Open Letter

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Weerd Beard

To Joan Peterson from a survivor of violence (by Joan’s definition anyway)

Go read the whole thing

People like Joan are upset with us because we expose them for what they are. You see Joan doesn’t care about Sarah an Cee, and would rather they have NOT been able to defend themselves. They call us “disrespectful” to victims, but the only respect they level is using them to further their agenda.

You’ll note what they propose is holding candles, banning magazines, banning carry, banning private sales and expanding gun-free zones, among other things. What do all of these things have in common? They wouldn’t have saved any of the lives being “Honored”

Meanwhile our group made a pledge to stop ALL violence, not just “Gun Violence”, and we have the proven means to do it.

But that’s “Disrespectful” because their agenda is more important than the truth. I mean no disrespect, but I certainly will give no respect to people like this.

About Time!

Daniel Harless fired from Canton police force

GOOOD!

Unfortunately no word on criminal charges being filed. I’m not holding my breath either, but this monster needs to spend some time in Jail before he’s turned lose stripped of his badge and gun.

New Show in Town

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Been talking about it cryptically over the last week or so. The Site is a little rough, but I suspect we’re ready to roll Friday at 9pm EST 8pm Central…at least for a dry run to shake-down the new hardware.

THE SQUIRREL REPORT!

Because “Project Phoenix” Was too long and serious sounding anyway!

The “Safety” Of Gun-free Zones

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Just listen to this story.

BERLIN– German police say a 54-year-old defendant shot and killed a prosecutor during his trial in the Munich area.

Police spokesman Guenther Beck said the man opened fire Wednesday afternoon in the Dachau administrative court trial. The alleged shooter was on trial over claims he paid his employees improper wages.

Beck says he does not know what specific security measures the court had nor how the defendant managed to get inside with a gun.

Gun-free zone, a criminal, and in a nation with tremendously strict gun laws, and that didn’t stop him.

But remember, if guns were as illegal as murder, nobody would be murdered with guns!

Pro-Ignorance, Anti-Freedom

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Weerd Beard

I’m sure you all have seen the various gnashing of teeth and clutching of pearls from the antis about our little meaningful vigil.

What interests me is that not only are they after our freedoms, and attacking us for exercising them, but it appears they never even read our words. Rather choosing various slanderous things to say such as the fact that we’re “Laughing” at victims or other such nonsense.

Again candles don’t save lives, we’re concerned with results, they aren’t, and they’re infuriated at being called on it.

What’s also interesting is how much nasty stuff they’re saying about us, but with the exception of Baldr Odinson (Not his real name), and this Scripture citing charlatan , they haven’t actually been very interested in actually ENGAGING us.

Really they want to bully and intimidate us in effort to get us to shut up or go away. What’s amusing is all of us are just regular people. The participation in my vigil was far and wide, but there were no politicians, NRA Board of Directors, Heads of any Lobby or PAC groups, or even any Major Celebrities. The biggest player we got (and it was after-the-fact) was Massad Ayoob who is an accomplished Author, Trainer, Peace Officer, and Expert Witness, but unless you’re the tiny few people who can say what the initials “IDPA” stand for, you likely don’t know who he is, nor would you recognize him on the street.

So for all their efforts (and Paychecks, as the people doing the attacking are actually PAID to do this), what would they accomplish if they had 100% success?

What would they get if I shut down my blog and turn in my guns at the local “Buy-Back”? NOTHING, there are still millions more like me, and we’re vocal, and we vote.

How many are there of you?

Morning LOL

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Weerd Beard

OK this is just too silly!

Authorities say a handcuffed man has stolen a police cruiser in northwest Indiana, and he radioed police for help in finding the car’s cigarette lighter and a key to unlock his hands.

Investigators were still looking for 22-year-old William Francis Blankenship early Wednesday morning.

Police say he somehow escaped from the back of the vehicle and fled Tuesday evening after he was arrested on drug charges in Kouts, a small Indiana town about 50 miles southeast of Chicago.

Now picture that scene and try not to laugh! Still I hope the only harm he does it to the interior of that cruiser and some serious hurtin’ on a pack of Winston Light 100s.

If there’s ever a time when you fucking NEED a cigarette, its when you’re handcuffed in the back of a cop car!

Also carry your guns people, because cops make mistakes too!

Paul Bump

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Weerd Beard

So it looks like Ron Paul placed second in the New Hampshire Primary, it’ll be interesting to see where this goes. Santorum who won by only a few votes was essentially tied with Gingrich for 4rd, and they both got beat-out by John Huntsman (D-UT) who skipped Iowa and has been camped out in New Hampshire for the last month.

Certainly it appears that the polls are showing Romney at #1, and Anybody But Romney at #2. Romney has the Republican Machine behind him as he was second place to John McCain (who got Second Place to Barack Obama) in the 2008 Elections, but many are aware that Romney is the Author of Obamacare, and the signer of the Massachusetts Assault Weapons Ban, and is generally an Obama-Lite when it comes to political ideology….my fear is he’s a Super-Obama when it comes to work ethic. President Obama was barely able to pass Obamacare with a Democrat Supermajority in the Legislature, meanwhile Romney passed Romneycare (same bill) in Massachusetts as a Republican in a state that can never have more than 8 or 9 at a time. I Fear Romney as President, and you should too.

Now the other Candidates aren’t much better, and the people appear to be sampling each for a few weeks at a time before discarding them compleatly. We’ll see if Ron Paul (who in a Libertarian State like New Hampshire has a STRONG advantage) has any staying power.

Right now Paul looks like the only guy worth my vote in the Primary.

“Gun Death” Pitbull

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Yet another pitbull story.

A Connecticut woman has been charged with criminally negligent homicide in the mauling death of her toddler niece by three pit bulls.

Police say 30-year-old Erica Hobdy was also charged Thursday with reckless endangerment and risk of injury to a minor in the death of 20-month-old Neveah Bryant.

The girl was mauled by three pit bulls on Sept. 30 while she was in Hobdy’s apartment. She later died at a hospital.

Note of course “Pitbull” can be read the same as “Assault Weapon”, its just a dog, and shouldn’t be treated with any more fear, or any less respect than any other dog. All dogs can be potentially dangerous, and unlike guns, animals, having free will, can indeed “Just Go Off”.

Of course this story isn’t pointing to banning dogs, or even specific breeds (which would be an exercise in futility AND stupidity), but charging the adult in charge with the crimes she indeed committed leaving children alone with animals.

Evening VG Dubstep

Posted on January 10, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Lokidude hooked me up with this Video Game Remix

VERY good dubstep. I like how smooth the transition from 4/4 time to 6/8 moves. One of the biggest failings of dubstep is how poorly the breakdowns match the body of the song.
