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.
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.

Will they get the guns before the Depression that makes 1929 look like a Sunday afternoon in the park?
Count on the Grand Old Politburo to fold up like a hecho en China Dollar Store lawn chair.

You know what he looks like and so does everyone else.

Oh, no! A black man? I kept waiting, “knowing” all along. Finally, in the last paragraph, there it was. 🙂
But only four felonies at once. He’s a piker, unless we give him points for those priors.
I’m disappointed, however. The news report didn’t say if he holds his Glock sideways or vertically.

Is there a section of the federal government that scrubs the internet of things that aren’t part of the approved narrative?
FYI hard to turn my vpn off to post

Lol. I can’t post here under my VPN either. I haven’t figured out why yet.
BobF · November 19, 2022 at 3:04 pm
Interesting. Mine is on all the time.

Yeah I get a 503 or 404 error unless I have my VPN turned off

I’ve never had a problem connecting here to comment with the VPN on but I have noticed that some web sites have a problem allowing connections with *some* VPNs. My VPN is set to randomize the server with each connection, so If I click “disconnect” then “reconnect” I’ll connect through a different physical VPN server and that usually allows the previously disallowed connection. I’m assuming it’s something different about the IP protocols in that particular server session the web site I”m trying to connect has a problem with. I have gotten “this IP address has exceeded its free connections” sometimes when I follow an Insty link, so it might be an IP logging issue at the web site.

I’m able to post also….. using ExpressVPN as I type

Something funky was going on today with my VPN. After a while, all of my internet was blocked with the VPN on. I had to restart the laptop to fix it. I wonder if my FBI watcher had trouble too…..

My family and I live 40 miles south of this. Northern Virginia is a *hitshow, invaded by the .gov. I should leave, but just can’t do it. My family has been here since the 1600s.
