When it rains, it pours, and it’s thunder and lightning, and tumultuous rain in the NFL right now.
A grand jury has indicted Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson with reckless or negligent injury to a child, and will not play in this Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.
George Zimmerman is at it again. He has a gun so he thinks it’s all good to go around threatening to kill other people. Remember Trayvon Martin? Zimmerman walked free when he murdered Trayvon, so with gun in hand, look out!
Matthew Apperson called 911 on Tuesday morning and told the dispatcher that he was driving his Honda Accord on Lake Mary Boulevard, made a U-turn and headed west-bound when a Honda Ridgeline truck pulled alongside and someone inside rolled down his window.
“George Zimmerman was the driver, and they were threatening to kick my ___ and to shoot me,” Apperson told the dispatcher.
Apperson said he pulled into a Circle K to find a phone so he could call for help when the Ridgeline made a maneuver to block him and “almost hit my car.”
Zimmerman “said he was going to shoot me dead,” Apperson told the dispatcher.
According to a police report, a store surveillance video showed that as Apperson was walking into the store, the Ridgeline left.
Apperson said he did not see any weapons in Zimmerman’s truck, but police discovered that Apperson was carrying a gun. He has a concealed weapons permit, according to the report.
Two days later, Apperson called Lake Mary police again to report that he believed Zimmerman had followed him and was watching his movements.
Police investigated, found Zimmerman in his Ridgeline nearby, pulled him over and questioned him. He told them he had a doctor’s appointment in a nearby building.
They took a handgun from him but returned it near the end of their eight-minute exchange, according to an officer’s body video camera and patrol car dash camera.
In Utah, the law allows teachers to carry concealed weapons in schools and these teachers are not required to disclose that they are packing and administrators are forbidden from asking that teacher if they’re carrying.
Utah’s law also requires that teachers must keep their guns on them at all times, even in the bathroom. So when Michelle Ferguson-Montgomery went into the bathroom at the Westbrook Elementary School and a shot was later heard, the first thought was that she had shot herself. But it seems that her gun went off, shattering the toilet and causing fragments of the toilet to injure her Second Amendment, right on her leg.
The teacher was taken to a Salt Lake hospital and listed in good condition. The authorities are investigating.
September 11th, 2001 went down in history as a time when our political leaders dropped the ball. They were asleep at the wheel and this country paid and is still paying a heavy price for their failure to do their jobs.
That attack, a coordinated effort between multiple terrorists, brought down the Twin Towers in New York city, ending the lives of 2605 people. Another plane hit the Pentagon killing 125 more and yet another plane crashed in Pennsylvania killing all on board. In total, 2,977 people died that day, including the passengers on all the planes.
To add insult to injury, the Republican administration once again took its eye off the ball when, instead of going after the perpetrators of the terrorists attack, they went after oil in Iraq instead. Another 4486 American troops gave their lives for this oil, tens of thousands more sacrificed limbs for the Republican’s war and hundreds of thousands Iraqi civilians died, while the mastermind of the terrorists attack that forever changed the lives of every American on September 11th, that man – Osama Bin Laden, walked free. At one point in his presidency, George Bush was even caught saying that he was not concerned about Osama bin Laden anymore.
All that happened on the Republican watch, or should I say on the Republican nap. It wasn’t until a Democrat, Barack Obama, came into power that we developed a strategy, we refocused our efforts and eventually found and kill Osama Bin Laden.
So I was once again, utterly shocked when this latest Gallup poll came out saying that Americans prefer Republicans when it comes to fighting terrorism.
According to Gallup, 55% of Americans choose the GOP on this dimension, while 32% choose the Democratic Party. This is the widest Republican advantage in Gallup’s history of asking this question since 2002.
