Crime

Warrants

The left is running around saying that it is illegal for ICE to arrest people unless they have a warrant. The idiots are injecting themselves into the situation by confronting police and demanding to “see the warrant.”

  • The leftist isn’t involved in the case. Random people can’t walk up to police and demand to see anything. The cops are under no compulsion to show you a warrant, nor to explain themselves to randos on the street.
  • The cops don’t have to be in physical possession of the court order or warrant in order to make an arrest. All they need is to know that the warrant or order exists. That’s why they call in the identification of people they are in contact with. If they call in your ID and are told there is an arrest warrant, it isn’t a “get out of jail free” card if they don’t have the physical warrant.

Stop being morons.

Father of Twenty?!?!

A man in Atlanta, father of 20 children, was shot and killed while in the commission of an armed robbery of an armed person who had just gotten off of a Greyhound bus. An obvious failure in his victim selection process. Hundreds of people showed up to mourn him. Here is a picture of ten of his kids at the memorial:

The man’s family is blaming guns and demanding that the state not allow people to defend themselves with legally carried firearms. They are also saying that Greyhound should not allow people to carry guns on their buses.

Hightower added that he is pushing Greyhound to end its policy allowing guns across state lines and urging Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to tighten gun laws to keep firearms away from young people.

The hardworking black men of Atlanta need to have their workplaces secure from the dangers of armed potential victims.

Blacks Behaving Badly

This black woman tries to sneak into Universal’s Islands of Adventure. She is caught, and tries everything that she can think of to get away, even to the point of tossing down the race card.

Then a bunch of other black people come to her defense, claiming that it shouldn’t be an arrestable offence, and the cops should have just let her leave the park. The cops, it seems, only arrested her because they are racists.

A socialist even shows up to claim that charging money to enter a theme park is one of the problems with capitalism. (Where does this socialist think that the money to pay employees, utilities, and maintenance costs for the rides will come from?)

She was arrested and her husband bailed her out. She didn’t show up to court, and there is now a warrant out for her arrest.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Except when they do. Why is Statista, using the FBI’s numbers, reporting that there were 21,504 murderers in the US in 2023, but also reporting that there were 17,713 murder victims? Or is this just statista skewing the numbers?

EDITED TO ADD

It’s Statista lying. The FBI crime report shows a total of 19,402 homicides for the entire country in 2023. Note that homicide is a blanket statement that includes murder as a subset. There cannot be more murders than there are homicides, therefore the true number of murders (and by extension, murderers) is less than 19,402.

Yes, I know that one murder can be carried out by more than one murderer, but these would seem to me to be statistical anomalies that would be more than balanced out by the cases where one murderer killed more than one person.

Coddling Criminals

This critter killed his grandparents.

He shot the grandmother first. When the grandfather ran next door for help, this asshole followed and fired six times through the neighbors’ door, killing his grandfather and critically injuring a 25 year old granddaughter of the neighbors.

He was charged with two counts of 2nd Degree Murder, one count of Attempted 2nd Degree Murder, and Shooting into an Occupied Residence.

The judge says he can get up to life in prison. Florida has a 10-20-life law, which says using a firearm in the commission of a felony gets you a MINIMUM sentence of 10 years, firing the gun a minimum of 20, and killing someone gets you life. This asshat should be looking at a minimum of three life sentences. They should also tack on an attempted manslaughter charge againt him for each person who was in the house when he fired into it.

Additionally, I can see 2nd Degree Murder for the grandmother, but chasing the grandfather down and shooting him through a door is definitely premeditation.

In all, I count 5 life sentences plus another 100 years. I’m sick of courts coddling these assholes while others sat in a DC jail for years without charges, after the cops invited them into the building.

Juneteenth

Those of us who carry guns are often told that we don’t need guns to protect ourselves, we just need to remember that the robbers are just people trying to feed their families. If we just give them what they want, we will be fine. This assumes that robbery is merely a business transaction, and depends upon a criminal threatening violence being a moral and upstanding citizen.

What if he isn’t? What if that criminal is just someone who sees other people as mere objects who are simply standing in the way of their happiness and success? Killing you is no more problematic to such a person than stepping on a bug. That’s how things like this happen- a man in Miami is robbed, and hands over the goods. They kill him anyway.

The last two posts are why:

  • I carry a gun everywhere I go.
  • I don’t go to places where there are violence and crime.
  • I avoid crowds of feral negros.
  • I pay attention to my surroundings. More than once, we have left an event because I didn’t like the vibe.

Last night, we went shopping and then to a swanky restaurant in an artsy district of a nearby town. I had a filet, my wife had garlic mussels. I was dressed in khaki slacks and a loose fitting Guayabera shirt. It hid my 9mm Shield Plus with microdot sight and my can of pepper spray very well. That gives me a less lethal option for boorish behavior, and also gives me 14 rounds of “I am not going to die unless you come with me.”

I’m not willing to bet my life, or the life of my spouse, on a criminal’s sense of good will and conscience.

“Teen”

Another “teen” has been caught with illegal weapons. The 17 year old pled guilty to possession of illegal firearms, including a machine gun. He was also placed in pre-trial diversion last year for aggravated assault with a firearm, after pointing a gun at someone ain St. Paul, MN. He served 180 days probation and community service.

I don’t think that teens who are obviously gang members should be granted pre-trial diversion for felonies involving firearms and aggravated assault. Pre-trial diversion is intended to teach kids who are accused of thinks like shoplifting and egging someone’s house that what they did was not acceptable. It isn’t, and never was, intended to allow gang bangers to get away with violent crime.

They don’t show a picture or mention a name, but I can certainly imagine what this “teen” looks like.

It’s Their Culture

Two people were killed when a shooting happened in Las Vegas last night, right in front of the Bellagio Fountains. It appears to have been one Social Media “influencer”, who runs a channel called the Sin City Family Channel:

Got into an altercation with another influencer, pulled a gun and fired shots. One of the victims is reported to be this “influencer”:

If blacks don’t want to be stereotyped, they should stop acting in a stereotypical manner. Contrast that with the behavior of the white guy with his arm around his girl to the left of the screen. As soon as he hears shots, he takes her down to the ground and shields her with his body.

Rumor has it that the fight was caused because the two channels were engaged in reporting each other in an attempt to get the other channel enough strikes to be shut down by Youtube. The day before, the shooter had posted to social media that he was going to track down his rival.

Security

My wife reported to me that a salesman was going door to door in the area. When he rang the bell after ignoring the “no soliciting” and “no trespassing” signs, she saw him on the doorbell camera and didn’t answer.

A neighbor reported to us that they did open the door for him, but once they heard him pitching to them, they told him they weren’t interested and asked him to leave. Instead, he stayed and argued with them.

I’m not sure how I would deal with this, because so much depends on his actions and attitude. However, there is a good chance that he will be proned out at gunpoint when the cops arrive. Why? Because ignoring the sign and ignoring my instructions to leave are called trespass after warning. You can use non deadly force against trespassers. Pointing a firearm at someone is, by law in Florida, NOT deadly force, as long as you don’t tell them you will shoot, kill, or injure them. Something like “let me see your hands, get on the ground.”

Whether or not he would be encouraged to prone out with high velocity objects would depend on his actions.
