Media critic Mark Dice asks people to sign a petition to ban Muslims from buying pressure cookers in the wake of the Boston Bombing, and to implement a background check before anyone can purchase one.

In the Boston Bombing Case, 'Weapon of Mass Destruction' Is In the Eye of the (Government) Beholder
posted 04/23/2013, 7:28 AM (Reason) [Category: General] Even for those of us who think there's no hole too deep into which to drop somebody who bombs innocent people, the "weapon of mass destruction" charge brought against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev seems a bit of a stretch. Isn't "weapons of mass destruction" an awkward term meant to encompass killing devices designed to take out cities and armies? As it turns out, though, the term is a bit loose. It's not so loose as to apply to anything, but it comes pretty damned close.... (more)

posted 04/20/2013, 3:58 AM (InformationLiberation) [Category: General] The Boston police's door to door police state raids and total police state lock down turned out to be completely worthless, as predicted, as the last suspected bomber was caught thanks to a tip from a private citizen, also as predicted.

In their rush to release video of potential suspects, the FBI may have tripped up in their editing.

Police Search For Mugger For 3 Weeks, Internet Finds Him In An Hour
posted 04/15/2013, 5:41 AM (Techdirt) [Category: General] We've discussed before the ways law enforcement groups use social media. Frankly, the general theme tends to be that they aren't very good at internetting. Whether it's mocking invasive vaginal searches or catfishing music fans with well-tread tropes, it seems the wider internet plays the web game better than the LEOs. All t... (more)

Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) Friday introduced legislation that would end the enforcement of federal marijuana laws in states that have either legalized it or adopted medical marijuana laws. That would bring 18 medical marijuana states and two legalization states -- Colorado and Washington -- ut from under the shadow of the Controlled Substances Act when it comes to marijuana law reform.

When CPL Noel Guerin #3266 put out his hand to shake mine at the beginning of this video I was taken aback. Most of the time the only time cops approach us is to harass us or arrest us. CPL Guerin proves that not all cops act like jerks or freak out over cameras. Other cops in the Austin Police Department could learn a lot from this guy.
