Apparently, we’re all miltia-crazies now.
A woman was arrested for taking pictures of an ANG base near Long Island, NY and charged with trespassing. This was her second visit to take pictures. She believed that some of the new barracks there were to be part of an internment camp for non-Obamabots.
She had a 12ga shotgun and an AR clone, along with ammo for both, inside her car.
She also has a MySpace page with a Molon Labe logo where she talks about her admiration for Glenn Beck.
Adding this all up, according to local hatemonger, David Neiwert, means she was going to go on a killing spree and was only caught just in time.
I think I can tell which individual is the more insane and paranoid. (Hint: It isn’t Ms. Genovese.)
As I understand it, this is a “truther” thing, so while trying so hard to get the goods on those Obamabots, the Paulbot got caught.
Of course, transporting any kind of firearm anywhere in the state of New Yawk is prima-facie evidence to them that you are a terrorist.
However, we have to bow to realities, and the military authority on ANY base takes a dim view of photographers AND weapons these days. Hard to fault that, since we ARE at war.
A second thought: If we want to live free until it’s REALLY time to accomplish the Un-Do and then the Re-Do, we have to figure out how to have some discipline amongst ourselves…
In this case, the lack of discipline was her apparent ignorance that firearms possession laws were different on military bases, and that the military usually extends the “perimeter” of their properties to the sight-lines for hostile fires. They are actually prepared to act outside of the wire these days.
I’m not meaning to denigrate the job done by base security or the local constabulary, RD.
Nor am I saying that Ms. Genovese was all that intelligent.
I am, however, mocking Neiwert’s breathless reportage on the three dots that are not just sunspots burned into his retinas. Outside of his mind (aka: The Real World) it takes much more than a camera and two long guns to make a terrorist.
And if you look at the picture of the weaponry, the woman only had one 30rd mag.
What kind of idiot goes on a murder spree with only one mag?
One wonders if she is related to the late Kitty Genovese.
One also wonders if anyone else reading this blog is old enough to know who Kitty Genovese was….
DWW,
Kitty G. was the canary in the N.Y. coalmine, whose death proved that the place wasn’t fit for human habitation.
Whoever her modern equivalent is now unable to sing, due to choking on the fumes of unicorn farts.

Her name was the first thing that struck me. If the more famous Ms. Genovese had been as well armed she might not have become so well known.
