A Trip To Walmart For A Blackout BlackFriday Look

   First let me start with a little on me, and my views if you  don't already know them. I am a 44 year young white guy . I support Gun Owner rights, and am a life long gun owner, and hunter. I believe in responsible retail of guns, and gun related products. I believe that any retailer should be able to sell these items so long as they conduct themselves in accordance with the laws of the state the retail site is in. Privet sales from person to person should as well comply with those rules . I don't think we need a list of registered guns available for buglers to use in finding houses to break into and put more guns on the streets. I believe open and conceal carry is a right and needs no permit . This is yet another list for crooks use to find guns to steal and sell. 
  Now all that said lets talk retailer responsibility and how some retailers prove the anti-gun lobby right .  I took my son to the Walmart located in Canal Winchester Ohio on black Friday. He has a prepaid cellphone from strait talk and wally world is the only retail location to buy airtime cards. I caught hell from friends in the protest crowd over this. The only purchase made was the phonecard needed so he could text his girlfriend. 
  I myself am known for supporting Mike Brown, and John Crawford for months now. My Support Tamir Rice is growing as well, and this trip to Walmart added fuel to my fire . Nationwide organizations put out the word to "blackout blackfriday at Walmart" for their choice to fund the D.wilson defense in his upcoming  wrongful death case in the Brown killing. Union organizations joined the cause as well over wallly worlds proven track record of neglect for employees rights and low pay from our nations number one employer. 
  What I seen in this store was everything that is wrong with this store and its sales of gun related items. You would think If a man was killed, in one of your stores less than 70 miles away, for carrying an item picked up off of your shelf's you might want to pull the item for a while. This location put it on a
lower shelf. If a child was shot in a park, for playing with an airsoft pistol purchased at another Walmart 85 miles, away that one might need put away as well . This store had them on sale for under 15 bucks just two weeks latter. With child & gun related anger all over the country right here and
now at a peak this behavior is disturbing . I wish it ended with that, but this is Walmart. In an attempt to overfill the store with toys for blackfriday they filled the walk way full of baby dolls,action figures,and other toys that target small kids right past the outdoors department . On the end caps of the outdoors department more BB guns that look like big people guns. The massive display of buck-knives , axes, and machetes  placed in the walkway next to the toys was a mind blower as well .
  Me being who I am I took pictures. I tweeted those pics. and my phone went nuts. One of the employees who was working on her brown  nosier  badge seen me and called for a manager. I was followed to the checkout lines. If we as responsible gun owners do not call out this kind of lack in retail responsibility we are as guilty as the retailers.
  Its clear with the placement that this is a target on child sales. Wally world has a team of retail brainiacs that design floor layouts and item placement . They call them floor plans and sheets get sent to all locations telling them where the items need to be placed for sales. What Idiot thought this was a good retail plan? Is this type of target sales what a retail giant should be doing? I played cowboys and Indians as a kid too but in those days the guns came from the toy department not the outdoors department. I can promise you that after this trip none of my Christmas purchases will come from any Walmart .

Note to Law Enforcement

   America is fed up with hearing how dangerous your job is . You make your own drama in this land most people know that . Its not the few criminals that you may confront in the course of your carrier that makes the job dangerous . Its you that makes it so . communities no longer trust you and consider you to be bullies and thugs . Your own actions made it so . You have lost the right to claim that you are the one good cop left . Good cops don't let bad cops act like criminals . Indifference is a disease and a plague on society . That is our opinion of the "Blue Shield Of Silence" you hide your dirty cohorts behind . The fact that we have to accept that police set the rules and enforce the rules you play by with no outside independent advisers is a mockery of justice . Entrapment and intimidation are your primary tools . At one time those tactics were not just frowned upon but illegal . You live far from the streets you patrol and convert to your own personal war zones . This damages our communities that at one time had the officers that patrolled as members of the community . The big push now is for wartime weaponry and combat uniforms . That will make the average citizen feel comfortable to speak with you I'm sure . Fix your problems before taking on new things or trying to fix others is some well known advise . Now let me offer you a few tips from the people to help.
   Step one is always owning up to your problems . This can not happen in your office filth and corruption flows down from top . Your superiors have put guards in place to keep things quiet and relieve them of any blame . If you follow chain of command nothing gets fixed . You know this it was most likely what put you on the path of indifference . I would suggest you contact a member of the legal aid society in your general area or an activist lawyer . These guys can protect you and your job as you expose the dirty cops in your own department . No act of corruption or abuse is too small . Every single act leads to the next act and combined can make for a big issue . They will know the proper channels to file complaints with your states attorney generals office or if needed the proper federal offices . In most of these cases you may even be protected and able to remain anonymous . The hard part of that is keeping a straight face around those you expose till they can be removed from duty .  This is step one its the big one and all the others will be made simple after its started . Others will come forward after one truly honest and good man steps up to start the show .
   Step two quit making our streets out to be warzones . This one is easy but will carry the most weight with those you serve . Not every traffic stop is an excuse to pull a gun,tazer,of pepper spray .
Every car on the road is filled with people not perps. If you wish to be respected then you must show respect as well . This is all simple stuff we all learned as kids on the play ground . I had a lead foot in my younger days so yes I speak from experience in traffic stops . I remember the bad cops that stopped me I see their faces as if it was yesterday . The officers just doing a job in a proper manner I am happy to say I remember the stop not the man . Thats what a police encounter is about what the citizen did . If you make the stop about you you don't stop the person from
doing it again but you do insure that person will never aid you or your comrades .
    Kill the combat dress on duty its not necessary . If you want to be a swat officer go join swat . If you applied and was rejected try harder or fix what prevented you from being successful . If you are just not swat material then dressing for the part and acting like a jerk is a sign that you are the exact problem I speak of . The dumbest thing ever in law enforcement was to allow the average cop to dress for combat . You proved all the critics right in a short period of time . You may not be the jerk but you know who he is and his behavior reflects on you . This guy needs to be put in check daily his actions can get you killed . Just ask Erick Frein we all know what happened the night he snapped . This dress is what created the modern day thug cop . I dont care if you want to rock boots instead of shoes . You might even want slacks or a golf shirt all are options . Just mix it up a bit if you dress for war you encourage war . Ask some of your fellow officers from department that still require traditional uniforms the public respects them just a little more .
   My negative opinions of law enforcement is not just a fad . I am not just jumping on a bandwagon for a quick trip to the next distraction . As I mentioned above have been stopped and detained more times than I can count . The funny part is I at one time wanted to be a cop . I took the test and nailed it and was on the list for the next class . Two days after I received the good news about the test my family and I were on our way home from dinner with the inlaws lights came on and I got pulled over . I gave my papers and ID to the cop and he informed me that I was stopped for no tail lights at all . I told him that I
had just checked them and was on the academy list and he said if I wanted I could look while he ran my info . I bent over and looked at the rear of the car the officer behind me now yells "don't move put your hands on the car do it do it now or ill blow your ass away " So I did and as I did I looked over my shoulder to see his gun about a foot from the side of my head . I asked " ok what the fuck did I do ? calm down i'm not doing anything what the fuck did I do ?" He informed me I had a concealed weapon that he seen as I bent around the car . I told him he was fuckin nuts and he  grabs my belt and says I seen your holster while he yanks my coat over my head to expose my lock back pocket knife in a leather case attached to my belt . He say "Oh dear im sorry I thought it was a gun" I said nothing as I came up off of the car . He gave me back all my papers and apologise three more times . I just asked if we were done ? He said yes and I turned and got into my car and left without another word . My wife was still shaking the kids crying we did not speak the rest of the way home . The first thing I did after walking in the door is call the number for the recruiting officer assigned as my contact . Late saturday night I left a message to remove me from the list and not to call me back . He called monday anyway and asked why I sounded angry and what had happened that I no longer wanted to go to the academy ? I told him what had happened and the guy tried to justify it and explain that that was why they needed guys like me . He kept my name on the list and left six or seven messages that I never replied to . My opinion was permanently changed and remains so today.
   Its not my responsibility to change my opinion of cops . It is the duty of all cop to make sure this kind of stuff stops happening . You cant be the great protector and the mass killers responsible for the deaths of an unarmed citizen every twenty eight hours . The only persons who can change those numbers are you .

If we lose in Ferguson what's the real cost in America

    I know that most of America considers the story of Mike Brown and Darren Wilson to be a case of a black thug who attacked a cop and got killed . That is how the story was spun in the news as most of America learned of it . The problem is that we have all forgot that national media serves government first society second and the people third . We don't remember the little known fact that if a news agency refuses to cooperate in the system they get left behind on the next story .
   Most of America never seen the pictures and images of officer Wilson after the shooting still standing in the street giving his accounting of the events . What we do remember is all the feelers played out on the national networks . We remember the video of an alleged robbery of a convenience store . Little remember or have seen the full footage that appears to show Brown paying for the Items he was accused of stealing . We don't remember or know that the clerk at the store reversed himself and said he was not sure if he was robbed . We do remember the images of the store being looted and burnt to the ground. We see the images of the police standing their ground and
preventing a riot . We don't see the signs two blocks away informing the crowd where the approved assembly area is . We see the footage captured by news crews all lined up in a McDonald's parking lot . We don't see the same reporters being shot with teargas and rubber bullets for filming in the wrong direction or out of the approved area . We see an angry mob yelling and throwing water bottles at helpless police officers . We don't see activists three blocks away working with the community on legislation . We never hear about the church that feeds and provides first aid to protesters and reporters injured by the police . We hear how the KKK says they are willing to come in and clean it all up . We also hear that the Black Panthers have threatened every white person in the area if the verdict is bad. We don't hear about the Blacks,Whites,Indians,and Latinos Busting their asses to hold it together to prevent the race war that the government wants . We are just now learning about the troops massing at sites all over the state . The state has also held all of its law enforcement agencies on alert for weeks now . Federal agencies including the FBI,NSA,FEMA, and Homeland Security Have all dispatched large and well armed teams . New offices for all agencies have popped up all over St.Louis .  The story of ammunition and equipment has been leaked by whistleblowers and hackers . You won't hear about that on the
news because it would only prove the dark secret of whats really going on in Ferguson .
   We have all seen the ramp up to convert our nation into a police state . If you can not acknowledge the information above and the push to militarize every police force in America , Then I suggest you quit reading this now and go play a cat video on youtube . This is the first piece in the puzzle a reason and a way to finally get it done . This has been the goal since NDAA was originally penned . This is the excuse to end the posse comitatus . The agency Homeland Security and the TSA where both created to bridge the gap from Military to law enforcement . So to be blunt the right tools have been brought to the right place and they just need anyone to pick a fight .
   The next piece is what is missing now from the war chest they always have had to fall back on . Its Race and sexual orientation plain and simple . The Millennium generation that now exceeds baby boomers in numbers took this away from government . Millenniums just don't care about race the way past generations did . Being Gay,Bi,or Trans is all good and go get married if you want . They freely date and marry regardless of skin color or religion . The government has reports on the numbers and cross dating as well as LGBT stats that confirm this so get over it and go google it if you dont want to take my word for it . This makes for a big propaganda mess how can the old divide and conquer trick work if no one buys it . This is why the race card is being thrown with every story . Both sides are equally to blame because both sides keep buying into it . This has been the best population manipulation tool for most of our nation short life . It is the one wedge that could always be used and counted on . If you remove this Unity will happen and the population will no longer fall for the two part lie that keeps us in check .
  Now that I have set the stage i'll tell you what we will lose . If Darren Wilson is not charged and a big confrontation takes place this nation will feel the ripple from coast to coast. The first thing we lose is the Civil Rights that Thousands if not Millions have already died for . I fear it will spawn racial killing from coast to coast . Im not saying on a grand scale but both side have Ignorant people looking for any reason . Any unity could be crushed in a heart beat . Those of us who speak of peace and unity will get it from both sides . Life long friends will have a hard time looking eachother in the eye for a while . The trust built over decades will be broken and the average American will fall for it from the sofa while watching the nightly news . The next thing we will loose is our Freedom . A  curfew will be placed in most if not every city . All the new Military equipment given to police departments comes out and will be used on us .
    Did you honestly believe that all this "surplus equipment" was brought back from war zones overseas ? Did you not see all the stories about all equipment we left behind to avoid shipping costs ?  Just a month ago we all seen the story about ISIS grabbing the massive stores of equipment left behind in Iraq . The numbers just don't add up unless you believe we had five MRAPs for every soldier ? Am I the only person who remembers that the troops never had all the gear needed ?
   This story has been building for a few years now . It has been well planned equipped and tested in other national tragedies . We seen the failed gun grab just after sandy hook . Funny that story just came back into the news today . Then we seen the test for lockdown and sweep house to house in Boston . That story as well just recently in the new ??? All they need is to pick a fight I think this is the fight . The thing is will we fall for it ? Will we as Americans see it just as it happens and snuff it as fast as it starts ? Do we as Americans still have the ability to see past skin color and spot the true threat ? I know I do and pray the rest of you reading this can as well .

Terms of Engagement issued by Protesters and Police in Ferguson





  Both sides have begun to communicate on expected behavior of the other group. This issue has now escalated to the point of almost war as both sides rally troops and people to the cause . This is the moment in history that civil rights community is in a fever pitch over . In the next few days the small town of Ferguson will decide the fate of the civil rights movement in America .
   That in mind lets take a second and recap just the absolute facts of what started this . Mike Brown and friends where walking in the middle of a residential street in Ferguson . No traffic and no one was directly being harmed by the jaywalking . Darren Wilson drove up behind the group in his patrol vehicle and told them all to get out of the road and on the sidewalk . Wilson began to drive away as the group headed to the sidewalk . Mike Brown stepped back into the street like most cocky young men just for a giggle and a little spite . Daren Wilson seeing this in his rear view puts his suv in reverse and backs up . This is when the confrontation begins and Mike Brown gets Killed .
   Lots of speculation starts at this point . Did Brown grab Wilson's gun from inside the vehicle on the right side of his belt ? Was it necessary to empty the clip on him to stop this action if it happened ?  Witnesses say Brown was on the ground with his hands up when shot ? The known facts given by Wilson at the time immediately after the shoot collaborate this . Rumors over a convenience store robbery came out a couple days after the killing fueling pro police support . No mention of the robbery was made in any of the original reports and had no basis on the jaywalking stop by Wilson .
   This story has grown and suffered at the hands of big media . It has been spun as a race issue by hate groups from both sides . The simple facts in this story is a man was shot for jaywalking and not respecting an order by a police officer to stay out of the road .  Had Wilson not put his car in reverse over Browns actions of stepping back in the road none of this would have happened .


So here are the rules as spelled out by both sides . First the protesters comity





 response Missouri police have released 9 point set of rules for protesters
1. The first priority will be for protesters to remember “don’t break the law”
2. Protest leaders will communicate to all protesters the need for non-violence. Leaders will accept responsibility for any acts of violence any protesters engage in.
3. Protesters shall give police a 48 hour notice if they plan to have looting as part of protest operations.
4. Protesters shall give the public advanced information as to the locations of riots and looting so average citizens can be safe and avoid potential violence.
5. Every attempt should be made by protest leadership to communicate with known trouble makers they are not part of the peaceful protest movement and not welcome to come.
6. Clear standards of professionalism and sound community friendly protesting will be maintained and adhered to at all times by protesters.
7. Police will wear whatever attire they need to feel safe.
8. If peaceful protests turn violent the protesters shall expect tear gas and rubber bullets to be used, so keep it peaceful… the decision to use this equipment will be made based on your actions, thus you are making the decision to be gassed 
9. Protesters acknowledge that even so called “minor attacks on police” (i.e. throwing water bottles at police) are still physical attacks. Expect all attacks on police to be addressed, please see point #8 above.
