The Other Sebastian points to a forensic technique that’s been used to jail a lot of problem.  The problem is, it’s totally bogus.

… is how a SWAT team is supposed to be used.

These people need to be hunted down like dogs and thrown in jail.

While a spokesman said he didn’t know who committed the act, the Animal Liberation Front called the attacks a “necessary” act, just like those who fought against civil rights injustices. Spokesman Dr. Jerry Vlasak showed no remorse for the family or children who were targeted.

“If their father is willing to continue risking his livelihood in order to continue chopping up animals in a laboratory than his children are old enough to recognize the consequences,” said Vlasak, a former animal researcher, who is now a trauma surgeon. “This guy knows what he is doing. He knows that every day that he goes into the laboratory and hurts animals that it is unreasonable not to expect consequences.”

The Santa Cruz Police Department said it was “unconscionable” for anyone to defend such acts.

As someone who works in the pharmaceutical industry, I agree.  This kind of research not only help people, but animals as well.  Every drug on the market today was tested on animals (and people too, which the ALF loonies never seem to mention).

Authorities suspect that an animal rights group created the list, which warned: “Animal abusers everywhere beware; we know where you live; we know where you work; we will never back down until you end your abuse.”

Any biomedical researcher in the Philadelphia area who would like to learn how to defend yourself with a firearm, send me an e-mail.

Hat Tip to Thirdpower

We have a case of another law abiding car owner that the American Automobile Association likes to tell us are the type of people who want to own and drive cars:

Colarulo says that just before 1am Wednesday morning, 19-year-old Shawn Bender rammed his Chrysler into another vehicle on the southbound outer lanes of the Boulevard, near Adams Avenue, forcing that car into a concrete barricade, killing a 17-year-old man who was in the car and leaving the other three people in that car — including Bender’s own 12-month-old daughter and the baby’s mother — in critical condition:

“He was ramming the vehicle to the point where he was striking the vehicle numerous times and the vehicle was forced into a brick wall. And that’s what caused the injuries and the fatality at this point.”

Sadly, the child died.  More children are killed by car misuse than any other cause of death.  When will we realize that the only way we can prevent such tragedy is by restricting access to automobiles?

OSHA washes its hands of a claim by Princeton University Police officers that the University’s policy prohibiting them from carrying guns is a workplace hazard.  But of course, OSHA seems to think keeping guns out of the workplace is their business.

Police officers should be allowed to carry a gun to protect themselves throughout the course of their duties, and also off duty.  Even on a college campus like Princeton, it can be dangerous work.  Princeton isn’t far from a certain city that’s infested with crime, and college kids are easy targets, especially rich ones.  Their cops should be armed.  The fact that this is even an issue should say how out of touch academics have gotten from ordinary people.  Princeton University should be ashamed.  OSHA should be ashamed too, and We The People should put an end to this unconstitutional monstrosity of a federal agency.

Thanks to Bitter, we have another fine example of Law Abiding Pool Owners flagrantly violating the law.  Do you notice any fences?  Alarms around the pool?  Let’s not even mention the multiple building and amusement code violations.  Are these the kinds of pool owners the National Pool Association tells us are “law abiding?”

It’s well established that having a pool in the house greatly increases the likelihood of you or your loved ones drowning in one of the thousands of pool accidents that happen every year.  This is what happens when parents leave a pool within easy reach of children.  Leave your pool unattended, an unsecured, and irresponsible hands may find it, and operate an amusement ride without a license or permit.  Parents are well advised to never keep a pool around the house, especially without also securing plywood, tarps, and ladders.
