Now you wish

that you had stuck with playing hide n’ seek don’t you?  If you are going to put bet your life on your ability to hide well, then we need to make hide n’ seek mandatory in the schools and credit level classes in college.

The Austin County Sherriff’s Office said around noon, Gonzalez’s wife, 29-year-old Charleen Gonzalez, called to report a burglary in progress at their ranch, located in the 6400 block of South Sycamore Crossing. She and their 2-year-old child were hiding in a closet.  Gonzalez, 56, and his ranch hand were shot by the intruders. Gonzalez was killed.

At noon no less…nothing bad happens at noon and they live in the country…what could be safer.  They even had hired help to take the bullets…

Investigators are still trying to sort through what happened. They’re not sure if it was an intended home invasion or a burglary gone wrong. They believe at least five men are involved in the crime.

These must be the boogeymen that never come…at least in the world of the statist gun-grabbers.  The last thing in the world this guy needed was an assault rifle wasn’t it…or an assault shotgun…multiple armed intruders, that makes me chuckle, the stuff of pure NRA fantasy.

and some cool accompanying audio…

I think the song is called “The Boogey Man Never Comes” a/k/a “You’ll Just Shoot Yourself…”

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.

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…

Give them what they want…

it’s always the answer.  After you give it to them, you trust them to do the right thing.

Police said a man who had just crashed an SUV ran across the parking lot and found the car with the woman and two children inside.  The woman was able to get one of the children out of the vehicle, but the man drove away with the 5-year-old boy in the car, police said.

 

“(He) jumped in the car, slapped my mom around, told her to get out of the car before he killed her. My mom got out of the car. She told them, ‘Let me grab the kid.’ And he just took off in the car, with the kid in the car. Supposedly about 2 miles down the road, from what I hear, he dumped the child out the window in the middle of the street,” said Oreste Sosa, the boy’s uncle.

Just remember, give them what they want, don’t resist, don’t make them angry…..feel their pain.

Why you should be carrying

because he’s real and he isn’t the only one and a lot are worse…

Not in a movie

According to a psychologist’s report released Tuesday by the state Department of Justice, Johnson felt empty and numb the day of the shootings and told the doctor his “purpose was to kill. Jesus could have been walking with Moses that day and I would have killed them.”

Johnson added, “You don’t have to be crazy to do what I did, just angry,” said the report by psychologist Deborah Collins.

Nice Going Illinois!!

Keep ‘em helpless!!!

a golden oldie (ok, 13 months).  Apparently more details are being released now.  The perp was unshot at the time and remains at large.

Unmolested by silly citizens with guns

NEW YORK (CNN) — She survived a bloodbath at a Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois, by playing dead. The only survivor, she gave police a detailed description of the gunman….

The crime began to unfold shortly after 10 a.m. when a man posing as a delivery man walked into the store. He chatted briefly with two customers and two employees. Then, police said, he pulled out a gun and announced a holdup.

He forced the four women into the back room, police said. He bound them with duct tape and placed them face down on the floor. Two more women who later entered the store also were taken to the back room, tied and placed next to the others.

This kind of stuff never happens…pfffft being herded to the back room.  The survivor did a hell of a job err.. surviving and getting a description rather than the “it happened so fast…”.  Shame no one their had the appropriate tools to defend themselves….but that would only perpetuate the culture of gun violence in lovely crime free Chicago.

If one lady was able to reach her cell phone, how did this not save them all???  The be all and end all cell phone?  If she could reach her cell phone while he was distracted, perhaps she could have reached something else more useful?  Fortunately Illinois again this year has defeated concealed carry legislation.  The Politburo there needs to make sure that people like this shooter have a safe work environment.  Nice going Illinois!

Couldn’t find any…

bullets for the gun…and no help from 911.

By CHRIS HAWES / WFAA-TV

 

PARKER COUNTY – As an intruder roamed around her home, a woman repeatedly dialed 911 and received no answer.   Laverne Hokett woke up one February night to the sound of someone breaking down her back door.  “It’s a thousand wonders I haven’t had a heart attack,” she said with tears welling up in her eyes. “I was so afraid.”

“Yes I was so afraid, yet absolutely and totally unprepared and unequipped to defend myself.  I’m just a criminals dream, I live my life in a mindset of complete and blissfull unawareness”, she didn’t say.  “I fully buy into the conditioning of the nanny-staters that I should remain helpless and just call 911 to come find my body”, she didn’t say with tears welling up in her eyes.

After dialing 911 several times with no answer, Hokett called her daughter, Deborah Turpin, who lives nearby. Hokett then tried 911 again as the man inside her home screamed.

“Welcome to Parker County 911…if you are calling to complain about McDonalds being out of chicken mcnuggets press 1 now…if  you think you need some  help press 2 now…if you have someone in your home in the middle of the night who has broken down your door and isn’t supposed to be there press 3 now, to repeat these options press the star key…welcome to the home invasion hotline…our normal business hours are from 8:30 a.m. pacific time to 7:30 p.m. Atlantic daylight time, if you are calling during normal business hours and would like to hold, please press 1, if you would like to leave a message and have one of our home invasion hotline specialists call you back, please press 2 now…”

“Well, he couldn’t find the bullets to the gun,” she said of her neighbor.

Attaboy, “safe” storage you can’t beat it.  Preparation, planning, practice…pfffft who needs it.  “Now where did I put those damn moldy bullets I bought back in ‘64???”  “Well Edna…I can’t find any bullets….I haven’t touched this gun in about 5  years, but I fully expected to be able to use it when I needed it.  I hope it all turns out ok for you over there, I’m going back to bed….”

When Turpin (daughter) and her husband arrived at Hokett’s home, they cornered the intruder at gunpoint. They then tried to call 911 again and again.  “I’m very frustrated,” Turpin said. “I’m very angry.”  Finally, the phone rang.   “This is Parker County 911,” a dispatcher said. “Your phone is dialing 911, is there an emergency?”   “Someone’s broken into my mother’s home,” Turpin replied. “I’m sitting here with a gun on him, and if he doesn’t behave I’m going to kill him. … We’ve both got guns on him. He’s sitting here crying and bawling.”   Deputies arrived 13 minutes later and arrested the intruder.

You mean someone arrived with a gun to resolve this issue?  No…  Well once they managed to get the police…it was only 13 minutes…nothing bad can happen to you alone in your home with an intruder for 13 minutes…just wait on 911 calmly.

Hokett said she hopes she never needs 911 again. But just in case, she said her daughter bought her a shotgun that she has places near her bed.

Why?  Guns never solve anything.  They just contribute to the culture of gun violence and you’ll only shoot your eye out…will she be able to find the “bullets”?  Will she be able to operate it?  Will Parker County 911 answer?  Will Parker County 911 learn what to do on a 911 “hang up”?  Tune in next time to “As the Oprah-fied helpless American Turns”

Nothing bad happens in broad daylight

Only a totally paranoid person would think so or a gun freak.

Sabrina Pina’s loved ones grasped a sliver of hope on Sunday as they waited for the medical examiner to determine whether a body found in a northwest Harris County ditch is that of the 27-year-old who vanished while shopping this weekend.  The Houston woman disappeared Saturday afternoon from a Kohl’s a few miles from her Spring home. Her parents found her pickup, filled with shopping bags, in the parking lot several hours later.

Here’s a tip…it’s dangerous in Houston, maybe people should do something to protect themselves..?

UPDATE:  No surprisingly dead, story here

Pina, who lived in Spring, was found dead in a ditch in northwest Harris County on Sunday morning. She had been shot in the head.

This gent is charged with capital murder in her death

Schmidt was arrested at his apartment in northwest Houston on Tuesday night. Authorities said they focused on him after finding his fingerprints on duct tape that bound the woman’s hands and covered her eyes.

Sounds like from the story he had been stalking her since high school.   Just think, if she had had a CHL and lived in Tennessee or Arkansas then cretins like Max Brantley or the trash at the Commercial Appeal in Memphis would post her address information to make it easier to find her.

Beaten like a dog

Torres and a then-15-year-old were accused of attacking Elizabeth Prezio on Nov. 27, 2007.  Prezio, who suffered multiple broken bones, testified Tuesday that her assailants beat her “like a dog” before stealing her iPod and cellphone.

The trail runs through probably the most affluent areas of Dallas proper.  Nothing bad happens there.  The stylish residents of Uptown, Oak Lawn and McKinney Street areas have no use for the crude tools of self defense.

“They chose a 47-year-old petite woman as their victim,” Castello said. “They did it because they were cowards. They knew she was an easy victim.”

And most times they are right. The victim followed politically correct self defense and had a cell phone with her, how did that not work?  And the whistle??  I guess the punk Mr. Torres had little fear she might actually have a proper weapon to defend herself.  And why would he…you know the culture of gun violence and all can’t have that.  Wonder if the victim would have preferred another option to a dog beating?
