They conveniently forget…..

So Paul O’Neil was shot and killed by a Chicago Police officer.  He got shot AFTER BEING CAUGHT DRIVING A STOLEN JAGUAR and TRYING TO RUN A ROADBLOCK.

Thing is, this didn’t happen to folks like my niece and nephew…they didn’t start the process by getting a bunch of police chasing them.

Perhaps once one officer used his pistol to try and stop Mr. O’Neil and the other police overreacted and used theirs just because one officer had….And it would seem that they shot him in the back (‘Twould seem that once they heard gunshots they just assumed that some had come from the fugitive Mr. O’Neil…so they assumed he was armed)

But the fact remains that Paul O’Neil started the whole business by stealing a car. Tens of Thousands of kids in Chicago and other areas didn’t do this. All those kids didn’t get in trouble They didn’t interact with the police in a negative way….they didn’t break the law….They didn’t boost a car, and drive it around. They didn’t run when confronted by a cop. They didn’t drive at cops at a roadblock with a 3000 pound vehicle.

The Press seems to forget that. They forget that the kid was, at the heart of it, a criminal…..All they can do is fan the flames when a black man is shot by cops…who was, apparently without a gun….unarmed? That depends on your definition.

But he wasn’t a choir boy….they seems to forget that.

Live by the sword……

Wow. what a chore

So, being gone for a week, and having a sorta house sitter who isn’t gun trained, we had to sanitize the house.

Normally, there are only two of us living here, both shooters, and we have firearms laying around in nearly every room (hidden, of course, but still….).

So when we left, we had to sanitize the house. Clean up, as it were. All firearms had to be pulled from their ready storage places, unloaded and placed in a safe (which is, in reality, way too small for this).

So, of course, when we got back, we had to reverse the process….

Magazines replaced, rounds loaded, firearms reholstered and put into their appropriate places….

Took a while, actually.

Sunday Morning Propaganda

So Good Morning America (CBS) is running a morning propaganda campaign about guns. (Episode 213) Over an hour of slanted reports….From the US, from Australia (WTF???) all carefully crafted and rehearsed….

Of course, they pretend it is a reasonable, calm, discussion, but it is very well crafted to highlight the negatives….the terrible damage of handguns. The sinister, hidden dangers, etc. Biased doesn’t begin to describe it….

Using government controlled and licensed airwaves, to privately disseminate propaganda…..

And no one will state the truth: That there are two minority ethnic groups that perpetrate the majority of gun violence. In fact, there is one that is about 18% of the population that perpetrates nearly 70% of the violence. And that it is almost all in inner cities. 


But that isn’t relevant, now is it?

Why some of us have a hard time trusting police

So again, we see cops get away with killing someone they shouldn’t have….

I find it odd that all four sources of video…. the 2 dashcams and the 2 bodycams all failed to work or were somehow turned off…..and that the cops testimony weighed more than the other eyewitnesses….and that there were no charges brought at all….

Were that my father or my kin, I think that my “favorite sister” would “whisper in the ear” of those deputies.

Seeing as how the Justice System has failed…..

Was it the Blue Wall that let them get away with it? Or something even more sinister?

(Story HERE, if you don’t know it).

I mean, it could happen as they left their house….up close, or from 500 yards away.

 One might wonder…will the deputies be found in their car on some rural road…..a .22 caliber hole behind their left ear….?

Hate to think that someone would go vigilante and such. But if there is no rule of law, then there are no rules, period….. and that can get messy.

I’d bet that the Sheriff who employed these deputies will be looking for a new job…

If that had been you, or me, instead of those deputies, we’d be in jail for murder, or, at the least, manslaughter.

Any cop who can justify the actions of these officers should not be a cop, and is no ally of mine. He is, rather, a threat.

Something to think about….
