SUBTITLED: Whoops, Our Bad!
"They were startled from their sleep by heavily armed police officers shouting at them through a loudspeaker to leave their house one by one with hands up.
Police had a warrant to search the Atlantic Avenue house for a black, long-barrelled seven-millimetre handgun, a leather holster and 10 rounds of ammunition. A confidential police source had told investigators the gun was there, but officers later learned the source made a mistake.
Police handcuffed Cerros and put him in one police car. Horyski and her son were put in the back seat of another.
Inside the two-storey house, one officer fired his Glock service pistol into the wall of a bathroom that was under renovation. Police say the officer tripped on a carpet runner and fired accidentally. A single round was shot through seven sheets of drywall leaning against one wall and created a large hole in the bathroom wall."
As usual, David C. is up in arms, and why not. On my end, I'm still trying to figure out precisely when it was that law enforcement, in part, and how much part remains to be seen, declared war on the Constitution, and where they find the men to assault law abiding citizens.
Here's another tidbit:
"A New Jersey woman has accused the Clarke County coroner of taking guns from her father's Bogart house after he pronounced the 86-year-old dead of heart failure, a charge that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation may investigate...
"The mere fact that my father's body was still in the garage just under the room that Mr. Tribble was searching leaves me extremely distressed," Sharpe said. "It appears that rifling through my father's belongings took preference over having his body taken care of. This is certainly a most despicable act on the part of Mr. Tribble"...
"If it wasn't an elected official, there's no doubt we'd investigate it as a theft," Holeman said. "There was no reason for (Tribble) to go any farther than the garage, and if anything needed to be taken for safekeeping, it should have been taken by us."
What's further amazing, remains the fact that the big "Conservative" blogs won't touch these stories with a ten-foot pole. Regular forays into which moslem bloodsucker might be dead, should, one would think, take a backseat every now and again to stories reporting the fight from within.
Where's Malkin? Or Charles at LGF, even if he IS an anti? Powerline? Is it any wonder that the Supreme Court refuses to hear 2nd Amendment cases when even the Republican (cough, RINO) cyberspace noisemakers won't toss us a bone now and then?
We sit here crossing our fingers that the new Congress won't resurrect the assault weapon ban (and I'm as guilty as the next fellow in daydreaming of a world where the words Moderate Democrat actually mean something), and not a peep from the bigwigs.
Are they fearful of being branded as gun-nuts? Help me out, kids. I'm having an epiphany here and it isn't a pleasant one. Am I destined to remain in the trenches as the haves clink their glasses of bubbly while trading air-kisses as they giggle about the grunts who got them where they are? Are the footsoldiers around just to take the shots so that the mighty may parade themselves about to the national media without fear of injury?
To be eclectic is a good thing. But where's Stop The ACLU when it comes to telling the tale of the gunshops and smiths and manufacturers that have been put out of business?
Would it kill the Box O' Truth proprietor to include a link to or reference of the fight? Would it cut too deep into his shooting time or send him to the poor house by ditching one of the MANY moneymaking ads in favor of some 2nd Amendment news?
What's that? They ALL preach to the same hive, and to them firearm enthusiasts are the lunatic fringe? And even they who make something of a living from guns have evolved into fat-cats who can't be bothered?
Oh.
