NYPD arrests good samaritan

On: By: admin

From 1010 WINS:

“Police arrested a 43-year-old man for a vigilante shooting at a Midtown subway station Wednesday. He allegedly opened fire when a homeless man threatened and tried to rob a woman on a platform … It all started when the 49-year-old homeless man threatened and tried to rob a 40-year-old as she walked through a gate onto the platform … During the altercation, a second man swooped in and fired a single shot from a handgun towards the would-be mugger …”

Put money on them trying to prosecute this guy.  I do believe a strong case for legal self-defense can be made, but they will go for him carrying in a “sensitive location”.  Can’t let the public think armed self-defense is a viable option.

Campaign kickoff stunt

On: By: admin

WXXI reports:

“A longtime local Democratic politician is running for a New York state Assembly seat. Willie Lightfoot Sr., who is currently in his 2nd term as a City Councilman at Large will run for Assembly in the 137th district. That’s the seat currently held by Democrat Demond Meeks … Lightfoot said that it is time “for us to come together to take back our city from the dangers that have plagued it.” Lightfoot has been active in anti-violence efforts, his campaign statement talked about his push to establish the Roc Against Gun Violence Coalition …”

Not surprised by this. I suspected he was up to something when he released his so-called “Gun Violence Action Plan” a few weeks back.

Rocah bows out

Good news for 2A supporters!

Westchester Co. D.A. Mimi Rocah will not seek re-election for a 2nd term next year.

She is a big time gun control supporter and her leaving is a blessing. It gives us a chance to get someone better in the office. Doesn’t have to be a pro-gun advocate, just someone who doesn’t misuse the office to promote their personal political agenda.
