A ‘Feel Good Story’ to Make You Smile

After the Brazilian government permitted the killing of motor cycle riders who rob & kill citizens – in order to put an end to this menace, this is what the citizens there are doing!!! When Law Enforcement do not do their job, citizens will… [Watch]

And no, I don’t know how true that is, but who doesn’t love a happy ending?

It’ll be a sad one if they put Lula back in power.

Knife to a Gun Fight

“At that point, the person who appears to be being robbed takes out a knife, stabs the person with the gun. That individual is now deceased.” [More]

You can have all the gear and training in the world, but without the will to do what it takes you’ve got nothing.

The Wrong Question

Is our justice system still capable of deterring killers? [More]

It never was.

What deters us from killing has always come from within. What deters killers is the same thing that deters all predators.

Washington Post Intentionally Conflating Lawful Defense with Criminal Violence

In the examples the influential paper chose to highlight, the posters were not calling on initiating violence against their political opponents. They were calling on supporters of churches and pregnancy centers to defend themselves against violent attackers with mayhem on their minds. [More]

One of the violence monopolists’ go-to lies is conflating self-defense with vigilantism.

The Eye of the Beholder

We are prepared to provide proper support and resources for students and staff affected by this tragedy.

It should have come in rounds.

What does the fact that predators don’t want to get hurt tell normal people?
