This is the shocking moment a pedestrian was robbed at a Chicago intersection by a rifle-wielding gang.

The incident took place on September 23, but surveillance video of the scene was just revealed on Wednesday after the city’s Office of Emergency Management and Communication refused to release it.

As the woman made her way across the six-way intersection at 4.45am, a silver sedan pulled up as one suspect pointed the gun at her and the others shook her down.

Remember “gun control” in Blue run cities?

If the woman was allowed to carry, then maybe there would be a lot less crime.

Argh!

INTERESTING: Houston forced nonprofits to work together?

Monday, November 27, 2023

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12785247/Houston-Democratic-city-homelessness-housing.html

How one Dem-run city SOLVED its homelessness crisis…and did it on the cheap: Houston forced nonprofits to work together, then exploited city’s loose planning regulations to build one-bed apartments for vagrants

  •     A collective effort made of 100 different nonprofits has found a way to get apartments for homeless people
  •      In the past dozen years, 30,000 homeless Houston residents have been housed and supported 
  •     The city made sure to take a more direct and cheaper approach to do so

*** begin quote ***

A democrat-run city has managed to solved its homeless crisis with nonprofits that have worked together to obtain one-bedroom apartments for vagrants. 

Houston, Texas has gone on to create one of their ‘most important innovations’ – the Coalition for the Homeless, along with exploiting the city’s loose planning regulations. 

The independent agency, known as The Way Home, co-ordinates with 100 nonprofits to combat homelessness under a collective effort in the city. 

*** end quote ***

Well, “solved” might be an overstatement.  I’m not sure that it can be “solved” without addressing the drug addiction and mental illness that seems to be at the root of the “problem”.

The reporting make it sound like “loose planning regulations” are the problem.  Maybe it’s regulations in the first place that are the “problem”?

RANT: Remember someone loaded the Jews on the trains to the death camps.

Furious Michigan town demands justice after cops kill beloved deer named Annie – as graphic video shows officer pinning doe and firing handgun

  •     Annie the deer was euthanized at a property in Lawrence, Michigan, on Friday after police arrived at the home for a separate incident 
  •     Graphic video shared on social media shows Annie wrestling with Officer David Loza who had slipped a lead around her neck before he can be seen shooting her 
  •     The death of the beloved animal has sent a shockwave through the community, prompting outrage from locals over the actions of Officer Loza

*** begin quote ***

The officer manages to pin Annie while she is laying upside down, before pulling out a handgun and firing a single shot, the deer jolts before going limp. 

Under Michigan law, only licensed rehabilitators can legally possess wildlife – meaning families are banned from keeping wild animals as pets.

*** end quote ***

“What the monsters you last interacted with did to you was cruel, inhumane, and heartless.”

The police are not your friends. They were there for an unrelated mater and, for whatever reason, decided to kill the deer.

Remember someone loaded the Jews on the trains to the death camps. The police don’t “protect and serve” us!

Argh!

Interesting that the deer was “rehabilitated” just like the “law” intended.  Probably send the carcass to the dump.   

Who or what authorized Officer David Loza to kill the deer?

Argh!

ConspiracyTheories: Was Malcolm X killed by the NYC PD?

Sunday, July 30, 2023

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12342955/Malcolm-X-assassination-witness-claims-never-interviewed-cops-heard-police-ask-gunman-saw-supporters-beating-him.html

Malcolm X assassination witness claims he was never interviewed by cops and heard police ask if gunman was ‘with us’ after they saw supporters beating him

  •     Mustafa Hassan, 84, on Tuesday told a press conference in Manhattan for the first time how he was present when Malcolm X was assassinated in 1965
  •     Hassan said he was never interviewed by police, despite confronting the man who pulled the trigger – Talmadge X Hayer
  •     Hassan said he leapt on Hayer, who later admitted to the murder at trial, and heard a group of NYPD officers asking: ‘Is he with us?’

*** begin quote ***

A member of Malcolm X’s security detail on Tuesday spoke for the first time since the civil rights leader’s assassination 58 years ago, and claimed he heard NYPD officers ask if the man convicted of the murder was ‘with us’.

*** end quote ***

On my “Conspiracy Theories” meter I’d rate it “4. Plausible”.  

I remember in 1965, that Malcolm X was regarded badly in the press and political world.  He was (imho correctly) pointing out the flaws in society (e.e., liberal meddling; the drug war; Viet Nam; racist police; and black poverty).

I wouldn’t be surprised if he was targeted by the powers that be.

Not that I agreed with all that he espoused, but he was an icon.

This assertion, while it MAY be true, comes 58 years too late to be credible.  Again imho.

INTERESTING: Didn’t anyone think about tructural fatigue from repeated trips?

Tuesday, June 27, 2023

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12228753/Underwater-survival-expert-says-materials-used-Titan-sub-tried-simply-didnt-work.html

Underwater survival expert reveals OceanGate’s biggest ‘red flags’ and says the unconventional combination of materials used to build its doomed Titan sub was NOT innovative because ‘it’s been tried and simply didn’t work’

  •     Rachel Lance, a Duke University biomedical engineer and underwater survival expert, on Thursday said OceanGate was using technology proven not to work
  •     Lance told CNN that the carbon fiber hull was already widely discredited, despite OceanGate’s CEO hyping it as innovative and safe
  •     She said some of the vessel’s design materials ‘were already large red flags to people who have worked in this field’ 

By Harriet Alexander For Dailymail.com

*** begin quote ***

He also said in 2020 that the hull had ‘showed signs of cyclical fatigue’. 

Carbon fiber is prone to delamination, the process whereby a material fractures into layers while put under pressure.

Cameron said: ‘The way it fails is it delaminates. You have to have a hull, a pressure hull, made out of a contiguous material like steel, or like titanium, which is the proven standard.’

*** end quote *** 

When I first heard about the disastrous failure and that they had been running “tours” since 2021, I immediately wondered how they were dealing with “material fatigue”.   Anyone, who has unbent and recent a paperclip know that suddenly the clip just fails breaking apart.  When dealing with the tremendous pressure (i.e., the weight of the water above you pressing down), the material must flex every time it goes down and back up.  

Surprising it didn’t fail sooner.

Requiescat In Pacem.

GUNS: Criminals don’t seem to be well trained and that’s a good thing

Thursday, May 11, 2023

Terrifying moment three would-be assassins board school bus and try to shoot boy aged FOURTEEN in ‘targeted’ attack that only failed because their gun didn’t fire

  •     Three would-be assassins boarded a Maryland school bus in masks before attempting to shoot their victim at point-blank range
  •     When the gun jammed and bullets fell to the floor, one of the attackers pistol whipped the boy before fleeing the scene 
  •     Cops believe all three suspects are juveniles, and investigations into the incident are ongoing

*** begin quote ***

Chilling photos show three would-be assassins board a Maryland school bus to try to shoot a 14-year-old boy dead in what appears to have been a targeted attack. 

The unidentified youngsters burst onto the bus in Prince George’s County, Maryland, on Monday afternoon when their intended victim was the last student on board.

They tried shooting the middle-schooler – who has not been named – in the chest at point-blank range with the boy’s life only saved after the gun malfunctioned.

*** end quote ***

Its only on TV and in the movies that guns are 100% reliable.

One of the many things that a responsible gun owner learns to do is to clear a jam quickly and under pressure.

A good think that criminals are so stupid and don’t train with their chosen weapon.

I hope these criminals get prosecuted as adults and sentenced accordingly.  

I’d like to know the motivation behind it.  If “drugs”, then I hope that the accessories get convicted as well.

RANT: Why can’t “we” stop wrong way drivers?

Two boys, both 14, killed after Dodge Ram smashed into their car on Long Island highway as ‘drunk driver’ told police he thought he was in New Jersey

  •     Drew Hassenbein and Ethan Falkowitz died near Jericho late Wednesday 
  •     Amandeep Singh was the driver; he faces vehicular homicide charge 
  •     Two other boys aged 16 and 17 who were in the car suffered internal injuries

Two 14-year-old boys died after their Alfa Romeo car was struck by a suspected drunk driver who was traveling the wrong-way on a Long Island expressway. 

Drew Hassenbein and Ethan Falkowitz died near Jericho late Wednesday night after Amandeep Singh, 34, crashed his Dodge Ram into them, the New York Post reported.

They were pronounced dead at the scene, while two other boys, aged 16 and 17, who were in the car suffered internal injuries. They were in a stable condition in hospital. 

*** end quote ***

I really don’t understand how parking lot owners can stop wrong way drivers (i.e., tire shredders), but Gooferment highway “engineers” can’t.

It seems real simple to me.

I bet the tire makers would applaud the new business.  I’m sure all the victims of these killers would as well.

Argh!
