A man took his 11-year-old grandson fishing at a South Miami-Dade canal over the weekend. But he didn’t use the typical squirmy bait on a hook. Nor were they looking for dinner. Duane Smith saw a YouTube video on magnet fishing and thought it would a nice family activity for the two to try. So Grandpa and Grandson prepped a line with a 5-pound magnet and dropped it into the C-102 canal in Princeton. They hoped to see what they could pull up from the bottom. Metal scraps, perhaps. Or maybe something valuable. The magnet could pull up as much as 2,600 pounds of material.
…

After five minutes, they got their big one. One of the rifles. “I figured, since it was our first time, this was beginner’s luck,” Smith said.

But when he threw the magnet back in, they pulled up another catch. An identical sniper rifle. The guns were not loaded and they didn’t find any ammunition. “The Barretts had so much mass,” Smith said. “The magnet went straight to them.”

Smith and his grandson found the lower receivers of the weapons — that is, most of the gun except the barrel. The Barrett .50-caliber rifle is a semiautomatic weapon chambered to fire a large bullet designed for the M2 Browning heavy machine gun.

Call me crazy, but I do not think those are Barret lowers for .50 cal.

AOC announces on Instagram that she’s taking a break from Twitter because ‘negative comments’ gave her ‘anxiety’ after she was mocked for breaking her own COVID rules to party maskless in Miami where she caught the virus

Internet-savvy Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez confirmed to supporters on Monday night that she’s taking a break from Twitter because of ‘negative comments’ that gave her ‘anxiety’ after her bout with COVID and her vacation in Miami.

Ocasio-Cortez tested positive for the virus on January 9 after her maskless jaunt to Florida where she partied with actor Billy Porter and sipped cocktails with her boyfriend at a sushi restaurant.

The office of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who the lawmaker had criticized before and during her trip, suggested she could have avoided her social media clashes if she ‘refrained from making unprovoked, bad-faith attacks.’

‘Perhaps she could have avoided much of that “Twitter negativity” if she had refrained from making unprovoked, bad-faith attacks on Governor DeSantis,’ DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw told DailyMail.com.

‘By demanding our governor adopt the same failed pandemic restrictions as lockdown liberals like NY Gov. Hochul, while on vacation in Florida, the congresswoman unsurprisingly drew backlash and mockery.’

Pobrecita…

She was caught being a hypocrite then caught COVID after being umpteenth vaccinated.

She could dish it out online but couldn’t take it.

The people are the most thin skinned cowards, it’s amazing we let them have so much power.

But he thinks he’s the good guy in this exchange.

Operation Mike Tyson is going to be busy.

One more thing that irritated me about this piece of shit.

“I said it and I meant it. Ratio away.”

Translation: “I don’t fear any real consequences of my bigoted asshole opinion. You peons can say what you want to me online but it won’t really affect me because I’m prevaleged and protected.”

Mike Tyson was right when he said: “Social media made you all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it.”

Under my Dictatorship, I will create a Special Forces team of super heavy weight boxers to punch the fuck out of people who are too much of a dick bag online.

In the words of Alfie Solomons: “He’ll wake up. Granted he won’t have any teeth left but he will be a wiser man for it.”

Call it Operation Mike Tyson.

This motherfucker.

So if a child does all the work, gets the correct answers, and chooses not to mask in school districts where it’s optional, the teacher can retaliate by lowering the child’s grade and scuttling their future.

Except if you’re a radical Leftist where you believe right answers and doing the work are racist and white supremacist culture then the only thing that should be rewarded is obedience to government mandates.

Do these people wake up everyday and ask what they can do to make parents want to choose violence?

Actors and other personnel who handle firearms on film sets in New Mexico would be required to take a gun safety course from the state Department of Game and Fish before the cameras start rolling under a bill introduced Monday.
A film production company with workers who fail to comply with the requirement of obtaining a “valid certificate of competency in the safe handling of firearms” would be ineligible for the state’s film credits under Senate Bill 188.
The legislation was born out of the Oct. 21 fatal shooting on the Rust film set at Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe. Authorities have said actor and co-producer Alec Baldwin’s prop revolver discharged a live round during a rehearsal, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.

‘Rust’ shooting prompts bill requiring actors to take gun safety training | Local News | santafenewmexican.com

I am on record against state mandatory requirements for training since you never know the kind of moron behind the laws and the probable ignorance on guns. But this is rubbing the face of the puppy in the big turd left in the living room and I kind of enjoyed the idea for a brief second or two.

I think that what they need to do is to force actors to make an action movie with Michael Mann and donate their monies to the NSSF’s Project ChildSafe. That way they get to train under real professionals and fund the distribution of gun locks and other safety device to reduce accidental killings of children by guns left unsafe.

Palm Beach Library worker kicks woman and her son out of the Library for not wearing a mask. She tells her that her son has a medical condition. The woman says "No you don't" then uses TONGS to take a mask out of a box! You cannot make this up! pic.twitter.com/xxlOY86joJ

Look at this old bag of a librarian hiding behind a mask and gloves, in her plexiglass fortification,trying to force a mask on a child with tongs.

This woman is a Covidian, scared of the air and a small child.  Presumably because she is fat and old and of the demographic most susceptible to COVID.

This is tyranny of the weak.

If you are old and scared of the air you can fuck right off into mandatory retirement.

We don’t need your milquetoast paranoia forcing the rest of us to act like lepers.

If you’re old and fear the air, rather than let you destroy a child to salve yourself, we just put you on a ice floe where you can be socially isolated to your heart’s content.
