I, Nazi

Wishing people “merry Christmas” instead of “happy holidays,” is thus in line with Trump’s decision to ban citizens of Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, critics say. It fits neatly with his refusal to condemn white supremacists when they march against diversity, and with his condemnation of athletes who protest police brutality against black men. [More]
God (Allah? Gaia?), I am so sorry. 

And I just found out "It's a Wonderful Life" is "inherently sexist."

I guess people like me are too old and hateful for reeducation camps, so all that's really left is to turn in those guns and go stand over by that ditch.  Because face it, I'll never be able to make restitution for all that racial and gender privilege I've been exploiting at the expense of oppressed minorities.

“Every year in Wisconsin, thousands of people, mostly women, seek help from law enforcement and the legal system, because they believe someone they have a relationship with, may harm them,” Governor Walker said. [More]
Or at least they say they do.

And the upshot?
...a procedure for persons prohibited from possessing a firearm under domestic abuse, child abuse, or harassment injunctions to turn over their firearms. If the person does not surrender firearms as required, the court can issue a warrant for the person’s arrest. 
Without even being charged with a crime, let alone convicted?

With "battle-tested leader in the fight to preserve Second Amendment rights" like these, who needs gun-grabbers?

You Can Stop the Signal?



War On Guns Correspondent Neil W was one of the readers who sent me a link that resulted in this post. As is my practice, I sent him my link to let him know his tip was used.

Facebook marked my reply as spam on a thread he initiated with me. It's not the first time he's alerted me to that.

My whole policy on "social media" -- I don't use it for social stuff, but solely to publicize my work.  As such, I don't send out "friend requests" because that would be spamming. All of my "friends" initiated contact with me, and I screen them to try and avoid trolls and whores.  Ditto, I find I'm in a lot of groups I never even heard of -- someone took it on themselves to add me. So if any of those don't want to see my links, they're free to back away.

What I don't know is if an anti did slip in and has filed spam complaints, if someone or some algorithm at Facebook is doing it, or if this particular account has a security setting triggering a spam designator. Naturally there is no obvious way to contact anyone on Team Zuckerberg and who's got time to waste on "help groups"?

Right now I have one question: Anybody else on Facebook seeing my links tagged as spam?

ShotSpotter Alerts Police To Lots Of Gunfire, But Produces Few Tangible Results [More]

Per WarOnGuns Correspondent William T:
I read your article re: the missing Captain, and noted your tongue-in-cheek reference to "CopSpotter". For whatever reason, I decided to do a search to see how effective the ShotSpotter system might be. If the article I found is anywhere near accurate, ShotSpotter is worthless. I used this Forbes article as the basis of the attached S/S.

I downloaded the data files Forbes purportedly used to produce their article, but was unable to reconcile the raw data to the web article. I'm attaching the ZIP file I downloaded, as well as an Excel spreadhseet that demonstrate how useless ShotSpotter is. Hope it's useful.

But hey, you get the budget, you gotta spend it if you want to "justify" more next year.  Isn't that the way it works?

Plus if your ineptitude and corruption allows things to get too hot, you can always hold another "buyback" dog and pony show.

Former talkshow host and comedian Rosie O’Donnell proudly and openly attempted to bribe Republican Senators Tuesday night, which is of course a felony. [More]

What? War is Hell?

What Might Civil War Be Like? [More]
