Disappointment follows – just the usual WSF’s wandering mind

The West has seen a wave of Eastern and European “investors” since the indigenous tribes were subdued and forced on reservations. Many were broken by the Great Depressions, sheep men, and homesteaders. Others were taxed unto fleeing (Japanese investors in Steamboat Springs, for instance). Still they persist as outlined by this very long article about an effort to create a new Jackson Hole.

This is a problem when done by conservatives. OK by others, for our own good, since we aren’t smart enough to make our own informed choices.

Wokeism, DEI, youth violence and 18,000,000 Illegals

Youth violence is being encouraged, and glorified, by evil rap music, IMO. (Music is used very loosely here)
What will happen when those 18,000,000 million illegals get cut off from the government tit? Gangs on a scale we have never envisioned.
The government tit? The country is going broke and our currency worthless. If you use gold as a baseline, and currently trading around $2,270+/-, a dollar is really worth $.22 (look, I’m not a math major so correct me if I’m wrong).

Law Enforcement where I live
· We enforce the laws, what will
you do?
The suspect had an active felony warrant out of Adams County
that he failed to appear in court on. Despite this, no one could stop, or
predict what he would do next that would disrupt the peace in several northern
Colorado communities.
To give you a brief background, the person’s actions we are
talking about here have warranted WCSO SWAT to be activated to assist other
Northern Colorado law enforcement agencies, twice in the past. For more
context, this same person was on parole from May of 2022 to March 4, 2024. Now
that you have some background, lets take a look at the most recent criminal
event this same individual was recently arrested in.
In late March of this year, just shortly after he discharged his
parole sentence, he allegedly fired a handgun into an occupied building located
in the Town of Windsor. The suspect’s vehicle description was reported to law
enforcement in this incident.
A short while later, two citizens approached a WCSO deputy and
reported traveling near Intersand America Corp. in the Town of Windsor, and a
male in a similar pickup truck allegedly pointed a gun at them. The motorists
provided the vehicle tag number of the suspect to law enforcement. Based on the
description of the vehicle in the first incident, the suspect’s vehicle tag,
and nearby security camera footage, the suspect vehicle was identified by law
enforcement.
Other WCSO deputies responded to assist the town of Windsor, along
with the Eaton, Ault, and Severance Police Departments. The suspect vehicle was
later located, and several police departments followed, and eventually pursued
the suspect’s vehicle. The pursuit lasted for nearly an hour, and ended in
unincorporated Weld County when the suspect surrendered and was taken into
custody by the Severance Police Department.
The suspect’s bond was later set at $5 million cash/surety for
the charges that took place in the Windsor Police Department’s jurisdiction,
and $3 million cash/surety for the charges that took place in the Severance
Police Department’s jurisdiction.
Thankfully, in this most recent incident, no one was injured,
but the building the suspect fired into, and several surrounding vehicles did
incur minor damage. It is worth noting, several law enforcement vehicles that
engaged in the pursuit were damaged. Also, Windsor residents had an approximate
two-hour shelter-in-place around the immediate area surrounding the building
where the shooting took place.
If we haven’t explicitly communicated it in the past through
social media posts like these, we will make it clear now, law enforcement and
the communities they serve are deeply connected. You cannot separate one from
the other, and what effects one effects the other. The person discussed in this
post exemplifies the failures in our justice system that need to be addressed
and cannot be solved by law enforcement alone. Remember, we enforce the laws,
we do not write them. We enforce the laws; we do not determine a suspect’s
bond. We enforce the laws; we do not determine if someone gets paroled; or if
the courts entrust them to appear for a court date at a later time which they
fail to appear for. We enforce the laws, so what will the people who live in
our communities that are affected by crimes like this do to legally address
problems such as these to keep our communities safe? In a society where there
are less penalties for criminal offenders, more permissive drug laws, concerns
about vigilante justice, and the state is restricting the rights of gun owners;
it is important to get engaged with the legislative process and make your voice
heard. So, what will YOU do to fix our broken justice system?
All charges are merely accusations, and a defendant is presumed
innocent until, and unless proven guilty in a court of law. #staysafeweldcounty

I didn’t know my car had a cabin air filter. Simple job to replace and Sisty’s renter helped me. We found the one in the car was the original, circa 1992. Gross doesn’t begin to describe it.
The car is gray, devoid of any stickers and completely anonymous. That is useful in my work. A local chain of car washes offer unlimited washes for $18 a month so the car is kept clean. Other than having a handicapped license plate, there is nothing calling attention or likely to stick in anyone’s memory.

Some may call it selling out and I won’t argue.
As always, YMMV
