A whole lot of air has passed the lips of a large number of senators….and there has been a whole bunch of outrage tossed out by a bunch of “conservative” senators and congressmen at the crap that went down at the IRS.

There has been shouting, and glaring, and veiled threats, and insults, and a bunch of people have been yelled at….

But nothing has been done. No one has been charged, no real investigation has taken placed. Sure the heads of the departments have been grilled and taken to task, but ultimately, here is the result of that.

NOTHING.

Nada.
 Zero.

No one has lost a job.

No one has lost their pension (and this is worse than jail for a government drone).

No one has been charged with a crime.

No one is in jail.

So all that those senators and other government officials have done is waste a bunch of time…and a bunch of YOUR money holding hearings that are, essentially, worthless.

WHEN WILL WE SEE CHARGES?

When will people go to jail?
Lose their jobs?
Lose their government pensions?

Until then, you’ve wasted our time.

To my dog, I really think that we’d both end up dead. Him first, then me, by his fellows….because cop. Might happen face to face, might happen from about 600 yards away. But it’d happen…..
Seriously.

Think Henry Bowman….

Watch. 

I gotta feel sorry for the cops who had to deal with this mess their fellow officer left them. Must have been embarrassing.

And the question comes up, as pointed out in the video, “why not back off?”.

Because cop, that’s why.
He had a mission, and that is all. Look for a missing boy, so invade anywhere he wants, destroy any threat.

It is a shame that the other (good) officers allow cops like this to be on their force. There are good cops. But they don’t chase the bad ones away.

The public, it would seem, is outraged. As they should be. 

This officer is still on the force, still on duty, and is “awaiting the results of the investigation”.

Now, if you or I were to go into a private residence, open a gate and shoot a dog, FOR ANY REASON, would we not face punishment? Why should this officer not? He, not the taxpayers should be paying restitution and big fines. Not the city he works for, but HE personally. Instead he is protected. Because cop. See also: Blue Line

No more of the “Qualified Immunity” that is blanket for a cop.

Even police dogs are more equal than others…. “We couldn’t let them fight”

NOT!

I got an automated response in my email, telling me someone would get back to me shortly regarding my plea for relief from the increasingly strident requests for more money. So far they have called me 4 times at home this week and 6 times on my cell phone (or at least they were people representing that they were with either the NRA or the NRA-ILA. (The NRA must keep detailed records: my original application to the NRA only had my home number. The only time that have given them my cell phone was when I was trying to get them to resolve an issue with my instructors credentials).

Anyway as of right now, the NRA hasn’t responded. However, I have, at least as of Friday morning, not gotten any phone calls on either phone number. Might be a coincidence, or maybe they got the message.

However, it would be nice to hear from, you know, an actual human, either via telephone or at least an email.

An apology would be even better.

But silence, at least when they are leaving me alone, is acceptable.

The Chinese had them from about 605 until 1905.

The term comes from the latin: Mandare: To rule. They did so in China, controlling access to the throne and enforcing and interepereting the laws and edicts of the Emperor. They were rife with corruption and essentially answered to no one.

We have them today. They control the bureaucracy of our government just as they controlled the government of Imperial China then. They are, essentially powerful men and women woth no worries about liability for their actions.

Don’t believe me?

Read THIS.

But, really, we need more of this.

Entire park district board placed under Citizen’s arrest…..and the Sheriff upholds the arrest!

Seems that the park board forgot that they were public servants and that they had to follow the laws….And that they were not rulers of the citizens, but rather servants of the community.

I think we need more of this. Up to and including our congressmen and women, and especially our Senators.

The IRS too. Especially them.

Let us see if it does any good:

Your continued pestering me for money via telephone and email, especially telephone WHEN I HAVE REQUESTED THAT YOU NOT CALL ME, is becoming offensive.

BUT IF YOU CANNOT CONTROL YOUR FUNDRAISINGS (especially ILA),  I will CEASE to be an NRA member or supporter.
Enough is enough. You get my support, but STOP ASKING ME FOR MONEY TIME AFTER TIME. You are PISSING ME OFF.

Godammit, leave me alone

2nds call this week: one to my cell phone (how in the hell did they get that? They asked for me by NAME!) in the middle of the day, and now one in the evening at my home….I have requested that they STOP pestering me for money (and I talked to a real live person that time).

The mass mailing probably cost tens of dollars every year, the telephone calls through some third party fundraisers can’t be cheap (and hey, folks, at least try to get they dude making the call to be able to read the script well enough to sound as if he wasn’t reading in front of the class in say…third grade) and the cheap gifts made in China aren’t gonna get a you plugged nickle, and are going to make me choose not to be a member very very soon.

And my range requires that I be an NRA member….

Anyone know anyone at the NRA who can make this stop?

Seems that the Supreme Court actually made a decent, well thought out decision regarding the privacy of the contents of your cell phone.

It now is required that police get a warrant when wanting to search the contents of your cell phone. No matter WHY they arrest you, they have to get a warrant for the information in your cell phone’s memory… Contacts, calls, texts, etc re confidential information until and unless the po=po find a judge and convince him/her that the in your phone is somehow relevant to a case they are making against you….

This is BIG.

Reposting from Old NFO:

SO we have an unfit mother….Who lost her child because her child was removed from the home by CPS.
We have the father, a deployed naval sailor.

We have an activist asshole judge, who provides no recourse for the father to appear in court or lose custody of his daughter…EVEN THOUGH HE IS ON A SUBMARINE CURRENTLY UNDER THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

Now me, I see a good reason for a protest outside of the judges haunts….a loud one, making him very nervous….trample his her flowerbeds, ruin his her neighbor’s peace and tranquility, follow him her wherever he goes, etc.

Peacefully, of course.

And as I posted on NFO’s site, I’d break into the gun fund to contribute to a legal defense fund. 

*Updated: Seems the Judge has seen fit to modify her ruling. Perhaps the bad press (and the fact that she looks like a fool) has made a difference? 

I still think she has disqualified herself from any judicial duties outside of traffic court, if that.

Kinda what my week is gonna be like.
