Syria demands U.S. apology for fatal raid

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syria’s deputy foreign minister says Damascus wants an American apology and compensation for a U.S. commando raid near Iraq’s border that killed eight.

Faisal Mekdad also rejects U.S. reports that Sunday’s raid killed a top al-Qaeda in Iraq operative called Abu Ghadiyah who intelligence suggests was about to conduct an attack in Iraq.

Mekdad said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press that all the victims were Syrian civilians and that Damascus does not know the whereabouts of the wanted Iraqi.

He added that the search for Abu Ghadiyah by Syrian and foreign intelligence agencies should continue.

Syria’s government has ordered an American community school and cultural center closed in retaliation.

And then there was THIS numbnutz:

There are moonbats and America hating dipsticks everywhere I guess but I DO have a personal message for Revolutionist08 though, you can sit on it too you IDIOT!!

And out of curiosity, WHY do we have an American community school and cultural center in Syria anyway??

Watauga homeowner stabbed, shot with own gun during robbery

A Watauga homeowner was stabbed several times and shot once with his own gun during a robbery early this morning, police said.

The incident occurred in the 6000 block of Sundown Drive in Watauga about 10 miles northeast of Fort Worth.

According to Watauga police, a man heard someone trying to break into a trailer parked in his driveway around 3:30 a.m.

Armed with a shotgun, the man confronted the intruder who stabbed him several times. The gun went off during the scuffle, and the homeowner was shot in the arm.

A neighbor who came to the help the homeowner was also stabbed multiple times, police said.

Watauga homeowner stabbed, shot with own gun during robbery

It is often said, “Never take a knife to a gunfight”, so pay attention to this and try to figure out HOW in the hell a home owner that was armed with a shotgun got shot with his own gun and the neighbor got stabbed…

Home owner had a shotgun… Bad guy had a knife… Homeowner gets stabbed AND shot… Looks like someone brought a knife to a gunfight, and WON… Wow… Just unbelievable…

That was MY comment on the DMN page where this came from, and I am seriously wondering HOW in the hell did the guy overpower 2 people, take the shotgun away, shot the homeowner and stab BOTH the owner and neighbor.

I am only guessing here, speculation on MY part, let’s make that clear so some of the IDIOTS that read here don’t misunderstand my position on guns, but possibly this is a case of a home owner involving himself into a situation that he was NOT fully prepared for, perhaps NOT a trained individual, trained in police tactics, the use OF the shotgun, the idea of hunting down and shooting another human being, whatever the case may be, I wasn’t there, I can only guess, but something went VERY wrong when some scumbag armed with a knife got BOTH of these people and was able to shoot one too.

There are, regretfully, a lot of folks that DO own guns, LEGALLY, but that’s all they do is own them. They don’t have the training nor the WILL to actually use them against an intruder. I have heard a lot of people say, “Oh hell yeah, I’ll blow em to hell if they mess with ME!” but when they have to actually *draw down* on a real live human being, their knees turn to water and they crap their bloomers.

Troops have it happen in combat, cops have it happen, at the WORST possible moment, it only stands to reason that it could well be the situation in the Watauga shooting too.

If you own a gun and you aren’t a trained professional, get some training, get a lot of training, become highly proficient with your weapon of choice, and then, make your mind up that if placed in a position of having no other choice, make a positive choice that says YES, I CAN pull the trigger on another human being, and YOU are the only one that can make that decision!!

And YOU are the only one that will know the REAL truth regarding that decision! But if you realize that you can’t do it, if YOU determine that you are incapable of taking another humans life, get some mace, get a stun gun, get a baseball bat, get a big damned dog, but don’t get yourself hurt or KILLED over some *macho* idea that it’s *cool* to shoot another person. It’s not…

Charges possible in boy’s Uzi death

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Authorities in Massachusetts are considering whether criminal charges should be filed in the death of an 8-year-old boy who accidentally shot himself with an Uzi submachine gun at a gun show.

Hampden County District Attorney William Bennett said Tuesday he hasn’t been able to find any law that would authorize a child to possess or fire a machine gun.

Christopher Bizilj of Ashford, Conn., was trying out one of the weapons at the Westfield Sportsman’s Club on Sunday when he lost control, shooting himself in the head.

An instructor was watching the boy at a firing range and the youngster’s father was a few feet away.

Bennett says he’s looking into whether anyone committed a reckless or wanton act when they allowed the boy to fire the weapon.

Charges possible in boy’s Uzi death

Charges possible? They should be a certainty!

As I said yesterday, I am dead set against full auto loading weapons being in the hands of ANYONE that is NOT 1) fully trained, 2) an adult, that is to say: MATURE, 3) a person with a specific NEED for such weapon, and 4) a person that possesses sufficient strength, knowledge and skill to control said weapon.

I fully believe that there was NO parental responsibility exhibited here, none!! Not in ANY way. The father was *present*, but to call this act in ANY way *responsible* is just not something that I can do!

I own a few firearms, one happens to be a Springfield XD-45 Tactical pistol, it hold 14 rounds of 230gr .45 caliber ammunition, it is a semi auto-loader, meaning that your must pull the trigger each time you want to fire it, but it will keep on firing until you stop pulling the trigger or you run out of ammo. When my wife shoots it for the 1st time, it will have ONE round in the chamber and NONE in the magazine. She is an experienced shooter, of smaller calibers, all revolvers, but just in case this larger caliber auto-loader gun *spooks* her, or in some way gets away from her, we don’t have an accident waiting to happen with the 13 additional rounds in the magazine.

Let’s talk about RESPONSIBLE gun ownership and support. I was raised with weapons, my father was a gunsmith, he had heart surgery twice and the 2nd time really messed up his chest, left him very *tender*, so I got to do ALL the test firing on heavy caliber weapons, thus I was able to get lots of shooting in at a young age. BUT, I was well trained, well supervised and until such time that I was thought to be fully capable, I was under stringent supervision. And I wasn’t 8 years old, I was more like 14 or 15 at the time, fairly mature for my age and it was, all in all, one hell of a great experience.

I didn’t fire my 1st fully automatic weapon until I was 18 years old, I stood 6’1″, weighed about 210 pounds and had several years of serious experience with weapons, and I had a very good idea of what to expect when the Thompson submachine gun went off. It did, as ALL full autos are inclined to do, go into a climb, meaning that the barrel rose in elevation as I held the trigger. But I knew to let off of the trigger to STOP the climb. Apparently, someone forgot to tell that to the 8 year old kid when they let him have a go at a fully loaded Uzi.

There is NO WAY that an 8 year old kid had ANY business firing a full auto ANYTHING, regardless of the level of supervision, he WAS and 8 year old kid, and even if he had been privvy to a few *tips* on the handling of a full auto, when he pulled the trigger and that thing started cooking, ALL of his *tips* went right out the window.

I have seen grown men and women lose control of a full auto weapon. I have seen experienced gunners come close to losing control on occasion. The father of this child and the so-called instructor need to be tied to a tree and horse whipped, repeatedly.

This tragic event is NOT something that should even remotely bring about ANY kind of laws against the LEGAL ownership of Class III weapons in general, what this is, basically, is nothing more than a testament to the fact that their MUST be some common sense applied when shooting ANY firearm, by the supposed ADULTS involved.

And in this particular case, NONE was, and a child lost his life, because of that lack of parental responsibility!

Feds disrupt skinhead plot to assassinate Obama

WASHINGTON (AP) - Law enforcement agents have broken up a plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 88 black people, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said Monday.

In court records unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn., federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school in a murder spree that was to begin in Tennessee. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name.

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of ATF’s Nashville field office, said the two men planned to kill 88 black people, including 14 by beheading. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.

The men also sought to go on a national killing spree after the Tennessee murders, with Obama as its final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.

“They said that would be their last, final act - that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama,” Cavanaugh said. “They didn’t believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying.”

These guys are nothing more than White Trash, as a matter of fact, they give White Trash a BAD name.

I have worked very hard to keep Obama out of office, I will work very hard to remove him from office in the 2012 elections, but damn, this is some of that seriously crazy *hate crime* crap, conceived from weak minds and perpetrated by ignorant TRASH!

Look for much more of the same thing in the coming months, and remember, it’s people like these 2 dipsticks that present the strongest case for the libber nuts and their gun grabbing agenda…
