The proper use of a “weapon dangerous” charge
The proper use of a “weapon dangerous to public peace” charge was reported in the Chronicle-Herald newspaper the other day. Allen Estabrooks sexually assaulted a woman at the bar, then fired his loaded shotgun at one or more people outside…
Innocent People Pay when stupid people get guns
There is nothing more tragic and horrifying than when a child gets killed by some idiot, with or without a gun. And it’s one thing when the moron is just bat-shit crazy, like in Arizona recently. It’s entirely another when…
Senator Joe Lieberman’s Internet Kill Switch Bill
My good friend and unindicted co-conspirator in all things writing, Jane Gaffin, sent me an interesting link last night. The headline of the article read “Egypt’s Internet Kill Switch: Coming To America“, and linked to an article on Alex Jones’…
US Congressman Allen West is a shining example to us all
I received an email from a friend earlier today encouraging me to watch a video of Lt. Col. Allen West (retired) as he was campaigning for election in 2009. I’d never heard of Allen West before, so I was curious,…
Serving Murder Warrants costs two police lives in Miami
Any time you think the police have it easy, just read the headlines. It will give you a pause, I’m sure. The story coming out of Miami, where two veteran Miami-Dade County police officers died when a 23-year-old murder suspect…
Owen Sound Police Chief Tells the Truth about the Gun Registry
Owen Sound Police Chief Tells the Truth about the Gun Registry I love it when serving police chiefs have the guts and integrity to tell the truth. When it comes to Canada’s national failure, the gun registry, it happens so…
A Hartford Police Officer’s Negligent Discharge
Last Saturday morning a Hartford police officer managed to shoot himself in the hand. He was inside the police station attempting to remove his gun belt when his sidearm “accidentally discharged” according to Hartford Police spokeswoman Christene Mertes. Dear Christene,…
Obama, ObamaNation and WTF?
Wow. Obama really doesn’t have a clue, does he. I mean really… who in their right mind goes on national television and tries to sell the acronym WFT as anything OTHER than What The F**? I mean, what the f***…
Lorne Gunter’s Lost Faith in our Police
Lorne Gunter wrote an excellent piece on his lost faith in police, and how it all started with the murder of Robert Dziekanski by 4 RCMP members in 2007. I’m actually surprised that Lorne’s loss of faith in our front-line…
Full Auto Machinegun Shoots are fun
Full-auto machinegun shoots are a lot of fun, or so I’m told. I haven’t had the pleasure myself yet, although Oleg Volk keeps trying to drag me down south to come and play at one. This video is from an…
No, I’m not on parole!
I had a really good chuckle last night as I was wandering through my WordPress setup here on ChristopherDiArmani.com. One of the fun things about WordPress is that you get to see how people land on your site. Most of…
Alberta’s Danielle Smith sends Stelmach running for Retirement
It was a funny story to read in Saturday’s Edmonton Journal… “Wildrose tail wags the dog as federal, provincial Tories quietly meet”. Funny, because the provincial branch hasn’t seemed to have much use for the federal one, given how Ottawa…
What Worldly Good Came From Canada Hosting the G-20 Summit?
I watched the Ontario Ombudsman’s press conference on video and read his full, illustrated December report “Caught in the Act” (ombudsman.on.ca) regarding the investigation into the fallout from the 2010 G-20 Summit. Clone that man! Then infiltrate the entire “so-called”…
Freedom of Speech? No thanks, we’re Canadian…
As any subscribers to Katey’s Rights and Freedom Bulletin will know, she was pretty sick this past week, and is still recovering. But when I talked with her it was pretty clear that even though she was really sick, Katey…
Vancouver City Police Constables Florkow and London are always right
Vancouver City Police constables Nicholas Florkow and Bryan London are always right. Just ask them, they’ll tell you. Even when they‘re 100% wrong, like they are in a high-profile case of police brutality. They’re so convinced they did nothing wrong….
Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla has some serious trouble brewing
Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla (Brampton—Springdale) has some serious trouble brewing in her riding, and is falling from Liberal grace fast. I can’t say I’m sad to hear it, since I don’t think she’s that bright. Ruby Dhalla started off as…
Ontario SIU clears Toronto cops in Junior Alexander Manon’s death
It’s to be expected. Seven Toronto City Police constables beat an 18-year-old man to death and are completely exonerated by Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit, the so-called “police oversight agency” that investigates crimes by police. What I found interesting in reading…
Abbottsford Police Services – Good job on the Buddy Tavares Face-kicking case
A very large “Thank You” goes out to the Abbotsford Police for doing the right thing… on a couple of counts. It was Abbotsford Police Services that was called in to investigate a Kelowna Thug… I mean RCMP constable who…
Ya Gotta Love the Marines
A friend forwarded me a news story today that had a really funny ending. It was about a thief who ran into some marines as he was trying to escape from chasing store personnel: The suspect was transported to the…
Montana Lawmakers’ new proposal is awesome!
Montana, the land of big skies, also likes big freedom. In the wake of US federal government stupidity, specifically the tactics of the abusive Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF), Montana passed a law that said all firearms that…
Toronto City Police Officer in Afghanistan pays tribute to Sgt. Ryan Russell
I was wandering through the Toronto Police Service website last night and came across this article that really touched me. Jeff Alderdice is a member of the Toronto Police Service. He’s currently on a tour of duty in Afghanistan, stationed…
Senior RCMP officer Sgt. John Roskam fakes memo in drug case
This is from the end of April of last year, but it highlights how the RCMP is riddled with systemic decay. High-ranking RCMP officers think it’s completely okay to lie to both Crown prosecutors and defense attorneys. RCMP Sgt. John…
I never thought I’d agree with anything Bill Blair said
Seriously. I never thought there would ever be a day where I could agree with anything that comes out of Bill Blair’s deceitful and self-serving mouth. Turns out I was wrong. Here’s the statement I agree with, although even in…
I spell hypocrite this way: I-G-N-A-T-I-E-F-F
It’s truly mind-blowing how arrogant and hypocritical Liberal Leader Michael Igiatieff is. I mean really… he spouts off about how fantastic Canada’s “gun control” system is, all the while hiding behind his armed bodyguards. How do you know Michael Ignatieff…
Ontario’s SIU acquits Sault Ste. Marie Cop, and rightly so
I don’t generally have much positive to say about the Ontario Special Investigations Unit, but I do today. Late on September 4th, 2010, Sault Ste. Marie police were called to an apartment by a 9-1-1 call. When they arrived, one…
School bus driver charged for carrying a gun
It’s a weird story. I haven’t really known what to think about the case that was first reported about a week ago. January 6th, to be exact. A bus driver in the small town of Lawrence, Manitoba, about 300 kilometers…
Bruce Montague released on Parole
As amazing as it sounds, it’s true. After no word from the parole hearing last week, it’s a great relief (moreso for Bruce and Donna Montague, I’m sure!) to hear that he has actually been granted parole. He arrived back…
Edmonton Police Services Sergeant charged with Assault
And so he should be, from what I can tell. Sgt. Kevin Douglas is a 17-year veteran of the Edmonton City Police. On March 4, 2010 he got into an argument with one of the prisoners at Edmonton’s downtown cells. …
Firearm Safety Rule #1 — Assume the Firearm is LOADED!
There’s a reason we assume a firearm is loaded… until we prove otherwise. It’s the only safe approach to dealing with firearms. Ignoring this Prime Directive of firearms safety can have some pretty drastic consequences, as one Quebec man learned…
