I have an idea for all of our politicians on the Hill that want to enact gun laws that only punish the innocent. Since I have no faith in the “you have to vote for the bill, to see what’s in it” crowd, I’ll also be happy to share with folks in all of the flyover redneck states that somehow manage to balance their budgets.
And since we have an Attorney General that has never seen a constitution that cannot be interpreted politically — would have to be up to individual State’s Attorneys and state legislators.
Force cities with high gun crime rates to enforce the gun laws already on the books and go after the criminals that commit 99.99% of gun crime.
Force those that violate the public trust and the oath of their office to be held accountable.
Those cities that choose not to enforce the law and make an effort to take ILLEGAL guns off the street will face incremental fines that go up as each crime with an illegal gun is committed. The law enforcement officials (talking to you Garry F. McCarthy) and mayor will be given warning and then also charged criminally for not enforcing the law by statute.
When you consider that 90% of the guns crimes in this country occur in cities with the toughest guns laws that are never enforced in high crime areas that are run by Democratic machines that would consider this political suicide — this might seem a pipe dream.
However, according to that great sage Saul Alinsky, this would be the perfect time to make this a wedge issue.
We must embrace legal gun control. Embrace it with everything that we have. End gun crime.
End it by taking illegal guns off the streets and by punishing those that refuse to do it.
Before you start going after the people that commit less than .004% of all gun crimes…
Enforce the fucking law as it stands.
This stops here.
We have an opportunity to take an issue and throw it in the face of the hypocrites. They want to own this?
Lets feed it down their throat every crime committed by an illegal gun owner in their districts at a time. Not hard to follow this. Also not hard to keep up with legal gun owners that defend themselves — it’s starting to get momentum.
There is a black market,with no recourse for compensation in case of failure. Were this legal, and yes, I think it should be, I think that at least 10′s of thousands of lives can be saved. There are many people who are hard put upon who can receive a significant payday while at the same time saving lives of 10′s if not hundreds of thousands, or maybe if it was globally applied millions of lives, on both sides.
On one side, you have those beneficiaries of the organs that are willing donated from a live donor, (kindeys, skin, and partial liver transplants) as well as those who are in such desperate measures that they will take such a risk. If it were legal, which I believe it should, then there would be additional protections requiring that the process is as safe as possible, such as a guarantee to next of kin, or an assigned beneficiary through a will that must be filed in advance of the procedure.
Another thing it can do, is allow prisoners to “will” their organs, in exchange for compensation posthumously, including deathrow inmates. THIS subject is the reason I support “Nitrogen Asphyxiation” as a humane and also beneficial method of execution, allowing scum, on a volunteer basis, to do something good with their death.
Other than The Soul, and the Mind, we are basically machines, and sometimes we can take advantage of the appropriate replacement part. Also This will open up a market that will save lives through biological exchange, as well as lives through contractual exchange, that will ALSO lead to a reduction in price, and rarity.
Saving lives through risk. I did that, Mesa did that, Most of my friends did that, and all we got was the pretty uniforms and a lot of pride. That was enough for me, but for others, they need something else. If whatever that something else saves lives, then I’m all for it.
Last week we spent a lot of time writing about Brett Kimberlin and the incident involving blogger Patterico where someone spoofed his phone number and told 911 he had shot his wife.
Tonight, my family was sitting around the kitchen table eating dinner when sheriffs deputies pulled up in the driveway.
Someone called 911 from my address claiming there had been an accidental shooting.
It wasn’t nearly the trauma that Patterico suffered, but I guess the Erickson household is on somebody’s radar.
Luckily it was two sheriffs deputies who knew me and I had already, last week, advised the Sheriff’s Department to be on the look out for something like this.
Not the bombings carried out by Brett Kimberlin that blew people up. Blew their legs off. Not those bombs.
No, these are the perceived as a victim, horrible hurt feelings — compared to a Planned Parenthood Bombing.
The Speedway Bomber has reacted to his weekend in the sun by releasing a few interesting responses.
Brett Kimberlin had the nerve to compare his outing this weekend on his 501(c) sites to say that he “knows what the Planned Parenthood bombings feel like.”
Not going to link his sites. Over 1.8 million dollars have already found their way towards his insanity. His limbs and life are still fully intact — it’s only his bomb leaving feelings that we have to worry about.
The person that actually planted bombs — is the victim.
Brett, does call out in this not in any way creepy video of — leaving another bomb on a train platform while his horribly un-autotuned voice unfortunately doesn’t scare us into wondering why we can’t find a way to grasp his narrow focus. Do yourself a favor and don’t click on the link. Seriously.
Oh wait, that was just something that you mentioned in the bizarre book that was written about you that sold a few copies that you thought could finance your new future — until it couldn’t. When my life story is finally told, they will be hard pressed to match the title of yours — Citizen K: The Deeply Weird American Journey of Brett Kimberlin
Sucks about the civil judgement from the widow of your bombing victim — it might cramp your style.
So, what to do?
I know — it’s not that hard.
You’re going back to court my friend — on different terms than you are used to. See, we won’t file frivolous suits. We will face you head on, with an expertise that you could only wish you had on your side when you were facing the thirty three felonies that you were convicted of.
Every single part of the game that you are used to playing has already been exposed in the public venue — what you are used to using as a tool of intimidation and extortion — we wait for it.
There is not a court in this land that you can find any credibility in now that your true background is known — again.
And then, we’re going to take all of the money that you shammed people out of and make sure that it goes back to your victims — right before you go back to prison.
You gave us a blueprint — shame on us if we don’t follow it.
All those years in prison made Brett Kimberlin an angsty boy with a horrible penchant for really bad rap.
It appears that sometime around 2006, several years after Kimberlin was released from prison, he joined a band named Op-Critical. The band’s music can best be described as liberal alternative rock and they claim some of it has been featured at ACLU and Amnesty International events. Their music mirrors that of other little known liberal bands who trashed bush in the later part of his presidency and would be unremarkable if it weren’t for the fact that one of the guys playing guitar and singing is a violent criminal.
Take, for instance, the Op-Critical song titled Fear. The song describes Americans being fearful and “thinking that the plastic bag maybe isn’t innocent” and how that undue fear is being used by Bush to control them. The lyrics mocking the fear of terrorist attacks would, again, be unremarkable for a late 2000s liberal band if they weren’t sung by a man convicted of setting off bombs in a small American town and the music video didn’t feature that bomber lurking around the Cleveland Park DC Metro station complete with shots of an unattended bag.
When Brett Kimberlin first came to my attention, I had no idea that someone/sociopath could be stupid enough to use public venues to paint himself into such a corner of shit quite so quickly.
THE NIGHT I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF MY BLOGGING
At 12:35 a.m. on July 1, 2011, sheriff’s deputies pounded on my front door and rang my doorbell. They shouted for me to open the door and come out with my hands up.
When I opened the door, deputies pointed guns at me and ordered me to put my hands in the air. I had a cell phone in my hand. Fortunately, they did not mistake it for a gun.
They ordered me to turn around and put my hands behind my back. They handcuffed me. They shouted questions at me: IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE HOUSE? and WHERE ARE THEY? and ARE THEY ALIVE?
I told them: Yes, my wife and my children are in the house. They’re upstairs in their bedrooms, sleeping. Of course they’re alive.
Deputies led me down the street to a patrol car parked about 2-3 houses away. At least one neighbor was watching out of her window as I was placed, handcuffed, in the back of the patrol car. I saw numerous patrol cars on my quiet street. There was a police helicopter flying overhead, shining a spotlight down on us as I walked towards the patrol car. Several neighbors later told us the helicopter woke them up. I saw a fire engine and an ambulance. A neighbor later told me they had a HazMat vehicle out on the street as well.
Meanwhile, police rushed into my home. They woke up my wife, led her downstairs and to the front porch, frisked her, and asked her where the children were. Then police ordered her to stand on the front porch with her hands against the wall while they entered my children’s bedrooms to make sure they were alive.
The call that sent deputies to my home was a hoax. Someone had pretended to be me. They called the police to say I had shot my wife. The sheriff’s deputies who arrived at my front door believed they were about to confront an armed man who had just shot his wife. I don’t blame the police for any of their actions. But I blame the person who made the call.
Because I could have been killed.
The weirdest part of the whole thing was that I halfway expected this might happen. Because I was not the first one it had happened to.
Audio there of the fake call to 911 that got SWAT to show up at a deputy DA’s house in the middle of the night thinking that he might have killed someone.
Chilling.
Please read the entire post — it’s truly beyond what you can imagine.
Is this speculation? Reaching to make a point? Taking available information when someone who was clearly innocent and his family were pulled out of their house at gunpoint by a SWAT team in the middle night to point blame? Not the first time it’s happened, the SWATing thing. Turns out it’s a method of choice by the fake Anonymous/LulzSec wannabees.
Maybe.
But, I don’t make the rules. For the lunatics, there are no rules. Ex parte lawsuits against individuals filed over and over — hundreds of times to intimidate and bully.
Friends, this is just an extreme example of the tactics that the passionate progressives have used over the last few years — because, in many cases — it works. Squelching Free Speech in the name of the Greater Good.
We are at a very important point in the history of our nation. One might say — a turning point.
This entire mess comes up at a time when we should be looking forward. To work as hard as possible to un-elect a promise the world everything, while burying us in debt president.
But, we don’t own these maniacs. The progressive/pretend 99%’rs do.
They funded these lunatics and looked the other way while they ran rampant as long as the taint of their actions could not be connected to them through layers of PAC donations and fake charities.
Well, no more. This one is going to blow up. This one is going to cause people that would not normally take notice to re-evaluate whether they should just sit back.
The Tea Party started over extreme discontent over obscene government spending and waste directed in the worst way possible at the worst possible time. We’ve already seen the initial results of that — thank you Nancy Pelosi.
Thank you, Brett Kimberlin….what a fitting honor it would be for this action to be named after you.
The Kimberlin Party.
The Kimberlin Affair.
Kimberlin Nation.
Or…..Kimberlin’s Bombers…..Oh wait, can you sue me for bringing up your criminal record again?
It was at Speedway High School where the freshman football team had just played a game and the players were still getting dressed. Hundreds of parents and students were either waiting in their cars or walking through the parking lot after the game.
A Speedway High School gym bag had been left by itself, as if forgotten by a player. One of the parents, Carl DeLong, 39, walked over to retrieve it when the bomb went off. His right leg was nearly blown off and his left leg and right hand were severely damaged. Doctors tried to save his leg but had to amputate.
Can’t say I have anything to add to this. I only heard about the guy vaguely over the last couple months and didn’t pay much attention. If he was just one more douche spamming and trolling conservatives, I probably wouldn’t be typing anything right now. It’s not like domestic terrorists who find their ideological kin on the left is a rare thing after all, but as the details of the personal aspects started dripping out ,especially this mornings Patterico piece, I figured this was a worthy thing to take part in. Actually, I figured it after Aaron Worthings recounting of experience of suffering serial harassment from this criminal made it worth mentioning, (sorry lost the link for Aaron) even though initially I thought of it mostly as a procedural thing, until I thought about it a bit more. The guy routinely tries to out people who disagree with him, and then using the most vitriolic language, either himself or through surrogates made me realize that though I’m a nobody, even my dumb and largely adolescent ass had to join in.
Then Patterico’s account, JESUS MAN! READ IT! this morning took me from supporter of a protest against an abusive douchenozzel who shouldn’t be in free society let alone running a 501(c) to not just believing and thinking to know that this scumbag is EVIL! John J. Haley might be a piece of fucking shit, but Brett Kimberlin and anyone who enables him are taking part in something that is truly evil.
As I said, I can’t really contribute much if anything, other than saying that I stand against this creature and in support of genuinely nice guys that have been suffering under the very real threat of intimidation and violence due to the whims of this vile bag of organized cells.

There will be an incredible amount of truth written about you today that you are not going to be happy about.
Sue me first.
Go for it.
I have not posted in a very long time. This blog used to pull some weight back in the early days of the blogosphere. Friends were made, new blogs were created — a couple got pretty big. I was honored to guest post on a couple of the really big blogs. No matter.
What I did do was create an online persona back in the days of blogging anonymously that garnered at the very least — a modicum of respect for my thoughts and methods.
I started to miss the days of hardcore “discussion” as blogging became more mainstream, so I bowed out. Still following but not involved. Until earlier this week I learned of your terror attacks on some of my fellow brethren.
Mr. Kimberlin (and noxious friends), I call you out to try to find me and do to me what you have done in recent months to others that I would call friends. I hate to make this about me, but I would truly enjoy personally embarassing you in this venue. Or, in court.
Federal tax forms filed by convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin’s tax-exempt non-profit Justice Through Music Project (JTMP) show that the 501(c)3 group collected $1.8 million in gifts, grants and other contributions during its first six years of operation. An analysis using database research indicates that more than $300,000 of that sum came in the form of grants from tax-exempt foundations, including the George Soros-connected Tides Foundation, the Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, the Barbara Streisand Foundation, and the Heinz Family Foundation, connected to Democrat Sen. John Kerry’s wife.
Here’s the list of Brett Kimberlin’s current actions. Not all are conservatives; Seth Allen is a liberal. When he comes to covering up his misdeeds, Kimberlin’s ego trumps politics.
Seth Allen
Kimberlin reopened civil defamation and stalking case
Appealing contempt order against Seth Allen that was denied
Aaron Walker aka Aaron Worthing
Ex Parte Peace order issued on Tuesday
Appealing Peace Order that was denied on 4/11
Filed Bar complaint against Aaron 5/1
Pat Frey aka Patterico
Named as third party in Seth Allen suit
Subject of suit by Nadia Naffe that appears to have possible affiliation with Brett Kimberlin
Robert Stacy McCain
Harassment of wife’s employer by Brett Kimberlin that was considered enough of a potentional threat that McCain and his family were forced to move
James O’Keefe
Kimberlin trying to get copies of Jame’s emails supposedly in the possession of Nadia Naffe
UPDATE: WickedPinto Fully Supports this. I don’t hide who I am, but I don’t broadcast, and I argue, not litigate, must be nice to have tax free money to fund your fights you MIDGET PUSSY!
I am just amazed. It reminds me of when I was at Fort Gordon for my crypto courses, and one of the guys in the “rock” courses over a long weekend went outside of the designated diameter for a vacation to visit his family in Pennsylvania somewhere. He was almost home, and stopped at a rest stop to clean up a bit with his friend. He comes out, and hears a scream. Apparently a kid, just a few years old, walked away from his mom, and fell through the ice. The guy, cuz he was a Marine, and that’s what they do, ran out, got the info, and crawled out to get the kid, trying not to break the ice, his friend also a Marine crawled out in a different way basically to lend support. The kid went under, the guy goes into the water, and basically throws the kid to his friend, and then manages to crawl out.
The local paper played it up, Local Marine on Vacation Rescues Child. You know, good press stuff. But, BUT! he was outside the authorized diameter, and came back to get charged. ALSO When he got home, he had to go to the hospital because he was feeling sick, turned out to be nothing, but he lost a day, because he had the GALL! to be outside the allowed perimeter he got charged, (it was dropped because we all had phones and we called the local paper that ran the story in the first place, and the First Sgt, who was acting Plt Comm decided to drop the deal) but that story made me think of that.
As for people not being trained or Having the right gear, that’s a shame. If only there were, say, a private organization, that routinely trained Young Men, primarily Young Men who are Christian as an ASSOCIATION, that could train even NON-Christians, Like Say Me, to become Lifeguards in California. I know it’s just crazy talk, it’s not like such training could have any practical purpose other than indoctrinating children into the christian cult, I mean look at how successful with me, or that any USEFUL skills like being able to swim, perform rescues when necessary, and being SQ when they join the Marine Corps, in case their ship gets hit and they have to say, SWIM THROUGH BURNING OIL AND SHIT!
No, Completely useless. Maybe the California YMCA’s only cater to Village People Enthusiasts, but when I was a kid, they catered to Young Men who needed a place to train various skills, and Swimming was a big one. The Christian thing was a Hope, but not a requirement.
Some kid got suspended out of concern that he was making other non-white students uncomfortable since he clearly indicated a preference for White supremacy. Why? White kid, white t-shirt, you connect the dots duh.
But the funny part, the white principle who was responsible for this stupidity, while being interviewed, is wearing a white shirt. Clearly he knows of which he speaks.
Since Congress has failed in their oversight role, when they should have immediately removed the juggling act of funding for this stupid act of war. Just do nothing like they did before.
Since “The President” is clearly violating the law, in it’s writing and in it’s intent, congress can just look at him sternly, waiting for him to finally let the curtain be drawn and show his willingness to violate the law of the land.
Before I get the mataconis and joyner argument on me not being a lawyer (which I am not, I’m lucky if I spell it correctly) or “history” and referencing the barbary war being waged without authorization (though notification once the truth was learned) American Citizens were in peril, routinely being taken slave, punished, and executied, and the weeks long travel before authorization was inconvenient to say the least, that is why we have ROE, because the Barbary wars were a war against PIRACY, which is already a part of common law, and requires no authorization. So Shut your hole.
This was a deliberate act, one that required 10 days of deliberation, just long enough to become muddled and confused because we chose to follow THE FRENCH!, because our president is stupid, and chose to “Oh, my bad, forgot for the last 2 months” bullcrap. no, he’s an idiot, and he really thinks he has a right to do whatever he wants. Congress SHOULD have defunded all action within a few days of the initiation, but they didn’t, they failed, fair enough, but the law is still the law and it’s still on the books, and if “The President” ignores it for the next 28 days, without specific authorization, he IS a criminal, and likely (only in the technical sense) knowingly so. Lack of enforcement of a law, makes breaking that law no less a lawless act.
It’s not neocon hatemongers using any excuse to get the Residents case, but a reality. Even when clinton went into the balkans (we were in a lot more places than bosnia) He didn’t do so until he had already submitted a request to congress, and congress eventually approved. What this says about executive war powers is at best bizarre and at worst (though I disagree) impeachable.
