I blame the gun.

Illegal: “Basically”

Painfully obvious to anyone who understands that humans respond to incentives.

There are parallels between the DC Capital Riot and the 2021 summer of riot in various cities: lawlessness, mob action, violence, and property destruction. Colon-Lopez's comments were factually correct, but he used a double-standard to suit his apparent agenda. If troops think they're being spun, pr...

In this Thought Experiment, leave current non-criminal illegals at status quo, which is the best any of them hoped for when they entered this country. And a path to citizenship for those who serve in the military. But in reality, nothing can work without real border security, not some politician's p...

I have no problem with a path to citizenship for people who have been here. The government let them be here. They are here working, going to school, etc. etc. Having kids, raising families, all that. What does it serve me to kick them out now? It's not their fault the government let them be here. L...

The fed gov't still thumbs it nose at federal law. And this is why Step One of any credible legislation is ESTABLISH CONTROL OF THE BORDER FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS. Not some simultaneous DACA bullshit. Why? Because once passed, DACA is an irreversible done deal. But border enforcement can be comprom...

Does anyone here support Open Borders?

That's what we have, Real World. We are releasing Asylum claimants into the US without the will or effective means to enforce their appearance at their asylum hearing.

Why did they call an ambulance? The answer could range anywhere from "They finally realized that doing Y harder wasn't working" to "That's MPD policy under those circumstances." As I implied above, I find some fault with the fire fighter onscene - he should have been focused on ...

I've used knee on neck instead of knee on belly many times to punish froggy grapplers and never once did they die on me. Speaking of grappling, Floyd, and police applications of force - states and the fed gov't are trending toward outlawing the RNC/LVNR/Blood Choke. This will have tragic consequenc...

Cartoonist & podcaster Scott Adams is an occasional genius.
He suggested that the defense attorney in the George Floyd trial deliver his closing argument facedown on the courtroom floor with Chauvin applying the knee to his neck.

HOW DARE YOU!

How about we control our borders and control who & how many are admitted?

That's actually the current law as written but not practiced.

https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2021/03/1200/675/Mexico-migrants-Biden-sign.jpg?ve=1&tl=1 Amazing coincidence that all these poverty-stricken immigrants picked the same T shirts with matching signs. I wonder how that happened, and who paid for that. *** So...

One other point. Something that we in the Fire Service talk about but is universal in human behavior: Tunnel Vision. Once you see the situation as X and the prescribed solution as Y, if your first application of Y doesn't produce your desired result, Y harder. Even if the situation was never X or if...

In the ideal world, I'd go with the judge. But Minneapolis may have a Leftish, highly politicized judiciary that would make that decision suicide.

Milo is a hilarious provocateur. I suspect that he is, at heart, a classical liberal.

I'd be curious to hear JohnO's thoughts. He was/is a paramedic? I'm retired after thirty years as Fire Fighter/Captain and EMT. We were routinely on scene with PD before Paramedics arrived, so we got the patient handoff from the cops. Minneapolis PD policies dictate how Chauvin should have treated ...

Not a fan of ^"chimp," which many could interpret as racist. But it's a fascinating subject. For a conviction, the prosecution has to prove that Chauvin caused Floyd's death. People saw the video and instantly "knew" that Chauvin killed Floyd. BUT there are other possible causes ...

Riveting four episode documentary on the hunt for the Cali serial killer. NO reenactment, thank God, instead mostly news footage & crime scene photos from the time coupled with current interviews of detectives, victims, and victim's family members. I was left with great respect for the dedicatio...

What does "having a say" mean?

Reading "The Man from the Train," based on someone's recommendation here on IG. This is about an early 1900's serial killer. What's so fascinating is not the serial killer story, which is rather dreary, but the picture painted of the early 20th century United States. We have come so far, i...

Quartered Safe Out Here is an excellent read.

Read "Red Platoon" by Romesha. It gives much more context to what happened. And he received the MOH for his actions that day.

You think of it as protecting the "guy who maybe did it" ... It's a big step forward in civilization to try the accused. To refrain from immediate justice in favor of testing the truth. And to have the luxury of the time & wealth to indulge in such lengthy affairs. Subsistence civiliz...
