Animal Mother for the win.

This is why Adam Baldwin is the best Baldwin, also that he’s not related to the other Baldwins helps too.

It’s amazing just how effective good dads are at encouraging good behavior.

A group of dad were able to do what an army of credentialed experts could not.

Paranoid, conspiracy me recognizes the problem here.

A bunch of dads doing dad things doesn’t give a government official and multi million dollar budget to hire credentialed useless people to continue to fuck things up in perpetuity.

It really seems like if one particular political party wanted to create milti trillion dollar bureaucratic empire of credentialed useless people so they could shovel endless sums if money into their and their friends pockets, the first thing to do is to create policy that incentivized fatherless homes to kick start a social crisis needing intervention.

I fully support these dads.

My fear is that there are bureaucrats watching this thinking: I’m going to lose my budget if those dads are successful, I’m going to have to stop them.

Then said bureaucrat will go to his elected superiors and convince them to shut down the dads for lacking useless degrees that only the approved credentialed experts have.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, yes I absolutely believe that the bureaucratic state is the enemy of the people and deliberately causes problems so they can justify getting the budget to solve – but not actually solve – the problems they created.

In the black community that problem is dads.  The bureaucratic state got rid of the black dads so they could get money to step in and address the social problems the lack of dads causes.  Literally destroyed the black community for generations to fluff their budgets.

And the proof is this video.

Forty volunteer black dads did what the entire social work and public education bureaucratic state couldn’t, all in a couple of days and without a dime in taxpayer money.

From the LA Times:

‘Rust’ crew describes on-set gun safety issues and misfires days before fatal shooting

Hours before actor Alec Baldwin fatally shot a cinematographer on the New Mexico set of “Rust” with a prop gun, a half-dozen camera crew workers walked off the set to protest working conditions.

The camera operators and their assistants were frustrated by the conditions surrounding the low-budget film, including complaints about long hours, long commutes and collecting their paychecks, according to three people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to comment.

Safety protocols standard in the industry, including gun inspections, were not strictly followed on the “Rust” set near Santa Fe, the sources said. They said at least one of the camera operators complained last weekend to a production manager about gun safety on the set.

Three crew members who were present at the Bonanza Creek Ranch set that day said they were particularly concerned about two accidental prop gun discharges on Saturday.

Baldwin’s stunt-double accidentally fired two rounds Saturday after being told that the gun was “cold” — lingo for a weapon that doesn’t have any ammunition, including blanks, two crew members who witnessed the episode told the Los Angeles Times.

“There should have been an investigation into what happened,” said the crew member. “There were no safety meetings. There was no assurance that it wouldn’t happen again. All they wanted to do was rush, rush, rush.”

A colleague was so alarmed by the prop gun misfires he sent a text message to the unit production manager. “We’ve now had 3 accidental discharges. This is super unsafe,” according to a copy of the message reviewed by the Times.

The actor was preparing to film a scene in which he pulls a gun out of a holster, according to a source close to the production. Crew members had already shouted “cold gun” on the New Mexico set. The filmmaking team was lining up its camera angles and had yet to retreat to the video village, an on-set area where crew gathers to watch filming from a distance via a monitor.

Baldwin removed the gun from its holster once without incident, but the second time he repeated the action, ammunition flew toward the trio around the monitor. The projectile whizzed by the camera operator but penetrated Hutchins near her shoulder, then continued through to Souza.

Multiple accidental discharges, guns not checked, guns called cold when they were hot, this incident was going to happen on set.

This was a low budget film where every corner was cut until someone died.

Baldwin was a producer, so he may be legally culpable in this negligent death if he created the unsafe working conditions.

This whole situation was fucked.

This person is living in an alternative reality disconnected from this one.

I knew about this range.  Other YouTubers have shot there, especially Bloke on the Range.

What I really like about this video is the point he makes at the end.

The idea that anyone who goes through all the training, permitting, and rigmarole of getting a gun in Switzerland isn’t going to commit a gun crime.

This is what we have been saying for years about concealed carry permit holders in the United States.

Anyone who is willing to go to the police station and willingly have their fingerprints scanned and background checked (e.g., Florida, Illinois, Nebraska, North Carolina, etc.) is not someone likely to commit a gun crime.

The statistics in Florida, which tracks that, really bears that out.

In Switzerland, that is so well understood they let permitted people shoot over a highway.

Nobody walked out at Netflix when they premiered what amounted to soft-core child porn about a dance team of early pubescent French girls.

In fact, those of us who criticized that were called ignorant and racist knuckle-draggers.

And you wonder why so many people believe that the world is run by an elite group of pedophiles?
