At least when it's the 'wrong' group doing it.
Far-right groups should be banned from staging protests because each one costs up to half a million pounds to police, a senior officer has said.
South Yorkshire Chief Constable, David Crompton, said the money could be better spent on other issues and he urged the Government to make more funds available or consider changing the law.
Gee, I wonder who'd get to decide who's 'far-right'? And what the criteria might be?
He told the Yorkshire Post: “Either somebody changes the law so that it's less easy to do this or alternatively there are some funds available that we can tap into.
“As it stands, we have a lot of power over marches but we don't have in any way the same control over assemblies.”
Nice little statist bastard, isn't he?
But worry not, the Home Office is on the case!
A Home Office spokesman said: "Peaceful protest is a vital part of a democratic society, provided it is conducted within the law.
“But protesters' rights need to be balanced with the rights of others to go about their business without fear of intimidation or serious disruption to the community.
I wonder if these clowns have said this about any of the demonstrations by the Religion of Peace types?
Oops, I just committed Hate Speech(over there, anyway)!

Meanwhile, across the pond, the politicians took care of their own.
And to hell with the kids he was raping all those years.
Tim Farron, who was elected party president in 2010, insisted fears that Smith’s abuse of young boys was hushed up must be fully investigated.
His comments came just a day after the party leader Nick Clegg called for police to probe allegations that senior politicians had covered up decades of abuse by “an organised paedophile ring” at the heart of the British establishment, which included Smith.
In 2012, Greater Manchester police revealed Smith, a former Rochdale MP, who died in 2010 aged 82, had abused eight young boys at a hostel he helped run in the town in the 1960s.
So, Greater Manchester Police, where the HELL were you? Aside from apparently kissing ass and ignoring this?
Ah, must be really nice to be of the 'proper' class...
Speaking on BBC Radio 4, he said: “The party absolutely, as the Labour Party must also... and indeed Rochdale civic society as a whole need to answer serious questions as to who knew what and when.”
However, the assholes are working hard to protect the guilty:
But the Liberal Democrats have rejected repeated calls for a public inquiry into who knew what within the party.
Oh, of course they are! And
The Crown Prosecution Service has said Smith should have been prosecuted during his lifetime.
No SHIT? You think MAYBE?
I'm going to close this out before I blow a gasket.

Hatpin bans?
Because women dared use them for self-defense?
The piece highlights that the press went wild with stories around of women using hatpins for self-defense, and men in government did not react well. The story highlights that the Chicago Vice Commission earned the ire of women when they turned the blame for assaults on the victims and argued “that unchaperoned women should dress as modestly as possible—no painted cheeks or glimpse of ankle—in order to avoid unwanted attention.” When women objected to being told that they were to blame for attacks and promoted the idea of using self-defense by hatpin, that’s when the men decided that they had enough.
Look it over; he's right, a lot of the arguments against women wearing them sound like they came from the Laddites or Watts.
Can someone explain to me why even the most brain-dead AGW true believer would listen to Erlich? The bastard's been wrong about EVERYTHING, yet here he is again.
Really, Harley? You're playing this bullshit game?
What? Everytown and members don't want to say things outright? Obfuscate? Lie?
Anyone actually surprised?
Erika Soto Lamb, Everytown’s communications director, also clammed up when I asked her a simple policy question: “Does Everytown have a position on an ‘assault weapons’ ban or a limitation on the size of magazines?” Dodging the issue completely, Lamb curtly referred me to the group’s website — which is notably silent on those topics. I pushed again, and received no response. Only on my third attempt did I get anything remotely approximating an answer, accompanied by the instruction that I must quote the reply in full. Here it is, in full:
Can a federal agency trying to cover up wrongdoing lawfully withhold documents under executive privilege—reserved for the president of the United States—when the records don’t even involve the commander-in-chief?
To anyone except dirtbag lawyers working for the .gov agency, the answer is 'Hell NO!' But the dirtbags are working hard at it.

As I’ve told you before, Everytown clearly outlines our policy priorities on our issues page here including background checks, domestic violence, preventable deaths (child access to guns and suicide), and gun trafficking.This is fair enough, as far as it goes. But it is not an answer to my question. Nor, it should be said, are any such answers forthcoming on the group’s website.
While we believe assault weapons and magazine size have the potential to put the “mass” in “mass shootings,” we also know that events like these account for a small percentage of the 86 Americans who are killed by guns every day. Our focus is on the reasonable reforms that 90 percent of Americans support like background checks for all gun sales, prohibiting domestic abusers from getting their hands on guns, promoting the safe storage of guns and giving law enforcement the tools they need to shut down gun trafficking.

Well, if it's such a threat to the progressive movement,
I need to buy a new firearm.
And more ammo.
No, what makes Beauchamp's desperate plea interesting is that he describes the idea that a resolute, vigilant, and armed public is the last bulwark against tyranny as "profoundly corrosive of democratic politics," with the quoted text as a hyperlink to an older article of his, this one in the American Conservative (a perhaps surprising place for his writings), in which he argues that the very idea of the need for an armed citizenry as defense against tyranny is destructive to our "democracy" (just don't even get me started on that).
Well, that's familiar. In a book co-written by Coalition to Stop Gun Violence executive director Josh Horwitz, readers are told that "the Insurrectionist idea" (Horwitz's term for the notion that the purpose of the Second Amendment is the protection of the people's means to resist and defeat tyranny) is "a threat to the entire progressive movement."

Because being armed for self-defense will bring down society, apparently.
Over at Mr. Huffmans' place, found this. I'm going to leave Idiot Beauchamp alone and speak about something in the post by Jacobs:
But what troubles me most about this suggestion — and the general More Guns approach to social ills — is the absolute abandonment of civil society it represents. It gives up on the rule of law in favor of a Hobbesian “war of every man against every man” in which we no longer have genuine neighbors, only potential enemies. You may trust your neighbor for now — but you have high-powered recourse if he ever acts wrongly.
Apparently people having the arms needed for self-defense will cause the absolute abandonment of civil society; which I think absolute bullshit.
In order: individual citizens having arms no more pushes the 'abandonment of civil society' than everyone having the ability to speak their piece(like here, for instance) does. It was taken for granted for a LONG time that any citizen had the right to defend themselves by whatever means necessary when under threat; I think it's pretty recent that idiots have been insisting(as in the current laws in (fG)Britain) that you can only defend yourself as long as you don't hurt your attacker and other such idiocy. The means of self-defense no more attacks civil society than does the right of self-defense itself.
Second: apparently Mr. Jacobs thinks that the mere possession of arms will cause people to want to attack anyone in sight any time they get frustrated or mad, going to 'war against every man'. Which brings us to the 'evil objects affecting our minds' bullshit. If that was going to happen, the massacres screamingly foretold by every gun bigot and hoplophobe when a state voted for CCW would have happened. The only 'war against every man' is committed by people like gangbangers and rapists and Occutards and other types who don't exactly count as civil society.
Third: That 'high-powered recourse' is the best- and for some people damn near the only- means of self-defense that will work for them. Someone old, or sick, or handicapped NEEDS an equalizer beyond what might be approved by Jacobs; or will they get a special exemption(that'll last until someone decides they don't need it)? For that matter, say, a woman at home with kids: someone breaks in and puts them at risk, maybe Jacobs thinks it fine for her to be restricted to trying to hide everyone in a bedroom, or wielding a bat or baton, but I'm not. I want her to be able to use whatever is needed to stop the attacker, whether the hoplophobes and gun bigots like it or not.
And all this doesn't even touch on that basic 2nd Amendment obstacle to his preferences.
Jacobs doesn't trust the peasants to be allowed arms. It doesn't fit with his preferred image of society. Screw 'im.

Anybody changed a bathtub faucet spout?
I need to replace mine, and it's supposed to screw off, but I can't get it to turn. Is it unusual for one to need a strap wrench or something to get it started, or am I about to do something dumb?
Well, so much for Ben Carson

About Sgt. Dan Downing of the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department
and his "We have to worry about what veterans might do" crap, words from Cdr. Salamander:
They grow in a deadly stew of an agenda driven campaign to marginalize veterans, the desire of some people to help their own image by creating a victim they can prove to everyone else they care so much about, and worse - a mindset of some put in a position of power over others, where they derive almost s3xual pleasure over the appearance of being a military force. They almost thrive over the looks of something between Waffen SS and Star Wars Stormtroopers.
Officer Friendly, they are not.
And as to the "Things are so violent now, we NEED to equip like a Marine assault force!" noise,
Why would he? "Things are so DANGEROUS now!" makes such a wonderful excuse for 'Why we need armored vehicles to intimidate the citizens'.

And as to the "Things are so violent now, we NEED to equip like a Marine assault force!" noise,
Law enforcement deaths this year dropped to their lowest level since 1959, while the decade of the 2000s was among the safest for officers, despite the deadliest single day for police on Sept. 11, 2001.Does he know that? Does he care? Odds are, "No" to both.
“To reach a 50-year low in officer deaths is a real credit to the law enforcement profession and its commitment to providing the best possible training and equipment to our officers,’’ said Craig Floyd, the Memorial Fund chairman and chief executive officer. “But we cannot allow ourselves to be lulled into a state of complacency.’’
Through Dec. 27, the report by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund found that 124 officers were killed this year, compared with 133 in 2008. The 2009 total represents the fewest line-of-duty deaths since 108 a half-century ago. Also, traffic fatalities fell to 56, compared with 71 a year ago, partly attributed to the passage of “move over’’ laws. Although firearms deaths rose to 48, the 39 fatalities in 2008 represented the lowest annual figure in more than five decades.
Why would he? "Things are so DANGEROUS now!" makes such a wonderful excuse for 'Why we need armored vehicles to intimidate the citizens'.

Why you're not seen as Officer Friendly anymore, Reason # I can't remember
Great excuse for being a abusive jerk with a badge:' You should've known your neighbors.'
Sheriff's Deputy Ivan Rodriguez, you're a jerk hiding behind a badge. Simple as that.
We could use a few of Mr. Farage here.
Then, in 2010, Farage became a global Internet sensation by raining on the EU's most ridiculous parade — the inaugural appearance by the first supposed "President of Europe," not a popularly elected or even parliamentarily accountable figure but just another backroom deal by the commissars of Eutopia. The new "President" was revealed to be, after the usual Franco-German stitch-up, a fellow from Belgium called Herman van Rompuy. "Who are you?" demanded Farage from his seat in the European Parliament during President van Rompuy's address thereto. "No one in Europe has ever heard of you." Which was quite true. One day, Mr. van Rompuy was an obscure Belgian, the next he was an obscure Belgian with a business card reading "President of Europe." But, as is his wont, Nigel warmed to his theme and told President van Rompuy that he had "the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk." A few days later, having conferred in their inner sanctum, the Eurocrats ordered Farage to make a public apology. So he did — to low-grade bank clerks for having been so ill-mannered as to compare them to President van Rompuy. He was then fined 2,980 euros (about $4,000) for his impertinence, since when he has referred to the European president as Rumpy-Pumpy, a British synonym for a bloody good shag.
But don't worry, Obamacare will be ALL different...
"My individual case is horrible," said Oliver Mitchell, a former Marine who in 2009 exposed the mass cancellation of medical appointments to hide long backlogs at the veterans’ hospital in Los Angeles.
Mitchell was stripped of his duties, put on administrative leave and eventually separated from the agency shortly after he reported the purging of medical appointments to the inspector general.
The IG closed Mitchell's complaint after VA officials claimed the "mass purge" of appointments was within policy. The U.S. Office of Special Counsel, the agency that is supposed to protect whistleblowers, also dropped his case.
Mitchell said he got no help from either office....
"I think that’s the culture of the agency. When you don’t join the party line this is what they do to you," Mitchell said.
Amazing how many people I know who say "Yes, this is terrible, but Obamacare will be DIFFERENT! It will WORK!"
In a pigs ass.
I have now scraped more than half the bedroom floor; that's a LOT of flakes of old finish. Now I've got to get boxes so I can move the books downstairs, then the shelves so I can scrape under them and so forth. Once that's all done, move everything else, rent the sander and buy pads and sand it, raise the grain and sand lightly again, then the finish. It'll mean a few days sleeping on the couch, but I think it should come out well.

Want to see some of Teddy Roosevelt and Annie Oakleys' guns?
JM Davis Gun Museum, northeast OK, Claremore.
On loan from the National Rifle Association until November, the guns once belonged to Annie Oakley and Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt.
“These are pretty amazing pieces,” said Jason Schubert, curator of the Claremore museum.
I need to get up there anyway, here's another good reason.

If you're not familiar with the current bout of 'Stone the heretic!' 'liberal' bullshit
involving writers, I'd suggest a visit to Mr. Williamsons' place for a properly profane description and response. As a teaser:
And then EMCS or whatever his name is spit his binky, shit his diaper, screamed for mommy, and demanded Uncle Timmy be stricken from the list.
Lots of other sandy genitalia piled on, in an orgy of bliss. AHA! We have someone to hate! Life is good!
The Gold Medal goes to the person whom I won't embarrass by name, who said, "Well, I don’t know who he is or what he said, but I guess this is for the best."
"Liberal" "Tolerance" in action. Someone said he said something bad, BAN HIM!
Also, just because I like it,
I commented that Mel Brooks certainly wouldn't be welcome, with his jokes about Jews, gays, blacks and rape. I got snidely reminded that "You do realize that Mel Brooks is Jewish, right?"
Oh, right. That TOTALLY justifies racist, homophobic and rape culture humor. Silly me. So, what jokes can blacks tell? What jokes can gays tell? We already know white people can't tell jokes at all (even if the Klan DID go after Tim's Catholic, Italian ancestors).
I got no answer. Apparently, it's okay to make offensive jokes if you're something, but not if you're something else, because racist.
Predictably, that thread turned into…a thread of racist, sexist and homophobic jokes. Last I checked, it was still there.

and it decides to start moving somewhere that doesn't.
Gov. Howler, last I heard, in insisting "Remington isn't going anywhere", but here's a facility and batch of jobs that has. No doubt more to come. And about damn time.
Good reason to end the War on Drugs: oathbreaking, vicious, arrogant bastards like these will be out of jobs. Until they join up with their spiritual brothers in the cartels, at least.
Not even getting to the physical abuse and abuse of authority, this tells you a lot:
The DEA eventually did get a warrant for Branson’s house. It was issued at approximately 11:58am, well after agents had entered the premises.
I repeat: oathbreaking vicious arrogant bastards. If this agency actually gave a rats ass about that Constitution it swears to protect, they'd already be out on their ass.
Also, the judge should have that black robe ripped off, and be horsewhipped out of that courtroom- and any other- forever.

This is what separates a piece of history from 'just another gun'.
Was looking for something else at Tam's place and ran across this(which I'd forgotten). Which reminded me of something:
I don't write much of what I own, but I have a rifle that appears to be a standard WWII K98 German Mauser. Which it was. Look closer, and the German proofs have all been defaced with a couple of chisel marks each. Scan on around and you'll find a small six-pointed star stamped into the top of the receiver ring.
When lots of surviving Jews were fleeing Europe after the war to what was then the British Protectorate of Palestine, they- and those who'd always been there- knew they needed arms, both for current protection and for the future. And most of what they could get was from Europe, either stuff produced on German machinery or to German patterns, but there was a LOT of war surplus stuff available. And they weren't in a position to be picky.
This is one of those later rebarreled to 7.62x51(doubt there are many left in the original 8mm). I like it for two reasons. One is the historical aspect. The other is that a part of my soul delights in knowing that Hitler & Co. are gnashing their teeth in hell at the knowledge that a bunch of Jews used Nazi-produced arms to help create and defend the state of Israel.

Assuming this information is true, what kind of sorry worthless POS excuse for a cop would even CONSIDER doing this?
If true, these assholes with badges should be behind bars. Period.
"Don't bother us with that 4th amendment shit, we're doing cop stuff!"
No, the whole thing isn't walking crap with uniforms. For instance, Mr. Moyers and Suzuki, let's see you take point on the arrest teams, you fascist shitheads.
Why do I despise the Democrat Party, let me count another way:

Some Democrats are calling bullshit on Obama's "I need to know more" delaying tactics on the VA shitpile.
If true, these assholes with badges should be behind bars. Period.
"Don't bother us with that 4th amendment shit, we're doing cop stuff!"
No, the whole thing isn't walking crap with uniforms. For instance, Mr. Moyers and Suzuki, let's see you take point on the arrest teams, you fascist shitheads.
Why do I despise the Democrat Party, let me count another way:

You're scared of military veterans?
THAT'S why you 'need' MRAPs and automatic weapons and all that crap?
Sgt. Dan Downing of the Morgan County Sheriff's Department states, "When I first started we really didn't have the violence that we see today," adding, "The weaponry is totally different now that it was in the beginning of my career, plus, you have a lot of people who are coming out of the military that have the ability and knowledge to build IEDs and to defeat law enforcement techniques."
Number one, Downing(you moron), people have been building IEDs and such for LONG before the Gulf Wars(see 'Ayers, Bill' and 'Unabomber' for example, since you've apparently not heard of them), and if some islamist living with goats in the dining area can build one, it's not exactly a 'very few know it' skill.
Second, if you're so freakin' worried about vets, don't you think they know every weak spot on those vehicles?
Anyone doubt a lot of this "We fear veterans" shit hasn't come down from our current administration? Who've specifically called returning vets a danger to society?

Who is it wants to run people out of the country, again?
Yes, he really did say that Republicans aren’t American. And that they
should stay away from the United States, and go to Russia where they
belong. One gets the feeling that if the Democrats ever have the
opportunity, they will have us all arrested. Or deported:
Or possibly follow the example of their god-king Roosevelt and (try to)put us in camps.
'Food deserts' my ass.
Stolen from Larry Correia on a bookface thread that got into 'Of COURSE the Nazis weren't socialists!' from some people:
I love the "academic" dismissals of Nazi Germany as totally not socialist. I mean, they only had socialist in their name, a well advertised socialist party platform, held socialist ideals, and ran as socialists in the well educated country which was the birthplace of socialism, and once elected, began implementing their socialist party platform, while the entire rest of the contemporary world recognized them as being socialists. Hitler turning out as a tyrant and all around asshole doesn't exactly change any of that.
The Nazis thought of themselves as socialists. The people who elected them thought of them as socialists. The entire rest of the world in the 1930s thought of them as socialists. It seems the only people who don't think the Nazis were socialists are modern leftists. Gee whiz, I wonder why? Could it possibly be that since they're on the same philosophical side, they don't want to accept having the same fundamental platform as one of the most evil regimes in history, so they've tried to obfuscate the issue?
He also got some hate mail from a socialist pushing the same, and took it apart. If you have tender feelings about bad language, consider this your TRIGGER WARNING. As he notes, Warning, there will be bad language. Because you simply can’t talk about people this willfully ignorant without using the f word.
