That is what the Grand Jury saw….and chose not to indict the man who killed a Deputy who entered his home at 6 AM in a No-Knock raid.

The thing is, SWAT teams and no-Knock raids have been overused, and have become more or less the standard way of police who wish to question people or search a residence or other property. Even when there is limited or no reason to suspect that the officers would be in unreasonable danger or that the occupants might resist, they are used.  Raids such as these need to be used only when there is overwhelming evidence that there is a need for them.

Had police and Federal agents not used such tactics at Waco and other places, fewer police and civilians would have been hurt and situations would not have spiraled out of control so easily.

And a Burleson County Deputy would likely still be alive.

Is a man believing that he is defending his home from invaders justified in shooting the black clad person invading his home early in the morning?

Apparently, the answer is YES.

Of course, he is lucky  he wasn’t killed by the rest of the police.

Man Charged With Killing Burleson County Deputy No Billed by Grand Jury

 At least in Texas.

Peter’s new book will be here soon!

I enjoyed the first two, and look forward to the third as soon as they collect enough dead trees to make some “real” books.

As long as we support a party who supports John Boehner as Speaker, we will continue to lose ground in this country. He is as much a art of the problem as Barry.

Stop feeding the beast. Do all you can to unfund and stop support for the RHINO’s…even if it means voting for third party folks.

Tell your friends and neighbors. SHOW them the failures of the leadership of the RNC.

Instead of the non conservative conservatives or the giant government progressives.

Today is Ronald Reagan’s birthday.

Arguably the greatest president we have had in modern times. (not that is is hard to be “greater” than the bunch we have had in my lifetime…and that is not a dig at RR either)

Oh that the Republican Party could find another like him to return this country to the path of greatness, instead of the path upon which we travel today.

Someone who believes like him:

I have often pondered this very idea.

Not sure if I was crazy or paranoid.

Yet others are beginning to think this way as well….

To believe that this is a conspiracy rather than incompetent is ludicrous….Isn’t it?

That a non-US born “citizen” could be raised up (with no one ever questioning his past or who paid for his education) and made into a State Senator from nowhere….then a Senator….then the President of the United States….who would then (essentially unimpeded by either the Congress OR the courts) implement programs that, while unconstitutional and economically foolish, accomplish the aims of his mentor….

It all hangs together neatly, which makes me suspicious.

But he is “Fundamentally transforming America” isn’t he?

And we, the citizens of the US, are allowing him and his ilk to do so.

All over again.

US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has warned the US may default on its debt by the end of the month if Congress does not raise its borrowing limit.

Rumor has it that John Boehner is practicing walking backwards.

I wonder how he is going to let the Democrats lead him….and where?
And how much the “Budget Cuts” will raise our deficit this time? 

Not what you’d think.

It’ll never pass though.

For all of you who say “Violence doesn’t solve anything”   This is a simplistic short sighted statement typical of liberals and protected people who have no idea how the world works.

Read the post:

Violence is Golden.

So very true.

Violence has solved many things. And the threat of violence has solved many more.

It is hard to make a fire small enough in the woodstove that the house won’t be 87.4 F inside.

Threfore we must use the furnace instead of burning wood.

And that adds to my gas bill.

Which sucks.
