More than 60 people were shot during the July Fourth weekend, and more than 1,100 have been shot in Chicago since January 1

The City of Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws in this country. That hasn’t stopped the criminals and gangbangers from shooting up the city. During the July Fourth weekend (Friday through Sunday), more than 60 people were shot, with at least nine killed. At least 14 people were shot during one 12 hour overnight period.
Since January 1, more than 1,100 people have been shot in Chicago.
So how is that strict gun control working out for Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s Chicago? Very well indeed! The crooks and gangbangers are controlling the guns. The only problem is that with only nine killed out of 60 people shot, the shooters are badly in need of some serious practice time at shooting ranges.
UPDATE: The latest figures for the City of Chicago show that between 4 p.m. Thursday and 3:30 a.m. Monday, a total of 82 people were shot with 14 of them killed.

IN 1920, H. L. MENCKEN PREDICTED ‘THE WHITE HOUSE WILL BE ADORNED BY A DOWNRIGHT MORON’
BarkGrowlBite | July 6, 2014
In his book “On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe” which was published in 1920, H. L. Mencken wrote:
The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men [who can most adeptly disperse the notions that his mind is a virtual vacuum]. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
By golly, it sure looks like the prediction of that renowned essayist and satirist has finally come about. Jimmy Carter came close, but it took Barack Obama to fulfill Mencken’s prediction.

A FARMER AND HIS MULE
An old backwoods farmer had a wife who nagged him unmercifully. From morning ‘til night she was always complaining about something. The only time he got any relief was when he was out plowing with his old mule. He plowed a lot.
One day, when he was out plowing, his wife brought him lunch in the field. He drove the old mule into the shade, sat down on a stump, and began to eat his lunch. Immediately, his wife began nagging him again.
Complain, nag, complain, nag - it just went on and on. All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out with both hind feet, caught her smack in the back of the head. Killed her dead on the spot.
At the funeral several days later, the minister noticed something rather odd. When a woman mourner would approach the old farmer, he would listen for a minute, then nod his head in agreement; but when a male mourner approached him, he would listen for a minute, then shake his head in disagreement.
This was so consistent, the minister decided to ask the old farmer about it. So after the funeral, the minister spoke to the old farmer, and asked him why he nodded his head and agreed with the women, but always shook his head and disagreed with all the men.
The old farmer said, 'Well, the women would come up and say something about how nice my wife looked, or how pretty her dress was, so I'd nod my head in agreement.'
'And what about the men?' the minister asked.
The farmer replied, 'They wanted to know if the mule was for sale.'

DRUNK OKLAHOMA WOMAN LEADS COPS ON HIGH-SPEED CHASE TO JAIL SHE PREFERS
Luz Avilla pulled over when she was sure she would be locked up in Caddo County and not in the Grady County jail
BarkGrowlBite | July 3, 2014
I hate to think what the conditions are like in the Grady County jail to cause this woman to flee at speeds of 90 to 100 mph until she crossed the county line.
CHICKASHA POLICE CHASE WOMAN INTO CADDO COUNTY
She told the cops she did not want to pull over because she wanted to go to jail in Caddo County

CHICKASHA, Oklahoma -- An Oklahoma woman leads officers on a high speed chase by swerving all over the road and it was all caught on camera.
Luz Avilla, 34, told Chickasha Police she didn't stop because she had a preference as to which county jail she wanted to go to.
Dash cam video shows a car traveling about 5-10 miles over the speed limit, but what happens as the officer pulls out after the vehicle, is when things really start to get out of hand.
"Instead of pulling over, the driver accelerated to speeds approximately 90 to 100 miles per hour," said Shannon McClain, Chickasha Police. "When you're doing 90 miles an hour and you're weaving all over the road, just the slightest movements by those other vehicles could be catastrophe."
Just a few miles from the county line, the driver pulled over and told the officer why she took off.
"Apparently the driver did not want to go to jail in Grady County," said McClain. "She wanted to go to jail in Caddo County was her explanation as to why she did not pull over."
Avilla may have stopped the car, but she didn't want to get out of it. The officer yelled at the suspect to get out of the vehicle, but had no luck. He pulled out his gun.
Back up officers were called to the scene and one by one, all the suspects got out of the vehicle. Several people were taken to jail. Avila is facing several charges including DUI and eluding police.

YOU CANNOT FOOL A ROBOTIC LIE DETECTOR
A father buys a robotic lie detector that slaps people when they lie. He decides to test it out at dinner one night.
The father asks his son what he did that afternoon.
The son says, “I did some schoolwork.” The robot slaps the son. The son says, “OK, OK. I was at a friend’s house watching movies.”
The father asks, “What movie did you watch?”
The son says, “Toy Story.” The robot slaps the son. “OK, OK. We were watching porn.”
“What? At your age I didn’t even know what porn was.” The robot slaps the father.
The mother laughs and says, ”Well, he certainly is your son!” The robot slaps the mother.

GUN DEALER’S HOLSTER DEMONSTRATION WOUNDS WOMAN IN THIGH
A gun dealer at a Pennsylvania gun show demonstrated drawing a gun from a holster when - oops, a really big oops – the pistol went off, wounding a woman in her thigh
BarkGrowlBite | July 1, 2014
There was a little bit of excitement Saturday at the fairgrounds in Bloomsburg, Pa. A woman got shot by a gun dealer at the Eagle Arms Gun Show which was taking place at the fairgrounds.
Geoffrey Hawk, 44, of Warminster, Pa., was demonstrating how to draw a gun from one of the holsters he was attempting to sell. When he drew the gun out of the holster – kapow – it went off. Unfortunately for Krista Gearhart, 25, she got shot in the thigh. Fortunately for Krista, the bullet missed her arteries and thigh bone. Unfortunately for Geoffrey, he is facing a reckless endangerment charge for which he could receive a maximum sentence of two years and a $5,000 fine. .
Bloomsburg police Officer Brad Sharrow accused Hawk of displaying "gross negligence." Hawk, a licensed firearms instructor, claims he has held the same demonstration about 20 times without mishap. He thought that, unbeknownst to him, someone loaded the gun after he had set it aside unloaded while he ran background checks on several gun buyers.
Krista was taken to a hospital where she was treated and released. She says she feels sorry for Hawk and is disappointed that, because of the shooting, she was unable to purchase a Ruger she wanted.
As a firearms instructor, Geoffrey gets a flunking grade. He forgot the cardinal rule of gun safety: All guns are always loaded!
