John Longenecker Safer Streets
Safer streets when Good Samaritans are encouraged.
 I have been writing about Good Samaritans for a long time. The Good Samaritan is the bystander, witness or citizen who is on scene sooner than first responders, one who acts to mitigate the circumstances or conditions to the benefit of the victim.
We have Good Sams who intervene with first-aid and we have them who intervene with judgment and authority (and force) in coming to the aid of another in time of violence. Good citizens - I mean, Good Samaritans - are in much larger numbers than professional police and EMS. It's good for the country that such Good Sams be encouraged. Someone could make a nice living by holding seminars for citizens who want to learn more. A group of lawyers could get together with a group of Paramedics and those get together with gun owners to round out the optimized Good Samaritan course.
The Los Angeles City Fire Department created CERT - Citizen Emergency Rescue Training - for laymen. Preparedness groups around the country adopt this kind of content in their programs. Here are a few other significant reports:
. So-called 'untrained' citizens save lives with Automatic Defibrillator equipment available... . Having a friendly policy in place affirms the value of the concept . . . . Changing attitudes which understand and embrace the value of the concept make for safer streets ... . Even off-duty professionals add to the concept . . . And in emergencies of criminal violence, there is an abundance of reports available at Keep and bear Arms.com and David Codrea's morning talk show, War on Guns. Good Sams are within many of us. Bystanders who can help can make all the difference in the victim's world. These people with these values should learn more about their their role and their immediate importance. A deeper understanding of specific protections, an understanding of one's reasonable latitude to act, and a good understanding of its importance can greatly enhance community safety.
These people are not designated persons, only decent people who might like to learn more so they can not only do their very best, but also be freer to do it at all.
The momentum and early work are already underway. The reason I call attention to the value of an already established Good Samaritan is because there are those who oppose this societal safeguard.
Gun control.

David Codrea Second Amendment Profiling and predicting a leftist agenda in academic papers on gun control.
Social Science Research Network has published a new scholarly work, "Profiling and Predicting Opinions on Gun Control: A Comparative Perspective on the Factors Underlying Opinion on Different Gun Control Measures." The researchers who wrote it are Amy Semet of Columbia University. Nathaniel Persily from Columbia Law School, and Stephen Ansolabehere, Harvard University - Department of Government. They surveyed "over 1,000 participants."

Good Samaritans Independence Even brief lessons in CPR can improve survival rates.
[ . . .] The most common cause of cardiac arrest in infants and young children is what Licking Memorial Health Systems pediatrician Rick Baltisberger classifies as a "respiratory event" -- a drowning or near drowning, respiratory infection or choking, among others. Although cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques have changed throughout the years, Baltisberger emphasized the importance of parents, grandparents and child care providers familiarizing themselves with the basic CPR process.

Michelle Malkin Sovereignty Schooling Matt Damon.
 Actor Matt Damon is a walking, talking public service reminder to immunize your children early and often against La-La-Land disease.
In Damon's world, all public school teachers are selfless angels. Government workers and Hollywood entertainers are impervious to economic incentives. And anyone who disagrees is a know-nothing, "corporate reformer" ingrate who hates education. More . . .

Alan Caruba Warning Signs. Flirting with the Great Depression 2.0
 [ . . .] When a nation's debt equals its entire annual gross domestic product, it is bankrupt. It can still produce goods and services, but it will likely encounter fewer customers worldwide as they too are drawn deeper into their own debt crises.
When it must borrow billions daily just to meet its obligations to other nations and individuals who have purchased its treasury notes, it is has reached a point of "moral hazard" that threatens the wealth of every single citizen.
