Thirteen people were shot, two are dead in what Police Chief Dale Lane called “the most horrific event that’s occurred in Collierville history.”

One of the two dead is the shooter, who was found at the back of the store killed by what officials believe was a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Lane said.

Collierville shooting: Shooter dead, 13 injured in mass shooting today (tennessean.com)

According to other media sources, the shooter was a disgruntled employee. Nothing yet on why was he disgruntled or if he had mental conditions and if he gave enough hints for what he was about to do.

“You don’t expect these kinds of things to happen in Collierville,”

It is said that the mind is the weapon. But the quote above shows that the mind is the weapon which produced a self-inflicted wound.

Carrying a weapon requires discipline with rule #1 being Always Carry. I don’t know where or when a criminal or a psycho is going attack, so I have to be ready to reply with deadly force at a fraction of a second’s time. And maybe your reflexes are peak and you are in optimal physical condition, but handgun will beat empty hand 99 times out of a hundred.

And I understand that carrying can be a nuisance and a bother. Your employee may not allow it or your stylish clothing is not conductive to wearing a gun safely and constantly. You are an adult and you must own to the consequences of your choices, specially where we are living in an age where we have such a variety of handguns, they can cover pretty much any kind of garment situation in a comforting manner.   Life does not end if you cannot carry a full size 1911, sometimes a simple .380 can be the patch for a particular moment.

We must not only not think “I never thought this could happen here/to me” but also prep as if it would happen in the next 30 seconds. We are the people who think about fields of fire, cover and backstops if we are attacked while taking a poop while sitting in the throne. It ain’t Low Drag or Tactical Ninja cool, but neither is reality.

Always Carry. Always have a plan. Always be ready to take action.

If you’re crying because a system the protects Jewish children from Hamas rockets, you should ask yourself:

It’s funny how the Libertarians always find a way of ending up on the side of “let the Jewish children get murdered.”

He stands by his principles.  His principles are shit.

The Army’s Promised “Ike”Jacket Is Happening

Recently, USAFRICOM released this photo of Commanding General, Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, U.S. Army, wearing a prototype Ike Jacket as part of the World War Two-inspired Army Green Service Uniform. The optional item has been promised since the AGSU’s adoption along with a “bomber jacket.”

Last week, I saw MG Anthony Potts, PEO Soldier wearing one at DSEi in London but his aide kept him moving when I attempted to ask him about the jacket.

It’s happening; helpfully we’ll know the timeline soon.

I plan on casting a no vote.

White House opposes NDAA provision banning dishonorable discharge for COVID-19 vaccine refusal
Bill would prohibit service members from receiving a dishonorable discharge for refusing vaccine

The White House said it “strongly opposes” a provision in the 2022 defense spending bill that would block the Pentagon from dishonorably discharging a service member who refuses to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

A section in the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act would limit military commanders’ options for disciplining those who fail to comply with the vaccination mandate, the White House Office of Management and Budget said in a statement of administration policy Wednesday.

Section 716 of the NDAA would prohibit service members who are discharged over vaccine refusal from receiving anything other than an honorable discharge, noting that “many Americans have reservations about taking a vaccine that has only been available for less than a year.”

The Pentagon has described the vaccine mandate as a “lawful order” that must be obeyed.

“To enable a uniformed force to fight with discipline, commanders must have the ability to give orders and take appropriate disciplinary measures,” the White House said in a statement.

There are many reasons a military that is made up of mostly young, healthy people might not want to take a vaccine with little clinical history for a virus that is not likely to be a great threat to them.

If punishment is warranted (I’m not arguing that it should be or the mandate is reasonable), then separation from the military should be sufficient.  Such personnel would forfeit their careers, retirement, and benefits.

A dishonorable discharge makes these military personnel into prohibited persons.  It’s tantamount to a domestic violence or felony conviction.  A dishonorable discharge keeps these people from getting jobs in the civilian world.

The Biden Administration wants to burn our military who refuse vaccination out of being employable as civilians and stop them from being legal gun owners.

This is clearly driven by an assumption that any soldier who refuses the vaccine is not ideologically aligned with Biden and desire to ruin these people’s lives forever.

This is obscenely vindictive for a Commander in Chief to do to his troops.

Also, I feel the need to point out that the punishment for refusing a vaccine in the Army is higher than the punishment for warning an enemy about an attack through back channels or authorizing a drone strike on an aid worker’s family that kills seven kids.

Two Afghan Evacuees Charged with Crimes

In unrelated cases, two individuals have been charged with crimes while at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Bahrullah Noori, 20, is charged with attempting to engage in a sexual act with a minor using force against that person, and with three counts of engaging in a sexual act with a minor, with one count alleging the use of force. The indictment alleges that that the victims had not attained the age of 16 years and were at least four years younger than the defendant.

Mohammad Haroon Imaad, 32, is charged with assaulting his spouse by strangling and suffocating her. The indictment alleges that the assault occurred on September 7, 2021.

Noori and Imaad were charged previously in complaints filed in U.S. District Court. They made initial appearances in Madison on September 16 and are being detained at the Dane County Jail. Noori and Imaad are scheduled for arraignment tomorrow, September 23, at 9:30 a.m. and 10:15 a.m., respectively, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen L. Crocker.

If convicted, Noori faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 30 years and a maximum of life in federal prison on the charges alleging use of force, and a maximum penalty of 15 years on the other two charges. Imaad faces a maximum penalty of 10 years. The charges against them are the result of investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Fort McCoy Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Taylor Kraus is handling the Noori prosecution and Assistant U.S. Attorney Zachary Corey is handling the Imaad prosecution.
