1. Remember that "militia" member that was more connected to the #Occupy movement and Nazis, JT Ready? Turns out he was far from law abiding before he snapped and killed his family. The FBI was already investigating him as a terrorist, and found in his home after his murder/suicide were munitions and arms stolen from the US military.
2. Manny Ruiz, another pussy-ass Cracker... err... white hispanic... err... white guy doing neighborhood watch while armed. Interesting how the columnist is trying to drum up drama. Two unnamed neighbors are complaining but refuse to file police reports, but the guy has 40 signatures to reinstate the neighborhood watch program and even the endorsement of Carl Wright of the local NAACP chapter.
3. Arlington, VA, man arrested for taking a handgun through airport security at BWI. His first mistake: flying out of BWI.
4. According to the Washington Post, Northern Virginia is a beer drinkers paradise. The WaPo is late to the game... all of us reading Musings Over a Pint have known this for awhile.
5. Forbes: Why U.S. Gun Sales Are Shooting For The Moon.
6. Maurice Sendak, RIP. Where the Wild Things Are is a hauntingly great children's book.
