But, those who somehow think guns can be taken out of the hands of bad guys, also don’t want gays — or anyone — to be able to defend themselves. http://www.10news.com/news/craigslist-ad-threatens-orlando-style-massacre-in-san-diego-061416
Clarity
Which head of which state said this (today)? In Orlando, a terrorist walks into a nightclub and murders nearly 50 human beings. Sons and daughters, brothers and sisters cut down in cold blood. They did nothing wrong. They were dancing with friends, they were enjoying music with loved ones. Why did the terrorist murder them? Because he was driven by …
Orlando police repeat the gross ineptitude of San Diego cops in the “McDonald’s massacre”
There is a sad parallel between the Orlando massacre and San Diego’s “McDonald’s massacre” of 1984. Lessons were learned from the McDonald’s massacre, and then ignored by police brass in Orlando. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Ysidro_McDonald%27s_massacre To review, a white racist who hated Mexicans entered the McDonald’s in San Ysidro (very close to the Mexican border) and started shooting. And shooting. And shooting. The …

Homosexuals Slaughtered in Orlando by Islamofascist
I woke up, early this morning, and read about a massacre in an Orlando night club. As information became more readily available, my wildest speculation proved true–an Islamofascist staged the mass murder in a gay night club. His motive seems to be anger at two men kissing in Miami. Let that sink in. This didn’t surprise me and it doesn’t …
Kristin Gaspar Is Going To Win Supervisor
Shady Dave Roberts is on the ropes. He shouldn’t be. Increased Democratic registration almost handed the District One race to Barbara Bry (we’re holding our breath while provisional ballots are counted this week), delivered the Republican candidates in the 52nd Congressional District a crushing blow, and nearly embarrassed a popular, long-serving, high-ranking Republican Congressman in a safe district. Yet, with all …
A Left Turn for the Union Tribune
Have you noticed a decidedly left-leaning feel to editorials in the Union-Tribune lately? The biggest “urban legend” in San Diego is the notion that the UT has been Conservative. Far from it, the UT has been Establishment. But now the UT is Establishment with a tilt to the Left. I asked newly installed UT editorial director Matt Hall about this. …

Dave Roberts is right — It’s just beginning
County Supervisor Dave Roberts takes pride in that 60 percent of primary voters chose someone else. For a sitting incumbent Supe, this means he’s in big trouble. From Roberts… Many, many thanks to all! I just wanted to send you a quick note to express my heartfelt appreciation. After many months of hard work, it was truly gratifying to see …

Is it illegal to take a ballot selfie? The answer may surprise you.
Is it illegal to take a picture of your own ballot? As a free speech lawyer, I get asked this question every election day. In short, no. It’s not illegal. Look closely at the articles that say otherwise. They’re either completely devoid of supporting information (like this CW6 piece), or they concede that the laws they’re complaining about have never been enforced …

Union Tribune foolishly calls for San Diegans to spoil their ballots
“Send a message to the GOP and Trump by writing in Ronald Reagan for president.” That’s the crux of the Union-Tribune’s June 2nd editorial. It’s also foolish and irresponsible advice, especially from a newspaper. Under California law, write-in votes aren’t counted unless they’re cast for certain qualified write-in candidates. To become a qualified write-in candidate, you have to fill out forms and submit …
