The Founders knew what was “necessary to the security of a free State.” Even if the Bradys and the government pretend they don’t. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at the exact wrong thing to do when civil order collapses.
Also resolve to do some reading to help prevent that, or to deal with it if and when it comes.

Makes me think of the paroled violent felon who said he wants his right to vote restored so he can elect gun-control candidates. They don't want any criminals getting hurt in the act of being predators. The right to life and property hampers the rise of the collective.
ReplyDeleteI plan to be watching over my home and my neighbors' in the event of an emergency. If some of us want to organize to patrol our block while armed, we will. To quote Jed in "Red Dawn," "Because WE LIVE HERE!"
David- FYI. The 'Examiner' site has become difficult to read, with all the pop-up stuff and wide margins of links to other things.
ReplyDeleteJust one opinion.
You ought to see it from my end. I'm through complaining to them, it does absolutely no good. It seems the harder we work, the more ways they think up to hamstring us and drive away readers we work hard to get.
ReplyDeletesofa,
ReplyDeleteWhile it does entail its own type of work, locking down a website's ability to annoy (via popups, surprise Flash ads, etc.) can be done fairly simply by using Firefox and the NoScript plugin, and possibly the FlashBlock plugin as well.
Using such, the Examiner looks to me to be normal and useable, with no annoyances.
One downside is that if you want to see Flash or some of the tricks a site can do with Javascript, etc., it takes a few mouse clicks and a page refresh to make the site work.

Zerby slaying:
It’s no longer an isolated incident now and then; it’s becoming an everyday occurrence across the country. Which makes me think that they are being trained to react this way. Remember the images from the post the other day of the paramilitary police in 1999 during WTO in Seattle? Those cops are the reason I moved to the islands. These cops nowadays are the reason I did the unthinkable and armed myself.
The photo of the WTO cops are at

ReplyDelete(Editor’s Note: If there are any ‘normal’ police officers left that would do the Monster an immense honor by giving an interview on police training techniques that are currently being taught that treat every corporate-owned moo as a criminal first and an American citizen (and human being) second; please get in touch with me
Jerry Pournelle on Douglas Zerby.
ReplyDeleteFor fifteen minutes the Long Beach Police watched Douglas Zerby sitting on an interior courtyard stoop playing with a toy gun. They never announced their presence. There was no danger to anyone. They never announced their presence. There were at least five police officers there. Then, after fifteen minutes, two or three of them opened fire with shotguns and pistols. There was no warning, and no command to drop the weapon. Apparently his first notification that the police were present was to be shot dead.
This, according to the LBPD, was to protect the citizens and make certain no one got hurt.
Heroic.
