3 Boxes of BS

Folks, I agree with Sparky that there is too much violence, especially in property crimes.

Saying “No”, barring entry into a house, or using non-firearm violence is resisting criminals, right?

It is  only a matter of degrees of violence between saying “no” and shooting a criminal, I think it is incumbent on those who do not want to resist criminals to do their part to reduce violence.

So I propose that we implement a new law — named in honor of MikeB30200; The Spineless Homeowner Eliminating Extraneous Physicality (S.H.E.E.P.) Act

if his intentions were not to rape and murder but just to steal the microwave and slip back out the door?

The provisions are designed to reduce violence, damage to property, risk to the criminal thugs and allow the spineless homeowners who want to enable criminals to live their principles.

It is here by decreed that those who believe “it’s not worth anyone getting hurt over property” should:

1. Place a large (minimum 3′ x 4′) sign on their property expressing their beliefs.
   Such phrases as “Gun Free Environment” or “It’s not worth dying over property” or “Just give them what they want”
   A.) A pictograph of a Sheep can be used in place of text.
   B.) For those who are unwilling to let criminals run rampant, alternate signage can (but is not required) displayed. Recommended wording “Don’t, Own Gun” or a pictograph of a DOG can be used.
2. Identify and properly mark at least one (1) entry way that will remain unlocked at all times.
   Entry way must be large enough that most property can be easily transported through it.
   A.) A Fine of not less then $1,000 will be accessed if there is not at least one (1) unlocked entry way available.
3. Please in an easily accessible location an up to date inventory of the contents of your domicile.
   Inventory must be updated within 24 to 48 hours of change — a $500 fine if not updated.
   A.) Pictures are not required by recommended
   B.) Sizes and condition on all property is required to be included on the inventory
   
4. List days of the week and the times you’ll be available to assist criminals carrying large or heavy items out of your house. (Can’t have the criminals pulling a muscle stealing your stuff).
   A.) A fine of not less than $500 will be accessed if the criminal complains you failed to help in the theft of your property.
5. All jewelry shall be required to be prominently displayed with values and sizes noted.
   A.) A fine of not less then $1,000 shall be accessed if a piece of jewelry is found to be an imitation or of lesser value then noted.
   (Side note — there will be a grace period of 90 days on this provision, for those males who need to replace fake jewelry or come clean to their significant others.
6. No resistance is to be given regardless of the demands of the criminal unless said demands are of a lethal nature.
   A.) A fine of  not less then $50,000 or a sentence of 36 months in jail will be accessed for any participate S.H.E.E.P. who resists any demands of a criminal.
   Edited to add
7. Participating S.H.E.E.P. will also be unable to avail themselves of the legal and/or emergency response system. Since calling 911 for law enforcement assistance is simply employing force by proxy, there will be up to a $10,000 fine per call to 911.
   A.) Also since the homeowner does not believe property is worth someone being hurt over, no charges will be filed by the District Attorney against the criminal. After all, going to jail would definitely harm the criminal.
8. Participating S.H.E.E.P. will also be subjected to additional penalties if they call any professional exterminators, pest control, or animal control for infestations or any animal simply acting in accordance with nature.
   

I’m tired of people like MikeB302000 advocating we live our lives at the whims of criminals and criminal enablers like themselves without, and that is the big issue, without living their values.

Here is an opportunity for those people to show the world if they truly will live their values or if they nothing but the hypocrites we believe them to be.

Please join the discussion by adding your own provisions.

Okay folks, I’ve been trying to avoid Sparky but somethings just aren’t meant to be.

First up is the comment he left here, which I’ve approved (minus the link to his site) to show that I’m not making this up.

My thoughts and prayers are with you too, Bob. Or at least they’re with your wife, for you I’m still hoping you shoot yourself in the foot – just a graze. (please smile at least, man)

Does Weer’d mean his wife is sick too? I may have seen that before but I forgot. Same goes for her. I am a believer and I believe that lots of prayers and good wishes do lots of good.

This “believer”, this husband and former Marine  tries to pass off a wish for me to injure myself as a joke. Sorry Sparky, it isn’t funny — not at all. It really fits in with the meme “Why are anti-gun advocates so violent”.

And by the way, how many people think his well wishes are sincere or just another attempt to troll for blog hits, eh?

And exactly what I have done MikeB302000 to deserve such an injury? Sought to protect my rights, protect my family, protect my wife or enable her to protect herself ? Or do you think that someone who had 4 procedures in a month, is currently undergoing chemotherapy should be forced to fight hand to hand against anyone who wishes her harm?

It shows your true nature when you can not even sincerely wish well of my wife without showing what a hypocritical piece of trash you are.

Second is a blog post he did at his place regarding a 69 year old grandmother who defended herself from a violent thug.

This young man was wounded quite seriously. He could easily have been killed. What if his intentions were not to rape and murder but just to steal the microwave and slip back out the door? In that case, and I know we can’t know that and the lady was within her rights to defend herself, but if the kid wasn’t really a lethal threat, the response was excessive. Am I right?

Wouldn’t there be a middle-ground approach too? How about telling the burglar, “I’ve got a gun on you, turn around and get out.” I know that offends all you letter-of-the-law guys who fantasize about just this kind of opportunity, but putting aside all that macho nonsense for a minute, wouldn’t it have been better if granny had scared the kid away instead of shooting three times at center of mass?

Let’s take this putrid comment in sections, eh?

MikeB302000 seems to be saying that a person’s property doesn’t really belong to them if a criminal wants it. How is that reasonable or sensible?

but just to steal the microwave and slip back out the door?

Think about that….people shouldn’t interfere with criminals if all they wanted was property. Never mind that at 69; it might be the only way she had to cook or that she would have to chose between medicine and replacing property.

Hey Sparky, is there a list of property it is acceptable for a thug to steal (TVs, DVD players, etc)  and a list of property (prescription medicines, family heirlooms, etc) that we can use violence to protect?

Nope, Criminal Enabler MikeB302000 doesn’t want people to stop thugs.

This young man was wounded quite seriously

Maybe if he didn’t want to be injured severely; he shouldn’t broken the law.
The homeowner isn’t a mind reader, she doesn’t know the thugs intentions.

Maybe MikeB302000 would rather the homeowner be subjected to treatment like this:

After Green suggested that Stewart change his life by reading the Bible, he began choking her. She said he ordered her to pull up her T-shirt so he could see her breasts, then unzipped his pants and fondled her while he masturbated.

“He choked me where I couldn’t breathe,” she testified. “I thought he was going to kill me.”

Next MikeB302000 consistently advocates for forgiveness and multiple chances for criminals while calling for single strike laws for gun owners.

These aren’t my words, this are MikeB302000‘s words — all the while wishing harm on me — not serious harm, just a grazing wound.

I really wish this was an aberration for MikeB302000 and his fellow criminally enabling, anti-rights advocating gun control friends — but it isn’t. Neither is the type of crime in either story. Thugs will seek to prey on senior citizens; both for fiscal gain and their own warped goals.
I really wish stories like the one in Fort Worth were uncommon but they are not.

Hey Sparky, can you tell everyone just how a home owner is supposed to know which thug breaking in is JUST a THIEF and which is a RAPIST or MURDER? Or does the homeowner have to wait for the thug to start the rape/murder before defending themselves?

People like MikeB302000 want to deny people the right to defend themselves — note the outcome in the two different stories.

The Senior Citizen who had the firearm – unharmed.
The Senior Citizen who had a baseball — molested in her own home

It leaves no doubt in my mind which side MikeB302000 is on  and it isn’t the side of the senior citizens looking to protect themselves.

Please join the discussion.

all you letter-of-the-law guys who fantasize about just this kind of opportunity

By the way Sparky, when you owned firearms — legally, were you a “letter of the law” type who fantasized about shooting people?

Is there where you developed your extensive experience with fantasies or was did it develop when you broke the law to own firearms?

That is one of the favorite memes of the Anti Rights Advocates mistakenly called “Gun Control Advocates”.

In what appears to be a complete shift of gears, I want to mention one of my favorite television shows, Spike TVs “The Deadliest Warrior”. Does anyone else watch it?

It pits, through computer simulation, different warriors against each other. I enjoy learning about the arms and armament some of history’s most famous warriors used.

So, let’s get back to busting the Lies of the Anti’s shall we
(lots of videos below the fold so I don’t run all the other posts off the page)

Remember folks, we are paranoid to think that there could be a liberal bias in the media

The Democratic total of $1,020,816 was given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks, with an average contribution of $880.

By contrast, only 193 of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863. The average Republican contribution was $744.

On the evening of July 30, armed men entered the village of Ruvungi, in North Kivu Province.

“They told the population that they were just there for food and rest and that they shouldn’t worry,” said Will F. Cragin, the International Medical Corps’ program coordinator for North Kivu, who visited the village a week after their arrival.

“Then after dark another group came,” said Mr. Cragin, referring to between 200 and 400 armed men who witnesses described as spending days and nights looting Ruvungi and nearby villages.

The gun control crowd — those I call anti-rights advocates – are very big on the whole ‘give them what they want and don’t fight back’ idea.

I have notice they tend to say so from the safety of their  homes – protected by the firearms of their neighbors, the law enforcement and the military.

And what did those villagers get from following the anti’s advice?

A mob of Rwandan rebels gang-raped at least 150 women last month during a weekend raid on a community of villages in eastern Congo, United Nations and other humanitarian officials said Sunday.

“They began to systematically rape the population,” he said, adding, “Most women were raped by two to six men at a time.”

The attackers often took the victims into the bush or into their homes, raping them “in front of their children and their families,” Mr. Cragin said. “If a car passed, they would hide.”

Wonder why they would hide from a car, could it be they feared someone who would fight back?

When the thief is in the house, there isn’t time to run out, buy a firearm and learn to use it.
When the rapists are brutalizing your wife, daughter, friends and neighbors; there isn’t time to run out, buy a firearm and learn to use it.

The Right to Keep and Bear Arms should be protected instead being subjected of ridiculous restrictions (can you say Chicago and Washington D.C.?).

Because no one should have to be subjected to things like what happened in that village without the opportunity to fight back.

Please join the discussion.

It started with a thug with a knife but I can’t even begin to figure out how many lives were impacted.

Here is video from a local station of what I’m talking about.

And it shines a on the Lies of the Antis — it’s not just property, it’s people’s lives that are being impacted.

One Woman

The incident began about 2 p.m. Wednesday when a woman called 911 to report that as she left the Sheraton Hotel parking lot in the 1500 block of Calhoun Street in Fort Worth, a man walked up to the driver’s side window of her Chevrolet pickup, reached inside and demanded her keys, a Fort Worth police news release stated.

The man showed the woman that he had a knife and grabbed her purse and keys. The woman got out of the truck, and the robber got in and drove away. She was not injured, the news release stated.

The City

Reyes said Browne had carjacked the pickup in Fort Worth on Wednesday and committed a violent robbery in Dallas early Thursday. In fact, Reyes said, he is suspected in a string of violent crimes.

Let’s see — if he hadn’t been stopped trying to steal the car, is it likely he would have committed a violent robbery on Thursday?

I don’t have details about who was robbed, but do you think it was someone who could afford to loose the money? I don’t.

How many lives did this crime impact?

Nope, again ‘reasonable gun control’ laws contribute not to decreasing crime but its increase.

Early on in the pursuit, one of the rear tires on Browne’s vehicle blew out, and the entire rim soon came off. However, he continued driving on the axle for the duration of the chase, carving a deep groove into the streets on which he drove.

How money out of people’s pocket will go to repair the damage caused by this thug instead of being used to keep libraries or swimming pools open?

How many lives did this crime impact?

The chase wound through Dallas in the middle of the afternoon — took about an hour to cover 15 miles from Arapaho Road to Love field.

It ran through residential and business areas, it even went by a hospital.

How many lives did this crime impact?

The Airport

This is where the ripple effect really starts adding up on a national level.

9 Flights on the tarmac delayed up to 20 minutes, planes forced to delay landing. Doesn’t sound so bad, right?

Except when you consider the business people who were trying to get home or to that important meeting they were flying toward. How many people’s plans were changed, how many thousands of dollars were lost due to the actions of one thug?

How many lives did this crime impact?

Thousands of dollars in sales, in salaries; in deals which fed families or put kids through school.

How many lives did this crime impact?

School is about to start — how many people missed taking their kids to doctor’s appointments or had to wait longer.

The Truth

The sequence started with a woman doing what the antis recommend — giving up a truck because it is only property.

Except that is really isn’t ‘just property’ now is it?

Sometimes I just wonder if the people involved every realize how truly inane and down right petty they appear.

The desire to make the world safe has lead to a truly astounding example of governmental overreach.

Fairfax County fire investigators charged Tegee Rogers, 33, of Herndon, and Justin Fedorchak, 39, of Manassas, with manufacturing an explosive device, setting a fire capable of spreading, and burning or destroying a meeting house. They also were charged with several state fire code misdemeanors.

Two fire-breathing bartenders face up to 45 years in prison each for performing flaming bar tricks.

That’s right boys and girls — for performing a trick that’s been around for centuries — they are being charged with felonies.

Jimmy’s Old Town Tavern owner Jimmy Cirrito said his bartenders have been entertaining his customers — by juggling bottles of alcohol and spitting out streams of flames using matchbooks and lighters — for more than a decade and no one’s complained. But shortly after midnight on July 24, two of his longtime employees were hauled out of the Herndon bar in handcuffs and charged with three felonies each plus other misdemeanors

Then we have the other end of the spectrum —The person 2nd in line to the office of the presidency if President Obama resigns said this:

But Pelosi did more than pick a side, she also took an opportunity to question the motives of those who opposed the mosque, “There is no question that there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some,” said Pelosi, “and I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded? How is this being ginned up?”

If there is no question of a concerted effort Ms. Pelosi, present your evidence!

Until there is evidence properly presented, your call to look into the funding is a classical example of fascism.

fascism (usually uncountable; plural fascisms)

A political regime, having totalitarian aspirations, ideologically based on a relationship between business and the centralized government, business-and-government control of the market place, repression of criticism or opposition, a leader cult and exalting the state and/or religion above individual rights

May I take this time Ms. Pelosi to inform you that I oppose the building of the cultural center/mosque?
At the same time I completely agree with President Obama’s statements

“As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country,” Obama said, weighing in for the first time on a controversy that has riven New York City and the nation.

“That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances,” he said. “This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable.”

Muslims do have a right to practice their religion. Muslims have a right to build on private property — but President Obama completely misses the point that they shouldn’t build the mosque there.

I’m tired of hearing how we have to be ‘sensitive’ to every other religion, culture, concept and idiotic piece of nonsense without even a shred of that sensitivity being returned to us.

I completely oppose the building of the mosque and if Ms. Pelosi wants to investigate me she’s welcome to try.

Just remember

TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 241

If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same;…
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

It’s called the Freedom of Speech — something you’ve should have learned in elementary school, much less the years you’ve spent in Congress!!
