THE FOUR RULES

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

Winston Churchill said
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
Si Vis Paceum Para Bellum

Sam Adams, more than beer

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen”
Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power

"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

Death sentence for trespassing

Homeless veteran 'basically baked to death' at Rikers Island while being held on trespassing charge

A city official told The Associated Press that the incident, which happened last month, involved a 56-year-old inmate named Jerome Murdough, who police found in a housing project stairwell and brought to Rikers Island jail.



 Alma Murdough is demanding answers after ex-Marine son Jerome (far r.) died of extreme heat at Rikers.


I was a Marine. Does that mean I'm already sentenced to death? I did not personally know Jerome, but there is a chance that are paths crossed when we were both Marines. At the least, or boots walked the same dirt. The Marine Corps isn't all that big. Even though his skin is a different color than mine, he was still my brother. The idiots in charge need to be charge with his murder. He was supposed to be checked on every 15 minutes and yet it was hours before they found him. Sentenced to death for trespassing. 


Semper Fi Jerome. Hopefully there will be justice for you. 

Officer Safety

See the rest here.

Here in Des Moines, we still have a pretty decent police force. Two of them beat a guy and his woman for DWB (driving while black) and were fired and tried and convicted of civil rights violation. So far so good. I'm sure it helps that we aren't considered a prime terrorist target. I generally support the police as long as they do the job they are supposed to do. But when they malfunction, I'll be one of the first to get in their shit. I've never been afraid of calling a spade a spade.

 These cities that are turning their police into quasi-military units are paying for it with the loss of rights and a fear of their own police. They get what they vote for and I have no sympathy for them. Look at the Watertown fiasco last year. people afraid to leave their houses and allowing warrantless searches of their homes in the name of safety. That's what they want they are welcome to it. I'd rather have Reid and Malloy and be a little less safe than to give up my liberty and have these armed thugs walking the streets, killing our dogs and violating our rights. Claiming protection under "qualified immunity". The sad part, we're not going to vote our way out of this. It's way past time for that. Party quit meaning anything years ago. They are all tyrants want to control everything you do. Thankfully, there are patriots in New York and Connecticut telling the government no. No registration, no confiscation.

There is going to come a time, probably sooner than we think, where we are going to have to start dealing with the bad cops. People like "I am the Master" Vance shows what is becoming wrong with our police forces. They have strayed from "support and defend the Constitution" to everything for officer safety and collateral damage be damned. People like the copper in Connecticut that would give his left nut to kick in your door.

One of the Founders ( Thomas Paine) said, "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace;" . I agree, as much as I don't like the thought. I want my grandsons to be free.
