He’s smart to stay away from private unions, because that’s the freedom of choice…but to note that when given a choice people tend to chose to stay away from unions.
But the Public Sector Unions are monsters that need to be put down. And it looks like that may be starting!
In Boston.
The deaths of a man and a woman in a fire in a South Boston housing complex early Sunday are being treated as a double homicide, and investigators believe the victims were set on fire after being slain, several law enforcement officials briefed on the case said Monday.
The officials said the male victim had stab wounds. Police are investigating the deaths as a drug-related crime, according to two officials.
In Boston there are heavy restrictions against guns…also against knives…also against drugs. Oh and arson and murder are illegal as well.
Funny how that works, criminals don’t give a damn about the law, otherwise they wouldn’t be criminals!
Still no “Gun Death” so let’s just move on!
This:
Wealthy Republicans are Destroying Democracy….
With this:
Wealthy Marxists are just “Helping”…just don’t look for evidence for said “Help”
Darrell Issa is my fucking hero! What’s with California Republicans being so damn awesome? Why can’t my commie state have awesome Republicans like this?
Just found this video via the antis.
Story here:
When Raul Rodriguez went to tell his neighbors to turn down the music at a May 2010 party, he took a flashlight, a video camera and a gun. At his murder trial Tuesday, his attorney said the video recording proved Rodriguez acted in self-defense when he shot three men, one fatally….Prosecutors said Rodriguez was not in fear for his life and had ample opportunity to leave the confrontation he started.
I watched the video. It looks to me like a clean shoot. Rodriguez remains calm and tells people to keep his distance, as well as stating that he understands that he’s being threatened with deadly force.
That being said he is also right now on trial for murder. When the drunks started upping the thuggish bravado, I’d rather be in my bed not sleeping because of the noise while the police did or didn’t enforce the law (I’ve seen parties broken up by the cops because of noise, and I’ve seen them not bother doing their jobs), than be rotting in jail awaiting a murder trial.
Of course the antis are coming down on the people who are OBVIOUSLY and OPENLY breaking the law (I assume there are noise ordinances in the city, as well as public intoxication. Also there are very open criminal threats being made by the drunks), and unless the responding officer saw things differently than that grainy video, or Rodriguez threatened with deadly force BEFORE the drunks became violent, it looks like a clean shoot.
But just because you’re in the right to do something doesn’t mean its a great idea. I think Mr. Rodriguez sees this now.
We have the cops for a reason. Unless somebody is about to get killed, leave it to them.
Carry your guns, and be safe out there!
In the wake of the Wisconsin Recall I’m just amazed at the hackery from the Left…but only because its their turn to be hacks.
I’m all for playing politics, but I just HATE Partisan politics. The GOP Presidential primary was a prime example. Seriously, a threw up in my mouth every time people called Mitt Romney a “Conservative”, or Compared Newt Gingrich to Ronald Reagan. Let’s face it, those guys are RINOS, and you voted for the “R” after their name. You’re an idiot!
Now people are talking about “Buying Elections” because Scott Walker raised a lot of funds. But they’re ignoring that Obama raised shit-tons of money with his boyish charm and Marxist Revolutionary Ideals in the 2008 election. Nor do they seem to notice that no matter how much money ANYBODY spends, it doesn’t seem to sway their vote. Hell I voted for Ron Paul in the Mass Primary, and fully plan to vote for Gary Johnson in the general election, and both of those guys are dead-broke.
Also it seems that the bloggers who bitch the most about “buying elections” are most often the people who were expressing the ideals and joys of Dennis Kucinich in 2007 (while attacking Obama and Clinton for their “Right-Wing Warmongering”). If elections can be bought, how’d you manage to overlook the rich guy and vote for the political pauper?
Meanwhile I donated for the first (and likely last) time in the Scott Brown Senate race…and then I voted where I sent my money. Funny how that works. People who raise a lot of money have a lot of support.
Also I’m sick of people on one side bitching about how “Radical” the other side has become. Look, we don’t want RINOs on our side, and the leftis don’t want Blue dogs on theirs. Bitching about “Radicals” isn’t about ideals or getting along, they just want an ideal world where if they lose a seat to the other party, at least that person will still vote with them.
And these same Kucinich types will be caught bitching about “Reich-Wing Terror” or such hardcore conservatives like Scott Brown, Olympia Snow, and Susan Collins.
And its not like any GOP-types gave Al Gore a second look when he tied Joe Liberman to his ticket. Or Right-Wing-Hacks didn’t express the shame when moderate Bill Richardson got thrown out of office.
Just fight for your own side, and let the other side do what they will!
Just listened to this Carcast
I’m really not much of a classic car guy. I love the old body styles and classic lines…but really we’re never really going backwards these days with cars. Your classic performance mustang is really today’s base model, and the performance car is yesterday’s supercar.
That being said looking over a classic sports car I always admired the stripped-down nature they had. Bench seats covered in rich Corinthian Naugahyde, maybe it had a radio, no AC, sheet metal dash, bare metal roof and floorpan. Compared with today’s high performance cars that are dripping with options. Talk to a hot-rodder and the first thing they do is dig out a ton of comfort items you just don’t need. Seems a shame to throw away perfectly good stuff simply because race car.
Nice that Subaru/Toyota are making such a car. RWD, Standard shift, and it looks like almost no options.
Man once the Scion version comes out (sorry, I just can’t plant my ass in a Subaru…just can’t) and they start filtering into the used market….nah I probably won’t, but I’ll be thinking about it.
Saw this headline and I thought I’d point it out.
Several people in northern Italy were killed by an earthquake on Tuesday, civil protection officials told CNN, saying they did not yet have a confirmed number of dead.
Italian news agency ANSA said at least three people had been killed.
The earthquake came nine days after a quake in the same region killed seven people.
Earthquakes are no joke, what they also aren’t are “Gun Deaths”, so let’s just pretend they didn’t happen.
For North of the Gun Blog Blacklist who said
Yakety Sax, the official Epic Fail music of the progressives.
BTW I had that cassette and as a young Tuba Player (Ya call me a “Tubist” and we may need to discuss “Music Theory” out in the parking lot, Mr. Man!) I played the CRAP out of that song.
In my Tuba days I always preferred the sound of a Sousaphone as that MASSIVE Bell allows for a MUCH more aggressive sound than the concert tuba.
Still I always assumed that he played that song on a concert horn with rotary valves which are mechanically faster than the piston valves on that horn, but he makes that song his bitch!
BTW the Album was my first exposure to Tom Waits with a fairly literal cover of Tom Trobart’s Blues.
Good Times!
