I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside. -Churchill

What has gone awry in Britain?  A complete loss of self-respect?…

Brit dad takes kids to park after school…a few punks block the swingset, he asks them to move so his daughter can swing…they grudgingly move, only to say something “horrible” to the daughter as soon as the dad steps away…all of which apparently leads to a personal trauma of epic proportions for Brit dad…

I have dreaded something like this since I became a dad. As a young man I got into fights but since having children I have tried to mellow, to demonstrate to my kids that violence is not the answer (and because I’m a 5ft 7in 42-year-old who never was particularly good at the whole scrapping malarkey). On the other hand, what message am I sending to my children by being pushed around? How can I tell my son to stand up for himself if I won’t stand up for him against bullies?

Life as a modern dad is full of these dilemmas. Working from home, I get to spend time with the children — and the dishwasher. As the son of a militant feminist, I was brought up thinking that this was A Good Thing. Yet recently I read a letter in The Times from a woman whose husband had lost his job; she found having him moping around the house all day very unsexy. Is there some deep part of my psyche that feels somehow emasculated?

So Brit dad summons up the stones enough to “confront” the punks and say “did you say something to my daughter?”   Wow…coming up with that caused a major trauma did it?  Eventually punks back down and say “no” they didn’t. 

The Mayor of London recently advised Londoners — including his own four children — to walk away from trouble rather than get involved. But what would Boris Johnson do if someone picked on his children? I ask the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) what I should have done. The response is predictably anodyne: “The MPS recognises the concern residents have regarding antisocial behaviour. We work closely with other agencies to tackle the problem of youth crime. If anyone witnesses possible offences by youths, we advise them to contact police.”

The result?  How about this video.  You see it is best to walk away, just call the police.  How could anyone stand by and watch this happen?  This should tell you how…

Here lies my difficulty: were the youths committing an offence or simply being offensive? As I didn’t hear what they supposedly said maybe I should have backed off. But that’s what people do all the time: walk away, surrender our open spaces. The more I think about my actions, the more convinced I am that I did the right thing.

Gee?  Yah think?  So he is so conflicted he calls the police?  Predictably they counsel pacifism…”antisocial behaviour” it is…I guess even more conflicted now our protagonist then…

Just to make sure, I consult the clinical psychologist Linda Blair, whose book The Happy Child is published next month. “By approaching those youths you were placing your needs before those of your children,” she says. “By walking away you would have been protecting them and also providing a role model for the future.

“In this sort of situation you need to breathe in, hold it, then let the air out of your mouth. Ask yourself: is my child in immediate danger? If the answer is no, walk away. If they are in danger, you will do the right thing every time to protect your DNA, to preserve your own genetic material.”

What?!?  He calls a shrink…the author of yes, that’s right “The Happy Child” to get another opinion on what he did.  Walking away would have been the proper role model don’t you see.  Take a deep breath?!  WTF?  “Preserve your genetic material”!?!?!?!?  Yes it’s funny but truly sad.   Protect your genetic material are you kidding me? 

Of course Britain has long since surrendered their right to own a handgun, and are well on their way to giving up the right to defend themselves much less their property or genetic material.

Self-respect, it’s a terrible thing to lose.

Dealing with “anti-social behaviour” apparently means surrendering the streets to every punk and hoodlum in sight.  For God sakes don’t stand up to them, let evil win at all costs.  Could this possibly be the same people who stood tall and alone during the blitz?

Britain has now given us this, yes the “anti-stab knife”, in a society that is now on it’s way to banning knives.  How do you eat your boiled meat without a knife?  Knife registration?  Joking you say?

The first “anti-stab” knife is to go on sale in Britain, designed to work as normal in the kitchen but to be ineffective as a weapon…It was invented by industrial designer John Cornock, who was inspired by a documentary in which doctors advocated banning traditional knives.

Do you think these Brit doctors want to ban surgical knives?  Of course not, they are the only ones who can use a knife…not you commoners.

The Times did manage to report that…here

Police recorded more than 26,000 serious knife attacks in the financial year to March 2009, an increase of six per cent on the previous year’s total.  The figures have brought calls for tougher punishments for youths caught carrying knives. Police leaders admitted last night that the findings demonstrate that knife crime is “spreading”.

David Codrea over at the War on Guns keeps pretty good track of the doings in Sarah Brady Paradise, where all is peaches and cream…er strawberries and cream.

In recent years governments have even felt it necessary to prevent the public from defending themselves with imitation weapons. In 1994 an English home-owner, armed with a toy gun, managed to detain two burglars who had broken into his house while he called the police. When the officers arrived, they arrested the home-owner for using an imitation gun to threaten or intimidate. In a similar incident the following year, when an elderly woman fired a toy cap pistol to drive off a group of youths who were threatening her, she was arrested for putting someone in fear. Now the police are pressing Parliament to make imitation guns illegal.

More here from a violent American.  And speaking of violence?

Britain’s violent crime record is worse than any other country in the European union, it has been revealed.  Official crime figures show the UK also has a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and even South Africa – widely considered one of the world’s most dangerous countries.

But never mind that, you still will get a Euro-lecture if you suggest there is anything fundamentally wrong with the Brit view on crime and punishment much less guns.  Gun-crazed cowboys like Americans just aren’t sufficiently evolved to take the high road…and before you get too upity…the U.S. still has more homicides, a source of pride for Euro gun grabbers.  You see it is better to be stabbed to death, and unable to defend yourself with an effective weapon, than having those nasty handguns around.  Such the barbarians are we.

Think it can’t happen here?  Why is it that schools punish everyone for “fighting” regardless of who started it, who the aggressor was or any consideration of right or wrong.  Defending yourself is will not get you subjected to punishment in most American schools.  Why do people stand by and watch a 90 year old man be beaten?  I wonder.  How could those people stand there?  Because they have been conditioned to.  Why do we stand by and watch horror and attrocity in the world?  Because to do something about it would require some determination of moral rights and wrongs, verboten in the politically correct world. 

One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never! -Churchill

Good Mornin’!

Nothing makes a happier morning than…

Harris County Precinct 4 deputy constables said the 34-year-old was alone inside the home in the Timberlane subdivision on Briarcreek Boulevard near Cades Cove Drive at about 6 a.m.  Investigators said the woman opened fire when the attackers burst through her bedroom door.  Both attackers were wounded. Detectives said the attackers, identified only as teenagers who live in the neighborhood, ran out of the home and called for help, claiming to be the victims of a shooting.

I’ll bet Sarah Brady has already called the vigilante woman and told her she wished she didn’t have that gun and that the two darling children could have done as they pleased…that result wouldn’t have perpetuated the culture of gun violence…

They have lost their minds

for well over 100 years the Brits  have been steadfast allies, reliable and could be counted on to stand toe to toe in the defense of freedom…however their society has collectively lost its mind completely…

Golfers arrested after fighting off gang attempting to steal clubs 

Golfers arrested after fighting off gang attempting to steal clubs …

According to reports, the players were about to tee off on the fourth hole of the course in Bromley, Kent, when they were confronted by a group of teenagers brandishing planks of wood. 

Yes you get arrested for defending yourself….

Mr Walden said: “I cannot say who was at fault and who was not at fault yesterday. 

Hmmm lessee, it’s a golf course…one group is on a tee box with golf clubs…the others are carrying planks of wood and attack them…so we arrest everyone…just can’t figure out whose at fault…cheerio

Not to mention that it is illegal to defend your home and your property there now too.  Britain has been lost to leftist idiocy, I see no other way to put it. 

Can they keep him forever?

(CNN) — The mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana, has been quarantined in China after possible exposure to the H1N1 virus, his office said Sunday.

Nagin, his wife and a member of his security detail have been quarantined in Shanghai, China,…

Because you see he is worthy of being protected…you aren’t?  Who the hell is going to attack him in China?  Some boob mayor of New Orleans?  Who is he being protected from in China?  I figure it must be his brother in law that gets a trip to China on the taxpayer dime.

Who can forget…

Kingfish playing with guns you can’t have….

A Shocker…

FORT WORTH — Less than two weeks before a capital murder trial was scheduled to begin, Tarrant County prosecutors have dismissed the charge against a 31-year-old man accused of robbing and brutally killing the mother of his college roommate inside her Ridglea Hills home in 1997…Michael Puryear has a credible alibi for the night that investigators think Verna Dennis was slain, questions have arisen about the truthfulness of a main witness, and DNA evidence linking Puryear to the crime scene is weak, a prosecutor said Wednesday.

I’m amazed.

Give them what they want

works!!

a truly heartwarming story of pacifist self defense here …I stand corrected.

09:03 AM CDT on Thursday, June 4, 2009   

A man who gave robbers a dollar was unharmed and a second man was killed during a mugging outside a Love Field apartment complex, according to media reports.  The driver handed over a wallet with $1, according to KDFW-TV. The 43-year-old who was sitting in the passenger side was shot and robbers took his wallet, police said. 

Always trust them…they’ll do the right thing.

 

One big typo

More common sense gun laws would have saved his life...

This never happened, not in Gun-Free Chi-Town.

June 3, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) — Two men accused of killing a Chicago police officer were ordered held without bail Wednesday.  Wednesday’s bond hearing was packed with officers from the 7th District where Alejandro Valadez worked the streets of Englewood.  Prosecutors described both suspects as reputed gang members who were out to get revenge when they allegedly shot Valadez.  Emotions were high in court as their family members fought back tears.

Shot him with what?  No handguns in Chicago, just ask Reichsmarshall Dailey. 

Within minutes of the shooting early Monday morning, police found a car parked nearby. On Wednesday in court, prosecutors said three guns were found inside it — a 40-caliber handgun, a 357 revolver and a 9 millimeter carbine rifle in the trunk.

Again…couldn’t have happened.  “Carbine”!?  What the hell is a carbine?  I think the proper term is “assault weapon” isn’t it?  Chicago 7 needs to get with the program.

You know it’s coming don’t  you?  I can’t disappoint you either…

Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis joined Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez after the bond hearing. Both called the shooting of Valadez, a three-year member of the Chicago Police Department, a wakeup call for common sense gun laws.

Yes common sense gun laws are the answer.  What other gun laws do they need in Chicago?  You can’t have one now?  Fair question but you aren’t progressive enough if you don’t know the answer…the answer is that there needs to be no guns anywhere then Chi-town wouldn’t be victimized by such.  Because you see…your ownership of handguns is the problem, not say Shawn Gaston…

Nevermind this…the problem is not enough common sense gun laws..

Alvarez says last month, Illinois lawmakers turned down a bill her office had drafted that targeted known gang members and would have kept Gaston behind bars.

Please pay no attention to what we actually do…just listen to our call for more common sense gun laws…

Police say Gaston and Walker are both convicted felons. In fact, Gaston has been arrested at least 13 times on charges including robbery and assault.

Oh..yeah the guns are the problem here…

Nice guys finish dead

Many of the store’s regular customers gathered near the crime scene Wednesday morning to talk about the owner. If authorities confirm that he is one of the victims, they said, it would be a great loss.  “He’s a real nice guy,” said Daniel Martinez. 

And never lose sight of the fact that the Brady Bunch and the rest of the gun grabbing crowd is happier that they are dead than if they had been properly equipped to defend themselves.

story here

Investigators don’t know how many people may have been involved in the robbery, said Dan Arnold, a homicide investigator with the Houston Police Department.  Arnold said it appears that the victims struggled. Merchandise stands had been toppled and other items were strewn around the store in disarray.  Several shots were fired, and it doesn’t appear that the victims were armed. No weapons were found.

Sucks doesn’t it?  Society’s scum win again because the decent people don’t do what they can.  Perhaps we can find a happy ending story to balance this one.

See this picture?  Contrary to the “let the police handle it crowd”.  This is what police do…they come clean up the mess after you’re dead.  They put up yellow tape, take pictures and eventually will catch the killers…all of little help to you when the thugs come for you.

Give them more…

A 42-year-old unemployed Kendall man with an extensive criminal history is now accused of being the notorious “Kendall rapist,” the person who terrorized and humiliated at least 18 girls and women nearly two decades ago…

Ah serial rapists, these are those icky rapists that don’t exist, who the gun nut types trump up to scare everyone…remember?

In many of the cases, victims were assaulted at night or early in the morning. They were often followed while walking, grabbed from behind and their attacker either said he had or had a gun or knife with him. Many of the victims were ordered to take their clothes off and were dragged into wooded or more secluded areas. They were often robbed of jewelry, cash and purses before they were raped.

Cell phones?  Whistles?  Your car keys held as a weapon?  I see no mention of this???  I thought if you just give them what they want everything is fine?

And this thinking is priceless…this thinking is why there are victims…

Meanwhile, back at his neighborhood, residents said they could not believe Rivera had been living next door. “It’s very bad,” said Marcia Kava. “I did not expect to have that person around.”

You see they don’t really exist do they?  Just intentional contrivances of the right-wing gun nut community…
