I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news. I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.
According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.
Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.
The arrested the guy the next day.
What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.
This case seems silly to me. The dog toy is clearly not mistakeable for the real deal and has a disclaimer.
The Roberts court is not done yet...
I agree, and really don't understand why Jack Daniel's thought this necessary. And, I agree with Mr. Turley that, depending on how SCOTUS rules, this might affect all parody speech.
Democrat justice reform....in Colorado, escaping parole for most is now a misdemeanor "unauthorized abscense ".
"One of the bill’s provisions watered down the penalties for escape. Notably, it created a less serious offense of “unauthorized absence” to replace the state’s escape law for convicts who flee parole, halfway houses and work-release programs. For prisoners who were doing time for all but violent or “serious” crimes, the legislation made it a mere misdemeanor to escape parole, a halfway house or work release. Previously, it was a felony.
Perhaps Herod and Gonzales felt parolees simply have better things to do with their lives than serve out their sentences or repay their debt to society. When you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go, right? So what if it jeopardizes public safety?"

HOUSTON — The Houston Independent School District canceled classes on Monday, due to a citywide boil water notice.
All HISD schools, offices and facilities will be closed for the day. HISD isn't the only district closing.
The boil water notice is in effect for the entire city as well as for West University residents who live on Law Street.
The city said the water pressure at the East Water Purification Plant (2342 Federal Road) dropped below the state's required minimum of 20 psi during a power outage on Sunday at 10:30 a.m.
The city tweeted that the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality approved Houston Public Work's plan to test water samples. Testing will begin Monday morning.
Yikes, power was lost to 3 water treatment plants. Texas needs to invest in it's energy infrastructure.
SCOTUS has agreed to hear what could quite possibly be one of the most consequential cases [ETA: insert sarcastic font] of the year.
ETA: While it's highly unlikely to be one of its most significant cases, if SCOTUS upholds the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, it wiil be interesting to see if this might affect other currently protected parody speech.
How does accepting such a trivial case fit into this group of theocrats agenda? IMHO, this IS a very consequential case and I'm getting edgy already thinking about how this group will dance on both sides of the argument. Two days ago I was listening to an evening Fox radio show in which a man stated that: Illegal aliens were allowed to vote in the 2020 California election and secondly, that people voted repeated times. If you dig into the story, both statements are untrue. Illegals were able to vote in a local San Franciso election which was the little nugget that provided the seed for the big lie. Does the argument for free speech extend to blatent lies? I do not pretend to have an answer but look forward to hearing the arguments.

This SCOTUS doesn't appear to value individual freedoms and rights to privacy as much as I do.
"Desperate migrants are still lining up overnight outside New York City’s ICE headquarters in wintry temperatures — only to be turned away by security guards because the backlogged agency has already reached its apparent daily quota to process them.
“If you want ICE, you have to come very early in the morning — like 3 in the morning. After 500 people, they are finished,” a security guard told The Post outside 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan on Monday."

I think they are totally erratic and schizophrenic on the subject of individual freedoms. The baker who didn't want to produce a cake for a gay couple won his case. I don't think this court has the intellectual cache to porifice out the meaning of "individual freedom and rights to privacy". Why do you think they even took the Jack Daniel's case on? Where do they want this thing to go and do they actually understand the consequences of whatever decision you believe that they will make? I'm really in the dark here on this one.
