It will die down pretty soon, but what if it doesn't? I have two guns. I have what I call a "small gun" for a common thug breaking into my house. It is 38 cal six-shooter. Then I have what I call my "big gun". This gun is for the government violating my civil rights and attacking my house. Either way I consider it self-defense. I don't violate the law, and I expect no less from the Federal Government. As a child a vividly remember seeing films of Jews in Germany getting in line and walking into gas chambers to be gassed to death. This by the authority of the German government. Why did they allow themselves to be arrested in the first place? Maybe the reason was that they had no viable means of self defense - NO GUNS to fight back with? Our government killed somewhere between 300,000 and 500,000 (mostly women and children) in the first Iraq war. Two hundred missions a day for forty days. The Iraq soldiers were on the perimeter of the city - not in the city? Our government killed and otherwise destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians by dropping atom bombs on defenseless cities full of women and children. If anyone believes that those bombs were primarily used to end the war and save American lives, then you must also believe that unicorns crap rainbows. Our government dropped those bombs to show the Russians what the USA was capable of doing - and everybody cheered! Why would anyone trust a government that is that far off the scale of common "right and wrong". Why don't we all just turn our guns in to the Feds. I am sure they would put them to good use by selling them to the Mexican Drug Cartels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791178038803775236.post-81170277533909959782012-12-24T18:08:14.960-06:002012-12-24T18:08:14.960-06:00Yesterday I was having breakfast with some friends...Yesterday I was having breakfast with some friends in SE Asia, and as it generally does in this circle, the discussion turned to revolution, propaganda and America. The subject of discussion was the protests in Delhi and the way in which the American press has presented this story to its readers. I was holding an English version of the Bangkok Post, which showed a photo of rioters confronting police, while CNN showed an angry crowd holding signs which read “hang the rapists”. The message Americans are getting is the protests are over rape. While this is partially true, the American press avoids the real nature of the riots, which is direct confrontation with the police over oppression of the underclass. In India, the police protect the wealthy while heavily policing and fining the powerless. The people have had enough and they are taking it to the police, prosecutors and judges. Taking it directly to them. Yes America and Kerrville, you can do this too by peaceful and legal means. The American press does not want to show images of the underclass coming after the police, as it may plant ideas in the minds of the powerless in America. This is propaganda by omission. <br /><br />I stepped into municipal court in Kerrville one morning and I saw a courtroom full of poor people. The rich and powerful get away with a warning or are never pulled over in the first place. White collar crime is totally ignored. The Kerrville police are looking more and more like military or just thugs. They wear black uniforms and combat boots and military style pants. They milk $ out of the community with high priced fines, probation fees…etc. There will come a day when the people have had enough and it will come in an instant, just like India.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791178038803775236.post-83022900836192051092012-12-21T07:34:18.602-06:002012-12-21T07:34:18.602-06:00And who could forget Sheriff Falcon of Starr Count...And who could forget Sheriff Falcon of Starr County. This is my pick for the all time greatest, and it started with Bail Bonds.<br /><br />Step 1) Find the biggest bail bond company in the County<br /><br />Step 2) File and open records request to see if the subject company has paid a bond forfeiture in the last five years<br /><br />Step 3) Go to the Sheriff or bail bond board and make inquiry about starting a new bonding agency and ask what the financial requirements are. If the Sheriff give you some BS about posting a huge amount of cash and then deducting 100% of the bonds as they are written, then consider this "smoke"....hmmmmm...sounds like Kerr County.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791178038803775236.post-60316386554313960882012-12-20T18:33:14.691-06:002012-12-20T18:33:14.691-06:00I too have watched may Texas Sheriffs go bad over ...I too have watched may Texas Sheriffs go bad over the years, and I can tell it is generally over money. The most common issues generally revolve around the bail bond business, like in Bandera, Starr, and many other Texas Counties. <br /><br />When there is smoke, there is generally fire. <br /><br />More to come on this subject.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
