Gun Free Zone

Appearing in Drudge is the following headline from the Sun Sentinel: Life in prison for stealing $4 package of socks. It instantly evokes the mishaps of Jean Valjean and his horrible sentence of 19 year for a loaf of bread, the injustice of a out of control justice system and society’s inability to deal with crime. Of course, after reading the article one must ponder if “reporters” Barbara Hijek and Gary Taylor spent the weekend watching a marathon of Twilight and Glee because the culprit, one Dean Rockmore was found guilty of not stealing $4 worth of goods but brandishing a gun to the Security Officer trying to stop him. Rockmore is a repeat offender with goodies in his record like Arson, Aggravated Assault on a Firefighter/Paramedic, trafficking stolen merchandise, violently resisting arrest with violence & forgery. His incarceration history goes back all the way to 1981so we are not talking about an innocent man driven by circumstances, Bush and the War in Iraq.

The jury seemed to reason along the same lines when they took under an hour to send Mr. Rockmore to spend a vacation in the custody of the State of Florida and Circuit Judge Margaret Hudson decided to make such vacation permanent.

Now why Barbara Hijek and Gary Taylor went with the stupid title? My guess they were fishing for a mix of good old heart tugging and righteous indignation out of the readers.  In the comment sections one reader simply stated: “What a douchebag of a newspaper.”

One must agree.

Via the NRA we find out that during the NRA Convention, crime in the area was down 45% compared to the same week the year before. According to the CharlotteObserver.com, not only the convention was the biggest in Charlotte’s history, the only issue was traffic congestion on Friday. There were no reports of people suffering from Road Rage and shooting their guns wildly while in traffic.

It was not suppose to happen that way damn it! Them NRA Redneck were suppose to be wild, host a KKK party, burn some crosses and shoot innocent people at random!

Oh well! 😉

Hat Tip to Sebastian

So Mexican President Calderon comes to Congress and gets standing ovations from the congresscritters when he lashes against Arizona and blames all the ills of Mexico’s Drug Wars on the sunset of the Assault Weapon’s Ban.

If you invite a guest to your house and he decides to crap on your living room floor and make a pass at your wife, unless you are some sort of amoral creep, you don’t cheer him or remain silent (like the GOP congress-idiots did) you grab them by the neck and toss him out while planting such  firm kick in his buttocks that he leaves with your shoe.

That the United States was allowed to be insulted in the People’s House is just amazing. It is just embarrassing that nobody had the balls to tell Calderon to shut the fuck up and to take a hike.

Remember November.

Hat Tip to John Lott.

This is one of those “I want one!” things. NAA revolver topped with Laserlyte Laser for .22 LR or .22 Mag and Laserlyte Pistol Bayonet. I have to admit my NAA has been neglected and needs some TLC.

I am taking a little break after spending a better part of my waking hours today filling 17 pages to apply for a Florida’s Slot Machine Individual Occupational License and Professional or Business Employee Supplemental Information. If you want to work in any casino in Florida in any capacity (may it be as owner,  a blackjack dealer or sweeping the sidewalks) you must get this license. The amount of information required by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation is so intrusive it is ticking me off royally but I got to think that about half the people in our current administration in DC wouldn’t be able to apply for this license at all. Florida demands info for proof of citizenship as in a Birth Certificate to IRS records to having never been in an police investigation, fraud, dishonorable discharge, any civil, criminal or investigative procedure, Grand Jury investigations, pardons, local or state code violations, etc.

Geez…. To think I am more prepared to be Czar or Secretary of something than the Hope & Change Gang.
