Free Constitution has noticed something fishy about a Google search.

However, when I checked it, the "original context" url has changed.  This is a transparent lie, because the link to "see full-size image" is obviously at Indymedia.

And by backtracking into the parent directory, you get to check out all kinds of other offensive and inflammatory pictures in their "uploads" directory.

Is Google aiding Indymedia in spreading lies?

As I said in the comment I left at Free Constitution, this image search is something we all need to keep an eye on and see who Indymedia decides to target next.

I almost don't want to put tags on this, even though it's the right thing to do, because I know it's going to draw the freaks.  Oh well, here goes...

UPDATE:  The link now points back to Free Constitution again, at 7:35 AM April 9.

UPDATE II:  It's changed again (5:50 AM April 10), back to digitalbrownshirt.blogspot.com, which is where it was the first time I looked at it.

Lefties might want to check out my latest auction for a Pager Pal holster that I bought for experimental purposes when I had some extra cash to blow (once, long ago).  It has been used very little so if you've been curious about these, here's your chance to get one cheap.  No bids yet, but there are several watchers.  Starting at $19.99.

The auction is here.  It ends about 8:30 AM Sunday central time.

ADDENDUM:  I have just started a new auction for a fanny pack, if anyone is in the market for one.  Link here.

My son and I cleaned up some handguns this morning.  He labored over that Single Six magnum cylinder for about 30 minutes, and did a pretty good job.  But I think I need to get some better solvent.  We also reviewed the difference between single action and double action and went over proper gun handling--even for guns that I had just made sure were unloaded.


We did a couple of evil black tactical-type pistols too, but who wants to see pictures of those?

UPDATE:  Well, bummer.  Looks like this is the last up-close picture I ever take with my camera.  The tiny switch that flips it into "macro" mode broke, and it doesn't look like it will be repairable.  So although I can still use it for people & landscapes, close-ups like this are no more to be.

So I've finally found the original letter which provoked more letters that I mentioned in these two posts.

This letter may be read here.

This last Thursday night, as I was studying for my economics exam (OK, I was actually watching CSI, but whatever) the sound of out-of-sync chanting reached my window. When I checked outside my window, I realized it was the Take Back the Night Rally, this campus’s annual one-night stand against violence toward women. As the marchers held candles and chanted such catchy tunes as “I will not be silent so you can be violent,” I realized the hypocrisy of several of the groups participating in this march, as well as the university as a whole. I am speaking of the denial of a woman’s most basic right, her right to self-defense.

Candles and chants.  That's what is supposed to stop murder and rape, according to the people indicated in the other two posts.  Candles and chants.

UPDATE:  I am also finding it curious that, although this original letter was published a day before the first reply, it still hasn't turned up in my regular Google search, but both replies have.  I only found it when it was linked to by FirearmNews.com

From The Item - South Carolina

And the winner of the AK-47 assault rifle given away by Clemson University's conservative newspaper is ... state Rep. Thad Viers, R-Myrtle Beach.

Viers was in the woods near the Anderson-Greenville county line on Friday getting the required range training that came with the prize.

"It was great today," Viers said. "I got the NRA-certified instructor, he showed me how to use it. I never shot one before.

"It was one of those guns that you've heard a lot about in movies and stuff and now they're legal to own. This is going to be my sixth gun."

The 28-year-old lawmaker didn't actually win the drawing for the rifle. Rather the first two winners rejected the prize, and the third winner gave it to Viers, who had to pay sales tax on the gun valued at $550. Viers plans to add the AK-47 to his collection of pistols and shot guns.

More details on the people who should have won here.

According to The Monitor of McAllen, Texas, Hidalgo County District Attorney Rene Guerra's re-election has been made difficult by a couple of cases he summarily decided on.  One of which was a violation of the law by State Senator Juan Hinojosa.

Another case Guerra has had to repeatedly explain is his decision not to prosecute State Sen. Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, after the McAllen Democrat tried to board a plane with a 9mm handgun in his briefcase at McAllen-Miller International Airport in October.

Hinojosa, who has a concealed handgun license, said he forgot he had placed the gun in his briefcase days before the incident.

McAllen police arrested the senator, and took him before Municipal Judge Kathleen Henley, who dismissed the charge and let the senator free.

However, McAllen Mayor Richard Cortez requested McAllen police continue the investigation and turn the case over to the U.S. Attorney’s office and the District Attorney’s office.

Before a grand jury could review it, though, Guerra dismissed the case, explaining he did could not prove Hinojosa had the intent to break the law.

State law requires that prosecutors prove a person "intentionally, knowingly or recklessly possesses or goes with a firearm," or other illegal weapon into a prohibited place, such as an airport. Known as the "place weapons prohibited" violation, it makes it a third-degree felony that is punishable by two to 10 years in prison and an optional $10,000 fine.

The grand jury does not make legal decisions; rather, their purpose is to decide if the case has enough merit for trial, Guerra said.

"People still don’t understand the senator’s case is a question of law, not of fact. Grand jurys don’t decide law," he said.

Guerra points out that the international airport is also governed by federal law. If he made the wrong decision in not prosecuting Hinojosa, he questions why the federal government has not arrested the senator for a federal crime.

"The truth is they are bound by the same law as we are on criminal intent."

The truth is he got off because he's one of the special people/ruling elite/whatever you want to call them.  You know, Rene, just like you.

Note the paragraph that I emphasized above.  I find this particularly interesting, because in a statement at the time, Hinojosa said this:

"I am relieved that the Grand Jury chose not to prosecute in this unfortunate incident where I absent-mindedly carried a licensed, concealed weapon through airport security. I am well aware, however, that many will see this as special treatment. I have read, and listened, to the many letters to the editors and comments on talk radio, and I understand where people are coming from. I have, though, heard from ordinary citizens, people I did not know personally, that they believe the system worked as it should � and that our heightened national security efforts were effective and the judicial system took its time in looking at the incident and making their judgment. I want to thank the citizens of South Texas for their understanding and patience during this unfortunate incident."

But...but wait.  According to Rene Guerra, it never went to the grand jury.  He just dismissed it all on his own.  You guys need to get together and get your stories straight.  Just to keep the ignorant peons from getting too worked up, you know.

Also notice that I emphasized the word "reckless."  If I, or you, had mistakenly forgotten a gun was in a briefcase and tried to board an airplane, do you think that would not be called "reckless?"
