Stay armed and be wary.
I cannot tell you how many times I have heard, and how angry it makes me to hear, anti gun idiots claim that someone didn’t need to shoot an attacker armed with a knife.
Man accused in stabbing deaths of 2 people in Georgetown released from jail days earlier
Prosecutors said two murder victims killed in an apartment in Georgetown were stabbed around 160 times in total.
Seattle Police arrested John Marcel Williams for killing a 53-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman inside an apartment on the 6100 block of 4th Ave S. The murders happened Sunday afternoon around 4:15 pm when a witness discovered the two victims.
Court documents say the suspect was seen on surveillance video walking towards the apartment with Wooden, “then leaving the apartment and appears to have blood on his hands.”
Police got a 911 call about a half hour later about a man walking around covered in blood, arresting the suspect within walking distance of the murder scene.
Court records show Williams has at least 65 arrests out of California and four just this year in Washington state for attempted rape, property destruction, vehicle prowling, unlawful use of weapons and misdemeanor assault.
Williams was previously arrested Labor Day weekend for attacking workers at Bacco Café near Pike Place Market. He was only charged with misdemeanor assault in that case.
The Seattle City Attorney’s Office says they negotiated a plea agreement for Williams to serve 60 days in jail with the rest of his nearly year-long sentence suspended for 24 months.
Williams pleaded guilty to three counts of misdemeanor assault, was sentenced to 56 days in jail with credit for time served and had just been released on Friday before police said he committed the murders just two days later.
Of course this guy was arrested 65 times, spent a couple of days in jail for assault, and was released 48 hours before committing two murders.
That’s part for the course in Seattle.
The thing to note is that this guy stabbed two people 160 times.
Thats roughly 80 stab wounds per person.
Think of how long that would take?
That would turn a human into ground meat.
Absolutely a gun is legitimate defense against that level of violence.
Never let them say “he only had a knife.”
“Only had a knife” is enough to turn a person into human tartar.
Mike Tyson famously said:
“Social media made y’all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it.”
Exhibit A:
If this was my wife who developed a heart condition from the vaccine and someone said this to me about her, there would be a plane ticket purchase and violence.
These people got way too comfortable saying shit about people and not getting punched in the face for it.
These people need to learn their lesson, paid with interest.
Some percussive dentistry with the back side of a garden spade is owed to a lot of people.
A father and daughter stabbed to death outside of a Kohl’s while shopping.
A crazy vagrant with a knife destroyed a family.
The police were utterly incapable of stopping this as California politics has lead to a massive increase in crazy vagrants turning California into a Third World shithole.
This is why the right to self defense and concealed carry is so important and must be enforced on states after Bruen.
We need to give good people the tools and ability to defend themselves when the politicians turn their neighborhoods into violent hell holes.

The comments and quote Tweets keep coming.
I’ve seen threads about this.
Almost every single one has been a “fuck you, no” followed by list of damages and grievances by those harmed by COVID lockdowns.
I’ve seen the phrase “crossed the Rubicon” a lot in describing what the state did to the people.
The anger by those who suffered against those who caused the suffering will not be satiated with elections and ballots.
The only thing that will curb this is blood.
Either proper Nuremberg type trials that put the lead Covidians in Federal prison, seizes their wealth, and runs them; or the people will move in the direction of frontier justice.
Live and let live will not be an option.
I see what’s coming down the pipe and it looks copper jacketed.

The article linked in the Tweet:
LET’S DECLARE A PANDEMIC AMNESTY
We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.
In April 2020, with nothing else to do, my family took an enormous number of hikes. We all wore cloth masks that I had made myself. We had a family hand signal, which the person in the front would use if someone was approaching on the trail and we needed to put on our masks. Once, when another child got too close to my then-4-year-old son on a bridge, he yelled at her “SOCIAL DISTANCING!”
These precautions were totally misguided. In April 2020, no one got the coronavirus from passing someone else hiking. Outdoor transmission was vanishingly rare. Our cloth masks made out of old bandanas wouldn’t have done anything, anyway. But the thing is: We didn’t know.
Some of these choices turned out better than others. To take an example close to my own work, there is an emerging (if not universal) consensus that schools in the U.S. were closed for too long: The health risks of in-school spread were relatively low, whereas the costs to students’ well-being and educational progress were high. The latest figures on learning loss are alarming. But in spring and summer 2020, we had only glimmers of information. Reasonable people—people who cared about children and teachers—advocated on both sides of the reopening debate.
The people who got it right, for whatever reason, may want to gloat. Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts. All of this gloating and defensiveness continues to gobble up a lot of social energy and to drive the culture wars, especially on the internet. These discussions are heated, unpleasant and, ultimately, unproductive. In the face of so much uncertainty, getting something right had a hefty element of luck. And, similarly, getting something wrong wasn’t a moral failing. Treating pandemic choices as a scorecard on which some people racked up more points than others is preventing us from moving forward.
We have to put these fights aside and declare a pandemic amnesty. We can leave out the willful purveyors of actual misinformation while forgiving the hard calls that people had no choice but to make with imperfect knowledge. Los Angeles County closed its beaches in summer 2020. Ex post facto, this makes no more sense than my family’s masked hiking trips. But we need to learn from our mistakes and then let them go. We need to forgive the attacks, too.
No.
I remember how those of us who were not Covidians, who did not blindly obey every Fauci pronouncement, were dehumanized.
I remember how pundits and opinionated assholes celebrated the deaths of the unvaccinated.
How they called those of us who resisted masking murderers and should be denied any form of health care and left to die in the streets.
I remember how they cursed us for wanted to put our kids back in school.
We on this blog have systematically cataloged all the destruction they caused.
Setting kids back years.
The cancers and other diseases that went untreated in hospitals that shut down for the COVID wave that never came.
The deaths from overdose and despair from people locked away.
The businesses that shut down and the business owners that went bankrupt.
In the end we were vindicated.
They narrative has collapsed.
What they did caused more harm to children than it did good.
They vaccines were useless to stop the spread and vaccine policies did more harm than good.
They destroyed the economy and caused the worst inflation in generations.
Had we done nothing in reaction to COVID we’d be better off.
Those who were going to get it and die did, regardless of lock downs and mask mandates.
Perhaps more lives would have been saved had drugs like Ivermectin not become political footballs.
And now that we know they everything they did caused pain and suffering beyond our ability to quantity it and didn’t save one life, they want amnesty and forgiveness.
No.
I want retribution.
I want them to suffer for how they made us suffer.
I want ditches filled with the bodies of Covidisns.
And if you read the replies to that Tweet, I am not alone.
Amnesty is the worst think they could ask for.
It will only make us madder.
When justice fails, people will take it into their own hands.
We can either have truth and reconciliation or we can have frontier justice.
But what we can’t have is the people who caused this mess to be forgiven and to maintain the status quo.
When I saw the news that Paul Pelosi was attacked with a hammer at his home but no details were released, I assumed, as in typical fashion about mass shooters, that the attack was carried out by someone who was inconvenient to the Leftist narrative.
At the time I thought, probably an illegal immigrant or minority criminals who didn’t know that was the Pelosi house and was engaged in one of the many robberies that has caused half of San Francisco residents to be a victim of property crime in the last few years.
It made sense. The Left is downplaying crime as an issue and if the Speaker of the House was a victim of an armed robbery, that would hurt their narrative. Best to make that go away.
Had it been some white guy in a MAGA hat, I’m sure the FBI would have started door-to-door raids of known Trump supporters already.
Then the details started to come out.
I was wrong, it wasn’t some dumb crook who didn’t know whose house he robbed.
But it wasn’t a Right wing attack either.
It’s weird as hell is what it is.
Paul Pelosi told attacker he needed to use the bathroom, called 911 from there
Law enforcement officials are still investigating how the alleged assailant, identified by police as 42-year-old David DePape, was able to access the speaker’s home and have not yet assessed a motive.
Paul Pelosi was able to dial 911 himself after telling the intruder he had to go use the bathroom and then calling from there, where his phone had been charging, according to a person familiar with the situation. He was hospitalized after the attack at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, where he successfully underwent surgery to repair a skull fracture and “serious injuries to right arm and hands,” Pelosi spokesperson Drew Hammill said in a statement Friday evening.
In a brief press conference Friday, San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said that police officers were dispatched to the Pelosi residence at about 2:30 a.m. for a “priority well-being check,” and arrived on the scene to find Paul Pelosi and DePape holding a hammer.
“The suspect pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it,” Scott said. “Our officers immediately tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took him into custody, requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid.”
DePape was running around the saying “where’s Nancy?”
A source briefed on the attack told CNN that the intruder shouted “Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy?” at the speaker’s husband, Paul Pelosi, after breaking into the home just before 2:30 a.m. CNN reported that the attacker also tried to tie Pelosi up, saying he was waiting for the speaker.
Then things get weird.
This is from the Sacramento Bee:
Conspiracy theories, racist posts: What we know about the Nancy Pelosi home invasion suspect
A blog written under the name of DePape — with the domain ‘godisloving.wordpress.com’ and banner that reads “Welcome to Big Brothers Censorship Hell” — includes articles titled ‘pedophile normalization,’ ‘facts are racist,’ and ‘Hitler did nothing wrong.’
His posts contain right-wing conspiracy theories, QAnon beliefs and racists messages. He repeatedly railed against government officials, the media and tech companies for alleged censorship. The blog, created in 2007, was largely inactive until this summer, when he made dozens of posts in the span of just four days in August.
Another website with entries also written by a person who identifies as David DePape similarly contains antisemitic and bigoted blog posts, including denial of the Holocaust.
CNN reported that DePape’s Facebook account, which has been taken down by the social media company, contained memes and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 vaccines, the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 attack.
According to a 2008 Oakland Tribune article, DePape has three children with Oxane “Gypsy” Taub, a prominent Bay Area nude activist who pushed conspiracy theories, including that 9/11 was an “inside job” and attempted to stage a naked wedding on the steps of San Francisco City Hall. A 2013 article in The San Francisco Chronicle identified David DePape as a “hemp jewelry maker” who was living in a Berkeley Victorian flat with Taub, their three children and Taub’s partner at that time, Jaymz Smith.
This is from Heavy.com:
David Depape, Paul Pelosi Suspect: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
An older picture of Depape, a Canadian-born resident of Berkeley, showed him alongside a prominent Berkeley nudist activist with whom he helped raise children.
Some of his posts referred to former President Donald Trump. “Either Q is Trump himself or Q is the deepstate moles within Trumps inner circle. So Q/Trump sabotaged their child trafficking operations. #2 self inflicted wound. Trumps covert id or a Deep state mole? Was Q refering to this? Did Q do this? another video,” he wrote, referring to QAnon. Some videos on his website show Pelosi.
So is he far Right, far Left, just plain fucking nuts?
He wasn’t a Trump fan.
And, of course, how did this guy get in past security?
We clearly don’t know enough but what we do know is that this is some bat shit craziness that isn’t “a Right Wing Trump supporter tried to assassinate Speaker Pelosi.”
