When Fine Sentiments Kill

Here’s one that got my teeth chattering with rage:

The man who has become the face of the many brave deeds by everyday Australians during the Bondi Beach attack has revealed why he didn’t shoot back at the gunmen.

Ahmed Al Ahmed, 43, skyrocketed to worldwide fame after he risked his life when he wrestled a firearm from mass shooter Sajid Akram on December 14.

Police alleged Sajid and his son, Naveed Akram, opened fire on a Jewish festival celebrating the first night of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach.

Police fatally shot Sajid and wounded Naveed, bringing an end to the horrific attack, but not before 15 innocent people had been gunned down and dozens more injured.

At one point during the attack, Mr Ahmed snatched a gun from Sajid and pointed it back at him. He refused to shoot, despite having been shot five times himself.

Wait:  you disarm a guy who’s been shooting and killing total strangers, and instead of shooting the bastard dead with his own gun, you… let him go?

While in New York he was asked why he didn’t shoot when he had the weapon pointed at the gunman.

Yeah, I was kinda wondering that myself.

He said he didn’t pull the trigger because he was not seeking revenge. 

‘I didn’t shoot him because I was doing it as humility, to stop him to kill more innocent human beings,’ he said, adding that he was also not concerned for his safety, but rather the people at the beach. 

I hate to say this, you absolute schmuck, but letting him go simply allowed him to get another gun and shoot more people.

Your self-righteous “humility” came at the expense of more victims.

Let me tell you:  a guy shoots me half a dozen times or whatever, I somehow survive and get hold of his (still-loaded) gun… guess what happens next?

If you guessed “the asshole’s brains are suddenly exposed to the open air and parts thereof become fertilizer for the lawn he’s standing on”, get a gold star and collect your prize at the door on the way out.

“Oh no, I’m too good for revenge” my aching African-America ass.

I need to stop now before I get really upset.

Yeah, We All Knew That A Long Time Ago

From here:

Many people have noticed that agitators in Minneapolis are well-organized, sporting identical whistles, vests, and signs.

Is this a grassroots organic movement? Of course not.

Let’s take a look at the organizers and sponsors.

…and then follows a listing of the Usual Suspects:  Tides Foundation, Open Society Foundation, a whole bunch of other front organizations and… U.S. taxpayers.

The real question is this:  how in the name of goodness has George Soros not had his U.S. citizenship yanked, his money confiscated and been exiled to [insert your favorite destination here] ?

Range time?  I think so.

Taking A Hike

Okay, given that most  advertising shows  EeewChoob videos seem to be A.I. creations, treat this video with the usual circumspection because I don’t know how much of it is true and how much just cheap sensationalism.  (When I look up “Clarkson” and “Bill Gates” together, the video seems to be the only source — yeah, call me cynical and suspicious.  On the other hand, Clarkson hasn’t repudiated the report yet — something he’s never slow to do if it’s a load of crap, so maybe there’s actually something to it.)

All that said, if this item is indeed true, then it would seem that the Greatest Living Englishman has managed to resist the advances of the dreadful billionaire Bill Gates (purveyor of shit software since the 1960s).

As to what Gates is trying to do by buying thousands upon thousands of acres of British agricultural land:  your guess is as good as mine.  But given the Seattle dwarf’s track record, it can’t be A Good Thing.

And harking back to the previous post, it seems as though for every decent billionaire (e.g. Elon Musk), there seem to be too many scumbags like Gates and George Soros.

Classic Beauty: Dorothy Lamour

When you started off as a singer for a big band, got into movies but couldn’t really act;  your whole movie career started when you wore a sarong, and it pretty much became your trademark… how do you break out of it?

Who cares?  Dorothy Lamour did it with Hope and Crosby in The Road To… series, and really, that was all it took.  That, and extraordinary beauty.

And, as promised:

By the way, Dorothy was a staunch Republican and supporter of Ronald Reagan.
