Seriously, Nature? We have a little rule, after the Ides of March we call it quits with this snow crap!
We have over 3″ on the ground and falling!
Grahhh, I got a bunch of crap at work right now, and now I get to come home to shovel THIS?
The Weer’d has the grumpy!
Authorities in Ecuador say a man wielding a large knife killed two people and wounded four in a crowd that was awaiting President Rafael Correa for a political rally.
Its the people, not the tool!
Thought I’d share:
While walking to work I found a shattered pair of glasses on the sidewalk that were the EXACT style and brand as mine.
For a moment I wondered if they were my glasses before I physically confirmed they were on my face.
I then checked the broken pair to see if I could salvage any parts.
Another “Gun Death” from New York:
Renz was arraigned Friday morning at a court in East Syracuse on charges that he abducted the mother and daughter as they left a gymnastics class in the Syracuse suburb of Clay.
Police said Renz raped the girl and stabbed the mother to death before fleeing into some woods. The 10-year-old girl escaped and was found by a passing motorist, who dialed 911. Renz was captured a short time later.
At the time of the attack, Renz was awaiting trial on federal child pornography charges and was supposed to be wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet tracking his whereabouts.
This took place in Onondaga County, one of the New York counties where a carry license is very difficult to obtain. Good thing too, as somebody might have shot this monster and stopped this crime! We can’t have that as it would have been a “Gun Death”!
Still why do you need guns when police monitor the whereabouts of dangerous criminals while they abduct, rape and murder!
And while I’m not unhappy to report this, it does earn the “Bad Justice” tag:
man accused of killing a Syracuse woman and raping her 10-year-old daughter during a carjacking was beaten and suffered a broken nose on his first day in jail, authorities said.
David Renz had a swollen face and tissues stuffed up both nostrils when he appeared in federal court Friday to face a probation violation charge.
I frankly think this beast should have been shot dead when he attempted to abduct the woman and her daughter, but the prison system is NOT for a physical abuse of monsters, no matter how fitting they wear that moniker. Still the system is broken as he shouldn’t have been able to do what he did under a REAL justice system.

Venezuela’s information minister says the government has decided that the body of Hugo Chavez will not be embalmed for permanent display, as officials had said it would be….The message says the commission had said Chavez’s body would have to be sent to Russia for seven to eight months to be properly embalmed.
A fitting tribute to a tyrant!
Authorities in Merced County, Calif., say no charges are expected to be filed after a two-year-old boy died from drinking cleaning fluid.
Authorities tell the Merced Sun-Star that the child’s grandmother gave the boy what she thought was a bottle of water to drink Friday afternoon. The boy had become thirsty while playing at his grandparents’ shop and the grandmother found the bottle on the floorboard of her husband’s truck.
But the bottle actually contained solution used to clean aluminum rims.
Now working in a lab, there is a OSHA rule that any bottle in the lab MUST be labeled with its contents. If you fill a bottle with water you need to put a label on it that says “H2O”, I’ve never written “Tap Water” because I’ve never felt the need to keep it around, so generally my “H2O” labels also contain “Distilled” or “Sterile” etc. I’ll also note that on one of the boats I worked on there was a Gatoraid bottle bouncing around in a bin for days filled with red liquid. Looked like punch Gatoraid…then one day the boat lost steering, and the captain refilled the steering line with the red liquid. Turns out it was transmission oil, not Gatoraid. Lesson learned.
Also on a similar note, growing up in Maine it wasn’t uncommon for there to be guns in plain sight, such as shotguns or rifles hanging on the wall, or pistols tucked in cabinets. Not sure if they were loaded, it didn’t matter, they were guns, all kids knew they were real, and we knew they weren’t to be touched without adult supervision and permission. No locks, no disassembly, no “Safe Storage” nonsense. The only gun safety needed was educating kids that guns are dangerous and they only get to be handled by adults or with adult supervision. They weren’t stored in Toy Boxes with other toys like some anti-rights studies did.
Oddly enough this can all be solved with REAL common sense. Don’t put dangerous chemicals into a bottle labeled for safe chemicals. Don’t trust opened containers. Hell don’t give a kid an opened water bottle, period, as even a bottle containing spring water could be filled with dangerous bacteria if left open for a long period of time in a warm environment!
In the end there are things more dangerous than guns, but I guess we only need to focus on “Gun Death”.
McCain is suddenly acting nice to Senators Paul and Cruz.
And Governor Chris Christie’s new found snuggle-buddies, the Democrats are fielding attacks about him being a racist.
Again, we are not a Centrist Nation! Act the part!
A woman died after being stung more than 500 times when her car hit a bee hive.
The swarm attacked the 23-year-old Brazilian woman after her car left the road in a thunderstorm on Saturday night.
Doctors in Rosario do Sul city, Brazil, said the woman may not have known she was allergic to bee stings.
Police believe she lost control of the car during the storm and her car hit the hive which had been left under a tree by beekeepers.
I’m actually going to call bullshit on the line about bee allergies. Now I may not be privy to all the coroner’s information, but I suspect 500 stings will likely kill just about anybody, even people like myself who’s NOT allergic to bee and wasp venom. Its a toxin, and while somebody with an allergy can easily die from a single sting, several hundred stings can be toxic enough to kill people.
Brazil has heavy gun control laws, they also have HUGE amounts of “Gun Death”. The anti-rights goons say this is because this is not a “Civilized” nation…which is both stupid, and racist.
What they don’t have is beekeeper control! Who NEEEEDS honey?
Also my heart goes out to the family of this poor woman, she didn’t deserve this.

Linoge Sends me this story from England:
A thug who attacked his girlfriend in the street has walked free from court after magistrates told him a community sentence is ‘tougher’ than prison.
Toby Hayden, 27, hit his partner of two years in a drunken rage when a cash machine told him he had insufficient funds to withdraw money.
He repeatedly punched Loretta Butterworth, 22, in an assault that ended only when passers-by heard her screaming ‘please help me’.
When police arrived to arrest Hayden, he spat in the face of one officer and tried to gouge out the eyes of another.
But despite being on a suspended sentence for a previous violent crime, magistrates sentenced him to an 18-month community order with 200 hours of unpaid work and ordered him to complete an anger management course.
Michael Moore wants pictures of the New Town Children to be released. Go click that above link to see the “Utopia” Mike wants for all of us.
Not only was a violent criminal not punished for his previous crimes, he wasn’t punished for this crime. And while he was severely beating his girlfriend on a public street in front of horrified onlookers, NOBODY intervened, they just waited for police. Because in the UK violent criminals aren’t severely punished for their crimes, but people who use violence to stop violence are punished. Maybe those punishments aren’t severe either, given that “Progressive” nations don’t have the stomach to punish people for crimes, but to tarnish a clean criminal record is a big deal for a lawful citizen. I know people who were pinched for minor marijuana possession that they considered “no big deal”…until later in their adult life they realized that even a minor felony charge is a taint that never washes off.
This is the world they want us all to live in. No thanks!
