The Lord helps those... [ Thu May 23 2013 1:56 PM ]
... who help themselves? A guy at a church in South Africa drove off AK and RPG armed terrorists w his little snub nosed revolver. Jean Assam stopped a shooter at her church in CO. "If you do not have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one." Si vis pacem, para bellum? Yada, yada, yada... and don't forget to keep 'em away from your crazy kids when they aren't doing the lord's work, or they may end up doing the devil's work instead. Last edited [5/23/13 2:06 PM]

I watched a spider build a web from scratch, start to finish one day. Classic orb weaver. About half way through a fly got stuck in the web, and the spider went over a wrapped it up where it was at, then continued w the rest of the web. When it was done, it went to the center and started plucking strands w it's legs. On one pluck the wrapped fly shook, and the spider went out and got it, brought it back to the center for dinner.
Stop and ID/Frisk? [ Wed Jan 30 2013 11:12 AM ]
That's pretty much SOP in NYC now, at least in the high crime neighborhoods. They just look different when they do it (no rifles and SWAT gear). It has reduced crime drastically. It has drawn some complaints for not being "fair". IOW, mostly minorities are stopped. Since mostly minorities are committing the violent crimes w guns in NYC, and the high crime areas are populated mostly by minorities, fair would not be as efficient. IOW, if you stopped the same number of people w a "fair" cross section city wide, you would find fewer illegal guns and prevent fewer crimes. If you stopped as many more in low crime areas, you would double the work load w minimal benefit. But it would make a lot of people feel better about it. |
