The NYPD needs to fully embrace the Lozito defense

Remember a couple of days ago I wrote a post about people throwing buckets of water on NYPD officers when they were doing their duty protecting and serving.

The NYC PBA (New York City Police Benevolent Association) sent out another video on Twitter of another upstanding young man with a bright future ahead of him having an interaction with police on the subway.

Followers of this blog know that Miguel and I have mentioned no duty to protect.  It is why we advocate for concealed carry.

I have blogged about the Lozito case before.  Maksim Gelman went on a stabbing spree.  Two NYPD cops watched him stab Joe Lozito in a subway car, then watched Lozito tackle and disarm Gelman, at which point the officers came out from hiding inside the conductor’s cab to arrest Gelman.  Lozito sued the NYPD, who defended themselves by affirming that they had no duty to protect and prevent Gelman from stabbing Lozito.

As I watch these two NYPD officers humbly absorb the sexual requests of this beloved choir boy, I think maybe it’s time that the rank and file of the NYPD take Lozito to its logical conclusion.

Clock in.  Have a seat in a squad room.  Drink coffee for an entire shift.  Go home.

There is no reason for them to endure being berated for doing their jobs while being videoed by Twitter vigilantes who are looking for every opportunity to destroy a police officer’s career for a city government that has the backs of the thugs over law and order.

Forget FIDO.  No reason to even go on patrol.

Hell, the NYPD could sell it as a green initiative to reduce the carbon footprint of their patrol units to zero.

Let the city of New York fall into chaos where people are eating each other.

If there is one thing I have learned in both politics and safety engineering, you cannot protect self-destructive people from themselves.

The NYPD should stop trying.  A 40 hour week in a station house might get boring, but it’s better than having to deal with the vibrancy of New York on a subway.

Modern feminism is bring back the stocks

I guess this story is a few days old, but I had the good fortune to have it miss me until the YouTube algorithm caught up with me.

What the fuck is that?

“This chair will finally teach men to sit.”

What are we, animals?  We have to be forced by some modern-day Iron Chair to sit in a viciously awkward and uncomfortable position at the whims of grievance activists.

This is real by the way, and the designer won an award for it.

Fed up with men who luxuriate in their seating, University of Brighton student Laila Laurel, 23, fashioned a pair of his and hers chairs that challenge the way men and women “command space.”

“I was also hugely inspired by Laura Bates’ Everyday Sexism Project, where I read about the struggles and frustrations of women around the world pertaining to men infringing on their space,” Laurel tells Metro.

Reminiscent of medieval torture devices translated through mid-century style, the sycamore and cherry wood chairs encourage women to spread eagle, while forcing men to knock their knees together.

“In order to achieve gender equality it is imperative to consider many different aspects of sexism,” says Laurel, “and so that is why I thought it would be interesting to try to explore political gendered issues around seating.”

For her manhood-crushing efforts, Laurel was awarded the Belmond Award at New Designs in London.

I work with industrial designers.  They do good work, making consumer products more ergonomic and comfortable to use.  I can respect that.

“I thought it would be interesting to try to explore political gendered issues around seating” is the kind of nonsensical psuedo-intellectual horseshit that makes me want to shut down University programs.

At least the New York Post admits that this is little better than a medieval torture device.

Personally, I’m tired of listening to the annoying utterances of shitty Millenials.

If we’re now giving away awards for imposing 16th century torments on people we don’t like, I want a prize for reinstituting the Scold’s Bridle.

Next time some snowflake starts whining about a couple of cops drinking coffee in a Starbucks, we lock her head in a fucking iron cage.

 

When you are perceived as weak.

Wolves attack.

Here is the story.

The pack’s only goal is satisfaction. They do not have humanity, they do not care if you are allegedly part of a tribe or that you should be protected because of your infirmity. Again, the pack’s only goal is satisfaction.

And this is not an isolated incident and be ready to see more because it is very likely this pack will go unpunished or given just a stern talk-to and force them to promise not to do it again.

Just be ready and understand you can be perceived as a victim and attacked. And be sure they get to regret their poor victim selection process.

Florida Man Concealed Carry

Although I am willing to bet he is originally from way up North.  The only reasons to wear socks (and black to boot) is if you have a nasty case of Athlete’s Foot or you are a Yankee.

 

This does not bode well for 2020

This need to be understood as a hard and fast rule of American politics:

Whatever those on the Left complain about the Right doing, they themselves are doing worse.

I firmly believe that the only way the Left can maintain belief in their own moral superiority while engaging in the worst possible behavior is by embracing psychological projection.

A new poll from Pew Research as reported on by the Washington Examiner shows how dangerous this is going to get.

Pew: 91% Democrats see violence next in war of words

After a week that saw President Trump and his foes toss toxic words at each other, there is now a warning that the next phase could be “violence.”

Nearly 8 of 10 Americans told the Pew Research Center that supporters for both sides could “act” on the politically charged rhetoric with violence. It was higher for Democrats, 91%, than Republicans, 61%.

Americans broadly agree that elected officials should avoid using heated language because it could encourage violence. Nearly three-quarters of Americans (73%) say this, while just a quarter believe that elected officials ‘Should be able to use heated language to express themselves without worrying about whether some people may act on what they say,’” warned the center.

“While majorities in both parties say officials should avoid heated language, this view is more widely held among Democrats (83%) than Republicans (61%),” it added.

Trump is cited by a majority for stirring up the situation, but, like anything “Washington” today, there is partisan division.

Said Pew, “Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents overwhelmingly (84%) say Trump has changed political discourse for the worse.

 

What I’m reading is that Democrats say that Trump’s rhetoric is going to lead to more violence, which they imply means that more Right-wing Trump supporters will engage in violence spurred on by Trump.

Of course, we have seen virtually violence to that effect.

The White Supremacists nut-job who shot up the Tree of Life Synagogue did it, not because Trump was pushing antisemitism but because he thought Trump was too friendly with the Jews.

It was a member of Antifa that tried to firebomb and ICE facility using the same rhetoric as de facto Speaker of the House AOC.

So what this is, is complete projection.

It is the rhetoric of the far Left and the Far Left thugs aligned with Antifa, the Democratic Socialists, and others who are going to ramp up the violence more and more for the next election – and beyond if Trump wins again.

91% of Democrats are sure of it.

This is very bad for us.
