“Gun Death” Heroin.gov

I HATE Methadone, Its government-made Heroin, and nothing else. You’ll note on just about every political ad about requesting funding for Methadone you will NOT hear people pointing out how it got them clean off the junk. I’ve met a few people who were addicted to Heroin and other opiates who tried to kick the habit with Methadone, they all agreed it just switched their habit to Methadone (often Methadone fortified with other drugs bought on the street), and all of the people I know who are clean off of Heroine and Opiates simply quit on their own. Well here’s another reason to dislike Methadone.

A Tennessee woman is in jail after being charged with murdering her 11-month old baby girl by poisoning the infant with methadone pills…Murphree is charged with first degree murder and aggravated child abuse.
According to an affidavit, she admitted to Memphis police that she crushed her methadone pills and put them in her baby’s food.

No Motive given, but at least in this case it was Mom’s prescribed Methadone. Since Methadone does produce a “High” similar to other opiates it has a street value, so often people who get a take-home supply of the prescription drug simply sell it on the street for cash and use the proceeds to buy their preferred drug.

Of course all this political nonsense will fall on deaf ears to those who preach the statistic “Gun Death” as violence in the drug trade is irrelevant to them, as is a dead baby with a system filled with Methadone. Only bullet holes matter to them.

Oh NO!!

As I type this I’m in a Hospital Johnny with injected alergen syrums under my skin.

I’m changing alergists, but I hoped this visit would just be a consult and not require the Spanish Inquizition.

You can’t win them all, and tonight, my dear friends, I itch!

All for my own good, now go eat your vegetables!

Coming Soon From Obama Care

Just found a Dremel tool in the lab labeled “Rat Surgery” amusing, but don’t laugh, as we’re likely next.

“Gun Death” Crossbow

What is a bow but a primitive gun?

Police have made an arrest in the crossbow slaying of a man in a library in Toronto’s east end…Witnesses told CBC’s Jermaine Hylton they saw a man approach the victim, who was sitting on a bench in the library, and then pepper-spray him. He was then shot, either in the face or the back, witnesses said.

That type of random and underhanded attack, the tools aren’t really all that important. A zap of pepper spray (or hairspray, or bug spray, spray-paint, coffee cup filled with drain cleaner….) to distract a person, then a coup-de-grace with just about anything. A rock or a pipe would be plenty, to kill.

Maybe my Canadian readers could share with me the restrictions on crossbows in Canada. I know they’re heavily restricted in most places, including requiring a pistol permit to buy in North Carolina. A lot of good all that noise does…

Dreams

For whatever reason last night I had two dreams. Dreams are a rare occurrence for me recently. Back in my offshore days I’d dream frequently and vividly. I suspect that was because of the short sleep cycle (I’d average 2-3 hours per nap while offshore) and the stimulus of the loud engines and the fact that your bunk is rollin’ along with the deck.

The 2nd Dream I recall was just dorky. I dreamed I was walking around an apartment complex with two animals from the lab with me and showing various people, just for fun and education. One was a Wistar rat, and the other a nude mouse. Being true to their nature, the Wistar was perfectly content huddling on my shoulder, but the friggin’ mouse broke free and took off running. I went looking for it and instead found a pack of American Anoles who were color-changing to pink, so I couldn’t tell if they were the mouse or just reptiles. And of course I was upset because I was outside the lab with laboratory animals…one of which is immuno-compromised, so I knew if I lost it it would be my ass. Odd and dorky.

The first dream was I was walking outside of work ready to throw a bag of trash in the dumpster. It was dark out, which isn’t very odd, as its dark around here at about 4pm, and I spotted a pair of groundhogs. There is a large groundhog that is often seen in the parking lot so it was amusing, but nothing odd. But he froze and I realized there was a coyote on the other side of the parking lot. I turned to head back into the building, and there was another coyote blocking my path. Then more…and more, I was surrounded and they were closing in. I had my hand around the .38 in my pocket (at this point dreaming that I don’t have a gun is like dreaming I don’t have pants on), and I was debating if it would be worth the legal hassle to shoot some of the coyotes to disperse the potential attack….when I realized that I was seeing a HUGE amount of animals where I typically see very few. You see orgies of animals is a common biology dream I have…comes from reading flied guides to fall asleep, I suppose. I realized I was dreaming, so instead I chose to fly away and land in a gunshow. It’s good to be the king! 😀 Of course when you know you’re dreaming you can bend reality to suit you, but it also means you generally wake up fairly soon….

Just amusing, so I thought I’d share.

Today

Things are slowly settling down in the new location, so work life is SLOWLY returning to normal. Overall mood is tired and jaded. Still I suspect there will be more opportunities for blogging soon.

I do have to take a moment to remember what happened on this date 69 years ago. Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese Imperial Navy. Tam has an interesting take on the date, by posting a picture of a Japanese Aircraft Carrier in full blaze after the battle of Midway. Indeed the Japanese woke a sleeping Giant that day, as the US was perfectly content to watch Hitler carve up Europe and stuff their Jews, Gays, mentally ill, and Gypsies into furnaces. Can you imagine how the history books might have read if the Japanese forces hadn’t attacked Pearl Harbor on this day?

On a lighter note, 7 years later my favorite singer/songwriter was born. Allegedly in the back seat of a Taxi Cab in Pomona California. Here’s a tune that I think is nice for recognizing his bittersweet birthday.

We remember our dead, and wish Tom Waits a happy Birthday.

“Gun Death” Two Stories

The “Gun Death?” category was never meant to be a current events category, but recent news stories, but I try to keep them fairly current. Appears I missed an Email from Bob S. so these two stories are over a month old.

The first is a Body Found in a Freezer.

According to warrants filed Monday, Wendy Edmond Green, 41, is charged with conspiring with two others to kill her longtime companion David Reuben Green Jr., 52, in his Northern Wake County home. She was already charged with first-degree murder in the killing.

Now, two juveniles have also been charged with first-degree murder and felony conspiracy, according to William Lassiter, a spokesman for the state Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention…When investigators opened the door of the freezer, they discovered Green’s body. The freezer was off, as was the house’s power

I wonder what gun the teens used to commit this heinous crime…

Authorities think he died of blunt force trauma as early as January.

Oh.

Second up Is even more gruesome than the last.

A mother repeatedly stabbed her three-year-old daughter before dousing her body in acid in a bid to “dissolve her away”, a court has heard…He said: “She was on the floor and not on the bed, however her body was in a state of decomposition in that the skin had melted away exposing bone, due to some form of corrosive substance having been applied to her torso.”

The prosecutor told the court that a number of stab wounds had been inflicted, most likely with a large kitchen knife, though no weapon was recovered from the scene.

The mom is a Paranoid Schizophrenic. When will we have “Common Sense” laws that make sure everybody who owns kitchen knives undergoes extensive background checks?

We all know when that will happen. The Leftists are after my guns because they don’t keep guns, they are after my pocket knives because they don’t carry knives on their person. They are NOT after kitchen knives, because they need to eat and prepare their food SOMEHOW.

They’re only after the rights they have no interest in!

Funny?

This is what the Pro-Ignorance, anti-Freedom crowd thinks is funny.

All I have to say is: “Did you pay the NFA tax stamp on that Bomb, Dana?”
