The headline reads “Virginia man known as ‘Glockz’ convicted of possessing ‘ghost gun’” All they focus on is that he had a homemade firearm. Nevermind that he was dealing cocaine and Fentanyl. Nevermind that he rammed a police car with his Escalade. There was another gun in his possession at the time, but that doesn’t matter. He is a convicted felon. That is, a criminal.
Here is the gun, which appears to be a Polymer 80.
He was in possession of opiates and Promethazine, according to photos. That’s illegal without a prescription. The reason promethazine is important is that it potentiates the effects of opiates. That is, taken with an opiate, it greatly increases the effect that the opiate has.
What you will note is that there are pictures of the gun, pictures of drugs, but not a single picture of the criminal. That’s important. It shows that there is not a concern by the reporter for the person committing violent crimes. While the article mentions that he had been convicted of armed robbery, it doesn’t mention that he has been caught committing armed robbery on more than a few occasions.
The odd part? His instagram account has been scrubbed. After an exhaustive search, I couldn’t find a single picture of this man anywhere. There is no description of him or what he looks like to be found. It’s like they don’t want us to know what he looks like. I wonder why.
Criminals by definition do not follow laws. This one certainly didn’t. What matters is that he was a convicted violent criminal. He was caught breaking other laws, including using his vehicle as a weapon. So what difference does it make whether or not he had a ghost gun? The answer is of course, it doesn’t. Unless the real reason for the article was not to report on the criminal, but to report on the gun. The real reason of this article is to make the gun appear to be the danger here, and not the drug dealing violent black man who was using it to commit crimes.
Officers arrived on the scene Sunday of a stabbing and shot the assailant 14 times.
Baltimore “violence interrupter” was attacking a woman with a knife when Police arrived. You can see the victim under the suspect and the suspects knife to the neck, taking 14 shots before dropping the knife. This all went down within 4 seconds of the Officers arriving. pic.twitter.com/mgtiKxV3td
It looks good to me. However, the cops are already taking criticism for the shooting. The assailant who was shot is a “community activist” who was in favor of establishing “no shoot zones.”
“I think it was overkill and it shouldn’t have went that far,” said Carlton Moorehead, the assailant’s father, who claims his son had been suffering from a mental health crisis, and that police wrongly handled the situation. He insisted that police should have tried to deescalate the situation and gotten his son mental health counseling. Nevermind the fact that he was stabbing the innocent woman, whose only crime was walking down the street while your son was getting all stabby.
The NAACP issued a statement following the video’s release, and said they would conduct their own investigation into the incident, because of course they will. After all, we need to support the rights of black men to be able to stab women in the throat without police interference.
Looking at his criminal record, he has been arrested in 8 burglaries in Osceola county. In 5 of those cases, the state didn’t press charges. He was convicted in 3 of them by entering a plea agreement on all three cases simultaneously on March 3. He was given a jail sentence of 271 days, but all of that was erased with credit for time served. A total of 8 felony charges, plea guilty, get released from jail immediately. Then he resumes burglarizing homes immediately. Sounds like justice to me.
This is why we have so much crime. Our criminal justice system is a revolving door. Violent criminals are allowed to continue this behavior again and again, getting turned loose only to commit the same crimes again in a month or two.
Meanwhile, the police are out there being douchebags to people who aren’t committing violent felonies. Why is that? Well, the State Attorney for Orange and Osceola county is Monique H. Worrell, a liberal democrat. She boasts that her office is “culturally diverse” and her official website brags:
Monique was elected to bring reform to a criminal legal system that is fundamentally flawed, in order to achieve equity and to move our system towards justice.
The Osceola County Sheriff is Marco Lopez, a Democrat from Chicago. When he was elected, his priorities were increasing the diversity of the sheriff’s department, deescalation training and adding more mental health resources. Note that actually stopping crime and catching criminals was not on the radar.
I can promise you one thing. There is no recidivism if I catch a violent felon breaking into my house while I am home.
The left hates you and wants you dead. They think mass killings are funny, a game. The lawyers defending the Parkland shooter flipped off the families of their client’s mass shooting and then laughed about it with their confessed, mass murdering client.
The families of those victims were pissed and responded by pointing out how the defense counselors would feel if their own children were killed. The defense tried to get the judge to issue a warning to them. The judge told them to sit down. So now the defense wants the judge to be impeached.
Flip me off during the trial of my child’s murderer while you are defending him and see what happens to you. Remember that police and trials exist so lynchings don’t.
This guy was arrested at Disney after being spotted by avacationing postal inspector who knew that the man was a fugitive. He is being accused of fraudulently obtaining PPP loans. In an even stranger turn of events, while researching for this post, I discovered that the student who attacked me in my classroom back in 2016 also formed a fake corporation to get PPP money. He got $21,000 in Federal cash using a corporation that was never actually in business and only existed for the year it was formed. It seems that this was a common scam.
A 17 year old in Putnam county argued with a man before shooting a 5 year old child in retribution. He was arrested on one count of aggravated battery, three counts of aggravated assault and one count of firing a missile into a vehicle — all of which are felony charges.
That’s always been the mantra of the left. There is no need to use force to stop a criminal- this is a simple transaction whereby poor people attempt to feed their families, give them what they want, and there will be no problems. That has always been the left’s philosophy.
But what if what the criminal wants is to kill you? The left’s assumption is caused by projection- the left is assuming that a criminal’s motivation is a rational one, brought about by the desperation of poverty. It is a simple idea that ignores the complexities of actual life. Sometimes, people don’t share your values for whatever reason. They aren’t stealing to feed their families, they are just crazy, evil, or simply animals bereft of any shred of simple morality. The obvious and simple notion that some people are simply evil has so-called “experts” in NYC at a loss.
“It makes no sense,” said Chris Herrmann, an assistant professor at John Jay, who once served as a crime statistics expert at the NYPD. “The victim wasn’t threatening, the victim was leaving, it doesn’t make sense when it comes to the victim-offender relationship,” Herrmann said, referencing Moore’s Oct. 6 murder at the 176th Street station in The Bronx, which happened right after the Citi Field worker had exited the train.

My favorite quote is when the reporter on the video found at this link asked the woman “Do you feel safe in New York?” and the woman replies: “Yes, I do. Of course, you have to be aware of your surroundings any place that you work or commute at all times.”
I am sitting in my living room with the windows open and enjoying the fall air. I don’t have to worry about getting stabbed on my way to work. I am hundreds of times safer in my community than the average NYC resident. Why? The citizens in my area are mostly armed and don’t put up with that shit, and neither do the police, nor does my governor.
The experts are claiming that the reduction in people taking the subway is responsible for the increase in violent crime. Dr. Dorothy Schulz, a professor of law and police studies from John Jay College, said the low ridership numbers could be why so much violence is happening underground.
“Less subway activity by commuters or tourists has contributed to the fact that the percentage of people who are on the subway or streets with mental-health issues is higher,” Schulz told The Post.
That is demonstrably false. The ridership in 2020 was 53 million per month, in 2021 was 63 million per month, and is now 81 million per month. If the theory that more riders=safety in numbers, the violent crime numbers would be decreasing from a high in 2020, but that isn’t what is happening. Instead, what is happening is 2020 saw a record high in violent crime, with that record being beaten in each of the following years.
My theory? The George Floyd riots has caused many cops to do what has lately been referred to as “quiet quitting.” Combine that with catch and release “no bail” laws and disarmed citizens, and what you get is criminals running the place.
New Yorkers keep voting for the same slick, lefty politicians in election after election. The last Republican Mayor of NYC was that lefty RINO Bloomberg. He was mayor of NYC as a republican 2002-2013, but in 2016, delivered a speech at the Democratic National Convention and called Hillary Clinton “the right choice,” then donated $80 million to democratic candidates in 2018 with the stated goal of flipping control of the House to Democrats. Then he ran for President as a Democrat in 2020.
The same is true for the NY Governor. The only Republican Governor that NY has had since 1974 is George Pataki, and remains the last Republican to be elected to a statewide office in New York.
You have crime because you keep electing socialists. New York is getting the government that it has voted for. It turns out that the entire state is just giving the criminals what they want while hoping they will just take your stuff and leave you with your life. How’s that working for you, New York? Just remember not to vote for the same failed policies when you relocate.
Where are Snake Plissken or Bernard Goetz when you need them?
In the interest of full disclosure, I will start this post by saying that I am opposed to the death penalty. Not in principle, mind you. After all, there is only one way that is 100% certain to make sure that a killer doesn’t repeat his crime. No, I am opposed to the death penalty because I don’t trust the government officials in charge of the criminal “justice” system. Ask the Duke Lacrosse players, or any of the thousands of people exonerated by the Innocence Project. To put even one person to death who didn’t deserve it is a travesty of justice that makes all of us culpable in that innocent death.
Now that we have that out of the way, I will also say that if there ever was anyone who deserves the death penalty is the guy who carried out that shooting. He was upset because no girl wanted a piece of him, so he admitted that he planned the shooting for Valentine’s Day so none of the students would ever celebrate that holiday again. He admitted to planning out his attack for five years. He simply waited until he was old enough to buy guns with which to carry out his massacre. He is an evil son of a bitch who deserves to fry in Florida’s chair, but the jury decided that they will give him life in prison, instead.
Sharing in his guilt are all of the people along the way who knew that this monster was unhinged, yet failed to take action. The FBI, who received numerous calls to their “see something, say something, we do nothing” line. The school counselors who failed to report his statements and behavior. His foster parents who were scared enough to lock up his guns, but not call the cops.
Most of all? The voters of Broward county. They reliably vote for this shit, they vote Democrat, the reelect coward public officials, they tolerate this. They are getting the government that they vote for. It’s just too bad that their mental issues have an effect on the rest of us in this state.
Those actions are enough to get a mention here. However, there is more to the story. The “teen,” you will note, is a “jr.” and has a father of the same name, who was in the news a few years ago, having lost an appeal to the Fifth circuit after being arrested. Let’s let the case speak for itself:
On October 13, 2004, police obtained a search warrant for the house and an arrest warrant for its occupants…Upon entering the dwelling in execution of the warrant, the officers encountered Heather Wilson, who informed them that McCowan resided there. The officers found two handguns in the living room, a.45 caliber handgun found under a couch and a.380 caliber handgun, with the serial number obliterated, found underneath a smaller couch…Beside the .380, approximately six to eight inches away, was a baggie of marijuana… They gave [McCowan] Miranda warnings and began to question him. He gave them a statement in which he admitted: (1) he and Love resided at the house; (2) the handgun in question belonged to his mother; (3) he kept the handgun at the house for protection; (4) he knew its serial number had been filed off; (5) he knew that possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number was unlawful; and (6) he thought the firearm probably had been stolen.
He lost the appeal. It seems that this particular apple didn’t fall very far from this particular tree, which just happened to be located in the orchard that seems to be incapable of living in accordance with the law.
But hey, Cassandra, these two just happen to be two more of what you call “a small subset of violent black males that disproportionately commit violent crimes.”
