Guns confiscated to Drug Cartel bosses in Mexico. Gaudy some?

The ghost of Pablo Escobar.
While the Washington shrills are occupied denouncing Arizona as the new hot cradle of the Klan, just on the other side of the border a new version of the Colombian Drug Wars of the late 80s and early 90s is being played and played hard.
Till now the war has been run against drug dealers and their support systems (including dirty cops working for all sides) and the complacent Mexican government. But the ante was raised yesterday when a car bomb exploded in Ciudad Juarez yesterday taking out a cop, an EMT and an unknown civilian dressed as a cop.
Drug wars tend to spill far and wide. Arizona and Texas have been suffering some of the collateral effects of this war, but this car bombing is the loud warning that things are about to get seriously big body-count wise and it will spill with full force on this side of the border.
During the Colombian Drug Wars, we were insulated by thousands of miles of distance. Cali isn’t exactly next door and other than some well publicized shootouts in Miami and NY, the great majority of the carnage was produced in Cali. Even so, it got to the point where a commercial airplane was bombed out of the sky by good old Pablo Escobar Gaviria killing 109 innocent people and a reign of terror commenced with bombs targeting public places and killing anybody related to the drug war, relatives or even friends not connected to the drug war.
Washington is again asleep at the switch. I think this will get really bad before anything gets done and then only to target constitutional rights of regular citizens instead of going after the dealers and the Mexican Government. I think we are in for a nasty time within our borders.
For a great book on the Colombian Drug Wars and its effect on the population, I would advise you to get Killing Pablo:The Hunt for the World’s Greatest Outlaw by Mark Bowden, the same author of Blackhawk Down. A documentary based on the book was also made for cable and you can watch part 1 and part 2. And don’t say we were not warned.
Dude, you are going to Hell.
Man Uses Crucifix To Steal Church Donations.
Lemme see if I get this straight. You break into a Catholic Church, desecrate a Cross, use it as a burglary tool to open the Donation Box and steal the money for the poor?
Yep, you are going to hell and St. Michael will personally be in charge of this delivery. You don’t diss the Almighty in His house and hope to have a nice afterlife.
And this is why I was never into the nightlife.
Next time somebody says something about “unarmed people” and that they are harmless and you are paranoid for carrying a gun…..
Have them watch this video.
80-Year-Old Chicago Man Kills Armed Home Invader. May face Charges.
In Gun Enema Land A.K.A Daley’s Hell A.K.A. Chicago, an elderly Veteran shoots and kills an armed intruder who broke into his house. And instead of counting his blessings to live yet another day in the company of his wife, this gentleman may be subjected to prosecution because he owned an “illegal” firearm: A handgun.
High profile Chicago lawyer Joel Brodsky already announced that he will take the gentleman in a Pro Bono basis to defend him against any charges that he may face by Cook County Legal Goons.
We hope that SCOTUS will eventually eliminate such stupid and homicidal ban in Chicago and any locale that allows people to be killed like baby seals.
An Armed & Polite Society: You wanna try that torch with me, boy?
According to Silicon Valley’s Mercury News, a march of peace loving, open minded, love for everybody support for Illegal Aliens turned violent and ended up in a riot. This line caught my attention:
Many in the group were carrying makeshift torches as they marched, breaking storefront windows and writing “anarchist graffiti” on buildings,
Somebody seems to be watching way too many late night movies at the local revolutionary coffee house in Santa Clara. But I doubt something like that is gonna happen with the locals here in South Florida. First Cubans, Puerto Ricans and Hatians don’t give a damn squat about Mexican (<gasp!> Brown brothers not united? No.</gasp>) and second, we have this thing called law and more precisely Title XLVI, Chapter 776,
Justifiable Use Of Force.
776.08 Forcible felony.–”Forcible felony” means treason; murder; manslaughter; sexual battery; carjacking; home-invasion robbery; robbery; burglary; arson; kidnapping; aggravated assault; aggravated battery; aggravated stalking; aircraft piracy; unlawful throwing, placing, or discharging of a destructive device or bomb; and any other felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual.
Like I said, I don’t imaging seeing stupid kids in dressed all in black roaming the streets of Miami with torches… at least not vertically for long. Either the heat stroke would drop them or store owners would get some trigger practice between sips of cuban coffee and bites of rotis. (pass the Tabasco, would ya?)
God and Zombies.
Mi IPod is a life saver, no doubt about it. The poor thing must be suffering from an identity problem because the owner is not quite stable music wise. When the bands cover the range of Premiata Forneria Marconi, Dean Martin, Johan Sebastian Bach and Parliament Funkadelik, you can imagine the psychological trauma it has to shuffle. Yet the most abused playlist is the Podcast. Night shift would be unbearable without having somebody’s voice to keep me awake in this awful boring time. One of my favorites is Pastor Kenn Blanchard’s Black Man with a Gun.
I admit the first time I heard the Pastor about 2 years ago, we didn’t click. Maybe it was a bad episode, maybe I was in the wrong mood for his podcast (same thing happened with the TV series “Homicide: Life in the Streets” which now is my favorite Cop Show ever) but I found him boring and overbearing. Last year I somehow downloaded another episode and I got hooked on his “preaching” (more in a second), his view on guns and his view of life.
I placed preaching in quotes ’cause he does preach in my opinion but in the best way possible. Instead of sounding like that know-it-all from atop of the pulpit stuffed shirt, Pastor Kenn is more like a good wise friend offering his point of view and advice on a subject while having a cup of coffee sitting with you in the back porch. He doesn’t take himself too seriously or even you too seriously, yet his advice, (if you wish to accept it) is serious.
He is sneaky and smooth. He makes you think and re-evaluate things in the softest of voices yet not weak. Maybe your beliefs are right, but held only by a simplistic structure of thought. May it be your responsibilities as a parent or as a gun owner, you will be forced to re-evaluate them and make the roots either grow deeper or just tear the whole thing out and start all over knowing that it will be much stronger and better. He is like a Marvin Gaye of the Cloth and with Gun: when you least expect it, you are swinging, smiling and feeling better.
Preach On Pastor.
PS: I almost forgot! He has a segment serialized about Zombies on every podcast called Zombie Strike and he has his own Zombie Target. How damn cool is that?
