Don’t ask me about traditional Martial Arts. Other than watching the Green Hornet as a kid and then Kung Fu as teen, I have no idea. So, if the kata shown here is feasible or not should be answered by people that know.

But did you really had to do the demonstration with a real frigging gun?

Husband: “There was only one way to stop him,” said Roger. “I didn’t shoot to kill, which I could have. I lowered the gun and I shot him.”

Wife: “I wish I would have taken that gun away from my husband, and I would have killed him,” she said. “I think we had every right to defend our house. Doesn’t everybody?”

And now we know who’s got the testosterone flowing in that household.

I’ve been following several blogs where the theme is Mall Ninja Instructors doing all kinds of stupid stuff up to an including shooting at targets nearby a student downrange. But just to show we don’t have the monopoly on sheer imbecility, this “instructor” (please pronounce with Spanish accent) goes balls to the walls with different platforms against a moron that lets him.

Apparently Miami is a hot spot for illegally providing foreign gangs with weapons and explosives bought at our local gun shops. yep! Kid you not.

According to our local CBS station and the local ATF agents, any Jose Shmoe can acquire ” guns, explosives and other weapons. he weapons and explosives are shipped to gangs, drug cartels and other criminal groups from Central and South America to Europe and the Middle East………..But other guns, explosives, grenades, bomb materials and even parts for I-E-D’s (improvised explosive devices) get through and get shipped overseas.”

Seriously? Pray do tell us which local gun store had a sale of plastic explosives, detonators and assorted IED parts. While I do not deny that gun smuggling happens is South Florida, portraying local gun stores as the equivalent of the Taliban’s Home Depot is somewhat disingenuous… OK, it is unmitigated bullshit. Then again I am not surprised what comes out when the Main Stream Media and the ATF get together.

One user of Musical Theatre News blogspot said: “It seems there was a problem with a gun.”

No, there was no problem with the gun. More than likely the gun did not load itself, aimed at the actor or pulled the trigger.  Some human screwed up inside that chain and an actor may have to play Captain Hook in the future.

This is one of those things which, no matter how much you want to remain impassive you end up breaking in laughter.

Excuse me while I wipe the spittle off my screen.

How is it that in the era of the Information Superhighway, 24 hour news cycle and other assorted informational providers, we have people that have not gotten the idea that buying a car through Craiglist and the prospective buyer/seller requests to meet at a dark & remote location at the weird hours of the day is a huge neon sign in Sensurround screaming DON’T FRIGGING DO IT!

Of course, if you had previous negative experiences and still don’t get it, there is nothing much we can do for you other than ask you where do you want the flowers sent.

According to Mondejar, he and his girlfriend met the seller of the used vehicle in the parking lot, but the seller ended up robbing them. “Everything was good, and then held me and my girlfriend at gunpoint,” said Mondejar. “I’ve been robbed before, but nothing like this.
