Gun Free Zone

I saw this in Facebook and had to chuckle:

And I am happy to say I was not alone on the infantile humor. We Men, we childish men.

Anyway, check out the video. It is not silly at all, I am. I have three DVDs from PDN and they are darn good.

It was bound to happen:

A Washington man who fired his shotgun into the air to scare away alleged car prowlers pleaded not guilty on Wednesday, citing Vice President Joe Biden’s questionable gun advice as the reason he took that specific action.

And now you are gonna pay for being stupid enough to follow Stupid’s recommendation.

If you are feeling sick, you go to a doctor not a tarot reader.

If your car is not working well, you take it to a mechanic, not to a juggler.

If your faucet is leaking, you call a plumber, not a chimney sweeper.

If you need advice on the use of weapons for self-defense, why would anybody in his/her right mind would pay attention to what an anti-gun moron would say?

Oy!

“And I know I’m not everybody, I’m just one person. I’m a human being. And for the gift that God has given me, and from whatever I mean, I decided today that until the Stand Your Ground law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again. As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world.”

via Stevie Wonder Says He Now Refuses to Perform in “Stand Your Ground” States.

From the same post we have the following states that Stevie won’t be performing anymore if he is true to what he said:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. (North Carolina is also a SYG State. Thnx Ron!)

A quick check online shows that he is booked solid till next march playing in Motown: The Musical in NY. So it is not like he is gonna be doing any great sacrifice in the near future.

Again: The effect of the ‪#‎NRA‬’s “Stand Your Ground” law…. except the letter that the jurors sent does not mention anything like that and is just a request to remain private after the threats they have been receiving by those who agree with CSGV:

We, the undersigned jurors, understand there is a great deal of interest in this case. But we ask you to remember that we are not public officials and we did not invite this type of attention into our lives. We also wish to point out that the opinions of Juror B-37, expressed on the Anderson Cooper show were her own, and not in any way representative of the jurors listed below.

Serving on this jury has been a highly emotional and physically draining experience for each of us. The death of a teenager weighed heavily on our hearts but in the end we did what the law required us to do.

We appeal to the highest standards of your profession and ask the media to respect our privacy and give us time to process what we have been through.

They did their duty even though they knew the verdict they rendered was not going to be popular. But doing the right thing is often not popular.

But the Stand Your Ground Law must be destroyed at all costs even when it had nothing to do with this case.

They say truth is the first casualty of war. Some are picking the wrong side of the war we don’t want but we won’t be afraid to face.

… becomes the truth.

“Stand your Ground killed Trayvon Martin!” Apparently that is pretty much the summary of the crap we are hearing bounced around the waves and the interwebs. I will accept the idea there is a substantial amount of uninformed idiots that hearing the lie adopted as gospel, but what I cannot accept is that those held to a higher standard such as the Media and the Government are willing propagandists of the lie.

Governments can be shaken into compliance by a couple of boxes. Media must remember that destructive propaganda and malice are not protected by the First Amendment.

You reap what you sow and to think you are immune or above the fracas that you created is dangerous. No, those magic seeds that the shadowy man sold you, will not produce Unicorns.

PS: It is also very stupid to play with fire when you are the kindling.

Save this video and send it to every idiot who still does not get it.

Massad Ayoob Discusses ‘Stand Your Ground’ Laws – YouTube.

Still a lot of stupid bouncing the webs and other means of communication. But what really amazes me is how easily is for some people who know better to purposely lie about the case.

Don’t mind average idiot that takes his daily ingestion of information from the usual sources: they are what they are and at this moment in time there nothing much we can do about it till the tide recedes. I am talking about the purveyors of information that have the self-imposed responsibility to deliver the truth to their viewers, represented and the general public. Instead they invested themselves in a set narrative loaded with political quackery and falsehoods to the point that they are not only not correcting their mistakes, but upping the ante.

As before, the hate for Stand Your Ground laws was the initial precursor for the media hootenanny we saw with the Martin/Zimmerman. It forced the politicians to create a panel that examined the law and its applications, took input from the regular folks and at the end it stayed pretty much the same even though Stand Your Ground was not applicable in the Martin/Zimmerman case. Now that the trial is over, SYG is once more resuscitated and becomes the medieval cat that is accused of consorting with the devil and must be exterminated. More on this later.

But now I am starting to hear the initial volleys of attack against another part of the self-defense laws: Reasonable Fear of Death or Grave Bodily Harm. Their “reasoning” is that fear alone is not good enough and that it may lead to costly mistakes and eventually deaths such as with what happened to Trayvon Martin. Yes, I am not kidding you, that is their complaint and the reason they want it expunged from the books.

Now back to the cat consorting with the devil: It does not take a genius to understand that the elimination of both SYG and Reasonable Fear will make a destructive dent on the peaceful of the citizens of Florida. That the law would force us to turn our backs to immediate danger and that we must be 100% sure that we are being attacked before defending ourselves is so asinine, it begs the total mental examination of those demanding it. The only way to be 100% sure that we are being attacked is…being attacked, to give the aggressor a sporting chance to make us bleed. And is in that given chance you happened to be irreparably injured or die, well crap, at least you did not break the law! Your family should be happy that you went to your grave that way.

Same after Sandy Hook, we are facing the initial wave of emotional BS. People that invested themselves too much on a promise that could not be delivered, are ticked about it and those who made the promise are doing their best to lay blame everywhere else but their shoulders. For now, we just have to strap ourselves against the pilings and let it ride while we deliver properly placed logical punches and assorted loads of derision to the pundits.

After that, it will be our time to attack. Floridians must then reinforce our Self-Defense laws, ask for an investigation into prosecutor misconduct and get legislation passed that punish prosecutors for not seeking justice but for trying to score convictions over the innocence of defendants.
