[B][SIZE=3]ROBBER BETS VICTIM DOESN'T HAVE GUN, VICTIM SHOOTS HIM[/SIZE][/B]

According to MS News Now, the suspect approached the man and feigned an interest in cigarettes. When the would-be victim said he didn't have any cigarettes, the suspect "began to walk away, turned and said, 'betcha ain't got one of these,' pointing a gun at the [would-be] victim."
However, the would-be victim was carrying a gun for self-defense and he responded to the threat by shooting the suspect in the chest.

Impossible. I am repeatedly assured by gun control proponents that a gun is not useful for self-defense when assaulted by an armed aggressor because by the time you know what's happening they already have the drop on you.

Of course, the people who insist on believing that never take into account the fact that petty criminals are generally morons who don't have the first clue how to use the weapons they're carrying, and are just counting on their victims being unarmed, helpless and compliant. Oops.

On the Waco shooting:

[B]Rolling Stone[/B]:Can you shed some light about what happened outside the bar, Papa Joe's Saloon, in 2007?

[B]BJS[/B]:Actually, that song "Wacko from Waco" pretty much tells it. He fired on me before I fired on him. That never even came up in the trial. But you can go back and listen in the script and tell it, because there's people inside, every one of them thought it was firecrackers. You need more than one shot, and [B]I only shot once, just a little old .22 and that was it. He had some other kind of gun. I don't know what it was, but he shot at me three times, and I thought, "Well I better do something[/B]."

[B]Rolling Stone[/B]At the trial, the state made the case that you were actually provoked because the man you shot was stirring his drink with a knife in a menacing way.

[B]BJS[/B]:Well that's all they had to work with. They couldn't find the gun, so it was just as well doing that. He knew I was innocent.

[B]Looney Tunes Cartoons May Have Been More Brutal Than You Remember[/B]

The website referenced:



[I]I made a video yesterday that went viral (hits in the low three digits instead of the usual two) and I got all these suggestions so I expanded on it.

I was originally going to call it Ernest Hemingway’s Favorite Videos but his family would see it in a YouTube search so I thought it best not to incur their wrath. I put “guns” in the tags so it will show up in searches and gun nuts will either be pissed off or think I’m one of them.

[B]The Weft Should Wove Wooney Tunes[/B]

An excerpt:

[I]That’s an interesting idea,” the editor sometimes says to the writer at the water cooler. The editor’s just trying to dump out the cold coffee and get back to the office without too much trouble, but there’s the writer, nattering on about something he realized over lunch, and it could be a thing, you know? It’s not a big thing but everyone was like talking about people who have guns, and somehow it turned to cartoons, so, we all grew up watching Daffy Duck getting shot, in the head, and this was like normal? Isn’t that just wrong?

“Take a crack at it,” the editor says. Those coffee stains in the mug. They never come out. Why is that? They come out at home. Of course, you got a sponge at home. You’d never trust an office sponge.

So the writer takes a crack at it, and tries to recapture the lunchtime conversation, but in the end realizes that horrible fact: You had to be there. But maybe there’s something bigger here than cartoon violence. Maybe everything is different now. Could it be? Because that would be exciting...

Yes — if you’ve had your sense of humor surgically removed, and replaced with an oversized gland that produces chemicals responsible for compulsive frowning. Otherwise you might continue to find them strangely funny, oddly funny, audaciously funny, or perhaps just hilarious. There are still some, I hope, who can smile at the sight of Daffy’s beak blown clear around to the other side of his head after Fudd loosed a blunderbuss blast. There is no pain involved; only irritation and annoyance. He readjusts his beak with an audible squeaking sound, and stomps off to yell at Bugs, instigator of the incident.

But that very episode — “Duck! Rabbit, Duck!” — contains messages that should hearten the heart of a Slate writer, for it contains a very modern message about identity. As you may recall, the plot concerns Fudd’s confusion over which season it is: Wabbit, or Duck? The signage is confusing. Daffy self-identifies as a duck, and this being the ’40s, he is locked in a fixed identity, a product of a culture that says if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it is a duck. But as we now know, “species” is as fluid as any other form of identity.

And that’s something Bugs reveals in a very subversive sequence. Daffy uses colloquial expressions to describe his mood, noting that he feels like a goat. Whereupon Bugs produces a sign that says it is Goat Season. Fudd unloads accordingly. It may look like violence. But it’s really acceptance. If Daffy says he is a goat then he is a goat. He may suffer the consequences, but Fudd has affirmed his statement of identity. Over the course of the cartoon Daffy identifies with various species, and in each instance Bugs has an appropriate placard to nudge Fudd toward accepting the fluid spectrum on which Daffy may choose to locate himself.

Half a century before Facebook’s 57 genders, Warner Brothers was laying the groundwork...[/I]
