Burning The Doors

From Longtime Friend and Reader Martin K.:

Martin adds:

“I am gravely disappointed at the Belgian law enforcement authorities: why do I not hear the musical sound of heavy police batons bouncing off the skull of this illegal migrant egg-fryer?”

I should point out that Martin is German — and given how often I slag off the Krauts, I am amazed that I have any German Readers at all, yet I have a few — but as a Longtime Reader, his rather poetic comment should come as no surprise.

I also suspect that at times his opinion of his compatriots may be even more scathing than mine.

Bitte schreib mir öfter, mein Freund.  (With the usual apologies for my horrible German.)

Getting The Blues

Okay, I never expected to see this:

Swarms of pigs have been found with neon blue skin after ingesting life-threatening pesticides.  

The electric blue-skinned hogs were first reported in Monterey County, California in March when trapper, Dan Burton, discovered several wild pigs with blue fat and muscle.  He told LA Times: “It’s wild. I’m not talking about a little blue. I’m talking about neon blue, blueberry blue.”

The feral swine are thought to have ingested the rat poison from dyed bait or feeding off other infected species.

Wow.  Assuming that all the above is true and not some cock-and-bull story cooked up by The Usual Suspects, I’m not at all sure how to comment.

I’ve never supported using poisoned bait to keep vermin under control, for the same reason that I don’t support fishing with explosives:  a bullet has one intended target, whereas both explosives and poison are simply labeled “To Whom It May Concern” — i.e. it’s indiscriminate targeting.

However:  there are two known facts extant.  The first is that wild pigs are becoming a pest on a national scale.  In Texas, you don’t need a permit to hunt them, and when you do there’s no bag limit, wild pigs being regarded as vermin.  Texas farmers not only allow pig-hunters on their property, they welcome them.

The second fact is that the state of California has the same regard for hunters as landowners have for vermin.  California, more than almost any other state, hamstrings the practice of hunting with all sorts of nonsensical regulations, even in the remotest parts of the state.  So landowners, not wanting to draw attention from the state’s feral bureaucrats and law enforcement, simply use other means to control the population — such as poison.

I’m not saying I agree with the practice, but I sure as hell understand it.

But that pic is still some kind of spooky, innit?

Fitting End

This headline was supposed to horrify me:

Executed murderer’s shocking final words before he was gassed to death as he gasped & thrashed in 19-minute ordeal

…but it had the opposite effect.  Why?

In 1994, he and three teenage friends killed and later mutilated Vickie DeBlieux, 37, as she hitchhiked through the state on the way to her mother’s home in Louisiana. His victim was hitchhiking from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to her mother’s home in West Monroe, when Grayson and his three pals offered her a ride.
Prosecutors said at the time the four teens took her into the woods where they attacked her and beat her to death. They later revisited the scene to cut her body 180 times, cutting off her fingers and removing a portion of her lung. Her beaten body was found at the bottom of a bluff near Odenville, Alabama on February 26.
A medical examiner testified that Vickie’s face was so fractured she was identified by an earlier X-ray of her spine.

I have only two regrets about this:  it took 30 years before this bastard was finally executed;  and his three psycho buddies inexplicably had their death sentences commuted to life imprisonment in 2005.  This should have been a four-of-a-kind grand slam.

Feel free to explain to me why justice should have been tempered by mercy.  It’s not going to work.

Proper Tactics

So the West gets more and more pissed off with the ragheads fucking with merchant ships off the coast of Arabland, and (amazingly) does something about it, i.e. bombing the rocket-launch sites:

Of course, the Muzzies are responding in typical fashion:

HARROWING images show gun-toting young children in the crowd as thousands took to the streets in Yemen to protest the joint UK and US airstrikes.

Supporters of the Iran-backed rebel group flocked to the streets of Sanaa chanting “America is the Devil” after the overnight blitzes.

And the predictable rent-a-crowd pics follow:

…which gives me an idea.

I like the idea of targeting the launch sites, of course, but it strikes me that it’s only a partial response to this nonsense.

What we ought to do is wait till the satellite pics show the crowds have gathered and are doing the shouty-burny thing, and then launch a couple of follow-up cruise missiles loaded with, I dunno, a daisy-cutter or two and drop them onto the crowd of smellies:

…and really give them  — or the survivors anyway — something to complain about.

Maybe that will shut these motherfuckers up, and make them think twice before playing their little reindeer-rocket games on the trade routes.  It’s worth a try, anyway.  They could hardly hate us more, n’est ce pas?

Unless, of course, we’re saving the cruise missiles and daisy-cutters for the Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

Recommended Action

I see that some double-murderer / illegal immigrant / prison escapee has now managed to break into a house and steal a gun.

Convicted 34-year-old killer Danelo Cavalcante escaped the Chester County, Pa., Prison on August 31 by crab-walking up a wall. In the last 13 days, the fugitive (who is also an illegal immigrant from Brazil) has been spotted by surveillance tapes and eyewitnesses; the most recent witness confronted the convict in his South Coventry Township home, stealing a .22 caliber rifle. The homeowner fired a pistol at Cavalcante, but there is no evidence of bodily injury.

Of course, warnings have been issued, schools closed etc. etc.

Conspicuously absent from all this is something I would certainly support:  a recommendation to shoot the bastard dead on sight.  Never mind all that calling the cops, seeking refuge and running away nonsense;  if you see him, kill him.

And a sizeable cash reward for doing so would certainly not be out of order, either.

For the benefit of all my Readers living in the affected and adjacent areas:

…or in Kim Terms:

And I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “vigilante justice”, “right to a fair trial”, “taking the law into your own hands” or anything of a similar nature.

If ever somebody needed killing, it’s this asshole.  Vermin, plain and simple, and should be dealt with as such.


Update:  Okay, he’s been recaptured.  Never mind.  They used dogs on him:

Easy Fix

just not in Britishland:

Giant rats the size of ‘small dogs’ have turned a street in Glasgow into a no-go zone for refuse workers.

Film has emerged of rodents running down children’s slides, scampering across lawns, feasting from bins and getting into fights with seagulls.

Chris Mitchell, GMB convenor for Glasgow’s cleansing workers [garbage men — K.] said some staff had needed hospital treatment after being bitten or scratched by rats in other areas of the city. Vermin infestations in Glasgow rose by 31 per cent from 2021 to 2022, with 10,323 reports.

Am I the only one who gets an itch in the index finger when reading about this stuff?

The way I see it, there are two decent options, both in .22 LR:


…loaded with .22 shot shells, as indicated.  Or, if you want to keep things quiet:

Of course, because the above rat problem is in Britishland, neither of the above is possible because stupid Brit gun laws.

That said, if the rats are getting into fights with seagulls (a.k.a. winged rats), there’s at least some entertainment value to be had, before whacking both.
