Sorry to inform you: I just got a call from the Grammar Police: You are not allowed to use the words "Love" and "TSA" in the same sentence. You are now on THE LIST. Draw your drapes so the drones can not see your movements.

That's a lot of stuff - I mean, that's really a lot of stuff -- Is it from the estate of someone on this forum?

At some point, you'll want the skill, equipment and other logistics to 'roll your own.' Reloading really keeps the costs down and is a SHTF life-skill. Semper Fi and Oo-Rah.

There you go. And a lot of cops are what? . . . Entry level, Basic Level EMTs??

Beg to differ. Washed out video, perhaps on purpose. A lot of white concrete and bright sunshine. Picture on Drudge of one man shows otherwise. I'm still calling "probably" on the black-on-black aspect. And, again, this is at the peak of Urban Week/Hip Hop Week and that's a "certainly." And, again, if it were a "Republican", it would say so in the first paragraph. And, if it were a "white man", it would say so in the first paragraph. So, we don't know for sure, but all signs point to. Have a nice day!

The news reports do not cite race for either the victim or the perpetrator, therefore it is probably black-on-black violence. Any other combination of race and it would be noted in the first paragraph. Is this the beginning of the Hip Hop Festival week in that area? (And after a quick search, the answer is "yes."): As Hip-Hop Devotees Come in, Many Miami Beach Residents Prepare to Leave By LIZETTE ALVAREZ Published: May 25, 2012 MIAMI BEACH — This small city is accustomed to big events. But every Urban Beach Week, residents and businesses take in a collective deep breath and do not exhale until it’s over. Since 2001, hundreds of thousands of young hip-hop devotees from around the country have descended on the South Beach neighborhood for Memorial Day weekend to hear some of country’s leading artists and D.J.’s. As the visitors converge, a reverse migration ensues: Rresidents, beaten down by the traffic and chaos of the event, hop in their cars en masse and head to the mainland for a few days. “There is no other weekend of group activity that causes the mayhem that this weekend causes,†said Scott Diffenderfer, a Miami Beach resident and real estate broker. During its best-behaved years, Memorial Day weekend goes relatively smoothly here; 200,000 to 300,000 visitors pour into private clubs to hear performers like Flo Rida and Twista and gather on the streets to hang out. On its worst years, fights break out, punctuated by bursts of gunfire and stampedes. Last year, the police fired more than 100 bullets at the driver of a car they claimed was armed, killing him and injuring four bystanders. By weekend’s end, 431 people had been arrested, 56 more than in 2010. Billed by promoters and social media as a weekend of hip-hop revelry, the loosely organized event draws a mostly black crowd. The city does not sponsor the event and there is no one organizer; instead, it is a weekend of rolling performances in private venues that make events difficult to control. After last year’s shooting and the outrage that followed, leaders toyed with the idea of cutting back drinking hours or imposing a curfew; both were deemed unworkable. Plans to make it a city-sanctioned organized event fizzled. Instead, the city and the Police Department are stepping up law enforcement this year and taking a tougher stance on minor infractions. The police are putting up more watch towers to observe Ocean Drive, closing lanes on the causeways leading to Miami Beach and using license plate readers to check for outstanding warrants, stolen cars and suspended licenses. The idea is to stop the offenders before they arrive on South Beach. Nearly 600 officers will be working; plans call for one on every corner. “This year we can’t give many breaks to people because we can’t let the problem get bigger†said Sgt. Bobby Hernandez, spokesman for the Miami Beach police. City leaders said that the violence is not fueled by race but by the size of the crowd, its youth, and a contingent of South Florida criminals who make a yearly pilgrimage. The police said that most of the arrests are of local men who drive in, not fly. Their presence spurs others to bring guns for protection. But Ed Tobin, a Miami Beach city commissioner, said that “90 percent of the people are coming here to have fun.†Luther Campbell, a record label owner and a columnist for Miami New Times who grew up on Miami Beach and is critical of the event, said the city should change the reputation of the weekend by creating a festival with food tastings and performers like Mary J. Blige. Instead, he said, they take in the revenue from the 300,000 who come to watch gangsta rappers perform in clubs that can accommodate only a tiny slice of the visitors and then must “create a police state†to deal with the crowd. The mayor of Miami Beach and several city commissioners did not return phone calls to comment. With the exception of several nightclubs and limousine companies, many business owners on South Beach gird themselves for the event. A few are shutting down altogether this year; others are making changes. Jerry’s Famous Deli, a 24-hour restaurant, is opening only at night, with a limited menu and a cover charge for alcohol. This will bring in enough money to pay for security. Last year a melee broke out, and employees hustled out the knife-wielding brawlers. The restaurant then shut down for two days. “We had a small riot,†said Jason Starkman, the owner. “I can’t take that risk anymore with my staff.†A few blocks away at Mango’s Tropical Cafe on Ocean Drive, a popular club and cabaret, David Wallack, the owner, said that after last year’s event his staff voted overwhelmingly to close this weekend. Mango’s decided to remain open but Mr. Wallack has removed the sidewalk cafe to protect customers; a shuttle bus will ferry employees to their cars because last year several were robbed of their tips. Worse still, Mr. Wallack said the event chased away other customers and was a financial loss for the cafe. “The statement that ‘Oh, but look at all the money it brings into the city’ is simply not true,†he added. http://www.nytimes.c...e-to-leave.html

Being Dead is also a career ender. If someone were compelled to carry contrary to company policy, the watchwords would be "Keep it Secret, Keep it Safe."

Thanks. I wasn't clear on that.

I might have missed it -- how well does Stainless Steel media work with a Vibratory cleaner? I've got the standard green RCBS one -- will SS media work with it? What do you have to watch out for?

Threats Made By New Black Panthers Leader
QuietDan replied to mcurrier's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
NBPP: All mouth, no balls, no numbers. What are there, a dozen of them? They're just the sticks stirring the ####-pot. They're the dark-brown versions of mall ninjas, strutting in their paramilitary clown suits. It is to laugh. In a conflict, they'd be the first hiding under the bed or behind the skirts of their women. -
Well this is a little better than the ADT sign out front.

If I understand correctly, if you are attacked in a park like this and pull out a handgun and shoot the attackers, you cannot be charged with a 'gun in the park' violation because it is a case of self defense. I'm just saying . . . -
Is A Race War Being Censored To Avoid White Backlash?

New to Tennessee, what do I need to know?
QuietDan replied to williamsburg's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
When you order iced tea, it comes "sweet." "Bless Your Heart" isn't necessarily a compliment. There was a war fought here about 150 years ago -- and in some ways it never ended. Wait 'til you know folks before you brag on your Yankee Great Great Grandfather. -

From the article: "Police have not been able to identify either of the robbers . . . " (Wishful thinking update . . . ) "The Coroner said the pair will be buried in cardboard caskets in shallow graves at the landfill. In lieu of flowers, county residents are invited to drop by and p*** over their graves."

The Left Says: Fraud 'an accepted way' to win elections
QuietDan replied to mcurrier's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
A lot of folks believe, the outrage on the the left was, that Gore fell short and didn't steal it good enough! Anyways, I call "1911 versus Glock" on this . . . (knowing in my heart the superiority and purity of the 1911 and the Right . . . ) Picture ID for all voters, vote once, empowered & vigilant poll watchers, and NO DEAD PEOPLE for all elections. May the best team win. -

I'd rather there not be a trial 'till after the election. We don't need any excuses for pre-election riots, even though we might all be forced into it anyways. -
