TZP Column: The 2A Is Nonsense?


“ALL THAT NONSENSE ABOUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT”
Lefty Russ Baker says it’s time to get rid of America’s guns. And that pesky Second Amendment isn’t a problem. If he’s trying to climb out of his recent obscurity, he didn’t think it through. His solution?

Just ignore it.

“…the funniest video known to man.”

Yeah, just might be.

VIDEO (1 min, 24 sec).

I’ve watched it a couple of times and I still can’t decide if it’s real or staged. I mean… it has every possible comedic element. But life is pretty strange.

Probably Put An End To That Career In Crime

Convenience store robbery down in Flagler County, Florida. He made the mistake of fleeing north on I-95 to Georgia.

𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 – 𝗙𝘂𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗮 — 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗮 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗸

He made it into Camden County, where the Kingsland cops spike-stripped him. I’m guessing right at exit 1. He then took off on foot to another convenience store, where he stole the clerk’s car keys and attempted to continue his run.

Sadly for him, the idiot managed to drive into the store. So he tried chasing the clerk and a customer.

Bad news — for him: the clerk had retrieved his own gun by then.

Shot the idiot eight times.

“I also commend the Georgia store clerk that put a swift end to this dirtbag’s crime spree. If he survives his injuries, he should spend a long time in prison.”

Heh. They would’ve taken him to Southeast Georgia Health. Based on my experience with that one, I wouldn’t make book on his survival. But more than likely the life-flighted hi to UF Health, where he might have a chance.

Unless they took him to the Brunswick SGHS campus, in which case he’s probably already dead.

At this time, it is unknown why the suspect was in Flagler County.

Probably because he knew he’d already pushed his luck in Georgia, and knew he get shot here.

And he did.

“Texas” Man Kills Five

So CBS would have us believe.

5 killed in Texas shooting, including 8-year-old child; manhunt underway for suspect
UPDATED ON: APRIL 29, 2023 / 1:01 PM / AP\A Texas man went next door with a rifle and began shooting his neighbors, killing an 8-year-old and four others inside the house, after the family asked him to stop firing rounds in his yard because they were trying to sleep, authorities said Saturday.

An unidentified Texas man, eh? How, because for hours, I’ve seen other outlets ID’g the alleged perp. Case in point:

Update: Mexican National Accused of Gunning Down Five People in Texas Identified – Police Say Suspect was Drunk</a
Apr. 29, 2023 12:05 pm
The good news is police have identified the man allegedly responsible for the deaths of the five people. His name is Francisco Oropeza, a 39-year-old Mexican national.

Oh. A Mexican national, not a Texas man after all. And according to OAN (at 7:48 AM), he’s using a Mexican consular card as ID.

Do nore the timestamps for those stories. CBS had to ignore things known to other outlets for hours, just to pretend it’s a “Texas man.”

Hint: Mexican consulates typically issue the matrícula consula to Mexican nationals who are in the US illegally, just so they’ve got some sort of ID.

The card is extremely popular for Mexicans in the United States without other ID. Lack of identification is one of many reasons why undocumented immigrants do not use banks. It’s a way for the Mexican government to keep track of its citizens for consular and tax purposes, collect data on them, and provide identification.

When the anti-gun types start screeching over this shooting and demanding more gun control, please point out the likelihood that the shooter was an illegal, and thus prohibited from lawfully possessing a firearm.

(g)It shall be unlawful for any person—
(5)who, being an alien—
(A)is illegally or unlawfully in the United States; or
to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

I Confess, That Never Happened To Me…

In the US, anyway.

Traffic Stops, Crowd Of 300 Gathers To Watch Herd Of 2,500 Sheep Cross Idaho Highway
Hundreds of people were stopped in their tracks Sunday to lay eyes on a herd of approximately 2,500 sheep cutting through an Idaho highway.

While roughly 300 standing spectators sought to see the sea of sheep voluntarily, a handful of drivers on the state highway were unwittingly subject to traffic backups along Idaho’s Highway 55, according to KTVB.

Leastways, sheep. Cattle and bison occasionally. Not sheep. Guess I was just never in Idaho at the right time of year.

But in Greece and Turkey, stopping for herds of sheep or goats was a pretty regular thing. No one sweated it; it just was.

Been There, Done That

As seen at Knuckledraggin.

Yep. At FairPoint, before they went under.

Facilities sent out a mass email saying they were going to replace bad flourescent tubes, and asking for locations that needed attention. The morons used all the NOC emails — hundreds — in the “TO:” field instead of BCC’g. As people replied, they all hit “reply all.” Then people hit reply all to them pointing out their own error, and telling about what tubes over their cube needed replacing.

Then idiots were asking how the tubes would be replaced, and all kinds of other stupid shit. And garned more reply alls. Then company network started bogging down.

At which point… I hit reply all (deliberately) and asked for folks to please remove my address before they send their next round of dumbass lightbulb queries and discussion. And said this was starting to sound like a bad “how many blondes does it take to change a lighbulb” joke.

Yep, that got me dragged into HR and “counseled.”

I have a suspicion who bitched, and yeah, she was a blonde. And one of the most useless “workers” in Broadband.

TZP Column: Belling The Cat


CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
Twit “Ballin” has answered the question of who will volunteer to bell the confiscation cat; kick in doors and grab the guns.

He will. Just as soon as the Second Amendment is “banned.” This was a reply to Creepy Uncle Gropey’s Twitter announcement* that he’s running for pseudo-reelection.

“Unruly”

I saw this headline in the Faux Snooze feed.

Atlanta police shoots unruly man near Greyhound bus station

Just on the basis of that headline, I made a mental bet with myself.

First, that it would be an Associated Press report.

Yep.

Second, that AP’s idea of “unruly” would be a little different than yours or mine.

Officers approached the man and he pulled out a handgun and fired at them.

So… do you think I won my bet?

TZP Column: Bad News For The Rust “Armorer”


YET ANOTHER INTERESTING BALDWIN/RUST SHOOTING DEVELOPMENT
You may recall that I’ve been wondering how a live round ever made it onto the Rust set.
[…]
We may have a better idea of who that was, now. Armorer Gutierrez-Reed had tried suggesting the company that supplied blanks had mixed the live rounds in with the right stuff. The forensic examination of components strongly suggested otherwise. Then there was the report that she had retrieved the gun after the shooting, before the police arrived, and removed the spent case. That’s odd,and sounds rather like tampering with evidence.
