Clinton/Trump Debate Round 1


Donald Trump's round one debate performance was the stuff of nightmares for campaign managers. He was inarticulate, flustered, showed anger, bogged down on Iraq and birther comments, demonstrated no command of issues, and, on four occasions by my count, agreed with Clinton on policy points. 
 
Instead of attacking Hillary for being a habitual liar and career criminal, Trump tangled with Lester Holt, a network liberal and Clinton supporter, stayed on the defensive, and left the stage with his family in tow and tail between his legs

However, Trump is a proven master of political theater. He prefers being underestimated, written off, laughed at, and told he has no chance. This has been, remember, the central ingredient of his candidacy that displaced 16 professional politicians during the Republican primary.

Hillary Clinton, in the eyes of Trump, is simply another Jeb Bush/John Kasich 90s political regurgitation to be baited, trapped, and exposed as a repeated fraud on the electorate.
 
What does this have to do with active shooting mitigation, guns, and the Second Amendment? Nothing or everything, come 8 November, depending how Trump does in the next two debates where I expect he will decisively win.

"Taking A Knee" From The NFL


A buddy and me on the phone NFL Sunday: 

Buddy: Are you watching the 49ers game?

Me: Nope.

Buddy: Who all's playing today?

Me: I have no idea, and frankly the NFL can kiss my ass. 

Taking a Knee From the NFL


As a conservative/libertarian I fully appreciate one's human right to demonstration and protest. I cannot, however, stomach Black Lives Matter activist Colin Kaepernick and his minions openly showing their disdain for our nation by promoting the make believe narratives of police genocide and systemic American racism. 

I overlooked
"little boy" Bob Costas lecturing 'dangerous and irresponsible' gun owners following the Jovan Belcher murder/suicide. 

For the good of the game I
tolerated the unicorn ranch "genius" of NFL liberals, promoting gender study graduate seminar causes, but the BLM input was it for me.


The great American sport of
football has become less American, and the lefties at the pro level are spreading their leprosy to Friday nights in our hometowns. 

I
will watch when the NFL shuts up, sticks to football, and shows respect for the earth's only remaining example of freedom and individual liberty.


Publicly  protesting for social and political causes is,
like gun ownership, a legally-protected and natural human right. That does not mean there are not consequences when one disrupts and disrespects on behalf of fictitious causes like "hands up don't shoot," or legitimizes racist, terrorist movements like Black Lives Matter

The State Will Not Protect You: Cascade Mall Shooting

Turkish derivative and Cascade Mall active shooter Arcan Cetin used a .22 caliber "plinking" rifle to kill five people despite the mall "committed to providing our guests with a safe and secure shopping environment by providing 24-hour professional security services." So much for the left's "assault rifle ban" narrative.

Our government, mismanaged by the Marxist, America-hating Obama and his criminally negligent Justice Department, is far more effective at getting Americans killed in the interests of globalization, integration of incompatible foreigners, and political correctness than protecting our “useless” lives from low IQ Muslim terrorists and active shooters/slashers freely operating in state and federally mandated gun free zones. (1)

Under no president in history have Americans been more at risk of losing our lives from shopping with family or seeing movies with friends than we currently are under the Alinskyite criminal occupying the White House. Nor should we believe these escalations of criminality, violence, and terror under Obama are accidental or attributed to untended consequences.

Your untimely death, whether by Muslim terrorists, illegal aliens, or active shooters, is a policy objective for progressives and the Obama government. 

Obama lied his way to the Presidency for a single purpose, to put an end to our republic as it was founded and replace it with a weak, open border, third-world, single ruling class direct democracy commanding a disarmed, poor, powerless citizenry that habitually fights among itself and petitions the ruling class for “solutions” that never materialize. (2)


1. Are you still not carrying a gun? Washington State is among ten in the union with the highest percentage of weapon carry permit holders, yet Cetin, despite mall security and police response, freely executed five innocent people and calmly walked off the scene. Carry your pistol when in public. Have sufficient training and ammunition to use it against skilled or unskilled active shooters armed with intermediate cartridge rifles. The next shooter will not be armed with a .22.

2. Thank the spineless Republican congressional delegation for aiding and abetting Obama.

Terrance Crutcher OIS Was Suicide By Cop

Viewers first look at the Crutcher/Shelby incident: Shelby on the passenger side of her patrol car, gun drawn, giving verbal commands to Crutcher who was approaching Shelby prior to arrival of the police helicopter and second police patrol car.

Terrance Crutcher demonstrated the textbook example of how to guarantee a deadly force encounter with law enforcement in Tulsa, Oklahoma on the night of 16 September 2016. 
 
It is inconceivable that Crutcher, with a prior weapons arrest, drug trafficking prison sentence, and four separate physical confrontations with police, had no idea how to behave when coming into contact with law enforcement. 
 
Mr. Crutcher knew, from extensive personal experience, the consequences for refusing to comply with police verbal commands and knew what to expect for erratic movements, such as touching his belt line, with police weapons flagging his upper torso.

Although none of Crutcher's prior convictions or criminal incidents justify him being killed, he was keenly aware, from his history of refusing to comply with laws and law enforcement, that being confrontational during police contact, which in this case he instigated, will result in one of two outcomes; incapacitation or death
 

From the Tulsa Police helicopter video viewers see Crutcher refusing to comply with Officer Shelby's verbal commands while walking away from Shelby with his hands raised. In this scene Shelby has her weapon drawn and is on the passenger side of her patrol car. 
 
This means Shelby exited her patrol vehicle, as Crutcher approached her, putting it between herself and Crutcher for cover and distance, or was partnered with another officer who did not emerge from the drive's side of the patrol unit until after Crutcher was shot.

The first explanation, Shelby being alone and using her vehicle for distance and cover, is more probable since there is not another officer on scene until arrival of the second police vehicle (1:03 this video). In this scenario Shelby most definitely warned Crutcher he would be shot if he continued to approach her. 
 

From the police helicopter video we can see, as the helicopter approaches and the second police vehicle arrives, Shelby has her pistol pointed at Crutcher who turns away from Shelby and begins walking toward the driver side of his silver SUV, still not complying with Shelby's verbal commands to stop. 

This rises the issue, in addition to his vehicle being "disabled" in the center of the road instead of the shoulder, why Crutcher approached Shelby's vehicle and what he said to Shelby that caused her to retread behind her vehicle and draw her service pistol.
 
Crutcher was either taunting Shelby prior to arrival of the helicopter and second police vehicle or behaving erratically due to being under the influence of narcotics. 

Shelby, as an armed LEO in a Stand Your Ground state, retreated and used her vehicle to create distance and cover from a much larger male subject who could have easily overpowered her.
 
Whatever his motivation Crutcher, with suicidal negligence or intent, provoked and instigated a confrontation with Officer Betty Shelby and the Tulsa Police Department that resulted the loss of his life. The color of his skin is completely irrelevant.

The State Will Not Protect You: St. Cloud Minnesota Mall A Gun Free Zone

Somali derivative, Islamic activist, and gun free zone opportunist Dahir Aden slashed and stabbed ten shoppers for Allah at the Crossroads mall in St. Cloud, MN on Saturday. 

How is the great forced assimilation of irrational, low IQ Muslim immigrants into relatively free western society working out for New York, New Jersey, and Minnesota?(1) How about for residents of Munich, Paris, Nice, San Bernardino, and Orlando, FL?

In attempting to delay exposing the identities and religious affiliations of Saturday's Muslim attackers, in New York and Minnesota, the Obama/Clinton-fawning media and political establishment also failed to mention the Crossroads mall in St. Cloud, MN, where ten people were stabbed by a knife-wielding Muslim psycho from 68 average IQ Somalia, is a gun free zone “committed to providing an enjoyable shopping experience for our guests”.(2)

Enjoyable unless one of those "guests" is a knife-wielding, jihadi mass killer. In that case shoppers only hope is for the low-probability chance an armed "off duty police officer" is present to save them. 

 
Translation: "This sign is designed to get you killed assuming you are dumb enough to enter these premises unarmed."

1. Again, for those in the hypersensitive, blanket-biting, safe zone-seeking, social justice loser movement, higher or lower average IQ is not a measure of "worth" among human beings but a genealogical indicator of adaptability, effectiveness, and, most importantly in regards to crime and Islamic radicalism, rationality. 

 2. Lower IQ Muslim refugees and immigrants are not assimilating into Western society but remaining isolated in ethnic communities ambivalent and antagonistic toward Western values of freedom and individual discretion.
