I would like to apologize ...

.
... for the conspicuous lack of posting.

I've had some internet problems, and I've had a dog missing for 3 days. The internet is working well now, and the dog returned this morning, so I'll be lovin' on her for a while (yes, I'm one of those!).

Given that this is a holiday week, it's not likely that I'll post much if anything the rest of the week. In any case, I wish everyone a safe and yummy Thanksgiving Day and I hope you all enjoy your family to the fullest!

I've been thinking ...

.
... and my conclusions aren't pretty.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

 Those who make peaceful revolution will make violent revolution inevitable. JFK
I've was thinking about the David Eckert case out of New Mexico, after reading an update by Mike McDaniel (he's an excellent read) and I came to a realization (trust me, it's not the first time).

No one, save perhaps the doctors, will be held accountable for what happened to Mr Eckert. The judge won't be punished; the ADA will not be punished; the officers likely won't be punished.

Nothing will change in our country until certain people start dying.

Until the government can be trusted* ...

.
... I can no longer support the death penalty:

But of course we don't measure justice by how many people the state executes. We measure it by how well states and counties administer fair trials and due process. And the problem here is that there seems to be a strong correlation between counties that frequently send people to death row, and counties with high rates of wrongful conviction, forensics scandals and prosecutorial misconduct, as found by appeals courts.
 In my neck of the woods, it was the case of Tonya Craft who, after even the father one of her accusers told investigators that the daughter and mother were making shit up, was charged with 23-odd charges of child molestation.

She was found Not Guilty on all counts and spent $500k on her defense. I know that's not a death penalty case but if you pay attention, there are lots of folks getting out of prison and an equal number of prosecutors that double down on their convictions.

I believe that the death penalty, fairly applied is just. What we have now is anything but.

A call out ...

.
... to all Texas A&M alumni:
A full-time professor on the faculty of the newly-minted Texas A&M University School of Law called for the repeal and replacement of the Second Amendment on Friday.
Call the president of the university and tell him 'No more money until this bint is fired.'

I've got an idea ...

.
... of how to handle this:



If you're walking down the street and 'urban youths' approach you, you should stop, face them and immediately be ready (as in it's half-way out already) to draw your firearm.

But that's just me.

I hope this doesn't get kicked out ....

.
... when it gets to court:
Sheriff's deputies must face claims related to their shooting of a man who heard possible intruders outside his home and stepped out with a gun to investigate, the 4th Circuit ruled.
 This one is interesting because the man suing did have a gun, but the judge basically ruled that the deputies fear was unreasonable.

And just so they know; if you want to speak to someone at their house, knock on the door and announce yourself ... don't peck on the window.

I would really like to help ...

.
... but alas, it seems you're on your own:
Gonzaga University is a private Roman Catholic university located in Spokane, Washington, United States.
 I applaud these two young men who protected themselves via the bet means available.

It's just too bad that the university would rather they be injured or dead.

This is definately ...

.
... a goodness thing:
A couple of weeks ago we brought you up to date on the new Autumn blockbuster, Chevron’s Revenge: The Good Guys Strike Back. The huge energy company (and major American employer, let’s not forget) was taking New York lawyer Steven Donziger and his pals who had been attempting to pick their pockets to court for a RICO trial. The case has been proceeding in a stately fashion since then, with more witnesses appearing to describe the extremely shady events which led to the original judgement against Chevron.
Trust me, it gets better. Apparently the judge didn't remember even any of the less salient points of the decision, which is alleged to have been written by Donziger.

I hope they drain every penny ... corporations do enough shady shit without having plaintiffs resort to fraud.

Yeah, but it wasn't ...

.
... Rape rape:
So, whatever happened to "keep your laws off my body" anyway? And how does the so-called "War on Drugs" permit the police to rape innocent civilians? 
David Eckert underwent 2 instances of having fingers inside his ass, 2 x-rays, 3 enemas and a colonoscopy. All of this happened after the first emergency room refused to perform the exams (because it was unethical). But Gila Medical Center stepped up and gladly died the exams ... and then billed Mr Eckert!

I've already heard a couple of places advocating a .270 solution. Can't say I disagree.

This is how the debate ...

.
... on Obamacare should go:

Napoleon once said, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” House Republicans have decided to follow that advice, often reiterated by John Boehner, according to National Journal’s Tim Alberta and Billy House.  Rather than launch a public-relations attack on ObamaCare, they’re going to let it speak for itself and head home for the recess[.]
And every time a talking head asks a Republican what they are going to do to help fix Obamacare, the only thing out of their mouth should be "Well, we've voted how many times to repeal Obamacare but the Democrats in congress know what you need better than you do, and You're Welcome."

Oh, yeah ... Republicans don't want that to happen, because they might actually have to espouse true conservative principles.

Vox shows that you should never ...

Especially when the girl can't keep her mouth shut about how bad she is.

Also note that, so far, there have been no female officer graduates from infantry school.
