Published on Sep 29, 2014

Kimberly Weeks, a survivor of violent crime, is standing up to anti-gun billionaire Michael Bloomberg and his gun control efforts. Listen to her call Michael Bloomberg out on his hypocrisy and say, “Mr. Bloomberg you do not have the right to tell me how to defend myself.“

Absolutely, women should be trained and armed.

But the bad guys down like the varmints they are.

Sorry, but I’m a little L libertarian pro-choice pro-life zealot. 

No one has the right to agress on another human being.

“Victim disarmament is the view that it is somehow better to see a woman raped in an alley and strangled with her own pantyhose, than see her with a gun in her hand.” — T.D. Melrose

RANT: Recognizing Islamic terrorism when one sees it

Beheaded in Oklahoma – What the Media & the Government Won’t Tell You
News
Sep 30, 20140 28

*** begin quote ***

According to the reports from major media sources, Oklahoma police sources, and the feds, the fellow who beheaded one of his coworkers was upset over being fired and it’s a simple act of “workplace violence.” Kind of like Ft. Hood. As we’ve reported, this isn’t a simple act of retribution against an employer or coworkers, this is Islamic terrorism come to our shores, as was Ft. Hood.

*** end quote ***

Who believes this is “workplace violence”?

Where is all reaction by those Muslims who are peaceful?

Argh!

FUN: Screw is a funny word

Sunday, October 5, 2014

http://gizmodo.com/why-screws-tighten-clockwise-1639456879

*** begin quote ***

Screw is a funny word.

Since at least 1725 it has meant to copulate, and since 1900 it has meant to cheat or defraud.

“To screw up” dates from 1942, while not having your head screwed on right has been an expression since at least 1821.

The screwdriver cocktail traces its roots to 1956, and the screwball as a pitch to 1866, while as a person to 1933.

Laughing!

GUNS: Shaneen Allen avoids prision

Saturday, October 4, 2014

Shaneen Allen to Avoid Prison as New Jersey AG Revises Sentencing Guidance for Gun Law Violations

Posted on September 26, 2014

*** begin quote ***

In a stunning outbreak of sanity in the Garden State, Atlantic County Prosecutor Jim McClain has reversed his earlier decision to seek prison time for Shaneen Allen, a single mother from Philadelphia who was facing felony prosecution for misunderstanding concealed carry reciprocity rules. The decision came after John Hoffman, acting New Jersey Attorney General, issued statewide guidance to county prosecutors clarifying the application of New Jersey’s mandatory sentencing scheme to certain minor firearm violations. These developments mean that not only will Ms. Allen and her children be spared the ordeal of her facing a felony conviction and lengthy prison term but that other travelers who unwittingly violate New Jersey’s harsh laws gun laws may also avoid a similar nightmare.

*** end quote ***

Could it be that Ray Rice getting a pass to “pre-trial intervention” and the Shaneen Allen facing a 5 year prison term from the same Prosecutor and Judge get enough “heat” placed on Prez candidate Guv Christie to “reverse course”?

Christie came out on NJ1015 radio and said he’d pardon her.

Considering the politics, I bet the phone and email lines were burning!

The last thing that the politicians and bureaucrats want is for The Sheeple to wake up!

Argh!

Good for Ms. Allen. Bad for the taxpayers of the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee!

And, why don’t we have concealed carry reciprocity rules nationally? I think we do for drivers’ licenses!

INTERESTING: Prevent or alleviate Alzheimer’s for 15¢ per day?

Transcript: Treating Alzheimer’s with Turmeric

To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring, watch the above video. This is just an approximation of the audio contributed by Katie Schloer.

*** begin quote ***

There is a long list of compounds that of been isolated from turmeric, and it’s possible that each component in the mixture of curcumin-like compounds plays a distinct role in making it useful against Alzheimer’s disease, and hence a mixture of compounds might better represent turmeric in its medicinal value better than curcumin alone. But why concoct some artificial mixture when Mother Nature already did it for us with turmeric? Because you can’t patent the spice. And if you can’t patent it, how are you going to charge more than 15 cents?

 *** end quote ***

When we think of the devestation that Alzheimer’s causes, it would seem that “we” would have a “national experiment”?

Financially the Gooferment picks up the tab for custodial nursing home care when the victims go broke. Seems like a cheap and easy thing to try.

Even if it doesn’t work, the cost is trivial. $100 per year versus $100,000 per year.

Bottom line: if you can’t patent it, how are you going to charge more than 15 cents?

Argh!

GUNS: Dealing with stalkers

“Holy Sh*t. I Survived.” Woman Shoots Elusive Stalker Who Tormented Her For Six Months, Then Bares Her Soul OnlinePosted by Bob Owens on September 26, 2014 at 4:33 pm

*** begin quote ***

I Shot My Stalker Tonight

I’m writing this staring at the mess the police left for me, in a bit of a fog. After 6 months of stalking and threats against my life my stalker finally snapped and decided to kick my door in and make good on his promise. Out of fear, the past month I had begun sleeping with a chair propped against my front door, to give myself a few extra precious seconds in case of emergency. I shudder to think how differently things might’ve turned out had I not barricaded the door. I awoke around 115 am to the sound of the door giving way after one kick followed by the sounds of my stalker struggling to dislodge the chair while forcing his way inside. I jumped up and grabbed the gun I’ve learned to do everything even shower with. I stood at the top of my stairs and fired twice. Hitting him in the chest, I hear his scream, his disbelief that I’d stood up for myself.. 0 to 100 in milliseconds. I’ve never been so afraid in my life. I do not know if he is living, but I do know the police have him and that’s what helps the most. For months of him evading the police I began to question whether he was unstoppable. Untraceable. Houdini, he would murder me and get away with it. As of now I’m in a haze of guilt, surprise, relief and disbelief. I shook as the canines drag him out from his hiding place under a bush. I survived, where so many people do not. Holy sh*t, I survived.

*** end quote ***

That solves that problem.

As readers know, I think “restraining orders” should come with a “hunting permit”.

In this case, the “bad guy” was stopped but a “good woman with a gun”.

She should work on her aim.

Varmints — two and four legged — should be put down for good.

SERVICE: Stop crime one bike at a time

We’re witnessing the power that a small, but targeted local petition can have over the war against bike theft. Please join our petition: Demand eBay and Craiglist Require Serial Numbers on Bike Listings.

$400 Million in Bicycles Stolen Annually

That’s a lot of bicycles from owners who, in some cases, invested heavily in their two wheels and depend on them to get around. In the U.S., only 18 percent of bicycle thieves are ever arrested. One reason is that victim and thief rarely know each other. Another reason is that bicycle theft is largely a crime of stealth, one that goes unnoticed or unchallenged. Then there’s the problem of proof of ownership — most owners simply can’t provide enough details to help investigators locate a missing bike. Even if the bike is recovered, detained suspects are often released due to the proof-of-ownership problem. This is why so few recovered bicycles are ever returned to their owners. When thieves steal bikes, they often sell them to get rid of the evidence and cash in on the crime.

How Thieves Sell Stolen Bikes

The Internet has been a huge tool for bicycle thieves. Criminals waste no time putting stolen bikes on online eBay and Craigslist to sell them and rarely get caught or punished. Once a bike’s serial numbers are removed, thieves can unload a stolen bike to an unwitting consumer with very low risk. It’s too difficult to identify a bicycle in an online listing (even with a photo) to prove ownership or to get law enforcement to act. Unlike motor vehicles (where standardized VIN numbers, mandatory licensing and required incident reporting can help locate and ID a stolen car, van or truck), bicycle registration is not widespread, making ownership difficult to establish. There is one crucial thing we can do to help stop bicycle theft: no serial number, no sale.

SORTWARE: IOS8 HEALTH is lame

Monday, September 29, 2014

The IOS8 upgrade carries a “HEALTH” app to the first screen.

(Even if I didn’t want it. At least “TIPS” went on the last page.)

It’s OBVIOUSLY a placeholder.

The select an emergency contact feature doesn’t work. 

And it does NOT have a provenance, versioning, or linkage to other “health” data sources.

Not Apple’s best work.

Suspect Charged With Abduction in Case of Missing UVa Student
Sep. 23, 2014 7:26pm Oliver Darcy

*** begin quote ***

Police are looking for Matthew, who was last seen Saturday when he stopped by the police station to ask for a lawyer. Police say he sped away afterward, losing officers who had him under surveillance.

*** end quote ***

Of course, have you heard the ineptitude of the cops!

It’s reported that he admitted buying the girl drinks.

That’s a felony and they had him cold!

Book ‘em Dano.

And, people continue to believe that a truly free market couldn’t come up with a better “service”.

Argh!

Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. And here’s an example.
