De-escalation Tactics
A recent encounter with a neighbor while delivering a mortgage company letter got ugly. Seems the neighbor is a retired policeman and has taken upon himself to be a neighborhood watchman.
He confronted me, demanding to know my business, and I politely told him to fuck off. Upon reflection, I didn’t use good de-escalation tactics. Upon further reflection came the realization I don’t give a fuck. He was still in the street making threats as I drove off.
Yeah bitch, lay hands on an “at risk senior”. Felony in Colorado.

He makes his cheapskate father proud! What really makes his father prouder is his nearly a decade of sobriety.
Tools
Over the years I wonder how many “borrowed” tools I’ve replaced.

Idaho Co-ed Murders
As always, YMMV

Your points on the Moscow Idaho murders are all spot on. On the other hand,my heart goes out to the parents who weren’t consulted by the prosecutor. Rather than 3 hots and a cement slab for a bed, I think they would have rather him tested the new Idaho execution method…firing squad.

I understand the parent's feelings. I bet most people would love to see him meet a firing squad. That said, bird in hand.............
Somebody was on a power trip, wasn't he? And congrats to your son! That sumbitch should die, but I'm guessing he wouldn't man up, so this is his way out.
He was a bully with a badge. Son had to turn his life around. It was a struggle. Idaho monster gave up all rights to appeal. Likely the parents will sue him in civil court to insure he doesn't make any money with books, interviews, etc.
Your de-escalation tactics were appropriate for an EX-cop and career bully and I'm sure would have been quite entertaining to witness. Have you ever considered a body cam? Might make for some good content on your blog, just sayin'.
At one point, I was considering starting up a blog called "today's asshole" with a photo and description of the offending party and why they made the grade. But then I got busy and never got around to it and anyway, some days it would be hard to pick just one.......
Body cam might be a good idea if I didn't need to read instructions. I could have an occasional "Karen" post.
Speaking of assholes, our city recently started a photo radar speeding van and announced it on their Facebook page. Several comments immediately appeared, with many pointing out one police car, a four door pickup, whose driver always seemed to speed - no lights or sirens, with the question about police not being exempt.
Some people are always exempt. Always.
I think maybe if I was occasionally doing something with the potential for contentious encounters, like hanging paper by myself without a sympathetic witness present maybe, I'd be thinking about a cam of some sort. "Just sayin' ".
Exempt people can still be called out.
Body cams/dash cams/ etc. are neutral. They can be used for or against you. I have given some thought to the subject. Since I can be a bigger asshole than the assholes I encounter, do I want a record of my interactions?
That's is indeed the other side of that coin and ya never know in advance which way it gonna flip.
I see value in dash cams. Will I get one? Definite maybe.
When AOC endorses or supports a Socialist, Fascist, who is actually a full fledged Communist or pretty much anything, you automatically know it's not directionally correct. Her total ignorance only demonstrates the lack of ntelligence of her constituency who continues to vote her into office.
That’s why I avoid listening to Fools like her, and I try to avoid them like the Plague. .
In Nazi Germany (1933-1945): under Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Party implemented a fascist exactly like New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s regime characterized by racism, antisemitism, and expansionist policies.
Chuck Schumer stopped short of endorsing Mamdani, a DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST, when asked at the press conference.
Schumer said he spoke with Mamdani and would meet with him in the coming days, but did not answer whether he planned to endorse him.. Needless to even say that Schumer is an idiot.
Mamdani said the wants rent freezes, no bus fares, an increase in minum wage, he wants to take money from law enforcement and create a 'Dept. of Community Safety' that would dilute punitive approaches to hate crimes. He hates Israel as well. His supporters include AOC and the 'Sunrise Movcement' an anti Zionist climate group.
The man is a Loon and Anyone Who Supports Him Is a Loon. Real Americans will likely run from him, But AOC and the Democrat radicals like Schumer, and ,Hakeem Jeffries and will likely embrace him.
It is an undeniable fact that the Democrat Party supports open borders through which millions upon millions of Illegal Immigrants flow, many from failed states with little or no history of successful self-government or those with cultures diametrically opposed to Western core values. Illegal aliens who drag their own culture, language, dress, food, and customs into America to recreate a safer, more prosperous version of what they left behind, individuals who will not assimilate and who maintain allegiance to foreign sovereigns.And that this “New” Democratic party with leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, and with voices’s like Ilhan Omar,the fSomali-American member of Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley and especially that Loud, Filthy Mouthed Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett
This includes thousands of fit, military-age men who can easily be manipulated and whipped into a frenzy if they think the end goal of violent protest leads to a path to citizenship.
In the guise of humanity, inclusivity, and fairness, the Progressive Communist Democrats have introduced the seeds of destruction that they hope will collapse the West under the burden of burdening our infrastructure, healthcare, education, public safety, and existing safety net reserves paid for by ordinary citizen taxpayers.
What better political weapon than "street action shock troops" not anchored to American values and representing a demographic and cultural change leading to political destabilization? For the progressive communist democrats, immigration is a weapon in a larger ideological war.
Whether you believe Hakeem Jeffries,, and Chuck Schumer is a guardian of the Constitution or a master of subversion depends mainly on your politics.
But one thing is certain: The battle for control over the narrative, the institutions, and the future of American democracy is far from over. And if you believe we’re in a Revolution now, then the next election cycle, and everything leading up to it, will feel like the next chapter in a very familiar playbook.
OUR QUALITY OF LIFE IS AT RISK
A Georgia judge has granted a court-ordered mental evaluation for José Ibarra, the illegal immigrant convicted in the brutal 2024 murder of nursing student Laken Riley. The ruling, handed down by Athens-Clarke County Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard, opens the door for Ibarra’s legal team to pursue a potential retrial or appeal based on claims he was mentally incompetent during both the crime and trial.
The illegal alien who murdered Laken Riley may receive a fresh trial due to an alleged “congenital deficiency.”
Jose Ibarra, an illegal alien from Venezuela who killed 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley in cold blood, was found guilty on all charges during his trial last November.
Ibarra, the disgusting Illegal alien who killed Laken Riley, was found guilty in November 2024 on a long list of charges—including malice murder, felony murder, kidnaping, and aggravated assault with intent to rape—after he attacked Riley while she was jogging near Lake Herrick at the University of Georgia campus. The case captured national attention, not only due to the horrific details of the crime but also because Ibarra had entered the U.S. illegally from Venezuela just two years earlier.
I firmly believe that Illegals charged with a crime SHOULD NOT get lawyers paid by american taxpayers. Make him hire his own lawyers and if he can't -- tough. The first trial cost a fortune and this will too. It’s high time that we in this county should realize that ILLEGALS HAVE NO RIGHTS.
Unfortunately you get a Susie la la on the jury and there goes the death conviction. Military does not have death sentences. So we were tagged. We were the death trial. Military man killed an entire family of 5 and raped the 14 year old before setting her on fire. But then came our Susie. No conviction, his spirit could be free in prison, he could write a book about how not to do it. Two years in a super max and he committed suicide.
Mother was using his older brother to beat him for her enjoyment. Two teacher in family taught him and knew, uncle was a pediatrician and saw. Nobody said a word.
