Man attacks New York police officers with a hatchet By Shimon Procupez and Greg Botelho, CNN

New York (CNN) -- A man charged at four New York police officers with a metal hatchet Thursday, hitting two of them at a time of high alert for authorities concerned they might be targeted in the United States and Canada.

The suspect was hiding behind a bus shelter as if he was waiting to attack the officers, according to a law enforcement official, who said it almost appeared as if he was stalking them. The officers were posing for a photo when the man pounced, police Commissioner Bill Bratton said.

He struck one officer in the right arm and another in the head, according to the commissioner. The two officers who weren't hit then shot at and killed the attacker.

The law enforcement official identified the suspect as Zale H. Thompson, who had a criminal record in California and had been discharged from the Navy for misconduct, according to the source.

The police officer who was struck in the head remains in critical but stable condition. The other officer, who is 24, was struck in the arm and was expected to be released soon.

Nice when sudden jihad syndrome is fatal to the jihadist—and only to the jihadist.

And yet...USA Today publishes an opinion column entitled, “Christian extremists pose threat”.

Remind me again how many people have been run over, shot, axed, beheaded, or otherwise murdered by Christians? I’ll wait.

Democrats are going to lose big this cycle.

If the Blue bloods and country clubbers running the RNC maintain the status quo, hatchets are on the horizon.

For them

I’m not sure how ...wise... it is of Skidmore to have someone with those kind of blinders teaching about Christianity.

The author of that unjustly bigoted article is Mary Zeiss Stange.

That name jumped off the screen -- took me a moment to remember why.

I have a book by her along with co-author Carol K. Oyster titled "Gun Women" that is one of the sanest treatments, by academics, of firearms ownership I have ever seen. It seems she drank enough Koolade(r) in the intervening 14 years to congeal her brain like the yoke of a hard-boiled egg.

I guess leftists always revert to their norm...
