Don't count on the cops

There is an old adage in the Marine Corps (or is it corpse) that goes every unit is responsible for its own security.  Never, ever, under any circumstance expect that some other unit has more interst in your unit's security than you do.  When push comes to shove, they will be taking care of their own unit first. 

I was working around the compound on Sat. The folk at the neighboring compound, which is completely obscured by woods and a large marsh, began shooting. The rounds began to whistle through the woods and were actually landing in my tree line and woods. I hollered over at them to stop on three different occasions. They didn’t.

I got my own gun and weighed my options. A) Show up armed at the neighbors unannounced and ask them to stop shooting. B) Call the police. I thought, well who knows what they’ve been up to drinking, drugs etc. The situation could get ugly and my little .32 was going to be no match for what they were shooting. So, I called the cops, twice. THIRTY MINUTES later a unit rolls up the driveway.

It wasn’t a 911 call so there wasn’t the emergency nature of that kind of situation - but still a thirty minute response time for call involving wild shooting in a neighborhood? That’s why we need guns and why everyone should have at least one and know how to use it. The police cannot protect you - particularly in a rural neighborhood like mine. The best they’ll be able to do is send in the CSI team and find the perps. Then if the perps happen to look like Little Barry’s boys, if he had any, or are Eric the wad Holder’s “people” no doubt the cops will have acted stupidly and they’ll walk.

Americans are taking Lex’s advice and giving brain-dead Libs the finger. Gun sales in CO and around the country are spiking partly because Americans know what Lex knows. The cops cannot protect you, and in the wad’s world, if you’re of the wrong bent, they don’t even need to try to protect you.

Chick-fil-a
I have never eaten there. I will eat there today. You want to know what tyranny looks like check out Boston and Chicago where the mayors of these cities have made it known that they will use the power of local government to keep a particular business from doing business in their cities. That is downright un-American. These same cities no doubt have chapters of the New Black Panther’s, KKK and all manner of actual hate groups. Chicago is the home Rev? Jerry Wright’s church of Efff America and whitey now. What’s the mayor’s response to those groups? Well the NBP can stay but the KKK definitely has to go.

And what is Chick-fil-a’s crime? The COO said publicly Chik-fil-a is a family owned and yes Christian business that supported traditional marriage. That’s it. That’s in line with the thinking of the vast, vast majority of Americans. What he didn’t say was anything about gay marriage good or bad. Not one thing. He offered his support for traditional marriage and has been at the center of a fire storm ever since. I guess to favor chocolate ice cream means that you will not tolerate any other flavor. To be in favor of traditional marriage in Boston and Chicago – the same position Little Barry held until a few months back when he needed money from the gays more than to stand on principle – apparently is now some kind double secret crime punishable by vendetta by a city’s mayor.

The mayors of Boston (Thomas Menino) and Chicago (Rahm Emanuel) deserve what all tyrants deserve, a good horse whipping.
