"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot
"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker
A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell
"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...
For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder
Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

I will start this story about police abuse of protestors with the dramatic account in Hawaii of the arrest and abuse of protest leader Anita Lorinc while in the custody of Honolulu police. Lorinc and others have formed an alternative Republican party (Hawaii Republican Assembly -HIRA) in protest of the mainstream Republicans who have sided with Democrats on most issues including support for this charade of a pandemic—so she had no friends in either party.
While leading a shutdown protest in Honolulu, Lorinc was arrested and cuffed behind her back. Fortunately, she kept her phone in her hands behind her back and continued recording. In this video story and interview she recounts how she was taken away in a police cruiser and down into the parking basement garage at the police station. Officers exited the running car but not before turning up the heat and leaving her inside to roast. She live–streamed the conditions in her ordeal. They finally pulled her out by her hair, roughed her up on the ground, stepped on her head and threatened her.

Is this factually true? Is this just in the face of people who say like flu and colds, rates drop in summer?
Explain it to me. I are an idiot.
Why does this surprise you? These are the same people who tell you that record cold temperatures are the result of Global Warming

In his twisted way of thinking he's not lying. It's all about deception.
1 Temperatures are rising (it's spring). 2 COVID-19 is still rising. People are still contracting it at a fairly even rate. Like the flu, it's never going away so some folks will get it, daily.
None of the percentages below have changed more than 1% in weeks. A total of 81 people across the entire state under 60yo the last 2 1/2 months. Slightly over one a day. Zero under 20yo.
The advantage (to the media). Boomers passing away, less conservative voters (usher in socialism). Mail in voting. Trash the economy. Blame Trump till Nov. It's an all out war by the media on America/Trump and most don't see it.
At the store this morning, majority of the people well under 60yo. Half gloved and masked (with a frightened look). I wonder if they know how many folks their age in this state have passed away out of 7.2 million. Is it the TeeVee or are they just too lazy to dig up the real numbers themselves? I've told people these numbers and they look at me with that glossed over 1000 mile stare. It's not sinking in. Prime for the picking.
