Gun Free Zone

I stole the whole thing from Greg Ellifritz.

It’s not just the police who are being attacked by mobs, now the mobs are attacking firefighters and paramedics responding to a vehicle crash scene. How do you think that plays out long term?

In my mind, this violence has very little to do with police brutality. People are frustrated by the government’s general ineptitude. People are frustrated with the Covid lockdown. People know that we are looking at facing an economic depression in the near future. They are acting out of that frustration.

Cops and medics are just the public face of the government. The rioters will never meet the mayor or city council. They will interact with cops and firefighters. Guess who will face the brunt of the public’s pushback against the government?

What brought that post? This item of sheer idiocy.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — First responders were “pushed and kicked” Monday night while trying to save the life of a motorcyclist, officials say.

When Virginia Beach Fire and EMS employees arrived shortly before 9 p.m., “an unruly crowd gathered and rapidly grew in size and out of control, surrounding the scene…,” according to a Virginia Beach Fire Department report.

As firefighters tried to treat the man involved in the crash, several were “pushed and kicked” the report said. The victim ultimately died from his injuries on the way to the hospital, according to Virginia Beach Police.

According to the report, some people from the crash scene followed an ambulance to the hospital and began to “jump on, kick and hit multiple EMS vehicles causing damage.”

May it be a reflection of the disgust that people have against government as Greg says or people just being assholes because they can and do not care for the life or others, this clearly is a big augmentation on the attack on society. The denial of emergency medical services will lead to unnecessary deaths which for the most part will go unpunished. Unarmed/unescorted emergency medical personnel will simply refuse to risk life and limb for a patient in a “hot area” and they would be well within their rights.

Let’s hope this does not become a popular thing among protesting idiots. But just in case, make sure you can initially treat any injury and transport the victim (including yourself) to the nearest ER.

St. Louis lawyer, Mark McCloskey was interviewed on Tucker last night.

Did you catch that?

He said the magic words.

“There’s no police there, our private security wasn’t there… oh my god, we’re absolutely alone, there is nobody coming to protect us.”

That’s why he grabbed his rifle.

Nobody was coming when the mob smashed down his gate and marched onto his property.

Nobody is coming.  You are on your own.  Be prepared and act accordingly.

Friedman’s was the first surplus store I ever visited. I am trying to remember if it was December of 1982 or January 83 when I was a young foreign student with a less than basic command of the English language (Hold the snarky remarks, you a-holes! 😀 )

I was amazed that military stuff was freely for sale coming from a country that forbade civilian ownership of any kind of military stuff.  The thing I wanted the most was a navy coat, but it was an expensive item. I ended up buying a Vietnam-era army shirt of thick cotton and something else I don’t remember, maybe a pin.

I went back several times while living there and getting inexpensive stuff or just simply to kill time on a boring day. Not far from there is the laundromat I patronized (it is still there) because you could not get the machines at college without a 3 day waiting period.

Most of the stores of my times in 21st Av South are gone and that area of Nashville (Hillsboro)  has changed dramatically since I lived there, but it is nice to see some places still have withstood the trials of time.

It seems the Mayor of Seattle finally decided to grow a pair and sent the police to clear the #CHAZ area. I am watching live as I type this

They cleared a lot of space, including the abandoned precinct that was the deer’s head on the wall for the “peaceful protesters.”

The kick? It took 30 minutes to clear the area.

Why the hell did the Seattle government allowed lawlessness for such a long time? My take? They bet on CHAZ/CHOP being the Socialist Utopia it promised to be, but after all the crime and deaths, it just turned into the standard Socialists reality and and embarrassment.

This is probably not over, some pushback may be coming. It should be entertaining.

I always have to smile at people like this:

Harvard senior Claira Janover threatens to stab anyone who says “all lives matter.”

Will liberal colleges and universities ever teach students that speech ≠ violence?

I smile not at the smug face of the True Believer, but at the future face of sheer surprise when she finally tastes real pain and violence when she tries to act out the bullshit she spews on the wrong person. A dumb little idiot who got herself viral threatening people with grave bodily harm will find herself at the wrong end of the handcuffs, with a bleeding face and generalized bruises all over he body feeling a pain much worse than her collagen shots and nothing she can do about it.

And it is coming.

And it does not care if you are an “ally.”

Dear Alyssa: there is no saving intention that can help you. The game is to apply the same Alinsky Rules you apply to the other side (“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”) with the problem that it seems your side has a cemetery worth of skeletons in the closet which you guys apparently loved to have pictures taken.

Wait, you thought you’d be in control of the Revolution? How Roberspierre of you.
