should be a lesson:

Not that I am cheering that cops got killed, mind you. I think it is a tragedy.

But once again, the police get a lesson on what can happen when one determined individual with any decent firearm skills chooses to resist.

Four officers were killed in a shooting while attempting to serve a warrant at a home in Charlotte, North Carolina, including one deputy US marshal and two local task force officers, authorities say.

One guy, 4 cops, 4 others injured.

When the citizens decide to fight back, the equation changes.

Notice that it was the US Marshalls service. They are nearly as arrogant and inept as the ATF folks. It is entirely possible that they are the reason things went pear-shaped. Each and every Marshall that I have met was his own problem waiting to happen.

 

Thousands Standing Around

The TSA let them get to the boarding gate……and then Delta let them get onto the plane.

Security Theater.

No one caught the SIX people that got past TSA and then got onto a Delta flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles.

How did they get past the TSA? There are supposed to be lists from the airlines that show who is ticketed on what airline. Name, flight number, etc. The TSA is SUPPOSED to check when you present yourself for screening at the checkpoint. This step is designed to prevent exactly this occurrence. But the TSA failed.

Oddly, 6 people were able to get past that point.

Then those 6 people boarded the airliner. Going past the Delta gate agent with (apparently)  fake boarding passes.

So much for security.

 

Look: I am all for having security…if it is, indeed, actual EFFECTIVE security. But if it is just another civil service job that accomplishes nothing (think Department of Education, or the Department of Energy), then why are we wasting our time and money?

Why are we wasting our time in the airports and all of the taxpayer money for the TSA if this sort of Fail can happen?…Not once, but 6 times ON THE SAME FLIGHT.

I mean, apparently all across the country the TSA is not bothering to look in luggage, as evinced by the (currently) 4 people who :accidentally” made it onto flights to the Turks and Caicos with ammunition in their bags. Once, perhaps, I can see, but 4? from 4 different locales? Through 4 different airports?

Perhaps they really are the Thousands just Standing Around.

 

Not protestors, just actors

The News Media is Very Carefully NOT mentioning this:

It’s all an act. That is becoming more and more apparent. Just a play, a production.

So the anti-israel protestors are being paid to protest.

Also, apparently they are being fed and Soros backed agencies are buying the tents and even their clothing. Plus cash payments to actually protest. And food.

This isn’t a real protest, it is a stage play. Complete with sets and costumes.

As more and more details get out, the truth is not pretty. Bet you won’t see the MSM telling you this while they sensationalize the arrests and the protests on the 5 o’clock news.

Don’t piss off Tyrone….

You need his vote.

So, for the second time, the Biden administration (or at least those in his administration who  have the power to actually make decisions) has delayed the implementation of the ban on menthol cigarettes. 

I mean, someone, apparently, figured out that banning the menthol smokes would piss off the Black population, where the smokes are the most popular….

And it is an election year.

Seems to me that the folks with original plan forgot that Joe needs the Black population to vote for him…….And if he pisses them off, he won’t get their votes.

Gotta wait to piss off the darkies until after the election. Take away their smokes and they will get angy.

Toldya…

So all the outcry about the “Starving “Palestinian” People”…

And the US begins building a floating pier so that food can get into Gaza more easily…bypassing the Israeli controlled port. (which idea had “Bad” written all over it, but whatever)

And the Hamas assholes fire mortars at the pier.. Shooting at the people who are attempting to help them. If you had the cognitive ability of a carrot you knew that they would do this.

The thing is, they don’t want “aid “for their people, they want to use their “Starving” people as props in political theater. They care less about their own people than the rest of the world…even Israel.

I might buy the fact that the other citizens of Gaza are innocent if they turned on these assholes and either ratted them out or the perpetrators were simply found beaten to death on a pile of rubble.

But nope, these people, all the Gazans, simply bite the hand that is ..Literally….feeding them.

Even dogs, cats, and bears, raccoons, wolverines, and even (usually) sharks have more intelligence than these folks. It is no wonder that no decent country, muslim or not, wants these people.

Somewhat unsympathetic

American Ryan Watson stuck in Turks and Caicos jail and facing 12 years in prison after airport staff found four rounds of ammo in his luggage as he tried to return home – ‘It was an innocent mistake!’

I am sure that it was a mistake. I am sure that he meant no harm, nor did he intend to break the laws….and one wonders how he could be so stupid as to make that mistake. How did the rounds get into his carry on? Further, how did he miss them while packing for his latest trip? 4 rounds in a ziploc bag is not a tiny thing.

Having said that, If you are that stupid to have brought “Hunting Ammo” on a trip,,,,IN YOUR CARRY ON, from a previous trip, you sorta deserve what you get.

Why would ammo be in a carry-on (domestic or international) in the first place? AFAIK, the TSA discourages the carriage of rifle rounds in domestic carry-ons as well. Which leads to make me wonder how he got it on the plane FROM the US in the first place.. If his story is true, then the TSA had to have missed these rifle rounds TWICE….once when he flew home from his hunting trip, and again when he left to go to on this vacation.

The Turks and Caicos is not the US. He is learning a very valuable lesson.

If I should “accidentally” bring pot back from Amsterdam, then that is on me…..”It was in my backpack and I was carrying it for a friend and forgot to take it out before boarding” isn’t gonna cut it with Customs in the US, is it?

Either way, it is up to the traveler to make sure his possessions are legal where he is going.

Stupid should hurt. and it is apparently casing him pain right now.
