The Right Stuff

Here’s an interesting situation:


...gives a whole new meaning to the term “jury duty”, dunnit?  Oh, wait:  “only open to law enforcement officers”?

…and for the curious:

The state has purchased five Daniel Defense DD5-P rifles chambered in .308 Winchester, fitted with scopes, suppressors and bipods, at a cost of more than $24,000.

Bipods and scopes… at 10 yards?  WTF?  I mean:

Seems like an awfully-complicated and expensive way just to whack a convicted murdering scumbag, but that’s Gummint all over, right?  I’m more of a traditionalist, in that I think the old “single bullet in the back of the neck” method would be just as effective, not to say much cheaper.

But no doubt someone’s going to have a problem with this.

Okay, all jokes aside:  I happen to be a supporter of the death penalty and execution of the worst of scumbags, as any Reader of this website will know full well.  The method of execution is irrelevant.

We’ve tried making it a kinder, gentler way of seeing off a scumbag by using the oh-so gentle lethal injection — following all sorts of issues with hanging, decapitation, electrocution and the gas chamber (itself an attempt to make killing someone less brutal).

Well, the injection thing has been cocked up so many times, and is so beset with difficulties in terms of lethal drug supply and so on, that Idaho has decided to go with what is surely the most effective method of execution:  gunfire.

Let’s not get squeamish about all this.  If you’re going to execute someone, it’s best to make it quick, simple and effective — something that the murderers probably didn’t afford their victims, by the way — and death by three .308 bullets to the heart is about as effective as any, short of another old way of using gunfire as punishment:

Effective, but loud and very messy (“Cleanup in lane 2!”).

Yeah, this is all very ghoulish and brutal and stuff, but just remember who’s on the chopping block here, being the worst of the worst:  child murderers, people who killed someone for a few dollars at a 7-11, men who raped and tortured women before murdering them, etc. etc.

These people do not deserve to live, so fuck ’em.  A .308 bullet to the heart is all they deserve.

Could-a, Should-a

Here’s one that got my right index finger twitching:

A Saudi Arabian asylum seeker activist has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering six people and injuring hundreds more at a Christmas market in Germany in 2024.

This week, the Magdeburg Regional Court handed down the maximum sentence to Taleb Al Abdulmohsen over an attack on the town’s Christmas market in which he used a rental car to plough into pedestrians, killing six, including a nine-year-old boy and five women. Over 300 more were left injured in the frenzied attack.

So far, so good — although a more fitting punishment would have been slow impalement — but here’s what got under my skin:

The Saudi Arabian native had arrived in Germany in 2006 and was granted asylum ten years later, despite warnings from Riyadh, Kuwait, and the United Kingdom over potential criminal acts.

…whereupon my feeling rage directed towards this asshole promptly transferred itself towards the Kraut officials who ignored those warnings and granted the lunatic asylum status.

So six people died and three hundred more people were injured as a result as a result of this foolishness.

Now read all about Citizen Vigilante.

Proportionate Response

See, here’s the kind of statement that makes me want to reach for the old nail-studded cluebat.  (I know I know, it’s a Brit ergo a fucking dumbass / ideologue, but I’ve heard the same drivel being spouted by our Lefty assholes Over Here.)

British Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has said that not all ethnic groups should be treated the same by police in the wake of the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, who died in police handcuffs after officers refused to believe he had been stabbed by a Sikh man.

Wait, it gets better:

Lammy, who also serves as the left-wing Labour Party government’s Justice Secretary, said that while the “starting point” should be equality before the law, it is not always appropriate to be treated “the same”, noting the disproportionate arrest rates of certain ethnic minority groups, such as Roma travellers [Gypsies] and black Britons.

…and as we all know, the reason that gypsies and Black Britons get disproportionately arrested is — wait for it — because they commit a disproportionate number of the crimes.

It stands to reason (except to people like this twerp) that if you go fishing in a pond where 80% of the fish are yellow-colored, you’re going to catch a disproportionate number of yellow fish.

I’d like to give tits like this Lammy the benefit of the doubt — i.e. that they’re just statistically ignorant — but the truth of the matter is that for them, everything is viewed through the RAAAYYYYYCISM! lens.

Which is what led to the horrible outcome for the Nowak kid, above.  (For those who don’t know what that story was all about, go here.)

Well, So Long Blondie

I guess DJT figured she just wasn’t working quickly enough to prosecute all the Obama/Biden-era bullshit that was heaped on him and all the rest of us.  And I have just the right person for the AG’s job:  me.

Yes I know I’m not a lawyer.  The DoJ’s got whole buildings full of ’em, and where’s that got anyone?

What the nation needs right now is someone to manage all these  assholes  legal eagles and get them pointed in the right direction:  and I’m just the right guy to do it.

Give me two things — okay, just one (I’ve got the 1911 thing all covered).  What I need is an industrial-strength cattle prod, the kind that shocks the bejeezus out of you with just a light touch, and renders you unconscious with any kind of prolonged touch.

Then let me loose in the DOJ, armed with that cattle prod and a copy of the U.S. Constitution, and watch me.  Even Tom Homan would get a little nervous around me.  And watch the ticket prices soar when Congress summons me to testify on some bullshit issue or another.  I’m talking standing room only, bubba.

I used to think I’d make a good Press Secretary.  But DJT’s got that covered with the other blondie, and she’s excellent.  Nah, I want a position that gets me to kick actual ass all over the room, and the DA’s job seems about right.

Now if I get the job, I don’t want y’all profiting from the announcement:  in other words, don’t buy shares in the textile companies that make them orange prison jump suits (if they’re still not all made in China).

The real fun will start when the Clintons and their ilk start looking for a friendly country to escape to.

Hey, it could happen.  [/Judy Tenuta]

Compendium Of Wrong

It’s difficult to imagine just how much more could have gone wrong in this situation:

Jay Conway, 33, was spotted dealing drugs by two plain-clothed officers in a park in May.

They tried to apprehend him but he got away before another uniformed officer, who was on patrol in a police car nearby heard a radio alert and took up the chase.

Dramatic bodycam footage shows brave Constable Dan Clayton hauling Conway off a stolen push bike, before pulling out his taser and ordering him to “Get on the floor now.”

But Conway, who was wearing a balaclava, ignores him and instead pulls a loaded pistol out of his sock.

Conway is immediately tasered but, as he falls to the ground, he points the gun directly at Constable Clayton, who can be heard shouting, “No, no” and “gun, gun, gun,” as he sprints for cover.

Of course, all my Murkin Readers are no doubt going “WTF?  Why didn’t the cop just shoot the asshole dead when he pulled the gun?”

If I were to tell you that this didn’t happen in the U.S. but in Britishland, then it all becomes clear.

Pro tip:  If a scrote points a gun at you, the correct response should be “Blam! Blam! Blam! [repeat as necessary] ” and not “No! No! No!”

If, however, your police force refuses to provide you with a “Blam! Blam! Blam!” option, perhaps you should reconsider your career choice.

Just sayin’.

Wait… No Backup?

Executive summary:  Dude robs a Brink’s truck, sets off speeding, gets his tires whacked by a spike strip, runs into a house to take hostages.  Hero cop hurtles into action, kicks down the door, empties his high-cap mag into the choirboy.  End of story.

No calls for backup, no dithering, just takes action and the story ends.

Frigging hero.
