YouTuber won a stupid prize

YouTuber making prank video shot at Dulles Town Center

The victim critically injured inside Dulles Town Center mall said he was recording a prank video for his YouTube page when he was shot.

Tanner Cook, 21, remained in the intensive care unit the next day with his mother by his side after one bullet pierced through his stomach and liver.

Officials arrested and charged Colie on Sunday with aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and discharging a firearm within a building.

Sheriff Mike Chapman said the shooting was a result of a fight that broke out in the food court between both men. The gunfire caused panic among mallgoers.

“I was playing a prank and a simple practical joke, and this guy didn’t take it very well,” said Tanner Cook.

Despite what led up to the gunfire, Tanner Cook’s father said the shooting was shocking and unnecessary.

“They were making a video at the mall and trying to have fun with people and this guy wasn’t having fun,” added Jeramy Cook. “There was a phone that was around him and they were interviewing or talking to him, and he didn’t like it and he pulled out his gun and shot my son.”

Despite his injuries, Tanner Cook said it will not stop him from creating videos.

So he pulled a prank on the wrong guy and got a stomach and liver full of bullet for it.

I’m not saying it was a good shoot, it wasn’t, but fucking around with strangers in a public place is a pretty fucking stupid thing to do.

The fact that he’s gonna go back at it is proof positive that he’s a moron.

I guess YouTube fame and money is more important than not getting shot.

Idiot.

Screw the Blue

I read shit like this and I wonder how anyone can “back the Blue” anymore.

A 9-year-old girl didn’t want her goat slaughtered. California fair officials sent deputies after it

Every day for three months, Jessica Long’s young daughter walked and fed her goat, bonding with the brown and white floppy-eared animal named Cedar. But when it was time for Cedar to be sold and slaughtered at the Shasta District Fair last year, the 9-year-old just couldn’t go through with it.

“My daughter sobbed in her pen with her goat,” Long wrote to the Shasta County fair’s manager on June 27, 2022. “The barn was mostly empty and at the last minute I decided to break the rules and take the goat that night and deal with the consequences later.”

Long purchased the goat for her daughter to enter into the 4-H program with the Shasta District Fair. Children are taught how to care for farm animals. The animals are then entered in an auction to be sold and then slaughtered for meat in hopes of teaching children about the work and care needed to raise livestock and provide food, as farmers and ranchers do.

In her letter, Long pleaded for the fair to make an exception and let her and her daughter take Cedar back. Aware that Cedar had already been sold in auction, she also offered to “pay you back for the goat and any other expenses I caused,” according to the letter obtained by The Times.

Instead, officials reached out to the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office. Armed with a search warrant, detectives drove more than 500 miles across Northern California in search of the goat.

Echoing language used when law enforcement search a home for drugs, the warrant allowed deputies to “utilize breaching equipment to force open doorway(s), entry doors, exit doors, and locked containers” and to search all rooms, garages and “storage rooms, and outbuildings of any kind large enough to accommodate a small goat.”

“It was never about money,” said Vanessa Shakib, an attorney for Advancing Law for Animals who represents Long. “County officials were clear that they wanted to teach this little girl a lesson.”

Attorneys argue the county used the warrant “for the sole purpose of circumventing the civil process” and killed the goat as a way to end Long and her daughter’s fight for Cedar.

“The government was seeking to silence our clients viewpoint,” Shakib said. “Our lawsuit seeks to hold public officials accountable for violating the law and enacting a personal vendetta against a little girl simply because she loved her goat.”

Holy fucking shit.

This was a 9-year-old little girl who loved her pet goat and didn’t want it slaughtered.

I understand that.  I have a little girl that can’t reconcile the fact that the chicken nuggets she eats were chickens and the hamburgers were cows.

They offered to buy back the goat but the farm sent the fucking sheriff’s office after her to raid her parents home.

There are so many ways that this could have been handled differently, but a battering ram and a SWAT team was how it was resolved.

I hope that little girl learned a lesson.

Bureaucrats and cops are callous, officious fucks who do not care about your feelings and will stomp you into the ground over the pettiest of bullshit.

That chair saved his life

This is an interesting video:

 

You can see the moment he loses consciousness when he gets punched in the face.

He topples head first towards the floor.

Instead of hitting his skull on the hard tile floor his body lands in the chair.

Had he toppled head first onto the floor, he very well may could have gotten a fatal or permanently disabling TBI.

I’ve covered a lot of one punch kills on this blog, and this video is interesting because it shows one almost happening except for the chair that broke his fall.

I don’t care what the boy said to the man, I hope that man was charged with attempted murder.

Constitutional carry to fight corruption

The most compelling reason for shall issue, or even better, Constitutional carry, is because fuck corrupt cops.

Anyone who has been in or around occupational licensing knows just how fucking corrupt that system is.

I watched health inspectors demand bribes in restaurants.

The New York Liquor Authority is the most corrupt agency in America at the state level.

It is impossible to get a liquor license without bribes, and since restaurants live or due on liquor licenses, the agents know they can demand high dollar values for them.

Miguel has documented the corruption at the NYPD for issuing gun permits.

California is no different.

Star witness affirms pay-to-play for gun permits at Santa Clara County sheriff corruption trial

A star criminal witness, whose confessions to bribing his way into getting concealed-gun permits laid the groundwork for criminal indictments that scandalized the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, took the stand Monday in the civil corruption trial for Sheriff Laurie Smith.

Martin Nielsen testified publicly for the first time about how he and the former head of the defunct executive security firm AS Solution — whose high-profile clients included the likes of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg — agreed to financially support Smith’s 2018 re-election bid to procure so-called concealed-carry weapons permits for their security agents. Those agents were assigned to protect executives for the company then known as Facebook.

As he told a criminal grand jury in 2020 and a separate civil grand jury last year — in secret testimony later disclosed in public transcripts — Nielsen detailed how in the wake of an infamous 2018 shooting at the YouTube campus in San Bruno, he was tasked with finding a way to get their high-level security agents the ability to carry concealed handguns.

Nielsen, testifying under a grant of immunity from criminal prosecution, said that he and then-AS Solution CEO Christian West eventually arranged to donate a large sum to an independent expenditure committee backing Smith’s re-election. Nielsen added that Capt. James Jensen brokered the issuing of four CCW permits for Nielsen and three security employees.

Initially, the discussion involved acquiring more than a dozen permits, but Nielsen was clear in affirming that a hefty political donation would make it happen.

That hefty donation was $90,000.

That’s $7,500 per permit.

Ordinary citizens can’t get them and the bodyguards for the wealthy elite have to pay a king’s random for them.

Corruption and bribery is what happens when you put may issue in the hands of government authority.

I would love to see nothing more than SCOTUS make the whole country Constitutional Carry just to fuck over corrupt cops.

 

I never thought I’d see it but it’s happening

Florida just went Constitutional Carry.

It was the 26th state to do so, making more than half the states in the Union Constitutional Carry.

Moreover, two of the three most populous states (Texas and Florida) are Constitutional Carry.

Whatever the antis say, it doesn’t matter, Constitutional Carry is now the national norm.

Now all we have to do is make the remaining 24 states Constitutional Carry as well.
