RECCE ROOM

The "JBT" entries this week got me thinking about a recent interaction with an acquaintance who is former LEO. We were speaking to a mutual friend, when the subject of what to say to police came up. I pointed out the 45-minute long YouTube video of old that bears the title of the same concept, how anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, and how the rules of evidence (specifically Rule 804) mean that nothing you say can become exculpatory.  As a professional firearms instructor, we go over what to say to police in classes. It basically boils down to three statements: 1. At the advice of counsel I do not answer any questions and invoke my 5th Amendment right.  2. I need to speak with my attorney immediately.  3. I do not consent to any searches.  4. I need to get a medical evaluation (after a shooting or other violent incident).  These four statements are almost universally heralded by the legal community as court defensible, and what ...

Did you ever notice??? The only people who say you should talk to police: SOME Current / former police People who do not know whereof they speak.  The people who say do not talk to police: MANY current / former police MOST (if not all) criminal defense attorneys.  People who have seen the harm of talking to police.  Also, those who advocate speaking to police almost always cite one or more of the reasons: It "pisses off" the officer.  You "might" get out of the ticket.  You don't want to seem "disrespectful."  Asserting rights is something that must always be done, regardless of someone's FEELINGS (i.e. "disrespect" / "pissed off" ) on the matter. It is always more important to retain all your rights rather than give them up.  In this author's mind, please note that Criminal Defense Attorneys almost universally suggest not speaking with police. These people, more than any other, have witnessed firsthand what happens w...

Some people shitpost online. Places like Reddit, 4Chan, ar15.com, and the like. Here are some fun ones seen in the wild, and translations into normal, honest English.  Posted online: "I met the owner of this company at the range once. He genuinely seemed like a pretty nice and decent guy. He also, as far as I know, has zero military experience or actual training beyond maybe taking some courses similar to what he now teaches. After realizing that I decided those courses probably weren’t for me." Translated into normal, honest English: That's a lot of words to say "I won't pay for a class because I know how to shoot ™" Posted online: "I will not take a class from someone that is not physically fit." Translated into normal, honest English: You used too many words, Skippy. You could have just stopped with "I will not take a class." That would have been honest.  Posted Online: "Most of their qualifications are entry level BS" Trans...

Seen on social media: The Capitol Police on in January 6th:  Planted the pipe bombs .  Shot and tear gassed peaceful protesters in efforts to agitate them.  Removed barriers and literally waived people to go towards the Capitol building.  Opened giant magnetic doors from the inside to allow people in the building.  Shot and killed an unarmed female veteran (the only person that was killed this day).  Lied about all of this.  Also lied about the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died of natural causes.  Became celebrities that received Congressional and Presidential awards for their “efforts.”  Am I missing anything? What say you? 

From a Far Left wing source, " Why is it that every time Republicans lose an election they always claim it was stolen? " Oh, I don't know... it might be because: 2020 Never has there ever been a Democrat win for State Governor, US Senator, or US President in a state that mandates federal ID to vote. And only a handful of US Congressmen wins.  2024 - Charlie Kirk and TPUSA monitored voting locations known for shenanigans from 2020, and prevented illegal votes. This proves 2020 all over again.  Far Left Wing so-called " fact checkers " state that "there is no evidence" that the Trump victory is tied to voter ID laws.  Or, to put it another way: There are no "Red States and Blue States;" there are simply states that require Federal ID to vote, and states that do not require Federal ID to vote (intentionally to allow cheating).  And the results match perfectly. There is no irony here. Some would say correlation does not equal causation. But causa...

A Tennessee Sheriff has arrested a man who posted a meme.  What in the United Kingdom is this $h!t??? As a reminder: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Amendment 1 - US Constitution.  The Leftists will say this is Rightwing Fascism. They will be correct.  If you read the article and/or listen to the interview with the JBT, it does not get any better. The JBT twists and turns things to mean that the meme was an attempt to threaten a school shooting. I dislike the Left as much as anybody, but I cannot warp my mind around that one.  What say you?
