Police in Sallisaw fatally shoot knife-wielding man
A knife-wielding man was fatally shot by a police officer in eastern Oklahoma early Saturday, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation reported.
An officer in Sallisaw was investigating a report of a man walking on U.S. 64 and jumping in front of traffic about 5 a.m. in the city near the Arkansas state line about 150 miles (241 kilometers) east of Oklahoma City, the OSBI said.
The man threatened the officer with a knife and the officer shot him when he refused to drop the weapon, according to the OSBI.

Tanasia Kenney
A woman says she was being followed when she shot a man multiple times in Atlanta, according to Georgia authorities.The shooting occurred just before midnight Sunday, May 15, in the 3500 block of Peachtree Road in the city’s Buckhead community, Atlanta police said in a news release.
The woman told police she was working as a ride-share driver and had just dropped off a passenger on Cheshire Bridge Road when the man, identified as 21-year-old Tyriq Qwadere Wiggins-Younger, tried blocking her with his car.
Wiggins-Younger followed as she sped off, police said, eventually causing her to lose control and crash. “Fearing for her safety,” the woman fired multiple shots when she says the man got out and approached her. Wiggins-Younger was taken to a hospital for treatment.
No other injuries were reported, police said.

There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws. — AYN RAND

‘Ed, oh ‘Ed, what have we done to you to deserve such an eye and mind jarring wakeup?!
Not only do you present us with a Tupperware pistol, but in that-that-that G-d awful color scheme?! Truly a Fudd Crap if there ever was one!! Gak! Pass the eye bleach, STAT! Where’s the ice pick?!
I like my Glock 17 but that two tone pimp pistol is nasty ugly, even by Atlanta standards.
If you’re thinking about upgrading a Glock, better to spend the extra bucks on a Kimber Micro Nine.
Anyone looking at the Glock 42 IMO should also give the Ruger LCP family (LCP, LCP II, and LCP MAX) a look. They’re smaller (though the LCP MAX is only 0.01″ shorter than the Glock 42), lighter, and have the same or larger mag capacity (the MAX magazine holds 10 rounds). And I’m pretty sure they’re similarly reliable while being less expensive.
Pretty sure Ruger’s LCPs and LCRs have graced the Daily FGS in the past, Hondo. Didn’t seem to make Gun Bunny very happy, though.
Which is just bonus.

Once again, class…..your daily lesson. Knife….gunfight…..DON’T!
I don’t know if taking place in Oklahoma has anything to do with this……
Well, there is a coffee mug… sorta like “Cleanup on Aisle 3!”
A “good shootin’, m’am”, to the lady ride-share driver. Lots of stress, yet she managed to hit her target.
My condolences to her for wrecking her car. Double loss of money. First, out-of-pocket to pay for repairs. Second, loss of income while waiting for car to be repaired.
I wonder if a civil lawsuit against Tyriq would be worthwhile? At least seize his hoopte, possibly to use it as a temporary ride-share vehicle. If not that, part it out for replacement income. Plus, that would leave Tyriq without a vehicle to stalk women with. A win-win.
Speaking of “Tyriq”, Claw, have you been doing regular PMCS on the Whiz Wheel? You’re up to give us a score on this “Tyriq” (whose full name I’m NOT going to try to peck out on a kindle touchpad). If I see smoke on the horizon, I’ll know it’s from the Whiz Wheel working overtime.
“Tyriq Qwadere” (where’s the U’s after Q’s?) spins up a DAM/WRT score of 264 on the always FMC Whiz Wheel®™.
If the perp won’t drop the knife, then it’s time to drop the perp.
Maybe Tyriq the Younger won’t get much older…and didn’t spawn any more Youngers. At least Cole, Bob, and Jim had the common decency to only attack trains, banks, and Pinkerton Men.
Remember when the writings of Ayn Rand was required reading in school…as a warning to what could happen if we didn’t maintain Eternal Vigilance? Pepperidge Farms Remembers…and so do I.
Putting gold lipstick on that Plasticized Abomination of a Pig doesn’t change the fact that it is STILL a Plasticized Abomination of a Pig. And a real pig, just like a real pistol, (made of metal as God and HMS JMB HBHN intended) is waaaaay yonder more pretty anyhow.
Escort duty to the little big town again today. Think I’ll accessorize with my FNIB Kimber Model 1911 Custom LW. It helps bring out the gleam in my eyes. Y’all play nice.
Bring out the Gleam in your eyes?
Wha’d’ya do? Squirt toothpaste in your face?
(rimshot)
Thank you, I’ll be here all week.
We’re not allowed to purchase or own Kimber pistols in Massachusetts.
I’m on the verge of moving back to Texas though, to be honest, I think Tennessee is just about an ideal geographical and cultural location. NTL, younger brother has a nice setup in the Corpus Christi area. Good tamales.
C’mon home to Texas, brother!
Best tamales, prettiest ladies, great music, Open Carry – what’s not to love? (Disregarding the heat, but…)
“Tyriq Qwadere”
There are some names where you don’t have to give a description of the suspect.
Vindication for 2A supporters… when seconds count, some bureaucrat 911 operator will hang up on you:

First-ly (h/t to, well, ME!), I’d like to say this is a gear review so woefully of topic but it does feel good. (Sometimes that justification is juuust appropriate enuf to stick things were they don’t belong….) any who.
GEAR REVIEW
I’ve been lookin’fer ways to secure my little redoubt. The times of cheap c-wire are over (shoulda got that pallet when I had the chance) and the idea of stinging it all over is less than settling. So I did a little homework on a ‘less visually indicative’ option to boost my security and to deny intruders access. (Putting that BIG second ‘O’ in OCOKA)
Enter the caltrop.
Ordered a number (between 2 and many) of both sizes and they seem like good kit (the welds could be thicker). The white paint seemed a little flaky, and the green is solid. They may have been recently painted as they were odorous (not bad bad, bet they paint-to-order).
Now, these little buggers are sharp-ish. If you step on them, even in a lug soled boot, you will be cussin’.
Meself, I’m thinking our beloved ‘Ed has a mean streak to post that abomination of ghettoed pimped-out garbage.
We need to find out how we offended him and rectify that ASAP.
I would say get him some tickets to an upcoming Motion Picture Release, but I think that Mick has that already covered, Graybeard.
— UGH —
It will never end…
