The instructions say you need a tripod to get a good panorama shot (you can see the glitches in the Matrix), but sincerely it is just a cute thing to have. Not planning on using it too much anyway.

I finally got around to finish the final placement for the system.  Thanks to the doorbell camera has a 180 degree view, I have all points of entry to the house under the eye of a camera.

Another small layer of security added. If it gives me an extra 5 second reaction time, the investment was worth it.

Here is the equipment:

I caught one of those flash deals and got it for $50 less. And you can get cloud service for around $5 which I plan to take.

I found this one in a two pack sale for $50 back in April. I think it was some company that may have bought a bankruptcy lot. anyway, there is a new version of this camera (It has a hoodie) in the mid $30s. Word of advice, install using the QR code method as it is in the app. easiest way possible.

My house did not come wired for a doorbell so I had to buy an old school one with transformer to run power to the door bell camera. That was under $20 but I can remember exactly how much, lost the receipt. Wife won’t be happy.

Add another $20 for a couple of waterproof boxes to keep the transformers dry outside. I did not go crazy opening holes in the walls but used already existing wiring from floodlights I installed when we moved in.  You I have a simple yet efficient surveillance system for outside the house for $210.00 which I can access from my phone or online anytime, anywhere.

Future investment will be a couple of IR illuminators to add feet to the camera’s reach at night.

I like technology in a dirty evil capitalist system, you know?

This has been one of the last items that Governor Scott has done before going to DC.  Mr. Pollack has been very verbal and not relying on the traditional talking points in his criticism of the Broward School Board and the Broward’s Sheriffs Office. Doing so, he has gained many enemies within the Liberal community, including criticism that he is not qualified for the job. Of course this is the same people that think Fake Survivors David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez were God’s answer to Gun Violence and sent them in a tour.

But that is not the point I wanted to make. There is a reply that left me with my mouth agape in its sheer stupidity:

Here is a person, I presume a Gun Control advocate saying that she does not mind having unstable teachers with kids for several hours a day as long as they are not legally armed. Once again: she does not mind crazy teachers with kids inside a locked classroom.

So, if they are unstable, what is gonna stop them from bringing a gun to class? Or poison the kids? or play machete Jenga with their bodies?

I know people in Broward County and they are all not this profoundly stupid. But I guess there are enough of the Stupid kind to vote Democrat over and over.  That is why I see nothing being solved by the Parkland Shooting Report unless Governor-Elect DeSantis is willing to face a tsunami of bad press and even worse Social Media.

I have yet to see her doing or even acting in a professional or even serious manner.  I get the feeling she is treating this as a video game and thinking she just achieved a new level in the game and got an extra crate of goodies.  I don’t think it has dawned on her she is there to serve and that she may have to take a vote which can result in deaths or injuries to people.

Slow Motion Train Wreck.

Joe decides that he’s had enough of Tom’s body odor and fires an unjustified and murderous shot at Tom with the full intent of unlawfully killing him.  Joe, however, is a bad shot and misses Tom. Instead, the round hits and kills Harry, against whom Joe had no murderous intent.  Can Joe be charged with the intentional murder of Harry?

One might argue that Joe never had any intent to murder Harry (only to murder Tom), so he ought not be criminally liable for having intentionally murdered Harry.  The doctrine of transferred intent, however, holds that the murderous intent Joe possessed towards Tom has transferred to Harry, and so Joe can indeed by tried for the intentional murder of Harry.

This same doctrine of transferred intent also applies in a positive sense, however. That is, if  Joe had instead fired the shot at Tom in lawful self-defense, he had good (not bad) intent in firing that shot. If Joe misses and instead kills Harry, Joe’s good intent at firing the shot towards Tom is transferred to Harry, and thus Harry’s killing is lawful self-defense–even though Joe never intended to shoot Harry and Harry never presented any threat towards Joe.

Transferred Intent: Also, “Awful but Lawful”

I should be posting Andrew’s articles more often because they are quite illuminating and has no problem slaughtering sacred cows. In fact, bringing you the reality of the law and not what we wish the law would say and do is his specialty.

Don’t follow his articles at your own risk.

Video does not stop, it jumps to another story. My apologies, not my doing.

And the judge continued:

“The Klan doesn’t exist anymore,” he said. “Who doesn’t care about black lives now? I’ll let you answer that. I’m tired of black men killing black men. If I offended anyone … I can’t help it.”

Judge goes on tirade about black-on-black crime, saying it puts Klan to shame

The sad reality is that he is right: nobody will hear it. The cycle of death will continue unimpeded.
