“Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast.”
I loved the “twang”, it was a melodious impact.
PS: I know that is not quite the quote, but it fits.
Update: Reader MiniMe offered that this has shades of El Kabong!
I cannot disagree with that.
Where a Redneck Jew, a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
I referred to this defensive use of a gun in another post. This gentleman makes an obvious remark:
And that is exactly what they want. The Left and the Opposition cannot advance their agenda unless there are bodies stacking up they can say it was because o “Gun Violence.” Also, no bodies, no donations.
If eliminating Stand Your Ground transforms Florida into a place where Self-Defense can legally be made a crime, they will win no matter how many corpses it take. It is not like they are dying, right?
You will not see these celebrity Gun Grabbers in the Inner Cities protesting in front of the local drug-dealing abandoned house. But Hogg is special: He is protesting in what possibly is the safest block in America on a day that nobody is working and has bodyguards with him.
Little asshole is fearless, ain’t him?
Dear (fill the blank).
I have just heard that State Democrats are once again pushing for the elimination of Stand Your Ground law and, once again, based in an unfortunate casein which Stand Your Ground did not apply.
The amount of disinformation regarding how Stand Your Ground applies is simply amazing and the Media is doing nothing to dispel it. They have been used data from Tampa newspapers to claim it is a racist law when the same data also tell us that the number of African Americans benefiting from Stand Your Ground are twice all other ethnicities combined.
Again, contrary what the Media and Democrats have been telling, Stand Your Ground is not a recent NRA/Koch Brothers creation, but it is a long-established legal interpretation by the Supreme Court of the United States dating back over a century: Beard v. United States – 158 U.S. 550 (1895). Rowe v. U S, (1896) and Brown v. United States, 256 U.S. 335 (1921).
Every single pro-gun and pro-self defense law enacted since the mid 80s had helped reduce violent crime in Florida. This is not fantasy, check the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Uniform Crime Report and see how even though our population has almost double, crime rated have dropped to rates not seen since the 1960s.
I ask you not to be taken by the emotional appeals of some misguided individuals that will wave the bloody shirt in front of your face, but to take in consideration that the cold hard facts is that any law that helps South Floridians freely exercise the most basic of human rights, self-defense, needs to be protected.
Thank you for your time.
Democratic leaders have secured signatures from the necessary 20 percent of Florida House and the Senate members to require Secretary of State Ken Detzner to poll all legislators as soon as Monday about convening a special session to address the state’s controversial ‘Stand Your Ground’ law.
“Breaking News: Proud to announce we’ve gained enough signatures in support of special session on the ‘Stand Your Ground Law,’” tweeted Sen. Kionne McGhee, D-Cutler Bay, the House Minority Leader-designate, Saturday. “Secretary of State has to begin polling legislators.”
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is serious stuff. They will not be happy with simply reversing SYG but I am sure they will impose Duty to Retreat and Self-Defense in Florida, for all intents and purposes, will be dead.
Time to contact you state congresscritter and let him now you do NOT want SYG infringed in any way. Remind them cordially that elections are upcoming.

The new season begins October 5. If you have not seen it yet, please do. Season one seems a bit sluggish, but that literally changes in the last episode. I was ready to dump it and I went “HOLY FRIGGING PONIES OF CRAP!”
And the other thing Amazon did good was snatching The Expanse from inglorious death after the morons of SyFy decided to cancel the series. At the Gonzalez castle, we are ONE episode left from finishing the third season and the missus agrees with me: What the heck (she does not cuss) was SyFy thinking about?
And one last recommendation, also from Amazon:
Short stories from Philip K. Dick, one per episode. I am guessing I may need to pick up some books from him since one of my three great SciFi movies is based on one of his books: Blade Runner. His themes run alongside pretty much the current of anti-utopia which was what I was raised on (1984 – A Brave New World) and made me dislike anything else Science Fiction.
I did not tell you? I am NOT a SciFi fan. Just like my stories about the future, bleak and hopeless.
According to the people in Berkeley and supporters anyway. From censoring speech to White slavery, mugshots are a threat to the fabric of the country.
Or some horseshit like that, go on and read yourselves.
You have to admit, they’d make great TV lawyers but only in shows that allow a total suspension of disbelief and common sense.
