Legal Blood

Years ago, when I was still a paramedic with the fire department, we would occasionally draw blood from patients and turn it over to the police. More than once, I drew a resisting patient’s blood while a police officer held a taser to their neck.

Why would I do that, you ask?

Florida has long had a specific statute, § 316.1933, covering crashes involving death or serious bodily injury. It provides that when an officer has probable cause to believe an impaired driver caused a death or serious bodily injury, the officer shall require a blood test. The statute also expressly authorizes the officer to use reasonable force if necessary, and it authorizes physicians, nurses, paramedics, and other qualified personnel to draw the blood at the officer’s request. It also grants immunity to those assisting with the draw when acting under the statute at the direction of a law enforcement officer.

For many years, the prevailing view, based largely on the earlier U.S. Supreme Court decision in Schmerber v. California (1966), was that alcohol dissipating from the bloodstream created an exigency justifying a warrantless blood draw in many DUI cases. The person’s liver was literally destroying the evidence every minute, and the delay in obtaining a warrant was the difference between a DUI homicide and a drunk walking away.

I understood why the law was there, and I also disagreed with it. My favorite quote is “better 1,000 guilty go free than 1 innocent person be convicted.” The truth is that the DUI law changes have had no discernible effect on the rate of traffic fatalities. Of course, the fact that the government uses traffic offenses as a cash cow, with Florida making $100 million a year from traffic tickets has nothing to do with it. In California, it was discovered that 1,600 DUI checkpoints yielded only 3,200 DUI arrests (two per checkpoint), but resulted in $40 million in traffic tickets and 24,000 vehicle confiscations. Cops also won, being paid $30 million in overtime to staff the checkpoints.

That was the law when I retired from the fire department in 2011. Then in 2013, the Supreme Court decided Missouri v. McNeely. The Court held that the natural metabolization of alcohol by itself does not automatically create an exigency. Instead, officers generally need a warrant unless the facts of the particular case make obtaining one impractical.

After McNeely, Florida appellate courts repeatedly held that, despite § 316.1933, the State still had to show either:

  • a warrant,
  • valid consent,
  • or a recognized exception to the warrant requirement (such as genuine exigent circumstances).

Not Buying It

The gaslighting is real. This guy, part of an Antifa terror cell and a wanna-be killer tranny Bradford “Meagan” Morris says, well, I will let you read it:

“The original intent was just to show solidarity with the detainees who hopefully lift their spirits with a fun fireworks display and go home,” she told KERA. “If the officer got shot by someone, that person was acting alone. But they want to punish all of us.”

A fun fireworks display? That’s what you are calling that? They had a planning meeting. Conducted recon. Did a weapons check over the radio. Then tossed fireworks into the detention center to lure the ICE agents out. Then they shot a cop, and would have shot more, but Antifa tranny fags can’t shoot for shit.

I remember 2020. You assholes were tossing fireworks as makeshift anti-personnel rounds. That’s called constructive possession and throwing of a destructive device. We haven’t forgotten that, and I don’t believe for a second you were doing this as a crowd pleasing display. Fuck you- rot in there. The only better outcome would have been if the cops had smoked your shit.

I call it like I see it, and that’s how I am calling this one.

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”

Entertainment

A couple was arrested for leaving an unsecured bicycle in their yard then using a bat to beat thieves who tried to steal it.

The best part of the story is how wven though they were arrested, no charges were filed. The real purpose of police is to ensure a fair trial for those accused of crimes. Once they stop ensuring that and criminals run wild, their victims take matters into their own hands.

Teens

About 1,000 ‘teens’ rushed in and ‘took over’ an Orlando attraction. They rushed ICON Park on International Drive, which is in the heart of Orlando’s tourist area just down the street from the Orlando Convention center. I used to go to the area a lot- there is a lot to do there, and the restaurants are pretty good. ICON park has a large Ferris wheel called the Orlando Eye.

What did these ‘teens’ do when they got there? Why, they started fights, ran off paying customers, and punched the cops who responded. Nine of them were arrested and two cops were injured. The ‘teens’ were exactly what you would expect them to be. Damned Norwegians and Amish people cause trouble wherever they go.

Anyhow, the families of these poor victims of systemic racism are complaining and threatening to sue. This is why I stay far away from Orlando these days. It used to be that teens stayed in their part of town. Now that isn’t the case any longer.

More Info, the Manifesto

Fifteen minutes ago, the Washington Post released what they are calling the shooter’s “manifesto.” It was reportedly sent to family ten minutes before shots were fired, so I would class it more as a suicide note. Here is the full text:

Hello everybody!

So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused.

I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it was for “Most Wanted.”

I apologize to my colleagues and students for saying I had a personal emergency (by the time anyone reads this, I probably most certainly DO need to go to the ER, but can hardly call that not a self-inflicted status.)

I apologize to all of the people I traveled next to, all the workers who handled my luggage, and all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger simply by being near.

I apologize to everyone who was abused and/or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure.

I don’t expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies.

On to why I did any of this:

I am a citizen of the United States of America.

What my representatives do reflects on me.

And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.

(Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I’ve had to do something about it.)

While I’m discussing this, I’ll also go over my expected rules of engagement (probably in a terrible format, but I’m not military so too bad.)

Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest

Secret Service: they are targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (aka, I hope they’re wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who *aren’t*

Hotel Security: not targets if at all possible (aka unless they shoot at me)

Capitol Police: same as Hotel Security

National Guard: same as Hotel Security

Hotel Employees: not targets at all

Guests: not targets at all

In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls)

I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn’t come to that.

Rebuttals to objections:

Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek.

Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial. I’m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.

Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.

Objection 2: This is not a convenient time for you to do this.

Rebuttal: I need whoever thinks this way to take a couple minutes and realize that the world isn’t about them. Do you think that when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I should walk on by because it would be “inconvenient” for people who aren’t the victim?

This was the best timing and chance of success I could come up with.

Objection 3: You didn’t get them all.

Rebuttal: Gotta start somewhere.

Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldn’t be the one doing this.

Rebuttal: I don’t see anyone else picking up the slack

Objection 5: Yield unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.

Rebuttal: The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.

I would also like to extend my appreciation to a great many people since I will not be likely to be able to talk with them again (unless the Secret Service is *astoundingly* incompetent.)

Thank you to my family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years.

Thank you to my friends, for your companionship over many years.

Thank you to my colleagues over many jobs, for your positivity and professionalism.

Thank you to my students for your enthusiasm and love of learning.

Thank you to the many acquaintances I’ve met, in person and online, for short interactions and long-term relationships, for your perspectives and inspiration.

Thank you all for everything.

Sincerely,

Cole “coldForce” “Friendly Federal Assassin” Allen

PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone.

Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.

What I got (who knows, maybe they’re pranking me!) is nothing.

No damn security.

Not in transport.

Not in the hotel.

Not in the event.

Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.

I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.

The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.

Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.

Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit.

Actually insane.

Oh and if anyone is curious is how doing something like feels: it’s awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust this betrays; I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.

Can’t really recommend it! Stay in school, kids.

This guy is clearly sane, clearly leftist, and clearly planned this out. He’s a smart guy. CalTech isn’t a school for idiots. The insanity defense isn’t going to work here. His biggest flaw, and IMO the reason his plan failed, is real life isn’t like a first person shooter video game. He expected to sail through level after level of increasingly serious opponents until he faced down and defeated the “big boss.”

Look, the Secret Service has a limited budget. They can’t search everyone and their hotel rooms. This is still the US and people still have civil rights. Instead, they layer security. He made it through the outer layer, which was staffed by hotel staff and local police. He got to the first layer staffed by Secret Service personnel, and decided to run through the checkpoint. He didn’t make it. Had he, there would have been more and heavier opposition, but there was no way he would have made it all the way to the room where a gaggle of protectees was sitting.

On a larger note, the left has declared war on the nation. Read social media for a bit. I do, and what the left wants for us is no less than a full on communist utopia, with themselves as sitting around writing poetry, painting pictures, and playing video games while the rest of us toil in the factories, fields, and gulags. That’s why they hate the electoral college- they don’t think those of us who live in flyover America deserve a say, because we are all uneducated racist rednecks who are busy fornicating with our sisters.

It’s coming. Keep stocking up on supplies.
