“Gun Death” Bike

And not Motor Bike, but Bicycle!

A bicyclist has pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter after running down a 71-year-old pedestrian in a San Francisco crosswalk, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Ran down an elderly man in a crosswalk, and was going fast enough to kill him. There is some severe negligence right there.

Under the unusual plea deal last week, Chris Bucchere, 37, would not serve any jail time and instead be sentenced to three years of probation and sentenced to 1,000 hours of community service in the death of Sutchi Hui of San Bruno on March 29, 2012, San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon said.

Gascon believes it could be the first vehicular manslaughter conviction in the nation involving a bicyclist. He plans to provide more details during a news conference later in the day.

Now this is very similar to the whole “Gun Death” metric, because this isn’t a motorbike or a car doing the killing, but a bicycle, we’re NOT sending this shit to jail? Care to explain that to me?

I guess only motorbike deaths count, just like only “Gun Death” Counts

Massachusetts “Justice”

This story is a “Gun Death?” tale, but I think the nature of the ineptness of the Massachusetts “Justice” System trumps all. Remember this is a state where I can only buy certain approved pistols, cannot buy a semi-auto rifle with a folding stock or a threaded barrel if it has a removable magazine, cannot buy or own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, and need an expensive permit to simply BUY or OWN ammo, let alone a working gun.

Meet Jared Remy

As with most men who allegedly commit domestic homicide, Jared Remy—son of broadcaster and former Boston Red Sox player Jerry Remy, and himself a Red Sox security guard until he was fired for steroid use in 2008—gave everyone lots of warning. When he was arrested Thursday night on charges of stabbing his girlfriend, Jennifer Martel, to death in front of their 4-year-old daughter and neighbors, it was only one day after he had been brought in front of Waltham District Court in Massachusetts on charges of slamming Martel’s face into a mirror—and was then released. Despite 14 previous arrests, including domestic violence against two other women, Remy was allowed to walk free without bail—just a paper-thin order to not abuse Martel. The next night he, in the words of Martel’s mother, “went back and finished the job.”

This all happened despite the option, recently highlighted in a New Yorker piece, that exists in Massachusetts to hold high-risk offenders in jail for a period of time, after a “dangerousness hearing,” to prevent them from doing things like murdering their victims.

So we have a violent, drug-abusing repeat offender with a protection order against him….and he is simply allowed to walk free without so much as posting bail so he can murder the victim of his latest domestic violence charge.

Hey, but at least he used a knife, right? Those Massachusetts gun laws are keeping us SO safe!

The Joyce Foundation says: “Massachusetts, You’re More Likely To Live Here! Most Effective Gun Laws in the Country, Lowest Gun Fatality Rate.”….rings rather hollow as innocent people bleed out from stab wounds from KNOWN violent offenders.

We don’t need gun control, we need CRIMINAL Control!

The Antis And Justifiable Homicide

This little quote has been making the rounds. Others’ comments can be found here, here, here, and here. and the quote:

CSGV Self Defense

The others all have great points. The one I want to expand on is how RADICAL CSGV and their compatriots are. First up you’ll note this is NOT a gun statement. They make no reference the TOOL used to defend innocent life. Sure one can use a gun, as its a VERY good tool when it comes to enacting deadly force. That’s why cops carry guns even tho they have all sorts of other cool tools hanging off their belt.

Still the tool could be a knife, a club, a rock, a stick, or hands and feet. Think about that in the context of this statement.

CSGV is AGAINST JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE! Can you think of ANY nation, high income, low income, first world, third world, or any hemisphere that doesn’t have SOME SORT of law on their books that protects a killer who killed to protect their life, or the life of another innocent person? I sure can’t. I know that in the UK justifiable self defense is VERY difficult to defend, and anything but improvised weapons are deemed by the courts as some form of premeditation. Also they believe in matching the force of your attacker. But you can beat a mugger or a rapist to death with your fists, your feet, or a rock or stick if you’re so lucky and be deemed as justified in your actions by a court of law.

Essentially what I’m saying is that the idea of righteous violence, even deadly violence is an innately HUMAN trait.

This is my point, CSGV and the other anti-rights, anti-freedom cultists aren’t just against the rights of Americans, or Gun Owners, but the rights and nature of HUMANITY.

While the anti-social actions they take aren’t as severe as those who rape, or murder without remorse, their sentiment should be seen as just as alien to any healthy human no matter who you are, or what culture you call your own.

This is how radical they are, and how monstrous they are. Many have pointed out their designs might simply be from selfish self-preservation. Given the threats CSGV has leveled against innocent civilians, I can understand that sentiment. Be it calling for the murder of an innocent man or their thinly veiled threats against bloggers on twitter or even the floor of the US Senate, their actions can be extrapolated to a point where one might be justified in shooting these fanatics to defend innocent lives, and of course that would not be optimal for them.

Still I suspect they are indeed THAT mentally damaged that they can’t even relate to something that is a core pillar of humanity itself.

“Gun Death” Hammer in New York

Wow, what’s to blame, hammer control, or New York’s gun laws?

Two men were attacked in Harlem early yesterday by a hammer-wielding gang of thugs, police sources said.

The first victim of the seemingly random violence, Timmie Sampson, 31, was hit in the head with a hammer outside 1370 Fifth Ave., at East 115th Street, at about 12:45 a.m.

Sources said he was set upon by a gang of five or six black males wearing white T-shirts, and that at least one of the goons struck him over the head with a hammer.

Five or six men, armed with hammers with the purpose of committing serious violence. Sounds like a moment when I’d REALLY like to have a gun, and Harlem is one of those places where unless you are super connected and rich, you just can’t legally have one.

And even in Harlem you can walk into any hardware store and simply BUY a hammer. No ID, no background check, no records kept by the store. You can even buy them ONLINE!!!!

Remember the tool is irrelevant, its the man behind the tool!

Drink Like James Bond Pt 2: OG Bond Drink

OK so Guffaw said to the last drink

Not Fleming, doesn’t count.

I could argue the point…or I could mix another drink. What do you think I chose?

Vesper Martini

This one harks back to the very beginning of Flemming’s writing career, Casino Royale. In the book Bond orders a drink:

“A dry martini,” [Bond] said. “One. In a deep champagne goblet.”

“Oui, monsieur.”

“Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?”

“Certainly, monsieur.” The barman seemed pleased with the idea.

“Gosh, that’s certainly a drink,” said Leiter.

Bond laughed. “When I’m…er…concentrating,” he explained, “I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they taste bad. This drink’s my own invention. I’m going to patent it when I can think of a good name.”

The name he chose is the Vesper Martini, what I’m drinking is a little different. First up Kina Lillet doesn’t exist so I substitute Lillet Blanc, further the mixture of gin and vodka seems a bit frivolous to me, so I substitute New Amsterdam Gin as it is much milder in flavor than my usual Tanqueray so it has similar characteristics of gin thinned with vodka.

Also since the lemon peel is little more than a garnish I throw in some pieces of pickled lemon. The brine adds some saltiness to the drink which I prefer in a Martini, and it also softens and mellows out the rind and flesh making them quite pleasant to eat.

Its much milder than the more robust Dry Martini in flavor, making it a great choice for those looking to dip their toe into the deep water of Martinis.

Also I thought about shaking this martini to demonstrate what shaking does to a martini, but I decided against that little bit of cocktail masochism and instead allowed the fixings to sit quietly with the ice and then after a few quick swirls to integrate I strained it into my chilled glass.

The clouding on the glass is simply condensation from the evening humidity, but the drink is crystal clear and smooth as silk. There’s nothing wrong with a shaken martini, but I prefer my martinis to have as little agitation as possible while it chills.

Oh and for a deep cut for Bond fans I just found 007’s first film appearance, albeit on the small screen rather than the big screen. Casino Royal from Climax! a full eight years before the world was treated to Dr. No on the silver screen! Its horribly twisted for an American TV audience, but its interesting to watch.

Enjoy!

“Gun Death” Falling TVs

What does this sound like to you?

More than 17,000 children — one every 30 minutes — are treated in emergency rooms across the country for TV-related injuries every year, and the rate of kids hurt from TVs tipping over has nearly doubled in two decades, according to a study to be released Monday by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Prompted in part by a rash of TV-related deaths in the Chicago area, the study found that close to 400,000 children were rushed to hospital ERs from 1990 to 2011 with injuries that included concussions, lacerations and traumatic brain injuries. Children ages 5 and younger were the most vulnerable.

Sounds a lot like the “Gun Death” rantings…but this is falling TVs, not guns or bullets. Since only “Gun Deaths” count to these jackals, they are silent to this.

I love the hubris of Cenk coupled with the calm, supported reason of Lee.

Good work!

Drink Like James Bond

In the latest James Bond novel “Carte Blanche” 007 drinks several of these:

Carte Blanche Drink

The drink is two parts blended Canadian Whiskey (Crown Royal is what Bond requests, Segram’s Seven is what I have, which isn’t ideal, but you want a fairly plain whiskey so it it doesn’t distract from the other ingredients) half-measure of Triple Sec, and a few dashes of Angostura bitters.

The drink is to be served on the rocks, and given that its a variation of the Old Fashioned drink, it helps if you have an Old Fashioned glass like I do.

I realized I have and enjoy all of the ingredients, as soon as I got home (like AS SOON AS I CAME IN THE DOOR) I decided to mix up one. Damn good! Also while I dislike shaking a martini like 007 is famous for because it makes the drink cloudy and if you use smaller ice cubes like those found in bars and ice machines it will often lead to your drink having lots of mini icebergs floating in it. Since this drink is served on the rocks there is no ill effects to shaking the drink, and it does make the drink colder and gives it a different mouth feel. I have a nice little mini-cocktail shaker that is great when I’m mixing up one just for me. If I were mixing for a group I’d put ice in all the glasses, measure out the cocktail, shake and strain it into the glasses just to keep the ice even. For just me, I simply dump the full contents of the shaker into my glass.

And in the time it took to write this my glass is dry!

Give it a try for yourself! I think you’ll find it is a perfect balance of sweet and robust to suit many pallets.
