No Moral Compass, No Soul

James Cameron is so opposed to guns, that he cut ten minutes of gun violence from his latest movie, Avatar 2. He claims that he did it because he didn’t want to fetishize the gun.

Of course, he didn’t cut ALL of the gun violence out, because then even fewer people would have watched his movie. After all, he made millions from ‘gun violence’ when he directed, produced, co-wrote, or otherwise was involved in movies like Dark Angel, True Lies, Titanic (which had gunplay), the Aliens series of movies, The Abyss, Point Break, Alita: Battle Angel, and the 33 movies, TV shows, video games, and other stories of The Terminator series.

No, he left plenty of gun play in Avatar 2, even though he claims to hate guns so much that he moved from North America to New Zealand because “they just banned all assault rifles two weeks after that horrific mosque shooting a couple of years ago” but doesn’t hate the fact that he is making millions of dollars off of movies with gunplay in them.

Look, I would still respect Mr. Cameron even as I disagreed with him over this issue, if he took a principled stance and refused to use any firearms at all. That isn’t what he does. He uses enough scenes involving firearms to make money, then claims to be “sick to his stomach” about “gun violence” even as he becomes wealthy by using them.

Then there is the fact that Cameron can afford to hire, and does hire, private armed security guards. It isn’t that he hates guns. It’s that he hates when poor people have guns. Poor being anyone who has less money than him, that is.

Eco Terrorists

The press is trying to make this sound like they were innocent divers trying to save some sharks from illegal fishermen. Reading between the lines, it sounds more like they are ecoterrorist enviroweenies. They spent three hours retrieving a marked fishing line with sharks and Jewfish on the line.

Look, I am a diver. I love seeing sharks. I love looking at the reef, but every diver (should) know that you don’t fuck with fishing gear, and you don’t fuck with lobster traps. It’s a crime. To top it off, they disposed of the marker buoy, and even the fishing line that the police told them to leave on the dock as evidence. If they REALLY believed that the line was an illegal fishing rig, wouldn’t they have wanted to see the poachers caught?

No, this was a couple of assholes trying to make a name for themselves by saving some fish from the evil fishermen.

Antigun is more important than anticop

The same leftist news media that was screaming for defunding the police is deleting my comments that police should receive firearms training. Here is the deleted comment:

The Deputy who fired this shot should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. There is no excuse for this sort of recklessly negligent horseplay. Since the sheriff seems to takeaway from this incident that the Deputy should have known the gun was loaded based upon how much it weighed, I would also suggest that the entire Sheriff’s department be forced to undergo a firearm safety refresher course. This incident is a sure sign that training is lacking and attention to firearm safety is not being taken seriously.
In this class, they can stress the four rules.

1 Treat all guns as if they are always loaded. (not just when they feel heavy enough to be loaded)

2 Don’t point a gun at anything you aren’t willing to destroy (including in jest)

3 Don’t put your finger on the trigger until ready to shoot.

4 Know what your target is, and what is behind it.
The life that is saved may be your own.

Why? Because leftists hate one thing more than cops- guns. They need to make this a gun death “If a well trained cop can make this mistake, an untrained civilian won’t do any better”

I think it went swimmingly

There was a man in Missouri who murdered a police officer. He was convicted and sentenced to die. The story would end there, but his 19 year old daughter wanted to be there with him when he died, but was denied because she wasn’t yet 21. The daughter claims that the justice system failed her. Of course you know that I have some thoughts on this.

First, the convict was 37 years old on the day he was executed. His daughter was 19, making him 18 when she was born. She has a 2 month old child. Three generations of welfare recipients- children having children. The mother in this case was killed by her boyfriend when the daughter was 4 years old. It seems that the black men in this story are all about violence and death.

Second, the reason why he got the death penalty in the first place. Williams had punched his girlfriend. When the police showed up to arrest him, his brother fled on foot and collapsed of a heart attack, which was caused by a genetic defect. Williams blamed one of the cops for the death, ambushing and killing him by shooting him multiple times. Williams confessed to the murder and was sentenced to death. Of course, the leftist lawyers all cried about how the process was races ‘n sheeit. Williams claims that it was due to his mental illness.

The daughter is an advocate against capital punishment. The family’s reverend says that there were other ways to handle this. In full disclosure, I oppose the death penalty as well, but only because I don’t trust the government to get the right guy. In this case, they did. She is an advocate against the death penalty? Why not be an advocate of black people committing violent crimes or murders? Then the death penalty would be wholly unnecessary.

My feeling here? No one in this scenario seems to even consider what the police officer and his children went through. No one considers that Williams was a violent criminal with a history of committing violent felonies. So he found religion as his execution date came near. So what? He wasn’t sorry for what he did, he was sorry that he got caught. How many crimes were prevented by his incarceration and execution?

Not Surprising

University of Florida had some woke bullshit BLM stuff on their medical school webpages. That doesn’t surprise me in the least. I didn’t go to UF, but this is widespread throughout US colleges. I had to listen to and report on Podcasts talking about Health Equity and how all white people have privilege and are racist.

One of those podcasts talked about how black women have worse outcomes in healthcare than do white women, and this is proof of racial bias. As evidence, the podcast offered Serina Williams’ issues during childbirth to show that black women can’t get quality care, even when rich and famous.

Except that isn’t what happened. Ms. Williams has a preexisting condition requiring that she take anticoagulants to prevent blood clots. When she was to give birth by Caesarian section, the hospital told her to stop taking the anticoagulants, as they increase the chances of severe bleeding during surgery. After the surgery, she developed blood clots because she wasn’t on her medication. That happens and had nothing to do with her race.

That doesn’t matter to the woke professors that have infected our colleges. What do you do as a student? Well, you can do what I did when I was in grad school to be a PA, which was be loud and defend your opinions, but all that does is make an enemy of the professor who will then run you out of school and make certain you won’t ever be accepted to another grad school. Or, you can do what I did when I went to nursing school: keep your mouth shut, parrot the woke party line, and try to not be noticed.

Sickening

Yahoo news says that the number of guns sold on Black Friday makes them sick. The shooting that they use to illustrate the issue was that of a 12 year old black child who was killed in Atlanta when two groups of “youths” (read as: Criminal Street Gangs) started shooting at each other.

The kid wasn’t “caught in the crossfire” he was an active participant, a street gang member himself. Don’t blame me and my guns because your criminal child is involved in gang activity.

“I tried, y’all. I called the police office almost 30 times in the last two years, and they told me they can’t do nothing. I said he’s out and breaking into these folks’ cars, can you please get him off the street,” Deerica [his mother] said.

Now mom claims he wasn’t actually *IN* the gang, but he was running around with other criminals, committing felonies. I suppose he wasn’t in the gang because he hadn’t paid his annual dues to the club?

EDITED TO ADD: Four days after Black Friday, we know exactly how many guns were sold. Three weeks after election day, we still don’t know how many votes were cast and for whom.
