Notes From HPS
BY Herschel Smith8 years, 11 months ago
David Codrea – drinking tea, shopping at a gardening store is justification for a SWAT raid. How about being a black-robed Fascist like the asshole U.S. District Court Judge John W. Lungstrum? Then we could send the SWAT team after him. No, I’ve changed my mind. I don’t like SWAT teams. Hemp rope and lampposts will do just fine. Or tar and feathers. Sometimes I have such a hard time making my mind up.
Ha!
I also find it very disturbing that gun owners in North Liberty feel they have the right to carry their guns … [More]
I guess the irony of that statement doesn’t occur to her.
Mike Vanderboegh is commenting on the Harney County, Oregon standoff, here, here and here.
We’re not trying to shoot to kill. Um, why else would you shoot?
U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts
U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts urged trial judges on Thursday to manage cases more efficiently and advised lawyers to avoid “antagonistic tactics” … He suggested that lawyers often tried to wear down their opponents and implicitly advised against “antagonistic tactics, wasteful procedural maneuvers, and teetering brinkmanship.”
Oh good. With all of my confidence in the American judicial system, I was beginning to fear the overreach of lawyers in defending the rights of the accused. I’m glad the chief justice set us all straight.

Hemp rope that more than likely will test positive for THC based on field test kits. Thus, a cynical journalist (a real one, not a “journ-o-list”) could accurately report an incident as, “Federal judge’s body found among drug paraphernalia; tested positive for illicit substances.”
Heck, those field kits, according to the WaPo article, could produce a positive result — and a similar headline — for the tar and feathers.
