The New Rules of Engagement – Michael Bane Podcast
It is a great episode that you should listen if anything because we are mentioned in it. So, excuse us while we squee.
Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
Finally the name will be revealed: AWA’s name is Chris and he runs Troglodite Services LLC (Yes, spelled like that.) and he is the guy who recued this blog from my desire to execute it.
“A Troglodyte is a caveman OR a person characterized by reclusive habits or outmoded or reactionary attitudes.”
Kinda like half our readers. He can be contacted via sales@troglodite.com and if you are thinking is about time to upgrade your crappy webhost, I suggest you talk to Chris first and see what he can do for you.
And if you forget, logo and link are already on the right column of the blog.
Costco is famous for its return policy. If you are unhappy with a Kirkland brand product, you can return it.
At lunch, I went to Costco to fill up the truck.
Out of boredom, I asked the gas station attendant:
“If I’m unhappy with my Kirkland gas, can I return it?”
No less than three layers of management were inquired about the Costco return policy on gasoline.
Nobody was sure how I would return the unused gas if I didn’t like it.
I hope I don’t lose my membership.
My district, according to Miami Dade Elections, is about 65% registered Democrats. But in the 2 decades living here, You could never tell who was what unless you asked, which is deemed impolite. Something I have never seen is political signs and flags in private properties. Sure, you will see some posters placed in the fences abandoned lots and maybe a corner or two in a light pole, but house openly declaring their favoritism? Simply not done.
Today I went out and saw this.
Most houses were simply decorated: A yard sign usually accompanied by the flag.
But I have to say this was my favorite:
Again let me say how amazing these displays are to me because in 20 years, I never saw anything this outward, so prideful when it came to p[residential politics.
Miami-Dade usually votes blue and the strategy is not to have that many people vote so the red votes in other counties upset the Democrat applecart. But i suddenly have this little spark in my guts telling me that maybe come November 3rd, maybe it will be a very pale blue or even a light shade or red for Miami Dade county. No wonder Bloomberg feels it needs to spend $100 million in Florida.
PS: Yes, you are asking if I saw the same stuff for the other side and I did: Only one house. Kid you not.
Minneapolis City Council members, some of whom support defunding the city's police department, say their constituents are “terrified” by a violent uptick.https://t.co/EnUY1zcKjI

With violent crime on the rise in Mpls., City Council asks: Where are the police?
I don’t know, you voted to defund them you stupid, short-sighted fucks.
But for much of the two-hour meeting, council members told police Chief Medaria Arradondo that their constituents are seeing and hearing street racing which sometimes results in crashes, brazen daylight carjackings, robberies, assaults and shootings. And they asked Arradondo what the department is doing about it.
“Residents are asking, ‘Where are the police’?” said Jamal Osman, newly elected council member of Ward 6. He said he’s already been inundated with complaints from residents that calls for police aren’t being answered.
“That is the only public safety option they have at the moment. MPD. They rely on MPD. And they are saying they are nowhere to be seen,” Osman said.
Boo-hoo-hoo.
The number of reported violent crimes, like assaults, robberies and homicides are up compared to 2019, according to MPD crime data. More people have been killed in the city in the first nine months of 2020 than were slain in all of last year. Property crimes, like burglaries and auto thefts, are also up. Incidents of arson have increased 55 percent over the total at this point in 2019.
Fuck you, I was told those were just peaceful protests. You don’t get to complain about arson after you blew all that smoke up my ass.
Council President Lisa Bender, who was among those leading the call to overhaul the department, suggested that officers were being defiant. Her constituents say officers on the street have admitted that they’re purposely not arresting people who are committing crimes.
Maybe treating the cops like murderers and because the city suppressed the information that George Floyd overdosed caused the cops to come down with the Blue Flu.
Council members in wards which usually don’t see high levels of violence say their constituents are feeling “terrorized.”
Awww… are the wealthy, white, suburbanite Progressives not happy with what they voted for?
Kiss my ass.
Despite the uptick of crime in his ward, Cunningham, who supports the creation of a new community safety agency to replace the police department, said it’s particularly important now to start instituting some of those public health-based approaches to violence prevention. Recently, the council took more than $1 million from the police budget to hire “violence interrupters” to intervene and defuse potentially violent confrontations.
I guess those “violence interrupters” aren’t working. Glad you spent a million on them.
The Leftists voted for that shit sandwich and now they don’t like the taste of it.
All I can say to them is: “Fuck you, you ordered that turd with corn and extra jalapeños, now you have to eat it. Try not to choke you dumb fucks.”

She represents the future rulers of our country.
Expect no mercy from a person like that.

This happened in Milwaukee.
BLM protesters in Milwaukee, Wisc. surround a man’s house. He has a Trump & US flag on the outside. He appears to ready a gun from inside the home. He was reportedly arrested for brandishing the weapon. https://t.co/tMKFUGVCa5

There is more.
I’m still trying to figure out whose house this is. Milwaukee, WI – seems to be outside of a house who BLM is saying pointed a gun at them. The title of the video is “We still lit – This goes out to all the racist neighbors out there” so I assume it is just a local “racist” 1/3 pic.twitter.com/84X6BDQwnD

BLM group, including children, pouring onto someone’s property that they seem to be harassing after he was arrested by police. They’re calling him “Probation Pete,” and are celebrating his arrest. Milwaukee, WI 2/3 pic.twitter.com/WsrIaUZs0T

So it’s just a “racist neighbor” they went and protested, the story is that he pulled a gun on them and he was arrested. Vaun L Mayes FB

This is what was going on outside the house before he “pulled a gun on them.” They went specifically to his house to protest him for “being a racist.” The homeowner was arrested, and the crowd remains outside. They seem to have gone on his property. WTF Milwaukee? (more above) pic.twitter.com/cMs6MpMe4y

The video that was posted to “Milwaukee Peaceful Protests for Change” appears to depict someone saying the N word. The video is very short, and gets cut off – audio is hard to hear. But it almost sounds like he says “call you n-word” the rest is garbled https://t.co/byqwSbrZh4

So to summarize, BLM makes the accusation that this man is a racist.
They get a mob to come to his house, step foot on his property, threaten him, and when the man inside his own house pulls out a gun, they call the police and have him arrested even though on video it’s clear they were not intimidated.
Congratulations BLM and the Milwaukee Police.
The most racist Southern sheriffs during the height of Klan intimidation during the Civil Rights era would be proud of you.
Then too did racist mobs show up to intimidate people in their homes on their property and racist local law enforcement side with the racist mob against the homeowner.
This is one burning cross short of a color reversed Klan rally.
Milwaukee is making it clear to Trump supporters the same thing that racist police in the segregated south made clear to blacks, when the mob is out for your blood, do not dare try and defend yourself.
You are more than on your own. The authorities that in the past would have simply abandoned you are now actively working against you.
