Battered Wife Uses Gun to Stop Husband’s Attack

WRIC is reporting that a woman in Chesterfield Virginia used a gun to shot her husband as he was attacking her. Witnesses reportedly corroborate the woman’s claim that she used the gun in self-defense. The man is apparently in the hospital and awaiting charges while the woman is not expected to be charged.

“We determined there was a domestic altercation and the wife had acted in self-defense” said Chesterfield Police lieutenant RandyHorowitz. (h/t Guns Save Lives)

WRIC Richmond News and Weather –

If not for the firearm she used, how would this woman have stopped her attack? Without the gun she fired in self-defense she may have had to endure a harsher beating and, maybe, even worse. The gun she used may have very well saved her life.

It seems to me that it would be very instructive to see where all those who’d take our firearms and, by extension, our right to self defense come down on this case. Do they think this battered wife should be disarmed? Was it wrong for her to shoot her husband as he beat her? Should other women who feel physically threatened by somebody close to them follow this woman’s example or not?

Scumbag Warren

Everybody’s favorite fringe-left Senator of dubious heritage is back in the news today. As crazy as ever, Elizabeth Warren is now trying to figure out why our minimum wage isn’t $22 an hour. So, if you’re a low-skill worker who already can’t find a job with the minimum wage at $7 an hour rest assured that Warren is fighting to make sure you never find a job again.

But, hey, at least Elizabeth Warren is consistent and pays all of the people who work for her at least as much as she thinks minimum wage should be. Oh wait, of course she doesn’t actually do that. No, she pays her interns exactly nothing.

Bloomberg Imitates Satire

If any of you recall the end of the movie Thank You For Smoking the anti-smoking senator, named Ortolan Finistirre, tries to have cigarettes erased from old pictures & movies. He does so because he thinks it makes cigarettes look cool to young people. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has, basically, called for exactly the same thing with his ridiculous proposal to force store owners to hide their cigarettes from public view.

In honor of Bloomberg’s decision to imitate satire I present you with this photoshop.
