We hear all of the time from the left that we should just let the burglars take what they want, because our stuff is insured or because all they want is to feed their children. But what if what the thief that has just broken into your house wants to rape you, stab you, and then leave you for dead so that your small child is an orphan, or worse, is killed too? Will insurance fix that? Is that just stuff? Is the burglar just trying to feed his family? How can you tell the difference before it is too late?
This is why anyone who breaks into my home had better surrender immediately, because whether he knows it or not, he just arrived at the place and time of a very short and violent gunfight.
This isn’t anything new. When I was in high school some 40 years ago, there was an Orange county deputy who used to sit in his patrol car on International Drive just south of Sand Lake Road, right there where it became a dirt road. He used to sell drugs out of his patrol car. Everyone knew he had good stuff, because it had been tested by the police drug lab.
It turns out that is exactly what he had. This now raises the question: Where and how did he get three fully automatic rifles? Those look like new manufacture.
Two “teens” decided to redistribute a homeowner’s car and got shot for their trouble. Note that the report doesn’t mention the race of those involved, but the local news stations are well known for burying the details of criminals that don’t fit the narrative.
This happened in the Pine Hills neighborhood of Orlando. The city refers to the area thusly: “Pine Hills is one of the most ethnically diverse regions of the Greater Orlando metropolitan area and is a minority majority community.”
For those of you who don’t know, locals refer to that area of town as “Crime Hills,” and it’s an area where you don’t want to get caught after dark, especially if you are white. The area is more than 70% black, and has a violent crime rate that is 73% higher than the average US neighborhood. The crime in the neighborhood is bad enough that there are numerous charities and government programs that are dedicated to lowering violent crime in the area.
The best way to defend yourself in Pine Hills is just don’t go to Pine Hills.
I posted last week about a man who ran over another after following the victim’s wife home due to road rage. The police received a call into a tip line, which led to the arrest of a suspect, a man by the name of Dontae Styles.
It turns out that Mr. Styles is pretty well known to Central Florida police. In just Seminole and Orange counties, he has 1 felony arrest, 4 misdemeanor arrests, and 19 traffic tickets in the past 2 and a half years since his 18th birthday.
Most interesting is a felony arrest from April of last year, where he was caught on a woman’s dash camera pointing a gun at her in traffic on Interstate 4. Why? Because she wouldn’t get out of the left lane when he wanted to pass. Even though the incident was caught on video, prosecutors dropped the charges because the case wasn’t “suitable for prosecution.”
In one of the misdemeanor cases from January 2019, police were investigating a motorcycle with defaced tags when Mr. Styles jumped on the bike and attempted to drive away. During that investigation, Mr. Styles admitted that he purposely covers his plates to avoid being caught by police. Charges were dropped because the case wasn’t suitable for prosecution.
Ticket after ticket with a common theme. Speeding, running red lights, no insurance, expired tags, wrong tag on the vehicle, driving while license suspended. In every single case, there would be a fine and perhaps a suspension of his license, which he plainly ignores and continues driving.
Then when he is finally arrested, prosecutors drop the charges because they aren’t suitable for prosecution. Even when he is caught on camera.
All in all, since he turned 18, Dontae has been a one man crime spree. He has shown that he carries a firearm, and now he has advanced to the point where he will kill you if you get in his way. So far, not one prosecutor or judge has seen fit to toss his criminal black ass in jail, but we constantly hear about how black men don’t get a fair shake in court.
A county judge from Texas has invited Disney World to move to Texas. For reasons that we have already discussed, the biggest of which is the $12-25 billion price tag, Disney World isn’t going anywhere. The newest hotel (Star Cruiser) just cost Disney $1 billion alone.
It doesn’t surprise me that this judge would take this position. He is, after all, a Democrat. As we are all now aware, the Democratic party is the party of child molesters and communists. If the Republicans can’t use this issue to capture the soccer moms, they deserve to vanish into history.
Speaking of history, I promised you all more Central Florida Disney history.
Back in the late 60’s, Walt Disney wanted to build a larger theme park than the one he had built in California. Not only did he want a theme park, he wanted to build a futuristic city that would be a technological Utopia, with a dome protecting the residents from the weather and allowing a perfect environment.
The problem was that he needed to buy land for low prices. As soon as people found out it was him buying land, he reasoned, prices would skyrocket. So he hired two shady men: Paul Helliwell, who ran CIA operations in Southeast Asia, and William “Wild Bill” Donovan, head of the World War II spy organization that eventually became the CIA. Together, they hatched a plan that would give Disney total control over the legal environment of his new project.
First, Donovan and his law firm created numerous shell corporations through which large amounts of property could be purchased. A disinformation campaign kept the locals from determining that it was really the Disney company that was buying large tracts of land. Disney was correct about keeping it secret. As soon as people found out that it was him buying the land, the price per acre became 1,000 times higher, going from $80 to $80,000 an acre within weeks.
Disney needed to make sure that he had control over every aspect of the project: building codes, taxes, everything. So CIA spy Paul Helliwell did what he had already done in Southeast Asia: Create a shadow government. They created phantom cities where the property was located, installed a compliant government and proceeded to make their own rules.
This is what allows things like Disney’s policy preventing medics from declaring people dead. It allows Disney to collect taxes from Hotels located in the area, and the tax money funds Disney operations in a completely tax free (for Disney) way.
RCID pays the Orange County Sheriff’s office $8.5 million a year to provide law enforcement within its jurisdiction. On top of that, the theme park pays $5.6 million a year to pay individual deputies $40 an hour to act as security guards in the park. They wear their department issued uniform, carry a department issued firearm and radio, drive their taxpayer issued patrol car, and are paid by the department that they work for. The theme park then pays their department for the service. Depending on the situation, they are considered to be security guards or police.
If they want to search you but don’t have a warrant or probable cause, they are security guards. If they ask you a question and you lie, they are then cops and you have broken the law. If you resist them in any way, they are cops. They get to have things however it works out best for them. As this great grandmother found out, when Disney security searched her bags as a part of a security check and she was arrested for having CBD oil. The charges were later dropped, but this illustrates the problem I have with cops as security. They can search you, and you have no constitutional protections. But let them find something illegal, and they instantly can use the fruits of what would otherwise be an unconstitutional search and arrest you.
The federal government has been spending money on research intended to support gun control. What they found is not surprising. They discovered that rural children have access to guns, with one in six rural ‘children’ claiming that they have carried a gun before age 26. This is twice the rate that urban young people admit carrying guns.
In a post from 2013, I showed that 53% of US homicides occurred in cities with populations of over 100,000. Urban areas. Now cities of that size are where 28% of the US population lives. When homicide statistics are combined with the results of the above study, we can see that in places where a person is twice as likely to be carrying a gun, a person’s chances of being a homicide victim are much lower.
That is what is known as negative correlation. That is, as the rate of firearm possession increases, the chances of being a victim of homicide decreases. To put it more simply, more guns mean fewer homicides.
Haven’t those of us who oppose gun control been saying that for several decades?
On a side note, what are researchers doing asking children in the sixth grade to report on whether or not mommy and daddy have guns in the house? Yet another mark against leftist educators.
A second side note. The website that published this article is a website dedicated to physics. What dis this study have to do with physics? Isn’t this more in the realm of sociology?
While the J6 protesters rot in prison awaiting trials for what is essentially trespassing, the BLM rioters are getting millions in lawsuits against the police.
A man in St Louis tried to carjack two police officers who were in a marked police vehicle. Not only that, but he had a pending trial for domestic assault and for violating an order of protection. Those two charges mean that it is against Federal law for him to have a firearm in his possession. Slam dunk, right? Not if the prosecutor refuses to press charges.
The left would have us believe that they support gun control because it will eliminate crime. They know it won’t, because they have no intention of enforcing any laws against actual criminals. No, laws today are aimed squarely at YOU. They know that law abiding citizens will do what they always do: obey the law. The criminals will do what they always do: ignore the law.
Isn’t it time for all of us to realize that our laws have nothing to do with justice?
