What If the Shooter Had Been Right Wing?

It Said Exactly What We Knew It Would Say
- Racial epithets toward a race she hated.
- Hopes to have a high death count.
- Knows it will be over quick.
- No plan of escape / or a plan to die in the act.
- Usually a young, intelligent male (this one was a bit of an exception in that she was female who thought herself male)
- Run-Hide-Fight doesn't work - only shooting the attacker works.
- They pick gun free zones that do not have visible security.
- There is a known connection with SSRI "medications." (Gender dysphoria patients are very often "treated" with SSRIs.)

It's Not Only Cops
Wednesday, November 1, 2023
You Must Ask Why
- Why, even though there are thousands of videos of police abusing citizens, are there only a handful of videos where a supervisor stops the abuse of rights, and corrects the subordinates?
- If police abuse of civil rights is "rare" or "the exception," then why do we have thousands of videos of such incidents?
- Why do we have dozens of channels on YouTube putting out multiple videos per week, with nearly zero overlap?
- If quotas are not a thing, why are we constantly being bombarded with news of departments around the nation getting caught enforcing them?
- If police are really trying to find the true perpetrator of crimes, why is it that over 20% of DNA exonerations have "confessions" of guilt? Police intimidation much?
- If you advise people to "not talk to police" (knowing full well that police don't even talk to police), why are you branded as "Anti-cop?"
- Why are there no videos available of "good" cops arresting bad cops?
- Why are there no videos of good cops stopping bad cops from violating people's rights?
- Why do 90% of the videos demonstrate officers having a power-trip?
- Why did none of the BLM vandals get arrested?
- Why did so many of the J6 protestors get arrested?
- Why does almost every cop / LEO get butthurt when you ask these questions?

Words of Wisdom
Came across these words of wisdom and figure to share them here:
1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to;
2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes.
3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner.
4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem;
5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public;
6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;
7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you. Besides, second opinion is good for an alternative;
8. Never interrupt people talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all;
9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and it shows how appreciative you're;
10. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.
11. Praise publicly. Criticize privately;
12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they want to talk about losing weight, they will;
13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next;
14. If a colleague tells you they have a doctors' appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, just say "I hope you’re okay". Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they'll do so without your inquisitiveness;
15. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed at how rude you can treat someone below you but people will notice if you treat them with respect;
16. If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone is rude;
17. Never give advice until you’re asked;
18. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age and salary;
19. Mind your business unless anything involves you directly - just stay out of it;
20. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. Moreso, eye contact is as important as your speech; and
21. Never talk about your riches in the midst of the poor. Similarly, don't talk about your children in the midst of the barren.
22. After reading a good message try to say "Thanks for the message".
23. APPRECIATION remains the easiest way of getting what you don't have....

To Rent or Not
- :Liquid" funds - when the rental needs to be extended, a credit card can be run again. Cash would simply run out.
- A person with good credit is far less likely to wreck a rental car.
- A person with good credit is far less likely to keep a rental too long and wind up owing money.
- A credit card number can be stored, and the card run for additional charges, should the rental go longer than originally anticipated. (over 75% of rentals went longer than anticipated, from my observations)
- A person with good credit and a credit card is more likely to be stable in residence history, and less likely to convert (steal) the rental car. A person putting down cash has just given you a few hundred dollars in exchange for a $25K+ car.
- And more...
- The average checking account in the US has $4000 in it. The average credit line is nearly $10,000 per card.
- A person with a debit card and no credit card would be lucky to have $200 in their account at any given time.
- A debit card is no measure of credit, but a person with a debit card and no credit card has a credit score that is under 620 over 90% of the time.
- People that have a debit card and no credit card are not intelligent enough to understand these things.

The Strangest Things
Insomnia. It strikes us all at some point. Laying in bed late Friday evening / early Saturday morning. As my son graduated high school less than a week ago, I, too, have been nostalgic from my high school days. Recollections of a friend.
That friend introduced me to the song Straight to Hell by Drivin' N' Cryin' circa 1990. So I look up the song on YouTube. Listen to it. Look for covers, not expecting anything, but I'm always up for a good cover of a song. And what do I find?
Darius Rucker of all people not only covered this song, but also made a video. Say all you want about some of the performers he chose to do the video with. The cover was excellent.
And that reminds me of the time I met Darius Rucker, when delivering a rental car to his road manager at Lowe's Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville back in 2005. He was pleasant to speak with and seemed genuinely impressed that I:
1. Did not nerd-out when meeting him, and
2. Knew him by name and called him "Darius Rucker" instead of "Hootie." (A reference to Hootie and the Blowfish)
Rucker actually stated that so many people didn't realize that was a band name, and not his nickname.
Man, the places your mind can go at 2:30 am.

The March That Wasn't
- There were no Left-Wing counter-protestors.
- Where was the police presence?
- Why weren't members of this group arrested?
- Where were the fat guys?
