A violent street gang in Missouri named after our current sitting president.

Pulling your leg? Nope. I'm not.

Just one of a number of news articles, blog articles etc...covering this news.  Yes boys and girls...a group of violent thugs that love our president so much they named their gang after him. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy don't it?
*headdesk, headdesk, headdesk*   Ow.

If you'll excuse me I need to go take some Excedrin and drink some pepto.

Weep for the future boys and girls.

Black Culture is fubar'd

*warning...foul language to ensue


when it consistently produces little fuckers like the following..
6 black teenage girls beat 48yr mentally challenged woman..for FUN.

Then the stupid little cunts posted it to their facebook page. *facepalm* 

All sorts of people are always bemoaning the dismal abyss that is most black culture.  They blame it on whitey...they pull the SODDI[Some Other Dude Did It] defense, but they never look in the mirror because after all...they can't POSSIBLY be responsible for their own actions can they? *snort*
Blame the parents[measure of truth], blame the welfare system[to which there is actually a measure of truth] blame popular black culture...again to which there is a measure of truth] but never blame yourself for your own actions.  Sorry that shit don't float with me.  You did the crime..you will fucking well do the time. Lets look at popular black culture. Got rappers out there talking about "bitches ain't shit", "go get my money bitch" "you ain't nothing but a ho now suck my dick bitch", "Imma pop a cap in yo ass you dispect me nigga" and on and on and on.  Got idiots out there glorifying a "cultural fashion" that is the very height of ignorance and stupidity. Leaving your pants hanging down and your underwear and ass showing.  You stupid bastards and bitches DO know where that started right?  It came from the men's prison system. It was a signal to other inmates that you were how shall we say...available?  In other words you were willing to drop to your knees and suck that cock and bend over, drop your pants and take it up the ass!  It STILL means that.   You've got a government that encourages people to not work, pop out babies so they can get government assistance for themselves and the babies..SSI, Food Stamps, Welfare, etc and let the government take care of you from cradle to grave so long as you vote to keep the people in office that give you that largesse by taking it from people who actually WORKED for that money.   True story. Neighbor of mine is football coach for one of the local youth leagues that keep kids off the street...or try to anyway.  He's the only father figure most of these kids[mostly black] have to look up to. He's a good guy. He was telling me the other day that he's got a set of brothers in league, on his team. Their mommy...has 6 kids. the 2 brothers by one day, two kids by another daddy, 2 kids by another daddy and 7th kid in the oven by yet ANOTHER daddy. She doesn't work, the government pays for her housing{section 8...look it up] the government from month to  month covers her cell phone, her house phone and utilities in part or in full. She's got food stamps for all the kids and welfare checks and supposedly child support for some of the kids. She doesn't work, doesn't have a job at all, drives a 2010.Lexus LX suv...and $80,000 truck I might add and pulls down about $75,000 a year with all the welfare programs.  These are the people "raising" those multiple generations of thugs and criminals.

You can blame the government for part of this for the government encourages this kind of behavior...so long as these people keep voting for the politicians who distribute this money[all democrats by the way] the politicians will keep the money flowing.  It's a gravy train life for the people ON the welfare train and a guaranteed VOTE for the politicians who keep the train rolling

Next time some tells you it's "all whiteys fault, because of slavery" or whatever the excuse du juor in their case is..  Look them in the face and say "you want to know where the true problem lies?  Go look in a goddamn mirror."

OMG we're all gonna DIIIEEEE!!!.....

Or...as it's otherwise known..Globull Warming is in the headlines again. That's right the proponents of my favorite crop of crap...are trying to make you get back jack.
 ..

LONDON (Reuters) —More than 100 million people will die and global economic growth will be cut by 3.2 per cent of gross domestic product by 2030 if the world fails to tackle climate change, a report commissioned by 20 governments said on Wednesday.
As global average temperatures rise due to greenhouse gas emissions, the effects on the planet, such as melting ice caps, extreme weather, drought and rising sea levels, will threaten populations and livelihoods, said the report conducted by humanitarian organization DARA.

It calculated that five million deaths occur each year from air pollution, hunger and disease as a result of climate change and carbon-intensive economies, and that toll would likely rise to six million a year by 2030 if current patterns of fossil fuel use continue.

More than 90 per cent of those deaths will occur in developing countries, said the report that calculated the human and economic impact of climate change on 184 countries in 2010 and 2030. It was commissioned by the Climate Vulnerable Forum, a partnership of 20 developing countries threatened by climate change.

“A combined climate-carbon crisis is estimated to claim 100 million lives between now and the end of the next decade,” the report said."


Somewhere over a 100 million people?   Really? Hell considering the way some people in some parts of the world breed like blowfly maggots proliferate in rotting meat...there should be what? Somewhere  north of 8 billion or so people by that point?  100 million people between now and then is barely a statistical blip on my radar.  barely over 1% of the population.   Call me when it gets to 50% of the world in less than a decade and show me actual hard scientific evidence and then MAYBE I'll believe you. Until then...why don't you silly "people are raping and killing gaia and are the problem" people call Al Gore?  I'm sure if you ask him nicely he'll go right to his barn, jump on his pegasus/unicorn crossbreed  and fly the world having the hybrid shit a nice cooling nitro/ o2 mix in a rainbow of colors and save the world. Hell not only will it be rainbow colored but taste like all the flavors in a skittles box. That being said he'd better convince that equine bastard to shit out some peppermint flavored candy air or I'm gonna get all butt hurt and shit, because that will mean that Algore doesn't truly care about me.   *snort*

My new favorite facepalm...

 Facepalm Awesomeness

Welcome to New York City...

Where Hey...you aren't allowed to buy a drink over 16oz in a fast food restaurant, can't own a gun, can't even...like most school districts with their "zero tolerance" policies bring and carry your own prescribed meds.
Student damn near dies because school nurse won't give him inhaler

But guess what? Your child can get pregnant and go to the school nurse for the "morning after" pill to prevent pregnancy..
Are you fucking kidding me? Uhmmm...nope.


Ayup...in NYC your teenage daughter can have unprotected sex and then if she fears a pregnancy go to the school nurse for the morning after pill. Gotta keep the girls from dropping out because they got pregnant, don't ya know?   *FACEPALM!*   Here's a novel concept...raise your kids right, be there for them...teach them that waiting and not giving into those hormonal urges is the better idea and there might not be a problem. Or at the very least tell them to use protection, and ram this into your girl child's skull. "a stiff dick has no conscience."  Also...grand so you can get birth control pills and the morning after pill from your school.  So you feel free to have sex with any boy that wants it...NOT.  Just because you're ON the pill doesn't protect you from STD's!
 This shit is NOT the schools job, it's not the GOVERNMENTS job...it's the parents job. 

"But, but Wolf....do you want a bunch of pregnant teens running around?'

No numbnuts...I'd rather they not be having sex that young!

I'm going to sound preachy but this, this...well the news orgs would call it an epidemic..I refuse to;  huge upswing in teen pregnancies is to my mind due to the break down of the family, the ignoring of, or holding in contempt of "morals" and a profound lack of common sense. The latter of which as it regards teenagers is somewhat of an oxymoron since many of them can't think beyond the next cool vid game, the newest fashions, the latest movie and are all infected with a massive case of raging hormones.

I don't know...maybe as some of my friends say...young girls should be implanted with a beneath the skin birth control/pregnancy inhibiting drug as soon as they hit puberty.  It stays til they hit 18 and leave the home or later.  Which was a scenario in one of my favorite sci fi novels.  Yeah yeah...as a matter of fact that IS a sense of massive frustration talking.

This is one of those subjects that drives me nuts.

I've been sitting here off and on, going through old posts...damn.  It's scary how accurate in my assessment I was.  of what was to come if obummer got the nod and then won the election. 'Wolf...your posts don't go back THAT far'.  Check the archives for november of 2011.  I ported over a bunch of posts from 2007-2009 from a different blog I used to write at...before I switched to this one for my political and current events type writing.

Dogs getting another bad rap...

City fathers are frackin morons!

Yes they're contemplating banning dogs from a 10 block area, because DOGS are the whole reason that area is economically depressed. *headdesk, headdesk*  I will grant you that anyone who leaves their dog tied up to a parking meter for any significant amount of time is a Grade A Asshole.  I'll even grant you that these same assholes NOT picking up after their dogs is rude.  However...that is NOT you're main problem in this area. According to the various articles, including this one...several people have said flat out...'you want the area to get better...get rid of all the crime north of us, stupid'.

This is among the  types  gross stupidity and asininity that makes me want to hurt people.  By beating their heads against a wall to TRY and beat some common freakin sense into their thick skulls.

*facepalm*

Now on a similar thought vein to yesterday.  Pit Bulls. Love em...they are by and large big, goofy lovable idiots.  I've only ever seen a few mean ones and I've met plenty of pits.  A neighbor who lives next door to me right now has 2. Male and female. The female is...alas..a vicious bitch.  The male is just a big idiot.

The lady who lived in that same house years ago had two pits, a malte mix of some kind and a sheperd mix.. both of the pits were big idiots. The female was the bigger idiot. She outmassed the male by about 30lbs. OTOH the male WAS a mix soo..*shrug*  She wasn't just the bigger idiot because she outweighed the male...she used to jump the fence to come over for attention and love while her owner was at work and what not.  True story....One day we heard a noise outside.."my dad said.."is that stupid bitch out there again?"   Ayup...she was...bleeding all over the patio.  She'd jumped THROUGH the big bay window in the backyard of her owners house and then jumped the fence to come over for a visit. She'd sliced herself open from chest to damn near her pelvis and was wagging her tail as she bled out.  My mom got the silly bitch to the vet she works for...who cleaned her up and stitched her up.  We brought her home and helped the owner watch over her for the next several weeks while the cut healed. Trying to keep the big idiot from ripping her stitches. Not a vicious bone in that dogs body. Was she protective of the owner? oh yeah...but she really was a big happy go lucky idiot.

People keep suggesting you make it illegal to own or breed pits. Hell some think the breed should be irradicated.  Uhmmmm they said the same thing about Doberman's, Sheperds and Rottweilers...why does anyone need a dog like that?  Because they like the breed?  Here's the problem with breed specific legislation....once you start down that road of idiotic logic, where does it stop?  People shouldn't be allowed to own them because their dangerous? Or people in cities should be allowed to own breeds that were used for hunting etc?  uhmmm Hello......ANY dog can be dangerous. Irish Wolfhounds and Scottish Deerhounds were bred from running down game and hunting wolves. Mastiffs have been used to hunt BEARS...yeah wrap your brain around that one.  But were originally some of them, bred to hunt and track Poachers, ..which is an even more dangerous game. The rest were bred for war and protection. Protection of people and livestock.  The 3 breeds known commonly called "sled dogs", Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky, and Samoyed?  Weren't just used for transport muscle...again they also were used to hunt BEARS. [again...wrap your brains around that one] Terriers were bred for hunting everything from mice, to weasels to badgers. Sheepdogs...bred for herding sheep and protecting them from predators...like wolves. ETc Etc ad nauseum.

So seriously...if you start down that road of illogic, WHERE, pray tell me does it end?   Don't ban the breed. Get everyone and their mother to STOP FUCKING BREEDING THEM FOR A QUICK BUCK!  Case in point...that neighbor that lives next door now?  His bitch just had puppies. what's he gonna do? Sell em.  His brother lived in the house before him...his brother had a female that got pregnant more often than I care to think about and he sold the puppies.  To people like that it's all about the money.  I swear,, loudly and fucking profanely...that every health problem in almost any breed you care to name was because a breed became popular in modern times and was bred by everyone and their mother for a quick buck. Then half the fucking idiots who bought whatever breed it might have been; at least among the larger breeds; discovered how much WORK it was and either dumped them in the street or dumped them in a pound where with any luck they end up adopted out, but more often than not get put to sleep.  Have you ever stopped to think about why there are so many breed specific rescue groups?  the entirety of this paragraph is the answer to that question.

And people have the nerve to wonder why I hold the bulk of humanity in contempt and prefer the company of my dogs to most people. *snort*

One more tidbit. My mom works for a Vet. She will tell you, HE will tell you and so will many of the Vets they know...that they muzzle more goddamn Chihuahuas, than they do Pit Bulls. Matter of fact most of the dogs they muzzle are Chihuahua's.

Peace in the Middle East= mass grave

 What?! What?! What?! I can hear some readers exclaiming.

Hush, sit and READ the following links..

U.S. Embassy in Cairo besieged

Wait it gets better....
U.S. Consulate Employee Killed in Libya when consulate attacked and set on fire



Honestly?  If I thought the stupid bastards would stay over there, indulge in their 12th century barbarism and kill each other off, while leaving us alone..I'd say...pull everything out and leave them to their fate.  They won't...they like to export their stupidity.  Besides...abandoning Israel is bad for business and international relations and treaties.  
"but we have treaties!"
'INK on a PAGE!'
A quote from my favorite TV series of all time.

So yeah we'll stay. Frankly outside of our agreements and treaties with Israel...most of the ones we have in regards to the middle east aren't worth the paper their written on.

Anyway....we'll stay.


Which is fine and dandy so long as they fear us. Or at least respect us.  Which, unfortunately they don't. They hold us in contempt.  Proved that when they attacked the embassies today.  It's not surprising with The Biggest "ass kissing" Apologist President of all time, currently holding office in the White House.

You truly have to love the State Departments statement regarding the embassy in Cairo. You really do..

"The US embassy earlier issued a statement condemning "the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims - as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions".
The statement added: "We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."


*FACEPALM!*  ow.


Helloooo...unless of course those religious beliefs are Jewish or Christian in nature.  Why it the only adherents to get upset over insults and burn things and kill people in this day and age is the "Religion of Peace"?  No..I'm not excusing other religions from their own episodes of stupidity in history but they grew up.  the Religion of Peace at the moment is the only who kills people for speaking their minds and/or making fun of their messiah?

"I want 50 legion of Sardukar on Arrakis at once!"
'but Sir, that's our entire reserves as well'
"this is Genocide! The deliberate and systematic destruction of ALL LIFE on Arrakis!"


It's the way I feel about the Middle East. in moments like this....and on the Anniversary of the Attacks on 9/11 to boot. Geez what gall.

11yrs. Never Forget. Never Forgive

 EDIT. 9/11/2012:  I originally wrote this back in 2010.  So I've edited as to time period for this new anniversary. Other than that..I haven't changed a blessed thing.-  Wolfie

It  11 years ago, as of today that some 3,000 innocent souls were snuffed out by 19 jihadists in 2 planes crashing into the Twin Towers of the WTC. Some this day will post videos that have been made as a memorial, some will post a roll call of the fallen. Me..I'll just point out that it's been 11yrs and the cancer still eats at our world. We aren't finished yet and may not be in a long train of years to come. This thought does not give me comfort, it doesn't give me pleasure.

I will give you the words of Kipling this day...

Recessional by Rudyard Kipling

God of our fathers, known of old --
Lord of our far-flung battle line --
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine --
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget -- lest we forget!

The tumult and the shouting dies --
The Captains and the Kings depart --
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget -- lest we forget!

Far-called our navies melt away --
On dune and headland sinks the fire --
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget -- lest we forget!

If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe --
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the Law --
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget -- lest we forget!

For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard --
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not Thee to guard.
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord!
Amen.

Never Forget
Never Forgive


Edit 16hrs later:

I woke up early this morning and forgot, for all of about the 10mins it took me to get dressed and head out the door for a little quick shopping trip. After the rubber met the road it hit me again and I remembered. After I got home I discovered the family was watching the various services and even briefly flipped it over to MSNBC's taped footage of their coverage that day.
I don't need to watch it. See...I've got 3-4 days worth of it on cassette. I taped it for posterity. Non stop 24 hrs..3-4 days of coverage. Lest I forget. Doing that however...I find I don't need to watch them to remind me. All I need do, is look up at the stack of VHS cassettes on top of my book case, and I can see it.

I remember where I was that morning. I was at work, at Kmart..in the sporting goods dept putting away merchandise off of 4 pallets from the day befores' delivery. After the first plane hit the tower..it was originally thought a bomb was exploded. Someone came over to say "Sean someone exploded a bomb at the WTC." I kept working for a minute then walked over to the electronics dept. Just in time to see the plane hit the 2nd tower. I remember thinking right after "Someone has got to pay for this. We're going to war" a heavy thought for so early in the morning. Several of us got into trouble that day..for neglecting our work and wandering over to electronics to watch the chaos. Me I didn't care if I got yelled at. We'd just been attacked. At some point in the few minutes after the 2nd tower was hit, I'd called my sister and told her to pop a blank cassette in the VCR, put it on any channel and hit record. It's 11 years  later..and I can still picture that day as clear as if I were there again.

I'll never forget. As for forgiveness..I'll forgive when all those who committed that act, and those who fight because they believe as the hijackers did, are all dead...or I am.

The Abortion Debate.. a solution?

One of my friends came up with an interesting solution. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the solution since he's as much an avid reader of science fiction as I am.  His solution?  Make abortion obsolete with artificial wombs.

there are 3 main reasons to get an abortion...
1.  health risk to the mother.
2. quality of life issue for the unborn child as it's going to be born with a truly debilitating and or truly nasty disease.
3. Mother got pregnant and for one reason or another...doesn't want the child.

the solution to the 2nd is genetics research but that leads to it's OWN ethical dilemma and verbal bitch fight.

As for 1 and 3?  That's a matter of engineering.  In the case of 1...it allows for parents who WANT children but the mother can't physically carry due to health risks to her...to have a child.
In the case of 3...it allows the mothers who don't want their babies to give them up for adoption without having to carry the child to term and give birth.

Now I'm actually quite fine with all this,, with a few provisos.
As pointed out by the guy who suggested this with the 3rd scenario...
1. The biological mother gives up ALL legal rights to the child.  There will be no changing your mind after the fact...because it's not fair to the adoptive parents to take away what is now their child...because you got wishy washy...and might just change your mind again in the future and decide that keeping the child was a bad idea. It's also in the latter case really not fair to the child.
2. If we go this route, than outside of a case of rape or incest, the biological father gets a say.  My main HUGE problem with the whole "abortion debate" has been that for YEARS the father gets the short end of the stick. Or to quote the movie Dune "for the father, nothing."  The cry from the women is "it's MY body!"  Yeah lady it's your body having to do the job of "incubator" but it's also as much the father's child you're carrying as your own and to shut him out of the decision making process is WRONG!
So the mother doesn't want the child but the father does....then not only does  mother give up all rights to the child,  but the biological father gets the child to raise, seeing as how genetically the child IS his as well as the mother. Like I said...takes two to make it...so both get a say. It also means that the father can't go after the mother for child support after the father takes responsibility

but but...what if the father and mother are no more than children themselves? Glad you asked that question...I've looked up the stats...and the age group that wins in percentages of abortions is the  age group of 20-29. Adults between the ages of 20-29 comprise [depending on the state] anywhere between 50-60% of all abortions. In the Up to the age of 19 group, the kids/teenagers...comprise up to [oddly enough and again depending on which state your in] 19% of all abortions.

So if it's a youngster who gets pregnant because the girl got sweet talked/ guilt tripped into having sex by a boy who can't keep his goddamn pants zipped?   Then you've got a slightly different scenario
A. The child gets transferred to the artificial womb and both mother AND father give up all legal rights to the child. Or..
B. and admittedly this is a small possibility. If the grand parents might want the child then they get...first choice.  If both sets of grandparents want the child then,  they can either work it out cordially for themselves or...they can ask for the courts to mediate an agreement between them.  If either one then reneges then they both lose...this is a child we're talking about...not a fucking football.

If neither parent wants the child then...
 if the child is transferred to the artificial womb, they are put up for adoption while still in the artificial womb and the adoptive parents will then take over all fiscal responsibilities as it pertains to expenses for care and maintenance of the child and the incubator...while their adopted child is in the incubator.  Because think about it...feeding the child in an artificial womb is going to be akin to intravenous nutrients into the kids system. IV solutions cost money and so does the power to run the equipment.

Yes I realize this post is probably going to generate some hate and discontent. *shrug* so be it.

Bracken: When The Music Stops  How America's Cities May Explode In Violence
Posted on September 3, 2012 

From Matt Bracken:

In response to recent articles in mainstream military journals discussing the use of the U.S. Army to quell insurrections on American soil, I offer an alternate vision of the future. Instead of a small town in the South as the flash point, picture instead a score of U.S. cities in the thrall of riots greater than those experienced in Los Angeles in 1965 (Watts), multiple cities in 1968 (MLK assassination), and Los Angeles again in 1992 (Rodney King). New Yorkers can imagine the 1977 blackout looting or the 1991 Crown Heights disturbance. In fact, the proximate spark of the next round of major riots in America could be any from a long list cribbed from our history.

We have seen them all before, and we shall see them all again as history rhymes along regardless of the century or the generation of humankind nominally in control of events. But the next time we are visited by widespread, large-scale urban riots, a dangerous new escalation may be triggered by a new vulnerability: It's estimated that the average American home has less than two weeks of food on hand. In poor minority areas, it may be much less. What if a cascading economic crisis, even a temporary one, leads to millions of EBT (electronic benefit transfer) cards flashing nothing but zeroes? Or if the government's refusal to reimburse them causes supermarket chains to stop accepting them for payment? The government can order the supermarkets to honor the cards, but history's verdict is clear: If suppliers are paid only with worthless scrip or blinking digits, the food will stop.

STEP ONE: FLASH MOB LOOTING

In my scenario, the initial riots begin spontaneously across affected urban areas, as SNAP (supplemental nutrition assistance program) and other government welfare recipients learn that their EBT cards no longer function. This sudden revelation will cause widespread anger, which will quickly lead to the flash-mob looting of local supermarkets and other businesses. The media will initially portray these "food riots" as at least partly justifiable. Sadly, millions of Americans have been made largely, or even entirely, dependent on government wealth transfer payments to put food on their tables.

A new social contract has been created, where bread and circuses buy a measure of peace in our minority-populated urban zones. In the era of ubiquitous big-screen cable television, the internet and smart phones, the circus part of the equation is never in doubt as long as the electricity flows. But the bread is highly problematic. Food must be delivered the old-fashioned way: physically. Any disruption in the normal functioning of the EBT system will lead to food riots with a speed that is astonishing. This will inevitably happen when our unsustainable, debt-fueled binge party finally stops, and the music is over. Now that the delivery of free or heavily subsidized food is perceived by tens of millions of Americans to be a basic human right, the cutoff of "their" food money will cause an immediate explosion of rage. When the hunger begins to bite, supermarkets, shops and restaurants will be looted, and initially the media will not condemn the looting. Unfortunately, this initial violence will only be the start of a dangerous escalation.

The ransacked supermarkets, convenience stores, ATMs and gas stations will not be restocked during this period due to the precarious security situation. A single truck loaded with food or gasoline would be perceived to be a Fort Knox on wheels and subject to immediate attack unless heavily protected by powerfully armed security forces, but such forces will not be available during this chaotic period. Under those conditions, resupply to the urban areas cannot and will not take place. The downward spiral of social and economic dysfunction will therefore both accelerate and spread from city to city. These delays, in turn, will lead to more riots with the constant underlying demand that hungry people be fed, one way or another.

Catch-22, anyone? When these demands do not bring the desired outcome, the participants will ratchet up the violence, hoping to force action by the feckless state and national governments.

The "food riots" will be a grass-roots movement of the moment born out of hunger and desperation. It will not be dependent upon leaders or an underlying organization, although they could certainly add to the sauce. Existing cell phone technology provides all the organization a flash mob needs. Most of the mobs will consist of minority urban youths, termed MUYs in the rest of this essay. Which minority doesn't matter; each urban locale will come with its own unique multi-ethnic dynamic.

Some locales will divide upon religious or political lines, but they will not be the dominant factors contributing to conflict. In the American context, the divisions will primarily have an ethnic or racial context, largely because that makes it easy to sort out the sides at a safe distance. No need to check religious or political affiliation at a hundred yards when The Other is of a different color.

We Americans are all about doing things the easy way, so, sadly, visible racial and ethnic features will form the predominant lines of division.

Would that it were not so, but reality is reality, even when it's is a bitch.

Especially then.

NEXT STEP: FLASH MOB RIOTS

In order to highlight their grievances and escalate their demands for an immediate resumption of government benefits, the MUY flash mobs will next move their activities to the borders of their ethnic enclaves. They will concentrate on major intersections and highway interchanges where non-MUY suburban commuters must make daily passage to and from what forms of employment still exist. People making a living will still be using those roads to get to where they earn their daily bread.

The results of these clashes will frequently resemble the intersection of Florence and Normandie during the Rodney King riots in 1992, where Reginald Denny was pulled out of his truck's cab and beaten nearly to death with a cinder block. If you don't remember it, watch it on Youtube. Then imagine that scene with the mob-making accelerant of texting and other social media technology added to stoke the fires. Instead of a few dozen thugs terrorizing the ambushed intersections, in minutes there will be hundreds.

Rioters will throw debris such as shopping carts and trash cans into the intersection, causing the more timid drivers to pause. The mobs will swarm the lines of trapped cars once they have stopped. Traffic will be forced into gridlock for blocks in all directions. Drivers and passengers of the wrong ethnic persuasions will be pulled from their vehicles to be beaten, robbed, and in some cases raped and/or killed. It will be hyper-violent and overtly racial mob behavior, on a massive and undeniable basis.

Some of those trapped in their cars will try to drive out of the area, inevitably knocking down MUY pedestrians and being trapped by even more outraged MUYs. The commuters will be dragged out of their cars and kicked or beaten to death. Other suburban commuters will try to shoot their way out of the lines of stopped cars, and they will meet the same grim fate once they run out of bullets and room to escape.

The mob will be armed with everything from knives, clubs and pistols to AK-47s. A bloodbath will result. These unlucky drivers and their passengers will suffer horribly, and some of their deaths will be captured on traffic web cameras. Later, these terrible scenes will be released or leaked by sympathetic government insiders and shown by the alternative media, which continue to expand as the traditional media become increasingly irrelevant.

Implausible, you insist?

This grim tableau is my analysis of age-old human behavior patterns, adding flash mobs and 2012 levels of racial anger to the old recipe. Early-teenage MUYs today are frequently playing "The Knockout Game" on full bellies, just for kicks, and proudly uploading the videos. They and their older peers can be expected to do far worse when hunger and the fear of starvation enter their physical, mental, and emotional equations. The blame for their hunger will be turned outward against the greater society, and will be vented at first hand against any non-MUY who falls into their grasp while they are in the thrall of mob hysteria. These episodes of mass psychology we will refer to as "flash mob riots", "wilding", or some other new name.

THE OFFICIAL POLICE RESPONSE TO FLASH MOB RIOTS

To gear up for even a single "Florence and Normandie on steroids" flash mob street riot, city police departments will require an hour or longer to stage their SWAT teams and riot squads in position to react. Ordinary patrol cars in small numbers will not venture anywhere near such roiling masses of hysterical rioters, not even to perform rescues. Those citizens trapped in their cars cannot expect timely assistance from local or state authorities.

Even in the first days of widespread riots, when the police forces are well rested, it might take several hours to mount a response sufficient to quell the disturbance and restore order to even one major street intersection riot. In the meantime, scores of innocent commuters will have been attacked, with many of them injured or killed and left at the scene. It will be a law enforcement nightmare to quell the disturbance, mop up lingering rioters, restore security, and bring medical attention to the living and get medical examiners to the dead. And each jurisdiction will face potentially dozens of such scenes, thanks to the ability for MUYs to cross-communicate at will using their wireless devices.

The far more difficult challenge for the police is that by the time they are suited in riot gear, armed and geared up to sweep the intersection, it will probably be empty of rioters. The police, with their major riot squad reaction times measured in hours, will be fighting flash mobs that materialize, cause mayhem, and evaporate in only fractions of hours. This rapid cycle time is a clear lesson taken from massive riots by immigrant French Muslim MUYs in their own religious enclaves and bordering areas.

The American flash mob riot will exist almost entirely inside the law enforcement OODA (observe, orient, decide, act) loop. In other words, the rioters will have a much quicker reaction time than the police. Until fairly recently, superior police communications meant that they could use their radio networks as a force multiplier. With their networking advantage and cohesive reactions both within a department and among cooperating local agencies, police could act as shepherds guiding or dispersing a wayward stampeding flock.

Today, the mob has the greater advantage, immediately spreading word of every police preparation by text and Tweet, even in advance of the police movement. Attempts by the authorities to stop the flash mobs by blocking and jamming wireless transmissions will have limited success.

It is at this point that the situation spirals out of control.

The enraged mobs in urban America will soon recognize that their spontaneous street riots cannot be stopped by the police, and then they will grow truly fearsome. For the police, it will be a losing game of Whack-a-Mole, with riots breaking out and dispersing at a speed they cannot hope to match. The violence will spread to previously unaffected cities as an awareness of law enforcement impotence is spread by television and social media. After a few days, the police forces will be exhausted and demoralized. As the violence intensifies and spreads, and in the absence of any viable security arrangements, supermarkets and other stores will not be restocked, leaving the MUYs even more desperate and angry than before. The increasing desperation born of worsening hunger will refuel the escalating spiral of violence.

Nor will violent conflict be only between the inhabitants of the urban areas and the suburbs. The international record of conflict in tri-ethnic cities is grim, making the old bi-racial dichotomy formerly seen in America seem stable by comparison. In tri-ethnic cities the perceived balance of power is constantly shifting, with each side in turn feeling outnumbered and outmuscled. Temporary truces, betrayals and new alliances follow in rapid succession, removing any lingering sense of social cohesion.

The former Yugoslavia, with its Catholic, Orthodox and Muslim divisions, comes starkly to mind. The Lebanese Civil War between the Christians, Sunnis, Shiites and Druze raged across Beirut (at one time known as "The Paris of the Middle East") for fifteen brutal years. Once a city turns on itself and becomes a runaway engine of self-destruction, it can be difficult to impossible to switch off the process and return to normal pre-conflict life. It's not inconceivable that the United States could produce a dozen Sarajevos or Beiruts, primarily across racial instead of religious divides.

Vehicle traffic by non-minority suburban commuters through adjoining minority areas will virtually halt, wrecking what is left of the local economy. Businesses will not open because employees will not be able to travel to work safely. Businesses in minority areas, needless to say, will be looted. "Gentrified" enclaves of affluent suburbanites within or near the urban zones will suffer repeated attacks, until their inhabitants flee.

Radically disaffected minorities will hold critical infrastructure corridors through their areas hostage against the greater society. Highways, railroad tracks, pipe and power lines will all be under constant threat, or may be cut in planned or unplanned acts of raging against "the system." As long as security in the urban areas cannot be restored, these corridors will be under threat. Even airports will not be immune. Many of them have been absorbed into urban areas, and aircraft will come under sporadic fire while taking off and landing.

In the absence of fresh targets of value blundering into their areas, and still out of food, MUYs will begin to forage beyond their desolated home neighborhoods and into suburban borderlands. "Safe" supermarkets and other stores will be robbed in brazen commando-like gang attacks. Carjackings and home invasions will proliferate madly. As I have discussed in my essay "The Civil War Two Cube," so-called "transitional" and mixed-ethnic areas will suffer the worst violence. These neighborhoods will become utterly chaotic killing zones, with little or no help coming from the overstretched police, who will be trying to rest up for their next shift on riot squad duty, if they have not already deserted their posts to take care of their own families.

THE SUBURBAN ARMED VIGILANTE RESPONSE

In the absence of an effective official police response to the exploding levels of violence, suburbanites will first hastily form self-defense forces to guard their neighborhoods--especially ones located near ethnic borders. These ubiquitous neighborhood armed defense teams will often have a deep and talented bench from which to select members, and they will not lack for volunteers.

Since 9-11, hundreds of thousands of young men (and more than a few women) have acquired graduate-level educations in various aspects of urban warfare. In the Middle East these troops were frequently tasked with restoring order to urban areas exploding in internecine strife. Today these former military men and women understand better than anyone the life-or-death difference between being armed and organized versus unarmed and disorganized.

Hundreds of thousands if not millions of veterans currently own rifles strikingly similar to those they carried in the armed forces, lacking only the full-automatic selector switch. Their brothers, sisters, parents, friends, and neighbors who did not serve in the military are often just as familiar with the weapons, if not the tactics. Today the AR-pattern rifle (the semi-automatic civilian version of the familiar full-auto-capable M-16 or M-4) is the most popular model of rifle in America, with millions sold in the past decade. Virtually all of them produced in the past decade have abandoned the old M-16′s signature "carrying handle" rear iron sight for a standardized sight mounting rail, meaning that virtually every AR sold today can be easily equipped with an efficient optical sight. Firing the high-velocity 5.56×45 mm cartridge and mounted with a four-power tactical sight, a typical AR rifle can shoot two-inch groups at one hundred yards when fired from a steady bench rest. That translates to shooting eight- to ten-inch groups at four hundred yards.

Four hundred yards is a long walk. Pace it off on a straight road, and observe how tiny somebody appears at that distance. Yet a typical AR rifle, like those currently owned by millions of American citizens, can hit a man-sized target at that range very easily, given a stable firing platform and a moderate level of shooting ability.

And there are a far greater number of scoped bolt-action hunting rifles in private hands in the United States. Keep this number in mind: based on deer stamps sold, approximately twenty million Americans venture into the woods every fall armed with such rifles, fully intending to shoot and kill a two-hundred-pound mammal. Millions of these scoped bolt-action deer rifles are quite capable of hitting a man-sized target at ranges out to and even beyond a thousand yards, or nearly three-fifths of a mile. In that context, the 500-yard effective range of the average semi-auto AR-pattern rifle is not at all remarkable.

So, we have millions of men and women with military training, owning rifles similar to the ones they used in combat operations overseas from Vietnam to Afghanistan. Many of these Soldiers and Marines have special operations training. They are former warriors with experience at conducting irregular warfare and counter-terrorism operations in dangerous urban environments. They are the opposite of unthinking robots: their greatest military talent is looking outside the box for new solutions. They always seek to "over-match" their enemies, using their own advantages as force multipliers while diminishing or concealing their weaknesses. These military veterans are also ready, willing and able to pass on their experience and training to interested students in their civilian circles.

Let's return to our hypothetical Florence and Normandie intersection, but this time with hundreds of rioters per city block, instead of mere dozens. Among the mobs are thugs armed with pistols and perhaps even AK-47s equipped with standard iron sights, and except in rare cases, these rifles have never been "zeroed in" on a target range. In other words, past a medium distance of fifty to a hundred yards, these MUY shooters will have little idea where their fired bullets will strike--nor will they care. Typically, most of the rioters armed with a pistol, shotgun or an iron-sighted rifle could not hit a mailbox at a hundred yards unless by luck. Inside that distance, any non-MUY could be at immediate risk of brutal death at the hands of an enraged mob, but beyond that range, the mob will pose much less danger.

Taking this imbalance in effective ranges of the firearms most likely to be available to both sides, certain tactical responses are sure to arise, and ranking near the top will be the one described next.

THE SNIPER AMBUSH: THE NEW TACTIC OF CHOICE

The sniper ambush will predictably be used as a counter to rampaging mobs armed only with short- to medium-range weapons. This extremely deadly trick was developed by our war fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan, taking advantage of the significant effective range and firepower of our scoped 5.56mm rifles. Tactics such as the sniper ambush may not be seen early in the civil disorder, but they will surely arise after a steady progression of atrocities attributed to rampaging MUYs.

Street intersection flash mob riots will not be the only type of violence exploding during periods of civil disorder. As mentioned earlier, the number and ferocity of home invasions will skyrocket, and they will be very hard to defend against. Neighborhood self-defense forces will be able to protect a group of homes if they are located on cul-de-sacs or in defensible subdivisions with limited entrances, turning them overnight into fortified gated communities. Individual homes and apartment buildings located in open grid-pattern neighborhoods with outside access from many directions will be much more difficult to defend, and the home invasions will continue.

Carjacking and other forms of armed robbery will proliferate to previously unimagined levels, leading to a total loss of confidence in the government's ability to provide security across all social lines. Stray bullets striking pedestrians or penetrating houses will take a frightening toll, even in areas previously considered to be safe. The police will be exhausted by constant riot-squad duty, and will not even respond to reports of mere individual acts of violent criminality. They will simply be overwhelmed, and will be forced to triage their responses. The wealthy, powerful and politically well-connected will demand the lion's share of remaining police resources, further diminishing the safety of average Americans.

In that context, neighborhood self-defense forces will form the nucleus of the armed vigilante direct action groups which will spring up next in the progression. Suburban anger will continue to build against the MUYs, who are perceived to be the originators of the home invasions and gang-level armed looting raids. Survivors of street ambushes, carjackings and home invasions will tell blood-curdling tales and show horrific scars.

The neighborhood defense teams will evolve into proactive suburban armed vigilante groups (SAVs) out of a desire to preemptively take the violence to their perceived enemies, instead of passively waiting for the next home invasion or carjacking. The SAV teams will consist of the more aggressive and gung-ho members of the self-defense forces, who met and compared notes. Often they will be young men with recent combat experience in the armed forces, who will apply their military training to the new situation. Major intersections and highway interchanges where ambush riots have previously occurred will be among the SAV targets. The SAV reaction times will be measured in minutes, compared to the hours required by major police department SWAT teams and riot squads.

A SAMPLE SNIPER AMBUSH SCENARIO

When word is received that a flash mob is forming at one of their pre-reconnoitered intersections or highway interchanges, the SAV team will assemble. Sometimes cooperating police will pass tactical intel to their civilian friends on the outside. Some clever individuals will have exploited their technical know-how and military experience to build real-time intel collection tools, such as private UAVs. Police will have access to urban security camera footage showing MUYs moving barricade materials into position--a normal prerequisite to a flash mob riot intended to stop traffic. Tip-offs to the vigilantes will be common, and where the networks are still functioning, citizens may still be able to access some video feeds. Sometimes, police will even join the SAV teams, incognito and off-duty, blurring the teams into so-called "death squads."

The operation I will describe (and it's only one of dozens that will be tried) uses two ordinary pickup trucks and eight fighters. Two riflemen are lying prone in the back of each truck, facing rearward, with removable canvas covers concealing their presence. Their semi-automatic, scoped rifles are supported at their front ends on bipods for very accurate shooting. A row of protective sandbags a foot high is between them and the raised tailgate.

In the cab are a driver and a spotter in the passenger seat who also serves as the vehicle's 360-degree security. The two trucks don't ever appear on the same stretch of road, but coordinate their movements using one-word brevity codes over small FRS walkie-talkie radios. Each truck has a series of predetermined elevated locations where the intersection in question will lie between 200 and 500 yards away. Each truck is totally nondescript and forgettable, the only detail perhaps being the non-MUY ethnicity of the suburbanite driver and spotter driving relatively near to a riot in progress.

By the time the two SAV pickup trucks arrive at their firing positions on different streets and oriented ninety degrees to one another, the flash mob riot is in full swing. A hundred or more of the rampaging youths are posturing and throwing debris into traffic in order to intimidate some cars into stopping. The riflemen in the backs of the pickups are waiting for this moment and know what to expect, trusting their spotters and drivers to give them a good firing lane. The spotters in each truck issue a code word on their radios when they are in final position. The tailgates are swung down, and the leader among the riflemen initiates the firing. All-around security is provided by the driver and spotter.

Lying prone and using their bipods for support, the shooters have five to ten degrees of pan or traverse across the entire intersection. Individual rioters are clearly visible in the shooters' magnified optical scopes. Each of the four snipers has a plan to shoot from the outside of the mob toward the middle, driving participants into a panicked mass. The left-side shooters start on the left side and work to the middle, engaging targets with rapid fire, about one aimed shot per two seconds. Since the two trucks are set at ninety degrees to one another, very complete coverage will be obtained, even among and between the stopped vehicles.

The result is a turkey shoot. One magazine of thirty aimed shots per rifle is expended in under a minute, a coded cease-fire is called on the walkie-talkies, and the trucks drive away at the speed limit. The canvas covering the truck beds contains the shooters' spent brass. If the trucks are attacked from medium or close range, the canvas can be thrown back and the two snipers with their semi-automatic rifles or carbines will add their firepower to that of the driver and spotter.

Back at the intersection, complete panic breaks out among the rioters as a great number of bullets have landed in human flesh. Over a score have been killed outright, and many more scream in pain for medical attention they will not receive in time. The sniper ambush stops the flash mob cold in its tracks as the uninjured flee in terror, leaving their erstwhile comrades back on the ground bleeding. The commuters trapped in their vehicles may have an opportunity to escape.

This type of sniper ambush and a hundred variations on the theme will finally accomplish what the police could not: put an end to mobs of violent rioters making the cities through-streets and highways impassible killing zones. Would-be rioters will soon understand it to be suicidal to cluster in easily visible groups and engage in mob violence, as the immediate response could come at any time in the form of aimed fire from hundreds of yards away. Even one rifleman with a scoped semi-auto can break up a medium-sized riot.

Many citizens will take to carrying rifles and carbines in their vehicles, along with their pistols, so that if their cars are trapped in an ambush they will have a chance to fight their way out. If their vehicle is stopped outside the immediate area of the flash mob, they will be able to direct accurate fire at the rioters from a few hundred yards away. Inside the fatal hundred-yard radius, unlucky suburbanite drivers and passengers pulled from their cars will still be brutally violated, but the occurrences of large mob-driven street ambushes will be much less frequent once long-range retaliation becomes a frequent expectation.

THE GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO VIGILANTISM

Where they will be unable to respond swiftly or effectively to the outbreaks of street riots by MUY flash mobs, the police and federal agents will respond vigorously to the deadly but smaller vigilante attacks. These sniper ambushes and other SAV attacks will be called acts of domestic terrorism and mass murder by government officials and the mainstream media. A nearly seamless web of urban and suburban street cameras will reveal some of the SAV teams by their vehicles, facial recognition programs, and other technical means. Some early arrests will be made, but the vigilantes will adapt to increasing law enforcement pressure against them by becoming cleverer about their camouflage, most often using stolen cars and false uniforms and masks during their direct-action missions. Observe Mexico today for ideas on how this type of dirty war is fought.

Eventually, the U.S. Army itself might be called upon to put out all the social firestorms in our cities, restore order and security, pacify the angry masses, feed the starving millions, get vital infrastructure operating again, and do it all at once in a dozen American Beiruts, Sarajevos and Mogadishus.

Good luck to them, I say.

A few hundred "Active IRA" tied down thousands of British troops in one corner of a small island for decades. The same ratios have served the Taliban well over the past decade while fighting against the combined might of NATO. Set aside for a moment the angry starving millions trapped in the urban areas, and the dire security issues arising thereof. Just to consider the official reaction to vigilantism separately, it's unlikely that any conceivable combinations of local and state police, federal law enforcement, National Guard or active-duty Army actions could neutralize or eliminate tens of thousands of former special operations troops intent on providing their own form of security. Millions of Americans are already far better armed and trained than a few hundred IRA or Taliban ever were. And the police and Army would not be operating from secure fire bases, their families living in total safety thousands of miles away in a secure rear area. In this scenario, there is no rear area, and every family member, anywhere, would be at perpetual risk of reprisal actions by any of the warring sides.

In this hyper-dangerous environment, new laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in vehicles would be ignored as the illegitimate diktat of dictatorship, just when the Second Amendment is needed more than ever. Police or military conducting searches for firearms at checkpoints would themselves become targets of vigilante snipers. Serving on anti-firearms duty would be seen as nothing but pure treason by millions of Americans who took the oath to defend the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights. Politicians who did not act in the security interest of their local constituents as a result of political correctness or other reasons would also be targeted.

A festering race war with police and the military in the middle taking fire from both sides could last for many years, turning many American cities into a living hell. Remember history: when the British Army landed in Northern Ireland in 1969, they were greeted with flowers and applause from the Catholics. The Tommys were welcomed as peacekeepers who would protect them from Protestant violence. That soon changed. Likewise with our tragic misadventure in Lebanon back in 1982 and 1983. Well-intended referees often find themselves taking fire from all sides. It's as predictable as tomorrow's sunrise. Why would it be any different when the U.S. Army is sent to Los Angeles, Chicago or Philadelphia to break apart warring ethnic factions?

For a long time after these events, it will be impossible for the warring ethnic groups to live together or even to mingle peacefully. Too much rage and hatred will have been built up on all sides of our many American multi-ethnic fault lines. The new wounds will be raw and painful for many years to come, as they were in the South for long after the Civil War. The fracturing of the urban areas, divided by no-man's-lands, will also hinder economic redevelopment for many years because the critical infrastructure corridors will remain insecure.

Eventually, high concrete "Peace Walls" like those in Belfast, Northern Ireland, will be installed where the different ethnic groups live in close proximity. That is, if recovery to sane and civilized norms of behavior are ever regained in our lifetimes and we don't slide into a new Dark Age, a stern and permanent tyranny, warlordism, anarchy, or any other dire outcome.

Dark Ages can last for centuries, after sinking civilizations in a vicious, downward vortex. "When the music's over, turn out the lights," to quote Jim Morrison of The Doors. Sometimes the lights stay out for a long time. Sometimes civilization itself is lost. Millions of EBT cards flashing zeroes might be the signal event of a terrible transformation.

It is a frightening thing to crystallize the possible outbreak of mass starvation and racial warfare into words, so that the mind is forced to confront agonizingly painful scenarios. It is much easier to avert one's eyes and mind from the ugliness with politically correct Kumbaya bromides. In this grim essay, I am describing a brutal situation of ethnic civil war not differing much from the worst scenes from recent history in Rwanda, South Africa, Mexico, Bosnia, Iraq, and many other places that have experienced varying types and degrees of societal collapse. We all deplore the conditions that might drive us toward such a hellish outcome, and we should work unceasingly to return America to the path of true brotherhood, peace and prosperity. Race hustlers of every stripe should be condemned.

Most of us wish we could turn back the calendar to Norman Rockwell's America. But we cannot, for that America is water long over the dam and gone from our sight, if not from our memories. John Adams said, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." If that is true, judging by current and even accelerating cultural shifts, we might already have passed the point of no return.

The prudent American will trim his sails accordingly.


As to why I think this is eminently possible..I have several reasons. I live with my family in one of those "multi cultural" areas black, white, asian and hispanic.

The crime has started to get more ridiculous.  The gangbangers are starting to tag everything. One of the stop signs in the neighborhood has been replaced 3x recently...that I know of.   The little fuckers rifled through my truck, which I'd left parked out on the street. They were going from house to house, trying vehicle doors to ransack them for something they could sell for a quick buck.  I'd forgotten to lock the truck that night.  Hell there was a fucking SWAT stand off around the corner from me last week!  Although that one was a guy despondent, was sick lived with his wife and a care taker. I live in the "suburban" areas 20 mins drive from the metro area...down town.  Plus being long term unemployed I read alot on the net. Several of the places I read, are putting even money on riots if Obummer loses the election. In november.  Others are betting that the whole country comes crashing down period with in the next 5-10yrs.   I'm a pessimist.  I'm betting on the low end of that stretch of time.  Why do I hold such a dismal view of the future?  We as a nation have become too divided and segregated along racial, economic and political party lines. We've gotten to far away from our founding documents. Too far away from the principles this nation was founded upon.  I don't think either party is to be trusted frankly. One party I believe is and HAS been building towards an outbreak of violence so they could take complete control.  The 2nd party probably wouldn't mind but has enough people in it to put the brakes on that party's ambition in that direction, because those people understand all too well what is going to happen, if the country explodes. If that party gains control they'll try to slow it down enough to...ameliorate the effects. Whether they succeed or not in that endeavor is a mystery. The first party just doesn't give a damn, what burns and who dies, so long as they get complete and absolute control.  Sigh....

Remember..TANSTAAFL and....
I now return you to your regularly scheduled inanity and insanity.

Because I MUST be a Sadomasochist to read this crap..

What am I referring to?  This bunch of idiots.. the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.  That is of course their facebook page. They DO have a regular web page.   But I wade through the mass idiocy and lack of logic on their FB page on an almost daily basis. I don't post there for two reasons. 1. I've been blocked...though I can still read the page. 2.  Dissenting opinions are deleted. Especially those using actual hard numbers and facts.  Wouldn't want to interrupt the group think now would we?  I got blocked and had my comments deleted in a matter of hours. A reader of a page I co run on FB was deleted and blocked..IN 4 MINUTES  flat. My friend who started the page I co run with him..actually mostly me runs it at this point, though he does pop in from time to time; was blocked and deleted in about 20 minutes by these paragons of open mindedness.   There is a comment posted in the following, and he is the lone exception that I know of to the rule of not being deleted.
Any way...for instance...they take a Triple murder suicide like this and.....
"Another deadly mass shooting ... New Jersey supermarket employee leaves shift, returns to store with AK-47 and kills 2 co-workers and himself. The victims were 18-year-old Cristina LoBrutto and 24-year-old Bryan Breen. The gunman, Terence S. Tyler, was a 23-year-old former Marine."

Really? A triple murder-suicide is all the sudden considered a "mass shooting" now?  I don't think so, you deceitful dilletantes.  Words have meaning, and you twist them to suit your agenda. Bending the definition this way and that way until it means what you want it to mean, instead of what it actually  means.

mass a considerable assemblage, number or quantity.

considerable: rather large or great. as in size, distance, extent.   So you see....

You are not to be trusted. Because you LIE...and can be proven to LIE. 

Then there are the wastes of oxygen that believe as you do and espouse even more stupidity.

"Earl Rodier But the guns aren't killing people, people are....what a bunch of lies. When will people learn? Shooting after shooting after shooting with these assault weapons, and everyone stands around helpless against the current laws. When I was very young, I saw a bumper sticker that said the old adage, 'if guns where outlawed, only outlaws would have guns'. Don't take the rifles away from those who honestly use them for sport, but honestly the assault weapons need to go"

I would point out Earl that the Bow and Arrow were the Guns, the "assault weapons" of their day. They were the great equalizer because peasants could own them, this among other things, allowed them to throw the boots of the tyrants from their necks.  To live as Free Men...instead of slaves.  Lackluster lackwits like yourself would have left the peasants in servitude.

"Mark Walker To say I am sicked, depressed and damned near the point of saying "To the hell with it!" The gun lovers have us outnumbered and will win anyway is an understatement! I know that it us just that seeing yet another killing and seeing them almost everyday is really beginning to get to me. It seems we will never learn and the other side will just keep chanting that "Guns don't kill" mantra and blaming us for everything. Thanks for letting me get that rant off my chest. Back to the fight."

Guns in fact DON'T kill people. They are cold, inanimate objects, with no will of their own. No brain...of their own.  It takes a thinking, warm blooded HUMAN to load them and pull their triggers.  A gun is a tool and that's all it is.   Oh and Mark?  I don't blame you. You're just a sheep, being led to the slaughter. I blame the rustlers using the sound of gun fire to terrify you into their slaughterhouses.  On second thought...yes I do blame you Mark...because unlike the 4 legged sheep, YOU have higher brain functions that are supposed to allow you to think for yourself. 



"Nana M. Haneda We do need tougher gun laws & need to have a roster & license of everyone who owns a gun in a database so as to be able to track the owner & owner's of gun shop need to be held accountable for whom they sell their armory to , then & only then maybe these mass shooting would not occur."


Yes Nana, they would occur because as we have tried to tell you...criminals are criminals because they don't obey the law. never have, never will. THAT is why we call them CRIMINALS!   Oh and having a national register will allow for a tyrannical government to more easily round up the guns that those of us who believe in freedom, would use to defend our families, our homes and ourselves.

"Susan Martha not again! we need to stop this madness. why do the gunnies have all the rights .... do i not have the right to live in a country where i do not have to fear being mowed down by some psycho with a gun?"


Fine you uneducated, over emotional fool. Move to someplace like Rwanda instead. Where the greatest Mass Murder in recent history was perpetrated over the course of 100 days...with machetes!  Over 800,000 people hacked to death. Going to ban knives now? 

The following comment is only PART of a long comment made by this lady..
"Catherine Conroy Joshua, I will respond to insurrectionists with my patriotic wish to defend my country if the need should ever arise. These people who spread their hateful, bigoted speech against fellow Americans are unpatriotic nuts, and I've never invited anyone to "bring it on"--only said I would fight if they ever tried to attack our nation over gun control laws that have already existed in the past and might again"


So because people, a great many of us actually...are acting on our first amendment rights to point out that our government is turning more and more tyrannical over time.  That we may in the end be forced by circumstances to do something we'd by and large, like to avoid doing.....we're hateful, bigoted unpatriotic nuts?    Sigh...Do you remember the opening of the Declaration of Independence, Cathy?  Here let me refresh your memory....
"WHEN in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government."


Oh and did I mention boys and girls that there are those on CSGV who support the second amendment...with  a few provisos that are just as....wrong, in the way they state things regarding the 2nd Amendment and "Gun violence"?

The following is an opening sentence of just ONE of the comments made by this Gentlemen...who I've gone back and forth with on twitter before.  Gone back and forth and discussed pretty cordially I might add.  So I was a bit shocked to see the following statement leave his keyboard....
"Joshua Flashman Catherine,

I don't blame you for being angry. Gun violence is an absolute epidemic in this country."


Soooo...it's an epidemic now Joshua?   No it's not, far from it in point of fact.  Hell Brazil leads us in Murder alone by a factor of 5.   They are running right around 50,000 murders per year in that country.  2011...they set a new record of over 52,000 of them.  Now how many of those were gun related I don't know...don't really care either.  But for comparison in 2010 we had 14,700 murders, of which around 10,000 of them were homicide using a gun.. At a time when the Census tells us the Population was 308,746,000 million.  BTW...the murder rate hadn't been that low since 1969, when there were 14,762 murders, and with one third less the population!  Dirty little secret...the murder rate for the last 20yrs has been slowly dropping.  But you will not hear that from the Gun Control lobby.  From the federal justice agencies, from the main stream media outlets...
See...they FEED on the blood.  They thrive on it.  It allows them to use FEAR to control the people. To stampede the people into doing something they wouldn't do, IF they were thinking critically and rationally.  To give up their rights to free speech and self defense.....because without the 2nd...the 1st wouldn't be possible.   Honestly I don't know what people find so hard to grok about such a stupid simple concept.  It drives me nuts.   I could go on but, I think I'll just link you to the two recent posts I did on Murder.

 Murder annnnnddd...Murder Part 2.



edit: 530 pm 9/3/12*facepalm*  Oh man I love this comment just posted a few hours ago on this post on CSGV:Craig Hexham ‎@Sarah M. Hench, thank you for the few words of caring on this very lengthy thread. However, while I agree that there are people who may be grieving and/or enraged about this ongoing violence, there should be very few who are shocked. I certainly am not and anyone who is attentive to such matters is not shocked by what has become commonplace and even expected. Until WMD are removed from citizen access, this will continue and informed people should continue to expect such occurrences. If there is shock, it should be that people in this country care so little for their peers.

Okay so firearms are Weapons of Mass Destruction, now? 

The anti gun lobby and anti gun supporters says stupid shit like this, calls us gun owners "terrorists who should be rounded up" and WE'RE the unreasonable ones?  WTF?   God how I despise these hypocritical asshats.

Now...if you add in suicides by firearm and accidental discharges that result in death...the latter of which there are less than a thousand a year...then the number of  "death by gun" is around 25-28,000.   It's STILL insignificant when you consider the SIZE of the population of the United States of America. In a nation of, as of now, over 310 million; of which 250 million or a quarter of a billion people are adults over the age of 19?  the death rate involving guns is infinitesimal.   In point of fact the percentage of population killed by firearms each year is .009%  Do you understand that number?  That's 9 thousandths of one percent of the population!  Waaay less than one percent.  WHY are we as a nation...nooo strike that, why are YOU as a free people, allowing  a VERY small number of other people who want to control you, to use your fear, your...irrational fear...to do just that?   It boggles the mind.

I wade through that kind of  aforementioned abject stupidity, nearly every day.  I really must be a closet masochist to endure that stupidity willingly. *headshake*

TANSTAAFL and....
I now return you to your regularly scheduled inanity and insanity.
