OK, not so bad, I groaned but chuckled too.

A man has become London’s 67th homicide victim of 2018 after he was stabbed to death in Islington.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene after suffering multiple stab wounds – crowds gathered as police put up a cordon and a helicopter hovered overhead.
It’s the fourth killing in four days in the capital.

Lawless London: Man knifed to death in Islington, 4 killed in 4 days

If anything, London is pointing out to the failure of Liberal Laws regarding crime and self-defense in the UK in general. We have covered the insane laws which punish the individual defending himself  and giving the criminals judicial relief against the good guys. Gun control, the promised jewel that would keep Londoners safe was achieved but somehow the criminal instinct was not curbed but boldened. Surveillance was also promised as a cure, with eyes everywhere to either prevent, stop or get evidence of crimes, but apparently even after allegedly half a million private and government cameras covering the city, violence is still happening.

In the meantime in not-so-sunny-&-full-of-guns Miami-Dade county (It has been raining for more than a week) MDPD inform us that our Jan 1 to May 23 crime stats show a drop in violent crime of 19% from the same time frame last year.

And I do not think this is just happening this year. I believe that the powers-that-be in London have been very good at fudging with stats to cover for their inability to control crime (No , I am not buying the “accidental strangling/hanging” cause of death) just that this time they were caught with the pants down or have not figured out how to make the murders appear as suicide. I would not be surprised if a law is passed forbidding the Press and anybody else to report on a violent crime till it has been “solved” by the police or some other legislation trying to control the flow of information and cover the problem.

But hey! They know more than us, right? We should imitate them.

HOODED gunmen have opened fire with automatic rifles, kalachnikovs, in Marseille, in south France – with one person reportedly injured.
The men opened fire on a group of young people not far from the cultural space known as ‘La Busserine’, local media Corse-Matin reports.
Three vehicles with the masked individuals arrived in the city’s district of Busserine at 5pm local time, France’s ACTU17 said.
As police arrived on the scene they were blocked by some of the suspects in a Renault Megane, France Bleu reports.
There was then a shoot-out with police before the attackers fled the scene.
At this time it is unclear if any arrests have been made, but police are investigating and a cordon has been set up.
Investigators have so far found 9mm and 7.62 shells at the scene which correspond to Kalashnikov bullets
…
Mr Reynaud also ruled out terrorism as a motive, adding the shooting probably was drug-related.

Marseille shooting: Hooded men open fire with Kalashnikovs.

Apparently we are not hearing most of the stuff happening in Europe. I am not surprised. I know that for years the media will not publish certain crimes because the political master have told them not to. But an attack with AK 47s (and it seems not the first time) is bound to make it to the news even coming out of Marseille which is controlled by organized crime.

Apparently all those Gun Control measure taken by the European Union did not work. Pity, I could have told them that and save them the aggravation.

This particular tweet left me wondering:

Is the Brady campaign afraid that one of their kids will go to a home with easily accessible weapons, get one of them  7000 round a second Assault Rifles with high-capacity machine gun clips? What kind of kids are the Brady Campaign and its followers raising if they are wondering if their kids will go to somebody’s home and the first thing they will do is steal firearms to go murder fellow students?

Maybe the real issue is that we should keep the kids from Gun Control parents away from our homes.

Peter Cunningham, Assistant Secretary of Education under Barack Obama, tweeted this in response to the Santa Fe shooting.

Yeah, it’s that stupid of an idea.

Then I saw this tweet.

Obviously Ken here thinks that the NRA is publicly funded.  Why?  I dunno.  Maybe because Planned Parenthood is publicly funded.

If she doesn’t think that the NRA is publicly funded, than she thinks that she has to right to tell other people how to spend their money and that political donations are not protected free speech.

She must also believe that the problem with our educational system isn’t that it is being strangled by the iron law of bureaucracy.

Take for instance Illinois where money that should be going to students is being dumped into retired teachers because of the unfunded liability of the pension program fought for by the teacher’s union.

The reason young Ms. Smith is claiming that she is underpaid is that old Ms. Crabtree has been teaching for 40 years, all her lesson plans are laminated, her tests have been the same since the 80’s, but she won’t retire because she gets summers off and is collecting near six figures from old union deals.

Maybe our academic problems are due to schools, again like in Illinois or California where they had to take out math and science to teach LGBT history.  Because who needs to know basic things like addition and subtraction when there is important stuff to know like which founding father’s liked it in the butt.

Maybe that’s why half the schools in Baltimore and DC have zero – as in not one student – proficiency in math and reading.

So I think Ken here is justifying Cunningham’s tweet.

Not just are our schools not teaching kids anything useful, the can’t even keep them safe.

I say, just take all the money that should to go the school system, pay it out back to parents in education vouchers, and I’ll stick my kids in the best private school I can find.

I think Cunningham was being sarcastic, but in his snark, was honest about just how bad this goverment solution is to a problem and along comes Ken to prove his point.

I’m a middle class American.  I like my guns and my god and don’t like having them attacked by a politician for political gain.

I’m a law abiding citizen and a tax payer who believes in common sense and not blind loyalty.

If you are thinking about donating to a politician who destroys a 22 caliber rifle, insults guns and religion, and uses his veteran status to undermine your rights, in farm and coal country Pennsylvania, I have a suggestion for a better use of your money.

That’s all you’re doing with it anyway.

I’m J.Kb. and I approve this message.

I consider myself a bit of a manual putz sometimes. If there is a way I can hurt myself with a tool, I will do so.

But even in my worse day in the kitchen, I have failed to inflict damage upon myself or others with a frigging whisk.
