Shoot him in the dick – Jacksonville edition
Video from the Jacksonville Dollar General shooting.
It looks like he’s wearing a plate carrier of some sort.
I haven’t read that he was wearing armor, but it’s not an unreasonable assumption to think he was with that rig.
Your CCW gun won’t punch through plates.
A mag dump into the space between the top of his dick and the bottom of his belly button will shatter the pelvis and put him on the ground.
Nobody is walking with a broken pelvis.
If you’re lucky you’ll hit the descending aorta, iliac, and/or femoral arteries, and he’ll bleed out in about 30 seconds.
If not, you have the ability to maneuver into a position where a more instantly lethal shot can be taken.
I would be violent
Years ago I wrote this post:
The difference between Americans and Venezuelans (hopefully)
It was in response to this picture from an article about the Communist famine in Venezuela.
At the time, I quoted a friend of mine who sent me the article:
“Please, tell me they failed because they didn’t try socialism hard enough. Because, God knows, if that were my daughter or wife, I’d wage a crusade against that regime that would be written about for hundreds of years.”
I agreed.
I never thought I’d see the same happen in America.
I was wrong.
Parents find remains of teen son hugging dead dog in Maui home destroyed by wildfire
Grieving parents found the body of their 14-year-old adopted son hugging his dead dog after the Maui wildfires — then carried him around half a mile to a police station to be confirmed among the dead.
Schoolboy Keyiro Fuentes had been home alone enjoying his last day of summer break when the deadliest US wildfires in a century started overwhelming his neighborhood in Lahaina, his mother, Luz Vargas, told CBS News.
The mom was working five miles away at the time — and unable to get home when she saw the smoke, despite begging cops to let her through their barriers.
When she and the rest of her family managed to search their home two days later, they found Keyiro’s charred body wrapped around his dead dog, the sobbing mom told CBS.
The family then wrapped Keyiro’s body in a tarp, carrying the remains half a mile to the nearest police station.
I am telling you right now: If my children are in harm’s way, and you try and stop me from getting to them, I will kill you and run your barricade.
If the government caused my children to die in a fire, I promise you, the result will be war.
The entire local government of Maui deserves to be forced onto their knees in front of a ditch.
I smoked a couple of butts today.
The porcine kind. 17 pounds to be precise.
Seasoned with my secret recipe of rub spices which you have read about plenty times before and can be bought commercially. The mustard acts as binder to keep the rub in place and allegedly adds no flavor and truly I have not noticed.
These are the butts after 5 hours of smoking with hickory and about to be wrapped. My “wrap is to place them in a disposable aluminum pan and cover with foil so I don’t lose the juices and the butt remains very moist. MY apologies, but I forgot to take a picture of that step. They went back in for another 4 hours and 40 minutes of very moderate heat (220 F to 250 F)
The butts are done. One is already shredded and the other one intact for comparison purposes.
Final weight of pulled pork was 10.5 lbs. A bit over a pound of fat was trimmed prior seasoning and the bones were almost a pound, so we rendered almost 5 pounds in the process.
I calculate that this particular batch came just some cents over $4 a pound. I had mentioned a lower amount in another post, but pork prices went up about 40 cents since the last time I made pulled pork. Still beats the hell out of my local BBQ pit who went on from $11 to almost $14 a pound.
And before you ask, here is the recipe I follow as base. I may have added my particular touches, but you cannot go wrong here.
The mass shooting you didn’t hear about
Yesterday, a racist nut-job killed three people then himself in a Dollar General in Florida. The media have swarmed all over that like flies on fresh shit, because it hits every button for them: white guy, black victims, racism, AR-15s, happening in Florida so they can blame it on DeSantis, etc.
On Wednesday, three people were killed in a mass shooting that you didn’t hear about.
Why?
3 killed in Southern California bar shooting by former cop who attacked his estranged wife
At least three people were killed and six more wounded after a former police officer opened fire in a shooting that appeared to target his estranged wife at an iconic biker bar in Southern California’s Orange County Wednesday evening, authorities said. The gunman is also dead.
The suspect was killed by “multiple” deputies who confronted him minutes after they arrived, Orange County Sheriff’s Department Undersheriff Jeff Hallock told reporters at a late night briefing.
Snowling was a former sergeant with the Ventura Police Department who retired in 2014, Barnes said, noting that the gunman lived in Ohio but also had a home in Southern California.
“We believe he traveled from Ohio with an ongoing dispute regarding the separation and pending divorce with his wife,” Barnes said.
Barnes said Snowling entered the bar with two firearms and went “directly” to his wife. There was no argument or exchange before Snowling opened fire, shooting his wife once, Barnes said.
Snowling then began firing “randomly” at other people both inside and outside the bar, Barnes said. After leaving the inside of Cook’s Corner, Snowling went to his truck and got a third handgun and a shotgun. Someone confronted Snowling at that point, but he was shot and killed, Barnes said.
That’s why. This story contains all the buttons the media has to avoid:
Only police and retired police can be trusted with guns.
California has great gun control laws so mass shootings don’t happen there.
If it didn’t happen with an AR-15, it didn’t happen.
A cop went in a mass shooting rampage with handguns in California? Unpossible, and you’re not going to hear about it.
But this story gets worse.
California Governor Gavin Newsom never misses an opportunity to be a piece of shit.
His official statement was just a sales pitch for Red Flag Laws.
In the wake of last night’s mass shooting in Trabuco Canyon that left at least three victims dead and six individuals wounded, Governor Gavin Newsom today issued a statement regarding the incident and urged all Californians to use the state’s “red flag” laws. Red flag laws allow victims of domestic violence, family members, coworkers, and others to seek protective orders to prohibit potentially dangerous individuals and abusers from possessing guns.
“Once again, a siege of bullets has shaken a community and torn families apart,” said Governor Newsom. “California mourns for the victims of last night’s horrific shooting at Cook’s Corner.
“As we continue to learn more details about this act of violence, there are early reports that this horror was related to a domestic dispute.
“This type of trauma is unfortunately not isolated. Two-thirds of mass shooters in America have a history of domestic violence. Victims and survivors in California should know they are never alone — we have tools and resources to support and protect you. Our state’s red flag laws allow victims, family members, coworkers, and others to work with local law enforcement and the courts to safely remove guns from those who may be a potential threat.
“We must continue to strengthen, defend, and use these laws. If you see red flags, say something — and in doing so, save lives.”
Who need empathy for the victims when there is gun control to push before the dead are even cold.
And, just as a side note, knowing law enforcement, is there a chance in hell that a Red Flag warning on a cop by an ex-wife would go anywhere? Or would fellow officers just ignore that?
We’re going to spend the next few months with everyone using the Jacksonville shooting as a cudgel against DeSantis.
When a cop I’m California goes on a mass shooting, nobody says shit about it.
H/T: The Wife
A movie for your consideration: Sorcerer (1977)
Suspense is a poor word applied to this film, especially if you have ever done true of-roading in crappy weather conditions. Just a reminder, there was no such thing as CGI in 1977.
If the scenes and locations look real, there might be a reason. From the IMDB page:
Besides internal on-set conflicts, William Friedkin said that approximately fifty people “had to leave the film for either injury or gangrene,” as well as food poisoning and malaria. In The Friedkin Connection he added that “almost half the crew went into the hospital or had to be sent home.” Friedkin himself lost fifty pounds (23 kg) and was stricken with malaria, which was diagnosed after the film’s premiere.
There is no such thing as a the pastoral notion of “Rain Forest,” there is only the Jungle and its always trying to kill you.
