Business as Usual in Meningrad

Stop me if you've heard this one before (as usual, the DHBA is in effect).

Thug slashes elderly woman, robs lottery winnings

An elderly woman trapped in the narrow entrance of her building was slashed in the gut by a robber who may have wanted her lottery winnings, police said.


Well, thank heavens this woman was unable to defend herself. We wouldn't want the violent criminal population in the city to suffer any decline now, would we? So, thanks to our dickless leaders and their anti-gun rights agenda, we now have a woman in the hospital recovering (thank God) from a stab wound and an armed, violent thug out roaming the streets, lying in wait for his next unarmed victim.

Fucking splendid.

"She was just saying she had been stabbed," the distraught woman said. "She had a towel around her stomach ... This is supposed to be a safe neighborhood." [emphasis mine]


Well, free people are supposed to be able to defend themselves from those who would seek to cause them harm. But, that hasn't stopped our "progressive" leaders from doing everything in their power to render that impossible.

Apparently, their solution involves handing over your money (or your car, your body, your children, etc.) at the first sign of trouble, taking your stabbing like a man, and to quit complaining about it. Now, shut up and get in line - we're the government and we're here to save you from yourselves.

Fuck that, thank you very much.
