Righteous shot

Simon  says it as well as it can be said. 

A good self-defense shooting "..is one that Mayor Daily can’t prosecute because it will make him look like a bigger dick than we already know he is. "


An armed turd fired twice into the home of an 80-year-old man, his 83-year-old wife, and their 12-year-old great-grandson. The homeowner fired one round and the late Mr. Anthony Nelson, burglar,  collapsed, leaving behind a voluminous rap sheet. 


Mayor Daley told reporters he didn't know if he'll order  the states attorney to charge the army veteran with violating Windy laws  requiring  you Chicagoans to submit to any armed thug who has a yen for what's yours and -- most particularly -- making fighting back a  a serious crime.


If northern Illinois libertarians are looking for a  little community service project, how about a bake sale? The proceeds to replace the homeowner's pistol, which the cops assuredly confiscated. Oh, and  also to replace the well-expended cartridge.  

The Drug Massacres Continue

A friend is commiserating with me as I bitch about conditions in Mexico, a place I once loved. I doubt I'll ever again  feel comfortable in the camper pulled into a pretty beach cove on Carmen Island or a wide spot in the road a hundred miles south of Ensenada.

The dopers and suppliers of dopers have turned us all into collateral damagees. Perhaps it's time to listen again to our other  friend, Travis McGee

"The only possible solution to this deadly trade is to ignore it. Legalize it along with marijuana. Then the infrastructure will sag and collapse. It will no longer be fashionable. Street dealers will no longer hustle new customers on high school sidewalks. And men won't die in the squalid massacres...

Dynamic cultural illiteracy

Because I watch little electrical teevee I'm in debt  to my friend Alan of  one of the New England commissariats for word that Lt. John W. Finn, USN, (ret.)  died yesterday. On Dec. 7, 1941, he left his wife's bed in Kanoehe to rush to the sound of guns at  the  Naval Air station.

Then-CPO Finn picked up a machine gun (presumably a Browning .30), carried it to an exposed spot on the air strip, and blazed away at Jap raiders. He was wounded several times over the course of a long battle, He survived hospitalization, and, on Sept. 15, 1942, Admiral Chester Nimitz pinned the Medal of Honor on him.

Last night, on ABC teevee, John tells me,   George Stephanopolis (I'm too intellectual to be in politics.) reported that he was cited   for "fighting back at the Kamikazes attacking Pearl Harbor."

EDIT:  Adding that Lt. Finn was the last surviving MOH winner from Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.
