Self-Defense Is Legal in Baltimore

The DA seems to have thrown a lot of charges at him, hoping to convict on something. 21-Year-Old Acquitted in Downtown Shooting - Baltimore Witness

Davon Matthews, 21, was acquitted of attempted murder, first-degree assault, reckless endangerment, firearm use, and two gun offenses. He was initially charged in connection to a Sept. 14, 2025, shooting that occurred on the 300 block of Light Street. An 18-year-old man was injured in the confrontation.

Seems like the DA couldn't make up his mind about charges.

Seems like police procedure might have been an issue.

Hanna argued that surveillance footage and witness testimony left unanswered questions about how the incident began. She contended that police failed to fully investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting and could not establish whose gun fired the shot that struck the victim.

Now I don't what happened or who was at fault, whether this is justice or not.

But I'm a bit surprised that the jury, in Baltimore, didn't find him guilty of something. I think the DA might have been surprised as well.

The Passenger

Another song that comes to us by way of WXRT's Saturday Morning Flashback. WXRT (Chicago's Finest Rock) was revisiting 1977 on May 2nd.

1977 was the year that gave us the original Star Wars, Smokey and the Bandit, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and more. Seattle Slew won the Kentucky Derby in May, and would win the Triple Crown.

This song is "The Passenger" by Iggy Pop from his 1977 album Lust for Life.

I'm actually more familiar with the cover by Siouxsie and the Banshees. While the cover isn't in their usual mode (Goth, Post Punk), it was the version I know and like.

Naked Intruder Shot by Homeowner

Given that he was naked, do we believe that drugs were involved? Yes we do. "Multiple substances" were involved. Arrest of naked break-in suspect shot by Medford homeowner leads to theft IDs | Rogue Valley Times

A Michigan man who was shot late Sunday night by a homeowner while attempting to break into a residence in the 800 block of Gilman Road in Medford was sentenced Tuesday to 30 days in jail.

There was a plea involved.

Medford, Oregon, is about 75 miles east of the Pacific coast, and about 20 miles north of the California state line.

The District attorney seems to have his head screwed on straight.

“Despite us not having the ability to charge a more serious offense, it is a serious and scary incident for the homeowners and family involved,” Green added. “For that reason, I have concluded the deadly use of force used against him by one of the homeowners was completely justified under Oregon law. As a result, there will be no criminal charges filed against her for rightly protecting her family in that situation.”

In That Place Where Great Britain Used To Be

William Teach at Pirate's Cove has the latest insanity from the UK. Britons Apply For US Asylum As UK Elites Tell Them To Take AC Out

OK, perhaps it’s a bit hyperbolic to think that all those Brits over here in the US for the World Cup would declare asylum as “climate refugees”, but, it would be funny as hell.

And yes. The "leaders" of the UK have decided to wage war on air conditioning, and not on their rape epidemic.

This is the only data I could find, already in a chart. The data is from 2024.

SCOTUS Strikes Down Hawaii Law Restricting CCW

Given all the other crazy laws in Hawaii, I'm not sure how much of a difference this is going to make in practice. Still... US Supreme Court strikes down Hawaii gun law as unconstitutional

The US Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a Hawaii law that bans the carrying of firearms on private property open to the public such as stores or restaurants without the owner's permission.

The conservative-dominated court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that the state law was a violation of the Second Amendment of the Constitution, which says Americans have the right to keep and bear arms.

As I understand it, and I am no lawyer, you had to get permission from the owner of a business before (prior to arriving) you could conceal and carry on the premises in question.

Justice Samuel Alito, in an opinion joined by the five other conservative justices, said the Hawaii law imposes "severe restrictions" on residents who have been granted concealed carry permits.

You can read any number of articles for an overview, or you can find the decision on the Supreme Court's website.

How Should a Woman Defend Herself?

And what should she do when the pepper spray fails? Fort Worth Woman Pepper Sprays, Then Shoots Ex-Boyfriend Who Broke In - USA Carry

People also need to understand the sentence, "It's over!"

Her ex-boyfriend came to her home uninvited, forced his way inside, and began assaulting her.

The woman deployed pepper spray against her attacker first. When that did not stop him, she drew her firearm and fired, striking him three times. He was transported to the hospital with critical injuries. No charges have been reported against the woman.

So I would love for someone from the gun-hating part of the Left (it is not all of the Left) to explain what she should have done to defend herself. What should she do when she is being assaulted? What should she do when the non-lethal option fails? It only takes one to initiate a violent encounter, and if they choose you, they will not give you much warning.

With luck, between the gunshot wounds, and some prison time, this guy will learn a valuable lesson. I am not optimistic about that.

Self-defense is a human right, and this took place in Texas.

USAID Was Funding COVID Research in Wuhan

Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit has an update on your tax dollars doing bad things. Fauci Was Using USAID to Fund COVID Research in Wuhan Labs Resulting in 7.1 Million International Deaths – Trump Was Right

Since USAID stopped funding communists in elections in South America, the Left has lost several elections. Now the Democrats are screaming about deaths caused from lack of USAID funding. But they ignore the deaths caused by that funding.

For the record, the study Democrat Ro Khanna uses to support his claim about 4.5 million child deaths was funded by the Socialist Spanish government.

Completely non-biased Spanish socialists.

Mike Benz pointed out that USAID was funding the COVID research at the Wuhan labs in China!

COVID killed 7.1 million innocent human beings since its release from the Wuhan labs! And it was funded by Dr. Fauci and USAID!

Benz then added that USAID likely killed more people by creating COVID than the totals from the junk leftist studies.

A Bit of Sanity in the Middle of a Tragedy

More information on a recent shooting in Missouri. ‘I don’t blame them’: Grieving father says he understands why homeowner killed his son during break-in

Grieving parents usually lash out. This guy seems to be mostly concerned about the facility where his son had been living. He was living in a home for people with "high-functioning autism."

As for the person who shot his son...

Despite the pain, Barker said he holds no anger toward the homeowner.

“I don’t blame them. They were doing what they felt they needed to do to protect their family. I wish it didn’t happen, but at the end of the day, they did what they felt was right,” Allen Barker said.

He is in the middle of a personal tragedy, and can still act like a human being. That is a rare quality today.

The early details were in the post at this link.

Feminists Against (Straight) Sex

The Other McCain brings us something in the way of a book report. Feminists and Their Problems

It seems that the folks on BlueSky, the Leftist alternative to X, Parler, et al, lost its collective mind over something recently.

A Canadian feminist, Phoebe Maltz Bovy, recently published a book The Last Straight Woman: On Desiring Men. A website published a 23-paragraph excerpt of Ms. Maltz Bovy’s book and, when this excerpt was promoted on BlueSky, the book’s theme and its author were angrily denounced.

Of course, I immediately ordered the book from Amazon. Anything that sends the BlueSky crowd into paroxysms of apoplectic rage must be good. /p>

Does anyone know why the folks at BlueSky thought they needed an alternative to Mastadon?

Seems that Ms. Bovy is searching for “feminist approaches to female heterosexuality.”

Click thru for the analysis of that. It does spill over into Substack.

Aggressive Dog Shot in Washington State

Dogs need to be controlled. Aggressive Dog Fatally Shot At East Wenatchee Apartments

This guy first encountered the dog, while he was trying to move into a new apartment. He asked the owner of the dog to come get it, and that too care of the situation for a while.

Authorities said the dog later came out again and acted aggressively toward the man, who then shot the dog with a handgun.

Two shots were fired, and the dog was struck twice.

The owner of the dog, then attacked the shooter. He declined to press charges on the assault.

East Wenatchee, Washington, is about 95 miles east of Seattle. The drive will be considerably longer than that.

I am not surprised by the following.

A similar complaint involving the dog had reportedly been made just days before Saturday’s shooting.

If you own a dog, you need to control it, one way or another. If you don't something like this is bound to happen.

Cops are treating this like self-defense, and the guy who shot the dog is not expected to face charges.

Self-defense is a human right.

Any Bets on This Library Being a Gun-Free Zone?

Shooting suspect scoped out library before returning with a shotgun and killing 2, police say
There have been at least three fatal attacks at libraries in the last nine years.

Libraries near me are gun-free defenseless victim zones. Why? Because they are run by Leftists who wouldn't "feel safe" if people were allowed to defend themselves. So they feel safe, but they are not safe.

Chico, California, is about an 85 mile drive north of Sacramento.

The suspect shot a man at the entrance of the library in the leg and then shot him in the head before firing multiple shots inside and shooting another man in the head, said Sid Patel, special agent in charge in the FBI’s Sacramento office.

Click thru for details.

Now I don't have a definitive source, but I do have AI (qwen3.5-9b) running locally. I asked, "Is concealed carry allowed in the library at Chico, California?"

No, concealed carry is generally not allowed inside the public libraries in Chico, California.

Here are the specific details regarding the law and policies:

  1. Chico Public Library Policy

    The Chico Public Library system operates under a strict "Gun-Free Zone" policy. Like many municipal libraries in California, their Rules of Conduct prohibit weapons or firearms on library premises. This is enforced through posted signage upon entering the building. Violating this policy can result in the individual being removed from the property and potentially having their firearm confiscated.

  2. California State Law
    • Sensitive Public Places: Under California Penal Code, certain locations are designated as "Sensitive Public Places" where carrying a concealed weapon is prohibited by law. While libraries are not always explicitly listed in the state statute like schools or hospitals, the library building itself can designate itself as an exclusion zone if proper signage is posted and local ordinances support it.
    • Local Ordinances: Chico City and Butte County laws generally respect these facility-specific prohibitions. A valid Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit allows you to carry in many public spaces, but it does not grant immunity against specific venue restrictions where firearms are banned by policy or signage.

I'm shocked that a policy "enforced through posted signage" at the entrance didn't stop a bad guy.

We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful

This song was on WXRT's Saturday Morning Flashback, June 14th, when they were covering 1992. It reminded me of the insanity that is currently surrounding the first trillionaire, Elon Musk.

I don't particularly like Morrissey, but the song seems appropriate. The lyrics include the following.

And if we can destroy them
You bet your life we will destroy them

and

You see, it should've been me
It could've been me
Everybody knows
Everybody says so

Jealousy is an ugly thing.

This is "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful" by Morrissey from his 1992 album, Your Arsenal.

Another Failure of the Victim-Selection Process

More good guys are armed every day. The bad guys keep not getting that memo. Blue Springs homeowner shoots, kills alleged intruder, police say

Officers with the Blue Springs Police Department were called to the 100 block of Little Garden on Friday morning on reports of a burglary. A homeowner called 911 and said that someone had entered the home unlawfully.

Blue Springs, Missouri, is located 19 miles east of Kansas City.

While cops were on the way, the homeowner shot the intruder. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

And neighbors were shocked. Shooting during break-in shakes quiet Blue Springs neighborhood

Neighbors say the incident has left them shaken in an area they describe as quiet.

“I’m just more in shock than anything,” said James Ononye, a neighbor.

There are more statements along those lines. Neighbors wondering what they would do, not understanding that you need to plan ahead. The homeowner in this incident had a gun, it was loaded, and he knew how to use it, and presumably he knew a little about how the law in Missouri works.

You are not protected by your zip code. You do not live on top of magic dirt. You live in The Real World™ where crime can, and all too often does, occur. You should plan accordingly.

The investigation is only getting started, but Missouri is not Massachusetts.

Self-defense is a human right.
