Houston AGWs Murder Couple on the Basis of “Untruths or Lies”

140

That word – in the headline – is harsh. But it’s editorially honest.

A middle-aged couple, Dennis Tuttle (59) and Rhogena Nicholas (58) were Hut! Hut! Hutted! to death in their Houston, TX home by a pack of armed government thugs who invaded their home on the basis of a criminal warrant  . . . the criminal part being the lies confected by “lead investigator” Gerald Goines.

News story here

It turns out (post mortem) that Goines deliberately lied about material facts in order to obtain the warrant that led to the fatal Hut! Hut! Hutting!

This has been admitted to by Oberstgruppenfuhrer (i.e., five star “general”) Art Acevedo.

Goines made up a story about drug transactions allegedly taking place at the home – which even if true could not possibly justify the murderous Hut! Hut! Hutting! which ensued, except in the murderously amoral place the United States has become.

One of the reasons America has become a far-from-free place is because of the despicable idea that people can be violently assaulted by armed government thugs for peacefully – in their own homes, even – partaking of or buying/selling substances arbitrarily decreed to be illegal.

We’re either free adults – or we are essentially cattle on two legs, the property of farmers who own us as livestock.

At any rate, this Goines person decided he wanted to have a Hut! Hut! Hut! party at the Tuttle house – and scribbled the necessary lies. Tacticooled, body-armored “heroes” descended on the home – and the startled couple did what many of us would do in their place.

They fought back.

This resulted in a hailstorm of lead and two dead victims – Tuttle and Nicholas – plus five merely wounded murderous AGWs, including Goines.

Goines is being criminally prosecuted for the “untruths or lies” he peddled to obtain the warrant, in the words of Oberstgruppenfuhrer Acevedo.

But – and this is important – he is not facing murder charges. As any mere “citizen” would, if they stormed an innocent person’s home and shot two people to death. The fact that the two people shot back would be considered legitimate self-defense and would in no way mitigate the criminality of the “citizen’s” actions.

But when AGWs Hut! Hut! Hut!... well, a different (double) standard applies. Both with regard to the actions – and their consequences.   

Oberstgruppenfuhrer Acevedo said: “When we prepare a document to go into somebody’s home it has to be truthful, it has to be honest, it has to be absolutely factual. So, we know already there’s a crime that’s been committed.”

Not a word from the Oberstgruppenfuhrer about the double homicide perpetrated by Goines and his crew of Hut! Hut! Hutters!

He did previously praise his murderous subordinate – who has reportedly been an AGW for 30 years – as “tough as nails.”

It brings to mind what Stalin reportedly said about Lavrenty Beria to one of Roosevelt’s aids at Yalta: “He is our Himmler,” Uncle Joe genially explained.

We have lots of such “Uncles” now.

One wonders how many other times Goines peddled “untruths or lies” over the course of all those decades enforcing laws, actual as well as made-up. Is it probable that this particular case of “untruths or lies” is the only one?

Or the only one discovered?

It is worth discussing in this regard the fact that the sworn say-so of an AGW is considered evidence while anything a mere “civilian” says is dismissed out of hand as hearsay.

You can be convicted on the mere say-so of an AGW. But anything you say is “irrelevant.”

Goines provided “evidence” – his say-so – that resulted in a lethal Hut! Hut! Hutting! But how many other victims of Goines’ “untruths or lies” remain uncatalogued?

Remain convicted?

If, as in this case, it has been established that an AGW manufactured “evidence” in one case, is it not reasonable to presume he manufactured “evidence” in others? Or at the least, to concede that such a person’s “evidence” is questionable on the face of it?

Arguably, any person so much as levied a fine on the basis of Goines’ (or any other caught-lying AGW) say-so ought to have their fines refunded – plus interest – the money taken directly out of the pocket of Goines himself.

Not out of the taxpayers’ pockets.

The same for any compensation awarded by a court, post-mortem, to the surviving family of his victims.

Make him pay. And charge him.

If Goines and others like him had to think about the possibility of life behind bars – and their families living in a van by the river – in the event of their committing an atrocity such as the one visited on Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas, it is very likely the both of them would still be breathing rather than pushing up daisies.

  1. Since AGW’s are authorized to use deadly force, the standard for use needs to be higher than for the normals. Because you can’t get those lives back. And they are just as valuable as the lives of the AGW’s.

  2. Does anyone watch Live PD? I think it’s on A&E or TrueTV perhaps. It’s quite enlightening. My takeaways:
    No. 1 These heroes we are told to revere are mostly a bunch of pussies. They freak out over some guy’s little pocket knife, for example, making a big deal out of “disarming” him or just flat out assume everyone, especially black people, is armed. In one episode, they (mistakenly) thought four teenagers were robbers and made them crawl, one at a time, across the street, so fearful were they to approach because one of these wussy little boys might take a shot at them. I understand about safety first, but cops blather on constantly about their training and their bravery and they enjoy a privilege the rest of us don’t have: the right to shoot people with no questions asked. With power comes responsibility. We honor you for “risking your lives,” so risk your life.
    No. 2 Cops are racist. Black people, even if they are stopped for something like a broken taillight, are always pulled out of their cars, handcuffed and searched, as is the car. Passengers, who should not even be spoken to during a minor traffic infraction stop, are also IDed, cuffed and searched.
    No. 3 People don’t know their rights. Cops will say things like, “if you have drugs, just tell me. It will go better for you if you’re honest, blah, blah …” NO, it won’t. The charge will be the same whether he finds your stash or you hand it over. You do not have to answer their questions or aid them in your persecution in any way. I’m constantly yelling “For God’s sake, shut up!” at these hapless idiots on the tv.
    No. 3 Sometimes they get real criminals. In one episode, a cop just lucked into busting a fugitive murderer walking on an Ohio interstate armed with a giant pigsticker. That guy needed removal and I thank them for doing so. And to be fair, I’ve seen them calmly and reasonably diffuse some really nasty domestic situations without actually shooting anyone.
    But mostly they just hassle people over drugs.

    • Hi Amy,

      Well-said!

      The encomiums to these “heroes” have always curled my lip. A real hero doesn’t talk about his “safety.” He acts for the sake of others – at the risk of his own.

      I use the term armed government worker (AGW) to denote the fact that these faux “heroes” are just bureaucrats with guns; certainly not “heroes.”

    • Amy, when I was barely into double digits I recall a couple having a domestic dispute. When a cop got there the guy got quite animated so we are told. He was drunk and talking trash to the cop. He had a knife in his hand(so the cop said) so the cop blasted him with a .357 Mag…..killed him as did his wife standing behind him. I always wondered how much danger she was actually in since she obviously could have put distance between herself and her husband. She stood by her man, as Tammy would say, and died by her man. I’m guessing it was neighbors who called the cops.

  3. Honestly, it’s not hard to see how we got from Adam-12 to where we are today.

    You start by taking God and the Judaeo-Christian ethic out of public life because it’s oppressive or stodgy or not inclusive enough. This will increase the chance of someone joining the force who is amoral or a power-tripper.

    After that, you add a few high-profile cases of unusually well-armed criminals, such as the Symbionese Liberation Army (did anyone ever figure out what they were fighting for?) and Chicago Latin Kings in the 1970s, and make that out to be the new normal.

    Season to taste with a little bit of terrorism.

    At the same time, leave all legitimate and illegitimate entry vectors wide open to increase the chance of a terrorist or well-armed criminal entering the USA in the first place.

    Use all this as a justification to train police officers that EVERYONE is a potential threat and/or target and/or terrorist.

    Take a wild guess where you’re going to end up after you do all this.

    • There is no such thing as a “Judeo – Christian ethic”.
      Judaism has been at war with Christianity since before the Jews convinced Pilate to crucify the Son of God.
      Judaism is adherence to the Talmud, not the Torah. As Jesus pointed out, it was the very opposite of the Word of God. The Talmud is the Torah (Old Testament) rewritten by Satan. Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are irreconcilable. Only Christianity teaches salvation by grace alone through faith alone and not by any meritorious works. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that Roman Catholicism is Christian either. Roman Catholicism is works based, that is exactly why there was a Reformation and the proof of irreconcilable differences was the succeeding bloody wars and the Inquisition the Pope waged against the Reformers.

      • Actually it’s the Protestant Reformation that replaced “good works” with the false doctrine of “judeo-Christianity” in which “good works” were considered “useless” for salvation. This is where the flawed concept of “predestination” in which living one’s life in a chaste, honest manner had no bearing on salvation, and was adopted by the Protestants. The Catholics had it right, except for using “indulgences” (fast track into heaven) as a fundraising mechanism. “Good works” may not get one into heaven, but making the world a better place can’t hurt. Can it? Indulgences were an abomination that deserved to be abolished.
        Tying Judaism to Christianity was a clever trick used by the jews to “cement” their claim to the “land of Israel” and of the covenant, to which I reply, “God is not a real estate agent”.
        Jews rejected the covenant when they murdered Jesus Christ. Their covenant with God was then “null and void”.
        It is the flawed Schofield translation of the Bible that elevated jews to the status of Christianity’s “elder brothers”, which was then reinforced by the Catholic (flawed) “Vatican II Ecumenical Council” in the 1960s.
        I cringe when I hear well-meaning people talk about out judeo-Christian heritage.
        Nothing could be further from the truth.
        The only common thread between Christianity and judaism is the Ten Commandments, nothing more.
        The god of judaism is a vengeful god, totally unlike the merciful and welcoming God of Christianity.
        Christianity welcomes ALL, regardless of nationality or social status, not true of judaism.
        Judaism is an insular belief system that shuns outsiders, prohibits proselytization, and promotes a form of supremacy, relegating all gentiles (non-jews) to the status of livestock-subhumans with souls, only to be used for the advancement and benefit of jews.
        Jews DID murder Jesus Christ. Sad to say, even the present-day (post-Vatican II ecumenical council) Catholic church has bought into absolving the jews for Jesus Christ’s murder. As always is the case, the jews got others, the Romans to do their dirty work for them, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. How can Christians have the same values as the Jews; the very people who denounced and betrayed the founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ, and call for his execution (by others, of course, that is the Jewish way). It makes absolutely no sense at all. Jews have no respect for Christianity, for Jesus Christ or Mary, his mother, who are both honored as Prophets in Islam, but instead, Jews spit on hearing their names and do the same while passing a Christian of any kind or a Christian Church in Israel. They have no respect for Christians or any other religion.
        It is time the Jewish lobbies and the American Government leaders as well as the evangelical Christian leaders who mislead the poor American young into joining the military and believing that they are doing something for God and Christianity by fighting Israel’s wars were named, shamed and arrested and tried for treason.

        • According to Protestant doctrine, one can be a sh!thead criminal or bad person all his life, abusing others, and then on his deathbed profess and ask for forgiveness and he will be granted “eternal life” in heaven while a person who has lived a chaste life, always having consideration for others, having treated everyone in a honest manner, but does not ask for forgiveness, is denied eternal salvation. There is something wrong with this picture. The Protestants do have it wrong.
          How a person lives his life DOES have bearing on the next phase of existence.

          • Amen, Anarchyst.

            I cannot get my head around the doctrine that a benevolent deity would forgive a lifetime of evil actions, even mass murder – while consigning people who live their lives trying hard to avoid injuring others, being respectful, decent and kind to their fellow creatures, working to make the world better not because of threats of punishment but because they want to do so – to an eternity of suffering for not acknowledging the deity while they lived, or asking his “forgiveness.”

            If such a deity exists, it is a deity I reject – with the greatest contempt I can summon.

            • That’s because no one is perfect. Not you, not me, not anyone except Jesus Christ himself. We’ve all done evil things in our time, to one degree or another. We all need forgiveness, one as another.

              There’s another thing to it as well. Free will. If He forced us to choose him, then that choice would be without meaning. There will always be people who don’t, and those who do will still screw up sometimes, and so as long as that continues to be the case, bad things will happen to good people, and good to bad.

              • Hi Chuck,

                Without doubt; I am well toward the front of the line of sinners myself. But I do try to be better, as the mood strikes!

                Forgiveness is a wonderful thing. But some things are – in my view – unforgivable. Stalin, for example. If such a person, as he lay dying, asked for forgiveness, I’d happily piss down his throat to drown his final gasps for breath. And if such a person can be admitted to heaven – assuming such a place existed – by appealing to the deity at the last moment and asking for forgiveness, then I piss down the throat of the deity as well.

                Mistakes are one thing. Evil, vile people are another.

            • I am amazing how many professing Christians and even some of my faith (LDS) have, likely without intent, imagined up a “Jerk” God that seeks reasons to eternally punish His children for arbitrary and capricious reasons.

          • anarchyst, you’re assuming and when you assume, you make an Ass of U and Me. I believe no such thing as “the next phase”. Should there be such, I’ll be damned surprised or I’ll be something else altogether with no knowledge of this “life”. Just my 2 cents.

            • I assume NOTHING…
              Everyone who has experienced the “tidbit” of an afterlife has reported that the experience was mostly positive. Unsuccessful suicides invariably report a negative experience.

              • I almost died of carbon monoxide poisoning……but I didn’t. I reckon if I had, I’d have a bit more to say on the subject if I were somehow the same entity. I would hope a few days at room temperature I’d at least experience no pain but I have to wonder just what degree of afterlife constitutes a “tidbit”.

              • People who remember their after death experiences report that they are usually what they expected to experience, especially when they failed to commit suicide.
                Anything that isn’t a direct recollection something that physically exists on this physical plane would constitute a tidbit of the “afterlife.”
                We are not human beings having spiritual experiences, we are spiritual beings having human experiences.

                • When people in France were getting their heads cut off, often wrongfully, a couple guys did an experiment with one’s death. He said he’d blink his eyes after he was beheaded until he couldn’t. He blinked his eyes for 15 seconds.

                  Maybe his heart was also still beating but it wasn’t connected to his brain. Maybe he had a thought or two after his eyes quit blinking.

                  Every report of people being dead and then being revived involved their heart to have quit beating even though their brain is obviously working. I think you have some thoughts but not when you’re room temperature.

                • There have been experiments and reports where people who had died and were revived or had near death experiences could accurately describe things that they could only see out of body.

                  Some times intentional messages on the top of cabinets and such that could only be read from above.

                  • The brain is amazing. I have had out of body experiences when nearly dead and from LSD. When you can look down on things from above or look up from below, when you’re not moving, your brain is into a mode no one understands.

                    When I almost died from carbon monoxide poisoning, I could “feel” myself floating into the ether. I wasn’t moving but I thought I was.
                    It’s really not like thinking but more like dreaming.

                    • V, I think my wifi is causing me to have crazy dreams. I turned it off last night and removed the battery from my phone.

    • Hi Chuck,

      I agree with most of what you’ve written – but consider the fundamental problem to be the enforcement of illegitimate laws. Take away the Authority of an AGW to harm people who’ve caused no harm to anyone and – just like that – the problem corrects itself.

      Anyone over 40 today can remember something like this once existed. The average person rarely, if ever, had to deal with AGWs. There weren’t “checkpoints” – except in East Berlin – and the idea of “stop and frisk” would have been considered fascistic. Unless you committed a crime – i.e., stole, threw a brick through someone’s window, beat someone/raped/killed someone – and so on – you knew you could go through life without fear of AGWs. They concerned themselves with criminals – mostly. Rarely with ordinary people and when they did, it was generally much more like Andy Griffith than Neidermeyer (or SS Obsersturmfuhrer Skorzeny).

      I know – because I was there. I did not hallucinate it. The vanished America, the one in which cops didn’t “fear for their safety” and pull guns on motorists over a traffic infraction, or smash a window and drag them out of their car.

      But – like the pre-Internet world – more and more people have grown up in a world that assumes Hut! Hut! Hut! to be normal and reasonable.

      They are like the once-wild boars in the story…

      First, you put out a bucket of food in the woods. Let the boars eat.

      Next, build a single section of fence behind the bucket of food. The boars are wary at first, but eventually return, because they see no problem getting around the single section of fence. They are still free.

      Then build one more section of fence and plant it at a 90 degree angle to the first section, to make an “L”… give the boars time to get used to this. They can amble around the “L” to get to their food – and leave when sated. They are still free.

      Now ad another section – to create a three-sided enclosure. The boars are somewhat alarmed, but their hunger overcomes their reluctance and they go to the bucket.

      Now close the gate.

      Pork chops for supper.

  4. Thanks Eric; Anarchyst’s comments indeed hit it out of the park. These stories are happening more often than ever. It is past time, but not to late to end this criminal violence by AGW’s.
    Let’s keep in mind the Fact both military and their civilian police (paramilitary) real purpose is protecting the government from the people. The pretense of serve and protect is just to get you to agree to pay for your enslavement. I served 20 years military. Look at the world and America today without the niavity and you’ll agree. Those very few of what might be ‘good’ cops are only props for the false narrative of ‘serviving’.

  5. Just to update some facts here. I live outside of Houston. Today’s Houston Chronicle headline reads: 1,400 cases to be reviewed by authorities. These are all of Goines (the corrupt cop) prior busts.
    Initially all of the local and national coverage (a lot) was of the kind “hero cops wounded by heroin dealers.” One of whom was Goines himself, still in the hospital. The next day the Pravda style Chronicle claimed that “heroin” was the white powder found. The day after that they ran the truth, finally, that no heroin was found and only small personal use amounts of pot and coke were found. Uh oh. Of course the news reporting merely parroted the lying cops. But they did investigate and a week later admitted that no “informant” could be located nor anyone who ever bought heroin there. Neighbors also vouched for the victims. A day ago a huge crowd at a Town Hall meeting nearly lynched the Police Chief and local DA. Now the cops are openly discussing charging Goines the narc. Too bad he wasn’t himself killed. The police chief also now says that no-knock warrants will not be issued unless he personally signs off. Sad, but some reforms are being done after these tragic murders. This isn’t being covered up.

  6. That this shooting occurred at all is outrageous enough. That it was predicated by a perjured warrant is heinous, the man that wrote it should be charged as an accessory to homicide as well as perjury. That it was following by obvious evidence planting and the smearing of the reputation of the victims is horrifying. But what really got my blood raised to boiling is that the union chief of the Houston PD, after this came out, warned, on TV, that the critics of the police need to be “careful” before levying criticism, and that the police know WHO they are and WHERE THEY LIVE! How anyone can tolerate this thuggery by a sworn officer of the law is incomprehensible! Everyone, from that badged thug, to the Houston PD Chief, to the Mayor, should be run out!

    • Aren’t we told that any murder that happens during the commision of a crime is the fault of the persons perpetrating the crime? Is the swearing out of a false warrant a crime? If so, then the murders of these two people happened during the commission of a crime and those guilty of the crime (the police) are culpable.

      That this policeman is not being charged with murder is perhaps more of a travesty than the murders themselves.

          • Hi Antonio,

            “In most jurisdictions, to qualify as an underlying offense for a felony murder charge, the underlying offense must present a foreseeable danger to life, and the link between the offense and the death must not be too remote.”

            Since AGW’s are constantly stressing the danger to life involved with their job, then lying to allow a SWAT raid certainly meets “the foreseeable danger to life” standard.

            “The offender, and also the offender’s accomplices or co-conspirators, may be found guilty of murder.”

            Any participant in this raid with knowledge of the underlying crime is equally guilty under the felony murder rule.

            But, unless the prosecutor sees some political advantage in applying the law equally to these cops, none will be held to account.

            Cheers,
            Jeremy

              • Hi Vonu,

                I don’t understand your point. Two people are dead as the direct result of an underlying crime. Please explain what you mean (I’m not being snarky, I’m genuinely curious).

                Kind Regards,
                Jeremy

  7. When official “justice” produces an endless stream of BULLSHIT (such as letting sleazeball Gerald Goines skate by without a murder charge, just because he wears a government uniform), then of necessity genuine justice must be secured by other means.

    • Most such sleazeballs wear business suits rather than uniforms.
      People like John Bolton don’t even have to get warrants to murder innocents all over the world, for profit.
      They just let other business suit-wearing sleazeballs justify their crimes as self-defense.

  8. it is amazing after the one guy shot the hell out of the Houston cops killing a bunch of them then the female Houston cop shoots and kills (her bf) saying she went into the wrong apartment that the Houston cops learned nothing. they still want to kill when they feel like it and nothing happens to them. I like to know what these 3 events will cost taxpayers

    • The incident you seem to be referring to in your first sentence happened in Dallas, not Houston. Last year I think. That female cop shot her neighbor, not “bf” whatever that is. Didn’t know him but she entered late at night into the wrong apartment. The victim was black. She has been convicted of manslaughter and I’m sure a major financial settlement is in the offing.
      There will also be huge financial consequences to the Houston murders. But these two incidents happened in different cities for different reasons. One was a tragic accident by a perhaps trigger happy cop. The other the result of a corrupt narc using the no-knock warrant tactic.

  9. Another sad thing — some nobody actor making up a racist attack has gotten 1000 times more attention in the mainstream media than this case ever will. There hasn’t been a peep about it on any nightly network news programs, not that I have seen anyway.

    • Well, that and sometimes the cops DO need to use deadly force, and probably more often than they do. Trouble is that they use it on the wrong people too often.

      And the mainscream media makes a big stink about the times that deadly force is well justified.

  10. The whole thing is horrifying, but probably the worst thing I’ve heard about this is a claim that a SWAT goon shot Mr. Tuttle through a window as he was laying on the ground wounded. An “anchor shot” or “double-tap” — pure murder (of course, his wife was murdered also).

    Something like that could get a soldier in a war zone in trouble, but is “SOP” for police. Along with allowing their victims to bleed out, while the police-created crime scene is “secured.” I also heard that a neighbor’s CCTV security video was stolen by the police — maybe it captured this happening. If so,I think the video will be “lost”

    • Hi Sean,

      Amen. Anyone not sickened – and enraged – by this sort of thing is why this sort of thing continues to happen. It will not stop until enough of us demand it stop – and are prepared to take steps to assure that it does stop.

      First agenda item: The “safety” of AGWs should always take a back seat to that of citizens. We are told that AGWs are “heroes.” Well, real heroes put their lives at risk for the benefit of others. The current run of AGWs seem to be a weird admixture of bully and poltroon. Body-armored pussies.

      Second: Enough with the Hut! Hut! Hutting! over any non-violent/victimless “crime” – including possessing/selling/using arbitrarily illegal “drugs.” SWAT tactics should be deployed against Al Capone types only; not some guy and his wife dealing weed – or whatever. Guns drawn only after guns are first drawn by someone else.

      Three: AGW conduct held to a higher standard than the standard ordinary citizens are held to. AGWs, more than anyone except a judge or prosecuting/defense attorney – are obliged to know the goddamn law. I find it hallucinatory that AGWs are permitted to routinely display ignorance of the law, make up law and abuse the law – without any criminal sanction. An AGW caught not knowing/making up/abusing the law should be disqualified for life from ever “serving” as an AGW again, anywhere.

      Four: Any AGW who commits a crime under color of law should be held personally liable in any subsequent civil action. No more taxpayers on the hook for damages caused by an AGW.

      This is far from complete – but it’d be a damned good start.

        Here at the house, I have a couple of decades plus of military experience. I have tools to dig in or out of natural disasters. I have extinguishers and hoses. I have a field trauma kit and bandages. I have weapons both melee and firearm. I know how to use them. I know how to trench, support and revet. I understand the fire triangle and appropriate approaches. I understand breathing, bleeding and shock. I know how to detain, restrain and control. I have done all of these at least occasionally, professionally. I’ve stood on top of a collapsing levee in a flood. I’ve fought a structure fire from inside so we could get everyone out before the fire department showed up, which only took two minutes, but people can die that fast. I’ve had structures collapse while I was working on them. I’ve been in an aircraft that had a “mechanical” on approach and had to be repaired in-flight before landing. I’ve helped control a brush fire. I’ve hauled disabled vehicles out of ditches in sub-zero weather.

        My ex wife has over a decade of service and some of the same training.

        We have trained our young adult children.

        My wife is a rancher who knows her way around a shotgun, livestock, sutures and tools, hurricanes and floods, and works in investigations professionally.

        Our current houseguest is another veteran.

        This means if anything happens at the house–and last year we had a lightning strike, a tornado and a flood within 10 days–we’re pretty well prepared.

        Now, we’re probably better off than 95% of the households out there. The level of disaster that necessitates backup varies.

        If we find it necessary to call 911, it means the party is in progress and it’s bad.

        You will probably not be going home safe at the end of your shift.

        And you know what? If it gets to that point, I really don’t give a shit. I don’t give a shit if you get smoked. I don’t give a shit if you fall under a tree. I don’t give a shit if you get shot at.

        Because at that point, I’ve done everything I can with that same circumstance, and run out of resources.

        If my concern was “you going home safe,” then I’d just fucking hunker down and die. Because I wouldn’t want that poor responder to endanger himself.

        Except…that’s what I pay taxes for, and that’s what you signed up for. Just like I signed up to walk into a potential nuke war in Germany and hold off the Soviets, and did walk into the Middle East and prepare to take fire while keeping expensive equipment functioning so our shooters could keep shooting.

        There’s not a single set of orders I got that said my primary job was to “Come home safe.” They said it was to “support the mission” or “complete the objective.” Coming home safe was the ideal outcome, but entirely secondary to “supporting” or “completing.” Nor, once that started, did I get a choice to quit. Once in, all in.

        When that 80 year old lady smells smoke or hears a noise outside her first floor bedroom in the ghetto, she doesn’t care if you go home safe, either. She’s afraid she or the kids next door won’t wake up in the morning.

        If I call, I expect your ass to show up, sober, trained, professional. I expect you to wade in with me or in place of me, and drag a child out of a hole, or out from a burning room, or actually stand up and block bullets from hitting said child, because by the time you get there, I’ll have already done all that. And there will be field dressings, chainsawed trees, buckets and empty brass scattered about.

        I don’t want to hear some drunk and confused guy squirming on the ground playing “Simon Says” terrified you so much you had to blow him away. I don’t want to hear that some random guy 35 yards away who you had no actual information on “may have reached toward his waist band. Or that “the tree might fall any moment” or that “the smoke makes it hard to see.”

        Near as I can tell, I don’t hear the smokejumpers, or the firefighters, or the disaster rescue people say such things.

        But it’s all I ever hear from the cops. If you and your five girlfriends in body armor, with rifles, are that terrified of actually risking your life for the theoretically dangerous job you volunteered for and can quit any time, then please do quit.

        You can get a job doing pest control and go home safe every night.

        Until a bunch of fucking pussies with big tattoos, small dicks, body armor and guns blow you away for minding your own business.

        Because what you’re telling me with that statement is, your only concern is cashing a check. That’s fine. But if that’s your concern, don’t pretend you’re serving the public. If you wanted to help people at risk of life, you would be a firefighter, running into buildings, dragging people out, getting scorched regularly.

        If you’re cool with writing tickets, then there’s jobs where you can do just that.

        If you want to tangle with bad guys and blow them away, fair enough. But understand: That means they get to shoot first to prove their intent, just as happens with the military these days. Our ROE these days are usually “only if fired upon and no civilians are at risk.”

        If your plan is “shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more, then if anyone is still alive try to ask questions,” and bleat, “But I was afeard fer mah lahf!” you’re absolutely no better than the thugs you claim to oppose. All you are is another combatant in a turf war I don’t care about.

        Since I know your primary concern is “being safe,” then I’ll do you the favor of not calling. Cash your welfare check, and try not to shoot me at a “courtesy” sobriety checkpoint for twitching my eye “in a way that suggested range estimation.”

        If you’re one of the vanishingly few cops who isn’t like that, then what the hell are you doing about it? If there’s going to be a lawsuit costing the city millions, isn’t it better that it be a labor suit from the union over the clown you fired, than a wrongful death suit over the poor bastard the clown shot? Both are expensive, but one has a dead victim you enabled. So how much do you actually care about that life?

        How is the training so bad that it’s not clear who is the scene commander who gives the orders?

        How is it that trigger happy bozos who, out of costume, look no different from the gangbangers you claim to oppose, get sent up front to fulfill their wish of hosing someone down because “I was afraid for my life!”?

        Why does the rot exist in your department?

        If you can’t do anything about it, why are you still in that department?

        At some point, collective guilt is a thing.

        You’ve probably not been a good cop for a long time.

        And I still don’t care if you go home safe. I care that everyone you purport to “serve and protect” goes home safe.

        • Damn…. That is perhaps the best rant I have read in a long time, and I mean that in an admiring way. Yes, what do you call heroes who put their own safety as the primary concern? Not heroes.

        • These victims of the Houston PD’s belligerence and gross incompetence were HOME…minding their OWN BUSINESS…harming no one…so they THOUGHT they were safe…but they were tragically wrong through no fault of their own!

    • “Something like that could get a soldier in a war zone in trouble, but is “SOP” for police. ”

      True. My kid was deployed and came back and said that they’d get court-martialed for doing to the hajis what cops do to “citizens” here.

      In fact… in Afghanistan and Iraq, households are allowed to have an AK-47 and a 30-rd mag for self-protection … but not in NY or LA or Chicago or D.C. or a number of other places where the Second Amendment supposedly protects “our freedom”!!!!

      Not to mention the fact that Afghanistan is full of poppy fields which are the source of opium and heroin, but cops here will murder you in cold blood for having a marijuana plant in your basement….

      • Iraq was the same as far as owning weapons. in fact you could go to a fair and come back with a tank artillery piece whatever if you had the money. we went there to spread freedom and took their guns away. our 2nd amendment is hanging by a thread and the only way to save it is to use it

    • It is likely that the cops “planted” the drugs in order to “justify” the invasion. The Boston police department has been caught planting drugs on suspects.
      It would not surprise me if police academy training included the covert suggestion that police officers ALWAYS carry a “throw-down” weapon (as they presently do) and a small amount of (illegal) drugs in order to “sanitize” a questionable scene.

      • I noticed how often someone with a clean record SOMEHOW manages to have a small amount of ‘contraband’ whenever one of these AGW screwups happens. I guess we’re all ‘convicts’ now and at the mercy of the “Screws”.

  11. When I watched the video or read the report a few days ago I seem to recall that drugs were found.
    True?
    Planted? I’d lean toward that given the source of the warrant.
    What is the history of the couple?
    Matters not in this case but inquiring minds, who want the entire story, want to know.

    Brutis

    • Cocaine an marijuana were supposedly “found.” Assuming that those substances were actually possessed by the homeowners and not planted by the cops, this incident is still a blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment:

      “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, HOUSES, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, SHALL NOT be violated, and NO Warrants shall issue, BUT upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and PARTICULARLY DESCRIBING the place to be searched, and the persons or THINGS to be seized.”

      The warrant said “heroin.” The cops swore out an oath in court saying “heroin.” But they admit they found no heroin. The warrant was based on lies. The allegation that cocaine and marijuana were found, whether real or fabricated, is a blatant attempt to retroactively justify the actions of the cops and slander the decedents, who cannot defend themselves against this allegation because they’re DEAD.

  12. Forgive me for asking, but what does AGW mean?
    And Hut! Hut! Hutting!

    I just want to make sure I get the lingo to fully appreciate the article.

    • Armed Government “Workers”. (I take issue with the “Workers” part of the acronym since Workers actually produce something of value. Government employees are parasites.)

    • Hi SB,

      AGW stands for armed government worker. Hut! Hut! Hutting! evokes the football command uttered at the beginning of a play designed to defeat the defense of the other team. It also evokes the military term “ten-hut”, which highlights the similarity between modern police tactics and the military.

      Eric, I apologize if I have misinterpreted your meaning.

      Cheers,
      Jeremy

      • Also, in the 1990’s cartoon, “Rocko’s Modern Life” (when animation ROCKED!), a frequent gag is a pair of hype-active beavers, usually paramedics carrying a stretcher, chanting, “Hut! Hut! Hut!” as they go about their job in robotic fashion…at one time, “rescuing” a ‘downed’ fish and carrying it away on their stretcher…and then at least depositing it on a grill and squeezing a lemon over it. (and yes, I remember the LedZep song, this cartoon was infamous for double-entendres and “getting crap past the radar”!)

    • Hi SB,

      “AGW” = armed government worker. It’s a term I coined in the interests of editorial honesty as well as to convey the banality of these armed bureaucrats and to separate them as much as possible from the concept of peace keeping, which is at best something they do incidentally.

      “Hut Hut! Hut!” isn’t my invention. It was inspired by the mocking of overzealous AGWs in the classic movie, The Blues Brothers. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atks5rRqQkg

      • Ah, The Blues Brothers! Now THAT was a good movie. I laughed my ass off after I watched. Plus, there was some good music in it too… 🙂

          • Eric I wish the sawt guys were in the aryan brotherhood cause they would have not gone to a white couples house and killed them. eric what is going on here? I have to give my name and email for every comment. never did that before

            • Amen, Doug.

              And (as you know) the Waffen SS at least were not poltroons – as AGWs seem congenitally to be. Always fearing for their “safety.”

              The Waffen SS, on the other hand, was known for fanatical bravery in the face of harrowing odds. This isn’t to say I approve of the Waffen SS – and it’s a sad barometer of our situation that such a caveat is even necessary – only that I respect their tenacity and – yes – courage.

              AGW “heroes,” on the other hand…

      • AGW may refer to:

        Anthropogenic global warming, the mostly-human caused warming of earth’s climate system now underway, and its related effects

        • It is a good idea to always distinguish AGW from CAGW, “catastrophic anthropogenic global warming”. Almost anyone will admit that humans have SOME effect ( 1 degree? 0.1 degree? 0.001 degree?) on climate. All that water being used to keep the golf courses green in Arizona has SOME effect, certainly at least locally. The real problem is that some people believe (mistakenly, in my opinion) that we humans are having a catastrophic effect. That supposed catastrophic effect is the justification for ever increasing control and loss of freedom.

          • There are far more acres of agricultural crops being watered in Arizona than there are gold courses to be watered. That doesn’t even begin to list the mass of front and back yard acreage.

          • Recent research from Australia indicates that shorter, hotter, drier summers with more wildfires may be a feature of global COOLING.

      • Yeah! Ol’ “Joliet” Jake and Elwood!

        What’s amazing and chillingly predictive is the scene where the Blues Brothers make the tax payment at the Cook County Recorder’s office (the clerk being played by John Landis himself), and as they take the receipt, they’re cuffed…with about FIFTY rifles and shotguns and sidearms trained on them from point-blank range! Even then, it was at least comically observed that cops tend to be like bloodhounds on a fox hunt as the quarry is pursued and cornered…

        Now life has imitated art…and the result is tragic rather than comedic…

  13. The Wrath of the Saxon has been awakening and building. When it erupts and is directed at (((them))) and their lackeys, (Politicians, bankers, AGW’s and the like,) it will be like the yellow vests in France, but on steroids and with deadly force. It keeps me getting up everyday, looking forward to the upcoming fireworks. Stack your popcorn, it is going to be Show!!!

    • Don’t forget the wrath that has been awakening and building that will be directed against ((((them)))). Stack your popcorn, it’s going to be Show! (Four parens of course referring to imbeciles with their heads up their asses such as yourself.)

    • So how many of your codewords refer to the Jews because you’re afraid to show what kind of a person you really are?

      Racism – of all forms – is a lazy substitute for actual thought. You can’t be a racist and an individualist at the same time.

        • Ah, another one of ((((them)))) crawls out from under his rock. Of course ((((they)))) have every right to be as idiotic as ((((they)))) like. Just as the rest of us have every right to point out the depths of ((((their)))) ignorance and stupidity.

          • Hi Jason,

            The current obsession with race, on the right and the left, seems to promoted by the elite class for the purpose of creating conflict. After all, if the people discover that most of us share a common enemy, we may put aside petty differences and attack that enemy.

            The apparent rise of racism on the alt-right (while still insignificant) is likely a reaction to the ever changing goalposts as to what qualifies as racism. Any libertarian discussion of racism needs to start with definitions. It is also important to distinguish what I call benign racism from virulent racism. The first is just the demonstrated, near universal, preference for associating with one’s own kind. The second is the willingness to use, or delegate the use of, violence for the purpose of damaging a particular racial group.

            In today’s cultural climate, the first is not only tolerated, but celebrated, among all non-whites; only whites are condemned for such expression. I suspect that this glaring double standard is largely responsible for the rise of virulent racism, such as it is, among the alt-right. Racists, of the virulent type, are rare and powerless in America today. The threat they pose to liberty is not that they are likely to gain political power and create an “ethno-state”, but that they will push more people toward the views of the fanatical left, which does seek to undermine the values most conducive to human flourishing. The anti-racist left is far more dangerous and powerful than the few truly virulent racists that exist in America today. Ironically, the policies of the fanatical left have, and will continue to, produce far more harm to minorities than the culture they despise.

            Kind Regards,
            Jeremy

            • I wish this comment section had a like button just for this post.

              That’s something I’ve thought about before – I honestly do not understand what the radical left wants when it comes to “not being racist”. Interpersonal relationships don’t get forced just because they’re “diverse” and if they did I’d have no problem calling that insincere and patronizing. People need something to bond over. When friendships stretch across racial lines it is usually because those involved have some other common experience they share, such as (in my case) the daily despair of working in a burger joint where incompetent management and complete dissociation from observable reality were basically SOP.

              • Hi Chuck,

                “People need something to bond over. When friendships stretch across racial lines it is usually because those involved have some other common experience…”

                So true, one of my oldest friends and the best man at my wedding bonded with me over our shared interest in the early 80’s Detroit punk and ska scene. We attended the same high school but didn’t hang out until we met at a boring party. He asked me if I knew of a better one and I said yes. I took him to hang with my group of friends (from a different school) and he quickly bonded with us and became part of our “tribe”.

                Race is often just a proxy for this universal human need.

                Cheers,
                Jeremy

            • You got it 100% right, a great analysis.

              My problem with so many members of the multiple parens “((()))” crowd is that when you scratch the surface in my experience most of them want to expand the power of the State to forcibly remove the people they disapprove of due to their ethnic background – whether it’s Jews, Blacks, Hispanics, or whatever. Needless to say this is completely abhorrent to libertarian philosophy.

        • The term “racism” was invented by communists, and is used to destroy cultures and defuse (and render impotent) those with differing points-of-view on “racial” issues.

          True “racism” is desirable as it merely cements cultural and social bonds that are necessary for a society to function and flourish.

          True “racism” merely denotes commonality of purpose and advancement within each respective racial group.

          Blacks have the NAACP and Congressional Black Caucus, Hispanics have La Raza and Mecha, Jews have the $PLC, ACLU and ADL. These are all “racist” organizations that serve to promote the interests (and political power) of their respective races.

          It is only whites who are castigated and threatened for attempting to show any signs of racial solidarity.

          Let’s look at what us “evil, privileged” whites have done for Western society and the world:

          1. “Civil-rights (for some)” laws (that effectively destroy “freedom of association” for whites, but not for other races) and do not apply to whites–only “people of color” are covered by these so-called “civil-rights (for some)” protections.

          2. “Affirmative action” policies (that push better qualified whites out of positions and jobs that they would ordinarily qualify for) in favor of lesser-qualified minorities. In fact, “affirmative action” policies actually damage those minorities who are quite capable of “making it on their own” because they get “lumped in” with the groups that cannot make it on their own without “help”,

          3. “Contract set-asides” (that are specifically targeted for minorities (that white people are prohibited from bidding on) and immigration policies (that specifically exclude whites, most of who have skills that would benefit the USA) in favor of those from the third-world (with no marketable skills).

          4. Scholarships that specify particular ethnic groups are looked upon favorably by most people, save one–scholarships that are intended for whites only are looked upon as being “racist”, and therefore impermissible and improper in today’s racially-charged climate of “political correctness”.

          NO OTHER RACE (BUT WHITES) HAS (EVER) BENT OVER BACKWARDS to assure that all non-white races receive a “fair shake” in being a part of American life, even to the detriment and social well-being of “our own kind” (whites).

          Whites possess an externalized altruism that no other races possesses. This externalized altruism that “looks out for the other guy” will be the demise of the white race. This altruism needs to be internalized and focused inward, just as other races have done. There is NO SHAME in looking out for one’s own kind.

          I blame those of the “greatest generation” for selling out our birthright with the passage of the “Civil-Rights Acts” of 1957 and 1964, and the “Hart-Cellar immigration act of 1965”. To those of the “greatest generation” (who are still alive) thanks for NOTHING…

          Let’s not forget that “freedom of association” (but only affecting the white majority) was eviscerated by the enacting of these clearly unconstitutional acts.

          As whites comprise only 6% of the world population, it is us whites who should be the most protected and cherished of minorities…

          “Multiculturalism” and “diversity” are code-words for white genocide.

          • The “civil rights act” was nothing more than a typical more government solution to a problem of too much government.

            The racists used government to force their practice of racism on to everyone. Why? Because racism has economic costs. Passing up customers being one of the big ones. So government was used to force everyone to practice it.

            Instead of knocking government back down several pegs government was built up further to solve the problem of intrusive government.

          • Another item a lot of this stuff mentioned like affirmative action, scholarships, etc is designed to grade some people, usually the more productive/capable/skilled/etc to a higher standard so they have difficulty advancing. I am not sure of its origins at this point but it has infected schools, government, and corporations.

            The only place I can find this outside of institutional life is dating. That is it seems to be female selection technique. I am wondering if it moved into the institutions when women started having more power within them. The absolute scale is put aside for this challenging yourself nonsense. It doesn’t seem that existed before then. People weren’t graded on this curve of their own ability and achievement.

            I suppose the driving analogy is DUI. If you’re a very good driver say 90% on a scale of 100 and you’re a hair down because of alcohol consumption, say 85%, you’re “impaired” but a crappy driver who’s only 20% who is sober at his full 20% is acceptable. Even if he’s at 5% because of health issues or whatever, that’s fine too.

          • No matter where the term “racism” originated it refers to a philosophy where a person is judged by his or her ethnic background rather than his individual character. This is wrong whether it is done by blacks, whites, or anyone else. It is hard to see how someone can claim to be a libertarian and championing individual rights if one is going to classify others into groups and prejudge them based on membership in those groups.

            The genetic differences between the races are minimal. The differences are primarily cultural, with those cultural characteristics being driven by environment. There is nothing particularly special about the white race, or for that matter the black race, the oriental race, or any other race. All share the same human drives and foibles.

            History puts the lie to your assertion that whites have “bent over backwards” to see that “all non-white races receive a fair shake” – that is bullshit of the highest order. See slavery, Jim Crow laws, lynchings, the Trail of Tears, National Socialism, and numerous other examples of whites treating other races as inferior/subhuman to be exploited or eradicated.

            • One cannot, and should not compare past practices with the situation today. Doing so is both historically and educationally dishonest.
              “Racism” is merely freedom to exercise true “freedom of association”…
              It’s apparent that your reading comprehension needs improvement. the so-called civil-rights acts WERE forced down white peoples’ throats at the point of federal troops with bayonets. Slavery, Jim Crow, lynchings were already past history when the civil-rights acts were enacted. This usurpation of federal power eliminated “freedom of association” but only for whites. Every other racial group is free to discriminate.
              It is interesting to note that the black nuclear family was intact until after Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” programs were enacted.

              • Freedom of association is of course a fundamental liberty and I am against forced “diversity”. However your definition of “racism” is sorely limited. It actually contains within it the practice of institutionalized discrimination and marginalization of individuals simply due to their ethnic background. I do not see how anyone can claim to be in favor of individual liberty while supporting that kind of blanket, broad-based discrimination.

                To say though that racial discrimination was a thing of the past when civil rights acts were enacted in the 1960s is simply not true. The violence even rose to the level of murdering 3 civil rights workers in 1964. (It’s not just something I read in history books. I’m old enough to have lived through it.)

                As far as I am concerned an individual is free to associate or not associate with others as he or she sees fit, but institutionalized racial discrimination is another matter entirely.

                I would agree that now the “civil rights” movement has moved beyond the goal of equal treatment and has moved into the territory of “get whitey” and discrimination against whites. Ridiculous and just as unacceptable as Jim Crow was.

                • I also meant to add that the global elites are laughing their asses off as different ethnic groups go after each other and ignore the common enemy that’s robbing and enslaving them all. While the coloreds rage against the whites and the whites rage against the coloreds and they all rage against the jews, those that have no fealty to anything beyond stealing more for themselves and leaving less for everyone else consolidate their power. It’s the old divide and conquer strategy.

                  • Hi Jason,

                    Yes – and this is precisely why “diversity” is not “our strength.” Read that bastard Boaz. The idea of “racism” is just another mechanism for exerting control.

                    “Racism” is a non-issue, or a minor issue, in countries with largely homogenous populations. See Japan, for example. Because Japan is still almost entirely Japanese, the Japanese people can focus on their common problems – as opposed to us here in America (and decaying, self-mortifying Western Europe).

                    This has nothing to do with “racism” in the sense intended by those who thunderbolt this word at those they wish to control. As in: Wishing to harm those of different racial/ethnic backgrounds.

                    What these “racism” screamers are really going after is free association – because if people are free to associate or not, then they are free.

                • As long as segregation is voluntary and not mandated by law, there should be no problem with it. In fact, there are black college students who want to have their own segregated dorms. Let them have them…the white pro-civil-rights crowd is aghast that blacks would want their own institutions and facilities. THAT is true “freedom of association”.

      • Connecting the dots requires actual thought, something you lazy SJW drones leave to your (((masters))).

        http ://balder. org/judea/Hate-Speech-Laws-Immigration-Jewish-Influence-USA.php

        • It is quite obvious that ((((you)))) do not have an actual thought in ((((your)))) head. If (((they))) have become ((((your)))) masters, just what does that say about ((((you)))), boy?

      • Racism CAN sometimes be a “lazy substitute for actual thought.” But not always.

        When the evidence clearly indicates that elected politicians of a particular ethno/religious group in America are more dedicated to a foreign nation than they are to their own country, it’s not “racism” to state the obvious:

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh8rpFTVBuM

          • It would not surprise me if the ((((racist twits)))) that surface here are statists whose actual purpose is to make libertarians look bad. The American Left in particular likes to paint anyone who opposes them with a broad “Racist/Nazi” brush and ((((those guys)))) are providing the ammunition to marginalize and undermine libertarians.

            • True libertarians do themselves a major disservice when they insist on positioning themselves on the left-right spectrum when libertarianism is not on that spectrum. I distrust anyone who calls themselves a liberal-libertarian or a conservative-libertarian, that being on the way to being an anarchist-totalitarian.

              • Correct. The left/right liberal/conservative dichotomy is little more than a description of different approaches to stealing liberty and property, and imposing slavery on individuals.

                • Which is why all true libertarians should do their best to avoid it, if not also promoting the Diamond Chart where libertarianism resides at the top of both economic and personal freedoms. The best way to promote the Diamond Chart is to promote The World’s Smallest Political Quiz which can be taken at
                  http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz/

                  • You think the American political spectrum is bad, try the European one on for size. Left, right, and center are all some kind of authoritarian nanny/welfare/police state. If you’re “left” of center you’re a socialist or communist and if you’re “right” of center you’re a fascist or Nazi. True freedom, fiscal responsibility, and sanity in general do not exist on this spectrum but are lumped in with the Nazis anyway for reasons of narrative convenience, because otherwise people might realize that they really like those ideas.

                    • The political spectrum is the same in every country, the tyrants just use different labels for those they use as a distraction. I have been off of the left-right spectrum since the 80’s, and since libertarians are slowly drifting onto it, I’m back to being politically homeless aside from ideals.

              • I envision the liberal/conservative/libertarian relation to be a capital letter Y: the left fork is liberal, the right fork is conservative, and the stem pointing the complete opposite direction is libertarian.

                Of course that analogy totally ignores that it is perfectly reasonable to espouse viewpoints on different issues from different forks.

                • Libertarians respect all of the individual’s personal and economic rights. Liberals respect the personal ones and disdain the economic ones. Conservatives respect the economic rights while disdaining the personal ones.
                  The capital Y doesn’t seem to have a place for the authoritarian totalitarianism that is coming to the fore across the world.

            • Hi Jason,

              Yup. Regulars here know I’ve been accused of raaaaaaaaaaacism on several occasions… for objecting to racial (and sex-based) bean-counting and “identity” politics. Hilarious – but also depressing.

              • eric, GM knows you’re a sorry SOB, outing them for hiring practices to fulfill quotas…..regardless of the ability of the hiree. You a bad guy…..and they know it. I can only hope their huge bidness, the real money-maker for them now, the Chinese military machine, bites them in the ass and everywhere else.

                Corporotacracy has even had the likes of Johnson and Johnson charged by the SEC. That’s what happens when you aren’t paying off the proper bureaucrats.

                BTW, I hope everybody is signing the “Audit the Fed” bill that’s circulating now. Just go to Ron Paul’s website.

          • Zionism is based on racism. Israel uses DNA tests for citizenship to determine who is a Member of the Tribe and who may, or may not, migrate to the Promised Land.

            If the U.S. starting using DNA tests to determine who is European enough to qualify for American citizenship, the defenders of Israel would be the ones screaming the loudest — just as they are screaming the loudest about building a wall on America’s border… while taking $4 billion a year in U.S. money to build a wall on Israel’s border.

            • Israel is just another authoritarian police state. They don’t even have a prohibition against ex post facto laws. If their ruling thugs don’t like what you’re doing they can and will pass a law retroactively and persecute you for violating it before it was passed. We certainly should not be sending them financial aid. (Or anyone else for that matter.)

              If there are people who believe that Israel (or any other country) needs financial support they should do it themselves using their own personal resources. They have no business forcing their neighbors to do so at gunpoint.

  14. I’ve half a mind to retrofit my home with steel plate behind the exterior sheathing, replace all windows with hurricane grade windows and steel door/frames in order to slow down home invaders of any sort.

      • Freedom, quite the moniker to quote half-ass laws. There are laws against “secret compartments” in your car too…..no matter if they are there from the factory. I like the idea of steel walls, doors and everything else. I guess the typical Mexico home made of foot thick concrete and steel doors is over the top….unless you’re worth a great deal of money, hence power. Freedom, the very thing Americans no longer have.

  15. Most states follow some version of the felony-murder doctrine. In its most Draconian form anyone who commits any felony is guilty of murder if anyone dies for any reason “as a result of” the felony. The classic case is an armed robbery where the victim shoots at the robber but kills a third party: robber guilty of murder.

    Entrepreneurial cops never have any trouble finding felony charges for uppity normies who refuse to cooperate. Isn’t knowingly lying to a judge and to your fellow AGWs a clear failure to respect authority and hence worse than any violation of man’s “laws”?

  16. The “thin blue line” will protect its own. There may be a “grand jury” but a reluctant prosecutor will encourage the grand jury to “no bill” the officers involved and the crimes committed will “go away”. If, by chance, the officers are charged, uniformed police officers will pack the courtroom to insure that jurors “vote to acquit”. It happens all the time…
    What needs to happen is the whole police department has to be “doxxed” with names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of all of the officers published. If I had my way, they would be totally shunned–no one should do business with them or their families. When they have to explain to their families why no one wants anything to do with them, there might be changes…

    • In some cases, plains-clothes cops are in the court room, and the jurors find themselves at times being “escorted” by “squid cars” as they leave the juror parking lot. Of course, the POLICE have no problem finding out who’s empaneled on that jury and who’s the foreperson. Even in trying Al Capone the judge managed to switch juries and keep “Scarface” from exercising his usual powers of ‘persuasion’.

  17. More white people murdered by cops and the national media can’t be bothered to make a big deal out of it.

    I guess White Houstonians should go out and burn down their neighborhoods, or something else …?

    • They were mundanes…e.g., just “‘po white TRASH out there in flyover country”.

      Now, if one of the Hollywood elite or one of the “protected” class gets killed by AGW incompetence or abuse, then it’s all hell breaking loose! Worth rioting and burning, and all manner of sob-sistering and breast-beating, huh?

  18. More I read of the abuse of power, the angrier I get

    Something has to be done to stop, because sooner or later, we’ll do something “Suspicious” or “Criminal” (aka ‘Speeding’ or wrong place at the wrong time) and if we’re unlucky, we’ll be dealing with a vicious boar

    • Maybe we could reactivate the militia that we should never have let the federal government nationalize.
      We the People grossly outnumber and outgun these professional murderers. It is time for us to take them down. Unfortunately those who invaded foreign countries unconstitutionally and with malice of forethought can’t be counted on to do their jobs at home.

      • That’s one thing I admire about Switzerland. They do have a strong Federal military, and compulsory military service for young men. After their initial service commitment, usually about 18 months, they’re in the reserves for about twenty years. What’s interesting is that they take their issued personal arms (at one time a Steyr AUG, a weapon, BTW, forbidden in CA) HOME with them as THEIR personal property, and are issued ammo, being replenished when they drill. Switzerland understands that the military power ultimately rests with the citizenry at large, which has been forgotten here. I also note that not even the Nazis ever seriously contemplated tangling with them.
