Report of Fidel Castro dying at least twice a year, were a common thing. But I can’t but laugh at his tomb. It was like somebody said: “OK, we are burying the sumbitch and let’s put a huge boulder on top to keep him buried. And armed guards just if he defeats the boulder and we need to shoot his communist zombie ass.”

I watch these Uber/Lyft videos because they are both entertaining and educational.  This one is no different and it shows an unnecessary escalation to a possible assault with a deadly weapon.

The Youtuber titles the video “Violent lyft passengers werent expecting a crazy mf driver” except the passenger (besides being assholes and verbally abusive, never presented a reasonable threat of death or grave bodily harm for the driver to pull out a knife.

According to the driver, Lyft permanently deactivated him. He says it is because the video because the company asked him to take it down and he refused. I would have taken it down because it is possible evidence of assault with a deadly weapon. If you are stupid enough to play tough guy for YouTube and give authorities the evidence, you deserve a nice quiet Christmas Holiday  at the county lock up.

It seems that today’s theme is Avoidance, Deterrence and De-Escalation.

When you push for a medical recommendation to become law, you are essentially trying to make the entire nation your involuntary patient. When doctors put on their white coats in political discourse and recommend authoritarian policies, they’re acting outside the scope of their expertise — and trying to force their opinions on millions of unwilling subjects.

The idea of informed consent is paramount to medical practice. As doctors, we should never force our therapy on our patients. Not only is this immoral, but the results can be deadly.

For decades, medical professionals have advised low fat, high carb diets, which studies increasingly show is completely misguided. Had this been just advice from doctors to their patients, that would be one thing. Instead, with the government’s support this advice was established as indisputable fact and taught to an entire generation. The result has been to kick off a diabetes epidemic that’s set to make my generation the first in American history to have shorter life expectancies than their parents.

Should doctors stay in their lane? A physician says yes.

A very well-written article and one you should share if you happen to bump into an activist doctor along with the reminder that doctors kill a quarter of a million people a year in the US.

For people who do not heeled, New Yorkers (And Jersey people too) have big attitudes and accompanying mouths. That is all fine and dandy if they are in their little Gun Free Zone reservations where they can use physical violence against a weaker subject, but it does not play well in Fly-Over Country.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – A New York man was shot Saturday after police said he attacked a woman in front of her boyfriend and his young child along Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, police said.
Mamadou Bah, 26, of Brooklyn, faces a charge of battery.
According to the arrest report, Bah had been fighting with a group of unknown men in the 1000 block of Ocean Drive just before 7 p.m. when the couple, along with the 8-month-old child, passed by. The victim’s boyfriend began recording Bah on his mobile phone, causing Bah to become irate and confront the couple, the report said.
Bah then struck the victim with his fists, the report said. The couple tried to retreat, but when Bah continue to lunge at them, the boyfriend pulled out a gun and fired three times, striking Bah in the left arm, the report said.

New York man shot in Miami Beach after attacking woman, police say

I know I am not the only one that think the only reason more of these type of tourist are not sent back in boxes is because we are nice and law-abiding.  And since we carry, we already know there is a gun that can get involved in the fight and that is something we don’t want.

I did a quick check, and I found a man from New York City with the same name who was arrested outside Kennedy Airport for having a bunch of dope in his possession.

I guess we have to endure the flapping abusive mouth, but hopefully the message will be sent that laying hands on a mother may cost you an unannounced trip to the ER followed by a stay at the local Pokey Club and Handcuff Boutique.

As for the rest of us, let us not forget that we win nothing by trying to win a silly argument with an idiot. Our final objective is to go home and sleep in our bed that day, safe and sound and with our loved ones close by. Anything else is just trying get an unnecessary ego boost.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission Report, all 407 pages of it.

Other than a brief mention, I have not made an in deep comment about the report since I have not sat down and go thorough it. I am going in with a huge grain of salt since I do not believe the commission had all the facts regarding the institutionalized coverup of student crimes.

I may or may not do a post. Four hundred pages ain’t chicken feed to summarize

Help me out here. I trained years ago as IDPA Safety Officer and then as NRA Certified Safety Officer and then NRA Instructor who did the Home Firearm Safety Course module. Maybe I missed that part of the training in all those instances, but I do not seem to recall the part where you get to grab a gun by the muzzle! Holy fucking instructional chicanery, Batman!

But wait, there is more. Did you notice the Powerpoint presentation with the Gun Safety Rules?

If you pay a bit of attention to the small print, you will discover something funny.

Are they using info retrieved from the National Sports Shooting Foundation, an organization they vilified so much for selling “evil assault rifles” that only the NRA is higher in the list of venomous propaganda?

I should be mad (and I am a bit) but it also is great proof that Moms Demand, as much as they call themselves a “Gun Safety Organization” have not created anything substantial other than buying legislators to push Gun Control and if they are pushed into providing actual teaching classes on Gun Safety, they must rely on “the enemy.”

And still, they screw it up.
