Via Job’s Anger.

Aside:

As far as I can tell, the only argument against TikTok is that it is owned by a company based in China and that China may somehow be benefiting therefrom. There seems to be no evidence beyond that suspicion that it is any more–or less–vile than any other internet corporate surveillance “social” media outfit.

I wonder what America’s reaction would be if China were to move to ban Facebook and Twitte–er–X and other platforms because they are based in the U. S.?

Interstate trafficking of politeness:

An occupant of one of the vehicles involved in the road rage incident on I-93 north fired a gunshot that wound up striking the Asplundh Electrical Testing truck on the southbound side of the highway. State police said that truck was not involved in the road rage incident.

The man who was driving the truck suffered an injury that state police described as “extremely minor,” and authorities said the man refused medical transport.

As we know, politeness takes practice.

Also, as we know, “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

Yet another child . . . .

Joye said the child’s father told investigators he was shooting a gun with his son outside when the weapon went off.

He was shooting a gun and it went off.

Words fail me.

Yet another “responsible gun owner” discharges his responsibility.

Yet another “responsible gun owner”–oh, heck, you know the rest.

One more time, “negligent” and “accidental” are not synonyms.

And, in more news of the polite . . . .

Francis Wilkinson considers a contradiction.

The National Rifle Association and other vectors of gun culture insist on the primacy of “law-abiding” gun owners. But if lawful gun owners are their focus, why have they waged a decades-long battle against restricting gun sales to criminals and the mentally ill? It’s not an easy question to answer.

An oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” jumps to a conclusion–a wrong conclusion–and concludes an innocent person’s life.

One again, politeness becomes a family affair.

Police say a video shows the 9-year-old girl walking with her father toward the business when she gets shot in the leg.

“You can see her legs buckle. It appears that she’s in pain. It appears that something happens to her leg and we know that she was shot. So those cameras at McDonald’s did capture that,” said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.

But new video obtained by police reportedly shows the father getting out of his car and putting the firearm in his pants when it suddenly discharged.

. . . and another “responsible gun owner” discharges his responsibility.

An investigation by Edison Detective Christian Paone and Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office Detective Jose Rosario determined Robert Novak, 82, Patricia’s husband, was in a first-floor room attempting to clear one of his registered firearms when the weapon fired through the floor, into the basement and struck his wife, according to the prosecutor’s office.

We are a pathetic polity.

Self-politeness is the politest kind. A snippet:

A Mundelein-area teen who initially claimed to be the victim of a drive-by shooting actually shot himself in the leg by accident, authorities said Sunday.

According to the Lake County sheriff’s office, deputies were called to West Rose Avenue near Mundelein at approximately 2:50 p.m. Saturday for a report of a 17-year-old with a gunshot wound to his left leg.

The teen at first told deputies he was standing outside with two friends when a vehicle approached and someone inside the car shot at them.

Let me tell you, brother,
You won’t find one without the other.
