Nobody is coming to help you
A Chicago mom who called 911 during a terrifying break-in was left on her own for hours — with dispatchers telling her to call her local representative to demand more police funding.
Michelle called the emergency hotline six times after coming face-to-face with two masked bandits, only for the strained supervisor to tell her the city’s severe budget cuts had left them with a bare-bones staff.
“A gentleman got on and said sorry to say we have no units to send you … then there was an awkward pause,” Michelle told NBC Chicago Wednesday…
“He also recommended I call my alderman and I said why, and he said encourage him to hire more police. The dispatcher also asked me if I would consider defending myself … if I had a weapon or considered getting one.”
Note the bolded statement.
This is the reality of living in a major metropolitan area, especially one run by Democrats.
Crime is up and police are down.
You are on your own, possibly for hours.
You need to be aware of that and prepared to do what is necessary to save yourself.
A gun, a flashlight, and a fire extinguisher are your best friends in an emergency.
Semper Paratus, always be prepared.
Carry Everywhere indeed.
A post from Divemedic about a carjacking at somebody’s driveway.
I won’t say I carry inside the house, but I went years ago with the schoolings of Cat Shannon* and there are guns about 3 feet from me anywhere inside the domicile, including long guns.
But if I go outside, I am carrying even if it is to mow the lawn.
I am usually dressed light while mowing and the little Remington 380 loaded with Critical Duty does not make much of a bounce while riding in the zero turn. And it is pretty accurate and reliable, so I do not feel too under gunned.
(*) Cat Shannon is the main character of the book and the movie The Dogs of War. In the flick, he has a gun pretty much hidden everywhere in his apartment including the fridge. Unfortunately the Missus will not allow a firearm inside the Frigidaire.
Always play to their prejudices and they will never see you coming.
If he was not such a narrow-minded bigot, he could have posted something along MAGA people reading the “wrong” books and could have for an interesting argument about reading materials and how we choose what we read and how we interpret it.
But he went with the preconceived ideas that those not “thinking” like him must be ignorant creatures who do not know how to operate a book, less have use for them or the necessary furniture to hold them.
And I want them to keep thinking like that. I want them underestimating the shit out their opponents.
Till reality smacks them hard and permanently.
Harrel v. Raoul, update
This consolidated case is still live before the Supreme Court.
It was heard on the May 16th conference. It was put on the agenda for May 23rd. Yesterday, we learned that it is on the Agenda for the 30th of May.
It takes 4 Justices to agree to grant certiorari. It takes 5 to deny. This means that there are currently Justices that are still undecided and who are doing research.
For comparison, Duncan was distributed for conference one before Bruen and then again after Bruen where it was GVR.
Bruen was distributed for Conference (put on the agenda) On 2021-4-1, 2021-4-16, and then again on 2021-4-23.
Three days later, certiorari was granted.
Monday will be interesting.
TDS DeNiro faithfully defended by the Left.
There was a war of insults between De Niro and Trump supporters in NY. As usual Bobby D pretended to be gangster, but his bodyguards deviated him from getting his ass to pay for the checks being issued by his mouth.
The Twiter/X Leftyverse obviously came in defense of De Niro citing his acting as proof of value, but they kept bringing him as The Godfather.
Sorry, no. There is only one Godfather and that was Marlon Brando. De Niro portrayed nicely the young and coming Vito Corleone, but he was at best a secondary actor in a movie where the star was true actor Al Pacino.
De Niro has played pretty much one role through his career and that is the one of mafioso. Depending on the movie, he adds sprinkles of certain flavor, but they are all pretty much the same foundation. And he is pretty decent at it only if he does not make the mistake of casting a better actor opposite to him like in A Bronx Tale where Chaz Palminteri puts to shame anything De Niro has ever done as mobster.
“Now yous can’t leave”
De Niro peaked with Raging Bull. It has been repeating the same mobster act since then.
