Two juveniles shot while attempting armed robbery in Gentilly, NOPD says
By Ken Daley
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) – Two juvenile boys attempting an armed holdup got more than they bargained for Sunday afternoon (April 30) when each was shot and wounded before being arrested, New Orleans police said.Each of the boys — 13 and 11 years of age — was shot in the leg, and the wounds were not considered life-threatening, police said. Two alleged accomplices — a 16-year-old boy and 15-year-old boy — also were arrested after crashing a red SUV being used as their getaway vehicle.
The SUV was reported stolen earlier Sunday and had been used in an attempted robbery and an armed carjacking earlier, police said.
The crime spree came to an end when the intended victim of another armed robbery pulled his own gun and shot the boys around 3:57 p.m. in the 4900 block of Eastern Street in Gentilly.

All good fun until the marks shoot back.
NY Gun buyback program nets 235 firearms
A gun buyback program conducted Saturday, April 29, in the city netted 235 firearms, the New York Attorney General’s Office announced Sunday.
The event was hosted by the Kingston Police Department, the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office and the Attorney General’s Office.
The weapons turned in at the no-questions-asked event held at the American Legion Post at 18 W. O’Reilly St., included 15 assault rifles, 120 handguns and 60 long guns, Attorney General Letitia James said in a press release.
No Score.

Those New Orleans teens/juveniles got a lesson. But will they learn?
I’d bet a cup of chicory coffee and a serving of crawfish they don’t. They’ll think of their experience as street cred
Were their wounds wrapped with lace?
(award yourself 5TAH bucks if you get it)
Hate to be pedantic, but that’s Chantilly. Five LPH Jeff points for the attempted pun, though
Yeah. I remembered that to much later. That’s what happens at oh-dark-too-damn-early and no caffeine. Misfiring synapses.
Do I what, will I what, oh Baby you know what I like, Chantilly lace with a pretty face and a pony tail hanging down makes the world go round and round.

Gun “buyback” (of property that was never yours to begin with).
It would be fun to imagine if one were able to set up a table just ahead of the “ofishul buyback” and purchase those guns instead of the po-po.
But being New Yawk and Letitia being involved in any capacity whatsoever…..makes that wish a wistful pass.
It’s been done other places. Sometimes they offer $100 more on the sign.
Locally our police department sells all the guns confiscated from felons at auction every other year. Only dealers are allowed to bid though much of it is trash but a few are quite nice.
“The suspect — identified as Qwinntavus Kwame Jordan…”

Something tells me he was of a certain ethnicity…
When I was 11 years old, I watched Apollo 11 land on the moon. At 13 I joined the Boy Scouts.
Since I carry concealed I’ve been asked if I would ever shoot a child. My answer has shocked people; YES, I would shoot a child, especially if that child was pointing a gun at me demanding my money. A child can kill you just as dead as an adult, they just do so from closer to the ground.
Defend yourself or others by stopping the threat.
I would hit a female or shoot a juvenile if warranted.
To protect myself or my loved ones I would take out any threat to their health or life.
In Liberia, a dingbat UN worker who’d hooked-up with the married dude I was replacing (and hoping to get me, married also, to pick up where he left-off) asked me how, as military person, I’d deal with child soldiers if they attacked. In a shameless steal from Full Metal Jacket, I replied: “Full auto. Full auto works great– you just don’t have to lead the little bastards so much!” She beat feet. (Hey, their trigger fingers work too.)
I’d like to see pictures of those 15 “assault rifles”, just to laugh and mock both the po-po and the sheeple.
Ulster County up in NYS and not NYC proper. WOW but where did those WW2 German 15 Sturmgewehr 44 “Assault” Rifles come from? I didn’t think that returning GI’s brought that many back.
Plus, this ain’t cool… our airpower shrinking while the Chicoms’ gets bigger:

I would like to know how many of these guns could actually be fired.
