Border Vigilante Who Slipped Cops On The Run Found Dead Of Apparent Self-Inflicted Gun Shot | Talking Points Memo

“My dad said the moment he got out [of prison] that he’d never go back,” Massey said. “No matter what.”

Most people who make a statement like that mean that they will straighten up and try to be a productive citizen. For this doofus it meant immediately committing a felony by acquiring guns.

This must be the first time ever that a TPM writer fixed a typo after publication. Kind of diminishes the charm of the place, really. :smile:

And a nation mourns. That he didn’t take a few more MAGA-ts with him.

OT: Whoa. Bernie’s going to have to do some extensive damage control, and right before the Iowa caucuses. This is going to be big.

Bernie’s people went after Warren the other day, and she just punched back hard.

Well, we all know what she did to the “Lost” 1845 Franklin Expedition. They only recently found the wrecks of the Terror and Erebus.

Kory Massey on his father choosing suicide over a shootout: “He told me he didn’t want to get in a shootout because he didn’t want to hurt someone that was just trying to do their job and he didn’t want to take some kid’s parent.”

I guess the irony was probably lost on Kory.

But on a positive note, this sounds like a guy who deserves a posthumous presidential pardon.

Sure, he was a felon with multiple weapons charges who pointed a gun at a law enforcement officer, but he was protecting us from those lawless furriners.

I am delighted to hear this. May it be an epidemic on every pretend hard-case asshole in camo and toting a gun.

Alas, not this time. Suicide is a horrible ending. Happy ending would have been him getting rehabilitated and his head straightened out.

One of the most repeated tropes of 2A types is “We don’t need more gun laws, we need to enforce the ones we have.” And yet here’s a guy which his followers seem to want to gloss over, or down right dismiss, the felon had guns. This felon before his last incarceration was in a group that pointed a gun at a member of law enforcement. But hey if you’re white and male with a stupid soul patch(?) you can break parole because you’re the persecuted one.

Which is frequently followed by “…and here’s why the ones we have are all unconstitutional…”
