In California it has been legalized up to $950 per incident.
In New York, prosecutors have simply refused to enforce the law rendering it void.
As one can expect, because of this theft has skyrocketed.
There are people in this country who are desperately trying to hang onto civilization by their fingertips. People who want to live in a civilization governed by laws and rules and order, and refus to let the criminals have free rein.
It was these two store employees (dressed in all black) who resisted the theft, and they received violence as a reward.
Note the security guard which just watches this with one hand on his hip as though his natural inclination is to have his thumb up his ass.
The thieves, emboldened by their previous soft treatment did not turn and run at the first sign of resistance to their criminality but fought to steal the items they believed they were entitled to take.
This will escalate.
Thieves will eventually kill anyone who resists their decriminalized theft.
The bureaucrats and elected officials will not accept blame for this or try to fix it. They will use the violence to further justify gun control or some other social justice policy that subsidizes crime.
There are people in this country who performed a double mastectomy on a physically healthy 15 year old girl, do to a mental illness that was so poorly diagnosed that she immediately regretted the procedure and wants to have reconstructive surgery.
Why in a supposedly enlightened and civil society that is reminded daily to “trust the science” could this have been done to an emotionally vulnerable girl?
And how is it that everyone who did this to her has not been put in prison or sent feet first and screaming through a woodchipper?
So far all evidence indicates that Amir was not involved in any way with a crime, and he even had the Good Guy certificate know as Carry Permit. However, I am not going to talk about the actions of police from any point of view (politics or anything else) in this video, so please don’t go there in the comments. What I want to address is what could have made a difference in this action that would have kept Amir alive? I am going to advance that outside camera and a “night lock” would have helped.
Same as Amir, you and me have done nothing wrong, we do not expect that Law Enforcement would come out with a warrant, specially at Dark Thirty in the morning and the one people we would expect breaking at that hour would be criminals. We have programmed ourselves to go to guns and repel boarders when we realize our home perimeter is being invaded. The problem is, sometimes it is not the bad guys but an overwhelming presence of police force which surprised you and is about to kill you if you make any move.
I don’t know you dear readers, but as I get older, I have a tougher time coming out making sense from deep sleep (when I can get a good sleep) and in that transition, my brain is pretty much a diesel engine trying to start on a winter morning with a weak battery. Reaction times and rational thinking are pretty much measured in falling sands of grain, so anything that gives me an advantage to slow down events and process incoming information is a must have right there just as a good cup of java. I need time to properly wake up and asses what is going on, so I have to slow down events as much as possible to tilt odds on my side. And I don’t mind an added bonus of a lot of noise to wake me and get the adrenalin pumping through my system.
We have discussed cameras before: There are plenty of offering at inexpensive prices and it is up to you to pick brand and specs according to your needs and budget. I do want to discuss the use of Door Security devices, especially after seeing this video. I am talking about locks and other instruments that cannot be operated/unlocked from outside the house and even not seen by anybody trying to break in.
The most common is the door security bar or the New York bar.
They come in a dizzying variety of brands and models depending on type of flooring, door and whatever else is available. some people like it, some hate it because they look ugly but they work. Your door now has a point of anchoring that is not a couple of 1/34 inch screw against a veneer of wood, but the flooring of the house is now pushing against the it and possible intruders.
It attaches to the frame of the door and house with four 3-inch screws and with a simple flick, it secures the door against kicks, rams, etc. Your door becomes a drumhead announcing bad people are outside trying to come in. The particular advantage to this lock over the bar is that like in the case of this door with glass panes, a bar would be visible from the outside and a possible counter measure or move used to break in. The door reinforcement lock is pretty much invisible for outsiders, so even if they decided not to be discrete, they are going to have a tough time trying to figure out why the door won’t open even after they unlocked the regular doors.
Mind you: None of the systems will stop a dedicated individual or group determined to come in, but a good lock will slow down and make a ton of noise which may give you just enough times to deploy countermeasures or, in a case like Amir Locke, be sure you don’t have anything that may send you to a metal slap to be cut open for autopsy.
Do search what you think fits your needs. install it and use it. And use the comment section to share other security choices. Please, leave the politics out on this post. Thanks.
This is what happens when you teach your children “Violence solves nothing.” They become punching bags.
GRAPHIC FOOTAGE: This was filmed in a school in @ClarkCountySch. A student viciously attacks another student and appears to knock her out. Teacher and other students watch and do nothing. Horrifying. pic.twitter.com/J9E2DVns7W
The daughter of a friend of mine was having issues with a couple of girls from her school. Dad tried to resolve the issue the amicable and sensitive way, but the school officials were not helpful. He eventually went one last time, spoke to the principal and advised he had given her daughter green light to use whatever force was necessary to defend herself with her family’s full back up and that they were ready to go to the press with a detailed record of all the meetings and discussions about the bullying. He also told her not to be surprised if their suddenly hear about a student getting stabbed in the neck with a pencil during class.
Several readers have come up with the idea of a Dead Che BBQ/Grill Day and I have to say I like it.
So, we make it official and celebrate it on the anniversary of his becoming a good communist.
Since the story says the authorities were tipped by a pig farmer in the area, some sort of pork must be part of the menu. And no, dear people from Georgia, BBQ or grilled Baloney sandwiches are acceptable. I know how you guys think. 😀
You can figure out the rest of the menu to fit your particular taste and we need to come up with an official drink later. We have 8 months to prepare.
Stacey Abrams being more special than the kids. How come she is not a risk to the wee-ones for being unmasked? Oh yes, she is better than the rest of the little people.
In all fairness, I don’t think they manufacture masks that could cover that gap.
