City governments around the country continually debate hiring more police officers when the crime rate rises. Of course, all this accomplishes is increasing tax rates and increasing the revenue of donut shops.

An example of true crime control can be seen recently in Dallas, TX when a business owner shot and killed a burglar, not once, but twice in a month. This is one man that understands that the only person that can protect you and your property is you. As the gentleman’s neighbor puts it, “taking car of your own.”

Sometimes, face to face encounters with Leviathan are necessary:

A fire breaks out in a damaged, partially demolished New York skyscraper at Ground Zero- but it doesn’t collapse into its own footprint. Amazing. The neo-con laws of physics have been defied!

From my cold dead fingers………NOT. A man turns in his “rocket launcher” to police for a pair of sneakers. What a wuss:

Melting glaciers have exposed those unfortunate enough not to heed the cooling warnings of Al Gore‘s Ice Age ancestors:

Johnny Mac greets fellow believers. It only seems like yesterday they were busy greasin’ gooks:

Semper F-eye.  This gives a whole new meaning to the term, “blinding nationalism.”

Off target, again. The Emperor attempts a pick but misses:

USG crusader forces pray for strength from Satan before going out on another killing spree:

 This must have been one fascinating, revealing interview:

The gun grabbing ATF models its newest headgear:

“Hey, smile Amurrica! It’s an ugly war!”

Al Gore, the Climate Change Con Man, makes use of no-talent musicians to entertain the Chicken Littles. Maybe he should visit Argentina which is having its coldest winter in 40 years:

You were blessed with a son

You raised him the best you that you were able.

You gave him to the state

Now, it’s a pretty rag you cradle:

Dallas police have finally arrested a man responsible for robbing local convenience stores by throwing hot coffee in the face of cashiers and than grabbing money from the cash register.

Maybe it’s long past time for our heroic legislators to offer remedies for such crimes. Obviously, cups must be registered by the state and given traceable serial numbers even before attempting to pour said coffee. A “C-chip” could be required in all coffee dispensing machines that would not deliver the hot product into any cup that is not legally registered. Perhaps proposing a three day waiting period for hot coffee purchases. This period would give time for a complete background check of the potential customer. Let’s make a law requiring that coffee be dispensed cold (temperature to be checked periodically by ATF&C spot inspection) and requiring that said coffee be reheated by the customer outside the boundaries of a “hot coffee-free zone;”  being anywhere within 500 feet of a convenience store cashier.

There are endless possibilities for “doing something” to end such crimes. All of them bring endless opportunities to restrict individual freedom. But hey, our masters say we have too much of that freedom stuff, anyway.

U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey puts on his killing face as he explains to future military widows his plan to increase the number of active duty soldiers by 65,000 in five years:

Just who is the terrorist here?

Government thugs point to those perpetrators of crime- inanimate objects called “guns:”

Cops can’t even shoot straight with water. Why in God’s name should they be allowed to use guns?

Even Her Royal Highness is creeped out by the Prince of Darkness:

Just in case you haven’t heard:

A pilot with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels died Saturday when his plane crashed into a South Carolina neighborhood during an air show, authorities said.

The six members of the elite demonstration team were in the process of forming its trademark Delta triangle formation when one of the F/A-18 Hornet jets crashed, a Blue Angels spokesman said. Eight people on the ground were injured.

I say it’s high time we propose a law prohibiting the U.S. Navy’s access to war planes. Hey, we just need to keep them out of the wrong hands, that’s all.

To those who are using the mainstream media as their platform in calling for ever greater gun control legislation in the wake of the awful massacre at Virginia Tech, I’d like to ask where their outrage was when cops shot to death the totally innocent and unarmed Derek J. Hale? Of course, that injustice barely received any national attention at all, save for a few conscientous bloggers. I don’t recall any loud calls from the pro-gun control folks demanding greater control over the government police’s use of guns.

Let’s be clear about who would get to control the guns in a state of total “gun control”: Government bureaucrats and mentally ill malconents like Cho Seung-Hui, though gun control proponents seem to be wholly oblivious to this. It’s almost as if they think gun control laws are magical incantations that would make all violent behavior disappear in a puff of smoke. Americans’ choices of how to protect themselves and their property would ultimately be subject to the approval of the George W. Bushes and the Hillary Clintons and their fellow sycophantic, boot-licking parasites.

I wonder when we can reasonably expect to ever hear a mass popular demand to permanently disarm the president of the United States? Don’t hold your breath. Gun control proponents would rather have us all subjected to the increasingly violent whims of government enforcers and lawless criminals (if I may be permitted to be a bit redundant).

UPDATE: Be sure to check out this Wikipedia article and this blog entry on how a deranged gunman was subdued at another Viriginia school back in 2002. They’re both linked on today’s STR homepage, beneath the link to an article on Virginia Tech’s 2006 campus ban on guns—a ban that proved to be enormously useful to Cho Seung-Hui.
