SMART DIPLOMACY: 2nd journalist beheaded by ISIS savages; should we send more?
Barack Obama, proud owner of disastrous “Smart Diplomacy”, will probably read in tomorrow’s paper that a second U.S. journalist has been beheaded by the knuckle-dragging ISIS savages.
Here at Guns Save Life, we are flummoxed.
Should America offer to send ISIS additional US journalists like Geraldo Rivera (aka Jerry Rivers), Alex Wagner, Piers Morgan, Bob Costas, Soledad O’Brien, Don Lemon, David Gregory and Bill Plante?
Or should we wipe ISIS off the face of the earth, sort of like we’ve eliminated small pox?
Maybe we can do both.
CHICAGO ISN’T SAFE: Fewer shootings; more murders in August
Chicago’s August totals are in.
It wasn’t pretty, but a long shot.

Fewer people got shot and wounded by about 10% from July, but more got kilt overall.
And that’s with Chicago PD re-categorizing some deaths as “non-criminal” when they were indeed homicides.
The bottom line: It’s a public relations disaster for Chicago’s Police Superintendent Garry “Streetlight Assassin” McCarthy, the hard-drinking, skirt-chaser at CPD.

A Green Bay, Wisconsin cop, who obviously doesn’t read Guns Save Life’s blog, was robbed in Chicago in the last couple of days while doing the tourist gig. Someone broke into his car and stole his gun and his badge.
If yoiu haven’t seen it already at GSL, here’s a hint.
CHICAGO ISN’T SAFE. Avoid Chicago for business or leisure travel. Nothing in Chicago is worth dying for.
BAD NEWS FOR BAD GUYS: Justifiable homicides headed northward in New Orleans
While being beaten and choked, Kawanda Hampton stabbed her boyfriend, Jemond Carson, in her eastern New Orleans home on Feb. 13. Police called the killing a justifiable homicide, but Hampton’s problems aren’t over. She is facing criminal charges of obstructing justice. She didn’t know she was within her rights to kill him, she says, so she lied to police at first because she didn’t want to go to jail. These are messy, complex cases that take an emotional toll, for both the dead person’s family and the survivor who took the life. They are also challenging for law enforcement to investigate. Thorny legal issues cloud the thin line between whether police consider the survivor a perpetrator or a victim, a murderer or a hero.
