Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

“Video of Florida police officers punching teen sparks outrage” (But only if you shade the facts)

“ZOMG! The poor young baby being abused!”

 

I love the way they blur the teen to “protect” him from… something or other. You can almost only see the cops raining punches and taser on him and he not relenting which should be the first hint something is not quite right with the slant of the story. Then I saw something it caught my attention: the size of the teen’s thigh. Holy crap, that does not go with a small gangly teen.
So, I looked for the unedited video and it was provided.

That is one big asshole. He is taller than the cops and easily outweighs each cop individually. He chose to resist, he lost.

I hope it is a lesson he learns.  But I doubt he will.

Carry Everywhere indeed.

A post from Divemedic about a carjacking at somebody’s driveway.

I won’t say I carry inside the house, but I went years ago with the schoolings of Cat Shannon* and there are guns about 3 feet from me anywhere inside the domicile, including long guns.

But if I go outside, I am carrying even if it is to mow the lawn.

I am usually dressed light while mowing and the little Remington 380 loaded with Critical Duty does not make much of a bounce while riding in the zero turn. And it is pretty accurate and reliable, so I do not feel too under gunned.


(*) Cat Shannon is the main character of the book and the movie The Dogs of War. In the flick, he has a gun pretty much hidden everywhere in his apartment including the fridge.  Unfortunately the Missus will not allow a firearm inside the Frigidaire.

Always play to their prejudices and they will never see you coming.

If he was not such a narrow-minded bigot, he could have posted something along MAGA people reading the “wrong” books and could have for an interesting argument about reading materials and how we choose what we read and how we interpret it.

But he went with the preconceived ideas that those not “thinking” like him must be ignorant creatures who do not know how to operate a book, less have use for them or the necessary furniture to hold them.

And I want them to keep thinking like that. I want them underestimating the shit out their opponents.

Till reality smacks them hard and permanently.
