Because I don’t feel safe

I haven’t heard from Cocks Not Glocks in a while.  I figured the vacuousness of their stupidity had caused them to collapse.

I was wrong.  They are back with this stupid video.

According to their founder, Jessica Jin:

“I think the issue is the normalization of violence. Rather than actually taking any serious steps towards addressing why students are so scared to go to school every day without a gun, we’re just talking about creating more violence, which is not a transformative or restorative solution whatsoever.”

Of course the bloodbath they these people prognosticate will happen when “‘virtually anyone with a license’ [is allowed to] to bring a gun on to school grounds,” never happens.

But to answer her rhetorical question “why students are so scared to go to school every day without a gun?”

“It’s people like you.”

Antisemitism on college campuses is up 45%, with some anti-Israel protests turning violent.

There are professors who make publish OpEds that “It’s Okay To Hate Republicans.”  Professors who get violent with students who support Trump.  Professors who call for the mass murder and collective punishment of Republicans.

 

There is Antifa on college campuses threatening violence and beating people with bike locks (this one may in fact be a Professor too), bottles, and sticks.  There are college Socialist groups creating “fight clubs” to “bash the fash,” meaning Republicans in general and Trump supporters in particular.

To top it all off, there was the mob violence of the “Battle of Berkeley.”

So you want to know why I want to carry a gun on college campuses.

Because I am a free speech-supporting, pro-Israel,  Jewish Republican, who won’t apologize for my straight, white privilege.

Or according to your people, a racist, homo/trans-phobic, fascist, genocidal, apartheid-supporting  Nazi who deserves to get bashed (possibly to death).

It is no exaggeration to say that on some college campuses I am behind enemy lines, if not completely in the belly of the beast.  After watching the Berkeley police stand down during the riots, I know that if a few Love-Trumps-Hate-Progressives try to kick my teeth in for having the audacity to believe in the principle “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,” the cops won’t be jumping in to save me.

I have to be ready to protect myself from the likes of you.

Now that I say that out loud, makes perfect sense why you want to ban guns on campus.

It makes it easier for your masked compatriots to kick my teeth in.

California Culture

I caught a documentary on the History Channel, LA Riots: 25 Years Later.

It was fascinating.

Here is the trailer (it actually premiered April 23rd)

Early on in the documentary, it was discussed how the police were told to pull back or stand down.

It was felt that during the Watts Riots in 1965, the presence of police antagonized the crowds and made the riots worse.  The decision was made to hold the police back and allow the people to vent their frustration and not have the police exacerbating the tension on by arresting those throwing rocks or engaged in minor crimes.

The result of allowing the riots to get out of hand was over 50 dead, 2,000 wounded, and $1 BILLION in property damage.

As it turns out, when dealing with a riot, it is like dealing with a wildfire.

You put it out while it is small, before it spreads and burns down the whole forest.  Assuming that it will burn out on its own is just inviting disaster.

Think about that lesson learned in 1992 when you read that Berkeley police had a stand down order when it came to campus speaker riots.

Lets be clear.

This:

Causes this:

California had three chances to learn this, 1965, 1992, and now 2017.

They won’t.  They are blinded by ideology.  Maintaining law and order in The Golden State is not part of how they do things.

 

Brotherly Love Trumps Hate

“Love Trumps Hate.”  That’s what we keep hearing from the Left.

Well in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, some loving, tolerant individuals decided to celebrate their annual procession around our sun by bludgeoning a pinata in the likeness of Republican Senator Pat Toomey.

Once the effigy had been knocked to the ground, it was stomped on to the cheers and celebration of the onlookers.

To add insult to injury, the pinata was filled with condoms and lube.

I find myself suddenly reminded of the Two Minute Hate from Orwell’s magnum opus, 1984.

“The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one’s will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp.”

This is a sickness.

I have never been to a birthday party or NRA meeting that had a Pinata of Diane Feinstein or Chuck Schumer filled with ammo.

It doesn’t take much to go from smashing in the face of a pinata to smashing in the face of a person when consumed by this much hate.

This is going to get worse before it gets better.

 

Hunting over bait

I caught this video online of some private security fending off some Somali pirates from a container ship.

Not bad, needs more 50 cal.  A think a Barrett M82 throwing some API hate at those boats would be a really good deterrent.

Also, starting at 25 seconds in, the guy behind the camera starts bouncing some rounds off the railing he’s hiding behind.

Lesson: cover is important but watch your muzzle.

 

 

Distance is your friend

Two videos have emerged from the Antifa protests of Antifa using bike l9ks on the end of chains as impact weapons like a medieval mace.   They are easy to conceal, hit hard, and don’t attract as much attention as a stick.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BGBathFnjMc

And

That whack to the head sounded hard.  The guy was bleeding badly within seconds.   I wouldn’t have been surprised if he had a skull fracture.  That is potentially lethal.

I don’t go to protests. 

If you do, think about wearing a helmet.   A good DOT approved three-quarter motorcycle helmet would be my recommendation.

Helmeted or not, protest or parking lot confrontation over a door ding, DISTANCE IS YOUR FRIEND.   Don’t let someone that angry at you close enough to you.  The more distance they have to close before touching you, the more time you have to react.

Also, if somebody ever tried to hit me with s bike lock, I’m going to shoot them in the liver.  This is why I don’t go to protests, you can’t carry at them.

Women, Fists, and Guns

Shannon Watts believes the future is female.

She has taken to Twitter and Facebook to boost her Feminist cred.  She kicked off #Leggingsgate with typical Social Justice Feminist flare about the sexualization of women, policing women’s bodies, etc.

She has made domestic violence and gun crime against women a cornerstone of Mom’s Demand Action.

She’s so woke in feminsim that having The Nuge go to the White House is a threat to women.

One would get the idea that Shannon Watts really cares about women.

She doesn’t.

She’s a Progressive Leftist and only pretends to care about women so long as it convenient to her cause.

When a doctor in Michigan was caught performing female genital mutilation on young girls, there wasn’t a peep from Watts or Left Wing Feminists.  Why?  Because the defense preferred for butchering little girls was “religious freedom for Islam.”  So… crickets.

Well, the other pet group for Leftists right now is immigrants, especially illegal ones.

So what happens when a female immigrant manager in the Left Wing tech company Apple, gets the shit beat out of her by her silicon valley CEO immigrant husband?

A slap on the wrist.

A conviction for domestic violence comes with deportation.   The Left can’t have that, for any reason, so Progressive locals aren’t convicting domestic abusers of the crimes the commit.

California pleads immigrants way down.  New York City won’t hold them for ICE, and lets them go back to their families.

Apparently the danger to women isn’t the “boyfriend loophole” but the “non-citizen loophole.”  All you have to do is be a shade of brown and not a US citizen and you can beat the hell out of your family and Progressives won’t stop you.

For all that Shannon Watts seems to care about domestic violence, she only cares about it when it is a white, American man slapping his wife around.  Then she’ll nail you to the wall and take away every right you have… because feminism.  Be here on a Green Card, or better yet illegally, and your wife can “walk into a door” as many times as you like and Left will have your back… because intersectional feminism.

Watts and her Democrat ilk don’t actually “give a shit” about women or domestic violence, only advancing identity politics.

*

If Watts does decide to run for office in Colorado, I beg someone who reads this blog form the Centennial State to ask Watts this question at a Town Hall:

“Ms. Watts, you believe that people convicted of domestic violence should lose their right to own guns as per Federal law.  Do you also believe that non-citizens should be deported for a conviction for domestic violence as per Federal law?”

I want to see the answer to that.

Girl Power Watts

I caught the beginning of this story on Twitchy.

Shannon  Watts retweeted a bit from Now This News about a 16 year old girl at Arizona Senator Jeff Flake’s town hall.

This is the only video I could embed of this exchange, it is from a different perspective but the audio is the same.

The progressive media outlets have been all a buzz about this exchange.

The Independent put it this way “This 16-year-old girl expertly shut down a Republican on abortion.”  Claiming “Republican Senator Jeff Flake met his match in a town hall meeting about Planned Parenthood. An eloquent, fierce 16-year-old young woman.”

According to Refinery 29 “Watch This 16-Year-Old Girl School A Republican Senator On Planned Parenthood.”

As per Business Insider “‘Why is it your right to take away my right to choose?’: Teenager slams top Republican senator during testy town hall.”

From MIC. “Teen slams Republican senator, defends Planned Parenthood in epic town hall exchange.”

Oh SNAP!  A 16 year old girl must have really handed this senator his ass.

Actually, this is 21st century social justice progressive feminism, so to a thinking person, it was a shit show.

First, this teenager has the audacity to lecture the Senator that he is a privileged white male and she is a poor, female, person of color.  This of course is to imply that his opinion is wrong because he is a progressive untermensch.

Then she devolves into demanding free stuff (in this case, birth control) from the goverment in the form of Planned Parenthood funding, because that is her American Dream.

She may be entitled to birth control through Title, but access to Planned Parenthood is not a “right” in any way I believe the founders used that word.  Personally, I am 100% for the defunding of Planned Parenthood.  Not so much that I care about abortion, but that it is a DNC Super PAC.   It donates 99% of its political contributions to Democrats.  Even Politifact had to agree that the Planned Parenthood donated millions to Democrats.  Sure, they claim that the healthcare side of PP is separate from the political side of PP, but that is a serious case of bullshit.  It assumes that money is not fungible, which it is.  The effect of this is that PP is as much a birth control provide as it is a money laundering scheme for funnel federal funds to the DNC.

But I digress…

“Check your privilege white man, give me taxpayer money” is a terribly shitty message.  But it is the type of shitty, entitled message that progressivism is embracing.

Shannon Watts is among those progressives.

Nothing screams “empowered woman” like endless demands for government subsidies for women specific issues.

I believe that Miguel is right that Shannon Watts is hitching her wagon to Emerge America is a first step towards a Congressional campaign.  The link in the above tweet is for this article from The New York Times on just how gender equity in state legislature means more  welfare for women.

Even in Nevada, tone-deaf misogyny still echoes in the chamber. After a nurse testified to the calls she received from low-income women forced to choose between feminine hygiene products and food for their children, a male lawmaker asked if he could get his jockstrap tax free.

WIC, EBT, TANF, the earned income tax credit, that’s not enough in handouts available to low income single mothers.  We have to give away MORE.

Once upon a time, a politician would be warned not to insult potential voters.  That is old and busted.  The new hotness is telling white men just how terrible they are, and seeing as how well that worked for President Hillary “Basket of Deplorables” Clinton, it is being adopted DNC wide.

White male suicide is skyrocketing.  Many middle aged, white men are facing hard economic times, home values lost, job markets changing, retirement savings deflated, and reviled by popular culture.  They cry out for help only to be ignored or told to “check your privilege.”  They’ve lost hope.  What does a Democrat candidate in Maine think about that?  He laughs at the idea of white men killing themselves.

Shannon Watts picks a fight with a potential male supporter.

Men have been in charge for too long and it is time for a Woman to stamp the boot in the face for a while.  It’s a matter of gender equality.

It seems that at least one other person didn’t find that message something to embrace.  But she must be a white male.

Looking at the whole of Shannon Watts’ Twitter feed, her message (if she really does run) seems to be:

“I’m going to take your guns, take your money, and spend more on partisan entitlement programs.  If you don’t agree, check your privilege you misogynist white male.”

I can only hope that it is as effective a strategy for her as it was for Hillary.
