That is gonna leave a mark. Felony rioting is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Even if they get the cases dismissed, I am guessing a DC Lawyer does not come cheap, even if Soros is really behind this crap.

View from the other side

Another day since November 8, another protest.  I can’t really tell one from the next at this point.

CNN explains why this protest is happening.  Illegal immigrant Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos, was deported to Mexico after being here in the US for 21 years.  And it’s all Trump’s fault.

OK, so why is she being deported now?  Anybody want to clue me in?

CNN finally tosses out one tiny detail that is key to understanding this:

She was arrested in 2008 during a workplace raid and convicted one year later of felony criminal impersonation.

That’s right.  Ms. Garcia de Rayos was guilty of identity theft, using a fraudulent Social Security Number.

Now not just am I glad they deported her, I hope they deported her to Nogales with a catapult, and I hope ICE gives each and every one of those protesters some stick time.

I was the victim of identity theft.  I went into the hospital for surgery when I was still in grad school.  Of course the hospital takes all your information when you sign in.  I found out sometime way later, that a disgruntled hospital employee stole the surgery center’s patient records and sold all the personal information on the black market.

Let me tell you how that fucked up my life for years afterwards.

My credit score went to hell.  I didn’t know until one day my credit card was canceled because my credit score was too low for me to qualify for the card.  People had racked up over a quarter of a million dollars of debt in my name.  For three years, I didn’t get a tax return because someone else claimed it in my name.  I had to go to the IRS with my long form birth certificate to get enrolled in their PIN system to get a unique number to file for my taxes.

I tried to buy a house when I graduated.  I should be beatified for the patience I showed with the mortgage company trying to figure out which debts were mine and which were fraudulent.

People tried to empty by bank account TWICE.

I have to have redundant passwords on everything.

People committed crimes in my name and I had to go to the local Sheriffs department in South Dakota to prove I was not the person arrested in California on a felony charge.  Yes, that person was an illegal with a fraudulent ID obtained with my SSN.

It took me about five years to get my records straightened out and my credit score back to where it was.

I came away from that experience with the firm belief that identity theft should be a capital offense.

So boo hoo hoo that this woman is being deported and taken away from her kids.

I believe 100% that using fraudulent information should be grounds for immediate deportation.

It is not a victimless crime.   There are literally tens of millions of people whose entire personal financial future is at stake because of identity theft.

This woman is getting no sympathy from me.

Breaking news! Florida’s CS/SB 128: Self-defense Immunity Approved in Rules Committee! (UPDATED)

Yes!!!!!

Self-defense Immunity; Providing that the state has the burden of proving that a defendant is not immune from prosecution under certain circumstances, etc.

2/9/2017 Senate • Favorable by- Rules; YEAS 8 NAYS 2.

I have no idea where we go from here. I expect Sean Caranna from Florida Carry will slap me across the head with some information later on.

I found the video and I felt the need to do some screen captures for your pleasure. The Moms Demand Delegation was front and center, maybe not such a good idea. These are not all the public speakers, just the ones I thought important to share.

They don’t like Marion Hammer. She was speaking on another bill in this capture.

 

Eric Friday, Florida Carry Legal Counsel did a superb job. He was not liked by Moms Demand either.

Marissa Alexander also stated her support for the bill.

 

The Moms Demand representative. You just don’t show up to a Senate Committee and read a bunch of slogans everybody heard before in a monotone voice.

 

Marion Hammer,  but this time on the SYG bill. She is not a cute little grandma but a force of nature.

 

 

Stacy Scott, Public Defender for the Eighth Judicial Circuit speaking for the Florida Public Defender in favor of the bill.

I know I am biased, but the presentations in favor of  CS/SB 128 were well spoken, the speakers felt confident on what they were taking about and delivered with assertiveness. That is why they do not want our message to be heard or why people like Shannon Watts will refuse to have a debate with Dana Loesch: They would be trounced and ridiculed.  And the loss to their cause would be severe.

Great Job to all involved!

Update: Sean did provide with the appropriate information. It is ready to go to the Senate floor. But It will also go to the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee and Judiciary Committee before going to the House floor.

We are getting there 🙂

Ultimate Goalpost Moved: Deadly Force can be used against Speech.

Well, I’m here to thank the radical measures the AntiFas took to ensure my safety. It has been reported by numerous sources that Breitbart’s mascot planned on launching a campaign against undocumented students and sanctuary campuses.

Antifa was there to protect UC Berkeley students when the administration was not. Within 15 minutes of the bloc’s arrival on Sproul Plaza, Yiannopoulos was being rushed from the building. These were not acts of violence.They were acts of self defense.

Source: Black bloc did what campus should have | The Daily Californian

If you condemn the actions that shut down Yiannopoulos’ literal hate speech, you condone his presence, his actions and his ideas; you care more about broken windows than broken bodies. I can’t impeach Trump, and I can’t stop the alt-right from recruiting nationwide. I can only fight tooth and nail for the right to exist in my hometown. So it’s time for those waiting in the center to pick a side. Either wake up and stand against nationalistic fear-mongering, or allow it to spread and divide your neighborhood through inaction — just enjoy your ability to be complacent while it lasts.

If you have not figured it out yet, the Left has declared a war.  They decided to lower the bar to consider any speech they do not like as a “credible” threat of Death of Grave Bodily Harm so they can exercise Deadly Force upon their enemies (That would be you too. Yes, you will eventually run afoul of them.)

You have to admit they have stretched the definition to an absurd extreme, but if that is the game they want to play, we may have to correspond the same manner.

The time has come to stop being polite. The New Chekists will have no problem making you bleed and killing you: It is not only allowed but encouraged. I have seen them in action in Venezuela and they managed literally to make any fruitful opposition to the regime a carnival of harmless clowns.

December 6, 2002 at 7:10 pm, there was a small group of people doing a praying vigil at Plaza Francia (Francia Square) in Caracas when they were approached by several government goons. One of the goons, Joao De Gouveia, used a Glock in .40 S&W to shoot and kill there people including a 76-year-old woman whose crime was praying while sitting on a chair. He also managed to wound 28 more, unopposed by anybody including the police present at the location to “keep the peace.”

The problem for the goons was that people with cameras were present and managed to get video of the asshole and he was quickly identified. The government made a great production of his arrest, trial and conviction, but for somebody who has no family whatsoever he received a lot of packages and he has been seen outside prison, enjoying the night life and visiting friends. Hugo Chavez called Joao De Gouveia a great man and a gentleman on a speech soon after the killings.

There was another demonstration later on at the same location, and it was promptly dissolved, this time they aimed without trying to kill. Just to scare and they succeeded.

And when people ran away, they proceeded to decapitate the statue of the Virgin Mary at the location.

Eventually, it was totally destroyed by the Government Goons.

This was not an isolated case, but I keep close to heart because I used to go to that Square a lot since a great theater was nearby not only with the latest of Hollywood in full glory but some great Jazz concerts. Anyway, the damage was done and nobody else dared to do an anti government protest in that square after that.

Now you are now pointing out a big difference: That was government sponsored while the Antifa/ Black Block is not. True but only because November did not bring about the government sponsorship they wanted. And please, disabuse yourself from the notion that these groups just sprouted because of Trump and people like this are new. We are talking groups that have been organized farther back than the 1999 Seattle WTO protests & riots. 

And the other obvious difference with Venezuela? Nobody shot back. The public and the political opposition had embraced Chavez’s Disarmament Law and suddenly they realized they could not do shit about the attacks even if somehow the centuries-long programming of “You don’t solve anything with violence” was bypassed. The result is that Venezuela is about to be the equivalent of a Biafra (Old Fart reference) or Somalia in Latin America.

So back to our local goons. As I said, they lowered the bar on what constitutes “moral” use of Deadly Force and are counting we play by the rules they set: They can get way with anything and we are supposed to take it.  As much as I understand we are supposed to stay at a higher moral level, it is time you figure that some fights are done better by getting off the Morality Horse and engage into ground combat with superior firepower. A hickory sledge-hammer handle coming at your head is not a “flag pole” but a deadly weapon which allows you to use deadly force to defend yourself. The Sharpened end of a Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC pipe is not a “banner holder” but a spear that can easily penetrate your abdomen; deflect and fire. Punch a Nazi is just the new anarchist version of the Knockout Game and if you remember, the way that game came to pass was people hitting back and/or shooting the aggressors.

The only way to recover the polite tone of political discussion is to stop being polite. If attacked with deadly weapons, fight back. Make sure what the law says about use of Deadly Force in your state and plan your defensive strategy accordingly.

PS: And warn those who are not actively participating but either support or at least will not come forward to denounce their weirdos with force, that they are as guilty as the Antifa/Anarchist/Assholes: Yes they are roaches, but they need a medium to hide and grow, the “Consenters” are that medium.  Screaming “Ich bin nicht Antifa!” is just not gonna make it safe for them.

 

The Right Stuff (At a scale)

Friend and podcaster Paul Lathrop is a fellow Model Plane enthusiast (as in we can’t afford these babies so we just enjoy watching them) and he sent me the video of this particular aircraft: a B 29 Superfortress with the X1 under it.

And yes, the X1 deploys and flies.

The moment the first engine came to life, the theme from “The Right Stuff” started to play in my head… now I have to see the movie again. If you have never seen this movie, you are missing a great flick and possibly one of the greatest narrative intros in Hollywood history.

“There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, 750 miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it: The sound barrier. Then, they built a small plane, the X-1, to try and break the sound barrier. And men came to the High Desert in California to ride it. They were called test pilots.

And no one knew their names.”
