I am entertained.





The world is good at evening things out.

Tom Givens referenced this incident in his class today. I think this took place in his neck of the woods.

Just cause your event are done, doesnt mean yu can loose your head. Stay in the Village where its somewhat controlled. I hear there is plenty of partying going on there. Supposedly have a condom delivery guy. What more can you ask for. Hundreds of fit athletes ready to let off steam after their events and a guy with a bag of condoms walking around to help you relieve the stress.

So some dipshit with neck tattoos and a stolen gun gets shot by a cop, so what else is there to do but set fire to local businesses for no reason? Fucking stupid idiots.

Well, there's the looting too. Imagine the social pressure when your cuz gets a brand new curved HD and hair extensions while expressing his societal angst and you're left out.

“What are we gonna do now? Everyone playing their part in this city, blaming the white guy or whatever, and we know what they’re doing. Like, already I feel like they should have never OK'd guns in Wisconsin. They already know what our black youth was doing anyway. These young kids gotta realize this is all a game with them. Like they’re playing Monopoly. You young kids falling into their world, what they want you to do. Everything you do is programmed. I had to blame myself for a lot of things too because your hero is your dad and I played a very big part in my family’s role model for them. Being on the street, doing things of the street life: Entertaining, drug dealing and pimping and they’re looking at their dad like 'he’s doing all these things.' I got out of jail two months ago, but I’ve been going back and forth in jail and they see those things so I’d like to apologize to my kids because this is the role model they look up to. When they see the wrong role model, this is what you get. They got us killing each other and when they even OK'd them pistols and they OK'd a reason to kill us too. Now somebody got killed reaching for his wallet, but now they can say he got a gun on him and they reached for it. And that’s justifiable. When we allowed them to say guns is good and it’s legal, we can bear arms. This is not the wild, wild west y’all. But when you go down to 25th and center, you see guys with guns hanging out this long, that’s ridiculous, and they’re allowing them to do this and the police know half of them don’t have a license to carry a gun. I don’t know when we’re gonna start moving. I’ve gotta start with my kids and we gotta change our ways, to be better role models. And we gotta change ourselves. We’ve gotta talk to them, put some sense into them. They targeting us, but we know about it so there’s no reason to keep saying it’s their fault. You play a part in it. If you know there’s a reason, don’t give in to the hand, don’t be going around with big guns, don’t be going around shooting each other and letting them shoot y’all cause that’s just what they’re doing and they’re out to destroy us and we’re falling for it," Patrick Smith said Sunday.

At least he admits that he was a poor role model for his son. His thoughts on guns are somewhat conflicted and inconsistent, but he owns up to his role in what happened.

We have bent over backwards and spent trillions of dollars trying to elevate poor black America. IMHO, "they" are just trying to remove the cancer that is killing the host and for those acts, "they" are being murdered in cold blood, wrongfully accused and then maliciously indicted by an inept and politically driven legal system.

[Wobblie]

"Ther're out to destroy us" and "remove the cancer" are the same thing, seen from different perspectives. Since our trillions haven't "elevated" blacks we should probably just send 'em off to the camps.

Did we cover this one yet?

My take:

1) she was targeted for robbery because she was open carrying, not because she is female or small statured.

2) she was extremely lucky.

Woman who shot, killed armed robbery suspect in Glendale says she had to protect herself

AZ: Woman Openly Carrying Glock Threatened by Armed Felon; She Kills Him

A woman openly carrying a Glock was threatened by an armed felon in the early morning hours of 1 August, 2016. She was leaving the gas station with a drink in her hand and the Glock on her hip. Her daughter would be turning three in about a week. From abc15.com:

Miracle said she was leaving the Circle K near 59th Avenue and Camelback Road with her family early Monday morning when the suspect, Frank Taylor , tried to bum a cigarette. She told him that she didn’t have one, and then seconds later, Miracle said, she could feel the barrel of the gun against her skin.

“He put the gun up to my neck and said, ‘It’s loaded, don’t move,’” Miracle said. ”I think he thought, ‘She’s a little girl. Maybe she doesn’t know how to use her weapon.’”

Miracle said, “I dropped my soda, released my gun from my holster and cocked it. I shot him and ran in the opposite direction."

There were witnesses and surveillance video, both of which backed up her story.

Carolann says she "cocked it". I suspect she was carrying Israeli style, in condition 3, with an empty chamber. If you practice pulling and releasing the slide as you draw, it can be fairly fast.
