Crime

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.

Viewpoints

I know this story is 7 years old, but it displays an important point. A 17 year old was burglarizing a woman’s house and set off her burglar alarm, which alerted the 54 year old homeowner of the break in. She called police while rushing home, and arrived before the police to find the burglar climbing out of a window. She confronted him, he attacked her, she shot and killed him. Police ruled that the shooting was self defense. I won’t comment on the details or legality of the shooting, as there just aren’t enough facts in this article to say either way. (Although I think it is important to note that I can’t find where charges were ever filed.) What I want to concentrate on is what the man’s mother had to say:

“You have to look at it from every child’s point of view that was raised in the hood,” said Harris. “You have to understand… how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point-of-view.”

This is why your average negro isn’t capable of living in a high trust society. They look at things through what THEY want, and have no capacity for considering the needs or property of others. If they want something, they take it, property rights of other people be damned.

Hate Crime

Black woman running her mouth. Guy is tired of hearing it, tells her to shut up. She calls him a cracker then says “back up off me, I got a gun.”

I might even be tempted to draw on her black ass as soon as she said she had a gun. What she just did is a hate crime, and it’s also a forcible felony called “aggravated assault.” I wonder what state this was in…

784.011 Assault.— (1) An “assault” is an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent.

784.021 Aggravated assault.— (1) An “aggravated assault” is an assault:

(a) With a deadly weapon without intent to kill

Then the store owner wouldn’t call the cops. I guess he is afraid of she-boons

Illegal Cops, or Invading Army?

New Mexico has just passed a law that allows non-citizen immigrants to be police officers. In 2024 alone, the Biden administration issued over two million new work permits to non-citizens — many of them illegal immigrants. Federal law prohibits illegal aliens from possessing firearms, which law enforcement officer must carry.

Now we have to consider that the people who will be enforcing the laws against YOU are themselves criminals who are flouting the law.

A few times in the past, I have told you that more and more states and localities are hiring immigrants to be police officers, and in some cases they are hiring illegal immigrants. This is right out of the CIA insurgency manual, which has been followed by the left since at least 2019. The plan is to make people distrust the government so that they can replace it with their own, alternative, government. You know, the alternative that they have created.

Keep in mind that the Governor of New Mexico, Grisham, previously suspended Second Amendment rights in the state. In 2023, she issued an executive order banning citizens from carrying guns in Albuquerque. The executive order expired in 2024, but picture a person here in violation of the law, carrying a gun in violation of the law, telling you that you are under arrest for having a gun because some politician said so.

Each of us as Americans will have to decide at what point we have been overrun. At what point do we consider a group of uniformed, armed, illegal invaders to be an occupying army? When does the real resistance begin?

Trust me, my resistance won’t consist of sitting in the road blocking traffic or gluing my hand to a painting.

Useless

Check out these young adults in Minneapolis trying to bait cops into chasing them:

When questioned about it, the police chief had this to say:

“If a vehicle is simply stolen, there’s no force, violence or gun involved, police are not allowed to chase stolen cars. Period,” said O’Hara, “The police department’s policy does not allow for a vehicle pursuit simply because the car is stolen. The car would have to have been taken by force, some sort of violence, there would have to be a gun involved or some other serious crime. If an individual is trying to just bait the officer into a pursuit, it’s not going to get safer once this, once the cop starts chasing them… The cops did their job. They had zero discretion in that case,” he continued. “It is just not worth the risk of endangering everyone’s lives, especially if, at the end result, even if no one’s hurt, we arrest a couple juveniles, we bring them downtown, and they’re immediately released. It is completely senseless.”

In the meantime, local residents and business owners voice complaint after complaint that the police do nothing. If the cops aren’t going to even try to catch criminals, there is no reason to have cops. This is a case for an immediate 50% cut to the police budget, to correspond with a matching tax cut for the residents of the city.

In the meantime, remove the plates from your car and simply refuse to pull over for any and all traffic stops. They can’t chase you. Period.
