The Tweet isn’t completely accurate.

The girl asked the boy to marry her.

Man beats up 19-year-old girlfriend for asking him to marry her in MP’s Rewa

A 24-year-old man was seen beating his 19-year-old girlfriend after she asked him to marry her in Madhya Pradesh’s Rewa district. The man has been arrested.

Dubey further added that the accused and the girl were in a relationship and the man beat her up after an argument happened between them.

In the video, the 19-year-old girl can be seen asking the accused to marry her. The man initially gets irritated and then proceeds to kick and slap her repeatedly in the face.

It seems that people in India have little tolerance for that sort of shit.

Man Seen In Video Thrashing Teen Gets A Bulldozer Visit In Madhya Pradesh

The home of a Madhya Pradesh man, who brutally thrashed a 19-year-old teen on camera over refusing to marry him, has been razed with a bulldozer, the police said.

Pankaj Tripathi, 24, was seen in the viral video slapping the woman, grabbing her hair and slamming her into the ground head-first. He then kicks her in the face and all over her body. The assault happened at Rewa district.

The district administration today sent a bulldozer to demolish his home. The machine went to work, supported by a large group of policemen, till the house was completely levelled.

Tripathi made a living by driving. His licence has been cancelled now. A local policeman has also been suspended for not taking action against Tripathi on time.

They bulldozed his house and took away his ability to work.

And that’s before they prosecute him and send him to prison.

I also love how they suspended the cop for not doing enough.

I think we need to learn a little from India.

Men who beat women deserve to have their lives bulldozed and cops who fail at their duties need to be punished.

Miguel sent me this a while back and I never got around to posting it.

He grabbed this picture off of Facebook, along with the following description.

“Another critical malfunction of a Russian 2S3 Akatsiya 152mm self-propelled howitzer in Kharkiv Oblast – a burst barrel.”

The first thing I can tell you is that the shell did not detonate in the barrel.

The barrel simply wore out.

Artillery opperate at roughly the same pressures at small arms round, between 45,000 and 75,000 psi.

That is because the material that gun barrel ls are made of, medium carbon steel, can only be heat treated and worked to a certain tensile strength.

Cannon and artillery barrels go through a secondary process after forming called autofrettage, which overstresses the ID of the barrel and plastically deforms it creating a residual surface compressive stress in the ID of the bore to increase fatigue life.  Similar to the process of shotpeening.

However, the life of a Cannon barrel, like and gun barrel is limited.

Cannon barrels are good for maybe a few hundred to a few thousand rounds.

The hoop and hertzian stresses of sending a heavy steel shell down a barrel causes radial cracks in the bore.  They propagate with every shot until the effective wall thickness has been reduced to the point were there is a risk of rupture during firing.

A good military will know from the development of the weapon what the expected life of the barrel is and will track the number of rounds fired to know when a gun barrel should be taken put of service.

A good military will do periodic bore inspections to determine how far along the life a barrel may be.

I’ve been hearing that the Russian army has been having supply chain issues.

So it’s not surprising to me at all, given the intensity of the fighting and the lack of resupply that this gun barrel was simply shot past it’s life and ruptured.

Had the shell detonated, it would have been much more damaged.  A 152mm Russian is in par with an American 155mm round.

As barrel ruptures go, this is actually a safe failure.  It split and vented.  The danger condition is if the barrel actually explodes and sends shrapnel everywhere. That can kill an entire gun crew.

On a side note:

I have spent much of my career in weapons development and engineering.

I’m bad at coming up with topics to write about.

I guess because I swe this sort of stuff everyday it becomes normal to me and I don’t think about how other people might have interests in it.

So I’m going to open this up to you, the readers.

Email the blog and ask away on the engineering of guns, weapons, etc., or just plain technology and failure analysis.

Anything that isn’t classified or ITAR protected I’d be happy to turn into into posts.

Yesterday, I saw gas about 5 cents cheaper but decided to wait till Thursday.

But on my way to work today, I saw that prices went up a lot except un one of my usual stations, so I filled up.

I would so fly this flag, especially every time I am doing some home improvement project.

When I was a kid the term for somebody that crossed the border illegally was “illegal alien”. According to the Oxford English Dictionary “alien” means “a foreigner, especially one who is not a naturalized citizen of the country where they are living.
” And “Illegal” just means that they are not hear with the permission of the government.

The narrative went into action “people aren’t illegal”. “Nobody is illegal”. Everything was about making a well defined term with well defined and understood meaning to become unacceptable.

Terms used were “alien”, “undocumented worker”, “worker”, “asylum seekers”, “undocumented migrant”, and finally “migrant”.

So today if you say “I don’t want illegal aliens to invade our country” you will be meet with ridicule and scorn. “Why are you against extraterrestrials?” “Are you afraid some alien is going to probe you?”

All of this is designed to confuse communications.

“Undocumented worker” is designed to make you think that all illegal aliens are actually working here in the U.S. Or at least looking for work. While it is true that it is difficult to find American citizens that are willing to work for the wages that illegals will, this is not a reason to allow illegals into the country.

Today being against the swarm of people crossing the southern border is being “racist” or against “migrants”. This is not the case at all.

In 2020 President Trump used a law designed to protect the country in times of pandemics from being flooded with sick people. Title 42. This allowed him to send those that were captured back to Mexico. It allowed him to stop the people claiming asylum from making that claim.

Remember, that if you are escaping a bad place, you should be claiming asylum in the first country you escape too. Yes, there are exceptions for the scenarios where you are escaping a bad place (U.S.S.R.) and have to pass through other bad places (East Germany) before you get to a safe place. (West Germany). This is not the case of those that were able to safely walk north through multiple countries before claiming asylum in the United States.

Nobody on the left would claim it was ok for us to move those illegal aliens to Canada and have them seek asylum there.

Unfortunately we are being invaded through our southern border. The state of Arizona is being sued because the started stacking containers near the southern border which was acting like a real fence. There is more money being funneled to Ukraine and the IRS than there is to border protections.

Because of this we end up with entitled bullshit like the following.

When Vladimir Castellanos learned that COVID-19 restrictions blocking him and other migrants from claiming asylum at the U.S. border with Mexico may not be terminated this week, he said he felt deceived.

Castellanos and his brother are Venezuelans, and they were among dozens of migrants gathered on both sides of the Rio Grande on Monday night in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas, with some lighting small fires to keep warm as temperatures dropped toward freezing.

They had traveled there in anticipation that the COVID-19 restrictions, known as Title 42, would be lifted on Wednesday as ordered by a U.S. court. Title 42 allows U.S. authorities to rapidly expel migrants to Mexico and other countries without a chance to seek U.S. asylum.

But in a last-minute move, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday allowed Title 42 to remain in place temporarily while a legal challenge by Republican state attorneys general seeking to extend the measures is decided.

Here is a man that was somehow able to travel all the way from Venezuela to the southern border. He didn’t bother to attempt to apply for asylum at anypoint in his travels. He didn’t bother to try to apply for asylum in any of the normal ways.

He expected to travel to the southern border, cross it illegally. Then turn himself in and ask for asylum. The problem is that he and the millions of other illegal aliens like him don’t actually qualify for asylum. Being a citizen of a poor country, a third world shit hole, does NOT make you qualified for asylum.

There are particular rules.

And if you are going to become a productive member of the US society, which is in doubt, why didn’t you do that in your own country.

Frustration among migrants at U.S.-Mexico border as COVID restrictions remain

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -When Vladimir Castellanos learned that COVID-19 restrictions blocking him and other migrants from claiming asylum at the U.S. border with Mexico may not be terminated this week, he said he felt deceived.

Miguel touched on this a little bit with his post After a Natural Disaster, the Human Predators come out, but I wanted get into this topic a bit more.

First this story from CNN:

Winter storm death toll rises to 27 in the Buffalo, New York, area but officials fear it will continue to climb

Dozens of Americans have died have died as a winter storm brought frigid temperatures and paralyzing snowfall totals across the US, and officials in the Buffalo area believe the staggering toll will continue to grow there as teams carry on with search-and-rescue missions.

The nationwide death toll from storm, which brought more than 40 inches of snow to some areas, climbed to 49 on Monday, with 27 of those deaths in Erie County, New York.

Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz tweeted that 14 people in the county had died of exposure, three people were found in their vehicles, four had no heat, three were from “shoveling/(snow) blowing cardiac events, and three people passed away after EMS services were delayed.

Too many people, including residents just going out to see the massive snowfall, are going out in their vehicles and getting stuck and blocking recovery efforts, he said.

The deaths I find most shocking are the people who went out into the cold and died, especially those trapped in their cars.

How quickly civilized people forget how lethal mother nature can be when the comforts of technology are removed.

Then there is this article from the NY Post:

Looters ransack snowbound Buffalo as cops are stuck elsewhere

Deadly blizzard conditions in upstate New York gave cover to local looters over the weekend as they robbed businesses while police were stuck elsewhere.

Some businesses had their windows smashed and merchandise damaged and stolen as snow and ice pummeled the region, local TV station WRGZ reported.

Buffalo cops made a “few” arrests, according to city Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia, who added that investigations continue into other incidents after widespread reports of looting on social media.

The weather conditions limited the crime-fighting efforts of local law enforcement, with travelers’ stranded vehicles clogging roads and snow-related emergencies taking police away from their normal beats.

#BuffaloLooting was trending.

With the police busy dealing with people who underestimated the harshness of the weather, the Savages who prey upon the civilized set upon stores and businesses to pillage and plunder.

This shows just how tenuous our grasp on civilization really is.

Some sub zero temperatures and a few feet of snow and am American city goes Lord of the Flies.

This is why self reliance and the ability to self rescue are so important.

People will venture out and get stuck.  Law enforcement will go to rescue them.  The savages will use the lack of available law enforcement and the cover of darkness and bad weather to prey upon the helpless, and nobody will come to rescue you.

When the snow piles up, cracks will form in civilization and you are on your own.

Be prepared.

Check Butthurt here:

I’d bet this person has to use public transportation and lives in a pigeonhole in some Liberal urban area.  The idea that people could have a house and whatever accessories and add-ons to increase their comfort, drives him/her batty insane. “If I am miserable, everybody should miserable even if I have to come with some bullshit socialist excuse.”

And going from “they do not deserve to live like that” to “they do not deserve to live” is not a big jump for these people.
