Not to blame the victim, but if you’re going to engage in high law enforcement interdiction incentive activities, being judicious about who you share such knowledge with and circumspect in public commentary may lessen your risks of being caught.
Just sayin’.
None of which takes away his absolute right to have and say those things.

These types of anti-government beliefs, according to the New Zealand newspaper Waikato Times, violate the “fit and proper person” clause as defined by New Zealand law, which is a requirement for anyone who applies for or possesses a firearm license. The New Zealanders who allegedly harbored anti-government views were discovered though a national intelligence operation known as “Operation Belfast,” which targeted ordinary citizens and was orchestrated by New Zealand police.

Georgia, the site of massive election misinformation, questionable results, incomplete audits and a mysterious come-from-behind razor-thin win by Joe Biden in 2020, appears to be at it again. Or perhaps we should say Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is at it again. [More]

This paper positions public mass gun violence (PMGV) as an intergenerational consequence of the violence of colonization, coloniality, and slavery in the United States. I map how the shooter’s white privilege, alongside his white/male fragility, combined with a national consciousness built on an ethos of colonization and coloniality, leads him to believe he has unearned “rights” to the social riches of the center. I proffer that most of us who benefit from capitalist, neo-liberal, patriarchal state and social institutions are complicit in co-creating the conditions that produce PMGV’s gunboys and gunmen because in order to benefit from these institutions, we perpetuate a system of insiders and outsiders. As illustrated, some possibilities for allaying violence are grounded in practicing critical self-reflection and capacities for discomfort. [More]
Angry and militant feminist collectivists get to using Marxist buzzwords and I be like…
Especially when my name pops up for no apparent reason:
It’s just not worth it to me to pay to see what I supposedly have to do with any of this, aside from not being too fragile to identify as a male and a father, and not overly worried if some bitter frostback believes using loaded terms like “gunboys” enhances her academic gravitas…

My two day estimate didn’t count on patches needing to dry before being painted and the crew doesn’t work the weekend. The office is finished as work on the rest of the house continues.
I’m far behind on the stuff I need to do to eat, so this blog needs to wait while I work on that.
I see no shortage of inbox tips. Sorry, I just can’t get to them. Please hold off on more until I signal all clear, probably midweek.
Remember when I talked about my house’s plumbing problems last month? Well, the wall/ceiling patching and painting guys are here for the next two days and they need to tackle my office next.
I’ll be back when I can.
