Freedom, Liberty And Coffee.

1. Forget about knives, bats and fists. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns. Bring four times the ammunition you think you could ever need.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammunition is cheap – life is expensive. If you shoot inside, buckshot is your friend. A new wall is cheap – funerals are expensive.

3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

4. If your shooting stance is good, you’re probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker and go to cover. Distance is your friend. (Bulletproof cover and diagonal or lateral movement are preferred.)

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a semi or full-automatic long gun and a friend with a long gun.

7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running. Yell “Fire!” Why “Fire”? Cops will come with the Fire Department, sirens often scare off the bad guys, or at least cause then to lose concentration and will…. and who is going to summon help if you yell ”Intruder,” “Glock” or “Winchester?”

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on “pucker factor” than the inherent accuracy of the gun.

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

12. Have a plan.

13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work. “No battle plan ever survives 10 seconds past first contact with an enemy.”

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible, but remember, sheetrock walls and the like stop nothing but your pulse when bullets tear through them.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don’t drop your guard.

17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees. Practice reloading one-handed and off-hand shooting. That’s how you live if hit in your “good” side.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. Smiles, frowns and other facial expressions don’t (In God we trust. Everyone else keep your hands where I can see them.)

19. Decide NOW to always be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet if necessary, because they may want to kill you.

22. Be courteous to everyone, overly friendly to no one.

23. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with anything smaller than ”4″.

25. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. “All skill is in vain when an Angel blows the powder from the flintlock of your musket.” At a practice session, throw your gun into the mud, then make sure it still works. You can clean it later.

26. Practice shooting in the dark, with someone shouting at you, when out of breath, etc.

27. Regardless of whether justified or not, you will feel sad about killing another human being. It is better to be sad than to be room temperature.

28. The only thing you EVER say afterwards is, “He said he was going to kill me. I believed him. I’m sorry, Officer, but I’m very upset now. I can’t say anything more. Please speak with my attorney.”

Soldier Trades Cigarettes for Maimed, Hungry Dog

“Army Sergeant Nick B. took unusual action against cruelty he witnessed serving in Afghanistan. When he encountered a tied-up, skinny Shepherd mix covered in mud, ears and tail hacked away, Nick asked the people living nearby if he could have him. But the owners, who were planning to use the dog for gruesome ‘entertainment’ purposes, were only willing to give him up in return for cigarettes. The soldier happily traded.

Nick won the dog’s trust by approaching him gently and offering bits of beef jerky. And Bodhi, as he’s now known, eventually won the hearts of Nick’s entire unit. With the help of a rescue organization, Nick was able to ensure that Bodhi would be flown to the U.S. when the soldier’s tour was finished. Eventually, the two were reunited in Pensacola, Fla.”

This is precisely why social justice warriors are so dangerously untrustworthy and completely misleading.  Here is the quote this little nitwit cherry-picked from Martin Luther King: “Riots grow of intolerable conditions.  Violent revolts are generated by revolting conditions…”  Then she goes on to say in the video, “Basically, the king of peaceful protests understood why riots happen.  It’s a way powerless people attempt to be heard and to hold authorities accountable.”  And then she actually says:

What a very stupid thing to say.

The reason I even noticed this gifset was because I’ve actually read Martin Luther King’s autobiography, which she clearly has not.  I know the quote because I’ve actually used it myself.  However, here is the entire passage from which it was pulled:

“Riots grow of intolerable conditions.  Violent revolts are generated by revolting conditions and there is nothing more dangerous than to build a society with a large segment of people who feel they have no stake in it, who feel they have nothing to lose.  To the young victims of the slums, this society has so limited the alternatives of his life that the expression of his manhood is reduced to the ability to defend himself physically.  No wonder it appears logical to him to strike out, resorting to violence against oppression.  That is the only way he thinks he gets recognition.”

I bolded some points for emphasis.  You see Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t condoning violent riots, he was explaining the ignorant rationale behind them and condemning them.  He continues:

“After the riot in Chicago that summer, I was greatly discouraged.  But we had trained a group of about two thousand disciplined devotees of nonviolence who were willing to take blows without retaliating.  We started out engaging in constitutional privileges, marching before real estate offices in all-white communities.  And that nonviolent, disciplined, determined force created such a crisis in the city of Chicago that the city had to do something to change conditions.  We didn’t have any Molotov cocktails, we didn’t have any bricks, we didn’t have any guns, we just had the power of our bodies and our souls.  There was power there, and it was demonstrated once more.”

Although, the little girl above goes on to explain that MLK did promote non-violent methods to protest, she alludes that rioting is an okay method for people to be heard.  The whole premise of her video was to try to compare the events in Ferguson to the totalitarian, oppressive police state of a dystopian future in The Hunger Games, which is absurd.  The Ferguson police aren’t killing the people in mass genocide to oppress and control them as much as they’d love to believe so (this is coming from a guy who hates big government btw.)  The police in Ferguson are only trying to control these sometimes out-of-control mobs of people and protect people and property.  There is no need to riot in Ferguson, but the criminals and rabble-rousers do it for their own self-interests; not to make a statement or “to be heard.”  The police wouldn’t need to be there if the protesters were all peaceful.

MLK would chastise her for spreading such a utterly false premise.  A quick Google search also brought up a similar time King used a form of this same phrase to criticize the Detroit riots:

“We have to see that riots grow out of intolerable conditions existing in all our cities, and also out of centuries of neglect. The tragedy is that the riots aren’t going to solve the problems. … They only intensify the fears of the white community while, in many cases, relieving its guilt.”

Despite what she is attempting to confer, riots solve nothing.  There is no social change coming from the actions in Ferguson.  It is a huge waste of time.  "Hands up, don’t shoot" is based on an outright lie.  And the only thing that will be ingrained in our memories in a few years are people like Michael Brown’s stepfather who did this:

The Pentagon has identified the two soldiers killed in Saturday’s attack on Bagram Air Base as SGT John Perry of Stockton, CA, and PFC Tyler Iubelt of Tamaroa, IL. Both were members of 1st Cavalry Division Sustainment Brigade, out of Fort Hood.
