He interrupted a burglary. The burglar reached into a bag, suggesting he was armed. That is grounds for defense.
One detail worth noting for anyone who carries. The tenant fired twice when the suspect reached into the bag, then twice more as the man ran. Self-defense protects you against an imminent threat, and that protection is strongest in the first exchange. Once a threat turns and flees, the legal ground shifts fast. We do not have every detail here, and prosecutors will weigh all of it, but it is a useful reminder that the justification can end the moment the danger does.

The well-known anti-gun groups are apparently all funded from a few sources. You can probably guess some of them.
NSSF has called them out in the past for their bought-and-paid-for activism and it’s time to do it again.

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.
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.

There was a plea involved.

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.”

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.
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.

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.”

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.
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.

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:
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.
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.

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.
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.

I was going to say, that the first thing you need to do, is piss off your target audience, but the real problem is that Hollywood truly does not understand who the audience for superhero movies really is.
When the early projections for the Supergirl opening weekend box office were published, the high end projections were in the neighborhood of $55+ million in the USA and Canada. (Not sure why the projections include Canada, but don't include Mexico.) And then the studio set up some interviews between Milly Alcock and the LGBT media, and she insulted Christian dads, said that Supergirl is going to be some kind of gay or bisexual icon. Witness the result.
That’s notable for one big reason: it’s below the $45 million floor of the $45M–$55M range that recent tracking had settled on, and it’s a long way from where this started.
And that $39 million number is coming from Box Office Theory, one of the best sources for these projections available.
Even before this last round of recalculating the projections, Box Office Theory had settled on $51 million domestically, which is below The Flash, which had a $55 million domestic opening in 2024, and went on to lose $200 million on production budget (not including marketing) of between $200 and 220 million.
The other film that is being compared to Supergirl is The Marvels from Disney Marvel. That movie, from 2023, had an opening weekend of $46.1 million. Loses were calculated to be in the range of $237 million.
When this movie comes out this weekend, there will be much talk of superhero fatigue. But don't believe it. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which comes out July 31st, is already setting sales records.
Tickets for Tom Holland’s fourth Spidey solo film went on sale Wednesday (along with a new trailer) and sold more tickets in the United States in a single day than any film has in the past five years. The film that it could not beat? Spider-Man: No Way Home, the last Tom Holland Spider-Man movie, five years ago.
Disparu makes some good points. The Supergirl comics were mostly purchased by men. Men are the primary audience for all superhero movies. Even Madam Web was primarily watched by men in the cinema, despite all of the marketing being aimed at women. The marketing for Supergirl seems to trying to paint this as a movie for women. That is the mistake that Disney made with The Marvels, or one of the mistakes, anyway.

They start out with following the case of one cop who used the system to track the movements of his ex-girlfriend, and her parents. Then we get to the general statements.
Local news reports from around the country repeatedly detail police abusing the Flock surveillance systemic order to stalk their partners or ex-partners. The contours of each story are much the same, with the police officer in question using their access to the system to repeatedly track a specific person over the course of weeks or months. The cases highlight the fact that Flock can be used to track the whereabouts of individual people, that police do not get a warrant in order to use the system, and that, if they have access to the system, they have the technical ability to look up any license plate they want for any reason they want
Flock claims the abuse is rare, but it should not be possible. There should be controls, audits, something.
It turns out that there are no Greeks, in Nolan's upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey. Nolan, the director who prides himself on authenticity, or something, didn't put any Greeks in one of the quintessential Greek stories.

Just days after making headlines by saying she was "honored" that many fans view Supergirl as a "queer icon," actress Milly Alcock is once again generating discussion about the character's sexuality and relationship to traditional gender roles.
During a recent interview, Alcock was asked whether Kara Zor-El's "queerness" was something she explored while preparing for the role. While she stopped short of explicitly labeling the character, the actress praised the film for not focusing on men and suggested she believes Supergirl would likely be attracted to both men and women.
This was after she made the comment basically saying that she was glad she pissed off Christian dads. Who the fuck does she think buys tickets to superhero movies?
Most of the reviewers have been absolutely raving about Supergirl. Unfortunately, that enthusiasm may not be able to save a film that seems doomed to a mediocre box office performance.
Translation: There is no way this train wreck is going to make money.
Early on the morning after Memorial Day, Chicago Police officials announced there were no homicides over the just-concluded holiday weekend. The local media, operating with the lack of morals and dishonesty of a sleazy PR phony, with Mayor Brandon Johnson cheering them on, immediately parroted the news.
Except there was a homicide. At least one. On Memorial Day morning, a 47-year-old man was stabbed to death in Greater Grand Crossing on the South Side. Chicago Police officers were on the scene that day — and the victim was immediately declared dead.
CPD brass very likely knew about the stabbing death. But they wanted to rush the news out -- perhaps at the urging of Johnson — so the “no homicides” headline would dominate the post-holiday news cycle.

He was bleeding from a head wound, that was inflicted during the assault. The cops in Massachusetts still couldn't ID this as likely self-defense, and they arrested him.

The TL;DR is fairly simple. OpenAI lost $5.09 Billion In 2024. In 2025 that expanded to OpenAI losing $38.5 Billion. (And those numbers a bit sus.)
Please note that 2025 was the year that OpenAI converted from a non-profit to a for-profit entity, leading to a $41.55 billion loss due to changes in fair value of convertible interests and warrant liability.
Taking into account other minor factors like interest income and interest expense, OpenAI is left with a net loss of $60.35 billion, which it lowered to $38.53 billion by removing $17.87 billion in costs via that “net loss attributable to noncontrolling members capital” and another $3.95 billion via a “net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests.”

Once inside, McDonald aggressively confronted the mother and her two children in the foyer and began making threats.
