Dear (fill the blank).

I have just heard that State Democrats are once again pushing for the elimination of Stand Your Ground law and, once again, based in an unfortunate casein which Stand Your Ground did not apply.

The amount of disinformation regarding how Stand Your Ground applies is simply amazing and the Media is doing nothing to dispel it. They have been used data from Tampa newspapers to claim it is a racist law when the same data also tell us that the number of African Americans benefiting from Stand Your Ground are twice all other ethnicities combined.

Again, contrary what the Media and Democrats have been telling, Stand Your Ground is not a recent NRA/Koch Brothers creation, but it is a long-established legal interpretation by the Supreme Court of the United States dating back over a century: Beard v. United States – 158 U.S. 550 (1895). Rowe v. U S, (1896) and Brown v. United States, 256 U.S. 335 (1921).

Every single pro-gun and pro-self defense law enacted since the mid 80s had helped reduce violent crime in Florida. This is not fantasy, check the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Uniform Crime Report and see how even though our population has almost double, crime rated have dropped to rates not seen since the 1960s.
I ask you not to be taken by the emotional appeals of some misguided individuals that will wave the bloody shirt in front of your face, but to take in consideration that the cold hard facts is that any law that helps South Floridians freely exercise the most basic of human rights, self-defense, needs to be protected.

Thank you for your time.

Democratic leaders have secured signatures from the necessary 20 percent of Florida House and the Senate members to require Secretary of State Ken Detzner to poll all legislators as soon as Monday about convening a special session to address the state’s controversial ‘Stand Your Ground’ law.
“Breaking News: Proud to announce we’ve gained enough signatures in support of special session on the ‘Stand Your Ground Law,’” tweeted Sen. Kionne McGhee, D-Cutler Bay, the House Minority Leader-designate, Saturday. “Secretary of State has to begin polling legislators.”

As Democrats demand special session, NRA, key Republicans say fatal shooting may not meet ‘Stand Your Ground’ standards

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is serious stuff. They will not be happy with simply reversing SYG but I am sure they will impose Duty to Retreat and Self-Defense in Florida, for all intents and purposes, will be dead.

Time to contact you state  congresscritter and let him now you do NOT want SYG infringed in any way. Remind them cordially that elections are upcoming.

Get going.

The new season begins October 5. If you have not seen it yet, please do. Season one seems a bit sluggish, but that literally changes in the last episode.  I was ready to dump it and I went “HOLY FRIGGING PONIES OF CRAP!”

And the other thing Amazon did good was snatching The Expanse from inglorious death after the morons of SyFy decided to cancel the series. At the Gonzalez castle, we are ONE episode left from finishing the third season and the missus agrees with me: What the heck (she does not cuss) was SyFy thinking about?

And one last recommendation, also from Amazon:

Short stories from Philip K. Dick, one per episode. I am guessing I may need to pick up some books from him since one of my three great SciFi movies is based on one of his books: Blade Runner. His themes run alongside pretty much the current of anti-utopia which was what I was raised on (1984 – A Brave New World) and made me dislike anything else Science Fiction.

I did not tell you? I am NOT a SciFi fan.  Just like my stories about the  future, bleak and hopeless.

According to the people in Berkeley and supporters anyway. From censoring speech to White slavery, mugshots are a threat to the fabric of the country.

Or some horseshit like that, go on and read yourselves.

You have to admit, they’d make great TV lawyers but only in shows that allow a total suspension of disbelief and common sense.

LUBBOCK, Texas – Campus carry has been law in Texas for two years now, and Texas Tech police say the law makes the university a safer place.
They say the policy even deters potential active shooters from attempting a mass shooting situation.
“I believe it makes the campus a safer place, to live, learn and educate,” said Amy Ivey, a lieutenant at the Texas Tech Police Department.
Tech police say in a potential active shooter situation, someone able to stop it if they are armed.

Over and over again the Opposition cannot get a prediction to be fulfilled. Miss Cleo has a better rate of success. That is the reason they had to go after shooting adding a racial component to raise hell or lose income. The issue is that the followers are too dumb or do not care to remember what was warned and they continue to kiss their posteriors.

The poor bastards.

So J. Kb. beat me to the punch, bound to happen.

While Venezuela’s government said the incident was terrorism, the Associated Press reported that firefighters at the scene said one explosion was an accident caused by an exploding gas tank.
Whatever the blast’s source, the incident demonstrates the feverish tension in a once-prosperous nation facing crushing hyperinflation and hunger. Maduro, the successor to the late Hugo Chavez, a charismatic socialist, has led the formerly wealthy petrostate into a limbo of corruption and international sanctions.

Venezuelan President Maduro Is Unharmed After Apparent Attack

Occam’s Razor states that the simplest solution tends to be the right one. The Left and Communists love their conspiracies and the more complicated, the better. Drones delivering an explosive payload in an oil country than can’t afford gasoline? (more on that later) Or, maybe it was an explosion caused by a cooking gas tank from a building nearby as shown in the photos that come with the above article.

Using gas for cooking is very common in Venezuela. We had two big tanks at our home and truck would come by once a month and trade the empty canisters for filled one. For apartments, it is very common to have the small-sized tanks just like we use here for those heathens that grill with gas.

Unfortunately and being a Third World country, making sure the tanks are not sent out to customers if they have reached the end of their life cycle or if they have some sort of damage is not enforced.

Tanks will fail and if you are lucky, you just get a fissure and if no flame around, you just toss the thing outside till it empties. But sometimes people are not so lucky:

We had a neighbor five houses  (’bout 120 yards away) up the street who had a small cylinder explode. He kept it outside the house so there was no mayor damage other than holes in the wall by shrapnel and broken glass. But when it went off, I thought somebody had dropped a big pipe bomb in the front of our house.

As for Trump helping Venezuela? Nope, it is my firm position that the US has nothing to win by intervening down there. It is not like Venezuelans would be grateful, in fact I can bet you cash money that in less than three months they would be complaining about the Gringo Soldiers and the invasion they are under. And demand money and housing and free food and health care for life.

They need to either figure out heads need to start rolling off government bodies or simply starve to death or die at the hands of criminals.

TUSVILLE, Fla. —
A back-to-school backpack giveaway in Titusville was interrupted by gunfire Saturday.
Authorities said a man who was involved in a fistfight at Isaac Campbell Park left and came back with a gun.

The park wasethe site of the backpack giveaway involving dozens of kids. When the man began shooting, a bystander, who was licensed to carry a firearm, fired back, wounding the shooter.

Man who fired into park during backpack giveaway shot by bystander, officials say

I still remember when we were assured by the Opposition that there would be massacres of little children if we allowed Floridians to carry in public parks. As it turns out, it was a Floridian legally carrying a gun the one who stopped kids from getting hurt. And it was an event full of children, here is a long video of the event, but the shooting starts at 8:30.

At least the way it is being announced by media is improving, although Old School is still making the rounds:

I am truthfully amazed that Good Guy With A Gun made it as a headline.
