Baby Plague!
This one was weird. I had what felt like that scratchy sore throat you get just BEFORE you get sick for almost a week, and the last 4 days I have felt like I had a horrible hangover.
Hangover without the joys of being drunk first! LAME!
Still this morning is the first morning where I felt well rested and good despite going to bed right after dinner all week.
The “Gun Death” cult loves to say that having a gun will turn a simple argument into murder:
Authorities are investigating a murder following a domestic situation in Granville County.
…According to the sheriff, a husband and wife were having an argument when the wife, 40-year-old **REDACTED**, stabbed 35-year-old Carlos Russell in the neck. The victim was taken to Granville Medical Center where he was declared dead.
…Little domestic stuff was going on, but not this bad. Not to go this far, yeah,” Lester said when asked if she saw any signs of violence before Wednesday’s incident.
Authorities said they had been called to the home quite a few times in the past.
According to the sheriff, the couple’s 15-year-old daughter was home at the time of the assault, watched her mother stab her father and called 911 for help.
She was not the only child living with the couple, according to Lester.
Now this is a terrible case, and I don’t know if self defense is even a factor. What I will note is that while not all houses have guns, all houses have knives, and all domestic relationships by nature will have disagreements and arguments.
What you don’t see is murders like this. It’s almost like the tool doesn’t cause the crime.

From Joan’s Comments Texas TopCat says:
“there a time when the citizens of a country need to decide what kind of country they want?” – good question. Now, for me it is a place where individuals are responsible for their own protection (SCOTUS Castle Rock) and that where the only people not allowed tools for that protection are protected by police due to a special relationship, like Secret Service Detail or locked up in prison.
We have perfect examples in prohibition and “the drug war” as to the results of government attempting to be involved in things that they should not be involved in.
Great comment, and Joan’s Response:
This would be a world where no lawful authority exists and anarchy would result. This is a dangerous world for sure and not what most Americans want.
Perfect Non-sequitur there! Just like the antis response to “We don’t need NEW laws, we just need to enforce the ones we have, and repeal the ones that only effect the lawful!” to which they respond! “So you want to get rid of stop signs and murder laws? YOU WANT ANARCHY!!!!!”
No, Anarchy is what we have now. We have gangs ruling our inner city with illegal drugs and illegal guns, and the police don’t enforce those laws because it is dangerous to do so. When a career criminal goes before a judge he plea bargains and gets away with the majority of his crimes and is back on the street.
We have DEA agents sending SWAT teams into homes where career criminals have tipped them off that there may be drugs. We have wire trappings, we have egregious searches and seizures looking for a dime-bag of pot.
We have guns being sent over the border to cartel soldiers by US officials, and a stream of illegal aliens who are not being prosecuted for their crimes.
Still the solution to these issues is NOT more laws, and more laws are what “Progressives” always want. Laws are the bars around the cage we have built for ourselves. Freedom loving people HATE the cage, while anti-freedom “Progressives” want that cage to be fortified.
They love the cage because they HATE freedom.
Two men have been indicted on murder charges in the 2013 alleged gang-related slaying of a teen whose mutilated body was found in a forest near Houston.
…The body of 16-year-old Josael Guevara was discovered Sept. 23 in Sam Houston National Forest. Authorities say the victim, who was a sophomore at Klein Forest High School in Houston, was struck with a machete and a bat.
Brutal, horrible, reprehensible, but not a “Gun Death”.
Not what you think.
Remember this photo?
That was little LaWeer’da’s first trip to the grocery store. She rode in that little cart cozy to better hold her upright because she couldn’t sit on her own, also to give her stuff to play with when she got bored.
Well little baby has graduated!
Now she rides in the cart all by herself to her favorite place on the planet! She LOVES the grocery store!
Also look at how much she’s grown between the pictures!
The dogs are trained to react when the officer is interested, because the handler is the one who hides the drugs, and rewards the dog when he finds the drugs. Except the officer knows where the drugs are, so the dog simply learns how to read the K9 Handler.
Drug sniffing dogs are worse than chance, this is not nefarious it’s just bad animal training. The owner of Clever Hans was NOT a con-man, he just was unaware that Hans was reading HIM when he got close to the correct number.
Also I love the “If you don’t have drugs in your ass you have nothing to worry about!” Yeah how about your vehicle being tossed, your body being searched, and unwanted X-rays, and possibly probing hands in your fart box?
That is not my idea of a fun evening.
I’m not going to the comments where they debate if the pilot was in error or not. I’m just glad he got out safe.
Still wicked cool watching the rocket on the ejection seat deploy!
Since I got a kindle I have read as many books as when I was trapped on a boat for weeks on end. It’s just so light and small that I take it everywhere with me.
LOL! If you want to know what I’m reading you’re just going to have to ask me…but not when I’m reading, I’m probably into the book.
Great video:
Gun laws not being enforced, police staying away from dangerous places to save their own asses, and politicians pushing for more laws that also won’t be enforced.
Remember the anti-freedom people don’t want to be called “Gun Control Advocates” but “Gun Safety Advocates”. When do they advocate for actual safety?
A northeast Ohio man who had previous arrests for domestic violence against his wife has pleaded guilty to strangling her.
… **REDACTED** had several arrests for domestic violence. Last July he was sentenced to two years of probation after pleading guilty to felony domestic violence. He also was ordered to have no contact with Carolyn Booker.
Police records also show **REDACTED** was arrested in March 2013 after he threatened to shoot his wife with a handgun, which officers confiscated after the arrest.
So he threatened “Gun Death” and abused his wife. Police took his gun away, and the courts ordered him to keep his distance…so he strangled her!
In the anti-rights world this is a success because a “Gun Death” was prevented.
In reality-land the advice is if you have a domestic partner who is violent, get that court order and arrests, but also GET A GUN, and when they come back to finish the job SHOOT THEM!
Not all “Gun Death” is bad.
