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.
Crime
Gun Control is the Answer
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?
Disney Pedos
Disney loves Pedos
Miguel over at Gunfreezone points out that Disney’s opposition to the anti grooming bill is because some of their employees are child predators. This isn’t anything new. I first blogged about that fifteen years ago, when Disney announced that employees being arrested for child porn would not be fired until they were convicted of a crime because they were entitled to due process, but summarily fired employees caught with weapons in their vehicles.
Disney thinks that it is A-OK for its employees to rape children, but draws the line at their employees being legally in possession of firearms. It happens so often that I set up an entire category for it.

Two Justice Systems
I was going to post on this later in the week, but JKB over at Gunfreezone beat me to it, albeit from a different angle. A Dunkin’ employee killed someone because that person called him the so-called “n word.”
In this case, the 77 year old white man received a sentence of death for daring to use that sort of language. The 27 year old black man, so threatened by the use of an unkind word, committed a battery upon the elderly citizen. That’s right, an old man received a death sentence for using mean words. I want to mention that the article also revealed that the 77 year old victim was a convicted sex offender. Since the killer had no way of knowing that, I don’t think it was germane to the story.
For this crime, the black man was permitted to plea to felony battery. OK, I am on board with this, so far. The death was an unintentional side effect of a young, fit man punching an old man. Here is where the justice system fails:
The sentence in the case was for 200 hours of community service and two years of house arrest. He will have to stay at home, unless he is at work or church. The prosecutor had this to say:
“Two of the primary factors were the aggressive approach the victim took toward the defendant and everyone working with the defendant, and that the victim repeatedly used possibly the most aggressive and offensive term in the English language,” Kamm told the newspaper.
We constantly hear about so called “white privilege.” Now name one thing that a black man can say that will allow a white man to kill him. Contrast this with the Kyle Rittenhouse case, or the George Zimmerman case. In both of those cases, the one who did the killing was engaged in self defense from an actual attack instead of meting out punishment for the mere use of a word.
You know, the word that is used every day by rappers and other assorted “people of color.” However, if this “magic word” is uttered a single time by a white person, it can be used as an excuse for anything that a black person does for him, even if the word was uttered decades ago and the black person didn’t even hear the white person say the word.
There are now two justice systems in this country. One for straight, white males, and one for everyone else. Yes, Vonelle Cook was a sex offender with multiple convictions for having sex with 15 and 16 year old children, so I don’t mourn his passing. At the same time, the killer in this case wasn’t aware of that, so I don’t see that it was at all pertinent to what happened here. Nope, Vonelle Cook proved that you can be cancelled for using the wrong word.

Just Give Them What They Want
A man robbed a Best Western hotel in Orlando. During the robbery, he stabbed the clerk.
Those who oppose gun ownership and self defense frequently say that we don’t need to have guns for self defense, because all we need to do is give them what they want and they won’t hurt us. After all, they are just poor people who need money to feed their families.
But what if they aren’t just someone trying to feed their kids? What if what they want is to kill you? What if they are a violent feral yard ape who enjoys hurting people and the money is just a bonus?
Instead, punch his ticket. Preferably several times. Shoot the asshole until he is no longer a threat. Don’t take chances. I’m sick of reading this shit.

Song Lyrics
There are many in the self defense community who say you shouldn’t have certain types of firearm accessories, shouldn’t use certain symbols on firearm accessories, shouldn’t, shouldn’t, because it will be used to make you look bad in court.
Whatever. A prosecutor will use anything that he can. An example is the trial of the critter in the school shooting that occurred in Parkland Florida back in 2018. The prosecutor in that case is using the lyrics from a song that the shooter listened to before the shooting as evidence of his mindset.
In my opinion, this is a First Amendment issue. Using a song, a stupid cliche, or any other item should not be used against you. Having a dustcover that says “Smile and Wait For the Flash” doesn’t change the circumstances of the shoot and neither does listening to a song, but prosecutors are gonna do what the courts let them get away with.

Thief of Air BNB
A man calling himself the “wolf of airbnb” is taking advantage of New York’s eviction moratorium to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. He signs a lease for an apartment, and then simply doesn’t pay the rent. He then lists the apartment on AirBNB, renting it at a profit.
When the property owners finally attempt to evict him, he avoids service of process, sometimes for months. Then he claims hardship. All of this ties up these apartments for months, all while he is illegally renting them out. He is making hundreds of thousands in profit. He owes roughly $450,000 in rent dating to at least February 2020. Even worse, the owners of the property are the ones being fined by the city for running illegal AirBNB operations.
He calls himself a “wolf” because he says he is hungry and ruthless enough to get on top of the financial ladder. I call him a thief. He doesn’t know what ruthless is. One can only hope that he pulls this with the wrong landlord, and that person sends cousin Vito over there to explain to him what ruthless really is.

You Can’t Lock Up Only One
Nikolas Cruz has been found guilty of the Parkland school shooting that killed 17 high school students. The defense is trying to argue that only one of Cruz’s multiple personalities committed the shooting.
Who cares? We can’t sentence only one personality while all of them live in one body.
I’m against the death penalty. Not in theory, but because I don’t trust cops and prosecutors not to lie and rig the game.
I still think Cruz should go to prison for the rest of his life. No parole.

Protecting Criminals
I know that many of us talk about how the government seems to be protecting criminals. In New York, that has become quite literally what is happening. The city has established the country’s first “overdose prevention center” where medical professionals oversee and assist people in administering illegal drugs to themselves.
The people behind it say- and I’m not kidding- that this is based upon science. They are saving lives, don’t you know.
I wonder what science will discover next. Perhaps they will declare that the police need to escort thieves into your home, so that thieves don’t have to risk working and stealing in an unsafe environment. Think of the lives they will save.
