As I have reported from time to time here, I regularly carry a gun at the area theme parks, including Disney, Universal, and Sea World. There are many people who claim that I am being paranoid, and that no crime happens at these places. They are wrong, and I will remind you of the posts I made on this subject in:
February 2013 again in January 2011 and again in September of 2007.

The theme parks are a target rich environment for every type of criminal from property criminals like pickpockets, burglars, and shoplifters to violent criminals like armed robbers, pedophiles, rapists, and murderers.

 Pedophile takes pictures of young boy in bathroom at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Don’t assume that the theme parks are any safer than anywhere else. Even though there are security officers and cameras everywhere, there  is still quite a bit of crime in the parks, and you better believe that the criminals know how to avoid them. Be aware, be armed, be careful.

Orlando is considering changing the ordinance that mandates bars stop serving alcohol at 2am. All the local press is talking about is that the city is planning to extend the bar hours to 3 am for those over 21 years old. for those under 21, the hours will be cut, with those patrons being forced to leave at 10pm.

That isn’t the scary part. You see, the devil is in the details. Under the new ordinance, the establishments will have to scan a driver’s license before a patron can enter the bar. The chief of the Orlando Police Department has already said that he will use the records of who was in which bar and when to track people. He claims that this will aid the police in solving crimes.

 Stuart says police want the change.  “They want it to create a safer
environment.  They want to quit having to bring in patrols from outside
the area.”

This police state shit makes me want to vomit.

My brother thought it was cute and funny that his 12 year old son went into a very dangerous neighborhood and had his picture taken while standing in the projects. He thought it was so funny, that he even posted the picture of him on Facebook. In the three weeks preceeding this, 22 shootings were reported in that neighborhood.

A 15 year old kid has been charged with two counts of murder in connection with those shootings, along with armed burglary. The child’s father was arrested on charges of negligence and illegally allowing his young son access to a firearm used in a death. Three other people, aged 17, 20, and 20 have also been charged in the two murders.

My brother told me that I was being racist by telling him to stay out of that neighborhood. After over two decades of seeing what life is like as a street paramedic, I know how that area is, and I am not willing to risk the lives of my kids to show the world how “fair” and “unbiased” I can be.

A pizza delivery driver is robbed by a man with a knife. The driver produced a handgun and shot him dead. The critter in question had quite the criminal record: multiple felonies for armed robbery, accessory to first degree murder, kidnapping, and other charges. There are those who would argue that the driver should have just handed over the cash, and hoped that the criminal decided not to kill him.

This is what it means to have a “Stand Your Ground” law.

Congratulations, Mr. Park. You get to enjoy the rest of your life.

Now that employers are required to insure you, they are going to make sure that they control you. Fish Medical center is now refusing to hire anyone that is a user of tobacco, citing the increased costs smokers present to insurers.
How long before the “studies” that have been ordered by the Obama administration show that gun ownership increases costs? We can control people in every way: Overweight? SCUBA diver?

One thing you won’t see: Women present greater costs because of maternity coverage. Can we refuse to hire women? Of course not.
Gay men are at higher risk of contracting AIDS, and present higher costs. Can I refuse to hire them?

In a world where the government considers it to be discrimination for an employer to refuse to hire a high school dropout, or a person with a criminal record, this smells like another lair of control to me.

A few days ago, I posted about the possibility that many American blacks have decided to declare a race war against whites in this country. Here is more evidence of that:

On August 6, three black 15 year old males savagely beat a 13 year old white kid on a school bus. It is caught on video.

Last March, two black 16 year old males pour gasoline on a 13 year old and set him on fire, while yelling “This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy.”

A large crowd of blacks, up to 20 of them, beat a man into critical condition last April. They used brass knuckles, pipes, and even paint cans as weapons. One of the assailants even said “Justice for Trayvon” during the attack.

In June, a black mob of 20 attacked a mother and her family on a picnic in Niagra Falls. They
hurled racial slurs and told them they did not like their “Puerto Rican
(expletive) music.”

In July, a dozen black teens attacked a 34 year old white man in Milwaukee. One of the attackers said it was “for Trayvon Martin.” Meanwhile, in Washington, DC, three black men attacked a white man and stole his iPhone and wallet after telling him that, “This is for Trayvon Martin.” Just down the street in Baltimore, a white woman was robbed by a black mob, who then chased down and severely beat a white man, leaving him with a broken jaw.

EDITED TO ADD: Five black kids attack an elderly white man.

I could go on and on, but you get the idea. This being a prepper site, I want to leave all of you with some advice on prepping for this:
~ Don’t travel on foot in areas of town where minorities congregate.
~ Keep your head on a swivel. If it looks hinky, get out of there.
~ Staying in a crowded area may not help you, as the crowd itself may be targeting you.
~ Be armed at all times.
~ Have an escape plan.
~ Putting a video recorder in your car wouldn’t be a bad idea.
