“Gun Death” Drug Abuse

Interesting story. Its a death from improper use of prescription drugs.

A Leesburg man who allegedly dealt oxycodone pills to Loudoun County teenagers for years has been charged with conspiracy in the death of a reputed customer who overdosed from an injection of the addictive painkiller.

While there are some that will argue the point, Oxycodone and other opiate pain killers have very valuable medical uses, but they are VERY dangerous (and addictive) if abused.

Of course like guns, people are attempting to ban this medication BECAUSE it can be abused.

Its not the tool, or drug, its the person and their intent!

Epic STANK!

Its an older story, but MAN I had to share!

WHITING, Maine — A truck carrying herring overturned on a sharp curve near the intersection of Routes 189 and 1 in Whiting early Saturday, spilling its cargo and injuring the driver.

According to Maine State Police Trooper Andrew Foss, the driver of the truck blew a tire as he drove through the curve, causing the truck to flip onto its side.

About 22,000 pounds of lobster-bait herring tumbled out alongside the road, and the truck owned by D.C. Airfreight of Winter Harbor had $25,000 in damage.

YIKES!!! I can only imagine that the lawn it got dumped on STANK for the rest of the summer!

And last the thing of nightmares!

The crash in Whiting was the second accident of this type in Washington County in just more than a week. On July 23, a tractor-trailer overturned on Route 9 in Alexander and spilled its entire cargo of herring. The driver in that crash was uninjured.

Stank Herring coming to a lawn near you!!!!

Some Bits on Dumb Gun Laws

Of Course there’s the stupid Zero Tolerance rules which is most likely more to attempt to extinguish gun culture than to do anything resembling safety:

Little boys around the nation keep getting in trouble for guns – whether they’re made of plastic, formed by fingers or even fashioned from Pop-Tarts – but some experts say having “zero tolerance” for games children have played for centuries is turning the adults into bullies and backfiring on kids.

Elementary educators trying to discourage children from settling pretend beefs with pretend guns is nothing new. But in the aftermath of the Connecticut school shooting, and with the grownups increasingly polarized over the Second Amendment, rules for recess, on the bus and in the classroom have become stricter than ever.

Some say too strict.

“These zero-tolerance policies are psychotic, in the strict sense of the word: psychotic means ‘out of touch with reality,’” Dr. Leonard Sax, a Pennsylvania psychologist and family physician, and author of “Boys Adrift,” told FoxNews.com.

Of course guns have the capability of being used for evil, but they have a greater potential to be used for good…both defense of life, but also plain old fun. If kids are prohibited from even THINKING about guns being potentially good, it makes pushing BS gun laws in the future easier.

Laws like “Gun Free Zones”.

Conservatives and Second Amendment activists are calling into question a California state law and Santa Monica College rules that ban guns on campus, arguing that a recent fatal mass shooting only proves the need to revisit the policy.

John Zawahri, 23, killed his father and brother on Friday and forced a woman to drive him to the campus. He shot and killed three more at the school, until police responded and engaged in a shootout with him. He was killed during the shootout.

Guns saved the day, as well as shed blood. Of course being California, and being a school campus, the guns needed to be summoned along with the cops, and the shooter knew the coast was clear when there were no cop cars or uniformed officers.

That isn’t true with 90% of America, where guns can be legally carried by lawful citizens. Note also these lawful places DON’T Have spree shootings.

The antis don’t even want to talk about that fact!

Nice Piece on Chris Kyle’s Book

Glad this book is able to be published despite Chief Petty Officer Kyle’s untimely death.

Images of the Antis: Look the Other Way

This is a rich one!

Of course “NRA” is just a simple call-out (can I say “Dog Whistle?”) about the Tiahrt Amendment, which was passed by the Legislature, not the NRA. Further it doesn’t handcuff the ATF or any law enforcement agency, it handcuffs anti-gun groups looking to use that private information for their own gains, or to attack lawful gun owners, or lawful gun shop owners. And again, LAWFUL gun owners, and shop owners, because if the ATF or Police finds any wrong-doing on anybody in their traces they are charged, which is now public record.

Of course the anti-gun groups don’t care about criminals, they want to slander and label all LAWFUL gun owners as criminals, and they do this by publishing carry permit data, and other personal information for the sole purpose of harassment.

Further Irony is that the woman is asking the ATF if they can do more. MORE? When we’re dealing with an agency that ran Operation Fast and Furious which facilitated the deaths of HUNDREDS of Mexican citizens, while making ZERO attempts to track the weapons before they were returned to the US by Mexican Law Enforcement as “Crime Guns”. The sole purpose of Fast and Furious was to manufacture “Crime Guns” by giving them to known Mexican Cartel Criminals and letting those guns slip into Mexico, only to be returned after Mexican officials found the guns at murder scenes or drug raids, so that ATF could deny its involvement and blame lawful American gun owners.

Can they do MORE??? How about LESS!

“Gun Death” Hunting Dispute

Ok, this is just plain weird.

A 25-YEAR-OLD man who ate his hunting partner’s dog after it was killed in a monkey attack was shot dead by the canine’s owner with a crossbow last Tuesday. Police said the suspect and the victim were friends who were hunting together in Kratie’s Snuol district. It is understood the suspect shot his friend because he would not help save his dog from being killed in a monkey attack. The victim then took the dead dog home to eat. When the suspect saw this, he fired his crossbow at his friend killing him instantly. Police say the suspect confessed to the crime following his arrest.

Good thing nobody had a gun!

Wait for Flash

So when I was cleaning the breakfast dishes this morning we lost power…with a HUGE BOOM! We’ve been here before!

As you can see from that 2nd link generally squirrels just get struck dead with minimal damage…not today!

Blow-Up Squirrel

This guy got turned into a HORRIBLE mess. His abdominal cavity was almost completely emptied, with some of his guts left hanging from the pole by the lighting break. Much of his hair was scorched from the heat and you could smell it!

Man, electricity is no damn joke!

Big Fish and Hippie Tears!

I’ve seen a few videos of this today. That’s a BIG damn fish!

he initial news coverage of the Texas men who hauled in a half-ton shark from the waters off Southern California on Monday certainly didn’t reflect the reader reaction. Whereas broadcasters expressed awe at the potentially record-setting feat of reeling in a 1,300-pound shark, letter writers were apoplectic

And Makos are powerful and MEAN sharks! That’s quite a feat!

Still Hippies can’t let anything be!

“I am sickened and appalled at the front-page coverage of this story. Why are we glorifying such a brutal, cruel and unnecessary killing of this magnificent creature?

“These men should be charged with a crime. Maybe that would curtail such horrific killings in the future.”

Charged with a crime…for no laws broken? Gotta love “Progressives”!

Also this is hands down the dumbest comment!

“These self-satisfied males are all no doubt six inches taller and far more macho for having killed this lovely animal. What did they do with it? Eat it? I doubt it.”

Said by a dipshit who’s never tossed a Mako steak on the grill! These big Mackerel Sharks (Great Whites Included) are FANTASTIC eating fish!

Hey, but they’ll just project their own feelings based on ignorance onto others. It would be even better if these guys donate some of the shark meat (once its been confirmed as a record) to local food pantries. That would REALLY piss off the hippies!

“Gun Death” Soccor

Man the number of deaths one can attribute to European Football, I think we need some common-sense regulation!

Horrible news out of Utah late last night as a soccer referee has died after slipping into a coma following being punched in the face by a teenage player during a game played on Saturday April 27th…Police continue to collect details of the incident and as of now, most are based on hearsay. But it appears that the teen was playing goalkeeper when he pushed an opposing forward who was in the midst of a goal scoring opportunity. Portillo deemed the contact to be egregious enough to warrant a caution.

The player immediately began arguing with Portillo before unleashing a punch to the side of the referee’s head. Portillo was reportedly writing down the booking at the time of the punch. Following the punch Portillo appeared to be OK but then claimed he felt dizzy. He sat down and started vomiting blood, at which time his friend called an ambulance.

When police arrived at Eisenhower Junior High School in Taylorsville, the goalkeeper was nowhere to be found. Portillo was conscious but in the fetal position complaining of nausea and pain in his face and back. EMT’s transported him to the hospital in fair condition but soon after arriving he slipped into a coma with swelling in his brain.

Detectives searched for the player and his father brought the 17 year old in to speak with police.

Sad and brutal. Also this goes against that argument that “Guns Make it Too Easy”…seems a 17 year old with no weapons at all seemed to be able to commit murder just fine.

We still saying only “Gun Death” counts?
