I’ve only just become aware of this report from June this year. It seems to have been ignored by the mainstream news media – probably because it had a happy ending, instead of turning into a tragedy. Duncanville police said no children were hurt when an armed man entered the facility where a summer camp… Continue reading A school shooting successfully stopped – but the mainstream media ignore it

Sounds like a realistic, pragmatic priest – no wonder he’s been suspended
I note this report with displeasure. Mexico’s Roman Catholic Church has suspended a controversial priest who has advised parishioners to carry guns to fight off drug cartels. Better known as “Father Pistolas,” Rev. Alfredo Gallegos is a priest in the violence-plagued western state of Michoacan who has himself sometimes carried a weapon. A circular… Continue reading Sounds like a realistic, pragmatic priest – no wonder he’s been suspended
If it’s not safe, it doesn’t matter how nice a place may be
Jeffrey Carter puts his finger on a universal truth – one that the current administration and its hangers-on don’t seem to recognize. No one is truly safe anywhere in the urban jungle these days given the way violence against people has been randomized. A lot of wealthy people I know in NYC, Chicago, and… Continue reading If it’s not safe, it doesn’t matter how nice a place may be
“Lies, Damn Lies, And Police Interrogations”
That’s the title of a recent video by the Armed Attorneys, Richard Hayes and Emily Taylor. I think it’s particularly important viewing in the light of partisan District Attorneys and police administrators in many jurisdictions in the USA. I’ve written about that problem extensively in the past, particularly in these two articles: Self-defense under… Continue reading “Lies, Damn Lies, And Police Interrogations”
What do you expect, after you’ve defunded the police?
Clearly, the liberals and progressives who’ve embraced defunding and inhibiting the police and other emergency services didn’t think about how – or whether – they would be able to do their jobs with less funding. New York City first responders are taking longer to get to fires, medical emergencies and crimes in progress. Critics… Continue reading What do you expect, after you’ve defunded the police?
The “knockout game”: **** around and find out
Last week I published an article titled ‘Self-defense warning: the “knockout game”, a.k.a. “polar bear hunting”, is back‘. If you missed it, you might want to read it before you go any further with this one. Over the weekend, Phil at Bustednuckles put up a video clip of what looks like a school or… Continue reading The “knockout game”: **** around and find out
Ask Philadelphia grave-diggers about crime figures…
This brief report caught my eye yesterday. It encapsulates what we’ve been discussing over the past couple of weeks in articles such as these: The amoral violence and blind outrage is mind-boggling Updating and revising our approach to self-defense Just in case you weren’t listening earlier… It looks like the after-effects of crime are… Continue reading Ask Philadelphia grave-diggers about crime figures…
Self-defense warning: the “knockout game”, a.k.a. “polar bear hunting”, is back
Regular readers will remember the so-called “knockout game” (sometimes called “polar bear hunting”) craze of the early twenty-teens. Young men, at that time usually black and often aspiring gang members undergoing initiation rituals, would randomly assault pedestrians, usually white, aiming to knock them unconscious with a single blow. Here are a few contemporary headlines.… Continue reading Self-defense warning: the “knockout game”, a.k.a. “polar bear hunting”, is back
Just in case you weren’t listening earlier…
… when I spoke about crime, security and self-defense, Tucker Carlson makes the point again. The transcript is available here. A quick quote to whet your appetite: The reason we have societies in the first place, which is to protect the weak from the strong. That’s where you have a society. Well, in places… Continue reading Just in case you weren’t listening earlier…
“Be prepared to kill a child”
That’s the grim warning from J. Kb, one of the writers at the Gun Free Zone blog. He refers to this incident, in which a New York City taxi driver was murdered by teenage youths he’d just dropped off. He advises: Getting killed by a group of children is still getting killed. Your children… Continue reading “Be prepared to kill a child”
