The Surprised Face

I always have to smile at people like this:

I smile not at the smug face of the True Believer, but at the future face of sheer surprise when she finally tastes real pain and violence when she tries to act out the bullshit she spews on the wrong person. A dumb little idiot who got herself viral threatening people with grave bodily harm will find herself at the wrong end of the handcuffs, with a bleeding face and generalized bruises all over he body feeling a pain much worse than her collagen shots and nothing she can do about it.

And it is coming.

Alyssa Milano finds out the Machine is hungry

And it does not care if you are an “ally.”

Dear Alyssa: there is no saving intention that can help you. The game is to apply the same Alinsky Rules you apply to the other side (“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”) with the problem that it seems your side has a cemetery worth of skeletons in the closet which you guys apparently loved to have pictures taken.

Wait, you thought you’d be in control of the Revolution? How Roberspierre of you.

Iowa Governor’s driver is the hero we need

From the New York Post:

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds’ car hits BLM protester who ‘intentionally’ blocked it: report

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds’ car struck a Black Lives Matter demonstrator who blocked the vehicle’s path Tuesday, according to a report.

Jaylen Cavil, an organizer with Des Moines Black Lives Matter, said he stood in front of the governor’s vehicle outside of an event in Ackley, hoping Reynolds would roll down her window to speak to demonstrators, the Des Moines Register reported.

The demonstrators were barred from the event.

“The SUV that Gov. the was driving in drove right up to me,” Cavil told the outlet. “I was standing right in front of the car and I just stood there. I was like, ‘I’m going to stand here. Surely the driver of the governor is not going to hit me with her car.”

“This is the governor, my governor, who’s supposed to be representing me,” he said. “I’m sure that her car is not going to intentionally hit me. I was wrong.”

Cavil later took to Twitter over the bumpy encounter.

“I’m physically okay,” he wrote. “Just still shocked & trying to process the fact that the governor’s car intentionally hit me today.”

He intentionally blocked traffic and prevented the egress of a political VIP.

This is an ambush tactic, blocking the governor is a threat to her.

Her driver acting accordingly.

I knew people who were deployed to Iraq.  I asked about it and they told me it was common for protestors to block roads and slow down or stop convoys.  That would make it much easier for insurgents to kill US troops with small arms, rocket launchers, and hand grenades.  Vehicles traveling at high rates of speed were harder to hit.

SOP became run over the protesters.  A HMMWV weighs roughly 8,000 lbs and is powered by a turbo-diesel engine.  Protesters who chose to play chicken with one generally lost.

The shooting of a driver in Utah (the shooter and another protestor, in that case, have been arrested) shows that the same ambush tactic used against our troops overseas has come here, at least on one occasion.

There may be more.

It’s not unreasonable for a governor’s driver to push through a protest with the vehicle to ensure the safety of the governor.

I just hope that extends to the rest of us.

Protesters who block traffic do so putting drivers at risk.  Perhaps not all want to shoot drivers or turn them into another Reginald Denny, but they don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.

More incidents of violence against drivers are coming.  They will only stop when drivers refuse to stop.

This driver is the hero we need right now.

And a little mood music for the protesters.

 

Yes, it most certainly did…

From the New York Post:

Slashing NYPD budget by $1B will lead to more lawlessness, police unions warn

Plans to slash the NYPD’s budget by $1 billion threaten to further plunge the Big Apple into “lawlessness” and it’s the communities that will pay, union officials and police sources said Monday.

“Mayor [Bill] de Blasio’s message to New Yorkers today was clear: you will have fewer cops on your streets,” Police Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch said in a statement.

“Shootings more than doubled again last week. Even right now, the NYPD doesn’t have enough manpower to shift cops to one neighborhood without making another neighborhood less safe.”

The Mayor’s attitude towards police doesn’t help.

The prediction of lawlessness came to fruition quickly.

Why should an NYPD officer risk being hurt by being hit by glass bottles and other hard objects being thrown for a city that clearly doesn’t care about them, a mayor that doesn’t support them, and where they will get thrown under the bus and destroyed for defending themselves?

New York City is now the wealthiest Third World shithole in the Western hemisphere.  Good job everybody there.
