Laveen, Arizona (CNN) -- Daniel Adkins knew his son would never leave Lady. So when animal control officers showed up at the door with Daniel Jr.'s yellow lab in tow, "I felt like he was calling out to me for help."
Something was definitely wrong.
Adkins and his wife, Antonia, had searched the neighborhood just hours earlier, tracing their missing son's footsteps down two miles of dusty road to a cluster of strip malls. But they didn't make it as far as the Taco Bell. If they had, they would have come across the flashing police lights and the body of Daniel Jr., lying on the asphalt by the drive-thru window, with Lady by his side.

And when the public ceases to believe in it? Sorry, inalienable rights aren't subject to a vote. When the gov't ceases to follow the Constitution, my obligation to obey ceases as well.
Kathleen Hoague, a top prosecutor in Miami-Dade County also was thrown by Bloom’s decision.
“We feel the judge abused her discretion,” she told the Herald. “The law does not allow for you to use deadly force to retrieve your property.”
If Lawyerette Hoague is correct, Florida law is in need of revision. The Founders considered private property to have semi-sacred status. The also held that is ever property was not accorded such status, Horrid mischief would ensue.”
We removed property rights, and just as the Founders feared, Horrid Mischief was elected.
You know, there was a case like this on Long Island, where the shooter was black and the victim was white.
Some teenagers got into some kind of “facebook fight” and somehow some of the white kids ended up at the black kid’s house. The father of the black kid confronted them outside the house, but on his property. Ultimately he shot and killed one of the kids.
I’m sorry I don’t remember the details well, and I can’t think of any of the names. It did get a lot of press in NYC and LI and it might even have been written up at length in the New Yorker or New York Magazine.
I think the shooter got off with what many saw as a slap on the wrist, but I think he did do some jail time.
I do have it good authority (from someone whose father knew the shooter) that the father was an OK guy.
I’m being a bad reporter here, I know. But I just remembered this story, it’s kind of interesting nobody around NY has recollected it and compared it to the Trayvon Martin incident.
No matter how you slice it, anecdotal evidence is very much a tool of the snake oil salesman.
When we permit the fact that people are not perfect in their decision making to become part of an argument about rights, we are changing the definition of the argument to insure loss.
It is their choice as individuals to arm or not to arm. It is not their option to choose for me.

Everybody knows that “FU” means “Freep You”.
I reread this case from August 2006, and this time, I figured out that the target of this case was not John White, but gun rights, self defense rights, and racial harmony, all things hated by the progressive Marxist elite ruling class public "servants" America and especially New York.
White was convicted of second degree manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon. The weapons charge is a typical police state tactic and what 2A was intended to preempt.
White teenagers accused John White's son of threatening to rape a female acquaintance on Facebook, so five white young men went to White's home in the middle of the night to take White's son with them. (You will note here that the MSM makes it difficult to ascertain that the group was five, they make it sound like three, and they fail to point out that the white teens did not make a report, ask for an investigation, inform the police, call 911, or inform any authorities about their accusations or the intent to follow White's son and confront him at his (White's) home.
The young men deny making racial taunts, threats and threats of violence or intimidation, but UNFORTUNATELY there were no unbiased witinesses, especially unnotified authorities, on the scene.
The prosecutor alleged that White should have called 911 even though he had less than three minutes from hearing the commotion outside to when Daniel Cicciaro was fatally wounded. The prosecutor was less concerned that five men had many hours, even days, to inform 911 of the allegations against White's son or their intent to go to his home and take him with them. The rape threat was later proved to have been made by a person that hacked White's son's Facebook account.
White was convicted by a jury divided until the judge said she would sequester them over the hollidays or until a verdict was reached.
The leftist and statist ruling class could win power on a conviction in this case, as it would:
1) Because of the obvious racism, enrage blacks and drive them further to the DemoRat plantation for "justice".
2)Encourage the further erosion of self defense and castle doctrine law that "almost" got White off.
3)Further demonize the possession of guns by civilians.
4)Promote mob assembly to confront those individuals "meriting" disapproval, at their homes (think union demonstrations at private residences).
I conclude White was sacrificed by the Marxist statist "just us" system for the specific purpose of increasing the power of New York State.
I wonder if the Whites and the whites continue to vote DemoRat? I'll bet they do.
That’s the case, very good for finding it. You’d think I’d remember the black guy had been named “White”, but all I could really remember was the white kid was Italian-American.
The man is foolish to align himself with the Nation of Islam, that is for sure. But I’m sure they prey on people who are in bad situations.
The right to keep and bear arms is an absolute.
That would leave open to legal restraints the use
of arms. Thus laws governing where and when a
person may fire a weapon, under what circumstances
a person may shoot another etc. are legitimate
areas of legislative activity. The problem of
course is the agenda driven liberal viewpoint that
conflates keep and bear with use.

Yep, as do Marxist agitators, Communist agitators, MSM agitprop publishers, DemoRat plantation overseers,...
These are all professional agitators of discontent tricking black Americans into supporting the very people who will oppress and eventually kill them, while dividing them from the majority of whites that could care less about race, but a lot about statistics, 2A, self defense, and liberty in America.
It is true. The left brings nothing but degradation and destruction where ever it goes.
They’ve helped the blacks just like they’ve helped women.
I think we’ve just begun to really fight back, so I have some hope.
But, I still have a lot of aggravation.
It took me along time to see just exactly how the Marxists do it, they were very smooth for a long time.
Now they are much more obvious, and I hope their targets will be able to see through the lies.
The free world's fate depends on that.
No doubt.
The Daniel Adkins shooting in Laveen AZ sounds like pretty week justification.
