I am absolutely not shocked about anything I’ve seen regarding the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal.

We find out that Harvey Weinstein, one of the most power men in Hollywood and a kingmaker in politics has spent the last 30 years sexually harassing, sexually abusing, molesting, groping, and raping his way through a who’s who of Hollywood starlets.  Not just that, but the entire industry has been covering for him because everybody knew it was happening.

In 2013, Seth MacFarlane joked about it at the Oscars.  So did 30 Rock in 2012.

The Hollywood outrage over the exposure of Weinstein as a monster is just tired.  They were all complicit in the cover up because of the money and power and prestige that Weinstein had to offer.  It seems that the only aspect of this that upsets them is that Weinstein’s abuses are now on display for us normals and no longer an ivory tower open-secret.

These are of course the people to pretend to be our moral betters, lecturing us through their artistic medium about just how bad we are on things like healthcare and gun laws.

The same late night TV hosts who use their opening monologues to lecture and rant against everything Trump does and Middle America likes were eerily silent on Weinstein.

Weinstein was a major political donor and bundler, to the tune of over $2 Million in the last few elections, all to Democrats.

So it is no surprise to anyone that it took Hillary Clinton nearly a week to condemn him, in very weak terms, and not give back his money.

The statement by the Obamas was also pathetic, and they are not returning the money either.

I have written about the abuse of New York City’s gravity knife laws, twice, how NYC deliberately misinterprets the law to boost arrest numbers by targeting construction workers and laborers for carrying common pocket knives they use on the job because it is easier to harass (usually minority) working class people than it is to bust actual criminals.  This abuse has been lead by NY district attorney Cy Vance.

The Weinstein scandal revealed something interesting about Vance.  He was handed incriminating evidence on Weinstein on a silver platter, and turned down the opportunity to prosecute.

Two sources close to the police investigation said that they had no reason to doubt Gutierrez’s account of the incident. One of them, a police source, said that the department had collected more than enough evidence to prosecute Weinstein. But the other source said that Gutierrez’s statements about her past complicated the case for the office of the Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance, Jr. After two weeks of investigation, the District Attorney’s office decided not to file charges. 

After Vance dropped the charges, he received $10,000 from Weinstein’s lawyers.  Sexual assault AND corruption.

The rich and powerful in Hollywood and politics are closing ranks to protect one of their own.  I am honestly not shocked about any of this.

Unfortunately, I think the worst is yet to come.

Weinstein’s name is being removed from all the TV shows he has produced, but he’s still being allowed to keep the money from them.

The outrage will die down once the shock factor is gone.

Hollywood will stop talking about this as soon as they can get away with not having to fake outrage on camera, because it is in their best interests to do so.

After an inappropriately short period of time, the next distraction will hit America and these same people will go back to lecturing us about our moral failings from their award show pulpits.

In the end, Weinstein will keep his money and retire to some private island somewhere to spend his days in luxury, rubbing one out to the memories of the times he coerced an A-Lister into sex.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, will spend one day in prison over the three decades of sexual violence and corruption that occurred.

That is the sickest thing of all.

I was going to write a long-winded post explaining my reasons, but at the end it all comes to one thing: I have seen too many “Pro-Gun” People venomously hate on the NRA more than on Stephen Paddock (somebody that murdered 59 concertgoers) and the Gun Control Cabal (who are trying to fuck us out of our Rights).
I cannot keep wasting my time on such a collection of assholes.

I am a firm believer in the Right of People to Keep and Bear Arms, but some simply do not deserve it.

The blog will remain open and you will get to enjoy the writings of J. Kb. If we get lucky, we may get a writer in the future.

I may post funny pictures from time to time just because, but I am done with Gun Politics which I pass to Gun Culture 2.0.

Acid attacks are common in the Middle East and Central Asia.  Usually targeted at women who reject a man’s advancements or proposal, or shame the family, the are on the rise in even more economically developed countries in the that region of the world,  such as Iran and India.

Due to some European policy decisions, London is the acid attack capital of Europe and is at epidemic levels.

Having already banned guns, and nearly outlawed knives, London has to severely limit the sales of acid and other household chemicals to stop these attacks.

Evil, savage people will always figure out how to hurt someone if that is their desire.  No amount of bans and restrictions will stop that.

When London has outlawed every weapon, chemical, and sharp or heavy object, these people will turn to eye gouging with their fingers, I guarantee it.

The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence gives California an “A” grade for its gun laws.  Likewise the Brady Campaign gives California an “A-” grade.

So for two major anti-gun groups, California is a model for what gun ownership in the US should look like.

California is also a crazy Progressive state.  Crazy, as in they lost their damn minds.

Recently California signed into law a bill that makes it no longer a felony to deliberately infect a person with HIV.

You read that right.

If a person knows they are HIV positive, and does not disclose that fact, and deliberately puts another person at risk of contracting an incurable, life altering, and ultimately terminal disease…. so what.

According to California, it is a worse crime to “stigmatize people with HIV” than it is to deliberately infect them with a terminal illness.

We’re not just talking about sex here, even people who know they are HIV positive and donate blood, are safe from prosecution.

This is SUPER dangerous, as HIV can still be transmitted even when the viral load is below the detection limits.  A person can be HIP+, not tell the blood bank, the blood bank tests the blood, no HIV is detected, the recipient still contracts the virus because California doesn’t want to stigmatize HIV.

Having read the text of the bill I’m pretty sure in California, you can go around sticking people with HIV infected needles and not be guilty of a felony.

California has no right to every lecture anybody about gun laws every again.  It is now a state where simply owning a semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine is a felony but murdering someone with an incurable disease is a slap on the wrist.

I decided to take a much-needed break from blogging and Pro-Gun Activism.

Nine years and nine months and 7,560 posts later, I need a break.

It is tiresome enough to fight against the Gun Control machine. I simply don’t have the energy to battle the stupid on our side.  And before I go “Fuck it!” and call it quits, I am giving myself some days off. No idea how many.

J. Kb. will still be posting at his pace which means fewer posts but high quality reading stuff will continue to be produced and posted.

I’ll be back to either return to the fight or announce I am gone fishing and shooting for good.  During this time off, I don’t care if they eliminate NFA 34 and GCA 68 or the Second Amendment has been repealed and confiscation is upcoming: Don’t ask me for my opinion because I won’t care. Hence the Honey Badger vacation.

PS: there are three posts scheduled to come up between today and Halloween. There are funnies. Enjoy them as my possible last vestige of humor in blogging.
