The headline reads “Former FHP trooper arrested after having sex with 15 year old, officials say”

If you read the article, he was not terminated until AFTER the relationship had been ongoing for almost a year. To the press: Do your job.

So that burglar from last summer that was caught on my security cameras? He pled guilty to something, but the last I saw was a motion from his attorney to make the court record confidential. Now there is no visible record of what he pled to, or what his punishment was.

We have broad public records laws here in Florida so citizens are aware of what their government is doing. Apparently our courts don’t want us knowing that someone can be caught breaking into 4 and attempting to break into 6 more automobiles, stealing a firearm, stealing a car, and setting the community mail boxes on fire and not get any punishment, so they seal the records.

The Pulse nightclub shooting has been getting mentioned a lot during the gun control debate that has been reintroduced into American politics as of late. I want to revisit a post I had thought about publishing at the time, because I want to illustrate the hypocrisy that is evident here.

Less than 2 months prior to the shooting, there was a Muslim cleric from Iran who gave a speech at Sanford’s Husseini Islamic Center. This cleric was reported by WFTV’s channel 9 news as saying that homosexuality’s only cure is death. Look at the video of the report:

After the shooting, this became news and the Islamic center’s staff went to the press and vehemently denied the allegations that they had anything to do with the shooting or the shooter himself.

The connection between the speaker, the Islamic faith, the Husseini Islamic center, and the shooting were promptly sent to the memory hole. After all, we can’t blame an entire religion for the acts of one deranged madman, can we? The speaker for the Islamic center was taken at his word.

Yet, the religious connection to this shooting having been forgotten has no bearing on how gun owners are being vilified and derided based on the actions of one person. In the furtherance of gun control, it appears that you CAN blame a large group of people for the acts of one person.

Here is a funny math meme:
What is 230-220 x 0.5?

You won’t believe this, but the answer is 5!

‘It’s easy! All I gotta do is walk my dog around, and look for him to change his behavior slightly, and then we can go inside and sometimes we’ll find a million dollars and then we can seize it!’


Read the whole thing

A man was released from jail after serving 25 years for homicide and robbery. Six days later, he went on a rampage, during which he stabbed two family members and then confronted arriving deputies with a shotgun. The deputies successfully rehabilitated him.

Again, proof that shooting criminals greatly reduces the recidivism rate.

A 17 year old is shot and killed in Florida. His death will certainly be used to further the aims of gun control groups. He was killed by a 16 year old while conducting a drug deal.

To recap:
– it is illegal to commit murder
– it is illegal for 16 year olds to possess guns
– it is illegal for anyone to possess guns while dealing drugs
– it is illegal to possess drugs
– it is illegal to sell drugs

but making it illegal for people who are adults, don’t buy and sell drugs, and don’t commit murder is the answer.

We keep hearing how AR 15s are only good for killing large groups of people in a short time, and are no good for self defense, but what if your home is being attacked by four armed criminals? A 61 year old homeowner discovered the answer when he was attacked by four armed home invaders.

In this case, a man who lives in Summerfield, Florida saw a man that he recognized from a recent Craiglist sale attempting to enter his house and told him to leave. An hour later, the man returned with three accomplices. The four were armed with a handgun, two shotguns, and a BB gun.

The homeowner was awakened by the sound of his front door being kicked in, and grabbed an AR 15 to investigate. When he entered the dining area, he was confronted with a man wearing a “Jason” mask and wielding a handgun. The homeowner doesn’t remember who fired first, but a gunfight ensued. When that firefight was over, the thug in the dining room was found dead with a handgun next to his body, a second man was found wounded in the front yard, lying next to a shotgun, and the 61 year old homeowner was found lying in his bedroom with a gunshot wound to his abdomen.

Police searched the area and found a second shotgun in the yard, along with a VW sedan with its front doors left open (apparently belonging to the dead guy in the dining room), and two more miscreants hiding in the bushes.

This also shows that, even if you are shot, keep putting lead downrange. You aren’t out of the fight until you can’t return fire.
