The new law, (as usual improperly labeled Stand your Ground Extension by the Media) shifted the Burden On Proof from the Defendant to the Prosecutor. Now, why I support this bill and why I wish it spreads like wildfire across the nation? Because cases like this, please pay attention to the dates and the details:

Abilane, Texas, June 12, 2017.

Judge Thomas Wheeler of the 350th District Court signed an order Monday dismissing a murder charge against an Abilene man accused of fatally shooting his roommate in April 2015. Dan Joiner, a Taylor County assistant district attorney, filed the motion Monday because of a lack of evidence that the killing was done with malice. Brian Andrew Fogiel, 26, claimed from the time he called 911 in April 2015 that he shot his roommate Raphael Oladapo Oloyede in self defense, said Taylor County District Attorney James Hicks. On the call, he said, Fogiel says he was defending himself from being attacked with a beer bottle.

OK, so far so good, what’s next? You are gonna love this:

“We came across some information that corroborates his claim of self defense,” Joiner said. Hicks said during witness preparation that Joiner discovered one of the first police officers on the scene found Oloyede had a beer bottle in his hand turned upside down like a weapon. The beer bottle was found right by the gun. “Throughout the investigation, we were under the impression Mr. Fogiel had just shot without reason his roommate,” Hicks said.

Wait, what?

With this new evidence, he said, he cannot proceed with prosecuting Fogiel.”Ethically speaking, you can’t proceed to trial in a situation where all of the evidence points to the fact that the accused used self defense, and we have no evidence to disprove that because that is our burden to prove,”

Ladies and gentleman, this case was not just being investigated, a trial date had been set to begin nailing Fogiel with a long prison term. You would think that if a District Attorney is OK with going to trial, he has done his due diligence, has all evidence and testimony checked and ready. But no, just before the trial was to start, was the only time the somebody in the DA office said “You know Mildred, why don’t you go get me the box of the Fogiel case so I can check it out. I do believe the trial is coming in the next couple of weeks and we need to get ready.  Oh crap, there might evidence there that proves the guy is innocent after all… well golly!”

And they tout themselves as ETHICAL. That pisses me off.

But it was ethical not to do your job, not to collect and revise the evidence and testimony on time, it was ethical to charge an innocent man with murder and even set trial dates that you then asked to be delayed. You basically fucked up this young man’s reputation and froze his life for two years because you could. And somehow we have to admire your pimple-sized fake ethics? And we are supposed to accept you saying “Oops! My bad” in cheap legalese?

The American Bar Association in its General Standards for Prosecutors states:

“The duty of the prosecutor is to seek justice, not merely to convict.”

Obviously this district attorney’s office failed to do so and we have seen the same happening with other Self-Defense cases.

And that Ladies and gents is why I support the Expansion of the Self Defense Immunity.

We picked three new sponsors yesterday. We stand at 199.

Go check the list and let’s make sure our Rep is in there. If not, drop him/her a line and a call.

My guess is that Ms. Lafferty ceded exclusive profit rights to Shannon Watts, the proud owner of a recently acquired $2,275,000 home in Boulder, CO.

And one more, just because:

They should seriously think about selling this bumper sticker.

“We know, as always, that no one law could prevent a shooting like this.”

Nice of her to admit Gun Control is a failure. Even nicer that the Florida Chapter of Moms Demand agrees with her.

Yeah, you get to wonder when did the ATF created another subsection of firearms. The did not, we are revisiting the 1990s

It seems that somebody at CBS News took the Media classes with Brady or Everytown and decided to come up with that terminology. The Evil Assault Pistol (Black, no less) found at the scene? Allegedly a TEC-9. (I could not get confirmation at the time of writing)

In July of 1993, Gian Luigi Ferri armed with a Chinese 1911 clone and two TEC-9s shot up a legal firm in San Francisco (yes, again the same city) killing 8 people. The TEC-9 became the Right Hand of Satan, the most hated gun in the Gun Control circles and an immediate favorite with Hollywood producers that still, to this day cannot make a California Gang movie without at least one TEC-9 redecoration some ghetto abode. You mention TEC-9 and the Old Gun Control freaks both salivate and feel tinges in their loins and will rise from their retirement homes to scream loudly about the killing machine. A lawsuit was brought against the company and even though they won, the legal expenses put them under which was the strategy which started to develop in that era against Gun Rights: Bankrupt the Gun Manufacturers.

The TEC-9 in my opinion was never that useful as a pistol and it only sold out because the Gun Control people made such a fuss about it.  What the MAC 10 was for the 80s and Miami Vice, the TEC-9 did it for the 90s and most of the Blood versus Crips Hollywood creations. And same as the latest Hollywood remakes of movies from that era, this new “paroxysm” will be short-sighted and short-lived.

Last night, I bumped into an online discussion where a Liberal was saying we needed to get together, talk and come up with a solution. It made me a tad upset and I replied like this:

There is no coming together: The Left is not interest in negotiating in good faith. They will tell you stories and swear in a stack of qurans that they are, but it is bullshit. You know how I know? This is not new for me. I am part of the Gun Culture and for well over three decades we have been weathering the Fake News (fancy that, and you thought it just happened last year with the Russians), being accused of every vile crime on the world without a single dash of evidence, threatened to have kids removed from their parents because they do competition shooting. Calls to have us incarcerated without due process and sent to Guantanamo? Almost daily from the Anti Gun Left.
We are subject to Constitutional infringements on our rights that would make the collective ACLU HQ shit in their pants and demand the heads of those in government doing so. And all this is just a small sample.

So what? Now one of your side crossed the line and drew blood and we are supposed to accept the bullshit rhetoric came from our side and submit to your ideas of tolerant living? Fuck that .
The Left has been stirring the pot while ignoring one fundamental detail: We, the assholes on the other side have been preparing for this for a long time. And we have a message:

“I am your huckleberry..”

PS: Hosea 8:7

And they are not going to negotiate in good faith. They are actually thinking they can take advantage of the situation and gain points. And maybe it may happen in D.C. with the RINO faction but the rest of America is tired and willing to shoot back.

And dear God, they better hope our side does not decide to shoot first.
