Orders of Protection arent...

A Rikers Island officer stalked his terrified ex-girlfriend to Massachusetts, where he shot her in the head, executed a veteran cop and then committed suicide.

"The murder-suicide unfolded after Bryan's ex, Charlene Mitchell,  29, went to court Monday and took out an order of protection against him."


Various studies suggest that not only do protective orders often not work, they can also increase the chances for domestic violence.


For an excellent discussion of the failure of courts to provide real protection to victims I highly recommend this site:

Siri - Ultimate Combat Assistant

Conceptually, this is actually a fascinating demo (with all caveats aside for the dramatic effects). I wonder how this could be made into a functional program suite for iOS and Android?



GLOCK: Serious Trust

I think the militarization of the police is now complete. Cool slow-mo vid though. Lots of criminals need shooting. What will happen when the world runs out of white people though???

Uzi 9mm

I've always been a big fan of Uzi subguns. So its a great pleasure to recently see an excellent IMI specimen.


Check out the vid here.


For some reason the pics have been properly rotated but don't seem.to post that way. May have to work on fixing that when I get to a linux box next?

Agenda 21

Everything wrapped up in a neat package? And a cultural agenda? A fascinating attempt to reign in the profligate ways of the species. Still, I would miss the human, all too human element if it were eradicated through coordinated efforts to reduce crime, predation, malice, meanspiritedness, and ecstasy to mere animal husbandry. I'm sure personal firearm ownership is frowned upon in their cultural dialoge section. At what point does one realize that the UN is for the herd, whereas struggle-to-be-free-from is the birthright and mark of all ubermensch? 

A world without firearms or crazy drugs is no world I want to inhabit. But then my philosophical objections to the UN are well known, and stated elsewhere at some length. I yearn for the balkans, for discontent in all it's forms, for evolution through separation, isolation, and intense spiritual agonies. 

Admiration of the Redneck Pistolero marks me as the last man (der letzte Mann): so be it!
