Mushy Mantra:?“There is a woke agenda out there that is against law and order and they’re really making it hard to be a prosecutor,” claimed Seth Ryan, the first-term District Attorney of the Seventh Judicial District of Colorado, which provides prosecutorial services for six counties in the southwest corner of the state. He was speaking to the Ouray County Republican Party Assembly in March to declare he was running for re-election, and said that “Over the past three years, my mantrahas been never surrender, never give up.” He is unopposed on the ballot, and just a few weeks before the election, has announced he is resigning as of the end of October. His reason: a backlog of cases stretching back to the pandemic has delayed them, and he has had to personally step in to prosecute some cases because he has a shortage of attorneys, causing him considerable stress.

Home Invasion:?An unnamed woman in Poulsbo, Wash., started feeding raccoons on her property — 35 years ago. “She said around six weeksago the number of raccoons ballooned to more than 100 and the new animals were far more aggressive,” said Kevin McCarty of the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office, which the woman called asking for help. “She said she repeatedly had to throw food to them to get them to leave her alone,” and had to “run away in her car to escape the furry and very hungry creatures.” The woman said she’d tried to have them trapped and removed, but the quotes were as high as $500 per raccoon, and if a wildlife officer trapped a raccoon, it had to be released on-site or euthanized. The sheriff called in the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Our wildlife conflict specialist for Kitsap County met with the resident” to make a simple suggestion, said spokeswoman Bridget Mire. “The raccoons appear to have started dispersing now that they are no longer being fed, and we are glad for a positive outcome to this case.” (MS/KIRO Seattle)?...Imagine that: remove the cause and the problem resolves.

What an Image:?NoHo Diagnostic Center says Los Angeles, Calif., police thought its facility was an illegal pot-growing operation and raided it. The cops did not find any cannabis growing at the facility, according to NoHo’s lawsuit against the city and its police department. But one officer did find an MRI machine — behind a door with a sign warning people not to bring metal inside. He carried his rifle into the room “dangling ... in his right hand, with an unsecured strap.” The magnets grabbed the gun and it was left stuck to the machine. The lawsuit claims an officer then triggered the machine’s emergency release, which allowed a large quantity of helium to escape, and damaged the equipment. On leaving the room, the officer did not take the bullet-filled magazine that had landed on the floor, the lawsuit alleges.

Limited Distribution:?Officers from Oregon’s Portland Police Bureau spotted a stolen car, and pulled it over. Reginald Lamont Reynolds, 35, was with a woman; both were arrested, and the car was searched incident to the arrest. Officers found a loaded gun, money, scales, and small bags commonly used for illicit drug distribution. Oh, and one other thing: a zippered cloth bag upon which was printed, “Definitely Not a bag full of Drugs”. It was, of course, filled with drugs, apparently mostly meth. Reynolds was jailed, but prosecutors apparently thought the woman was not involved, and released her without charges.(RC/Portland Oregonian)?...And here her main purpose was to be the one left holding the bag.
