He got stabby, now the cops are looking for him.
And who would take a stab at two people?
The same sort of person who would be convicted of arson and felony animal cruelty.

I guess just getting a job is too industrious for this crook.
And who steals computer tablets from Target?
Pretty much who you’d expect to.

Oh, dear. Another black man killed by cops? This time in Sanford, NC?
Oh, dear. The cops say he was a criminal, while his friends all say what a nice guy he was.
His record says otherwise. Maybe that’s why we aren’t seeing riots in Sanford.

I’ve been shooting some IDPA matches locally. But instead of following the general trend of considering the IDPA match to be my practice, I asked a friend, Ben from Triangle Tactical Podcast, to teach me how to dry fire practice. He suggested three drills that I can do at home for a total of 15 minutes. He suggested that I do it at least three times a week, but more would be better.
Here’s a photo of the “trash can tower” I’m using to simulate “cover” to shoot around.
And you can see that I really don’t have 10 yards inside my house, so I’m using some really inexpensive 1/3rd scale IDPA targets sold by Ben Stoeger. At $10 and free shipping, it’s the cheapest training you’ll ever get in handgun shooting. Instead of having to stand at 10 yards from the targets, I can stand 10 feet away. And anyone can find 10 feet in a hallway. And if you really want to get spendy, you can buy some dummy bullets to put in your magazines so that the weight is correct. NEVER use real bullets for this.
So, how do I know it works? Because I just finished shooting the IDPA match for the month. The previous match I shot, I came in 37 out of 49.
This time I’m #7 out of 16. But more than that, I could see how I was shooting differently. Instead of looking at the targets to see how I was hitting, I just watched my sights, pulled the trigger when they were on the target, and then moved on to the next target. I rarely had a problem. Didn’t hit a single “no shoot.” Wasn’t down very many points at all, in fact.
Dry fire works. It’s cheap. And you don’t even need to leave your house to do it.
Thanks, Ben!

Ordinary citizens do not shoot at cops who pull them over.
“It came in through the windshield first and hit a radar device mounted on the dash,” Harrison said.
He’s 18 years old, so we can rule out him having a valid NC CHP for the handgun he was using to try to kill the Deputy.
He’s a menace. He can’t follow the rules either on the outside or inside the prison. He’s made his choice. We should make a choice to see that he’s never in a position to harm anyone else again.

People don’t compartmentalize as well as they generally think they do. Here’s a case in point.
So what do I mean?
People who don’t feel any need to follow the law are more likely to get themselves into situations where other people get hurt.

It’s Hatfields and McCoys out in Hickory, NC.
Catawba County Sheriff’s Office said a man was shot over an ongoing land dispute between two people.
Read it and see if you can see if anything makes sense.
Or if it’s just another criminal being a criminal.
