Exercising The Right
The Hypocrisy Is Rich!
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg used his ample fortune to run for president, but he encountered a lot of resistance from rank-and-file Democrats who thought his prior positions were not sufficiently progressive. But one area where Bloomberg was always walking in lockstep with the Left was gun control, which he has constantly promoted. AWR Hawkins, writing at Breitbart News on February 3, reminded his readers about Bloomberg’s double standard on guns. “Billionaire Democrat presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg is a staunch proponent of gun control for America with one caveat — he gets to spend his days surrounded by good guys with guns to keep him safe. Bloomberg’s use of armed guards has been seized upon again and again by gun rights supporters through the years. They point to the guards in an attempt to show his habit of pushing laws that would deny self-defense tools to poor families while allowing Bloomberg to benefit from being protected by men with firearms.”
Hawkins explained how Bloomberg has an entire security detail that works for him while he continues to “push gun control for average Americans…. But Bloomberg moves through life surrounded by good guys with guns; by men who are armed to be sure he is safe as he goes about his daily business.”
Golden Stop Was Robber’s Final Stop
The Signal reported out of Santa Clarita Valley in California on February 13 about an attempted robbery of a liquor store that resulted in a close-range shootout. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Robert Westphal told the Signal that the incident occurred shortly after 8 p.m. when a suspect ran into the Golden Stop liquor store and pointed a handgun at the storeowner working behind the counter. Thankfully for the storeowner, he had his own loaded pistol easily retrievable and was able to pull it out and open fire on the armed robber. Detectives investigating the crime say that the two men exchanged multiple rounds shooting at each other within the store. The suspect was hit multiple times in the upper torso, and the owner was only hit once, in a “lower appendage.” Surveillance video from the store shows the owner crawling from the store before responding officers were able to help him.
