matt - deplore me if you must

first!

Narciso

think is a step too far, but understand the logic of this persecution, the rioters must have 'space to destroy' any attempt to secure your life and property is forfeit,

Narciso

the prosecution had no case, there is no fodder or mudder involved

grosskeutz was a member of people's revolution with a criminal record, who was not authorized to have a weapon,

Narciso

who can forget how cowardly black rifle coffee was, former operators who deal with murderous thugs who are often our allies, yet an seventeen year old kid, that was a bridge too far,

OT; weird curling match only 2 people per side. When did the become a thing?

Comanche Voter

Huber's family is whining tonight that "Huber was murdered". Well if some sumbitch is whacking me in the head with a skateboard (twice) and looks like he's fixing to do it again--and I've got a rifle in my hands. Well that boy is going to have a couple of extra holes in his carcass--and it won't be murder to do so.

"“It wasn’t until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him with your gun — now your hands down, pointed at him — that he fired, right?” Corey Chirafisi, a defense lawyer, asked."

He coulda said 'No! That's not happened!'

I'm guessing his lawyer told him that woulda been something called perjury based on video evidence and said 'don't do that'.

wise counsel to say the least.

A very serious leftist philosopher makes some salient points:

Back in the no-can-sleep bubble. Woke again at 0030hrs. Just closed my eyes, played some classical music in my head. Didn't work.

So, here I am. Fully awake but thankfully not woke.

On first cuppa.

Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki

--"Privilege" of self-defense?!? Well, maybe-ish, in the sense that there are restrictions on self-defense rights.--

In defense of this indefensible dickhead, presumably he is discussing the legal doctrine of the "privilege" of self defense overcoming a charge of homicide in the same way "privileged" speech can overcome a charge of defamation.
Those privileges are legal terms of art distinct from the associated rights of self defense and freedom of speech.

Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki

I'm in the same bubble JiB.
Used to use diphenhydramine as a side effect free, non habit forming sleep aid, and a highly effective one. Unfortunately I just learned of the considerable evidence that prolonged use of it does have the slight side effect of raising your chances of developing dementia over 50%.
So I'll probably be getting lots more done with four extra hours of wakefulness per day. Or I'll be sleepwalking.

Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki

--Mr. Grosskreutz, an emergency medical technician, was armed with a handgun, which he took out.--

An EMT, eh?
The more immediately pertinent bit of his biography related to him taking out his handgun is that he is a wild eyed communist totalitarian who ought to be locked up in the pound with the other feral animals.

sbwaters

So, TM, since you pulled those spins from the #NYTimes, you must have gained enough insight that you now read it for entertainment and New Thread ideas, not news? ;-)

Jim Eagle

Iggy,

The most annoying thing about no-sleep, up to early, is that for the next 6-8 hours you keep nodding off. Even watching sports on TV or doing that internet thingy.

sbwaters

Atually, JIB, the reason you are restless is that in the back of your mind you are actually trying to figure out where to put all that stuff shipped down from New York.

Jim Eagle

As seen on FB: LOL!

PARKING TICKET: My wife and I went into town and visited a shop. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and I said, "Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?" He just ignored us and continued writing the ticket.
I called him an "a**hole." He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.
So my wife called him a "s*ithead." He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing more tickets.
This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote. He finally finished, sneered at us and walked away. Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home.
We always look for cars with Biden stickers. We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's so important at our age!!

Jim Eagle

SBW,

No. That is going to be Mrs. JiB's science project when gets back later today:) I'll watch the dogs and the games on TV.

Narciso

yes it's like tetris, but the layout of your place,

the times don't groove on the more interesting angles, they go for pre made pulp,

henry

On the “privilege” thing. Keep in mind the DA is a Dem. To Dems we have no god given rights. Only what few privileges the government allows. Use of guns, pronouns, or ivermectin are allowed only to the extent a bureaucrat approves.

Narciso

Narciso,

Are you surprised about the Louis Vuitton robbery? I am not.

Pretty soon the demand for designer goods is going to wane as consumers figure out carrying something like a Vuitton bag is going to mark you as a criminal or paint you as a target.

Narciso

its the price of enabling prog governance and media,

Sammy Small

Jim Eagle: good one on the parking ticket

Henry: Your pronoun comment brought up a funny incident I recall. When in Europe in the 70's, we often flew to Germany on weekend training missions. On one such mission, I was flying with a newly arrived Lieutenant in the back seat who was a country boy from Kentucky.
We landed at Furstenfeldbruck airbase and went to base ops where he needed a bathroom break after the flight. He wandered over to where the restroom entrance was and saw the word "Herren" on the door. He suddenly returned to the ops desk and said "I found the Herren, but where is the Hisen?" True story.

Regarding Louis Vuitton, why don't they use those $20 knockoff's for modeling that is displayed and go to the backroom to retrieve an actual product for the purchaser?

clarice

If there's another no justice no peace riot would I be wrong to say a bargain Vuitton Hermes bag would make a lovely Christmas present?
Anyway, I'm glad TM is reading the NYT with his glasses on today.

Witt Holmes

If Tom Maguire had paid any attention to the actual trial, he'd know that the "privilege of self defense" is the exact language of the law and jury instructions and was used countless times by the defense counsel in closing arguments to the jury. When you are defending yourself from a credible threat, you have the privilege to kill the bastard. If he has a problem with that he should run for the state legislature in Wisconsin and change the words.

Witt Holmes

Maguire should have watched the trial he's writing about. McGinniss was challenged by the asshole DA that "you don't know what was going through Mr. Rosenbaum's mind at that time do you?"
McGinniss: "Well he said 'F*ck you' and grabbed Kyle's gun."
(from memory)
So that was one of the quotes of the trial. Somehow Maguire missed that.

Atually, JIB, the reason you are restless is that in the back of your mind you are actually trying to figure out where to put all that stuff shipped down from New York.

Or all the blue light you are getting from screens.
Either get those glasses, or try not watching/reading anything on a screen after four.

Oh--and stop drinking then too. People who live at this house notice a HUGE effect of alcohol on sleep (sadly). Like boy oh boy--do we sleep well during Lent.

Taking melatonin??? Hot bath/shower around 7??

(I've woken up multiple times this week at 1:30 too. Have NO IDEA why.)

Good afternoon! I'm addicted to a dab of lavender oil on my wrists when I go to bed. A diffuser works also.

I slept 10 1/2 hours last night. They have me on oxygen at night and my sister says several of her friends are on it for sleep apnea. Maybe that’s what’s wrong with me.

For the West Nile virus, they are putting Ivermectin in bird feeders which helps suppress the disease because birds are a carrier of the misquito-borne disease.

Deceased Pedo sues Kyle.

Denver-area attorney Milo Schwab has filed a civil lawsuit in connection to the deadly shooting perpetrated last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin, by Kyle Rittenhouse, who was recently found not guilty of homicide after claiming to have acted in self-defense. Schwab represents the family of Joseph Rosenbaum, who was among those killed by Rittenhouse, and Gaige Grosskreutz, who Rittenhouse shot on that same night. Schwab said that with the civil case, those behind it will be “reaching for larger questions” — it targets local officials in Kenosha, questioning their treatment of the circumstances surrounding the violence that Rittenhouse perpetrated.

Henry: When I was in a military hospital in Australia, they used to wake you up and 4:00 AM, and tell you to take a shower and get ready for Dr's rounds. It wasn't about patient welfare, it was about having a spotless ward.

After the first time I was operated on in that hospital. The matron started screaming at me

"Why didn't you tell us you are allergic to the anesthesia" Apparently, I almost died, because of the anesthesia.

HTF was I supposed to know. It was the first time I was operated on!!!!

Davod, my hospital experience is much more recent. Cardio / neuro issues. Apparently I run low* or something when sleeping… BP, pulse, and respiration drop off a cliff while blood oxygen is good. Monitoring systems don’t like that and go on Chicken Little alarm levels. So I get woken up all the damn time.

* one nurse said that is common in endurance athletes… which I was 45 years earlier.

matt - deplore me if you must

All of those stolen LV status symbols. What a shame. Next they'll be ransacking the Hermes scarf section and selling the swag to 40 something Joy Reid viewers as booty from the War on Racism.

Whatever the crime, they have an excuse ready to use. A white pederast assaulting a kid, racism. Another white skateboarding Red Guardsman whacking him in the head, racism. 30 raging looters in the Loius Vuitton store, class warfare and oh, structural racism.

Objecting to CRT and trans studies? Ooh, that's a 3 bagger Homophobia/Transphobia and racism.

GUS

Clarice, things on OUR SIDE, change gradually, because of numerous levels of DEEP STATE, and because of the MFM. Rittenhouse, like him or not, is a BIG WIN for normal honest conservative Americans. The abject bias and malintent are there for all to see. I hope RITTENHOUSE gets slandered, and attacked in the media for a long long time.
People ARE catching on. Nick Sandman was the start. One other thing. Notice how very many celebs, elites, and educrats CANNOT....CANNOT think critically because of IDEOLOGY. Nicole Wallace for example. My son sees it every day on campus at UWM.

Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki

You know at first I was concerned that this Omerova commie chick Biden wants running the banks was steeped in Marxism in her days in Moscow at the USSR's universities.
But then I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that meant she had avoided being taught by real Das Kapital True Believers here in the land of the free and the home of the brave's institutes of agitprop.
By the time that bint was going to school in Moscow you probably couldn't find as many actual communists in the entire empire as you can now on the faculty of one junior college in Lower Podunk, USA.

clarice

Heh, Iggy. I'm trying to figure out how in the world she was ever the nominee. My guess is (a) it's a third rank position (b) it was handled by someone lower down the totem pole in the WH presidential personnel office(c) it was a payoff to the squad.
I hope she is not confirmed.

GUS

Yes Ig, she's not COMMIE LITE, she's THE FULL COMMIE. She isn't even trying to be a spy. If you read about her (and I'm sure you know her Pedigree), you realize that she is steeeeeped in FULL COMMIE IDEOLOGY. Cutting to the chase, she means it. Tracy Stone-Manning IS COMMIE LITE.
Biden did not choose either of these pigs.

Omarova, was chosen, by one of DEMENTIA PUDDING CUP BOY'S (Happy Birthday's) handlers. There is a group that is basically recycled Obama clowns. Most think SUSAN RICE is influential (she is), but the POINT IS.....Biden is making ZERO DECISIONS. NONE.
Biden has nothing in his make-up, that is successful or has any relationship to being A LEADER or an EXECUTIVE. Think about it. Biden was hidden in his basement FOR MOST OF THE CAMPAIGN. He is obviously non compos mentis. He has very little ability to function with any intellect. Regardless, CLEARLY BIDEN is not in charge of ANYTHING. Nor did BIDEN have any real CAPACITY in his SELECTION, by the COMMIE DEMOCRAT PARTY, and his RIDICULOUS SUPPOSED ELECTION.
Ron Klain is enjoying a very short life of importance. People ask what would happen should SLOPPY JOE VERY VERY VERY CORRUPT BIDEN, be pushed to the side or even IMPEACHED in just over a year.
GUS'S opinion. When the GOP wins the HOUSE, they should IMMMMMMMMEDIATELY IMPEACH the blubbering clown. Maybe the Senate can convict him. Should by any chance, including DEMENTIA BOY, dying, Legs up Harris is elevated to PRESIDENT. She then should be repeatedly impeached.
ISN'T THAT WHAT WAS DONE TO DJT?

GUS

JIM, E-LIES-A BIT WARREN, is FILTH. Follow her life and career. Texas, Penn, Harvard SENATE.
She is not strong, nor wise nor capable. Like Sloppy Joe Biden, ONCE IN, you can stay IN.
Elizabeth Warren is a FRAUD.
