Because Bank Robbers will be defeated by signs
I remember reading about this new idea a couple of years ago when it made the News that South Florida branches of Bank of America instituted the No Hats/Caps, No Sunglasses policy. Pretty much everybody laughed at the policy and even though I go very little inside the banks, the few times I went in I was never asked to remove my cap.
Now this bank is upping the ante by adding guns and hoodies to the warning sign. I am sure criminals are going to stop and go “Oh damn, we can’t go in! It is forbidden…shit, we better go.”
And since Georgia GFZ signs do not really make it illegal for a legally permitted citizen to carry, I don’t see why would anybody even pay attention to the darned thing. More than likely, a bunch of overpriced lawyers came up with this stupidity because they needed to demonstrate that the retainer paid to the firm is actually being used, but by now they should know it is useless and more than likely give the bank a bad name among those clients who are actually making voluntary deposits instead of a forcibly withdraw.
Let’s face it, those signs have the same effect on stopping criminals as a “No soliciting” sign has on stopping Jehovah Witnesses from banging on your door on an early Saturday morning.
Reader Jeff A. sent me this last week, so apologies for the memory lapse and hat tip.
It is going to be an interesting week.
I really don’t want to be in the shoes of anybody in the Secret Service’s Trump Detail. I understand that 99.99999% of the idiots mouthing off in social media are just being idiots, but still has to be an amazing amount of pressure on them.
Anyway, I know I am going to have a ball watching the Libs totally losing it this week. By Thursday night, I expect some of them setting themselves on fire or jumping off some tall edifices or maybe going as far as getting a new piercing or tat.
Don’t forget to have your favorite adult beverage at hand and enjoy the moonbattery.
Cocks not brains
Cocks Not Glocks has decided that in an effort to be taken even less seriously than they are now, they want to intercede in the plans of some neo-Nazis to march in Whitefish, Montana.
You read that right, they want to fight neo-Nazis with clowns.
Local human rights groups tend to follow Michelle Obama’s maxim: “When they go low, we go high.” But shaving your head and toting a gun and calling your antics “the revolution” isn’t exactly “going low.” It’s absurd. And Anglin’s neo-Nazis aren’t literal Nazis. They’re just dicks.
It was an epic troll that defused tensions and reset the narrative. “These absurd things speak for themselves,” Jin says. “Why would we need to add to the noise and shout over it when we could just put a spotlight on it?”
Neo-Nazis have suffered similar humiliations. In Charlotte, North Carolina, one 2012 march was met with counter-protesters dressed as clowns and delivering the message, “You look silly.”
Good plan, good plan. Have a bunch of Social Justice Warriors show up to face off against some armed neo-Nazis dressed as clowns brandishing dildos. That is only going to end well, with some hearty belly laughs and the neo-Nazis slinking home defeated. It’s going to be like an 80’s teen comedy movie and is in no way going to be a temptation for some white supremacists to relive Mississippi in 1964.
I remember reading about another group of brave Americans who stood up to Nazis while wearing face paint. I don’t think they were dressed as clowns though.
Because there is nothing new under the sun, I am aware of another advocate of marital aids who also stood up people violently hostile to the idea of Jews living where they wanted to live: Dr Ruth Westheimer. When she stood up to the Egyptians and Jordanians, she wasn’t armed with a big rubber penis, she had a sniper rifle.
Q: What is Yiddish for “get out of my desert?”
A: 8mm Mauser
Now I’m not advocating getting into a running gun battle with some neo-Nazis in small town Montana. They have the right to march, and if they cause trouble let the cops handle that.
I’m just not sure that a bunch of angry, armed, neo-Nazis are going to be intimidated by college kids waving rubber dicks. I don’t take Cocks not Glocks seriously, why would the Nazis. You want to show bullies that you are not afraid of them, you show them that if they hit you, you are prepared to knock them down and kick them in the kidneys until they piss blood.
If Cocks not Glocks wants to make fools the themselves in Montana, that is their right. If I were going to make a show of things, I would want to make it clear that if the neo-Nazis actually posed a threat to my family, I would go absolutely fucking Bear Jew on them.
More Pulse denial
I was going through some of Everytown’s old posts and notices two more covering Pulse Nightclub related stories that completely whitewash what actually happened for the benefit of the Liberal narrative.
and
The first links to this article in People Magazine, Float with 49 Roses Honors Pulse Nightclub Shooting Victims – Plus All the Details from the Rose Parade!
The massive float featured a bed of roses with 49 white stars. A large, white dove sat above a pair of rainbows near a large oak tree. Forty-nine people were killed and at least 53 more were injured at the gay-friendly hot spot in Orlando, Florida, when a gunman opened fire there on June 12, authorities have said.
According to People, authorities said the shooter was a random gunman?
The later post links to this article from ESPNFC, Orlando City dedicates section in stadium to Pulse shooting victims.
Major League Soccer club Orlando City on Wednesday unveiled 49 rainbow-colored seats in section 12 of its new stadium as a tribute to the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting.
On June 12, 49 people were killed at the Orlando nightclub when a lone gunman entered the establishment and opened fire.
Orlando City chose the rainbow colors with the hashtag Orlando United on each seat to represent its mission to be an “inclusive, diverse and welcoming community.” The rest of the seats in the brand-new downtown stadium are purple and white.
When I first saw this post I was tempted to make a joke along the lines of, if any sports team in the Orlando area was going to come out of the closet, it would be soccer.
But I just can’t get over ESPN’s “lone gunman” description of the Pulse shooter.
People, ESPN, and Everytown are contorting the truth to avoid using the term terrorism. We know that the Pulse shooter was an ISIS inspired Islamic terrorist. The antis and Left leaning media is doing its best to gaslight the nation into forgetting that this was another act of terrorism and instead a random mass shooting. They need the Pulse shooting to be an excuse for gun control and not warning that we need to have better counter terrorism surveillance of Americans who travel to the Middle East and consume Islamist materials online.
Blinding ourselves to the truth because it is not a nice truth for the Left, e.g., Islam is a religion of peace, the problem is easy access to guns, ins’t just how you get Trump, it’s how you get more Pulse style shootings.
The Left is pushing a message that is going to sacrifice people on the alter of political correctness. It needs to stop.
Expert opinion
Moms Demand Action and Everytown complain ceaselessly about the fact the the CDC and NIH have limited Federal funds to research gun violence. Then they go ahead and post an article from the Economist stating that the AMA (American Medical Association) claims that Stand Your Ground laws increase the homicide rate.
Outside of the Bloomberg echo chamber, this is exactly why the CDC and NIH shouldn’t be doing research on guns.
During this same period, the crime rate in Florida and other SYG states has been decreasing. How can crime be going down but homicides be going up? That makes no sense.
Except… not all homicides are murders. As it turns out, most of the increase in homicides are justifiable. A lot more bad guys are being stopped by CCW permit holders.
Even the notoriously biased Politifact had to admit that the crime rate went down after the implementation of SYG with a “half true.” Half ture is the highest truth ranking that Politifact will give to a truth that would favor conservatives.
True that the decrease in crime is not only due to SYG. There are many other factors at play. But SYG did not increase the crime rate like the antis said it would, so they are going to hang their hat on the fact that it increased the overall number of people shot.
Outside of their bubble, most people won’t shed a tear when some potential rape victim takes out their rapist or some store clerk puts a bullet in a stickup man. We know that means there is one less rapist or mugger out there that we have to worry about. Only the antis wring their hands about the fact that some criminal is rendered room temperature by their intended victim.
This is why headlines are: “Stand Your Ground linked to an increase in homicides.” If there was a tie between SYG and an increase in murders, they’d say so.
This is the kind of important information that law enforcement statistics handles. Instead, a bunch of antis in white lab coats are only concerned about the number of people shot and killed and not the circumstances surround that number, such as justifiable defensive shootings. Sorry, but that is relevant information to me. Having some MD tell me that SYG is bad because more people got shot won’t turn me against guns when the full story from law enforcement is “more people got shot, but most of them were baddies.”
The article by the AMA is just distorting the facts. This is why gun violence shouldn’t be studied by the CDC/NIH/AMA/etc., it is lying while wearing a lab coat.
