What is wrong with America?

It is the principle of the thing, ya know? If a person is going to steal firewood, then by damn it, she is going to pay the price.

This is called anarchy. That is what is wrong with America. The guns on the street carry out their own justice.

Police believe a Waco woman missing since April (click here) was held at knifepoint in a confrontation over stolen wood before a woman she stole the wood with shot and killed her in Gatesville, arrest affidavits reveal.

Gatesville police listed Elizabeth Ann Romero, 44, as missing April 8, and she is presumed dead. Three Gatesville residents have been arrested in the case, and more arrests are expected soon, Coryell County authorities said.

Affidavits the Coryell County Sheriff’s Office released Thursday say that the chain of events started with a March 31 theft of wood from a Gatesville construction site, in which two women who look like Jessica Colleen Robinson, 34, and Romero used a pickup truck that looks like the one Jessica Robinson drove. Romero later told the owner of the wood she and Jessica Robinson had stolen it, according to the affidavits, which cite several witness statements....

Whatever happened to valuing human life?

Oh, wait. How silly of me.

Valuing human life is restricted to fetuses.

Of course, of course, women can't decide for themselves and they break the law and deserve to die for taking wood.

Of course. 

No different than a woman Vice President in Argentina has to die (click here). Right? Women are so disposable these days.

Ya want to know what abortion law in Texas is? Jihadist would be proud. The abortion law in Texas is inspired by Islam. Has to be.

...In Islam, (click here) and most religions, abortion is forbidden. Islam is considerably liberal concerning abortion, which is dependent on (i) the threat of harm to mothers, (ii) the status of the pregnancy before or after ensoulment (on the 120th day of gestation), and (iii) the presence of foetal anomalies that are incompatible with life. Considerable variation in religious edicts exists, but most Islamic scholars agree that the termination of a pregnancy for foetal anomalies is allowed before ensoulment, after which abortion becomes totally forbidden, even in the presence of foetal abnormalities; the exception being a risk to the mother’s life or confirmed intrauterine death....

I apologize.

Islam is MORE REASONABLE and inclusive of medical science than Texas!

I want a national "Sell Your Guns to Police Month!"

We had "Cash for Clunkers," now we need "Cash for Trading in Danger."

Red Flag Laws aren't cutting it.

Chicago is one of the nation’s gun violence hotspots (click here) and a seemingly ideal place to employ Illinois’ “red flag” law that allows police to step in and take firearms away from people who threaten to kill. But amid more than 8,500 shootings resulting in 1,800 deaths since 2020, the law was used there just four times.

It’s a pattern that’s played out in New Mexico, with nearly 600 gun homicides during that period and a mere eight uses of its red flag law. And in Massachusetts, with nearly 300 shooting homicides and just 12 uses of its law.

An Associated Press analysis found many U.S. states barely use the red flag laws touted as the most powerful tool to stop gun violence before it happens, a trend blamed on a lack of awareness of the laws and resistance by some authorities to enforce them even as shootings and gun deaths soar.

AP found such laws in 19 states and the District of Columbia were used to remove firearms from people 15,049 times since 2020, fewer than 10 per 100,000 adult residents. Experts called that woefully low and not nearly enough to make a dent in gun violence, considering the millions of firearms in circulation and countless potential warning signs law enforcement officers encounter from gun owners every day....

Police and prosecutors needs to meet to bring safety to communities. Police want their streets safer, use the Red Flag Laws. Selling firearms to police, does not allow anyone to go back out and purchase more. There has to be a stop placed in the data base after the sale.
