I posed earlier about the stabbing death of Leftist activist Ryan Carson.

His girlfriend is now the beneficiary of a GoFundMe for over $60,000 at the time of this posting.

In the description it says:

Hi everyone.

We are a collective of Ryan’s close friends, reeling from a brutal loss. We are asking for your help on behalf of his partner in easing the burden and stress of this horrifying situation so that we can have space and time to grieve, and remember Ryan. Immediate needs are to offset the costs of working class people taking time off of work to properly mourn.

This is a lot of Leftist gobbledygook that translates to covering her bills while she mourns, while increasing her victim status.

The original goal was $20,000 but they blew right past that.

How long a mourning period does she need, because $20,000 is a lot of money.  It’s way more than the average weekly salary, assuming she took of a week.

At $60,000, that’s a year’s salary to take off from work to mourn.

And she’s his girlfriend, not his wife.

Her boyfriend gets stabbed and she rushes to GoFundMe to make money off his death.

That seems odd.

And another thing.

Watch the video again.

Her behavior is odd.

Shr doesn’t scream, she doesn’t apply first aid, she doesn’t touch him and try to help, she doesn’t call the police, she just stands over his crumpled body and asks “are you okay.”

But she does create a GoFundMe.

This whole situation seems sketchy.

Ryan Carson, 32, is stabbed to death while waiting at bus stop with his girlfriend in unprovoked attack by unhinged thug

A left wing activist who was stabbed to death in New York City while waiting at a bus stop with his girlfriend, had just spent the evening prior with his partner at a wedding.

Ryan Carson, 32, was stabbed in the chest multiple times, and the blade pierced his heart, during the unprovoked attack at 4am near Lafayette Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard in Brooklyn.

Ryan was with his girlfriend when the suspect – wearing a dark colored sweatshirt with his hood up – asked ‘What the f**k are you looking at?’ before violently stabbing him in the chest.

The attacker can be heard saying ‘I’ll kill you!’ on camera while Carson pleads with him and holds up his hand.

His girlfriend can be heard in the security footage shouting: ‘Please, please, please!’

Carson falls over the bench he had been sitting on before the attacker knocks him to the ground and knifes him multiple times.

He then spits on the girlfriend, kicks Carson’s body and storms away.

Here is the video:

A lot of people on the internet have pointed out Carson is a radical Leftist, Antifa, communist who protested against the police and for more safe injection sites, and therefore he is the victim of his own ideology.

I won’t argue that.

But these thugs aren’t just stabbing Antifa activists.

That could have been anyone on that corner.

I hate NYC but I attended a buddy’s wedding there when he invited me and the reception got out after midnight.

This is why the Supreme Court decided the way it did on Bruen.

I counted this guy backing up and pushing they thug away three times before he ended up dead.

In any place in America, any expected duty to retreat has been met (for places that have it) and this would have been a good shoot.

I don’t personally care about guys like Carson.

I do care about myself if I have to end up in NYC or Chicago or Minneapolis.

Sorry for the lack of posting.

It’s been an exhausting few days.

I’ll give you a hint.

I’ll do a longer writeup when I’m back home.

The religion of trigger discipline strikes again.

Tomorrow we start learning from the master.

I flew into PDX (Portland Airport) yesterday, got a rental car, and started heading south.

Portland is a shithole.

From the road, every building looks run down and many were empty and abandoned.

Every surface was covered in graffiti.

Every bridge and overpass had a shanty town of makeshift structures under it where the homeless were living.

There was garbage everywhere.

There were dead RVs on the shoulder of the highway with people living in them.

There were hitchhiking vagrants on the highway and people pushing shopping carts on the shoulder.

I has been on planes for nine hours and had five hours of driving ahead of me.  I wanted a place to stretch my legs and I needed to pick up a few items (mouthwash, drinks, etc) that due to weight I figured it would be easier to get at my destination. ($2 for a bottle of mouthwash and $50 for an overweight bag at the airport isn’t a hard decision.)

I drove to Tualatin to go to Cabela’s and Fred Meyer.

Once I got into Tualatin, about 15 min south of Portland, everything got much nicer.

Whatever is killing Portland is definitely driven by Portland politics. I hope it doesn’t metastasize into the suburbs, because Portland should be a warning to everyone else. It was horrible.

I posted about the gun safe I installed in my truck and portable security for cars while traveling.

I am in Oregon with a shitload of shooting gear and some dead time between checking out of our hotel and checking into another.

I’d like to get out of the car and not worry, so I put mu plans into action.

I rented a small SUV and this is how my guns are secured.

I have the Pelican case locked with two padlocks. A steel cable through those padlocks and locked to the tie-down points in the trunk.

Is it perfect?

No.

Did it travel on an airplane under 50 lbs and will it be resistant to someone who pops a window with a punch and tries to pull it out of the trunk?

Yes.

Additional security measures involve not stopping in bad areas and only in nice looking suburban areas.

This is where local crime maps are helpful.

I’m currently posing from a Starbucks in a suburban shopping mall in a nice community in Southern Oregon.  There is a Trader Joe’s and an REI in the same mall, if you want to judge the neighborhood.

I can see my rental car from my seat.

Security is a matter of layers, and this is enough of a layer to resist a smash and grab in a parking lot.
