I will confess there is a bit of schadenfreude.

Time to wake up.

Oakland County Sheriff’s detectives are seeking a first-degree murder charge against a Pontiac man following the death of a homeless man he allegedly beat to unconsciousness.

Rashaan Denee Redmond, 37, is currently held without bond in the Oakland County Jail, charged with assault with intent to murder for the Aug. 21 assault on Blake Louis Sanders, 36. The enhanced charge is being sought after Sanders died Wednesday morning while in hospice care at a relative’s home.

It’s believed he never regained consciousness after the beating, the sheriff’s office said.
…
According to the sheriff’s office, surveillance video from the gas station shows Sanders was sitting in front of the building when a man, later identified as Redmond, pulled up in a gold/beige GMC Suburban with no license plate. Redmond offered the victim a dollar to put air in his tire and, as Sanders is hunched over by the right front tire, Redmond became agitated and sucker punched him in the head, knocking him to the ground. The brutal attack then continued for another minute or so.

As stated in an earlier news release, “Redmond kicked and stomped (Sanders) in the head and face a dozen times before walking away. He then can be seen in the video returning, slapping the unconscious man before spitting on him and tossing his belongings in the air. Redmond soon drives away from the station, leaving the man lying limp on the ground.”

Our biggest failure of training in a defensive mindset is to accept that this level of violence is common out there. Our civilized minds have a tough time understanding that for some, this behavior is acceptable and can and will be used upon us.

And we must understand that our immediate response to this violence must be deadly force.

The “moral superiority” of non-violence and “peaceful conflict resolution” flatlined alongside the victim.

Why am I forc’d, like Heaven, against my mind,
To make Examples of another Kind?
Must I at length the Sword of Justice draw?
Oh curst Effects of necessary Law!
How ill my Fear they by my Mercy scan,
Beware the Fury of a Patient Man.

I can’t remember when I stopped watching the Olympics, probably sometime in the 20th Century. This is not going to entice me to come back anyway.
I do understand them, they are trying to get income from other countries which will probably fail because American beers are considered weak piss in most of the world.

The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone!

My general playlist is composed of a heavy amount of Prog Rock, but the singing part is composed of a lot of female voices. No logic idea why, just I seem to enjoy a female singer more.

So, I will start this new series of posts with the songs from my favorite lady singers.

Old TV fans will recognize some parts of this song as it was played on Miami Vice’s episode titled “Bushido.”

Just gave it a glance, but I plan to delve into them deeper in the future. So far we have:

• Red Flag law.
• Universal Background checks.
• Owning, making, transfering, (etc_ bumpstocks and similar devices is a felony.
•  Illegal to buy “Assault weapons.”
• Illegal to buy, make, own magazines with more than 10 rounds.
• Gunowners insurance ($300,000) but no idea if criminals are supposed to carry it.
• Illegal to make semi-automatic rifles. That adds a new ball of wax to the ear canal.
• Gun Storage mandatory.
• 3 week waiting period on firearm purchases.
• Raises the legal age to purchase firearm to 25.

And there is more.

PS: Pro gun bills? So far crickets.
