I mean, just because someone insists that one be a customer to sit in a restaurant and take up a table, or someone gets tossed out of a restaurant because one is fighting, or cannot behave….Or claims racism because they aren’t shown deference BECAUSE they are black….

I mean, I dislike and speak out against racism when I see it. (and, rarely, I DO see it). But the other side is folks who DEMAND special treatment….and when they don’t get it, try playing the race card. Sometimes one is mistreated simply because one is an ass….

I’ve been mistreated on many occasions by black or hispanic employees of businesses. They would fail to see me and take the black or hispanic person behind me. Part of living in our society. I would wager that there are more racists (for sure percentage wise) in this country who are black than white. Probably the same for Hispanics too. You don’t hear whites crying, we simply either deal with it, or go somewhere else to spend our money. (And because it isn’t worth it to try to file a lawsuit…..which is, in itself, discrimination)

But my point is that someone is behind this push for stories and op-ed pieces that have suddenly proliferated…

Is it because they plan to use race (again) as a divisive topic in the upcoming election? Is it because support for Trump and the Republican Party is fairly high among our darker citizens?

For whatever reason, Race is becoming a hot topic. I do believe that the Starbucks incident was orchestrated simply to give a base for the rest of these stories. Those men chose to be arrested, they could have stopped the process many times along the way bu coughing up $4 for a single drink…or leaving when requested after refusing to become customers. And now we have a proliferation of articles claiming other restaurants are racist. (really? 4 ATTEMPTED suits in 40 years? That’s all you got?)

So Who…..and Why?

I stopped believing that they were anything but theater about 10 years ago….once I started paying attention.

If you think that the images of the violence and the “Victims” (women trying to use the cloth of Hijabs as facemasks to filter teargas? Really? I’d think they, of all people, would know better….and why are muslim WOMEN protesting?) are anything but theater and staged by and for the media, you are a fool.

Send a few bucks, if you can, to offset the failures of the British National Health System and the bureaucrats who run it and fund the care of children. I mean, to misquote Maggie Thatcher: “They are running out of other people’s money”

Remember, this will be the fate of you children and grandchildren soon.

And I wouldn’t expect much care as you age, either. Pretty much Ice Floes for the likes of you and me. Even though we are funding most of  Obamacare, they will spend all of it on folks that won’t work and simply use, not contribute….so they gotta save money somewhere……

I hope this day is special for you.

Stone construction.

3+ acres.

Modernized in the late 80’s…

$222 Large. Such a deal….

only one issue:

It’s in FLINT Michigan.

I was in Flint about 15 years ago…It was like a WAR zone in spots.

The (ahem) more affluent, non minority suburbs were ok, but Flint proper was terrible. Sometimes only one unburnt (or still standing) house in a 4 block area.

Graffiti abounded. At dusk, the cops suggested that I might not want to stay in the area….I was not safe there…..mostly cause I wasn’t a part of the neighborhood, but also ’cause I was white.

But hey, there is a bargain home just waiting for someone.

So some woman got pulled over for speeding…

And then, went on Facebook and tried to play the Race card ‘Cause she is Black and the Cop was white.

She was, apparently, combative with the officer when she found out she was gonna get an actual ticket for 70 in a 55 zone.

“It doesn’t matter how polite you are, it’s all sick, crazy bullying and the police are ridiculous,” Hilton-Williams says in the 11-minute video, at times wiping tears from her face and speaking in a frightened tone

and then this:
“I have had a traumatic experience and I want the people who are not African-American who know me to really get where we are coming from,” she says. “When I saw the police pull up behind me, the state trooper, I was immediately afraid.”


“This is the area I’m in,” she says, panning the camera around to show the rural roadway. “In the middle of, this kind of stuff. This is where I am, so it’s not like I’m not afraid, because this is where we got lynched.”

Yeah, ’cause lynchings happen nearly every day of the week these days…….

At the end of the day, the cops BodyCam shows he was professional.

Took a kid from the flight school to the range. He like the 1911 platform, so I took my Rock Island GiImodel, my Para and my new Sig for him to play with.

He killed several bowling pins and rang the gongs to the tune of 100 of my reloads and 250 factory Federal 230g. Oddly, he likes the GI model (with GI sights) best…..must be 19 year old eyes.

I watched him and put the first 100 rounds of WWB 9mm through the pipe of the new M&P Shield.
Me like….A lot. It ain’t a 1911, but it is easier to conceal and a lot lighter….Not a bad trigger, and THIS model has a thumb safety (which is a requirement for me) and, of course, the trigger safety.. The laser was visible at 30 feet in afternoon full sunlight and was as easy to see on the light gray painted gong as the 3 dot sights.

So about an hour of detail strip and clean on the 1911’s and then however long it takes to fully strip and clean the M&P.

Terrible chores to have…..

Yet I struggle and consider this boy. Would I really want him to get a punishment that would cut him off from any opportunity or future?

Carjacked. Property taken by FORCE. Strongarm robbery, really.

Only by the grace of God that her child wasn’t taken with the car.
Yet she worries about the kid, a part of the robbery. Taking her property by FORCE. Stealing property that they didn’t ear with violence.

“but I worry about the poor young man”.

If she were bitten by a dog, would she think that it just needed “understanding” and “counseling”? Or would she want the dog locked up and/or euthanized?

I’m of the opinion that the dog is the better citizen…it probably doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong. The fokks that carjacked her did, and don’t care.

It’s no wonder that crime rises when Liberalism becomes prevalent in an area. 

Except, now, in Utah:

“Utah’s ‘Free Range Parenting’ law is a good example of common sense legislation,” Herbert told ABC News in a statement Tuesday. “We believe that parents know and love their children better than anybody. We also believe that absent evidence of neglect, danger or cruelty, parents have the best sense of how to teach responsibility to their children. Responsible parents should be able to let kids be kids without constantly looking over their shoulders for approval.”

Pretty much, I had to be home at dinnertime, and then inside at dark. I pretty much went where I wanted and when I wanted, as long as I did the chores they assigned.

If I got in trouble elsewhere, I got into a LOT more trouble when I got home or they heard about it.

Somehow I escaped being kidnapped, abducted, sold into slavery, etc.

Today, parents in rural locations DRIVE their kids to the end of the driveway and wait for the bus with their kids….. MY parents kicked me out the door and expected that I would catch the bus……And trusted me to know how to be safe.

Same way during the summer. I wandered anywhere I wanted on my bicycle…as long as I was home for dinner or informed them as to where I was.

Parents today claim that their kids live in a much more dangerous environment, but statistics don’t bear that out. Much like the “razor blades in Halloween candy” it’s just a fear that is ungrounded in fact…. just mothers being fearful.

At least Utah has decided that parents can decide when and where their kids can go and do unsupervised….and let their kids learn to be responsible.
