Zero Tolerance

Law and Order

From Florida, some good news:

“As far as looting — we have law and order in Lee County. We have law and order in our great state of Florida, and we always will,” said Marceno. “Right now, we have four cases of looting, and I’m proud to say they’re behind bars where they belong. Our residents are going to be safe.”

Or, as FuturePOTUS Ron DeSantis puts it:

“I can tell you in the state of Florida, you never know what may be lurking behind somebody’s home. And I would not want to chance that if I were you given that we are a Second Amendment state.”

Let me remind everyone that during the Blitz in 1940, when the Brits still had actual balls, looting of bomb-damaged houses carried the death penalty.

The good old days, in other words.

Other People’s Lives

Hunting

During our semi-regular phone call yesterday, the fiend Mr. Free Market breezily informed me that this coming weekend he will be blasting birds out of the sky at this address:

Even worse, the weather forecast is for “sunny with mild temperatures”, so I can’t even wish that he’ll freeze his nuts off.

ENVIOUS.

“We’re All Battling”

Good Stuff

Just a lovely story, one that makes me want to take the barrel of tar off the boil, hang the rope back on the wall and postpone a trip to the range:

“Today at my local supermarket, there was an elderly lady in front of me, kept checking how much she’s spending.  Long story short, the amount came to over what she had, and she asked for certain items to be credited off.

“The Aldi cashier turned around and said, ‘It’s only £1 something over, I’ll pay it for you.’

“When it was my turn I said ‘what a lovely thing to do’ and the reply was ‘we are all battling at the moment and we need to eat’.” 

Nothing like a bit of gratuitous kindness to help assuage the rage, is there?
