Imagine that you are a politician or law enforcement official (but I repeat myself), whose job it is to protect criminals, lawbreakers. It doesn’t matter why you hold that seemingly illogical position; maybe you’re crazy, on the take from criminals, or have strong criminal tendencies yourself so protecting criminals is in your best interest. For this experiment, simply assume you do.

What gun control laws would you want to enforce to further the goal of safe workplaces for criminals?

Now take a look at this.

How many of your thug-protection schemes made it on that list.

Now ask yourself why?

… why, your neighborhood.

Biden administration squeezing suburbs out of existence with zoning laws
As part of his $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, the Biden administration is pushing local governments to allow apartment buildings in neighborhoods that are restricted to single-family homes. The administration claims it’s a way to ease a national affordable housing shortage and combat racial injustice in the housing market.

Current zoning laws that favor single-family homes, known as exclusionary zoning, have disproportionately hurt low-income people who can’t afford to move to the suburbs, the administration said. Their only choice is living in crowded apartment buildings. Biden’s proposal would incentivize local governments to get rid of exclusionary zoning by awarding grants and tax credits to cities that change their zoning regulations.

In fact, the zoning law changes — plans which go back to Obama Admin v1, and which Obama v2 is merely resurrecting — are to require multi-family housing, “crowded apartment buildings,” in suburbs.

Asked Congressnutjob Rashida Tlaib [MI-1].

Why, yes, I have. It’s an invented excuse to rationalize socialist cultural engineering, by way of forcing guilt and responsibility for something they have no responsibility for. It’s one of the latest excuses for imposing socialist government control of all industries by controlli g which businesses can even get funded, much less operate.

Feral packs, Chicago edition.

Large groups of teens are robbing people in Millennium and Grant Parks, police say
Groups of teenagers have surrounded and robbed victims in Grant and Millennium Parks twice since May 21, police said in a community alert Saturday. In both cases, the groups swarmed the victims and took their property by force, according to police.

And if you must be in those areas, bring a friend with more mags.

* That is: standard capacity.

Doorbell rang. I opened the door and some masked woman — sixtyish, short gray hair — handed me a plastic grocery bag with something in it and said, “Enjoy!” and walked back to a white minivan at the end of the driveway.

I opened the bag and there’s a small take-out style food tray; some kind of sandwich, peach slices, and a cookie.

I didn’t order anything.

Took it to my sister to see if she was expecting anything, or recognized the description. Nope.

I have no idea if this was some sort of misdelivered Uber Eats or meals on wheels or what.

I am not eating that.

Whoops.

US Army soldiers mistakenly raid Bulgarian olive oil factory during NATO exercise
U.S. soldiers assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade were conducting a simulation at the Cheshnegirovo airfield in South Central Bulgaria, McGraw said. They were moving from building to building to seize and secure each stop, and the team mistakenly believed the factory was located within the airfield, not adjacent to it.
[…]
Gaytandzhieva claimed that the owner of the factory has since filed a lawsuit.

If that happened around here… Well, there’s a reason the mil publicizes off-base exercises, and ask civilians to please not shoot.

Seen at Peter Grant’s funny memes of the day.

Wait… the camp stove…

Oh, the third one down on Peter’s page. You yankees should be aware that’s real.
