My take on the City of Madison News Release about the arrest of five members of Wisconsin Carry Inc.

NEGROES & THE MPD

New Charges To Be Issued Regarding Culver’s Incident

The Madison Police Department (MPD) has conducted a review of an incident that took place this past Saturday night at Culver’s Frozen Custard restaurant, 4301 East Towne Blvd. Based upon the further investigation, Chief Noble Wray has concluded the appropriate charge for all 5 Negroes is Disorderly Conduct (DC). Accordingly, DC citations will be issued, and Obstructing a Peace Officer tickets given to two will be rescinded.

Officers were dispatched to the restaurant around 6:50 p.m. after a 62-year old Madison woman called 911. She had just observed several Negro men enter the crowded Culver’s restaurant. In her initial statement to officers, she stated” I didn’t know what the law was, and I thought I should at least call so the police can come and check it out cause I didn’t want to be that one person that saw Negroes and didn’t call, and then have something terrible happen”. In a follow-up interview with detectives, she further stated that she thought it was very odd that these individuals would be at a family place. She noted she felt somewhat “rattled” and also “felt uneasy” about the Negroes at the family restaurant. She went on to say that they all appeared calm, but noted “Negroes who shoot up restaurants also look calm before it happens.” She did state that she was very concerned that if she didn’t make the call and something did happen, she would feel horrible.

The MPD made contact Saturday night with the Negroes. Upon officers’ requests, three of five produced identification so that officers could determine they were not convicted criminals. Two of five refused to produce identification and were issued Obstructing a Peace Officer citations. It was determined they were not felons.

The officers were faced with an ambiguous situation. When responding to investigate suspicious – or potentially dangerous – circumstances, police must:

• Preserve or Restore Order and Public Safety.
• Investigate whether a crime had been committed, was being committed, or was about to be committed.
• Protect the Constitutional Rights of those involved.

The complainant’s statement clearly reveals that she recognized the potential for violence from these Negroes, and it was this fear that motivated her call to police. On the basis of this fact, the MPD will be rescinding the 2 obstructing citations. They were issued in error. Instead, citations for City Ordinance DC will be given to those who engaged in the behavior that led to the need for police to be called.

The DC statute does not require an actual disturbance take place, only that conduct in question is of a type that tends to cause or provoke a disturbance

Chief Wray wants to make clear: It is the department’s wish that concerned citizens call 911 when they see Negroes.

Following Saturday’s incident, he sent an internal memo to all officers:

MPD officers regularly are dispatched to reports of individuals who are Negroes. When responding to these incidents, officers should:

• Approach the suspect using the proper tactical response. The individual should be contacted, controlled, and frisked for weapons if appropriate. Officers should separate the suspect from any weapons in his/her possession during the encounter.

• Officers should conduct a thorough investigation to determine whether any violations of state statute or city ordinance have occurred. Some of the relevant offenses to consider include:
• Carrying a Concealed Weapon (§941.23)
• Disorderly Conduct (§947.01)
• Carrying a Firearm in Public Building (§941.235)
• Carrying Handgun Where Alcohol Beverages May be Sold and Consumed (§941.237)
• Being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm (§941.29)
• Safe Use and Transportation of Firearms (§167.31)
• Possession of Short-Barreled Shotgun or Short-Barreled Rifle (§941.28)
• Gun-free School Zones (§948.605)
• Possession of a Dangerous Weapon by a Person Under 18 (§948.60)
• Endangering Safety by Use of Dangerous Weapon (§941.20)

• Officers should verify that the firearm is not stolen, and attempt to verify that the Negro possessing the firearm is not legally barred from doing so (as a felon, due to an injunction, (Jim Crow’s Law,) etc.). However, someone who has been detained is not legally obligated to provide identification to officers if no criminal ordinance violations have occurred. A person who refuses to provide identification should not be arrested for obstructing; however, if probable cause for another offense exists the suspect should be arrested for that offense and can then be identified during the citation or booking process.

• When responding to incidents involving subjects openly Negro in public places, officers should investigate to determine whether the suspect’s actions caused or were likely to cause a disturbance. The primary factors to be considered include the location, time of day and witness/bystander perceptions. Remember that the disorderly conduct statute does not require that an actual disturbance take place, only that the conduct in question be of a type that tends to cause or provoke a disturbance.

• It is my expectation that MPD officers encountering individuals who are Negroes in public places will take a pro-enforcement approach. If the investigation shows probable cause for a violation, the suspect should be arrested or cited.

Yes, it is incendiary and no, I am not playing the race card. Discrimination is discrimination and the gentlemen were not doing one damn illegal thing when a uneducated and frightened woman called 911 and was aided by a doubly uneducated operator who dispatched 8 even more so uneducated police officers to harass citizens complying with the law and exercising their rights. Will the City of Madison will send a SWAT team if I call 911 and report a Muslim man buying a box cutter at the local Home Depot is making me “uncomfortable”?

At least to me. Some examples of ammunition that are… weird & exotic. My personal “Huh?” cartridge have to be the .224 BOZ and .224 VOB (second pic, left bottom corner). Collection belongs to Matt Collins.

Hat Tip to Every Day, No Days Off.

How many times have we seen slasher movies where the cheerleader is the first one to get it? For one ex-boyfriend the old time movie narrative did not happen as planned.

The armed intruder exchanged gunfire with his ex-girlfriend, Mackenzie Rae Putnal, after putting a gun to her head Monday night, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office….. When he ordered the couple to sit on the floor, she escaped downstairs in her parents’ home and grabbed a gun, police said. They shot at each other and both missed.

Good for Ms.Putnal and women in general. Although the Ex had a restraining order (which was ignored as usual) she had the wherewithal of not allowing herself become a victim, got a gun,  fought back and survived the attack.

I will not make any comments on her selection of male companionship. She might need some help on choosing better specimens. Two losers on a row may indicate a problem there. But she can surely kick some butt 😉

A couple of idiots and a webcam now have the distinction of having sent a guy plummeting to his death. And I am the dangerous one.

If you thought the assault on the NRA endorsements ended with the Harry Reid send-off, you are sorely mistaken. Apparently the NRA must now receive approval from certain “uncompromisable” bloggers (and probably not NRA members) before being able to think about publishing any kind or release endorsing anybody or anything. Here is the funny thing: they are talking about candidates that have come to their attention only because the NRA endorsed them and somebody did not like it. We have people criticizing the NRA for endorsing somebody they know nothing about five states over where they live, but since somebody told them that the NRA should have gone the other way just because, now they are pouncing as if the NRA-PVF was endorsing the offspring of Pol-Pot and Aileen Wuornos. There is a difference between critical analysis and rabid deprecatory speech but they somehow seem to miss the difference.

But what really ticks me off is that the “critics” feel that you, me and everybody else are too frigging dumb to make our own decisions and that we will blindly follow what the NRA says. How dare they? Who died and made you Lord Overseer Reader and Controller of the Minds? How come do you have the tse-tse fly induced inflated testicles to assume I am some idiotic low form of sub-par life incapable of making my own analysis and that you must come to the rescue of my poor feeble mind? Incidentally, isn’t that the same thing the opposition does? That we are too dumb to make the decisions about having guns and that we are not smart enough, prepared enough or ready enough to exercise our Second amendment rights? Why are you doing the same thing about my right to vote?

I and many Gun Owners are smart enough to look all over the issues pertaining a candidate and we will weigh carefully our decision before popping the chad, pulling the lever or pushing the button. So stop telling me and everybody else for whom to vote. If you feel the need to strong arm somebody to have them vote the way you want it, go join the New Black Panther Party or local Union.

……………………………………………………………………………..

PS: Now, if you feel that strong about having the NRA measure each possible combination in life before endorsing anyone, I propose that they should go through the following list and gave us their pickings before they do anything else.

Dear NRA: Please choose the one you want to endorse and explain carefully if you want my vote and a nice post in my blog:

1. Best TV father: Homer Simpson, Mike Brady, Archie Bunker.
2. Jennifer Lopez or Steven Tyler as judges for American idol.
3. Taste Great or Less Filling. (I know, I am that old)
4. Pepsi One or Coke Zero.
5. Rocky Road, Butter Pecan or Moose Tracks.
6. Old Hawaii 5-0 or New Hawaii 5-0.
7. 9mm vs .45acp. vs .40 S&W.
8. Tactical Black, Army Digital Cammo or MarPat.
9. Best fries are from McDonalds or Burger King or Wendy’s.
10. Blondes, Brunettes or Redheads.
    (Note: No matter how you answer, it will be the wrong thing.)

According to His very High-ness Richard Daley, cops in Chicago face a threat from a new type of gun (New at least to me), the Semi-Fully Automatic Weapon.

“Many times [the police are] outgunned, to be very frank,” Daley said at an event in the Englewood neighborhood. “When they come to a scene, someone has a semi-fully-automatic weapon, and you have a little pistol, uh, good luck.”

In a way, I think I am gonna miss him. It is not every day you find such level of idiocy emanating from the head of a major city.

For those illustrated souls that think you can stop violent deranged people from killing innocents with just a restraining order and a call to 911:

RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A man shot and killed his estranged wife and four of his stepchildren and then killed himself early Monday, but he spared his two biological children, police said….Police said there was a restraining order against Dell, who was in the midst of a divorce from his wife. He had gone after his wife with a knife in December, telling her “you will be going to the morgue,” police said.

He kept his word and now they are dead.
