NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Nashville Police Department officers said one man is dead Sunday morning after a road rage shooting this weekend.

Officers responded at 9:50 a.m. Saturday and found Emilio Lopez-Lajuj, unresponsive and sitting in the driver’s seat of his Toyota Camry with a gunshot wound to his upper left leg in the 900 block of Richards Road. His car was running and still in drive, police said. Lopez-Lajuj died at the scene.

MNPD homicide unit detectives reviewed surveillance video, which showed that Lopez-Lajuj was slowly driving west on Richards Road when a newer model black Dodge Charger with tinted windows and black wheels drove around the Camry.

Police said Lopez-Lajuj then pulled his car up to the Dodge Charger and bumped the Charger’s driver’s side rear quarter panel. Lopez-Lajuj and the other driver got out of their vehicles and appeared to briefly argue prior to the shooting. The suspect drove off toward Interstate 24 and Haywood Lane.

I have the feeling that Mr. Lopez felt slighted the driver of the Dodge passed him and decided to play bumper cars earning him first place in the Stupid Games competition.

We are in “special” times. Tempers are flaring easily and Gun Control has failed miserably (as we figured long ago) from keeping guns in the hands of the criminal and/or crazy element. Ego is the one thing we cannot afford to flaunt, specially our kind that does the 24/7 Carry Culture. Bruised feelings heal quick, rape in prison takes weeks unless you catch some transmittable disease and death is forever.

This just popped in my FB feed.

The magnificent title track.

And the equally superb companion:

When I croak and you suckers are still alive and want to render me a memorial that does not involve cuss words, play Epitaph while sipping a shot (or two) of Gentleman Jack.

ROME—@SpeakerPelosi reportedly heckled at St Patrick’s Catholic American Parish, in Rome, causing her to abruptly leave the Mass she was attending.

She was not attending like you and me would. She was not there like any other parishioner but was invited by somebody in the parish to participate in the ritual doing the second reading of the scriptures.

Who in the effing parish thought it would be right to invite (and this accept) a fully committed abortionist to be active part of the Mass?  I joke around about Catholics love a sinner, but never we allow an active and unrepentant sinner to be the example to be admired or follow. Or at least that was the way things were done back when we did not have a fucking communist wearing the Papal vestments.

They are usually nonchalant with a fierce “I don’t give a gnocchi” attitude. But suddenly they are hanging tyrants by the ankles and pissing on their corpses.

But since everything will be owned by the Government, whatever they issue to the ruling class will be government-issued and believe me, they wont be wearing cheap mass produced crap or live in Section 8 Housing.

And I can almost see Ladd beating the monkey hard at the prospect of having his wish come true. Then again he can always go the way of Ceausescu and I cannot think of anybody more deserving of it.

Stole the whole thing from Aesop:

Don’t post the details. Don’t even answer “yes” or “no” in comments. It will never see the light of day here. I don’t want to know, and Big Brother doesn’t need the intel. Capice?
Weapon? Basic load? Body armor (for any value between T-shirt and Level IV hardplates, with helmet. And gas mask.)? Sustainment supplies? For up to 72 hours? Eye and ear pro? At any point beyond “P” in your comms PACE plans? Boots (broken in!)? Clothes appropriate for the weather, including the next few days? Car Keys (with a full tank, and ready to rock!)? Go-To-War Jump Bag?

What if your neighbor called you?

A relative?

A relative some distance away?

Spouse or kids, not at the homestead?

What about with one minute’s notice?

Don’t lie to me, and don’t even try to b.s. yourself. How would you fare, with yourself as the grader for this exercise, supervised by the sweep second hand of your watch?

Could you, really and truly, hit the Batpole, and come out at the bottom ready to face the forces of evil?

Ponder the above. Hard.

The pre-Revolutionary militia standard was ready to mount or march, 60 seconds, with musket, powder and shot, water, one day’s ration, bayonet, and hatchet. In 60 seconds, at your front door, or beside your saddle mount.

It’s still a damned good standard.

And BTW, while you’re thinking: Just exactly how long do you think you have to get this together, without looking like a soup sandwich, before this isn’t a thought exercise, or just a drill?

As a rule, when TSHTF, it doesn’t make a reservation.
