Video shows apparent stabbing following Redskins – Cowboys game at FedEx Field

*** begin quote ***

LANDOVER, Md. – Video of what appears to be a stabbing at FedEx Field following Monday night’s Redskins – Cowboys game has surfaced online.

*** and ***

Another incident posted online shows a fight between fans breaking out in the stands during the game.

*** end quote ***

Hey, geniuses, it a <synonym for the ongoing act of procreation> GAME!

Sure, I raz my friends, relatives, acquaintances, relatives of friends, old classmates, and even Facebook “friends”, but when it comes to MP4B = “Millionaires Playing For Billionaires”, I don’t get that concerned.

It’s not like I am going out and “winning the game”. Or getting my <synonym for donkey> whipped or a concussion.

Get a life, people.

There are really problems in the world for you to solve. 

We have enough politicians, bureaucrats, terrorists, criminals, and ne’er-do-wells figuring out how to get us fighting with each other. We don’t have to help them by creating artificial division between us.

And, the grand cosmic scale of things, to quote Rick in Casablanca: “And you never will. But I’ve got a job to do, too. Where I’m going, you can’t follow. What I’ve got to do, you can’t be any part of. Ilsa, I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you’ll understand that.”

As a Giants fan, I have to say thanks to Dallas Cowboys. 

But, it’s a “hill of beans”.

Smarten up, people.

Argh!

RANT: It’s a GAME! Not a war.

Texas-Baylor game interrupted by massive bench-clearing scuffle

# – # – # – # – # 

Disgraceful.

What are “we” or “they” teaching these young men? Certainly not how to be a competitor, a gentleman, or a warrior.

It’s a GAME! Not a war.

Join the Marines if you want to go to war. And, they won’t tolerate such a shocking lack of discipline. 

A competitor, a gentlemen, or a warrior must be disciplined if there’s to be any chance of success in a battle, a struggle, or a life.

Very disappointing.

Bread and circuses — that’s what football has become.

Sorry, time to downsize the whole thing in importance.

RANT: Why they haven’t struck more often and harder?

Security Theater: Customary Federal Pointlessness
By Fred Reed
December 4, 2015

*** begin quote ***

The future? Hard to say. As I write, President B. Hussein Obama is endeavoring to import tens of thousands of Moslems. It will be impossible to screen them, presumably making the importation a free ride into the US for terrorists if they so choose. It is not politically incorrect to note that the countless Moslem terrorists in recent years have been countless Moslem terrorists. It is, however, true. The greatest question about terrorists is not whether they can, but why they haven’t.

*** end quote ***

Stipulating that all this “security” is nothing more than “theater”, as originally identified by Bruce Schneier @schneier.com, this is an essential interesting question.

If it’s so easy, why haven’t the terrorists struck more and harder.

It’s not like there are not huge numbers of gun free zones.

Perhaps there are NOT as many terrorists as we have been led to believe?

Maybe the pool of potential “suicide bombers” isn’t so large?

Hmmm, it which case, “cut bono”? The Gooferment keeping us “safe”!

Argh!

Wake up, Sheeple. You’re being shorn again.

RANT: What did Sandy Berger take?

Thursday, December 3, 2015

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/sandy-berger-national-security-adviser-216344

Sandy Berger, former national security adviser, dies
By Nick Gass12/02/15 09:44 AM EST Updated 12/02/15 11:04 AM EST

*** begin quote ***

Berger’s legacy was marred, however, when he pleaded guilty in 2005 to removing highly classified documents from the National Archives in Washington the previous year. The inspector general of the National Archives said that a staff member had witnessed the former NSA adviser wrapping the classified documents around his socks and under his pants.

He was fined $50,000, sentenced to two years’ probation and stripped of his security clearance for three years. Following a Justice Department investigation and subsequent congressional hearings, Berger voluntarily gave up his license to practice law in 2007.

*** end quote ***

What did Sandy Berger take?

And why?

Guess we’ll never have an answer to that question.

Had to be at the behest and benefit of the Clintons.

Another unanswered question.

RANT: Muslim taxi driver shot in the back

Wednesday, December 2, 2015

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2015/11/30/pa-passenger-rants-about-isis-before-shooting-muslim-taxi-driver-in-back/?postshare=1721448980276266&tid=ss_tw

Acts of Faith
Passenger rants about Islamic State before shooting Muslim taxi driver in back
By Peter Holley
November 30

*** begin quote ***

But by the time it was over, the Pittsburgh taxi driver — a 38-year-old Muslim man from Morocco — had a bullet wound in his upper back and was lucky to be alive, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Pittsburgh police are investigating the Thanksgiving Day shooting, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is asking for more help: CAIR, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, has called on the Justice Department to investigate the incident as a hate crime — which, it said, was “similar to a growing number of attacks targeting the nation’s Muslim community following the recent terror attacks in Paris.”

*** and ***

The cab driver told the Post-Gazette that he doesn’t want revenge, but he does want justice.

“In our religion, Islam, we forgive, even in such conditions,” he said. “I learned this from our prophet Muhammad. We don’t take revenge. I could forgive this, but I still want my rights.”

*** end quote ***

Absolutely unacceptable.

Probably a drunk from the casino trying to beat the guy for the fare.

Argh!

RANT: “Speed limits” are about revenue generation

Monday, November 30, 2015

http://ericpetersautos.com/2015/11/29/speed-averages/

Speed Averages
by eric • November 29, 2015 • 15 Comments

*** begin quote ***

For example, a memo issued to the highwaymen of Fairfax County, Virginia:

“Two traffic stops is the minimum acceptable daily average, calculated on a monthly basis. Either two summons and one warning must be issued and entered per day on average. (Two warnings are not acceptable). All days, all officers are required to be well-rounded in their production, regardless of minimum standards.”

The bolding, underlining and italics are not mine. They are in the original.

“Well-rounded in their production.”

*** end quote ***

SO what are you going to do about, you Sheeple you.

Argh!

RANT: Victims are defenseless sheeples in a virtually gun free zone!

Saturday, November 14, 2015

Surge in robberies on Capitol Hill alters residents’ routines, lifestyles
By Peter Hermann November 10 at 6:51 PM

*** begin quote ***

“I saw a guy walking toward me,” Pitluck said. “He just passed me and said, ‘Hey,’ like a greeting. Then, two seconds later, he turned around to grab my phone.” Pitluck said it took a moment before she understood she was being robbed, so she didn’t immediately let go. He punched and scratched her upper chest and neck. She screamed.

When he got the phone, the man jumped into a waiting car. A neighbor shouted out the number on the temporary — and probably fake, police later told Pitluck — tags. “We’ve got to call the cops,” the woman yelled.

“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

I would assert that it’s no coincidence that the “District of Corruption” has Chicgo like gun laws.

In the jungle, only the strong survive.

“An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” — Robert A. Heinlein

Make a few of these thugs room temperature and this will go out of fashion quickly.

From a technology perspective the carrier should be able to immediately track them and / or “brick” them, making them worthless.

Even if they are recycled, then the person turning it in should be arrest for “receiving stolen property”.

Maybe the phone case manufacturers can make them with dye packs.

Argh!

The lady who was the victim was lucky she wasn’t raped or badly injured.

RANT: “Debates” are “barbara streisand”

Saturday, October 31, 2015

Luddite asked me if I watched the debate. Here’s my reply:

# – # – #

I don’t watch “debates” because I know all I need to know with a few questions:

  • (1) Where do you stand on guns? Prove it!

  • (2) Where do you stand on cutting the size of Gooferment — specifically? Prove it!

  • (3) Where do you stand on the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs”? Prove it! AND

  • (4) Where do you stand on a non-interventionist foreign policy? Prove it!

RANT: BHO44 is an interventionist and not anti-war

Friday, October 30, 2015

U.S. to deploy special forces to Syria in about-turn for Obama
WASHINGTON | BY ARSHAD MOHAMMED, PHIL STEWART AND PATRICIA ZENGERLE

*** begin quote ***

U.S. President Barack Obama plans to deploy dozens of special operations forces to northern Syria to advise opposition forces in their fight against Islamic State, a major shift and a step he has long resisted to avoid getting dragged into another war in the Middle East.

The number of special operations troops in Syria would be fewer than 50, said a senior administration official, speaking ahead of an announcement on Friday by the administration. One U.S. official said the number was likely to be in the range of 20 to 30 but could not provide details.

The decision by Obama, deeply averse to committing troops to unpopular wars in the Middle East, would mark the first sustained U.S. troop presence in Syria and raise the risk of American casualties, although U.S. officials stressed the forces were not meant to engage in front-line combat.

*** end quote ***

So much for the Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Where’s all the anti-war activists now?

We could have elected Ron Paul — the only true non-interventionist who ran for President in my memory. 

So how is that working out for you now?

Did BHO44 run on a peace platform or not?

Argh!
