An assistant city health commissioner who oversees anti-violence initiatives was assaulted Friday in downtown Baltimore on his way back to work after having a sandwich for lunch.
Greg Sileo, who is recovering from multiple facial fractures, swelling and bruising, said he does not remember the attack, but according to police, he was assaulted at 1 p.m. by a group of juveniles at Baltimore and Commerce streets. The teens took his two cellphones and his wallet, Sileo said.
I feel guilty by chuckling at this attack because the victim was seriously injured. But contrary to the belief that music has charms to soothe the savage beast’, the sad truth is that you can’t “pied pipe” you way out of a hyena attack. You either use a lead pipe or project small metal objects at high speeds out of the pipe.
Armed officers fired almost 50 rounds, killing three attackers who had plowed a rented van into pedestrians on the bridge, killing three, then jumped out and stabbed Saturday night revelers in Borough Market, an area packed with bars and restaurants. Five people died of stab wounds, and almost 50 people were wounded in the attack.
For some reason, there has been a lot of derision in the gun community about the fact that armed English LEOs went almost 50 rounds on the three London Bridge assholes. Let’s say for the sake of this discussion that the total number of shots fired was 48, that makes it 16 shots per target. Bear with me.

There is a high probability that the officers engaging the terrorists were equipped with long guns rather than side arms and it does not strike me as if they are subject to any NY SAFE Magazine capacity regulation so we are talking 30 rounds, give or take.
Next we have the Terrorists, moving fast attacking people with knives and wearing what initially was thought to be suicide vests. We don’t know if all the rounds spent hit the target and we know that at least one round ended up hitting an American tourist so that was a miss or shot-through.
Now please, tell me what LEO or regular person in his right mind will shoot USPSA-style and only grace a proven killer with only 2 shots and then move away? No-frigging-body. You are gonna shoot till that sucker falls down and then shoot again to anchor his ass for good. Knowing that the long guns are full auto, you are going to have more than one shot coming out and probably they shot controlled bursts to secure the Terrorists. And this is not square range but real life in the real uneven world under the biggest dump of adrenaline these officer probably ever experienced. Asking for Olympic-type of shooting for bullseye and under perfect control is not only unrealistic but downright stupid.
So, one Brit cop shooting 16 rounds to nail and secure a Jihadist is not declaration that it was a sloppy shooting. And if the Terrorists were engaged by more than one cop each, we are now talking 8 rounds per LEO.
And that is a NY SAFE Act approved mag dump.
If you want to criticize something about Brit LEOs, you have the idiot London Police Commissioner Cressida Dick who not only patted herself in the back for an 8 minute response time to the attack but was proud of the wide variety of victims because Diversity is kinda cool, even in death so politics.
I heard about Adam West’s passing pretty quick after it was announced. I posted a simple message in Facebook:
“Batman is dead…”
Not a single person asked which, they all knew there was only one Batman: The original. I observed the same on other timelines and it is good to know that even younger generations knew that for million of us, old farts, batman will always be the funny and campy Adam West.
A while back Miguel made a post about how the Antifa was attempting the ultimate goal post move, in which a voicing a differing opinion to them was violence and therefore they were allowed to defend themselves with force.
Yes, you read all those correctly. According to the CRSEA, simply being white is an act of violence against black people. You don’t actually have to do anything, you just have to exist and you are inflicting violence on them.
The logical next step is the justification of violence against white people for just existing.
That’s not a leap. That is a tip-toe.
How long until we see some SJW who has been steeped in this mentality engage in the knockout game and then claim that he was defending himself against the victim’s “whiteness?”
This is not just a SJW justification for segregation, this is the type of language that was used to justify the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda.
I don’t think it is a coincidence that the the Hutu paper used to justify the genocide of Tutsis was Kangura, which means “awaken” and the word for the philosophical movement that justifies this type of anti-white hatred is “woke.”
I really don’t want a Rwandan race war in the US. These people seem to really want to start one.
More than 80 ducks have died because of infection from parasitic snails that live in the Reflecting Pool. Now the pool has to be drained to kill the parasites.
I cannot think of a better metaphor for Washington DC than this.
The government does something with – giving them the benefit of the doubt – the best of intentions.
The goverment doesn’t understand the totality of the situation or accurately predict the ramifications of their actions.
Casualties ensue.
The the millstone of goverment bureaucracy continues to grind on, unabated.
I am feeling remorseful. You just hate yourself for being fiscally responsible in the face of something like this:
Not the actual gun
Remington Model 10 D Takedown. This was the PERFECT Truck Gun for the price (You could not buy 1,000 rounds of cheap 9mm or perhaps ten boxes of good defensive .45 ACP in Midway USA for the asking price.)
The regret is strong with this one. But at least I found out it is going to a good home.
