One dead in Austin

Posted on July 26, 2020 | Comments Off on One dead in Austin

Walking up to a strange car during an Austin protest/riot with a rifle in your hand is a deadly game. It turned out to be just that when the driver stuck a handgun out the window and shot the rifle toter several times. He died at the hospital.

His killing was prophetic.

UPDATE:  PJMedia doing great work. The toter was a white Air Force veteran engaged to be married to a black quadriplegic and carrying an AK-47 with a scope. For some people the Russian AK would be enough to set them off. But he reportedly pointed the rifle at the driver. Yep, that’ll get you shot.

Less-lethal self-defense

Posted on July 19, 2020 | Comments Off on Less-lethal self-defense

I like the pepper ball gun, which looks less like a weapon and more like a rolled up magazine. But all five are good alternatives. Especially the steel Shillelagh.

Not that I get out much but it couldn’t hurt to be prepared, especially in a town where the lib pols have defunded the police by $11 million.

Send in the feds

Posted on July 17, 2020 | Comments Off on Send in the feds

For years now we’ve been hearing about how multiple federal agencies have SWAT-like forces for emergencies. This would seem to be one in Portland (after 50 days of escalating “protests”) and, indeed, feds are being dispatched, using tear-gas to disperse the mobs around the federal courthouse and making arrests.

Brilliant, really, on Trump’s part. Takes the onus off federalizing the guard and avoids the controversy that would come with sending in the active-duty army. Although local Dimocrat officials, who have preferred mob rule, are protesting, they aren’t being heard.

Abortion rolls on

Posted on June 30, 2020 | Comments Off on Abortion rolls on

“It’s a matter of perspective – when’s a baby a baby, or Can anyone here force a woman to have a baby? Try evoking your will on any ‘free’ person – they will rebel against you. Pass a law that will federally outlaw abortions – you’ll just be creating a new crime category, a new crime syndicate, a new underground network. I’m pretty sure you’ll be fighting this battle forever, humans.”

Barr on the scores of indictments coming

But trying to stop the riots, and burning. and looting is harder when local and state Dimocrat-directed authorities won’t do their jobs. Give it a listen.

Trump’s game plan

Posted on June 20, 2020 | Comments Off on Trump’s game plan

Kurt Schlicter:

Trump’s Game Plan:

1 Identify himself with law + order

2 Avoid using federal force that can turn into Kent State 2 (the Dem dream)

3 Use the DOJ to prosecute & deter the radicals who were happy to riot knowing Dem prosecutors would give them a pass

4 Let them overstep

Plausible if the mercurial Trump can hold to a plan.

Juneteenth

Posted on June 19, 2020 | 2 comments

Originally, the date (June 19) celebrated the 1865 arrival in Galveston of news of the Emancipation Proclamation, President Lincoln’s then more than 2-year-old executive order freeing the slaves of the Confederacy.

Gradually the date came to be celebrated elsewhere as well and take on a broader meaning. In Texas, it became a state holiday in 1980. In Austin, it has long been commemorated by a (generally) peaceful march/parade of some kind. Hope it’s peaceful this year. It likely won’t be elsewhere.

UPDATE:  An alternative view of “the high holy day of anti-white hatred.”

MORE:  A San Francisco Juneteenth mob toppled statues of Francis Scott Key, author of the anthem those NFL players kneel to, and Ulysses S. Grant. Grant? Savior of the Union and Emancipation? Brilliant.
