Your Home Is Not a Free Fire Zone

Not even if you are confronting bad guys. Augusta teen car burglar booked, homeowner still charged with shooting him - The Augusta Press

Investigators say homeowner Antonio Davis, 49, reported seeing three masked individuals targeting his black 2019 Mercedes-Benz. Davis told deputies he retrieved a firearm and opened fire as the suspects fled, striking Mosley in the leg.

The key part of that statement is, "as the suspects fled."

In most places in the US, you can only use deadly force to defend against imminent threat of death or grave bodily injury. You cannot use deadly force if people are running away.

The homeowner was charged with aggravated assault.

Electric Buses Sit in Landfill

This was completely foreseeable. Local 10 examines why expensive electric buses sit in disrepair in Miami-Dade, Broward

Ninety-six million dollars’ worth of electric buses sit idle across South Florida, some parked in a landfill, others lined up at the Homestead Air Reserve Base.

n Miami-Dade County, commissioners are demanding answers.

In Broward County, officials are working with the federal government on a plan to get rid of them.

That is a lot of money.

Miami-Dade Transit confirms 69 Proterra buses were purchased at a cost of $61.8 million, including federal, state, and local surtax funding.

The electric fleet was "unveiled" in 2023. If you spent that much on diesel buses, you could have gotten about 3 times as many, and they would have lasted 10 years. Or more.

The buses had repeated problems, broke down all the time, and the Proterra went out of business.

Now the problem is how to scrap them, because they represent a toxic waste problem. This bit is from Broward County, Florida, just north of Miami-Dade, County.

Thirty-one electric buses are currently sitting in a remote section of a landfill off U.S. 27, each one costing roughly $1.1 million.

And Proterra buses are not the only ones giving Broward County, problems. They bought from 2 other manufacturers, and those buses don't work either.

In Miami-Dade, County, the buses are parked at the Homestead Air Reserve Base.

And because your tax dollars paid for part of all those buses, by way of federal grants, scraping them before the "approved lifespan" is over is a bureaucratic nightmare.

Click thru for all the details.

This is the MGUY Australia video UNBELIEVABLE electric bus GRAVEYARD (they're broken...). He gets the hat tip for this insanity.

I'm old enough to remember when we were told electric vehicles were simpler than internal combustion, and would last longer and be cheaper to maintain.

Seven Days

There are not many songs in what you would call Popular Music that are in 5/4 time. A few. Today's song is one of them. This was pointed out on social media recently.

This song is "Seven Days" by Sting, from his 1993 album Ten Summoner's Tales.

Patrick ‘Tate’ Adamiak Is a Political Prisoner

The Gun Writer brings us the following: How you can help free Patrick ‘Tate’ Adamiak

Things are moving very well in our efforts to free Patrick “Tate” Adamiak from prison, but we need your help.

We need letters—tons of letters—that explain why President Donald J. Trump should pardon Adamiak.

There is a long list of reasons that he should be pardoned. Here are a few:

1. He was investigated and prosecuted by Joe Biden’s ATF.
2. He did nothing wrong.
3. Nothing ATF found in his home was illegal.
4. He had no criminal record.
5. He was an active-duty U.S. Navy sailor.

Click thru for the rest.

At the bottom of that article, there is a link to a bunch of articles on Adamiak.

Amazon Driver Defends Himself from Dog Attack

From 11Alive in Atlanta we get the following story. Amazon driver kills neighbor's dog after it attacked him in metro Atlanta neighborhood: deputies

I'm sure a lot of people will be upset by this because they are not rational about dog attacks.

The driver reported the dog was off its runner when it approached and attempted to bite him. Deputies said the driver then shot and killed the dog, according to the Coweta County Sheriff's Office.

The cops are treating it like self-defense.

Coweta County, Georgia, is about a 35 mile drive southwest of downtown Atlanta.

I know that Amazon drivers don't actually work for Amazon. They work for a contracting firm, or maybe it is multiple contracting firms. Does anyone know if Amazon has a policy about drivers being disarmed?

The UK and France Are Ready to Jump on the Bandwagon

William Teach at Pirate's Cove has an update on our "allies" and their ability (or lack thereof) to aid with war. LOL: Starmer And Macron Try To Stay Relevant With Post-War Strait Of Hormuz Shipping Plan

Yeah, so, once the United States gains control of the Strait and eliminates all naval and land dangers from Iran, which we mostly have, these weenies think they can waltz in and provide security? Hell, they can barely project sea power now, despite the size of their navies, France ranked 8, UK 9. Most EU navies are for defense of nation only, not for deploying power. Italy, Germany, and Spain are the only other top 20, and they cannot project power. France with 1 aircraft carrier and Britain with 2 aren’t exactly powers. They, like Canada, pretty much rely on the United States.

Because The Media Can't Use the Term, "Gang Violence"

The Other McCain has the details. ‘Several Young Individuals’: At Least Two Dead in North Carolina Mass Shooting

Euphemisms are amazing, aren’t they? Perhaps you can think of some other phrases that would be more helpful in describing the likely participants in the situation that “escalated” into a mass shooting Monday morning at Leinbach Park in Winston-Salem, North Carolina:

The AP is calling it a "Mass shooting" because several people were shot, which I suppose makes the term technically correct. When most people think of "Mass Shooting" they think of targeted attacks on schools, malls, or other soft targets. What is often described as terror. What most people don't think of is gang activity.

So what happened?

Police said the shooting escalated from a planned fight between “two young individuals.” During the brawl, several people “began shooting at each other,” resulting in “multiple victims,” according to officers.

Maybe I'm being harsh, and these two upstanding members of the choir were not associated with a gang, and none of the other people, who were armed, were associated with a gang. Maybe I'm being harsh, but I don't think so.

You can't fix a problem, if you cannot describe the problem accurately.

Judgement Day

Relatives of Dead People Don't Like Self-defense

Self-defense is becoming quite the thing in the Windy City. Chicago Homeowner Shoots Intruder Who Charged at Him in Middle of Night, Family Says Man Had Alzheimer's - USA Carry

A late-night encounter inside a South Deering home ended with a 62-year-old man shot dead after he entered the residence and charged at the homeowner, Chicago police said.

South Deering, which is located on Chicago's far South Side, is the largest of the 77 official neighborhoods community areas in the city. It is only a mile from the Indiana state line. It isn't clear how the guy got from Harvey, Illinois, to South Deering, Chicago, as that is about 10 miles by car.

As for the family... Family of man with Alzheimer's shot, killed after entering wrong home in South Deering demand answers

A family is demanding justice after they say a Harvey man who has Alzheimer's disease was shot and killed this week when he mistakenly went into the wrong residence on the South Side.

He presented as a threat, and was dealt with. I realize that this is a tragedy, but your feelings are not a basis for a legal proceeding.

No one wins in a situation like this, as Luke McCoy at USA Carry points out:

The tragedy here is real on both sides. A family lost a loved one who may not have been acting with criminal intent. A homeowner made a split-second decision he will likely carry for the rest of his life. Alzheimer’s and other cognitive conditions can cause a person to believe they are in their own home, and in some cases to act as though they are confronting an intruder themselves. That possibility cannot change the calculus for a homeowner who has no way of knowing what is happening in the moment.

The Chicago Police have not arrested the homeowner, and the Cook County State's Attorney is not calling for charges. It is early in the investigation.

80 Tonnes of Lithium-ion Batteries Burn in Australia

This is the StacheD Training video Perth's Battery Recycling Fire: 80 Tons of Lithium-ion Batteries

Someone described dropping off a swollen lithium-ion battery at that collection facility and staff told them just to throw it in with all the other batteries. When they pushed back and asked if they're sure, all they got was a frustrated look and the staff turned their back on them. Not a great situation. A swollen lithium-ion battery is one of the clearest visible warning signs you could get.

The video is just a bit over 5 minutes. Stache is a fire fighter, and a trainer. His videos concentrate on the issues firefighters face today, and a lot of them today deal with lithium-ion batteries, and what happens when things goe wrong.

The hat tip goes to MGUY Australia and his video Lithium ion battery fire sends MASSIVE PLUME of toxic smoke over Aussie suburb

A news article form The Western Australian: Smoke warning for Perth suburb after fire at recycling centre storing lithium-ion batteries

The Department of Fire and Emergency Services warned people in the area to remain inside with windows and doors closed and air conditioners off due to potentially hazardous smoke in the area.

A Gun of Her Own Author Talks to Professor Yamane

This is a long conversation, and probably not for everyone, as it skews heavily toward the academic perspective. That said, I found it interesting. Q&A with "A Gun of Her Own: The Everyday Lives of Women Who Shoot" Author Margaret Kelley

Welcome to this Q&A with Margaret Kelley, author of the new book, A Gun of Her Own: The Everyday Lives of Women Who Shoot.

As you will see in the course of this hour-long discussion, this is a very special book and Professor Kelley is a special author.

While it is an hour long, you don't really need to watch it, as it is just a conversation/conference call. I keep these kinds of things on in the background, while I am doing other things. As I said, I found it interesting. Most of it anyway.

The video is at the link above, or at Virtual Book Club Discussion of Women and Guns with Author Margaret Kelley (Light Over Heat #154)

One of the statements that Margaret Kelley made, which I appreciated, is that she is tired of people dismissing others whenever they have a different opinion. Both sides do it, and both sides accuse the other side of doing it, though I will readily admit that the main push of Cancel Culture is currently coming from the Left. I'm old enough to know that it hasn't always been that way. Or why was there a Free Speech movement on UC Berkley's campus, back in the day? ("How the turntables, have ...")

The video is an hour, but there isn't much to see. I do recommend listening.

Six Years to Replace Infrastructure

On May 19th, 2020, during a storm, the Edenville dam in Michigan failed. It was a Tuesday evening. The flood waters caused the Sanford Dam to fail on the 20th.

After a lot of finger pointing, and at least one lawsuit, it was decided to rebuild those 2 dams, and repair/upgrade two more that were also impacted by the storm but did not fail.

Refilling of Sanford lake began on April 15th.

This is Jordan Mowbray's video Final Test COMPLETE… Sanford Lake Refill Starts in DAYS! - Drone -Dam Collapse

When the plans were first announced to rebuild the dams, I was disappointed that they would not be hydroelectric generators, but that would have made permitting more complicated. They are only for flood control, and creating recreational lakes.

Amazon is Keeping Project Hail Mary in Theaters

Taking it out of theaters right now would be a bad business decision. Project Hail Mary Won't Be on Streaming Anytime Soon

Audiences who have grown used to films rushing from theaters to PVOD may be in for a surprise. Project Hail Mary is not going to be streaming anytime soon. The surprise blockbuster’s theatrical performance has apparently encouraged Amazon MGM Studios to extend its theatrical exclusivity.

The ailing theater industry is happy, and MGM is even putting the film back in IMAX this week.

Click thru for the details.

Theaters have been crushed by the insanity of the past 5 or 10 years. Woke movies that half the population won't see. COVID lockdowns. Strikes. Even more movies that no one wants to see.

But the current lineup in cinemas proves that people will go to the theater, if you give them a reason. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie movie isn't for me, but it is on its way to making a billion dollars at the box office. Project Hail Mary has made over $500 million and will probably make over $600 when all is done. Even the Creepy Pasta movie, Exit 8 is making money, and it isn't even in wide release. The fact that it is in Japanese isn't helping.

It is at this point I always feel it necessary to mention that studios don't get all of the box office. It turns out that movie theaters don't show movies for free. Theaters get roughly half the gate. The exact figures are different in North America, than in Europe and Asia, and China has its own deal, where studios only get about 25% of the Chinese box office.

If you want details on that, for any movie you're interested in, I suggest this article from a few years ago by Odin of OMB Reviews, that was published at Geeks & Gamers: How to Break Down Box Office. He covers everything from budgets, estimated marketing spend, split between theaters and studios, accounting for the differences across markets, etc.

Self-Defense Is Legal, Even in California

There are still going to be some weapons charges. DA calls Natomas High shooting ‘self-defense,’ declines charges

The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday, April 14 said the shooting was an act of self-defense during an attempted robbery. The DA’s office said two people who were not students at Natomas High went onto campus looking for a specific student. One of them was wearing a ski mask and carrying a handgun. Prosecutors said the pair approached a student and tried to rob him. During that encounter, the targeted student, who was also carrying a handgun, shot and killed one of them. Prosecutors said there is not enough evidence and have declined to file homicide charges, though the shooter will be charged with various weapons charges. They said the third person involved will be charged in juvenile court with attempted robbery.

They are starting to get it.

60,000 Deaths from the COVID Vaccine in Germany?

From Peter Sweden we get the following: BOMBSHELL: Former Pfizer head toxicologist WARNING about covid vaccines

The man formerly responsible for testing toxicity of medicines at Pfizer warns of up to 60 000 deaths from covid vaccines in Germany.

The phrase, "up to," is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. In other articles, the numbers quoted were between 20,000 and 60,000.

Don't expect this to be covered by the legacy media. The narrative must be protected.

This is absolutely groundbreaking news. Yet I have not seen this being reported extensively in the mainstream media at all.

In fact, this news is so big that it should have warranted headline news WORLDWIDE. But it hasn’t.

Gluten Free IPA

Several years ago, I discovered that I needed to remove gluten from my diet. That is harder than it sounds, as gluten is added to everything. The local supermarket chain adds it to their house-brand coleslaw and potato salad in the form of "modified food starch." I guess it is even cheaper than corn starch as a thickening agent.

As you can imagine, this created a problem when it came to beer, which is a wheat or barley product. The early brands available convinced me to drink hard cider, and whisky on those occasions when people were drinking.

This week I'm back on the Stone Delicious Double IPA. The regular Stone Delicious IPA is easy to find, but of the 3 they are still producing, it is my least favorite. Their gluten free gluten reduced^‡ Hazy IPA is my favorite. Which ever one you try, the one thing Stone gets right, is the head on GF beer and ale. Some of it comes out of the can or bottle looking like apple cider. Stone holds a proper head. (Though the image I picked from the website doesn't show that.)

‡ Some of the beer and ale are brewed with gluten free ingredients. Quite of few of them add an enzyme to remove gluten at some point during the whole process. That 2nd option is what Stone does, but they can't claim to be gluten free, even though they meet the Celiac organization's metrics.
