Lester Davis — Disagree with him and he’ll shoot your butt!
WENTZVILLE • A barbershop patron accused of firing three times at another customer discussing the Connecticut school shooting has been charged with three felonies.
Lester Davis, 57, of the 400 block of Highland Meadows Place, is facing charges of first-degree assault, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a weapon.
According to police, Davis was at the All Cuts Barber Shop, 102 West Pearce Boulevard, about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday with five other people.
One of the patrons was discussing last week’s shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown and commented that the incident “makes me want to murder the suspect,” police said.
For unknown reasons, Davis took the comment as a threat and asked, “You want to murder me?” Davis then walked out to his Volkswagen sedan, retrieved a loaded Smith & Wesson 9 mm pistol and fired three times in the customer’s direction, police said.
Davis said, “I’ll let you slide,” walked out of the barbershop and drove off in his car, police said.
I will admit it, I have been a disagreeable sort in my day; but I never shot anybody or at anybody in the process! 😯 The really funny thing is, this didn’t happen on the east side of Detroit or anything, this happened in Missouri. But yet, we always how horrible the inner city of Detroit really is and such.
And yes, like Jeff said, Shall we ban barber shops now or maybe even angry black people? 😯 Just saying y’all, just saying… 😀
It figures, you can’t trust a neoconservative to maintain principles for anything. This is why I despise them so much:
Republicans need to “have a discussion on guns” in the wake of last week’s grade-school massacre in Newtown, Conn., Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told his conference Tuesday.
Speaking to his troops at a closed-door meeting in the Capitol, Boehner was mindful of conservatives’ traditional opposition to new gun restrictions, emphasizing that Republicans wouldn’t do “anything knee-jerk,” according to a lawmaker in the room.
But the Speaker also said he wants to “de-politicize” the issue of gun violence, which has been thrust dreadfully into the national spotlight following the murder of 26 people — 20 of them young school children — at Sandy Hook Elementary School last Friday.
Since the massacre, President Obama and a long list of congressional Democrats have urged tougher gun laws — including a reinstatement of the assault-weapons ban and the elimination of the gun-show loophole — but GOP leaders have remained largely silent about a violence-prevention strategy. The discrepancy has lent partisan undertones to the Sandy Hook response that Boehner clearly wants to eliminate.
Boehner said the GOP’s strategy would be to examine the reasons that the mass shootings of recent years have been carried out, almost exclusively, by young, white males with mental illnesses, according to the lawmaker in the room.
“We need to have a discussion about guns,” the lawmaker said, relaying Boehner’s remarks, “and that doesn’t mean that all of a sudden we abandon the Second Amendment or the NRA [National Rifle Association] or anything like that. But there needs to be a discussion and everybody needs to participate and we need to depoliticize it.”
Boehner also told Republicans that they need to be “circumspect” in their observations, the lawmaker said, warning that “it’s not helpful” for lawmakers to call for arming teachers as a way to prevent mass shootings.
Basically, that means, we’re screwed. They are going to pass a broad ban on all weapons that are not considered for personal protection. Which means that everyone needs to seriously look into buying that gun that you have wanted, before the ban goes into effect, and get your high-capacity magazines and ammo; before they outlaw you from buying it.
In my sidebars, I have two great places, one for ammo and one for guns. Please do check them out. I believe that everyone should be able to own a gun. This idea that guns were responsible for this tragic event is asinine. The only person responsible was the shooter’s mother, who was too stupid to not have her guns, where her mentally ill son could not get to them.
However, this will not stop this Marxist president; He and Hillary Clinton will not rest until there is a British-style gun ban in America. So, you know what means, don’t you?
Aren’t there any white people that can do these jobs? Am I even allowed ask such questions?

White House officials have approached American Express Co. (AXP) Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Chenault about joining President Barack Obama’s second-term administration, possibly as Treasury secretary, according to two people familiar with the matter.
White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew remains the leading contender for the Treasury job, the people said. Still, consideration of Chenault among Obama’s staff may indicate the president hasn’t made a final decision on a replacement for Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, who has said he plans to leave the post.
Other potential roles for Chenault, a longtime Obama supporter, may be as Commerce secretary or as a senior adviser to the president, according to the people, who asked for anonymity to discuss internal administration deliberations. White House officials have also considered Xerox Corp. (XRX) CEO Ursula Burns as a potential nominee for the Commerce Department job, both of the people said.
I don’t know what role this might play in this stability of that Country, but it is news:
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi President Jalal Talabani has had a stroke and his medical team in Baghdad is still trying to stabilize his condition, a spokesman for the prime minister said Tuesday.
Talabani, a rare unifying figure who is seen to rise above the country’s ethnic and sectarian fault lines, has been actively involved in trying to mediate an ongoing crisis between Iraq’s central government and the country’s Kurdish minority.
The spokesman, Ali al-Moussawi, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is at the hospital where the president is being treated.
Doctors have not decided whether Talabani will continue to be treated in Baghdad or will be flown to another country for treatment, he said. He was unable to provide further details.
Talabani’s office earlier said the Iraqi president had been rushed to the hospital after showing signs of fatigue on Monday evening, and that he was being treated for an unspecified health problem.
Talabani’s spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.
I will say this much; as someone who was not a huge fan of that war, I really hope that we do not have to end up going back there again. I mean, once was enough, we gave 4000+ of our blood and treasure there, that was enough, if that Country cannot remain stable then let them be victims to their fate.
I just do not believe that America should be the world’s policeman, we cannot afford it, our Military has been run ragged because of it and we need to just allow the Iraqi’s to handle their own issues. Heck, we gave the Iraqi Government enough military equipment to defeat anyone, who dare tries to invade that Country.
Therefore, I believe America’s mission there was truly accomplished, when President Obama announced the end of American’s military presence there. I pray we never need to return again.
Police found a drunk, naked man on a Pontiac street after he apparently stole an acquaintance’s car and crashed it into a tree early Sunday.
A 22-year-old Pontiac woman called police at 2:05 a.m. Sunday claiming the 35-year-old man stole her car as she was letting it warm up in the driveway of a home on West Howard. He then drove it across the street and ran into a tree, she told Oakland County Sheriff’s Office deputies.
Officers found him nearby, drunk and naked, with evidence that he had just been assaulted. He was too drunk to tell them what happened, according to investigator.
Sheriff’s officials say a man opened fire in a San Antonio movie theater parking lot, wounding one person before an officer shot him inside the theater.
Bexar (bayr) County sheriff’s spokesman Louis Antu says the incident started about 9:30 p.m. Sunday when the man fired shots inside a nearby restaurant. It’s not clear what led to the shooting.
Antu says the man headed toward the theater and shot a male in the lot. The age and condition of the victim wasn’t immediately known, but Antu says his injuries did not appear life-threatening.
The gunman entered the theater. Antu says the man fired a shot but struck no one. An off-duty sheriff’s deputy working security then shot the gunman.
The suspect was taken to a hospital and not immediately charged.
Call me paranoid, call me whatever you want to call me; But I am seeing a pattern here.
Upper Middle Class
White
Mentally unstable
Armed to the tooth
Cases in point:
Jared Loughner – Arizona- White – Upper Middle Class family – Nuttier than a snickers bar – Armed to the tooth. Shot Congresswoman Gabby GiffordsJames Eagan Holmes – White – Colorado – Used his money from school to stockpile weapons – mental conditions galore
….and now this dude.
Adam Lanza – Connecticut – Lived with a mother who was getting $298,800 from her husband whom she divorced. – White – Armed to the tooth
He was dark and disturbed, a deeply troubled boy from a wealthy family who unnerved his neighbors and classmates.
Mass murderer Adam Lanza, 20, was a ticking time bomb, people who knew him told the Daily News.
“This was a deeply disturbed kid,” a family insider told the Daily News. “He certainly had major issues. He was subject to outbursts from what I recall.”
Lanza, who friends and officials said suffered from Asperger’s syndrome or a personality disorder, had a tortured mind.
He was socially awkward and at times unstable, but also extraordinarily bright.
“He was smart,” the insider said. “He was like one of these real brainiac computer kind of kids.”
A “longtime” family friend said Lanza had a condition “where he couldn’t feel pain.”
“A few years ago when he was on the baseball team, everyone had to be careful that he didn’t fall because he could get hurt and not feel it,” said the friend. “Adam had a lot of mental problems.”
[….]
And he lived in luxury.
Lanza was living with his devoted mother, Nancy, in the family’s four-bedroom, 3,100-square-foot estate. Nancy Lanza divorced Adam’s father, Peter, in 2008. Peter Lanza, now a vice president of taxes for GE Energy Financial Services, agreed to annual alimony payments that started at $240,000 and would have reached $298,800 in 2015.
Here’s my point. You don’t see mass shootings like this happening in southwest Detroit. You do not see them happening in the black neighborhoods in Detroit, Chicago, or anywhere else. It is always in the upper middle class white neighborhoods. This seems to be a pattern.
The question is, why? No, I am not going all Alex Jones and start wearing the tin-foil hat; but somethings up. Why all of a sudden are these white kids, with a bit of money and a lot of guns and an elevator that does not make it past the ground floor; all of a sudden wigging out, getting guns and killing people?
As for me, yes, I am a white guy, and no, I do not own any guns. I believe in the second amendment and yes, I would like to own one for personal protection. But, this here is what this kid owned and the prices:
Now, you would not see me running around with a Bushmaster .223 for nothing. I want to protect myself, not start a war! See what them guns are going for? Not everyone can afford a gun like that. People like myself, who are either unemployed or barely making enough to get by on; would not be owning guns like this here. They would be lucky to own any guns at all. In other words, guns are not cheap.
My point is this; why are all of a sudden all of this mentally unstable rich white kids getting guns and going on a nut and shooting people? If I were Alex Jones, or some paranoid Conservative, I would say it was Barack Obama on concert with his secret Muslim brothers to try to overthrow the world for sharia law or something like that.
But, I am not. I am just wondering — why this, why all of a sudden?
Could this be what KISS was singing about?
Guns? Flames? Hmmmmm… Gene Simmons is a Conservative. Just sayin’….
WASHINGTON — Rep. Michele Bachmann has built her political career by being outspoken. It has helped her raise tens of millions of dollars and go from obscure back bencher to presidential candidate in three terms.
In the six weeks since the election, Congress has been wrapped up with the series of automatic spending cuts and tax hikes known as the fiscal cliff, Bachmann has gone almost completely silent.
She squeaked back into office last month with a margin of 1 percent in Minnesota’s most Republican congressional district, and ever since has not been on Fox News or the Sunday talk shows.
Bachmann gave one interview recently to “Understanding the Times,” a Maple Grove, Minn.-based Christian radio show that specializes in biblical end of the world prophecies. On the show, Bachmann claimed a cabal of Muslim countries was working with the Obama administration to squash free speech rights around the world.
Bachmann has limited her comments on the fiscal cliff to a few tweets and a handful of postings on her Facebook page.
The woman is a conspiracy theory kook. So much of one, that Michelle Malkin, of all people — had to call her out on her screwball stupidity on the Gardasil nonsense. The woman straight up LIED in the debate about some woman coming up to her and being in tears about telling her about her daughter supposedly being turned into a mental retard because of it or something. Which is something that Republicans are very good at today; lying. The problem is, it never happened, at all. The video footage was reviewed and she lied about it.
Which is the crux of why I cannot stand people like her: Christians, who believe that lying for a good cause is just perfectly fine. Which is so typical of the squishy evangelical Christian world. “We believe in Jesus, but we think it’s okay to lie and drink a little wine, listen to Elvis and wear our skirts above the knee, even though we are married. Did I also mention that we can pray the faggot away too?” In other words: Pat Boone in a skirt.
Let’s not even get into the stupidity that she pulled recently with Hillary’s personal assistant. That little stunt was so bad that even the Republican leadership told the stupid woman to shut her pie hole or else. Yes, she was that bad and yes, that damned dumb.
So, as far as this independent political blogger is concerned, the longer this space case of a femi-nazi twit stays on the down low, the better. I surly will not shed a tear about it and I highly doubt the Republican leadership will either.
Because of crass, idiotic stuff like this right here:
Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee attributed the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in part to restrictions on school prayer and religious materials in the classroom.
“We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools,” Huckabee said on Fox News, discussing the murder spree that took the lives of 20 children and 6 adults in Newtown, CT that morning. “Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?”
Law enforcement has released few details on the alleged gunman, but Huckabee suggested that the separation of church and state may have spurred his rampage.
“[W]e’ve made it a place where we don’t want to talk about eternity, life, what responsibility means, accountability — that we’re not just going to have be accountable to the police if they catch us, but one day we stand before, you know, a holy God in judgment,” Huckabee said. “If we don’t believe that, then we don’t fear that.”
He said those suffering from a crisis from faith should look to God in the community’s response to the violence. But he added that “Maybe we ought to let [God] in on the front end and we wouldn’t have to call him to show up when it’s all said and done at the back end.”
The dude just does not use good sense. I mean, how freaking insensitive can you be?
Basically to the parents of these children’s parents, “God let your Children die, because you don’t subscribe to the same religion I do, and worship the baby Jesus like I do!”
What an asshole. This is one of the good reasons why I really do not go to Church anymore. Because of stupid people in the Church, just like this guy here.
