Chicago is bleeding to death.

Chicago has begun installing “Bleeding Control Kits” across the city under the new Safe Chicago program amid an increase in gun violence.

The city will install 426 Bleeding Control Kits in 269 Chicago buildings, including City Hall and Chicago Public Library locations. Each kit can treat up to eight victims.

Every kit comes equipped with a tourniquet, gauze, shears, gloves, and an instruction manual on how to best use it in instances of “life threatening bleeding emergencies” that can result from falls, penetrating injuries (such as stabbings), gunshot wounds, and more.

I am not going to badmouth the placement of life-saving equipment across the city. But sincerely, it is just a talisman unless some basic training is offered and people want to take it.  We can only hope that when needed, somebody knows how to use it and save a life.

Do we need to go over the fact that Chicago is so out of control, politicians actually had to implement this program? It has failed to deal with the criminal element and keeps choosing the political treatment rather than an actual solution.

And I hope you have your own Bleeding Control packs by now. You can always start small and inexpensive, but do have something with you. The training is up to you.

Pentagon: RFID Tracking of Guns is Bad. (We could have told you that years ago.)

The irony is so thick.

Determined to keep track of their guns, some U.S. military units have turned to a technology that could let enemies detect troops on the battlefield, The Associated Press has found.

The rollout on Army and Air Force bases continues even though the Department of Defense itself describes putting the technology in firearms as a “significant” security risk.

The Marines have rejected radio frequency identification technology in weapons for that very reason, and the Navy said this week that it was halting its own dalliance.

I covered this idiocy back in 2011 when Chiappa Firearms tried to push the idea of planting RFID chips in their guns for production tracking and then selling it as as “personal gun security for shooters.” I have no idea if they continued with the tagging, but you can bet your ass I own no Chiappa firearms at all and I am sure more than one gun owner has made the same decision.

Remember: If it emits a signal, it can be detected and traced no matter what. Technology always catches up with the need.

At least we now have official government confirmation we were right all along.

The Unsurprisingly Case of Gideon’s Army.

It all started with this photo in the I saw in the local paper last week of one Cleveland Shaw.

The article mentioned he worked for a Nashville anti-violence, anti-gang group called Gideon’s Army. The screen capture from that generated this video came about the investigation of a shooting where a three year old girl and a member of Gideon’s Army ended up shot to death. One of the local TV stations started to investigate and things got weird: The member of the alleged Anti Violence group, hired as “Violence Interrupter” (WTH is that?) apparently was a notorious gang member and he was being paid by Gideon’s Army who get their funding from private donations and taxpayers money.

Gideon’s group not only has rejected any blame or shown contrition, but it has commemorated Cleveland Shaw’s life. But it is not surprising since the group’s initial claim of being anti violence and contracted by the government to assist police in making PR inroads in certain areas of Nashville plagued by violence and help by de-escalating situations have actually done none of the such, but they kept collection monies and even recently convinced the Metro Council to fork over a million bucks.

NewsChannel5.com found social media posts by the group’s leaders that are downright the opposite of what they were contracted to do and in some cases downright hostile and racist.

Those posts include descriptions of white people as being a “pestilence” accidentally unleashed on the world by an ancient scientist, suggestions that police should be made to fear going into Black neighborhoods, even descriptions of Meharry Medical College’s highly respected president, Dr. James Hildreth, as a “house n****r.”

Gideon’s Army founder Rasheedat Fetuga brushed aside such questions, insisting those comments by her team do not represent their real focus.

But wait, there is more:

“I’m talking about the Caucasian race, man. You know what I mean?” Godbody said in a video posted last year. “Ever since they’ve been on this motherf**king planet, they have caused chaos, confusion, destruction.” … “When have any people on the Earth ever lived in peace with white people? I’ll wait. Yeah, I thought so. Never. Never. You cannot live in peace with them.”

And another:

Then, there’s Chef Mic True, Gideon’s Army’s community director, a position that sometimes puts him on the streets with the area’s children.

“Y’all want to know what real kings, warriors and Gods do? Huh? They wage war on their enemies. We’ve been motherf**king passive too long,” True said in one Facebook video.

“Start teaching your children how to shoot. Start equipping your children with weapons. Teach them how to stick somebody with a knife.”

And here comes the most beautiful part of this whole chapter, at least in my biased views. Guess who is one of the groups funding this most excellent “Violence Interrupter”  organization?

Michael Bloomberg and Moms Demand.

As I said in the title of this post, it is unsurprising that a local government went stupid enough to keep giving monies to a group with links to violent gangs and not really delivering what they signed to do. And I am not surprised Bloomberg’s monies also landing with this collection of racists since they do not achieve their political goals with peace but by the death of the innocent so they can wave the bloody shirts in support for the restriction of our rights.

Is that some of the sweet Moms Demand money?

I recommend you click on the links above and read the full articles as they are full with more information and more importantly, the attitude of the Gideon’s Army leaders who can be basically described as “We don’t give a *** what you think or care about what happened.”

 

We have seen this movie before, we know how it ends.

Bread line in Melbourne, Australia.

Translation: #Melbourne from heaven to hell on earth the step is short and at the pace of communism. Here is the line of the new poor for bread …

Remember when our Antis bleated non-stop how should we be more like Australia? This is not probably what they expected, but surely what they would have achieved.

Under the weather. Light posting

I woke up not feeling well. Some sort of stomach distress and general semi-weakness more like a generalized bodily “Blah.” No fever, lungs clear and happy, just the feeling I may have to rush to the little shooter’s room on a very short notice.

Be nice, play amongst yourselves and don’t forget to pick up the toys before leaving.

 

And before I leave, a meme with a profound message:

Happy Saint Michael’s

Saint Michael is recognized in history as leading the first Airborne incursion against a fixed position, kicking demonic asses and sending them to Hell. At least that is what I was informed by a serious Airborne instructor from Ft Bragg decades ago, so St Michael is the Patron Saint of the Airborne. He is also the Patron Saint of cops and firefighters.

And , of course, all of us who have Michael and its many variation as name, are celebrating our day. Go forth and enjoy!
