The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

For John, BLUF:  The McCloskey home defense (2nd Amendment) issue is back in the news, with a resolution.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



From The Lid Blog! by Reporters Wes Walker and Jeff Dunetz, 21 June 2021.

Here is the lede plus three:

If authorities thought that compelling the McCloskeys to plead to a misdemeanor firearms violation would scare them into bending the knee, they have grossly underestimated the McCloskeys.

For anyone who missed it, here is a quick recap of events that had their detractors gloating.

Mark and Patricia McCloskey pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges after they brandished weapons against protesters outside their home in June 2020 during the height of riots surrounding the death of George Floyd.

On Thursday, Mark McCloskey pleaded guilty to a fourth-degree misdemeanor of assault and was ordered to pay a $750 fine, while Patricia McCloskey pleaded guilty to a second-degree misdemeanor of harassment and mandated to pay $2,000.  Neither will face jail time, though the pair’s firearms will be destroyed by state authorities.

This seems like a major reduction in the charges, as times has worn on.  How much right does one have to defend the lives of loved ones and one's own property?  Apparently quie a bit.  Just don't yell at the protestors, such that they feel as frightened as oneself.

Will Mr Mark McCloskey be running in 2022 for the US Senate from Missouri, to replace Republican Senator Roy Blunt?

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
