Well That Could Have Gone Better

Technically YASD, but still I was up against it!
Dumplog here from the Nethack Alt.org Server

For those who care, I had about 8 pets that had all starved or been murdered, so I was alone, collecting much-needed food in Sokoban. This owlbear had grabbed me, and my health was running dangerously low.

I made a bad choice by killing him with a bolt of fire. The bolt bounced and hit me….I survived that. But my potions of Gain Ability, and Potion of Gain Level (seriously! Now that’s just cruel!) boiled and exploded and THAT killed me!

I should have used the wand of sleep to knock him out and kill the bastard while he snored.

Oh well, this is what makes the game the greatest!

To Follow

This comes up a LOT about George Zimmerman. “He should have never gotten out of his car!” or “He was Stalking Martin!” etc etc.

First go have a read of Bob’s post here, and he makes some great points that I feel no need of addressing.

I will say that Zimmerman is well documented in being concerned about the safety of his neighborhood, his property, and the property of his neighborhood. He states concerns about break-ins on the non-emergency call to Police.

Then he notes that Martin runs off.

Now let’s not use 20/20 hindsight. The discovery pages note that Zimmerman has called the police several times about suspicious persons, and the police arrived too late to find the suspect every time.

Here’s my question. At this point why would you stay in your car? Why would you call the police in the first place?

Now most of us don’t take up the mantle of neighborhood watch that Zimmerman does, and I’m sure many of us COULD have called the cops for something they saw, but chose not to bother.

But Zimmerman DID. Not knowing that an attack that would turn deadly was about to transpire (and honestly, I still don’t understand WHY the events as they appear to happen DID happen and result in Zimmerman with a battered face, and Martin dead), wouldn’t you try not to lose track of Martin so MAYBE the Police could find him when they arrived.

Otherwise, I’d just assume the cops would have made a lap of the neighborhood and then head home finding nothing.

Just a thought. What do you think?

Also full disclosure, I’ve worked private security, and I have followed people I suspected were engaging in illegal or dangerous behavior at a safe distance, while waiting for backup before we took action.

WTF Spam

Just got this spam comment.

It links to the Ari-Zona Tea page for Watermelon tea and reads as following:

I’m a sterotype in a can. I denounce myself!

OK then! You made me laugh!

I still won’t buy your junk because I drink REAL teal, not your muddy sugar water.

More Zimmerman/Martin Evidence

Autopsy Report.

Looks like the cause of death was a direct hit from a 9mm JHP to the heart. From all sounds the JHP performed well in terminal ballistics.

The alleged abrasions on Martin’s fists are not well documented. The only evidence I read was a circle with “Abrasions” on the left knuckles in the pictogram. Maybe I missed something?

Toxicology reports low levels of THC. We KNEW this was going to show up no matter what, as Martin was suspended for drug possession at school a week earlier, and it was for an empty baggie and a pipe. We can do the math. Given that THC is a fat-soluble substance it takes a long time to clear exposure from your system (ie: you can smoke crack, or bang heroin on Saturday Night and so long as you keep hydrated, piss clean on Monday morning at work…but you spend an evening in a hash bar in Amsterdam on day one of a week vacation, you still might test positive for marijuana when you get home) and the levels aren’t high. Unless they missed something, evidence indicates he was probably sober at the time of the shooting.

There were signs of mild anthracosis on the lungs, which indicates he was a smoker. Also he had two tattoos, that are only described as “Symbols and letters”, but no notations about dental work. This leads me to believe the pictures of the young man with the gold teeth is NOT Trayvon Martin.

Also his height and weight are given as 71 inches (5’11”) and 158lbs.

There are also the discovery papers here. I haven’t read the whole thing, but it does document the candy, and tea, as well as gives the ammunition headstand as S&B 9mm. Given that its a JHP its probably this stuff. Says a lot for how bullet technology has come, given that this load is a cheap 9mm JHP, and it was fired from a subcompact handgun, but it seemed to have both penetrated, and expanded. I’m generally less picky about advising bullet selection for people with .45s because the round is proven even with poor terminal performance, but the general advise is to spend the money with 9×19 because you don’t want that round to fail. Its an N of 1, but its something.

I’ll have to read the hundred pages when I get a chance, but let me know in the comments if I missed anything, or you find anything interesting in the evidence discovery.

Joan Doubles Down

She Tweeted it Yesterday, and then doubled-down with a blog post. Lately Joan’s blog posts have been nothing short of an embarrassment. They’re disjointed, mostly quotes from other anti-rights shills, and really don’t follow any one train of thought. This one is a little more coherent, so I’ll reward her with a post!

Raise your hand if you think it’s a great idea for these Michigan militia members to get their arsenal of weapons back after serving time in jail. Really, where is common sense? I submit to my readers that when something like this can happen, there is something seriously wrong with our system. Yes, these 3 folks were acquitted while other members of their group were not. But really, what were they planning with all of these guns? Did they really have what was claimed to be a gun collection? Does one also collect ammunition just for fun if one is not planning to use it someday?

What an idiot! But it gets better with this!

Remember now, these are the very same people that the NRA and its’ minions want to become a “protected class” ( see my last post). We should worry about protecting these folks?

Well given that you want to take rights away from innocent people JUST because you don’t like them, YES! YES WE DO! Because Evil bitches like you exist, and you are so consumed with hate, that yeah, we do!

I had a really interesting conversation last night with a man who drives a security truck for pick-up of cash at businesses in town. He is armed every day because of his job. He leaves that gun at home when he goes out and about in the community because he, like many other gun owners, does not buy into the NRA’s version of America. The idea that gun owners could become some sort of “protected class” of people seemed ridiculous to him. Like so many other gun owners, he believes in background checks for all guns sales. I know this because I asked him. He does not believe in the loose conceal and carry laws and is very opposed to Stand Your Ground Laws. He supports the restrictions on ammunition magazines so that “only” ten or twelve bullets can be shot in one round. He finds it ridiculous that anyone thinks they need more than that. He is a hunter. He is reasonable and told me he would never join the NRA. And he finds the organization to be irrelevant in today’s world and understands that we should be trying to stop some people from owning and carrying guns.

First, who knows if this is true or not. Still one must question this security driver. He carries every day at work. How many ND’s has he had? How many people has he shot in error? So what’s the big deal carrying off duty?

Also gotta love Joan applying this gun owner to “many gun owners”…first no Gun Culture 2.0 gun owners would tolerate Joan, and certainly Joan doesn’t associate with anybody but “Progressives”, so maybe she THINKS this is common, but she’s self-selecting.

Again no rational is given for any of this shit, just that its “Common Sense”….well just because. Sounds like common sense to me!

But, as it turns out, all kinds of people who shouldn’t be carrying guns in public do so anyway. In Florida, according to one gun permit “instructor”, it’s “pretty freaking easy” to get a permit. Great. How reassuring. Raise your hand if you think the following is O.K. with you

Shouldn’t be carrying in YOUR eyes (again with taking rights away from people you hate!), I’m all for Vermont Style carry. Why should I ask permission to exercise a right. Oh you can tell Vermont, Wyoming, Alaska, and Arizona, because THE STREETS ARE RED WITH BLOOD!!!! (or not)

So good job at an *almost* coherent blog post. She’s already done another one, so her coherent streak was broken at one.

This is the VERY BEST the anti-rights side has. No wonder we’re winning!

“Gun Death” Stoop

Not only do anti-rights people talk about “Gun Death” as a danger to the general populace, but also against Police Officers.

A man accused of shoving a city police officer off a stoop to his death during a domestic violence arrest last year was convicted Wednesday of manslaughter….Police Officer Alain Schaberger was responding to a domestic violence call made by Villanueva’s girlfriend, who claimed Villanueva had threatened to kill her, on March 13, 2011.

Officers tracked him to another apartment and stood with him outside on the stoop. While Schaberger was trying to handcuff Villanueva, he shoved the officer over a railing, prosecutors said. Schaberger fell nine feet, breaking his neck.

Bet he wasn’t threatening his old lady with a gun either! But like the majority of police officers who die in auto accidents, those who fall to their death, or are beaten or stabbed to death aren’t relevant to the debate. Only the “Gun Deaths” count.

More from Martin/Zimmerman

Lots of Documents and photos released from the Zimmerman Martin case.

The documents are a little small for my eyes, but the photos strike me as nothing but consistent with Zimmerman’s side of the story. His face is busted up…his hands are uninjured, and there is one spent shell.

There’s the eyewitness report that also corroborates the story.

Really the only real surprise was there WAS a can of tea! Not sure if it was bought from a Seven-Eleven like alleged, or simply brought from home, but honestly I had assumed the tea and candy was a myth invented by Trayvon’s family, along with the idea that this troubled youth was a “Model Student”.

Of course there is nothing here that shows who started the fight….but so far that would have to be the ONLY lie Zimmerman told. Occam’s Razor and all.

The racists won’t be happy with this. Keep your mags loaded, and your powder dry!

We’re going to see riots!

Lake Walk

Should have lifted weights today, but I’m still running a little slow from yesterday’s fever, and the weather was PERFECT so I went for a walk around the lake. Brought the good camera along hoping I could get shots of the baby geese, but it appears the town already gathered them up. Pretty fast work given that I first saw them on Monday.

Still I got some pix.

Would have walked right by this guy until he started calling.

There were a lot of racket-makers.
This Killdeer was doing his full display.

Didn’t get any great shots of him.

There was this duck having a snack.

Then HE started quacking at me!

Speaking of Eating, got several shots of this guy for the SQUIRREL REPORT!

And we has CARP!

Saw a pile of them feeding on the surface, but I couldn’t get a shot of them that looked like anything. Never seen them do that. Just saw a bunch of black dots on the surface, then you’d see the white of their mouths gulping stuff at the surface, and they were all piled together. NEAT!

Last, there’s an old Cemetery on the lake. The stones in this section are from the late 1700s and early 1800s, and this stone is now INSIDE a maple tree

So no baby geese, but fun afternoon!
