition organisers) so it's a different weapon every time. Probably more than 40 per cent of the guys I race have their own guns and I think that's a huge advantage for them...In and out of Australia is a real pain because we have the toughest gun licensing laws around."

So much for "sporting purposes"...
