More From Officer Roid Rage

Posted on July 29, 2011 by Weerd Beard

Looks like another video has surfaced (link here)

Seems he pulls over a car suspecting drunk driving, and in his search he finds a .25 Pistol on the floor. As we saw in the now famous viral video, Officer Daniel “Roid Rage” Harless again threatens to murder all people at the scene. This of course kind of eclipses his horrendous behavior as a law enforcement officer, as well as horribly unprofessional behavior which in themselves make him a shame to the police force.

Please note that Jay found Mr. Harless to have an extensive history with internal affairs, given how similar these two videos are, I suspect at least a few of those 16 cases are similar.

Given that he is still able to walk in public wearing a Canton PD shield, and his behavior is known to at LEAST two other officers, and given the number of IA investigations, I suspect most of the force knew him as a lose cannon, and given the Force’s one reckless disregard for the rights of their citizens I wouldn’t be happy until every member of the Police force from the Chief to the dispatchers were terminated and replaced with new, unrelated faces, and Mr. Harless stands trial for his violent crimes.

I certainly will make it a point the next time I’m in Ohio to not go anywhere near the city of Canton.

Furthermore I’m also very unimpressed by the reaction by the officer. Now again like the first video there does appear to be something shady going on. Still a gun inside a car isn’t a crime by itself. Ohio you can open carry and own guns without permits or permission. There is no word if the driver or passenger were intoxicated, nor if they were prohibited people (granted that would only be determined after the scene was secured) But just because somebody has a gun in the car is no reason to shoot somebody. In Ohio you have a duty to inform the police if you are carrying a weapon. Furthermore they were asked and lied, that’s a big deal. Furthermore there was the whole “Its not mine” bullshit. they’re probably prohibited people up to no good.

Congrats officer, you got them. Cuff and book them, and enjoy a beer and maybe a 3 hour workout session to keep those dirty muscles firm. They were compliant, they didn’t try to run, or fight. You have no justification to shoot them.

The entire Canton PD is this violent criminal, as far as I’m concerned. I don’t know why anybody would think any different.

This scene was witnessed by an officer who appears to be different than the other video

Stay Tuned

Posted on July 29, 2011 by Weerd Beard

Wow, I’m listening to Collin Goddard of the Brady Campaign Vs. Larry Pratt of GOA on NPR (three organizations that I think do more harm than good)

I’m finding the debate is a target rich environment, I’m going to have to do a fisk of this when I get some free time. Unfortunately that time is not now. Maybe tonight, possibly this weekend.

Until then have a listen, and take a stab at it. Oh and for the LOLz I heard about it through the Joyce Foundation Twitter Feed @gunshowloophole

BIG THANK YOU and congratulations to Colin Goddard who on NPR just defeated Larry Pratt

I certainly think either they didn’t hear the interview or they’re mentally ill. I know where my vote lies.

It Can Happen Here

Posted on July 29, 2011 by Weerd Beard

And lightning can strike twice in the same place.

An AWOL Army private arrested after investigators found bomb-making materials in his hotel room raised suspicions as soon as he pulled up in a cab at the gun store where he bought some of the supplies, according to an employee.

“How many people go shopping at gun stores in a taxi cab?” asked store employee Greg Ebert, a retired police officer who described Abdo as guarded and asking odd questions.

Wow. Again note that Ft. Hood is STILL a gun-free zone despite the fact that the majority of its occupants are professional soldiers. BTW note the linked story is from CNN, Of course this guy was once CNN’s darling:

Sounds like he was an expert in Islam, the “Peaceful Religion”.

Abdo is a Muslim who had been granted conscientious objector status, but he went AWOL from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, after he was charged by military officials with possession of child pornography.

Of course I am not going to Malign all Muslims, there are many Muslims that I would trust with my life, and there are others that I’m quite sure are quite pious and good people, as well as fair-weather Muslims, just like many of the “Christians” and “Jews” I know who really pick-and-choose which tenants of their religion that they can follow, and when to follow them.

Still isn’t it interesting how all these horrible violent terrorists (and in this case, a pederast) talking about the tenants of Islam. It rings about as clear as when a Christian Leader stands up against the sins of homosexuality only to be caught having sex with another man.

Last up I’d like to tip my hat to the gun shop. Good work at tipping off the police. I’d be interested to hear the questions asked. I’ve read a few quotes about him asking about smokeless powder, but sounds like there’s a LOT more to this. Note that while the Fast and Furious criminal acts were going on the Gun Shops did the EXACT same thing but were in many cases threatened to comply with the criminal acts so guns could be illegally transported to Mexican criminals.

Of course the freedom haters did all they could to talk about “Shady” or “Rogue” gun shops. They shall ignore this.

“Gun Death” Love Triangle

Posted on July 29, 2011 by Weerd Beard

I guess the best way to solve a Love Triangle is to kill one of them…

Thomas Joseph Fort Jr., 27, was found dead inside a storage building behind the home on Tuesday morning, Sheriff Brindell Wilkins Jr. said. Investigators said they believe he was killed early Sunday and died of a blow to his head.

Wilkins said the death resulted from a love triangle.

Good thing he wasn’t shot! That could have been REALLY bad, right?

Life is for the Living

Posted on July 28, 2011 by Weerd Beard

Got home from work and the weather was about perfect. 80 degrees, low humidity with a gentle breeze. So I took a walk around the lake, and stopped by the local smoke shop. Grabbed a nice cigar (Hoyo de Monterey Excalibur), and when I got home I mixed up a nice Martini (Home-made pepper vodka and blue cheese Olives) and now I’m enjoying a smoke and a martini in my Adarondak Chair “Old Tetanus”, listing to the radio, and reading web pages on my phone.

Not a cloud in the sky! This is the life!

BTW, Jay decided to take the family for a tour of Massachusetts Bay!

Well played, Buddy! Could not have picked a better day! I’ve spent some shitty-assed days on Massachusetts Bay, and today is not one of those days!

Morning Listening

Posted on July 28, 2011 by Weerd Beard

Just did a long slog in the lab, and generally I just tuck the head down, crank a few podcasts, and git-r-done.

First I must say, even if you aren’t into podcasts, or Michael Bane, PLEASE listen to his latest podcast, his discussion about the Norway shooting, and humanity in general is just amazing. Also if you’re too lazy or unable to listen his take-away is *paraphrased* “If you don’t have a carry permit get one. If you live in an area that is hostile to gun ownership, give it a try, you might be surprised. When you get your carry permit carry EVERY DAY.” He talks about the Norway shooting, he also mentions several other massacres that happened in “Gun Free Zones” (quotes because frankly how “gun free” can they be when a psycho is shooting you?). CARRY YOUR DAMN GUNS! and FIGHT BACK! With Mumbai, Norway, and Ft. Hood there is a good chance we’ll be seeing more of these type attacks. Carry your damn gun! Make the terrorists pick a different place. We can’t protect the whole world, and as little ill-will I wish, I’d rather the Next shooting be in Canada or England, than my own backyard. And if the bad people DO pick your backyard, make it the dumbest decision they ever made. Note the Norway shooter didn’t even go out with a blaze of Glory, he simply gave up when men with guns arrived.

The other Podcast I devoured was much lighter fare. JP over at Empty Mags has a great podcast up where he talks about .22 training guns, shit you stick in your range bag (FYI a squib rod to clear a barrel is a VERY good idea, one squib can totally end a range session unless you can hammer it out, and you’ll need a properly sized brass or wooden rod to do that), and a little basic chatter on reloading. Another good one JP!

Morning LOL

Posted on July 28, 2011 by Weerd Beard

From Waldo:

I have no idea what the George C. Scott Film is, but it speaks to me. LOVE the early Adam Sandler Films. Also I’m a HUGE fan of Spanglish, but somewhere around Big Daddy Sandler appeared to be working in cost-saving measures to his film. The big thing was cutting humor out of his Comedies.

I’m kinda done with him. Tho if he wants to make a few more serious films I’ll give them the college try!
