This Would Have Been a Comment

Miguel, formerly of Gun Free Zone, has posted a video over at his Substack. I recommend that you view it. I would have posted a comment, but posting comments over there is far too tedious. Here is what I wanted to say:

At that point, the dog is being used as a weapon in order to further what is now an armed robbery and aggravated battery. She clearly shows intent with the statements “Get him!” and “I will fucking kill you.”
Her, the dog, and her accomplice are all fair game for some freedom seeds.

Increase Equity Through Mediocrity

The proposal to eliminate anything that makes whites look good, or blacks look bad, is being carried forward by that communist Mamdani. His proposal is to eliminate gifted programs in the NYC school system due to the higher number of white and Asian students that gain entry through the exam. It’s racist to recognize that blacks are not as smart as whites, on average. This will increase equity through mediocrity. It doesn’t lift up the underachievers, it handicaps the talented.

I would suggest that this reminds me of a short story called “Harrison Bergeron” written by Kurt Vonnegut. This is how communism works- it cannot make those who have little talent or ambition into successes, so communism tears down the talented and successful to make everyone’s outcome the same.

That’s the essence of equity.

Getting Hotter

From a comment on yesterday’s post:

I just heard the audio from Chicago PD ordering officers to stand down and not assist the federal agents. Sure seems like Civil War 2 is kicking off, doesn’t it?

It sure looks like it. One thing seems certain, in the last few months, the left appears to have ramped up both violent rhetoric and actual violence.

In June, DHS noted that there were increasing examples of agents and their families being doxxed and threatened online.

In July, there were dozens of arrests made of individuals who either threatened or attempted to carry out violent acts against Federal Law Enforcement. Armed attacks in Alvaredo and McAllister Texas. The attack in Alvaredo was evidence of coordinated leftist attacks. Several people wearing black clothing where attackers drew ICE officers out of the facility by first setting off fireworks and spray painting “traitor” and “ICE pig” on cars and a guard post at the facility.

As officials engaged the group, someone standing in the nearby woods flashed a signal with a flashlight before shots were fired from the same direction.

A second assailant across the street mag dumped at the cops. An AR-style rifle and a flag emblazoned with the words, “resist fascism, fight oligarchy”, as well as flyers reading “Fight ICE terror with class war”, were found at the scene.

In August, a 36-year-old identified as Bratton Dean Wilkinson claimed he had a bomb detonator in his backpack at the Dallas ICE facility.

September saw the Charlie Kirk assassination, as well as shootings at the ICE office in Dallas. An ICE agent shot and killed an illegal immigrant who was trying to run him over.

This weekend, ICE agents were ambushed by at least 10 cars full of people, with at least one of them armed. An armed woman was shot.

The left is ramping up the violence in a way that displays coordination and control, as well as better tactics and logistics. They are getting all of their shit into one sock. It’s only a matter of time before the events begun by them begin drawing return fire.

Spicy times are a’comin.

No Peaceful Solution

Sometimes, there is just no peaceful way forward. Read this:

If you know and understand history, you know that the number of military coups that resulted in more democracy and freedom can be counted on the fingers of one foot.

People who think the military overthrow of civil government is democracy saved, simply because the election didnt go their way, cannot be reasoned with.

Civil War is inevitable.

EDITED TO ADD:

If you look closely at that “sniper” he is armed with a pepper ball gun.

This isn’t a military presence- it’s the police.

Also, the left didn’t care when it was the left using the military. I guess that it’s only fascism when the right uses them to enforce the law.

Vandalism and Violence

According to the left, no one will listen to their message unless they hurt people and damage their property, so its completely justified.

So i wonder if they will feel the same when someone uses the same tactic to counter protest.

We all know they wanted hate crime felonies for burning out on rainbow crosswalks and BLM painted slogans.

Pushing Back

When my son was young, he was small for his age. He came home from school one day, upset that while playing soccer, he accidentally kicked the ball through his own team’s goal. Because of this mistake, a 5th-grade kid had physically assaulted him. He told me that this kid had been hitting him and bullying him for the past several weeks, and was telling me that he no longer wanted to go to school. I called the school and was told: “Well, there are a lot of children out there for recess, so many that the teachers can’t watch everyone, all of the time.”

I told my son that the next time someone hit him, he should defend himself. He told me that he didn’t want to get in trouble. I responded by telling him to let me worry about that. I also pointed out to him that he had been playing Pop Warner football, and the kid who had hit him was no bigger than some of the other kids on his team.

A couple of days went by before he again came home from school, this time telling me that the kid had hit him, and he had done what I told him to and beat the snot out of the other kid. My son was upset, because he had a letter telling him that he was to be suspended for fighting.

I called the school and told them that I wanted a meeting immediately. I got one for the next day.

At this meeting, the answer that I got was that they had a “zero tolerance” policy for fighting, and the result of this was all kids who fight receive 3 days of out of school suspension. I pointed out that I had come to them just the previous week and was told they couldn’t watch everyone, so why now?

“Well, we saw the fight.” I told them that they have a legal duty to keep my child safe, and when they fail in that duty, even after being told that my child was being physically attacked, they were failing in that duty. To compound this by suspending my child when he defends himself from a physical attack is the height of irresponsible behavior.

I also told them, should this discipline stand, I would be back to the school the following day with an attorney, and we would see where that would take us. I had every intention of doing so- it wasn’t an idle threat.

The suspension was lifted, and the kid never touched my son again. The best part was that my son learned a couple of important lessons that day on how not to be pushed around by others.

You can’t let bullies, in this case a child and a lazy set of school staff, run roughshod over you. You exhaust your options for a peaceful solution, but once that has been seen to its completion, you have to go on to the next step. Unless you fight back, bullying behavior will always continue. The corollary to that was eloquently stated by Mike Tyson: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”

That’s the lesson for today. I’m sure each of you understands where that line of thought leads.
