A “transgender” student — a girl that “self-identifies” as a male — was beaten and sexually assaulted by three boys in a California middle/high school bathroom. Except she wasn’t.

Child Killers. Hang ’em.
On February 18th 2013 a 10-year-old little girl was kidnapped as she walked home from a friend’s house in Springfield, Missouri. A couple days later Hailey Owens’ dead body was found across town in the basement of a fiend’s house, with a gunshot to the head and who knows what other injuries inflicted upon her. [ref]
Craig Michael Wood, a 45-year-old middle-school football coach had snatched Hailey from the street in plain view of neighbors, racing her off to her doom, and to what should without question be his own doom.
Who can reasonably say that Wood shouldn’t get the death penalty?
Nobody.
Their Silence is Defining
On July 9th in Florida three black 15 year-olds brutally beat a 13-year-old white boy on a school bus [ref].
Not a peep from Barack Obama, Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson.
This wasn’t the first time the trio opted to remain silent.
Sir Charles the Just
Retired NBA player and current NBA analyst for TNT television, Charles Barkley, nicknamed “Sir Charles” by many, is well known for his outgoing and outspoken personality.
In the wake of the Zimmerman trial, Barkley could have easily laid low and kept his opinion to himself.
Justice Severed
Almost everything about the Zimmerman Martin saga reeks of injustice.
Everything except the verdict.
Perhaps the biggest injustice of all — certainly the most public — was when a very un-presidential Obama declared that if he had a son, his son would look like Trayvon Martin. This outrageous and extremely ill-advised statement fueled the flames of bigotry and intolerance that already senselessly raged around the incident.
Good Riddance
Christopher Dorner is probably dead, his charred body found in the cabin he apparently set on fire after shooting himself [ref].
Good riddance.
He killed innocent people. He was a terrorist. He was a psychopath.
I don’t care whether he could have been medically declared insane or not. Anybody who murders innocent people as Dorner did is psychologically messed up.
Sadly, there are people almost as crazy as Dorner was who are trying to justify his actions, even calling him a hero [ref].
A Long Term Downward Trend
Don’t let alarmists mislead you into believing that there is a murder crisis in the U.S. that must be remedied by gun control. Contrary to popular belief, homicides in the U.S. have declined dramatically over the last few centuries.
Guns and Homicides Don’t Correlate
High rates of gun ownership do not correlate with higher rates of homicide by firearm.

The UK’s Gun Ban Works, Doesn’t It?
Gun laws in the United Kingdom have gradually over the years become more and more restrictive, to the point where today the laws and licensing requirements effectively ban private gun ownership [ref].
Yet homicide rates in the UK have been rising. Mark Easton of the BBC wrote:
More Gun Control, More Murders
Washington D.C. has one of the highest murder rates in the U.S. It also has perhaps the strictest gun control laws [ref, ref]. In 1976 D.C. passed a law that essentially prohibited residents from carrying firearms, and required privately owned firearms to be kept unloaded and inoperable. In 2008 the U.S. Supreme court struck down the law as constitutional. During D.C.’s unconstitutional gun ban its murder rate was 73% higher than prior to the law’s enactment [ref].
Police Lieutenant Lowell Duckett, President of the Black Police Caucus, and Special Assistant to the Washington D.C. Police Chief had this say about gun control in Washington D.C.:
