Ban Knives Damnit!!!

Let's see, we're up to about 10 murders already, none committed by rifles or so-called "assault weapons," but look here at a disturbing trend politicians refuse to address:
  • A 25-year-old woman was arrested early Sunday, suspected of fatally stabbing her mother during a domestic dispute in the South Chicago neighborhood.
    Authorities found the 55-year-old mother had been stabbed multiple times when they responded to her home in the 8300 block of South Kingston Avenue about 6:45 p.m. Saturday night, authorities said.

  • Chicago police were conducting homicide investigations after a man died a day after being stabbed during a fight and a 19-year-old man was fatally shot this evening on the South Side.
That's right - fully 20% of Chicago homicides have been committed with cutlery this year! And yet, Eddie Acevedo and his ilk continue their wrong headed war on "assault rifles." We can only assume they are being provided with political donations from Ginsu and their affiliated organizations. This would be an interesting series of articles for any media type - that is media types who aren't panty wearing sissies who actually dislike the taste of Rahm-ass noodles and can form an opinion based on facts and report the same thing.

Journal News Reporters Told They'll Be Shot Walking to Their Cars

After it published a map of handgun owners in two suburban New York counties, the Journal News may be the nation's most terrifying place to work as threats have been coming in against employees at every level, many of whom had nothing to do with the controversial feature.

Threatening notes and harassment have targeted everyone from Gracia C. Martore, the CEO of the Journal News's parent company Gannett, all the way down to the part-timers who write "wedding anniversary and church potluck announcements," staffers told The New York Times. It's the first account of the specific threats coming into the paper, other than the Journal News's own reporting on the two envelopes full of white powder that have been mailed to the office. When the paper hired armed security guards last week, an editor told police it had received "a large amount of negative correspondence."

What an understatement that turns out to be.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/01/almost-everyone-at-journal-news-getting-threats.html

The newspaper is loving all that attention. They don't care who they put in jeopardy cause man oh man look at all those clicks on that map they posted. People need to settle down.

Truth is stranger than fiction...

BRITISH DOCTORS CALLING FOR KNIFE BAN TO PREVENT IMPULSIVE STABBINGS

December 30, 2012

"British doctors are calling for a ban on kitchen knives to prevent stabbing incidents. A West Middlesex University Hospital group contends that violent crime is increasing in Great Britain and kitchen knives are used in approximately half of all stabbings. The team claims that many of the knife attacks are impulsive acts and that a kitchen knife is too convenient of a weapon.

"The British medical team discussed the kitchen knife stabbing problem with a group of 10 renowned chefs, according to Front Page Mag. The United Kingdom chefs reportedly noted that kitchen knives have little practical application in culinary endeavors. Apparently, the cooking experts feel that a short blade works just as well as a long one when a sharp tip is needed.

"If the movement to ban kitchen knives in the United Kingdom is successful, the law will be the country’s second major attempt to thwart violence by passing new legislation. After experiencing mass shootings during the 1980s and 1990s, Great Britain instituted very strict gun laws to curtail violence.

"Laws on the books since the 1920s already mandated that any citizen wishing to own a firearm had to get permission from the local police station noting the individual was “fit” to own a gun and that a good reason existed for the weapon possession.

"Since 1969 self-defense was not a good enough reason to garner a gun ownership certificate, according to the Wall Street Journal. After a mass shooting in the town of Hungerford where 16 people were killed semiautomatic rifles were banned and shotguns were subjected to the same laws as rifles and pistols. As a result of a mass shooting in the Scottish town of Dunblane, the Firearms Act of 1998 was put into place. Pistol owners were required to turn their weapons in, or face 10 years in prison.

"The British gun ban has done little to decrease violence, according to Wall Street Journal statistics. A 2010 mass shooting took the lives of 12 people, leaving another 11 injured."

"Britons suffer 1,158,957 violent crimes per year, which works out at 2,034 per 100,000 residents. The U.S., meanwhile, has a rate of 466 crimes per 100,000 residents, which is lower than France’s, at 504

"Instead of gun crime, the UK worries about knife crime. And has been practicing knife control.

"The UK outlawed the switchblade and gravity knife in 1959.

"In 1988 possession of a pocket knife with a blade larger than 3 inches in public became illegal.

"In 1996, it became illegal to sell a razor blade to anyone under the age of 16.

"In 2007, you needed a license to be able to sell “non-domestic knives.”

"Despite all that knifepoint robberies rose by 10 percent this year and there are some 60,000 stabbings each year. So the push is on to outlaw long kitchen knives.

"Once that’s done, surely utopia will be at hand."

You really want to save lives and do something for "The Children"?
BAN CARS!

Cars kill more people a year than guns ever will!
It ought to be easy, there’s no Constitutional Amendment protecting our ability to own one or use one.
Think about it, no more DUI’s, no more people getting launched because of no seat belts, no more children getting run over, no more texting and driving accidents that could have been avoided.

I can’t think of one good reason why ANYONE would need a car that goes from 0 – 60 in under 4 seconds! That’s like an “Assault Motor”!

No more needless deaths, no more needless accidents or injuries, no more un-insured motorists.

Let’s face it; if you outlaw cars, then only the outlaws will have cars. And a car is WAY easier to spot than a gun!

Eddie Acevedo is all about Eddie Acevedo.

Look at what he's done. He has made himself a newspaper headline. Oh, sure, we here on SCC are calling him all sorts of names and shit, but we aren't his constituents and we aren't even registered to vote (many of us, allegedly).

The quote, 'THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS BAD PUBLICITY' is often associated with Phineas T. Barnum, the 19th century American showman and circus owner. Barnum was a self-publicist of the first order and never missed an opportunity to present his wares to the public.

From the US newspaper The Atlanta Constitution, January, 1915:

All publicity is good if it is intelligent.

The thought behind the proverb had been expressed earlier by Oscar Wilde:

The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

Attention getters and self promoting politicians have understood for decades that stupid voters quickly forget WHY they remember someone's name... the important thing is that they DO remember their name.

But, on a lighter note:

Murder in Britain carries LIFE WITHOUT because their thinking if Murder is NOT reversible.

Armed (knife or other deadly weapon) robbery is because they are BROKE as we will be soon.

Is it working for them? Not!

Try Sweden or Switzerland where every able bodied citizen has a fully automatic weapon and a uniform in the closet.

The "assault weapons" ban has nothing to do with reducing violent crime. Government has been corrupted by greed and self-dealing. The Second Amendment is all that stands in the way of our being enslaved by the elitist power structure.

The numbers climb from there. Did state representative David Harris, a Republican from Arlington Heights, really need a $6,152 Segway electric scooter for campaign work? (Yes, he says: “I wanted to draw attention to myself and, second, meet all the voters I could.”) Is every dollar of the $912,782 that Michael Madigan has spent on Cubs ($456,027), White Sox ($305,116), Bulls ($143,155), and Notre Dame football ($8,484) tickets since the start of 2007 really part of his election effort? (Says Madigan’s spokesperson, “He sees [the tickets] as a way to encourage people to be active in political campaigns,” adding that when Madigan uses the tickets himself, he always reimburses his campaign.)

and yet another way to kill...


Urooj Khan had sworn off playing the lottery after he took an Islamic pilgrimage to the Middle East in 2010, but as he stood in a 7-Eleven near his home on Chicago's Far North Side this summer, he lost his will for a moment, handing over $60 to buy two instant-game tickets.

After scratching off the second ticket, he leaped in the air, shouting over and over again, "I hit a million!"

When Khan, 46, accepted an oversized check from Illinois Lottery representatives days later at the same store with his wife and teenage daughter at his side, he spoke excitedly of how the winnings would help him grow his dry-cleaning business.

Instead, Khan is dead, a victim of an extraordinary poisoning, and police have a mystery on their hands: Did his lottery winnings create a motive for murder?

The month after winning the million dollars, Khan died unexpectedly on July 20. Finding no trauma to his body and no unusual substances such as cocaine or carbon monoxide in his blood, the Cook County medical examiner's office declared his death to be from natural causes. He was buried at Rosehill Cemetery.

But the Tribune has learned that Chicago police and county prosecutors are investigating Khan's death as a homicide.

In an interview, Medical Examiner Stephen J. Cina said that within a week of Khan's death a concerned relative asked his office to take a closer look at the case.

By early December, the medical examiner's office determined from comprehensive toxicology tests that Khan had died of a lethal amount of cyanide.

Now authorities are considering exhuming his body to try to find out how much cyanide he ingested or inhaled, Cina disclosed.

While a motive has not been determined yet, police haven't ruled out that Khan was killed because of his big lottery win, a law enforcement source said.

The gun control debate, like all debates with the left, is reducible to the question of whether we are individuals who make our own decisions or a great squishy social mass that helplessly responds to stimuli. Do people kill with guns or does the availability of guns kill people? Do bad eating habits kill people or does the availability of junk food kill people?

We gunnies want to put police in the schools to protect the children from affluent, coddled aberrations like Laurie Wasserman Dann and Adam Lanza -- who was 20 years old, by the way.

Goofy "emo"-looking loser. Mama's precious baby screwball -- with range training from Mama, with the combination to Mama's elaborate gun safe.

Mama got a big surprise, huh?

No amount of "background checks" and "mental health screening" will prevent people from maintaining their insane offspring in a spare room. Didn't Laurie Wasserman buy her .357 off a Mommy-subsidized credit card?

It's the antis who always frolic in the blood, demanding the passage of laws before anyone even knows what really happened.

All I know is that I keep seeing these carbon-copy "Manchurian candidate" loner-shooters appearing, killing, then usually conveniently suiciding -- every time there's a new gun law in the works.

After watching this show for longer than many have even been alive, I find it to be entirely suspicious.

Hi there, I'm a British reader of this blog & concede we do have huge problems with knives. Being threatened with a knife is standard practice during confrontations across the full gamut of severity. It's become normal amongst youth to carry because "everyone else has one". I've done it myself.

Having been to Chicago last Sept I had the distinct feeling that things were somewhat more racially driven as mentioned by another post above. Here it is class, working class versus "little rich boys". Regardless, the same mindless violence is present, the smaller presence of firearms means more stabbings, lots of bottling going on as well, we've had to make drinks in clubs served in plastic cups now. In today's news it seems the new problem is stun guns being imported & somehow making it through customs. In some ways, the less 'severe' the weapon, the more common attacks become. When you know you're not going to kill someone when you stab them in the side for their phone, it's easier. Can see the headlines of people being stun gunned on buses for a laugh. If people want to use violent means they'll use the weapon most readily available. I don't profess to know the solution, I'm 21 for a start, but my peers are desensitized, better parenting & education would be a start.

Been neck-deep in "gun control" for at least 30 years straight -- one lesson I've learned is not to waste time drawing "ban cars, ban hands, ban pillowcases" analogies. NO ONE IS LISTENING -- THEY WANT YOUR GUNS.

Identify them. Stop them. Everything else is just noise.

Tactical Barbie works in public relations for Motorola selling tech stuff to government agencies. She's also a part time suburban copper. She is however still a highly trained PlayStation Modern Warfare warrior. She's made through every game at the expert level. Back in the Nam we would have called her a lethal weapon and sent her into Laos to shoot a guy from a thousand yards in high wind. Maybe 8 or 10 gamers/administrative aides in world could have made that shot.

Something disturbing flashed on the news today...

A guy dies after winning the lottery.

cause is unknown.

autopsy done.

person buried.

Someone speaks up that he was poisoned!!!!

Morgue then runs test after the fact!

SO does that mean that all those strange deaths with no cause get classified as natural death?

The tox screens are only looking for narcotics not poison?

And i thought Comptstat was evil...

OT: Barefoot man given boots by NYPD officer not homeless
by Natalie DiBlasio, USA TODAY

Published: 12/04/2012 09:32pm

"We continue to reach out to him, and we have had contact in the last few weeks," Diamond says. "Sometimes he appears to be receptive and other times less so. We never give up."

Since recognizing Hillman in the media, his high school class of 1976 from South Plainfield, N.J., has rallied for him.

More than 200 South Plainfield classmates gathered to organize the Jeffrey Hillman Survival Fund on Facebook.

"I'm very worried about him, considering that you realize he does have an apartment," says classmate Ellen Shapiro DeMaio. "The point is that he's lost. We have to somehow as a class -- since we're a family and he's still one of us -- be able to reach him and give him a helping hand up if we can. That's our main concern."

Hillman is back on the streets with no shoes.

A few days after the viral photo was posted, The New York Times found Hillman barefoot again and asked about the $100 all-weather boots. Hillman said he'd hidden them because "they are worth a lot of money."

He said he's grateful for the gift, but he wants "a piece of the pie" because the photo was posted online "without permission." Looks like hes suing!

-----------------------------------

I'm not coming on here to bash or make fun of anyone, but this is a complete joke. To say she was ever SWAT or anything even close is comical. How does CPD allow her to misrepresent herself? How does the Outdoor Channel put a show on without doing a fact or background check.

It's a HUGE insult to every officer that is on SWAT or has ever been on SWAT and it's an insult to every hard working officer that is a member of CPD.

She should be embarrassed and ashamed but apparently it's more important for her to get her name and face out there in the hope that she gets to star in a B rated movie someday.

It's a disgrace to portray oneself as an expert of something she clearly has no knowledge about.

It's one thing to shoot at paper targets and kick in doors in practice and play tactical games all day and promote yourself with short shorts, lots of makeup and your hair coiffed and lipstick bullets. It's another to actually be that SWAT or tact team member to kick in the real door with the real bad guy behind it waiting to shoot you.

She obviously was overeducated and overthought for this job as many of the newer hires of the past ten years. But, she has used the department in her advantage to get out of here as many of us would like to do. It is the manner that she did it that is highly disappointing. She needs to remeber she wasn't swat, hbt, or tac. Just part of that total revenue unit.

These weapon's are singled fired weapons so if they place that law en place they basically just pushing a law that has languages to have wiggle room. A true Assault rifle is a fully automatic weapon system has nothing to do if there is a 10 20 or 30 round clip or a drum for that. So a common citizen can still buy a rifle that we use on patrol. We as police can not buy assault rifles in Illinois legally unless we have a class 3 fire arms license or ffl for those types. Or is an operator on a swat team.These politician don't know shit on firea'srms or guns! lol

I had a very liberal attorney tell me that blacks and whites commit crime on an even percentage. The only reason blacks are arrested at a higher rate is black communities are " over policed".With more of this very clear and progressive thinking I see progress in the very near future to solving the crime problem.

Manuel Acevedo had been a Chicago police officer for about 20 years. In 1999 the city paid $15.5 million to settle a federal lawsuit filed by the family of a paralyzed man against Acevedo and his partner. A jury found that the partner used excessive force against the man, and that the pair failed to give the victim medical assistance.
