Hello, 911? Tell the Cops to Bring Some Chalk

A family- husband, wife, small child- sitting on their back porch saw a shirtless man in their back yard. When they shouted a challenge, they had to flee inside after he attempted to enter the house. The wife managed to snap a picture:

Seminole County deputies are hoping that someone in the public will identify who this is. I only wonder why the homeowner didn’t mark him for future identification. “Hello police? A guy just broke into my house. Do I know who he is? No, but if you just search the area for the guy with the sucking chest wound, that will be your guy.”

Note that he is inside of the screened porch, and his is looking right at the person taking the photo. This guy entered an occupied home in full knowledge that the residents were there. He didn’t care that the people were home- meaning that there is a high probability that he is there to hurt the occupants. There are those who say that you have insurance, so there is nothing in your home worth someone’s life.

My family is in my home, and they are worth more to me than you. My most difficult decision at this point will be choosing between my ready weapons:

  • 3 inch 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 Buck
  • AR15
  • 9mm M&P

You break into my house, and you just signed your death warrant. The arriving cops will need a piece of chalk, a shop vac, and a mop.

Civil, too

This asshat in Orlando prevented a fire truck from responding to an emergency by doing donuts around the truck and filming it for social media clicks. It appears as though the entire incident was a manufactured false call so the driver could film the stunt.

He was finally caught. The press doesn’t understand the charges, but I can tell you that interference with an emergency crew is a felony and filing a false 911 report of a fire is a misdemeanor for the first offense, and a felony for subsequent ones. Reckless driving is also a misdemeanor. That’s where I would start.

However, if the fire crew was delayed in any way to any emergency due to this, the people injured should be permitted to sue this ass for damages.

Hosting

Quite a few people have been asking me in comments and by email for a list of the blogs that I host. I can’t do that unless the blog owners themselves are willing. Confidentiality is another service that I offer. I will let them do so themselves.

After all, word of mouth is the only thing I have for letting people know that I am willing to host.

Can’t Stop the Signal

Ever since moving to my own server, this blog’s visibility has skyrocketed. I am getting 4500 unique visitors a day- over 1.4 million hits in the last year. Big Country is even busier than I am, if my resource counters are any guide. I can’t see how many hits he gets, but his disk access and I/O usage is awesome.

The blogs that I am hosting are actually touching on 100% of available I/O and memory resources. We aren’t running short on disk space, it’s processing that is getting close to max. I may have to add some processing power. The seven blogs that are hosted here are surprisingly popular.

That’s the goal- free speech.

Three Decades

Let’s take a look at the sentences being handed out or sought for the J6 riots:

  • Joe Biggs of Daytona: 33 years
  • Enrique Tarrio, of Miami 33 years
  • Zachary Rehl 30 years
  • Ethan Nordean 27 years
  • Dominic Pezzola, 20 years
  • Elmer Stewart Rhodes, 18 years

If the government wants to argue, as they have here, that this is terrorism, then what about Antifa and BLM? Why aren’t THEY being charged with terrorism for their riots and attacks on Federal officials? Instead, actual sitting members of Congress are providing them with bail money and legal defense.

The biggest mistake that the J6 protesters made was in thinking that the same rules would apply to them as applied to the Antifa/BLM crowd. If they were serious, the J6 protesters should have brought weapons at the beginning. If they were serious, they would have known that their actions would result in the loss of their lives- either rotting for decades in a Supermax prison, or dead there in the Capitol. Knowing then what they know now, would they have not participated, or would they have gone armed?

This is a cautionary tale to others, and the biggest reason why many don’t take action now. You either go in expecting your life to end, or you wait for reinforcements.

Malicious Compliance

How do you get revenge on your boss when you are angry with a decision that he has made? In the military, we called in “verbatim compliance.” The idea is that you follow the order in the most ridiculous or boneheaded way possible, with the intent of making the order look stupid. That’s exactly what the tranny leftists are are trying to do to conservative lawmakers and Governor Desantis.

The rule is Florida administrative code 6A-1..0955, which reads in pertinent part:

Provisions for parents to specify the use of any deviation from their child’s legal name in school. School districts will develop a form to obtain parental consent along with any required documentation, as appropriate.

There are plenty of ways to do this. You can have “nickname” listed as a part of the student’s registration form. Remember that the rule says that you have to have a written policy. So a district can have as a part of the policy that common derivatives of a name, such as Richard being Rick, Rich, Richie, etc. are permitted. But that isn’t what the democrat school districts are doing. Instead, the policy of at least one school district is taking it to the most ridiculous extreme of malicious compliance:

Orange County has already begun sending permission forms home to parents. “As an example, if the student is named Robert, but likes to be called the nickname Rob, the form must be filled out authorizing teachers and other personnel to call Robert the nickname Rob,”

Public education is nothing more than taxpayer funded indoctrination of leftist causes upon our children.

Freedom

After reading stories about the abuse suffered at the hands of police that are detaining J6 defendants for trial, knowing how cops will abuse and torture prisoners, and how they are transferring them to Supermax prisons, I am not surprised at the J6 defendants that are simply skipping out on their trials and sentencing hearings:

The people who are doing this have realized that they have nothing left to lose. Their freedom, property, and likely their lives are forfeit at this point. The cops will eventually find them, and if they aren’t killed during the arrest, they will spend the rest of their lives in prison, or at least the parts of it that matter. With nothing left to lose, it’s only a matter of time before someone in this position decides to give the left the insurrection that they are already accused of perpetrating.

The story

I heard screams coming from the other end of the emergency room. I went to investigate. In all, there were three nurses and a paramedic who walked into the patient’s room. The patient in that room was the source of the screaming, and he was a prisoner who was shackled to the bed by cuffs on all four limbs: his hands were cuffed to the bed, his feet were cuffed together, and a fifth cuff attached his left ankle to the bed. He was naked, except for the suicide vest that the cop had put on him. The smock looked like this:

The cop that was in the room with him was pulling on the prisoner/patient’s wrist so hard that he had pulled him into a sitting position, and the cuff had cut into the patient’s arm and was causing bleeding. The cop looked dead at me and yelled, “He’s trying to escape! He’s wriggling his hands to get out of the cuffs!” The prisoner was yelling back, “No, they are just too tight! I’m just trying to get comfortable.”

The cop drew his Taser, pulled off the cartridge, and pressed it into the patient’s back to use in drive stun mode. All of the medical personnel in the room cried out for him to stop.

We all filed written complaints. The cop outweighed the guy by at least 100 pounds, he was handcuffed, and wasn’t going anywhere. When they came to do the investigation, we were called together and told:

I am recording this conversation so that there is a record of it. You people here don’t know this guy. We do. He isn’t a nice guy. You don’t know police procedures, and you don’t know what happened. The prisoner was trying to escape. I spoke with the officer, and he says that he never drew his taser. You all must have misunderstood what you saw.”

I walked away at that point. Should it matter whether or not the prisoner was a nice guy? Doesn’t he have rights? Including the right to not be tortured? Mean guy or not, isn’t he presumed innocent?

If the officer really felt that force was needed to prevent an escape, then why did he lie and say that he didn’t use his Taser? Why not own it? If the cop had to lie, that tells me that he was wrong and he knows it. The only guys that I saw not being nice in this incident were the cops.

Since he lied, I will never trust that cop’s word again. Since his fellow officers lied to cover his ass, I will never trust another cop from that agency again. One lies, and the others swear to it.

I watched a police officer torture a prisoner who was in his custody, then I watched him lie about it. With my own two eyes. I know what I saw, and I know what my fellow nurses saw.

and it was disgraceful.

Oh, and I looked the guy up. He has a clean record- not even a traffic ticket in his past. His drug and alcohol screens were negative. Sounds to me like the guy pissed off a cop, and the cop decided to give him a bit of “stick time.” The charges in this case? I can’t mention them without giving away details, but he was ridiculously overcharged. He wound up pleading out to a misdemeanor and got time served. I have seen people try to escape, and I have seen people resisting. This was neither. Wriggling your hand while all 4 of your limbs are cuffed is not an escape attempt, and certainly doesn’t justify being hit with a Taser.
