Crime

Why Do We Tolerate This?

Frederick Douglass once said: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” This is a universal truth. We get as much tyranny as we are willing to endure without taking action. That’s what caused me to write the post about workplace violence from today.

It’s also caused me to write my opinion on the Taqueria shooting in this post. We all know the story. A man is sitting in a restaurant enjoying dinner when an armed robber comes in. The armed robber takes everyone’s money, and our hero pulls his weapon and smokes his ass. Now the law is talking about prosecuting the hero.

There has been a lot of debate as to whether or not the man should have taken as many shots as he did. I will grant you that the law says shooting someone who is down and out of the fight is illegal. That’s where I have a problem. See, the dirtbag who was killed had already murdered one person while committing a similar robbery in 2015. He shot and killed a man and saw his charges pled down to aggravated robbery, for which he was sentenced to 15 years in prison. He served only about a third of that reduced sentence. For killing someone, he served about 5 years in prison. Keep in mind that there are people who committed the crime of trespassing in the US Capitol during the J6 protests that are still in prison awaiting trial two years later.

We as a people should decide that we have had enough. The law is not there to protect law abiding people from criminals. There are many more law abiding citizens than there are criminals. No, police are there to protect accused criminals so that they are ensured of getting a fair trial.

That system is broken. Now the criminals are getting more lenient punishment than are the law abiding.

I will never get put on a jury because I am a gun owning, employed white male. However, if I ever was, no one who takes out the trash like this would EVER be found guilty. I wouldn’t care if he had tied his hands behind his back and put a bullet behind his ear. As far as I am concerned, that would have been a public service.

Perhaps his lawyer can make the case that the critter, having been shot 8 times was already dead, and therefore his client’s only violation of the law was abuse of a corpse, then plea it down to something else like vandalism.

Work

I worked yesterday. The theme of the day was insane people with mental problems and intoxicant day.

One woman came in with a complaint of constipation. She said that her anal sphincter was too tight, and wanted us to loosen it for her. I told the charge nurse that we should send her to the local bar with a couple of coupons for free drinks, and I am sure one of the patrons of the bar would help her out. The charge nurse actually snorted.

Then I was given a Baker Act. She was being Baker acted for the third time for threatening to kill herself. This time, threatened to get a gun and come back to kill us all after she was discharged. Then she told me that she would look for me when she got out, so she could “fuck me up.” She also said that she would follow me home one night so she could kill my family. I had to get a female staff member to escort the patient to the bathroom. Once they were in there, the patient attacked the female. After that, I couldn’t get a single female to take over my patient. They were all afraid of either being attacked and injured, or being attacked and getting suspended. Since I already was suspended recently, I insisted that my manager call the local cops and filed a police report. My amanger wasn’t happy about that, but I don’t care. I am not going to put up with crazy bitches threatening me. The cops wouldn’t arrest her, but at least it creates a record in the event that I see her near my house. Other than taking reports, cops are largely useless. I don’t know if the threats and her appearing in my neighborhood would be reasonable fear or not, but it can’t hurt. I am pretty sure that, should I see her in my neighborhood, I will call the cops and probably hold her at gunpoint.

Name another job that requires its employees to be physically attacked and put up with threats of being murdered.

Speaking of that, one of my former druggie dirtbag patients decided to perform a home invasion, and got ventilated by the homeowner. He is now fully rehabilitated. I love happy endings.

Then I had to spend the day in recertification classes, doing my recertifications in Basic Life Support, Advanced Life Support, and Pediatric Life Support.

Nope

Back in the day, I used to frequent the three bars in this story. Not any more. Orlando night life has gone to shit. Actually, all of Orlando has gone to shit ever since it became a Democrat run shithole wanting to be a workers’ paradise. I wouldn’t go near that area any more.

Gone are the days when Kevin Beary was the sheriff. He was the sheriff from 1993 to 2009, had a tough on crime persona, and was a real ally of the 2A. He was once interviewed because a CCW holder got in a gunfight with some fleeing criminals who tried to carjack him when the vehicle they were fleeing from police in was disabled. The CCW holder killed one and wounded another. They were eventually caught by Orange County SWAT. The reporter asked if the CCW holder would be facing charges. Beary responded by saying that he would probably offer the guy a job because he had saved the taxpayers of Florida so much money. The press hated his ass and supported the Demings couple.

The left hated Beary for approving NFA purchases for Orange county residents. They eventually were able to run him off. So now we have a downtown Orlando that is overrun with crime.

The preacher man says it’s the end of time
And the Mississippi River, she’s a-goin’ dry
The interest is up and the stock market’s down
And you only get mugged if you go downtown

I live back in the woods you see
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun, a rifle and a four-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Repeat Offender

This guy kidnapped, raped, and murdered a woman in 1986 and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He got out and just tried to do it again. Look at his eyes, and tell me that you don’t want to punch his ticket to hell.

And ladies- don’t get into people’s cars, especially when they look like this.

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?

Good Guy With a Gun

A good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun, and doesn’t even fire a shot. The antigun left won’t count this as a “defensive gun use” but it certainly was. You don’t need to fire a gun in order to use it in self defense.

Note how they stress that the hero was an “armed veteran” who “grabbed his gun, chambered a round, and rushed outside to assist.” They can’t admit that a CCW carrier could possibly do anything good, unless they were a veteran who kept an unloaded gun around.

Guessing Game

Police have arrested a 14 year old in the January shooting death of a 15 year old Jones High School student. The 14 year old has reportedly confessed to the murder. The story reports on the name of the victim and even includes a picture.

You will note that there is no name or picture of the 14 year old killer. I wondered why, so I went hunting for one, and it didn’t take me long to find it.

That explains why they didn’t mention his name, Tydeareon Devonte Sessler, nor include a picture. Still, it doesn’t surprise anyone here, does it?
