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.

and the people were serious, then she’d have reason to be scared.

Thing is, folks like me and my friends don’t do “Kill Lists”….and if we felt you needed to be dead, you’d simply cease to have a heartbeat and would be cooling towards room temp…No notice, no threats. Most Trump supporters are like us. Liberals bluster, and threaten and such…Conservatives just get the job done.

 Kathy Griffin claims people are threatening her, and she is skeered. 

I’m thinking she is simply looking for attention since everyone is shunning her due to her bad taste in jokes….

Trump proposes 15 BILLION dollars in cuts in Federal Spending. 

We just need him to make this happen every month from now on….

Four Women Accuse New York’s Attorney General of Physical Abuse.

Now, on the one hand, he was a great proponent of the “#Mee Too” movement.

On the other hand….4? All at once?
‘Tis interesting how these women find each other and gang together suddenly, innit? That they all just happened to do so at once…??

Then again, if true, it is one more example of a hypocritical politician (and lets face it, both sides have too many of ’em) saying one thing and doing another. 

I’m betting he angered someone in power …and that person is orchestrating this campaign….but the lifestyle was obviously there to exploit. 

Ollie North to be named as President of the NRA. 

Pete Brownell made sense.

Ollie North? Really? What is he bringing to the table?

I mean, he’s better than Lon Horiuchi I guess….

The SJW’s have finally found a way to destroy the Boy Scouts…..

And here is why:
