Occupy protester steals furniture from neighbor to furnish protest camp
I’m very pleased this man has been charged with a felony, and has admitted to his crime. These stupid decisions – normally made by kids but in this case the perp is 32 years old – stay with you for life. Soon, he’ll be complaining he can’t get a fair shake in life because of…
Read MoreEmpowered: Women fight back against pharmacy robber demanding drugs
Feel good story of the day. A nut came back to rob a pharmacy looking for drugs for a third time. The store manager/pharmacist and employees were better prepared this time.

Read MoreBiden’s correlation between rape, murder, and Obama’s jobs bill
At the risk of “screwing” with the vice president, I’m going to call him out. He’s playing dirty politics using scare tactics and a curious use of statistics to again bolster the president’s job [killing] bill, while supporting the statist agenda. Consider this post part of my Symptom of the Disease series. Can you guess…
Read MoreSocial media: Basis for new criminal activity, or outlet for old?
Recently, there has been an upsurge of social media fueled uprisings across the globe. Depending on your perspective, they are either good (presumably the “Arab Spring”) or bad (the flash mob riots sweeping this and other countries).

Another tragedy for the victims of a violent act. Maksim Gelman allegedly used a knife to first kill his stepfather, then drove to an ex-girlfriends house where he killed her mother and the ex-girlfriend. He went on to kill two more and wound at least four others. I realize it’s a cliché now, but why isn’t Mayor Bloomberg calling…

Woburn, Mass. police officer Jack Maguire, 60, a married father, was killed in the line of duty on Sunday night.

Read MoreHuge spike in firearm sales results in … less crime
It’s certainly not what the Brady Campaign would proclaim, but the big increase in firearm sales between the summers of 2008 and 2009 does not seem to have increased the crime rate in the United States … especially since the violent crime rate dropped 4.4 percent during the first half of 2009.
Read MoreIn Virginia, mother who kills baby can not be charged
Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air calls this one of the worst stories of the year. A Virginia woman gave birth seven days ago and smothered her child within hours. Since the umbilical cord and placenta were still connected mother and child, a loophole in the law prevents the mother from being charged with murder.
Read MoreChicago Considers 500 Homicides per Year Acceptable
Can Chicago residents defend themselves? You’re welcome to run and hide, move out of the city, or just hope you don’t become a victim, but the city has basically banned handgun ownership and does not allow concealed carry permits. The state is a bit more lenient, but there is no state preemption of local laws.
