Hope THIS isn’t true.

My household  spends THOUSANDS of dollars on Amazon.

If they go this route, it’ll make shopping very inconvenient for me to have to go elsewhere for my books, music and all that other stuff. Books and music are only (maybe) 10% of what I buy through them.

But if they go there, then I’ll stop using them.

I already moved my merchant account from a BOA affiliated credit card processor at my business over the Firearms issue. $400K worth of credit cards now go through another processor due to 2nd Amendment issues.

I’ll wait and see if Amazon clarifies their position.

Meteor explodes in Russia

Could happen here.

Or we could have a MAJOR strike.

Luckily, only 500 or so injured. No major injuries, and AFAIK, no one killed. Power and cell phones were disrupted for a while, but nothing permanent.

Just think what could happen with a BIG one. This one was, by comparison, tiny.”Only” 5 tons or so.

Bet the folks in Russia shit a brick.

in an article over at Uncle’s place.

Makes ya think.

comment on Dorner.

The outcome was set in stone once the cops began looking for him. Unless he turned himself in to another county, with news media present, his demise was certain.

Was he innocent? probably not. But go HERE, follow the link, and read the transcript of the final moments.

You might begin to understand.

Long, but worth the read.

Show it to your liberal friends.

And keep shooting until the threat is stopped

So says the Lewis County Sheriff Steve Mansfield.

“About the only thing I can say that the victim could have done differently (is that) he could have fired sooner, he could have fired more often, and he could have used a better brand of ammunition,”

Good advice, I think. 

It is bad enough that they use the dead children as props in their assault on your freedom.

But those who are allowing Gabby Giffords to be used as a tool in the fight for gun control should be beaten about the knees with a small ball peen hammer.

Question for the police:

Since the LAPD seems to feel that they have the right to murder Christopher Dorner….The fact that they have attempted to do so twice, opening fire wildly on pickups that (sorta, in the fact that they are pickups) resemble Mr Dorner’s…..piloted by people who don’t resemble him at all demonstrates this.

Does Mr. Dorner have the right to due process? To the assumption of innocence until tried and convicted? Or do the police have the right to presumptively kill him to safeguard themselves? I realize that they think that he killed “one of their own”, but does that suspicion give them the right to kill him over that suspicion rather than attempt to arrest him?

Do you and I have that right? Can we preemptively unload the contents of our firearms in the general direction of someone we suspect may do us harm? Do we have the right to kill someone we think may have murdered a family member or friend? Or are we required to let the justice system work and let the State decide the punishment? Have we the right to take the law into our own hands?

Apparently the police do (or at least they THINK they do, and no one is stopping them). While it appears that Mr. Dorner has done some bad things, do the police have the right to gun him down without attempting to arrest him first? For all we know, he is innocent of the charges. (probably not, but until tried, do they have the right to execute him?). They act as if they DO have the right, if only to protect themselves. I disagree. If they are that afraid, the perhaps they are in the wrong line of work. If they cannot accept that the job has a certain amount of risk, then perhaps they should choose another profession.

The police DO NOT have the right to preemtively gun down a person suspected of a crime. Period. Be it against the police fraternity or any other citizen. They may (obviously) feel that they do, in order that they go home safe at the end of the day. Or to extract “Justice”.  Too bad. They don’t have that right.

‘Cause if they have that right, then the rest of us do too. And truthfully, I think the police are as much a danger to me as any other people I meet on a daily basis. Which would make them legal targets for me. Which would turn out bad for everybody involved. Luckily, I don’t have that right….Neither should the police….nor do they.

I really don’t think that the LAPD is any different in attitude than most other police departments. Which should be a lesson for all of us.
