I Can’t Disagree

Steven Crowder has a great piece on the Anthony conviction. He says the people who say “Not all blacks” are ignoring the fact that more than 77% of blacks support reparations. I can’t argue with that. Here is the segment:

There are those who will accuse me of racism for the things I post here. I actually am not, I go where the evidence takes me. The facts are there, and they have proven out decade after decade:

  • A white man in a poor black neighborhood is 12 times more likely to be murdered than his black counterpart, and black man is safer in any white neighborhood than he is in a poor black one.
  • More than half of all murders in this country are committed by the 13% of the US population that is black.
  • 33% of adult Black men had a felony conviction as of 2010
  • 60% of Black male high-school dropouts have been incarcerated by their mid-30s
  • By age 26, about 36% of young Black men have experienced probation and about 31% had experienced incarceration, with rates even higher among those from lower-education family backgrounds

Does that mean all blacks are criminals? No. However, even though the government doesn’t keep the statistics on this (it doesn’t fit the narrative), a black man between the ages of 13 and 30 is more likely to go to prison for a violent crime than he is to be in a successful career like doctor, lawyer, or accountant. In fact, without a college education, black men are statistically more likely to be violent felons than they are not.

That is just what the facts show. If you don’t ignore those facts, or scream about how they prove systemic racism, you are a racist. Following the facts is considered racism.

The problems with black culture that result in black crime, murder, and incarceration will never get fixed if we can’t even discuss the facts. However, we do have some serious race problems in this country. As Crowder points out, 74% of black people say that their race is central to their identity, while only 15% of whites do. That indicates a divide that is simply too wide to be bridged.

So what does that mean to us as a nation? There are too many factions for these States to stay United. The coming collapse is going to be violent, horrific, and involve the deaths of millions.

This is what I meant

When I posted about the Karmelo Anthony guilty verdict, this is what I expected to see:

Zimmerman, Penny, and Chow were all found not guilty. Had this poster just left it at Chauvin and Guyger, the argument would be more valid. Including people who were found to be innocent just makes the poster look foolish. To call it racism is simply retarded.

Then there is this mental midget:

So you want a “do over” that gives Anthony a second bite at the apple because everyone gets one get out of jail card for murder?

Another Tough Guy

Karmelo Anthony was found guilty after only three hours of deliberations. Of course, there are tons of his fellow blacks out there claiming he should get a new trial because his attorney was incompetent. or that he is going to win on appeal. That isn’t how it works, but then again, they don’t understand the law any better than they understand self defense.

Kids Acting Like Kids?

The so- called “teen takeover” trend expanded this past weekend when a large group of “teens” headed to Clearwater Beach and immediately began attacking people before it ended with gunshots. The police chief had this to say:

Deputy Chief of the Clearwater Police Department, Michael Walek, held a press conference around 8:30 p.m., where he said the incident was organized through social media and that it happened because of a “bunch of kids acting like kids,” claiming that this kind of incident would not happen again. 

Kids shooting each other is actung like kids? That’s because it’s “teens”

Race Card

A black woman parks in a handicap spot without a permit. She has a warrant. She has no license. But the cop is picking on her because she is black.

Energy as a Weapon

Protesters using energy as a weapon:

Sonic energy: Screaming in your ear with a bullhorn, blowing a loud whistle inches from your ear, using canned air horns, etc.,

Laser energy: Shining lasers into people’s eyes

Should be treated like any other weapon, and it will be if it is done to me. Pepper spray at first, then more aggressive as they escalate. I am over this kind of crap.

Propaganda

Propublica is a leftist rag spending a lot of it’s binary ink bitching about guns. The issue I have is in how they deliberately frame and distort facts in order to advance their agenda. Case in point is this headline:

This Gun Shop Stayed Open Despite Repeated Violations. Then A Chicago Cop Was Killed With One Of Its Guns

So how did the gun wind up in the hands of a criminal? Olivia Burgos bought the 10mm Glock handgun from Range USA, in Merrillville, Indiana, on May 27, 2024, by lying on an ATF form about why she bought the gun, where she lived, and about her addiction to illegal drugs. She admitted to buying the gun for her boyfriend, who gave her the money for the gun and was a convicted felon who was not allowed to buy or possess firearms. It’s unknown how the gun made it from the boyfriend to the cop murdering criminal.

The story spins this into an indictment of the gun store itself, claiming that this one gun store had been cited for “serious compliance failures on multiple occasions” by the ATF. One thing that’s important to remember is the chain of stores in question have 50 locations in 14 different states. In other words, this isn’t a gun store, it’s 50 gun stores. There is no mention of just how many citations were issued, nor the severity of most of those issues. The ones that were mentioned are:

  • The Merrillville store faced revocation of its license following a 2022 inspection that determined a background check was missing for one sale. The ATF later rescinded the citation after the store provided proof that the background check had actually been conducted. In other words, not a violation.
  • In 2021 at the store in Dayton, the ATF determined an employee sold a firearm to a person who failed a background check, records show. Company representatives admitted to the agency that the employee had failed to follow store policy and “missed the appropriate connections” concerning illegal sales, despite training.
  • The next year in Lewis Center, an ATF inspector found that a sales clerk had falsified records of a gun sale after accepting an expired conceal-and-carry permit in lieu of conducting a background check

The cop killed that supposedly spawned this article? Yeah, the gun used in the April 26, 2026 murder was in fact sold by Range, USA. In 2024.

Authorities said Bartholomew and another officer transported robbery suspect Alphanso Talley to the hospital April 25 after he claimed to have swallowed narcotics. Prosecutors said Talley pulled a hidden handgun from beneath a blanket while preparing for a CT scan and opened fire on the officers before briefly escaping custody.

So how can you lay this at the feet of the gun store? How is a gun store to know that the woman buying a gun is not going to give it to her drug dealing boyfriend who will soon sell the gun on the black market before two years later, it eventually winds up in the hands of a murderer that kills a cop?

Everyone knows there is no way for the gun store to know this. That isn’t the point. This is being used as some sort of ‘gotya’ to a large firearms retailer. This retailer has 50 store locations- actually, they are each required to have their own FFL, so we are really talking about 50 separate gun stores. What is that? 100,000 guns per year in those 50 stores?

The insinuation of this article is that Range USA is somehow deliberately selling guns to criminals. They don’t come right out and say that, because it isn’t true and they would likely get sued for it. So instead they frame the facts in such a way as to encourage the reader to make that connection themselves. It’s one of the three ways to tell a lie, according to Robert Heinlein:

  • lie with a straight face; anybody with enough gall to raise on a busted flush can do that
  • The first way to lie artistically is to tell the truth — but not all of it.
  • The second way involves telling the truth, too, but is harder: Tell the exact truth and maybe all of it…but tell it so unconvincingly that your listener is sure you are lying.

In leaving out the important details, they are misrepresenting the facts, and this is a form of lying. If you have to lie in order to make your point, perhaps your point isn’t worth making.
