Government

Goodbye, Annie

Just when I thought we were able to get away from the “cops abusing authority” trope. A cop was assisting the sheriff’s department with a call about an unpaid child support complaint, when he noticed a deer that local residents had been feeding. When the deer approached the officer and allowed him to pat its head, he took it upon himself to declare that it was a domesticated wild animal, declared that it was illegal, and then proceeded to pin the deer to the ground, pulled out his service weapon, and shot the deer in the head. In full view of horrified children that had considered the deer to be their friend.

Pokagon Band Tribal Police released a statement saying it was arresting a suspect at the same property when the deer was “euthanized”. That is copspeak for “he was following our nonexistent procedures, and we are whitewashing the entire thing.”

In summary, a “bad” cop does something illegal that he would gladly arrest anyone else for. Other cops witness this, standing there with their hands in their pockets. The “good cops” whitewash the entire thing and expect us to “back the blue.”

A Few Errors Here

Kudos to the 14 year old girl that had the presence of mind to collect her 4 year old sister, her dog, and then escaped the house when a man broke in to their home while holding a stolen shotgun. There are some lessons to be learned here:

  • The man got the shotgun after earlier breaking into a different house, hitting the woman who lives there, and taking it from her. If you don’t have the guts to USE a firearm when it is clearly indicated, you shouldn’t own a firearm.
  • No one in this case pressed charges because they want him to “get the help that he needs.” There is no help that will fix this guy’s problem- dementia. This guy will get out of the hospital in a few days and be free to do this again. Maybe he kills someone next time.

A dude breaks into your house. You have a gun. Shoot him. If you don’t, then both of you have a gun, then eventually, HE has a gun. How would you feel, knowing that the guy hit you, stole your gun, then killed two little girls with it?

Sudafed

The Federal government forced drug companies to restrict drugs that contain pseudoephedrine because people are using it to make meth. People still have no problems making meth, but now I can’t get decent decongestants.

Then they listed phenylephrine as the new hotness for congestion, but it doesnt work for shit. The only way to get real Sudafed is to show ID and be tracked.

Now the FDA is questioning the effectiveness of the new drug that they are forcing you to buy, so CVS is pulling it from the shelves. This is what government does.

We Already Knew That

Natalee Holloway disappeared in 2005 while on a trip to Aruba. Her body was never found, and she was finally declared dead in 2012. She was seen leaving the bar with a 17 year old who was politically connected to his father, a judge. Largely because of those connections, he walked. Shades of Hunter Biden and Chelsea Clinton, there.

The douche even admitted on video to disposing of her body and posted it on social media. He contacted the Holloway family and offered to give them the location of her body in exchange for money. Enter the incompetents at the FBI. The paid him the ransom in exchange for what they knew was false information, and then let him leave the country with the $25,000 in payoff money.

What finally tripped him up is when he murdered another girl who found information about the Holloway murder on his laptop in 2014, and he murdered her. He was caught and sentenced to 28 years in Peruvian prison.

Now it turns out that he has pled guilty to extortion and the murder of Holloway in exchange for a lighter sentence. He got another 20 years added to the 28 he is already going to serve for the murder in Peru, and another 18 he got for smuggling cocaine into the Peruvian prison. However, Peruvian law prohibits any jail term of over 35 years, so he will be released in 2045. His plea deal says that the time he serves in Peru will also count as time served in the US.

So to sum things up- plead guilty to the murder of two women, smuggle cocaine into prison, and use the evidence of one of the murders to extort money from the FBI gets you a total of 35 years in prison. Now contrast that with the 33 years that prosecutors wanted for Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs for his role in the J6 protests.

Teens and Consent

I agree with Fenix Ammunition on this one.

The law on this really sucks. If a 12-17 year old comes to the hospital, we are legally not permitted to discuss anything involving reproductive health with anyone that the patient (child) hasn’t permitted, including the patient’s parents.

It gets even more confusing. Let’s say that a 17 year old girl is involved in a car accident. Let’s look at a few scenarios:

  • Being a minor, she legally cannot refuse medical treatment and must be transported to the hospital, even over her own objections.
  • If she is pregnant, she can refuse care because the car accident can affect the unborn child, so she is considered to be an adult
  • If she has a baby in the car but is not pregnant, she can refuse medical care for the baby, because she is the child’s mother, but she cannot refuse care for herself because she is a minor

This is what happens when the government gets involved in anything. They always make it muddier and more screwed up than it needs to be.

Three Times is Enemy Action

As I reported earlier, there is now a shortage in the ammunition market. The old saying goes: Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action. This shortage is therefore looking like it’s being caused by government fiat. In the past month:

We know that Biden said more than a year ago that he wants to cut off ammunition sales to the public. He tried last year to cut off the funding to the plant, but was stopped by Congress. So, it appears that he is trying a new tactic.

Mr Guns and Gear has some information on this:

This is not the end. Expect things to accelerate. I think that 2024 is going to be a rough ride.
