And we do so for a good reason…to protect society.

But a dangerous child? Oh, no, god forbid we prevent him from being a danger to the rest of society.

6’6″ thug, 17, who had to be dragged off unconscious female teaching aide who he knocked out for confiscating his Nintendo Switch

He beat his teacher unconscious and was hauled off to jail by cops (until they could figure out how else to handle him)…and an advocate claims he should have been treated differently….

While I do think folks with behavioral and emotional issues should not be jailed, and we, as a society need to show some compassion for them, I also do not think they should be in places where their outburst can bring harm to others. They need to be institutionalized to some degree, if only for the safety of others. I’m not unsympathetic to his plight, but at some point, you gotta realize that that big of a man, with emotional issues, is a danger to others.

His parents had him living in a “Group Home” because they couldn’t handle him.

And you’ll notice that the loudmouth “Mental Health Advocate” isn’t offering to take charge of this 17 year old, nearly 270 lb ,violent, emotionally disturbed kid….

I think that Pete Buttigieg is the poster boy…..a perfect example of the incompetence and lack of caring  and just plain failure that exemplifies the current administration.

While Pete was apparently a good administrator as Mayor of South Bend, he simply doesn’t give a shit anymore now that his political career is over….having been given a position in the Biden administration to buy him off from running for President  ,…he is too busy playing house with his husband and artificially created children to do his part in actually, you know, making the Dept. of Transportation do it’s job for the American people.

As the Spokesman for Slow Joe, he is exemplifying the lack of caring and compassion that Biden and his administration have for anyone in Middle America. They can’t even pretend to give a shit.

I’m now a tailgunner on a truck that delivers eggs from the farm to the grocery store.

Pretty good advice.

Sad that so many people never learn this.

” ‘Tis better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war”

Lao Tzu

In other words, be peaceful and productive…when circumstances allow. But have the capacity for violence and destruction when circumstances require.

Only then will you have a chance for peace.

The Ukrainian “conflict” (war) is an example.

So are you a gardener or a warrior

Dude gets the treasure his grandad buried when the Russians invaded….

Treasure hunter uses his father’s hand-drawn map to find buried silver – 80 years after his Polish family buried it in remote forest while fleeing WW2 invasion in what was Poland but is now Ukraine

I guess he figured he was out of time and it would be Russians that invaded again, so he finally got off the dime and began searching….before it became a part of Russia once more.

(We know it was Poland, then invaded by Russians, then Ukraine, so apparently the land changes hands often…..)

Seems that a substation caught fire in Oakland California.

So it must be those damned Right wing folks... Says so in the article..with, of course, no proof. But it must be because it happened somewhere else a while back.

Now I am not sayin’ it is, and I ain’t sayin’ it isn’t.

But why conflate the two until there is some evidence that it isn’t some other cause?

If you read this blog regularly, then you likely have become somewhat aware that all you are told by the Media is not always the whole truth….(yeah, I know, I am a master of understatement….)

If so, you should ask yourself: When did you become aware?

Go there, and read the comments. ‘Tis an interesting discussion.

For me, I think it began with my father’s father when I was an early teenager…then a teacher or two, and I think around then I began really listening to (and hearing)  what my father talked about….and it snowballed from there. They all taught me to think, and question….and slowly, piece by piece, bit by bit, the picture became more and more obvious. The doubts grew.

There were many reinforcing moments along the way…too many to list. But they added up. Carter, Bush, Ruby Ridge and Waco, GWB, GHB’s capitulation on “Amnesty”, “Global Warming”… Lots of other happenings. The Tea Parties, The reaction of BOTH parties to Trump. Lots of media stories that I was able to debunk or find the missing details over the years………the total misleading of the US people. The attempts at social engineering with the normalization in the media of the Gay lifestyle (Not acceptance, but normalization) and the push for the acceptance of the pedophiles….

I don’t believe anything they tell me and less than half of what I see .

So there, all alone on a table at the gunshow, was a nearly pristine Marlin model 39A.

I’ve been looking for a model 39M, the straight stocked version for a long time, and they are as rare as hen’s teeth. Decent 39A’s are hard to find as well….The examples out there are shot-to-shit and all scratched up or dinged up, or the join where the receiver splits is all peened up….

This one had no box, but was as new as it it had just come from the factory…..if it has 25 rounds through it I’d be surprised. It is a 1985 production. Clean, rust free, scratch free, ding free.

We haggled. He didn’t get what he wanted for it, and I paid more than I wanted…..But It came home with me. Cash sale, too.

I paid too much for it, but ain’t that always the case?

Anyway, new range toy. Nothing more fun to plink with than a lever action .22.

The Dunes Gun and Knife show in Valparaiso.

I hope my wallet survives.
