On This Day In 1987, repub Politician Budd Dwyer Killed Himself On Live TV

An AP reporter was there to cover the story, and after it got reported, the AP switched to color photos for all it's stories.

Oh, and he was a true repub criminal. Before he put the bullet through his head, he professed his innocence, and how he was looking out for his family.

Since he died while still in office, he was going to be sentenced the next day, his wife was able to collect his full pension. He would have had to resign the next day, and then lost it. The evidence against him was overwhelming.

So I'm Watching On Patrol: Live

They're making a call to Daytona Beach, FL. Reports of yelling and fighting.

There's a Confederate Flag outside, and a confederate sign on the door. The guy's wearing a Gettysburg t-shirt, and they have a Pit Bull.

Trailer trash, without the trailer. They look like America's finest.

Lawyer: Gun Used By 6 Year Old To Shoot Teacher Was Secured

What kind of Bullshit is that? This must be some talented 6 year old, that he was able to access a secured firearm.

And apparently the kid had problems, and a parent was required to accompany him to school each day. But this week just happened to be the first one where a parent did not bring him to school. What a coincidence.

I hope the parents get charged, but our so-called "justice" system is such a joke, I'm not holding my breath.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The family of a 6-year-old boy who shot and wounded his teacher in Virginia said Thursday that the gun he used had been “secured" and that one of his parents usually accompanied him in class but did not the week the shooting occurred.

The family's statement was released by an attorney and did not elaborate further on where the 9mm handgun was kept. The family also was not identified.

“Our family has always been committed to responsible gun ownership and keeping firearms out of the reach of children,” the statement said. “The firearm our son accessed was secured.”

The family also said that the boy “suffers from an acute disability and was under a care plan at the school that included his mother or father attending school with him and accompanying him to class every day.”

The family said the week of the shooting “was the first week when we were not in class with him. We will regret our absence on this day for the rest of our lives.”

I Love Katie Porter & Will Support Her Senate Run, But Perhaps She Should Have Waited To Announce

I understand why she did it now. To start raising money, and get out in front of the pack that might develop if Feinstein does say she's not going to run again.

But she could have waited for Feinstein to do that. And also the timing looks bad with all the flooding and storms passing through lately and in the coming days.

Like I said, she probably wanted to get a jump on the other candidates who will enter the playing field if/when Feinstein makes a statement. This was likely planned long ago, irrespective of weather complications.

Morons Diamond & Silk In March 2020

Diamond and Silk Attribute Rise in Coronavirus Deaths to Media Wanting to Make Trump Look Bad

“In a matter of two weeks, over 1,000 people supposedly died from the coronavirus. In a two-weeks time period, over 1,000 people — after being tested positive — have died from the coronavirus, but it took 39 days, from January all the way up to February the 29th, I believe, for the first person to die,” said Silk.

“Come on,” agreed Diamond.

“Here’s another thing: My president said on March the 24th — Tuesday this past week — my president said that he would love for America to be back up and running,” Silk continued, referencing Trump’s comment that he wanted Americans back to work by Easter. (Trump has since extended social distancing guidelines through the end of April).

Diamond insisted she “knew this was going to happen,” and Silk proceeded to define what “this” was: “At the time he said it, there was 25,489 cases with 307 deaths. Instantaneously, you had the media calling President Trump out. He wanted open by Easter. He wanted this open by Easter. Me and you was talking. I said, ‘Now watch the number of deaths go up. Watch everything increase because they wanted to make it look bad in front of our eyes.'”
