I Wonder Why He Didn't Stick Around: The three men, one armed with a
shotgun, approached a man and a woman on the corner of Leavenworth and
Turk streets around 4 a.m. and held them up. Instead of complying,
however, the man pulled out a gun of his own and shot all three
assailants. San Francisco police say they are looking to question the
man, whom they regard as the victim. (Gee, in a city that is fighting to
maintain an illegal ban on handguns and whose police have claimed that
statewide CWP's are not valid there, I can't believe he didn't wait
around to file a police report.)

What Is The Definition Of Murder In Michigan?: "This is the city's 13th
murder of 2006. But this one is not like any of the previous
12...Prosecutor Mike Thomas says the woman acted in self defense and a
source close to the investigation says West had a history of assaulting
the woman." (How can it be murder if it was self-defense? Says a lot
about journalism school.)
