When the Unexpected Meets the Unprepared

Opinion

Injunction Sought in Federal Lawsuit Over Riverside, California Sheriff Stan Sniff’s “Discriminatory and Unconstitutional” Handgun License Policies
Those who routinely go armed, have necessary weapons skills, and are mentally prepared have a good chance of victory, even under such desperate circumstances.

Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- Mosque Shooting Incident in New Zealand, 16 Mar 2019.

Learning points from that mass shooting in New Zealand:

  • 1) Islamics are no less vulnerable to these events than are Jews, nor Baptists.

Perpetrator’s “manifesto” was (as most are), rambling, confusing, incomprehensible drivel. An army of mental-health experts are currently wringing their hands in a futile effort to “understand” him.

His guns and even magazines were covered with “slogans.” He recorded the entire event.

He is a fruit-cake.

They all are.

The world is full of such extremely dangerous deviates, and always will be, and most are not in institutions.

  • 2) You are on your own.

It can’t be said too often.

Islamics are imagined to be so tough and ready. It’s all hype. We plainly see that they are no more “ready” in Christchurch, New Zealand mosques than are Jews in NYC synagogues, nor Baptists in TX churches.

No one in that mosque had a gun, except the perpetrator.

We all need to know and understand that police, while perhaps “on the way,” won’t arrive, and be in a position to take significant action, until corpses are all cooling, and the perpetrator has long-since either committed suicide, or escaped.

That’s the way these events always turns out.

Therefore:

  • The first five seconds are more important than the next five hours.
  • When there, you’ll have to take action with weapons you’re carrying, or that you can get your hands on within five seconds.
  • Failing that, you have scant chance of altering the outcome, nor of saving yourself.

Those who routinely go armed, have necessary weapons skills, and are mentally prepared have a good chance of victory, even under such desperate circumstances.

The unprepared have no chance, and their religion is irrelevant, as we see.

What we won’t find is a “happy ending.”

Forewarned is forearmed. Where do these doofusses get the idea that the proper response to a threat of violence is to disarm the law-abiding! It’s got to be from a lack of physical and moral courage frantically seeking to rationalize cowardice.

We, our way of life, is under attack from within and without. Death happens on both sides. Once again, the politicians have weaponized discourse and are shocked at the results. We are just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. I fear for my Nation when I remember God is just.-30-

To be a bit more correct, they are “Muslims”, not “Islamics”. But I get the point. We need to be prepared and we must have the right of self defense.

“Excellence is an Art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue and excellence,
but rather we have those, because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an
act, but a habit.” ~ Aristotle

Who in the hell are you talking about and what in the hell do you you mean. If you want to rave on like an idiot at least try to be coherent.

The manifesto is quite intelligible, coherent, and demonstrative of clear individual thought. Stop saying otherwise. The uncomfortable fact of the matter is that one does not have to be crazy to commit mass murder. That is perhaps the most important lesson of humanity and society to be learned here. It is vastly unwise to comfort ourselves by “otherizing” these monsters instead of dealing with the reality that sane, intelligent people are capable of mass-murder. This was a normal, intelligent, self-motivated man, and he slaughtered scores of fellow men. Don’t stick your head in the sand and deny it. Learn it.… Read more »

Coming from you; another kook…

No he’s right. If you took the time to read the manifesto you could see that too. Tarrant was an accelerationist, and the world is currently playing into his hands, so mission accomplished.

Also, Tarrant’s guns and magazines weren’t covered with just “slogans”. Sure there were some memes on them, but they were mostly covered with historical events where Muslims killed Christians.

Austin, I think you are the one with head stuck in sand.
