Surveillance State

Sure, plate readers and cameras solved THIS crime. Still, how many millions of cars drove by and were catalogued to catch this one criminal, and what is all of that trace data being used for?

Using security camera footage from the apartment and nearby businesses, the detective determined Sterns’s Lincoln left the Venetian Bay Village apartments on Feb. 26 at 7:40 a.m. and then returned around 10:14 a.m.

Sterns’ vehicle left the apartment complex again at 11:03 a.m. and returned 53 minutes later, records show.

The Lincoln left the apartment a third time around 12:44 p.m. and travelled east along U.S. 192 towards St. Cloud where it was photographed by traffic cameras…

At 1:16 p.m., a security camera at a charter school captured video of a car with a similar color, style and size driving southbound on Old Hickory Tree Road.

The same vehicle was recorded heading northbound on Old Hickory Tree Road around 2:11 p.m., records show, before returning to the apartment at 2:43 p.m.

Tracked by at least half a dozen cameras and several plate readers. How much data do they have on YOU?

Poor Tactics

Your property is stolen, including a credit card. Your bank calls to tell you that the stolen credit card was just used at a fast food restaurant right down the street. You and a couple of friends head down the street to confront the thieves.

I would argue that, should this happen, you should go down there expecting an armed confrontation. These people didn’t, and the accused thieves opened fire on the would-be detectives.

Go down there to confront them, while your friends who are heavily armed standby with heavy weapons. If the thieves shoot, you overwhelm them with a large volume of return fire (situation permitting, of course).

Before you argue about whether or not you will be prosecuted, remember that if you are really worried about that, you wouldn’t choose to head up there to confront the thieves in the first place. if you DO choose to confront them, don’t hold back.

Expect to see more evidence that people are sick of the cops simply taking a report and then doing nothing. We might as well do away with most police and simply replace them with an online reporting form.

I Noticed

I noticed that WKMG always mentions the race of accused criminals when the criminal is white.

They never do so when the criminal is black, even when that black criminal is an armed robber, or when he is a child molester who murdered a 13 year old girl while he was raping her. Or when a pair of Canadians and their mudshark girlfriend are shooting at a crime victim, but more on that in another post.

Country Hospital

No lie. Just had a patient who tripped over a chicken, broke her arm, and then had to tell her sons that the alligator hunting trip next month was canceled because she can’t haul a gator into the boat one handed.

The nurse next to me then says “Why can’t you just hold the light and let the boys land the gator?”

Violence Ramping Up

It’s an election year. First, some background:

Brandon Fellows was convicted of one felony count of obstructing an official proceeding for his actions at the January 6 protest, and was sentenced to 36 months in prison.

Federal prosecutors sought a top-of-the-guidelines sentence o 37 months in prison – describing him as a “cheerleader” for violent rioters and saying he could be expected to be back at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2025, if his preferred candidate again doesn’t win.

You bet your ass, if the left cheats another election, many people will be back to protest the results- and next time, you can expect them to be armed. They won’t repeat the mistakes of 2021.

Anyway, Fellows also got an additional 5 months for contempt of court for calling the proceedings a kangaroo court being run by a bunch of Nazis. Since the Feds had held him in pretrial confinement for 32 months before his conviction, he was out less than a year later.

“You have repeatedly made a mockery of these proceedings,” McFadden said, noting Fellows had shown the “height of contempt” for all three branches of government and had “flagrantly lied” on the stand at trial. McFadden also pushed back against Fellows’ belief that he was the victim of a “grand conspiracy” against him.

It turns out that he was right, since SCOTUS declared in June that using the obstruction of an official proceeding statute in the case of the J6 defendants was unconstitutional. Fellows is now appealing the conviction, and is likely going to get it tossed out. Until then, he remains a convicted felon. As if “felon” really means anything nowadays, since we are letting rapists, armed robbers, and other violent criminals walk, but using felony charges for political reasons, but I digress.

This guy acted more like a prisoner in a POW camp than he does a criminal. He has my respect. From the Code of Conduct:

If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

I myself am holding all three branches of the Federal government in contempt. Our national government is truly evil- we know that they have experimented with biological warfare by using them against our fellow citizens without their knowledge. We know that they care only for power and wealth. Anyhow-

So that’s the background. Now to the point of today’s story. Fellows was eating dinner in a DC restaurant with journalist Connie Clifford. (Note that the report calls her “right-wing journalist Connie Clifford” but Newsweek doesn’t ever refer to CNN reporters as “left-wing journalist Chris Matthews.”) Fellows was wearing a MAGA cap and talking about the progress of his case. A nearby commie couple was annoyed and a verbal argument began, with Clifford catching the argument on camera. The couple told him he was “not welcome with your Trump bullshit.”

The female of the couple slapped Fellows in the face, and Fellows pushed her away. At that point, the woman’s companion began punching Fellows in the face.

The violence is ramping up again. They want us dead- they want you dead. Prepare for what is to come. Things are going to get much, much worse. They are going to try and kill or enslave you. Be ready for that.
