Living with Monkeys

One of the strangest things I saw back in South America when I was growing up, was people keeping monkeys as pets. At first, you think it is a good idea as they look cute and do funny stuff, but after a while they become a pest to everybody in the neighborhood. It would not take long for a monkey to start attacking other pets and kill them if they were small enough. If you kept chickens, an uncontrolled monkey would break in the coop and kill them. And forget about having cats unless they were feral and very nasty on their own.

And that lack of respect for life and orderly life soon translated to humans: Monkeys simply do not like humans other than the owner and probably because they got fed by them. Slinging poo is not just an expression, monkeys will use their own feces to tag people just for fun. Small children? You could bet a neighborhood kid would end up with bite marks somewhere in his/her body from the local ape. I knew of a case of one monkey that attacked a teen girl and ripped chunks of hair from her head.

The owners of the monkeys would try to take measures to keep them under control. They would keep them leashed and even caged, but the little bastards were smart enough to bypass the latches and other devices, run loose and create mayhem. And if they were secured in such a way that their escape was impossible, then the would turn on the owner by means of ambush during feeding time…and they were nasty about it with a trip to the local hospital mostly assured.

In the end, the owner was forced by events (and threats of bodily harm) to come to his senses and get rid of the furry bastard. Stories of having the apes poisoned or shot by their owners or neighbors were not uncommon. The enlightened souls would call the authorities who would retrieve the offending creature and either take it to a zoo or release it into the wild, far away from the original home because the little fuckers would come back to what now they considered their turf.

I guess the lesson you can take is that just because they look cute, exotic and somewhat like humans does not mean they are fit to live among us. And that if we allow them to do so, we better be prepared to deal with their shit and teeth by employing necessary drastic measures that may offend delicate and inclusive souls.

 

Peak Transparancy

President Obama once said that his administration was the “most transparent” ever.  A lot of people say “no” to that, his administration has denied a record 77% of FOIA requests.  He has gone after a record number of whistleblowers.  He lies about everything, all the time.

But if you read between the lines, I think it is true, in an ironic sort of way.

When a radical Islamic extremist terrorist, named Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel from Tunisia, opened fire on and drove a truck through a crowd of people in France killing at least 84 and wounding hundreds of others, Obama vows to work with the French government to “investigate this attack and bring those responsible to justice.”

When a radical Islamic extremist gunman of unknown motivation, named Omar Mir Seddique Mateen of Pashtun heritage, killed 49 people and wounded 50 more after pledging allegiance to ISIS (nothing to see here) Obama and his counterparts on the Left make a push for gun control.

The transparency is in their actions.  They display, almost daily, how little they like Americans, especially those who disagree with them, or our civil liberties.

Waking up is hard. Not waking up is stupid.

Protester Fausto Cardenas, a University of Central Florida student, said Pulse had been a “safe space” for him and other members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
“To not feel safe in a space like that was a very impactful thing for us,” said Fausto, who wasn’t arrested Monday. “We want to hold people accountable.”

Mr. Cardenas was part of a “Sit-In” at Senator Marco Rubio’s office in protest for “Florida Republican’s opposition to same-sex marriage and the support he has gotten from the National Rifle Association” and demanding “all politicians to reject contributions from the NRA and want tighter restrictions on assault weapons, as well as universal background checks for anyone seeking to purchase a gun.”

These are not the thoughts of an adult. This is a man-child, stomping his feet in the middle of K-Mart because mommy did not buy him the toy he thinks he is entitled to just because he exhales carbon dioxide in a regular manner.

There is No Such Thing As A Safe Space.

And you will get none by restricting Civil Liberties or the Right to Self Defense. You have the right to be a victim all you want, but you do not have the right to mandate victimization on the rest of us. Omar Mateen was thoroughly checked by the FBI and still went on to murder 49 of your brethen, yet you still want UBCs? How narrow-minded, herd-minded can you be to bypass that huge detail? I have not see such beautifully choreographed lock-stepping since watching Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Fausto, time for you to grow up…or at least a pair. Shed the chains, become an individual responsible for your own safety. Nobody owes you a damn thing.

Will Shannon Watts open her arms to this Mom Demanding more Gun Control?


The heartsick mom of Dallas shooter Micah Johnson is pleading for gun control in the wake of her son’s fatal shooting of five Dallas cops.Delphene Johnson said she didn’t “blame the guns” for her son’s senseless July 7 killings but called unrestricted access to high-capacity assault weapons and open-carry laws “messed up.” “You don’t need an arsenal. There really should be a limit. The type of guns for the military should not be made public,” the grieving mom and her husband James told TheBlaze in an exclusive interview that aired Wednesday. “We need gun control.”

I mean, she is hitting each and every Moms Demand/Everytown talking point to perfection. She could be a great spokesperson!

C’mon Shannon! Have a heart! She is also the victim of Gun Violence!

 

Good Guy with a Gun is a lie! (Till events say otherwise)

CSGV Good guy lie Waffle House

There is simply no evidence that a Good Guy with a Gun stops criminals! Look at what happen in Dallas! Right?

But then,  the same day Sen Murphy is trying to sell that line of crap, this happens:

A robber armed with an AK-47 assault weapon stormed a Texas Waffle House, only to be shot by a pistol-packing customer, police say.The suspect, whose identity police are still trying to confirm, was in critical condition Monday after last week’s gun battle in a Dallas suburb…

…One customer, who was legally carrying a concealed handgun, followed the robber into the parking lot because he was afraid for the safety of his wife, who was on her way to the Waffle House. The customer called out to the robber, who turned and pointed the rifle at him, police said. The customer then shot the robber several times. The robbery suspect, who police later identified as 26-year-old Antione Devon Cooper of Dallas, was taken to a hospital, where he is on life support.Police said the customer was not arrested.

Imagine that! But we were told that is unimpossible! And that a concealed carrier would end up shooting every innocent person around too! How does this happened? And why is not the shooter arrested? Isn’t the life of the robber also important? #AllCriminalLivesMatter !

I tell you what folks: It is tiresome to have to do this sarcasm every day, but we are facing idiots and political scumbags with the dedication of kamikaze but unfortunately without the consequences.

Let’s just keep doing it and making it fun. We will win.

No Cyberdyne among us: The use of the Bomb Disposal robot in Dallas.

There is a hearty discussion going on about the use of the bomb disposal robotic unit to take out Micah Johnson in Dallas. Truthfully, I do not see a problem and I am certain most people complaining about its use are being misguided by the improper use of the term robot.

killer robot

When we hear the word robot, all kinds of imagery associated with science fiction pops to mind and not all very nice. But the truth is that the apparatus used in Dallas is nothing more than an over-engineered remote control car or truck just like you could buy at the local hobby shop.

Contrary to the Hollywood device, the bomb disposal robot has not decision-making capability on its own. It was controlled by a human the whole time and delivered its payload to the asshole on command of the human directing it. It is simply a mechanical tool used to maintain distance and thus safety, between the police officers and the dangerous criminal, same as a rifle is used by a police sniper from a secured location.

My issues would be the need to establish the proper protocol to use of explosives in both quantity and narrowly defined event to take out a dangerous individual. C4 is not as “precise” as a .308 bullet and the collateral damage to booth humans and structures are something to be examined with the utmost care. This needs to be studies with care and the individuals within a Police Department who would be in charge of the explosives must be trained to the hilt. “We did not know there was a gas line over there” will not be a valid excuse in court. Specially since there is a police history of f****ing up big time with explosives.
