Life under gun control

Daily Telegraph – A man who allegedly shot his former girlfriend at Star City Casino had been convicted of stalking her four years ago, a court has heard. Todd William Devaney, 37, was not brought up from the cells below Central Local Court this morning as he faced five charges arising from yesterday’s alleged shooting in Pyrmont, including attempted murder and maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm.

Court paperwork revealed the alleged victim of yesterday’s shooting was Holly Graham, a fitness instructor at the Star City Casino’s gym, who Devaney had previous been found guilty of stalking in 2004. She had taken out an apprehended violence order against him at the time. [snip] Documents tendered to the court stated Devaney had a string of convictions for firearms offences, stalking and armed robbery dating back more than a decade.

Code Pink Morons

FOX News – Code Pink is now resorting to witchcraft to beef up the number of its supporters protesting Berkeley’s controversial Marine Corps Recruiting Center. The women’s anti-war group has told ralliers to come equipped with spells and pointy hats Friday for “Witches, clowns and sirens day,” the last of the group’s weeklong homage to Mother’s Day. “Women are coming to cast spells and do rituals and to impart wisdom to figure out how we’re going to end war,” Zanne Sam Joi of Bay Area Code Pink told FOXNews.com.

The group’s week of themed protests, which included days to galvanize grannies and bring-your-daughter-to-protest, appears to have done little to boost its flagging numbers. A FOX News camera, which has a 24/7 live shot of the recruiting center’s front door, recorded little action, and the gatherings have, until this point, been ill attended. [snip] Now, after three months of continual protest, their actions barely capture the attention of even the Marines at the recruiting center.
