Let’s check all the things that were done right.

– Sturdy door. They bad guys tried but failed to open the door quickly. It may have given the homeowner time to activate his plan.
– Camera. It is a wild guess, but the delay in shooting is probably explained by the homeowner checking the feed and realizing they were not “Seattle Police.”
– Motion activated light. I think we have heard this before: Be sure of your target.
– Don’t break perimeter. No need to go John Wick close up and personal. Better they don’t see you coming.
– HAVE A GUN! At the end of the day (or night in this instance) it was the proper application of firepower that ended the attack.

I love happy endings. How about you?

The Burn Pile!!!!

Nothing says freedom like burning stuff in your backyard.

B.L.U.F.A look at FRAP as it applies to civil cases, most Second Amendment challenges are civil cases. Tied to games being played by Everytown in Antonyuk v. Hochul, 22-2972, (2d Cir.)

(1400 words)

There are rules for everything that the courts do. There are standard forms that are to be used. There is a general set of rules, written by congress, and each “court” can have additional, published rules.

When a party does something in a case, they must abide by the rules of that court.

FRAP starts with Rule 1, giving us the scope of the rules.

1. Scope of Rules.
   1. These rules govern procedure in the United States courts of appeals.
   2. When these rules provide for filing a motion or other document in the district court, the procedure must comply with the practice of the district court.

Of course, since this is the government writing rules for the government, what they give with one hand, they remove with the other:

Rule 2. Suspension of Rules

Some of this makes perfect sense, and we see it in use all the time.

For example, we have this docket entry:

When looking at the actual motion, it starts with a standard form following FRAP Rule 27.

The 10/7 attack on Israel is coming to America.

The radical Leftists on college campuses have been cheering on the “decolonization” of Israel.

Never mind that the Jews are indigenous and the Arab Palestinians who practice a religion from Saudi Arabia are the colonists.

This is nothing but a rhetorical device to justify racial war and genocide.

This is a perfect example:

Black nationalist calls on his black followers to "decolonize America"

He’s black. Obviously not indigenous to the US either, but that really doesn’t matter.  He just needs a way to make his desire to commit genocide against white people morally righteous.

He’s not one.

Posters like this have been appearing all over America.

First a genocide in Israel, then a genocide here.

Ideologically, they want to commit genocide.

The question is, are they brave enough to try it in a nation with a gun culture like ours?

Just another reason why Journos are to be despised:

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — New video shows how the increasingly bizarre campaign for mayor in Franklin is being viewed by some as a spiritual war.

Video from a tent revival in Franklin late last week shows how Gabrielle Hanson appears to believe God is on her side.

But critics say that video should be a wake-up call about the dangers of those who are now trying to get political control to force their faith on others.

What are they afraid of? It is not like you will see her of her followers strapping suicide vests or paragliding and gunning concertgoers or shooting grandparents in their houses, right?

We end the week with good news out of California. Judge Benitez has ruled that assault weapon bans are unconstitutional.

The case is Miller v. Becerra, 3:19-cv-01537, (S.D. Cal.)

I’ll be doing some writing about F.R.A.P. and this case over the weekend. Maybe I can keep it down to just a few thousand words.

Anybody want to place bets on how many words pour out of my fingers over the weekend?

Regardless, the comments are open, please let us know what you are thinking about, what you want us to write about.

Side story, back in 2016, a bunch of hooligans were defacing my friend’s home. She is a former IDF. At that time, she was a pacifist. I don’t know where she stands on that front at this moment.

The important part was that these monsters were painting NAZI symbols on her door and driveway.

I offered to drive over in the redneck truck and sleep in her driveway for a few days. She didn’t take up the offer.

That offer is extended to J.Kb. if he wants to take us up on it.

My lady offered a great idea to our friend. Our friend rigged an air horn with a trip wire. When the savages showed up that night, they tripped the wire and the air horn went off in their ears. I’m told there were only brown stains on the walk way that night, and no more graffiti.

You are in a park, relaxing while legally carrying your weapon, and then you are breaking the law because some school decided to have a field day.

I need to start bothering local politicians.

A lot.
