UPDATE: Long Past Time To End SWAT Night-time Raids

Posted on May 22, 2011 | Leave a comment

And no-knocks.

See if you believe this story out of Tucson. And note that after the ambulance shows up, the police keep them from working on the veteran (that they shot 60 times) for an hour.

This is insane. There is no justification for this.

Be sure to let the video keep playing, there’s more similar stories.

UPDATE: Here’s more of a followup. I believe I agree with this assessment:

Only, Guereña never fired his weapon. Awoken by his wife with screams that men with guns were invading his home and threatening his family, Jose Guereña armed himself with a AR-15 rifle and crouched in the hallway. The SWAT team unloaded upon Guereña on sight. He apparently recognized the home invaders as police. He took 60 rounds, but never — as the Pima County Sheriff’s Department was forced to admit — took off his weapon’s safety as he was being killed

Gun Control Under the Radar

According to the Greeley Gazette, that’s what the POTUS said to Sarah Brady.

Executive orders have to be stricken and disallowed in all future Presidential terms. No good is coming from them.

Orbitz Standing Tall

So much for (cough) Media Matters (does it really?) trying to coerce advertisers away from Fox News Channel.

Mediaite tells us what Orbitz told MM. Remember that name. They matter.

I’ll remember this when I make travel plans.

Withdraw

Not from the checking account.

From Libya, POTUS. Your 60 days were up. Yesterday.

Oh. A reminder. We got Bin Laden. We can leave Afghanistan now also.

Otherwise, you’re just spending money we don’t have to – just spend money. That we don’t have.

Conflicted

Yeah, Allahpundit hits a nerve (or more), I expect.

I think everyone should wake up and pay very close attention to the dealings up to and likely within the SCOTUS concerning any and all references/relationships of recent appointee Ms. Kagan with the Obamacare legislation.

Is her reputation at stake?

Ahem, as much as our own financial future? (Oh, forget all those waivers. Even the recent one where Nevada itself won’t have to worry about complying with Obamacare. If, that is, it isn’t terminated.)

You know, all those – waivers – are supposed to be relieving thosee that can’t afford Obamacare’s conscription.

Hmm. Anybody remember why all this started? Seems to me there was something about 47M, then 30M, people that couldn’t or wouldn’t pay for health insurance.

What are the waivers for again?

Too Rich

According to Russ Feingold, former U.S. Senator (D-WI) of McCain-Feingold campaign reform infamy (let’s not forget that one, right?), has pointed out three politicians for “shame” due to being beholden to corporate interests.

I’ll let you find out who in the article from The Hill. But one of them is from Maryland, another from Connecticut and the other in the “Show Me” state of Missouri.

Imagine my surprise.
