Obama said Republicans were shutting down the govt in order to limit women's right to contraception. Republicans should demand he apologize or let the govt stay shutdown.

Cops fatally shoot Texas homeowner who shot and killed intruder By Travis Gettys rawstory.com Tuesday, October 1, 2013 10:44 EDT Police fatally shot a Texas homeowner shortly after the man shot and killed an intruder Thursday night in an alley behind his home. Neighbors said William Hall was reclusive and had recently received notices from the city about uncut grass and other code violations, reported The Dallas Morning News. The suspected burglar, 30-year-old Jerry Hale, apparently believed the homeowner had died before he broke in Thursday night, police said. Hall confronted the intruder, shot him and threatened to shoot him again as he stood over him in an alley behind the Far East Dallas home, investigators said. When officers arrived, they said the 57-year-old Hall pointed a 9 mm handgun at them and witnesses. Police said Hall disregarded orders to drop the weapon, and officers fatally shot him. A police spokesman said responding officers didn’t realize that Hall was defending his own home, but the spokesman said Hall “had plenty of opportunities to de-escalate” the situation. Police said they were called to the incident by a contractor working at a nearby house who told them Hall pointed a gun and at witnesses who heard the gunshots in the alley. The caller said Hall tried to fix his jammed weapon and fire it at bystanders. The contractor said he told Hall police were on their way, and he said Hall told him, “Good, I’ll shoot them, too.” Police said Hall watched the responding officers from behind a privacy fence and then some bushes, so police took cover and waved off an emergency crew that had arrived to treat Hale. They said Hall continued trying to fix his gun as he moved toward officers, saying nothing. Three officers fired at the man, who police said attempted to reach his gun before he was shot again, this time fatally. Hale had been arrested 14 times in Texas since 2000, police said, on a variety of theft and drug charges.

World War II Vets Defy Obama’s Government Shutdown, Storm the Memorial on National Mall Posted by Jammie on Oct 01, 2013 at 12:26 pm Let’s call it Operation Take Back America. As part of the Honor Flight project, World War II veterans have been taken to Washington DC, cost free, to see the memorial erected in their honor on the National Mall. Due to the government shutdown, National Park Service police put up barriers preventing access. According to Leo Shane III, White House and Veterans Affairs reporter for Stars and Stripes, the veterans knocked over those barriers. Awesome. Indeed, Shane is all over it.
