Justice For Baby “Bou Bou” – Georgia Authorities Begin To Respond To Public Outrage
Via Susan
The Habbersham County officials, in particular Sheriff Joey Terrell, have been all over the map with their justifications that led to a 19-month-old toddler clinging to life as a result of a severely flawed 3am “No Knock” SWAT raid.
If you have followed this story from the beginning you’ll notice the familiar pattern of false stories which initially surface by police now being entirely contradicted. Check out this ABC report with about a half dozen inconsistencies noted from initial justification.
The terrorized family now has legal counsel after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation previously denied to listen to their pleas for an investigation. And friends have put together a donation site to support the family in their immediate needs HERE.

Libertarian Candidate for Governor Chris Holbrook Arrested For Gathering Signatures
Lake Calhoun, MN- For months Benswann.com has reported on the uphill battle Libertarian candidates face when trying to obtain ballot access, including Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Charlie Earl being kicked off the ballot three times in this election cycle or Florida Gubernatorial candidate Adrian Wyllie being arrested for driving without a license only a week after he was invited to take part in the states one gubernatorial debate.
But it is Minnesota Gubernatorial candidate Chris Holbrook who may go down as facing the most outlandish attack on his attempt to get onto the ballot.
Holbrook was arrested Thursday afternoon at Lake Calhoun while gathering signatures to gain ballot access.

I-95 Memorial Confederate Battle Flag #2 Raised in Fredericksburg
The Virginia Flaggers are pleased to announce the raising of the 2nd I-95 Memorial Battle Flag in the Commonwealth. A 20’ x 30’ Army of Tennessee version of the Confederate Battle Flag was raised this morning on an 82’ pole in Stafford County, just north of Fredericksburg, in a small, private ceremony that included a Confederate Color Guard, Rifle Salute, Invocations, and historical presentations
The flag will fly in honor of all Confederate soldiers, and specifically to remember the nearly 246,000 Confederate soldiers who fought in separate battles in the vicinity of Fredericksburg (1862), Chancellorsville (1863), Spotsylvania (1864) and the Wilderness (1864).

Mexico to legalize vigilantes fighting drug cartel
Via watchful
Dated.
Mexico's government plans on
Saturday to begin demobilizing a vigilante movement of assault
rifle-wielding ranchers and farmers that formed in the western state of
Michoacan and succeeded in largely expelling the Knights Templar cartel
when state and local authorities couldn't.
The ceremony
in the town of Tepalcatepec, where the movement began in February 2013,
will involve the registration of thousands of guns by the federal
government and an agreement that the so-called "self-defense" groups
will either join a new official rural police force or return to their
normal lives and acts as voluntary reserves when called on.
The government will go town by town to organize and recruit the new rural forces.
"This is a process of giving legal standing to the self-defense forces," said vigilante leader Estanislao Beltran.
But
tension remained on Friday in the coastal part of the state outside the
port of Lazaro Cardenas, where other "self-defense" groups plan to
continue as they are, defending their territory without registering
their arms. Vigilantes against the demobilization have set up roadblocks
in the coastal town of Caleta.

‘I Will Not Obey Orders for Americans to Surrender Their Arms’
Via Cousin John
Thousands of activist gun owners, angered over Connecticut’s Orwellian “Gun Violence Prevention and Child Safety Act,” gathered at the State Capitol in Hartford on a cooler-than-predicted Saturday in early April.
They were fed up with opportunistic politicians exploiting the Newtown tragedy at the expense of freedom, and they were furious and defiant that many owners of semiautomatic rifles and standard-capacity rifle and handgun magazines, who had defied a registration deadline, were now considered criminals.
To my surprise, I had been invited to give the keynote address. I’m not from that state and my dealings with Connecticut Citizens Defense League, the group organizing the rally, had been mostly internet-based. Perhaps one reason for the invitation was a “GUNS Magazine” column I’d written a few months earlier defending Constitution State gun owners, some of whom lined up late to register their magazines and rifles before the mandated deadline.
When I stood to speak in Hartford, what I saw was a crowd fired up and united in opposing and working to roll back the gun ban. Judging from the vocal responses, the assembled Connecticut gun owners were supportive of calls to work within the system to elect the right candidates and defeat the wrong ones, in both parties, and to appeal to the courts, as CCDL and NRA are doing in Shew v Malloy.
Also, the rally gave me a chance to learn some new things firsthand, and to reinforce some assumptions I brought to the event. Here are five areas that stand out:

After Georgia’s Mountain Judicial Circuit Narcotics Criminal Investigation and Suppression Team burned a toddler with a flashbang grenade during a drug raid on Wednesday, Habersham County Sheriff Joey Terrell told Access North Georgia:
“The person I blame in this whole thing is the person selling the drugs,” Terrell said. “Wanis Thonetheva, that’s the person I blame in all this. They are no better than a domestic terrorist, because they don’t care about families – they didn’t care about the family, the children living in that household – to be selling dope out of it, to be selling methamphetamine out of it. All they care about is making money.

Sonic, Chili’s heed Moms call, tell customers to leave guns at home
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is stringing together victories on the open-carry front, convincing restaurants and fast-food establishments to tell customers to leave their firearms at home.
The latest to do so include Chili’s Grill & Bar and Sonic, both of which announced on Friday that they would prefer if gun owners not bring firearms into store locations.
A Sonic spokesperson said, “…we’re asking that customers refrain from bringing guns onto our patios or into our indoor dining areas.”
Likewise, a Brinker International/Chili’s Grill & Bar spokesperson echoed the sentiment.
