Smut Police on Your Dollar.

Check this out.

Apparently our government has unlimited resources because even though we are constantly at risk of terrorist attacks, even though NOLA was destroyed, even though parts of Texas are about to be leveled, even though we are about to pay 5 friggin' dollars a gallon for gas, EVEN THOUGH we can't seem to wrap things up in Iraq we have the people and resources to fund the FBI's anti-obscenity squad. (Visions of Frank Drebin anyone?)
Pornography being smuggled into Massachusetts is getting more and more bizarre, just as the FBI is mobilizing to wage war with the flesh-fetish industry.

Cuz we don't have ANY bigger problems right?
In a recent span of two weeks, inspectors for U.S. Customs and Border Protection at Logan International Airport confiscated the following:
# A laptop computer containing films and photos of women performing sex acts involving dogs, horses and reptiles, taken off a passenger returning to Boston from Ireland;

# One hundred copies of a DVD depicting ``explicit'' sex with excrement, seized from a Federal Express package shipped to Rhode Island from the Netherlands.

So what? Gross? Absolutely. Affect me? Not in the FUCKING least. Hell, German and Japanese economies reolve around that stuff. (Odd that we've conquered both of them. Apparently when America beats your ass you develop a propensity for sex involving ka-ka.)
It was intercepted in Worcester when the title ``Domina and Caviar'' raised a red flag.

Raised a flag?! Who the hell would know what "Domina and Caviar" means? Apparently we have an aficionado ot the good ol' FBI.
All other louche loot winds up in the custody of U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan's office, where it is ultimately destroyed unless someone is willing to fight for the sordid contraband in court.

I think that should probably read...
All other louche loot winds up in the custody of U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan's office, where it is vigorously wacked off to unless someone is willing to fight for the sordid contraband in court.

Tee hee.
``In some instances,'' said Sullivan's spokeswoman, Samantha Martin, ``if the items are on a computer, the computer will be wiped clean, but they may want the computer back.''

May want their computer back? Yeah, I guess sometimes when the Feds confiscate your stuff sometimes you want it back.
The Washington Post reported this week that FBI headquarters has put out a call to agents to join a new national anti-obscenity squad targeting the ``manufacturers and purveyors'' of porn.

??? There is NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT TO DEAL WITH?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Gail Marcinkiewicz, spokeswoman for the FBI's Boston field office, concedes pornography is a tough foe. ``What may be considered obscene in Amish country,'' she said, ``may not be obscene in Los Angeles.''

Well, I guess she's right. I mean, remember that time porn flew the planes into the trade center? What about when porn blew up the Marine barracks in Beirut? How about that time porn tried to set off a sneaker bomb aboard a flight?

Give me a fucking break.

School Buses.

If fat lazy housewives can't get their fat lazy kids on the school bus within thirty seconds of stopping in front of their houses the school bus should carry on and make it the parent's problem to get their fat lazy kids to school.

I am sick of sitting behind school buses waiting for people who can't grasp the concept of getting up early enough to be ready for school. Be ready or get your own ass to school and most importantly get the fuck out of my way.

I know all housewives are NOT fat and lazy but these ones are.

Hot Little Bargain.


If you are into guns and don't have your C&R license, get it. If you have your C&R license and you don't have one of these, what the hell are you waiting for?

I just got back from the range (Danvers Fish and Game) and had a blast. I shot some 148 grain wadcutter loads I threw together for my Ruger Security Six .357 Magnum. Pretty fun. Pretty accurate.

I then brought out my S&W 910s 9mm. Not as accurate but lots of fun with high cap mags.

Then I brought out my CZ52 that I bought a couple years ago from AIM Surplus for 89 bucks. I always forget about this gun because I don't carry it (7.62x25 tokarev is known for overpenetration.) Also, most of the ammo I've had for it is corrosive Hungarian stuff that is VERY hot and VERY inconsistent. It's also a pain in the ass to clean corrosive ammo out of a semi-auto.

I forgot I had a bunch of Sellier and Belot kicking around for it. (Non-corrosive and boxer primed meaning it's reloadable.) This round kicks like a hot .357 and is CRAZY accurate.

The most fun I had all day was with this little bargain. Souther Ohio Gun has em' for $99.95. You're crazy if you don't pick up at least one.

Books by the Cover.

For anyone who's never seen it, Lynn's list of sex offenders is here.

Some people say you can't judge a book by its cover. I say bullshit. "You can't judge a book by it's cover," is only true when dealing with books. People are a different story. I've been judging "books" by there covers since I was a little paranoid Lynn kid. Ya know what? I'm right 99.9999% of the time.

Anyway, take a look at these scumbags. If ever a bunch of assholes looked like sex offenders, this lot does. A weirder looking bunch of dirtbags I've never seen.

Get a load of John Borrelli. There's a good looking guy!

Or how about David Bucknam. He just screams upstanding citizen, doesn't he?

Here's John Davis. Woah. Nice earing dude. He kinda looks like Beecher from Oz.

Here's a handsome guy. Gordon Wrenn. Sheesh. Clean up man. For crying out loud.

I'm not going to go through all of them but my point is, you can judge a book by it's cover as made evident by the Lynn Police level III sex offender list. Thanks Lynn Police level III sex offender list for proving my point.

By the way, don't forget to Google their addresses and see which of these lovely gentlemen live in your neighborhood!

Lynn

Found this. What I found interesting is this line...
The Anarchist Fighters had been linked to, among other things, the May Day bombing scheme of the year before and to radical groups (including what newspapers called the notorious “Galliani gang") around Lynn, Massachusetts, a place federal authorities then considered “the most dangerous spot in America,” according to a later investigator.

Lynn. Raising street smart jerks like me since the early 1900's.

Gun Locks not Hard Body Proof.

I have to say this seems like another case of natural selection.
Police say after Hands on a Hardbody contestant Richard "Ricky" Vega, 24, broke into Kmart, then into the store's firearm glass case, he removed the trigger lock off the 12-gauge shotgun that he used to kill himself.

Messy. Are there no bridges in Texas? Breaking into a Wal-Mart seems like an awful lot of work just to blow your brains out.
Longview Police Sgt. Carlos Samples said information wasn't immediately available on how Vega removed the lock.

"It actually had a trigger lock on it, and he was able to remove that trigger lock," he said.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that he unlocked it with the key that the $7.50 an hour employee probably left hanging behind the counter.
Tom Crowley, public information officer for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Dallas, said the locks are not designed to be taken off easily.

Nosiree! They sure ain't designed to be taken off easily! You got that right bishop! They are designed to be fumbled around with in the dark while an intruder is breaking into your home.
Vernon Orms, a sales clerk in the Longview Academy Sporting Goods hunting department, said trigger locks are difficult to remove and a special key or tool is required to open them.

That special tool is a key genius. Well done Mr. Orms. Things that open locks are keys. Just for future reference.
"He probably had to knock that thing off with something," Orms said. "He could take a hammer and bust one off. Even the metal ones can be knocked off, if you have something hard enough to hit it with."

Or he used Mr.Orms' "special tool."
Brathwaite said Friday the company reported the shotgun theft to ATF.

Why did he steal it? Wouldn't it have been easier to just take care of business in Wal-Mart.
Two contestants said Vega left the internationally popular contest Thursday around 6 a.m. and shortly before a scheduled 15-minute break for competitors. He walked across the street to Kmart, where a witness saw him send a trash can through the store's front door.

6 A.M.? Good Lord those Texans sure do party late. Or early. Interationally poular?! LOLOLOLOLOL! Um, ok. I guess some people take losing "Hand on a Hard Body" pretty hard. (That sounds very gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Gregg County Justice of the Peace Arthur Fort said Vega's body was lying between the front door and the jewelry counter. The sporting goods department, where firearms are kept, is located diagonally behind the jewelry section.

So I guess he didn't really steal the shotgun. I mean, he didn't leave the store with it.
Fort emphasized he's not ordering an autopsy "because we know the cause of death. An autopsy is done to determine the cause of death," he said. The cause of death is suicide. He shot himself in front of witnesses. He had a single shot to the head by the shotgun."

Good call Fort!

Remember folks, guns don't kill people, Hands on a Hard Body contests do.

Oh, by the way. This is what a Hands on a Hard Body contest is. Cuz this yankee ain't never heard of such a thing. (I still think it sounds very gay.)

Pay Attention.

Some idiots in Newark lost some plague mice. No big deal, just the plague. Story is here.

I understand it's not a huge deal and a few people contract the plague every year, but...

If you're the guy that takes care of the plague mice, would it kill you to pay attention. A little. I sell auto parts and I don't just lose stuff. Stuff may disapear but I usually have a pretty good idea where it went.

"Simply outrageous!"

That was the reaction from Erich Pratt and he is ABSOLUTELY right. The whole story is here.
In the wake of widespread lootings and home invasions in New Orleans, there have been reports of valiant men and women who defended themselves against opportunist, armed intruders and looters to protect what little they had, against the criminal thugs who had been released from the prisons.

The U.S. Constitutional Right to Bear Arms did its job! They thwarted off hardened criminals who were released from prison, roaming the streets robbing and pillaging! These men and women of valor protected their friends, family and neighbors when police were nowhere to be found!

The city of New Orleans has begun confiscating legally-owned firearms from its residents, stripping them of their right of self defense, as law-abiding citizens.

"Simply outrageous!", was the reaction from Erich Pratt, Director of Communications for Gun Owners of America.

"By what authority can the mayor order these confiscations?" Pratt said. "You can't legitimately suspend the God-given rights of American citizens who have committed no crimes.

"These confiscations will not make the people of New Orleans any safer. Privately owned firearms were the only thing that prevented good people from becoming victims in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when few policemen were to be found anywhere in the city."

"Unfortunately, we have yet to learn the lessons from previous dark episodes in our recent history," Pratt said. "We need to remember those lessons, such as the riots of Los Angeles more than a decade ago."

For several days in 1992, Los Angeles was in complete turmoil as stores were looted and burned. Motorists were dragged from their cars and beaten. As in New Orleans, police in L.A. were very slow in responding to the crisis. Many Guardsmen, after being mobilized to the affected areas, sat by and watched the violence because their rifles were low on ammunition.

"But not everybody in Los Angeles suffered," Pratt said. "In some of the hot spots, Korean merchants were able to successfully protect their stores with semi-automatic firearms. In areas where armed citizens banded together for self-protection, their businesses were spared while others -- which were left unprotected. -- burned to the ground."

Interestingly, press reports in the aftermath of the riots described how life-long gun control supporters were running to gun stores to buy an item they never thought they would need -- a gun.

Tragically, they were surprised (and outraged!) to learn there was a 15-day waiting period upon firearms.

"Will we never learn?" Pratt asked. "It is a fact that firearms save millions of lives every year. So if Mayor Ray Nagin really wanted to help the decent citizens of New Orleans, he would be issuing law abiding citizens firearms instead of taking them away. Nagin's actions will put people in further jeopardy -- and if one citizen dies in New Orleans because he was deprived of the ability to defend himself or his family, there will be blood on the Mayor's hands."

The question is: Mr. Mayor, if a mother or father dies because of your unconscionable confiscation: Will you take the responsibility to take care of the orphaned children and raise them as your own?

ABOUT LARRY AND ERICH PRATT.

Not Since 1842.

Mexican troops are on American soil. The America of our Fathers is dead. Get used to it.

Jack Boot Thugs.

I guessed we learned nothing from Katrina. The Jack Boot Thugs are coming disarm the good guys.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 8 - Waters were receding across this flood-beaten city today as police officers began confiscating weapons, including legally registered firearms, from civilians in preparation for a mass forced evacuation of the residents still living here.

Gee. Saw that one coming.
No civilians in New Orleans will be allowed to carry pistols, shotguns or other firearms, said P. Edwin Compass III, the superintendent of police. "Only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons," he said.

Hey, that's the long-term goal isn't it?
But that order apparently does not apply to hundreds of security guards hired by businesses and some wealthy individuals to protect property. The guards, employees of private security companies like Blackwater, openly carry M-16's and other assault rifles. Mr. Compass said that he was aware of the private guards, but that the police had no plans to make them give up their weapons.

Hmmm. Well, what did expect. I'm sure the folks who work for Blackwater are much smarter than the average citizen.
While armed looters roamed unchecked last week, the city is now calm. No arrests were made on Wednesday night or this morning, and the police received only 10 calls for service, a police spokesman said.

Then why the hell are you taking the law abiding citiznen's weapons away from them?
Officers will search houses in both dry and flooded neighborhoods, and no one will be allowed to stay, he said.

Why?
"I know the risks," said Renee de Pontchieux, as she sat on a stool outside Kajun's Pub in the working-class Bywater neighborhood east of downtown. "We used to think we lived in America - now we're not so sure. Why should we allow this government to chase us out and allow people from outside to rebuild our homes? We want to rebuild our homes."

I agree with that.

I don't like the way this is going one bit.

Sick.

Every now and then I come across something that just about makes me physically sick. Story is here.
The man, whom a police official described as emotionally disturbed, was taken into custody for questioning.

No shit. Emotionally disturbed? Ya think? He should be dead. I'm not going to try to put a RKBA spin on everything but it would have been splendid if someone had popped him because the way the laws are in this country he won't get what he deserves.
The building has a mix of apartments that residents said rent for $1,500 to $1,800 a month, as well as some apartments that rent to people in a supportive housing program for the mentally ill affiliated with the Federation Employment and Guidance Service Inc.

That's nice. That worked out well.

Outrage.

Following up on Joshua Fromer, the 19 year old fellow Lynner who was taken from the world by an illegal immigrant...

The Lynn Item story is here.
Lynn District Court Judge Albert Conlon denied the prosecution's request to hold Lopes on $100,000 cash bail at Tuesday's court hearing, and instead ordered Lopes held on $7,500.

$7500.00?! For killing a citizen of a country your not supposed to be in, while operating a vehicle your not licensed to operate?

So if this swine makes bail are we to assume he's going to follow the rules and show up for court and not head back to Guatemala? He hasn't done a very good job of following the rules so far. So what, his family sends some of the money he has sent to Guatemala back to the U.S. to bail him out and he lies low in Guatemala for a while so he can come back under another alias in a few years?

Thanks Judge Albert Conlon. Way to send a message to the illegal immigrants in our country.

Rest in Peace.

Judge Rehnquist has died at 80.









So much for the libs having a good long weekend.

Gas Theft.

I can't believe it's starting already.

I woke up on my my couch at 4:00 AM. As I was shutting off the TV and the lights as noticed the motion sensor flood light in my yard go off. I grabbed my 12 gauge and ran downstairs to see what was going on. I stood on my back porch Remington in hand and yelled,"Who the fuck is out here?"

I started to come off the steps to do a walk around of my house to make sure there were no signs of someone breaking in.(My sister lives on the first floor.) There was a truck that I had never seen before in the drive way with the driver's door wide open and the interior light on. I went back in to make sure it belonged to a friend of my sister"s and was not abandoned. It did indeed belong to friend of hers who had crashed on the couch.(His ass better be on the couch!) I told him his truck was open and to go make sure nothing was stolen.

After I went back upstairs it went off again, which leads me to believe someone may have been hiding in my neighbors yard waiting for the guy with the shotgun to go away. I went downstairs and did another walk around. This time with a pistol. I stayed up for a while and watched the yard from my second floor porch with my SW99 compact at the ready.(It's not good to stand in front of your house with a 12 gauge and a flashlight, especially on a busy street.) While I was waiting I saw a neighbor's motion sensor light go off. Who knows if it was related. Eventually my adrenaline lowered to a level where I could go back to sleep.

I figured someone tried to steal stuff out friend of my sister's truck.

I didn't put 2 and 2 together until today when I went out and noticed the gas door on my pickup was open. That's what set the motion sensor off. The must have had plenty of time to mess with the other pickup truck but when they got to mine it set off the light.

Goldangit! If they got mine the next step probably would have been to force the gas door open on my wife's Lexus, causing body damage. Holy Shit I would have been pissed.

Get a motion light and a shotgun, these are crazy times.

(Would I have shot someone for trying to steal gas? Nah, probably not. Unless they were stupid enough to attack the guy with the shotgun. Would I point it at them and let them put a load in their Levi's? Absolutely.)

Are You Ready?

A very good post from Preacherman over at thehighroad.org. You never know when a SHTF situation will arise.

Instant Messenger Quote of the Day!

Cr*******78: I bet none the Hollywood assholes are going all out to help people down South because they want maximum body count to embarass Bush. I bet they're all that sick.

No explanation necessary. I guess Harry Connick is better than nothing. (Aww, I guess he's not that bad.)

WTF!

What the hell is going in down South? Who are these looters? I'm not talking about the ones who grabbed Pampers and water, I'm talking about the savages running around with weapons ransacking shops and hospitals. It's like a third world country. I feel very bad for any honest citizen who is not armed. The looters have shot a cop, shot a national guardsman, shot at rescue helicopters and so much more I can't mention it all. What the hell is that? These people have forfeited their status as American citizens and should be dealt with in the same manner as any enemy combatant. It looks like the Rodney King riots at a water park and something needs to be done. Quickly.

Is our military so overextended that we don't have the resources to handle this tragedy. It seems so. Maybe when our leaders tell us our military is of adequate size and capability for the task at hand they should add that it is only the case as long as NOTHING ELSE GOES WRONG IN OUR COUNTRY.

Buy a gun. Buy a whole bunch of guns. Buy guns for your neighbors. Your government cannot protect you from the savages that live among us.
