HEDWIG VILLAGE, TX – Police in Texas have arrested a man after he allegedly attempted to rob a man at gunpoint on I-10. During the process, the man allegedly accidentally shot himself in the head, he is expected to recover. [Tweet] Police in Hedwig Village began getting multiple calls regarding a traffic crash near the 8800 block of the Katy Freeway, which ended in shots being fired. When they arrived on the scene, they saw several people who were wrestling someone who they later learned had been shooting at the victim. Adam Bennet from KHOU 11 News received an anonymous video of the shooting and he spoke to an unidentified witness.

Comments:

Apparently, Marquez had been brake-checking other cars on I-10, even blocked one and exited his vehicle before deciding to commit an armed robbery. After being fired at close range--and missed--the victim decided to take away the assailant's gun. A fight ensued. When the bad guy pulled the trigger, his gun just happened to be pointed at his least vulnerable spot: his head. As Ahnuld said in the second Terminator movie, "He'll live."

When your brain is like a BB in a boxcar, it's hard to die from a shot to the head. Just wondering, is he out on cashless bail yet?

Too bad he did not out himself. If dead, he would have been a strong candidate for the Darwin Award.

If an armed robber like Marquez gets within an arm's length and hasn't managed to shoot you yet--despite discharging his gun twice--stripping him of his gun becomes paramount to survival. If the shooter got that close to me (and somehow had not shot me fatally yet), his gun would become our gun. When his fingers and wrist start breaking, it becomes my gun and the fight is over.

Curtis Reeves trial begins eight years
after deadly Pasco County theater shooting

WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. - A trial eight years in the making will finally begin. Back in 2014, during a matinée movie in Pasco County, a retired Tampa police captain shot and killed a man during an argument over a cell phone. The years have been filled with numerous motions and pandemic-related delays that have really slowed this case down. But now, the jury selection for Curtis Reeves' trial will begin Monday. Ultimately, the jurors selected for this case have to answer one big question, and that’s whether they believe Reeves acted in self-defense when he shot a man inside a Wesley Chapel movie theater on Jan. 13, 2014.

Nancy Pelosi, stock-trader extraordinaire, doubles as an adviser to America’s Olympic athletes. And her wise, nuanced advice to them is simple: “Shut up.” It would be a very bad idea, she says, to voice any political criticism at the games of the Chinese Communist Party or its glorious rule. You may have missed her similar advice to LeBron James, as he kissed the backside of Beijing’s dictators.

Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby pleaded not guilty Friday to charges she falsely claimed a coronavirus-related financial hardship in order to withdraw thousands of dollars from her city retirement fund in relation to vacation home purchases in Florida. Earlier last month a grand jury indicted her on two counts of perjury and making false statements on a loan application to purchase the vacation homes. She also allegedly failed to disclose past unpaid federal taxes on the mortgage applications, the indictment said. She pleaded not guilty to all four counts, FOX 45 of Baltimore reported. Mosby, 42, has refused to resign and has claimed the charges are politically motivated.

Accelerated Buck Passing Ahead 2 replies

Buck passing is a time-honored tradition in American politics. A former Minnesota Governor once wryly observed that successful leaders have perfected the ability to take credit for things that they don’t deserve and avoid the blame for those things which they do. Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that famously said, “The Buck Stops Here.” By the time Mr. Biden arrived at the Oval Office that sign was long gone. Rumor has it that Donald Trump had a sign that read, “I kick buck and take names! (You got a problem with that?)” The current clueless Commodore of our ship of state should have

When you look at the people on CNN the absolute last thing to come to your mind is “sex.” Now that I’ve planted that thought in your head you’ve probably thrown up in your mouth a little bit, sorry about that. But while “CNN” and “sex” are the brushing your teeth and drinking orange juice of cable news, it turns out the network founded by Ted Turner was pretty much an unaccountable key party that appears to have come to an end.

Biden tried to be FDR and failed at that. Now he’s settling for playing a senile elderly JFK. If you watch 5 minutes of CNN or any cable news network, you might believe that we’re on the verge of war with Russia. That’s what the same people who claimed that President Trump was working for Putin want you to believe. Their new war with Russia is as real as Russiagate. Democrats want to fight Russia to the last Republican. They aren’t about to fight a real war. Their fake wars with Russia are an attack on Republicans. Russiagate came after Democrats spent eight years giving Putin everything

Washington State took a big step this week towards passing a “wealth tax” on the state’s richest residents. The state — home to uberwealthy Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, among others — is holding senate hearings on SB 5426, which would portion a 1% tax on “paper wealth” like stocks, bonds, futures, and publicly traded options. I’m reading the text of the bill right now, and about the first 15-20% of it isn’t even actual law. It’s nothing but happy talk, like “Washington has long led the way with innovative and bold ideas that have changed the world.” And: “Washington’s wealthiest residents can and should share more equitably in

From Jeff Bezos to Joe Biden, noted Sinophiles and racists litter the landscape of the Left. For where there is slavery (China), and racist social division to be sown (America), there is enormous profit to be made. It is an established fact that leading Democrats are cliche-spewing tools who emote out of the southern end of their alimentary canals and whose neurotic hysteria sets the national agenda. Yet, they have amassed quite a lemminglike following of true believers, progressive foot soldiers who think things have not gone "far enough" in terms of silencing, humiliating, and otherwise eliminating the universal scourge of "whiteness itself."

'People move to states with low-income tax for a multitude of reasons, sometimes it's the most direct and obvious reason that it reduces their own tax liability,' the vice president of state projects at the Tax Foundation, Jared Walczak, told Yahoo.

The Biden administration is set to fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its plan to advance "racial equity." The $30 million grant program, which closed applications Monday and will begin in May, will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts. Included in the grant, which is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, are funds for "smoking kits/supplies." A spokesman for the agency told the Washington Free Beacon that these kits will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and "any illicit substance."

Does he eat a hamburger? Does he do this? Does he do that? You know, I mean, it’s just, listen, here’s my message: The more plant-based meals you have, the healthier you are going to be,” the mayor said, unprompted.

Shocking video has emerged that shows a Las Vegas student viciously pounding another girl on the head dozens of times–as other classmates stand by and laugh. The unnamed girl was seen pummeling the student, who lifts her hands to protect herself from the barrage for the first eight seconds of the clip filmed in a Las Vegas High School classroom. A person believed to be the teacher is heard yelling at the attacker, “Stop! Stop! Stop! Get off of her!” But the brutal beatdown continues–and other students are heard laughing. In the remaining 10 seconds or so of the graphic footage, the victim stops defending herself and rests

It does not require taxpayers to subsidize that right,” Democratic San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said, according to CNN. Gun owners are also required under the law to have insurance. The law, which received its first approval in January, will need approval on a second reading this month before it can go on the books, taking effect in August. Even before the second reading, a lawsuit has been filed to block the process.
