Merry Christmas!

by Filed Under: Crime, Human Depravity, In Memoriam -- Remembering our Heros, Officer Down, Podcasts, Violent Criminals

  [powerpress] May you and your family have a blessed and happy Christmas! That said, while I would love to be nothing but sweetness and light in the days leading up to Christmas, I must admit that’s a little difficult given the happenings of the past week or so. First, of course, is the tragedy in Newtown, CT, where 20 little gifts from God … [Read more...]

Ian Thomson’s attempted murderers sentenced today… but not for the charge of attempted murder

by Filed Under: Podcasts, Self-Defense, Violent Criminals

  [powerpress] In the early morning hours of August 22, 2010, Ian Thomson's home was attacked by four men screaming that they were going to kill him. They tossed Molotov cocktails at his home and dog kennel and did not back off until Ian Thomson grabbed one of his legally-owned pistols and fired a couple of warning shots over their heads. Then, … [Read more...]

Sometimes would-be robbers get just what they deserve

by Filed Under: Self-Defense, Violent Criminals

Gatineau, Quebec store owner Zhen Yang and his wife did what they had to do when two masked thugs tried to rob them:  They fought back. But it's how they fought that I found so inspiring.  After pepper-spraying one of the thieves in the face with bear spray, Yang heaved the young thug onto the counter and then spanked him twice before his wife kicked the jerk in the head a … [Read more...]

Reverse Onus clause violates the Constitutional Rights of Violent Offenders, but is okay for law-abiding gun owners?

by Filed Under: Constitutional Violations, Violent Criminals

Gotta love this country, where up is down and left is right. Only in a nation that has completely abandoned rational thought and critical thinking could dangerous offenders have more rights than law-abiding gun owners.  That this judgement  comes out of the Ontario court system should surprise nobody. Ontario Superior Court Judge Alan Bryant ruled that reverse onus for … [Read more...]

Nova Scotia provincial Judge Gregory Lenehan stupidly joins the “ban camp”

by Filed Under: Justice Denied, Violent Criminals

Anything that might possibly be used as a weapon should just be banned.  That’s the flawed logic of left-wing idiots like Toronto city councilor Adam Vaughan and now, apparently, Nova Scotia Provincial Court Judge Gregory Lenehan. It’s just so much easier to ban a physical item than do something about the moron using something as a weapon, isn’t it?  After all, this is … [Read more...]

Another Gun Registry Success!

by Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Gun Politics, Gun Registration, Violent Criminals

Yes, it’s another gun registry success in La Belle Provence early Sunday morning as two unknown gunmen traded shots across a crowded intersection of Prince Arthur and Saint-Dominique streets on Montreal’s Plateau. Thank God we have registered handguns since 1934 here in Canada… and I also thank God that we’ve required every individual who owns a handgun in Canada to have an … [Read more...]

MP Parm Gill’s stand against gang recruitment with Private Members Bill C-394

by Filed Under: Violent Criminals

Conservative MP Parm Gill doesn’t like criminal gangs invading his riding of Brampton-Springdale (in Ontario) and is taking steps to make recruiting gang members a crime punishable by 5 years in prison. He has introduced a private members bill, Bill C-394, to amend the Criminal Code and the National Defence Act to help reduce the problem. The bill’s summary reads: This … [Read more...]

Proof Handgun Registration Works! Toronto Teen robs store with loaded handgun

by Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Firearm Prohibition Orders, Gun Registration, Politically Correct Madness, Violent Criminals

Yes, the title is sarcastic.  The handgun registry is every bit as useless as the long gun registry, something this teen armed robber proves for me. This is the second time Canada has dropped long gun registration.  Most people choose to forget that we tried this stupidity once before and finally dropped it when law-abiding Canadians refused to register their rifles and … [Read more...]

Canada’s useless “Gun Control” system fails again, almost gets cop killed

by Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Violent Criminals

The many failures of Canada’s “gun control” scheme are well known to anyone willing to actually look at the facts.  For those unwilling to do so, however, no amount of proof that the system doesn’t work will ever be enough. The latest proof of the uselessness and dangerousness of the current gun control scheme comes from Kamloops, British Columbia, where a convicted drug … [Read more...]

We won’t track violent career criminals like Joseph Endelle Chan, but we’ll harass law-abiding Canadian gun owners?

by Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Violent Criminals

The law is an ass is the famous statement, although I can't remember who by at the moment.  This truly is the case when it comes to Canada's laws on firearms and the stupid 2-billion dollar "gun control" scheme that can't keep guns out of the hands of  the likes of Joseph Endelle Chan. Joseph Chan has a very long criminal record that includes 25 previous criminal … [Read more...]

RCMP announce a high-risk Sex Offender Andrew Aurie Jefferson is now living in Mission, BC

by Filed Under: Violent Criminals

Kelowna’s loss is Mission’s gain, if you can call it that. Andrew Aurie Jefferson, known as the Falconridge rapist for a series of rapes he committed in Calgary in 2006, was released from prison on November 10, 2011 and will be living in the Mission, BC area. Originally thought to be living in Kelowna upon his release, RCMP informed Mission officials of the change in … [Read more...]

Keith Gregory Wiens: Another BC Justice System Outrage

by Filed Under: Human Depravity, Judicial Corruption, RCMP Accountability, Violent Criminals

There's nothing more heinous than a man murdering his wife, and nothing outrages the public more than releasing that [alleged] murderer on bail, apparently just because he's an ex-RCMP member. I've written alot about the double-standard for treatment of [alleged] criminals and ex-RCMP Corporal Keith Wiens is yet another stunning example of why British Columbia needs to get … [Read more...]

News that Clifford Olson is nearly dead almost brought tears to my eyes…

by Filed Under: Violent Criminals

When I heard the news that Clifford Olson is nearly dead it almost brought tears to my eyes... It's true! Sure, they were tears of joy, but they were tears nonetheless. If the news reports are to be believed Clifford Olson, arguably Canada's most notorious serial killer, will soon be dead from cancer. Is it a sin to say that it couldn't happen to a more worthy … [Read more...]

Dialing 9-1-1 will not save your life… it’s sad but true

by Filed Under: Dial 9-1-1 and Die, Violent Criminals

The majority of Canadians believe the police are there to protect them.  It's a lie promoted incessantly by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and other political organizations that want a monopoly on the use of force in Canada. What's the first thing you hear from police spokes-ninnies when someone has the audacity to defend themselves against a violent … [Read more...]

Canada’s Firearms Act is as effective as ever… which means not at all.

by Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Violent Criminals

Canada' Firearms Act keeps Canadians safe from gun violence.  That's what the head of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) will have you believe, anyway.   It's a load of Public Relations garbage, but they keep saying it. Let's take an example from news headlines to illustrate how useless the Firearms Act truly is.  Off to Winnipeg, where flooding has the city … [Read more...]

Home Invasion a Warning to all Gun Owners

by Filed Under: Violent Criminals

On Tuesday, February 22nd, a firearm collector in Ogden, AB opened his door to the wrong people.  The two men, identities hidden behind masks and sunglasses, pulled a gun on the man and demanded access to his gun safe. Clearly they knew who he was and what types of firearms he owned.  That they were willing to do an armed home invasion in the middle of the day shows their … [Read more...]

Innocent People Pay when stupid people get guns

by Filed Under: Stupid Human Tricks, Violent Criminals

There is nothing more tragic and horrifying than when a child gets killed by some idiot, with or without a gun. And it's one thing when the moron is just bat-shit crazy, like in Arizona recently. It's entirely another when it's because some asshole gang member thinks he's being cool, and fires his stolen handgun into a crowd of young girls. That's exactly what happened in … [Read more...]

Sex Offender found dead

by Filed Under: Violent Criminals

Wish I could say I'm sorry, but I'm not. Police say that foul play is not suspected.  Okay... You see, I'm one of those people who believe there's a special place in Hell for people who rape women or children. Dale Koenders is there right now.  Pity... Police say a body found nearly two weeks ago near Progress Way is that of a convicted sex offender who walked … [Read more...]

Entire Police Force Quits in Mexican Town

by Filed Under: Violent Criminals

Whatever you want to say about our system of justice, at least we don't have gangs openly attacking police stations in this country. (yet) The entire police force of the small town in northeastern Mexico quit on Tuesday, a day after gunmen attacked their headquarters. Los Ramones Mayor Santos Salinas said 14 members of the police force told him they quit on Tuesday morning. … [Read more...]

We ain’t got no Saturday Night Specials!

by Filed Under: Violent Criminals

And it's a good thing too...  Can you imagine?  Someone with small hands actually being able to handle a firearm effectively and safely? Better to have small handguns in the hands of thugs and drug dealers on the streets of Toronto, don't you agree?  After all, the only people that can have them since we passed the stupid Firearms Act back in 1995 is drug dealers and … [Read more...]

Armed Robbery – just another day at the office…

Except this time Drayton Valley RCMP knew who he was and issued a warrant for his arrest. A Drayton Valley teen is facing six charges in connection with an armed robbery. A 32-year-old woman was making a night deposit at a Drayton Valley bank around 10 p.m. Wednesday, when she was robbed by a masked man with a handgun, police said. The man fled with an undisclosed … [Read more...]

Handgun Registration Works! (or not…)

by Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Violent Criminals

Handguns have been registered in Canada since 1934.  You can't even buy one legally without jumping through all sorts of bureaucratic hoops, and when that's all done, you've got to apply for a Authorization to Transport just to take the thing to the range to shoot at a paper target. Unless you're a criminal, of course.  Then none of this hassle applies, as is clearly shown … [Read more...]

The Uselessness of Gun Registry Shown Again

by Filed Under: Violent Criminals

this time in Downtown Toronto, where two streets of the city had bullet shell casings littering the ground.  Police found a total of 11 shell casings, calibres not identified, on Cather Cr. and Flemington Road. It seems the gang members doing the shooting didn't realize their pistols had to be registered, and they should have asked permission (aka Authorization to Transport … [Read more...]

Canada’s (In)Effective Gun Laws

In yet another stunning example of the ineptness of Canada's Firearms Act comes a news report out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. 20-year-old Jeremy Kyle St. Germain was arrested on August 7th, after managing to get himself shot. Jeremy is a career criminal with a firearms prohibition order in place. Despite his violent criminal past, police do not check up on him, his home is not … [Read more...]

Government Soldiers Murder More Citizens

by Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Violent Criminals

Whenever anyone says that guns in the hands of civilians are a problem, I wonder if they live very sheltered lives.  Here in North America we truly do exist in a vacuum.  We think that the world's problems cannot reach us, despite 9/11 and other atrocities proving that head-in-the-sand attitude quite wrong. In Columbia some kids were getting sick from the drinking water.  … [Read more...]

CCTV Cameras: the answer to murder?

by Filed Under: Big Brother, Violent Criminals

Toronto has its share of shootings, murders, and violent crime.  Like most major cities in North America it wants to ban handguns.  And install more surveillance video cameras.  Especially after one caught a murder as it happened. Yes, it's a very disturbing video.  No question. One man murdered, the other wounded and in hospital.  Not good, by any standard. Toronto … [Read more...]

If only there was ONE MORE LAW!!!

by Filed Under: Political Antics, Violent Criminals

Apparently nobody told the current government that shooting up the streets as you're driving around on a Saturday night was illegal.  Or that the crime of murder already had tons of laws on the books against it.  And that they need to "expand the definition" of "serious crimes".  Where's my darned barf bucket? What I find truly amusing about the latest "crackdown on crime" … [Read more...]

Britain’s Handgun Ban Fails Again

Incompetent Prison Officials Release Violent Offenders

by Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence, Violent Criminals

And then they did their best to ensure nobody would ever find out about it. That's called deceit.  Intentional, calculated, reprehensible deceit.  There's an old rule for living that has been forgotten. When you make a mistake, admit it. Nobody likes making mistakes. Nobody wakes up in the morning and says to themselves or their loved ones, "I think I'll go screw up … [Read more...]
