I can has cheesburger?

For the survivalists amongst my audience:
Canned cheesburgers!

Images of the actual burgers can* be found on this website.

the HIFH honorary thread.

Recently published on totse dot com, a thread containing the great feats of a great Canadian.
Hell Is For Heroes was a renowed member of totses "weapons and combat" forum, a Canadian soldier who -after recieving word that his wife has divorced him- signed up for overseas deployment.

The thread recounts such great posts like:
"Offensive range stereotypes"
"A gun control dictionairy"
His exploits with a swat midget and a turbodyke
And many other classics.

If you feel like a laugh, please read through the thread, and give totse a look too, they've got forums on everything!

Since the restraining order didn't work out ...

Janie decided to get a gun

Oh wait, that isn't right, she didn't get a restraining order against the person who ... she tried to shoot!?
Two woman who have children sired by the same man -the article makes no mention of anybody being marries- get into an altracation, and one tries to kill the other.

It would appear that the gunwoman had had her request for a restraining order denied earlier that day.

Somehting smells awefully fishy here.
At any rare, I do not endorse or even tolerate engaging in a gunfight in the vicinity of a school, with a lot of people nearby, including at least one kid.

Police impersonator assaults, rapes pregnant woman.

Story by Miamis Local 10.

It's important that if somebody claims to be a police officer, you verify that that is really so, especially if said person isn't wearing a uniform, wears gold rings and carries plastic handcuffs.

Todays sermon: Buy a gun!

Pator Chuck Baldwin recently released a text where he calls out for gun rights and the defensive use of firearms, this in suit of Assam stopping a spree killer at a church in Colorado.

An interesting read, to say the least.

Schoolboy caught with ... what?

"Schoolboy accused of having gun, machete at school" ... wow!

The gun was a blackpowder rifle, so I suspect there may be re-enecting at play. Then again, muskets ARE assault weapons right?
If anybody finds out what this is all about, drop me a line please.

If he really had bad intentions, the story would be much more like this one.

No survivors, set the world on fire ...

Poor Megadeth plug, the mother I'll be talking about set her kids on fire, not the world, and fortunately there were survivors.
That's right, before attempting to commit suicide (and failing miserably), the mother doused her five children with an accelerant and set them on fire.

This is one of those cases that proves a lot of gun rights activists wrong. Yes, a demented person will indeed find another means to wreak havoc if a gun is not available, but the results might be less dire. Let's face it, if she'd had a gun, chances are she would have killed more of her children than just the baby.
Now they're just scarred for life both physically and mentally.

Some people are plain sick.

Great post by Rob Allen

A great post on reasoned discourse over at sharp as a marble.

New one-but-favourite beer

So I was at the local supermart recently. I went to pick up a four pack of cherry beer and ... what? I like cherry beer! This is Belgium, my local supermart has got an entire aisle of cherry beer, even a shelf or three with raspberry beer!
Anyway, my absolute favourite beer is -no contest- "nen Bangelijke", a microbrew by "het pakhuis" (the warehouse) which is simply astonishing -hence the name-, regardless of the poor reviews written by pansies from overseas who can't handle a beer with an alcohol content close to your garden variety wine.

Well, when venturing into that jungle of masculinity free bottles which is the previously mentioned cherry beer aisle, I thought it would be nice to get a different kind of beer for once, so I picked up a pack of "mort subite eXtreme kriek", the specifics of which are listed on the brewers webpage.
This stuff is so amazing! So go ahead, bring on the "fruit" remarks, joke about pink and carbonated beverages, I don't care.

Radioactive boyscout ordered to jail.

I don't know if any of you remeber the story of the radioactive boyscout.
Mind that this isn't a fictional story, it is a true story of a follish boy who like to play with hazardous chemicals. Regardless of how impressive his persistance was, he was reckless and a danger to the people around him.

Well, fox reports that he's been sentenced to a 90 day jail sentence for stealing smoke detectors.

If anything, this should be a heads up. The Brady campaign likes to rant about the "terror gap", will they soon be talking about the "smoke detector gap"? Will these safety devices be banned along with geiger counters? It's also a warning: people who wouls wish to commit a terrorist attack can always find other means.

The infamous works "bomb"

After the previous gratuitous refrence to a templar meme, I bring you: A pair of real life idiots who constructed what is commonly known as a "works bomb"

In an attempt to get back at a bully, two kids constructed such "destructive device" and tossed it at his house. Being idiots, they failed to construct a device that actually worked. Later a postal worker handled the device, and -perhaps by agitating the mixture contained- was exposed to the corrosive product previously contained within.
The poor man sufferd from chemical burns and had trouble breathing, which is what's to be expected.

"They were very foolish to do this, but felt they had no other choice because they were being bullied by this individual"
-the assistant DA

What?
They manufactured a destructive device, attempted to cause damage of property, left said device unattended and failed to inform the proper authorities after it had failed?
They also involuntairely but still- disrupted the postal service (felony!) and clearly committed reckless endangerment.

If they don't understand the reprecussions of their actions at ages 15 and 16, they will not learn at a later age. Prosecute them as minors if you must, but don't tell me you're gonna go easy on them! Teach them some respect for the law and the safety of others before it's too late.

Policing the Police

A new Jersey cop spent his latst day on the force before retiring writing out tickets. The vehicles he was getting were patrol cars who had expired inspection stickers.
The policeman had brought up the issue of inproperly inspected vehicles before the chief of police, but he failed to act during the several month period since then.

Some cops are good, some cops are not.
But you've gotta love a man with a sence of humor!

All tickets are obviously being charged in traffic court, nihil nove sub sole there.

Police officer killed with her service weapon.

"We targetted the guns used by gangs to kill police officers"
Paraphrased from Carolyn McCarthy

It's common belief amongst gun rights activists that police officers are most likely to be shot to death with their own service weapon.
I don't currently have the proper reports on hand to verify that, but I believe it is plausible, as that is a gun that is present in every shooting of a police officer.

Recently, a law enforcement officer was shot several times with her own weapon after confronting a man believed to be involved in a rape case. The ended up in a scuffold which endured for seven minutes, the suspect got a hold of the gun and shot the officer to death.

This is a very serious event, and my hearth goes out to the people this brave woman leaves behind.

I think it should also be noted that banning guns will in no way keep officers from being shot to death with legal guns, think about that the next time a police chief calls for gun control to keep his finest safe from hunters, target shooters and people concerned for their own safety and the well being of their family.

Molotov everything.

Two firebombs were used in an attack against a texas tax service office today.

The article is a bit odd. They start off by saying the entire mell was nearly destroyed!!!, only to follow up with the remark that the fire was neatly contained in a small area, and that damage was minimal.

Now, I don't mean to spread PSH myself, but we should recognise how much worse this could have been. Setting fore to a crowded building is a serious offence, and puts the lives of dozens at risk. Fortunately the attacker(s) wasn't all too capable of pulling off his plan, but this could have been much worse tyhan the average shooting.

And that's a painfull little fact. Shooters have accumulated dozens of deaths in a spree killing at times, but that's nowhere near the body count of an arson attack against a sports stadium or movie theathre. Unfortunately, there are currently no laws prohibiting/preventing criminals from buying goods like gasoline, soap, weedkiller and other components to powerfull incendiary devices which cannot be combatted by conventional firefighting tactics.
