Ready on the Right, Ready on the Left, Ready on the Firing Line

Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price easily one of the most bigoted politicians in the United States, must be getting for his Federal corruption trial. He has trotted out a new campaign decrying the use of black silhouette targets. From Moonbattery.

Black Silhouette Targets Denounced as Racist

Corrupt Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price, who denounced the terms “black hole” and “black sheep” as racist, should have been the moonbat to come up with the Change.org petition calling for the end of black silhouette targets:

Our end goal is to eliminate the use of the most popular target for shooters when learning to use their firearm: a black silhouette. There should be #NoMoreBlackTargets in shooting ranges, permitting, and instruction environments, or anywhere someone is learning to use a firearm.

Unconscious bias can be deadly, and we need to fight the deadly epidemic of gun violence towards black people.

Never mind that violence toward blacks is inflicted almost exclusively by other blacks.

Looks like the moonbats at NoMoreBlackTargets.com have created some alternate targets we can use instead of allegedly racist black silhouettes:

In case you have slept, Price has been under indictment since 2011 for public corruption, this according to Wikipedia, the lazy man’s source.

FBI Investigation[edit]

In July 2011, Price and multiple associates were served with search warrants obtained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation arising out of acts of alleged public corruption. The warrant on Price’s residence specified a search for data related to violations of the U.S. Code Titles 18, 26, or 31, specifically “Theft or Bribery Concerning Programs Receiving Federal Funds,” tax evasion, fraud, false statements, money laundering, and “aiding and abetting and conspiracy to violate these statutes.” [14] The FBI seized multiple assets belonging to Price. Price is currently being investigated by the FBI.[15] According to Federal sources, Price was arrested by the FBI on Friday, July 25, 2014.[16] His trial has been scheduled for January 2016 and will have to contribute $80,000 towards his own defense.[17] U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn granted a lengthy postponement for Price’s trial on charges of corruption. Price’s trial was set to begin January 19, 2016 more than a year after his first appearance in the case on July 24, 2014 with the trial will begin is September 6.[18] On June 24, 2016, U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn pushed the trial date back to February 21, 2017 due to the amount of evidence the government accumulated, 9.2 terabytes worth, and the time needed for the defense to sort through it all.[19]

Finally, there is this: In 1976 I learned to shoot on a standard silhouette target called a B-27 (left). By 1983 as the Department’s firearms instructor, I selected and the department transitioned to the TQ-10 (right) for practices and qualifications. The TQ-10 is noticeably paler that the B-27.
