COLLECTIVE MADNESS
“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."
By the rapid instinctive reactions of the shooter, it appears that he has military training .
ReplyDeleteThis is the horrifying moment a brave police officer attempted to shoot one of the Dallas gunmen- only for the bullet to bounce off his armored vest and for him to turn around and execute the cop at point-blank range.
ReplyDeleteThe footage, filmed from a balcony on a building opposite the shoot-out shows one of the Dallas gunmen hiding behind a pillar when a cop approaches him from behind.
The stealthy officer then attempts to stop the rampage with a well-placed bullet to the shooter's back - but it abounces off, leaving the killer unharmed and the cop exposed. The killer then sprints towards the officer, who ducks behind the pillar.
The officer then apparently turns to his right, expecting the gunman to approach from the interior of the pillars - instead, the killer approaches from the outside, rounding the corner to see the officer facing away from him.
It takes just one second for the gunman to shoot his victim at point-blank range, knocking him to the ground, while masonry explodes around him - presumably fired by other officers.
The attacker then cruelly executes the prone officer before continuing the gunfight. Witness Ismael Dejesus said the maniac, who appeared to be carrying an AR-15 assault rifle, initially had no idea the cop was behind him.
'A police officer crept up on the shooter and shot him in the back,' he told CNN. 'But it didn’t faze him - he just turned around and shot him.'
And he said that the brutal execution that followed saw the attacker firing multiple times.
‘The police officer was down and he shot him maybe another three or four times in the back,' he explained. Dejesus said this shocking moment shows the attacker must have been well-prepared for the massacre. 'Unless he was a really big guy I can only imagine he was wearing body armor,' he said.
The man - one of at least four killers who opened fire on police during a demonstration about the recent high-profile killings of black men by cops - was also described as being incredibly heavily armed.
'It looked like he was carrying an AR-15,' Dejesus said, referring to a popular model of assault rifle.
And he added that the man had 'lots of 30-round magazines - so many that they were falling out of his pockets.'
Anthony May, a retired ATF explosives enforcement officer, told CNN that the killer knew exactly what he was doing, firing from that spot.
'It appears he was trying to draw police into that area,' he said. 'He is very well trained.'

ReplyDeleteOpen carry
ReplyDeleteIn Texas, you don't need a license or any other special identification or previous training to openly carry a long arm, such as a rifle or shotgun. This is not new; it has always been legal here to carry long arms without a license.
Handguns
If you want to carry a handgun - either openly or concealed - you have to apply for a "license to carry" from the Texas Department of Public Safety. Licensed open carry of a handgun became legal recently, on Jan. 1, 2016. More than 930,000 Texans currently have a legal license to carry a handgun.
Not sure what your point is, Deuce. I live in Texas half the year and have a CHL. CHLs are for law abiding citizens. You can't get one otherwise. The Black Lives Matter group and some offshoot, The Black Knights, or some such nonsense, are behind these assassinations. I believe they have a Facebook page, so you can read all about them. This is the new face of the America. Obama's America. This is the hope and change he promised to deliver.
ReplyDeleteDoes open carry mean it is a good idea to have someone walking around with an AK-47?
DeleteThe problem is that there has to be a tradeoff on a level of tolerable violence. There is no US military base on US soil that allows open carry of personal weapons of any sort. They know better. How many more shooting like last night is tolerable?
DeleteHow many low life thugs and felons, ex-cons, etc. are on US military bases? Perhaps we should get criminals off the streets?
DeleteBy the way, anyone who chooses to "open carry" is an idiot. At least in MOME's world.
ReplyDeleteMicah Xavier Johnson, 25, has been identified as one of the suspected gunmen in an ambush Thursday that left five Dallas law enforcement officers dead and seven more officers injured, multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News.
ReplyDeleteJohnson, who died in the incident, served as an Army reservist until April 2015, defense officials said. He was trained and served in the Army Reserve as a carpentry and masonry specialist, they said.
Police said he told hostage negotiators that he was angry about recent fatal shootings of black men by police elsewhere in the United States and that he wanted to kill white people, especially police officers.
The gunman "expressed anger for Black Lives Matter" and told a hostage negotiator he "wanted to kill [police] officers,” Dallas Police Chief David Brown said today.
Dallas Shooting Suspect Wanted to Kill White People, Especially White Cops, Police Say
Police spent hours negotiating with Johnson before he was killed by an explosive strapped to a police robot.
"We're hurting," Brown said. "Our profession is hurting. Dallas officers are hurting. We are heartbroken. There are no words to describe the atrocity that occurred to our city."
Three other suspects — two men and one woman — have been detained by police, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said. Officials said earlier that at least two gunmen were involved.
"I can tell you they're being pretty tight-lipped at this point," Rawlings said of the trio.
Sorry, I just don't see the relevance of what happened last night and open carry.
ReplyDeleteThere was that guy with the unloaded AR, or whatever it was:
DeleteMade him famous in a less than desirable fashion.
Maybe Deuce foresees a future with a bunch of guys carrying ARs, one goes off, and fission occurs, flattening crowds in a flash. ...flashes
There is nothing to foresee or speculate about. We’ve seen this movie before.:
DeleteI have been very critical of those creating needless violence and then expecting that there will be no consequences.
On this event, we have five decent police officers would be alive today except for the predictable and consequential actions of three dirty murdering cops in well publicized killings of two innocent men. One of the dead cops was an Iraq war veteran and the shooter was an Afghan war veteran who went on an insane rampage, made all the more lethal by easy access to a military assault weapon and multiple ammunition clips. Both of the veterans were involved in needless optional wars.
The morning after five police officers were fatally shot in Dallas, Texas, police officers were ambushed and shot in the St. Louis suburb of Ballwin, Missouri and Valdosta, Georgia. Authorities in Tennessee said Thursday’s shooting also targeted cops.
DeleteAs to the touted benefits of a right to carry state, Texas is a right to carry state. That right is virtually worthless against some maniac with an AK-47. The combined fire power of 10 cops who were openly carrying fell to the shooter. It is an absurd weapon and worthless except for what it was designed for, combat.
DeleteDallas police officer Patrick Zamarripa, 32, had survived three tours in Iraq, one of the world’s most dangerous places, his father, Rick Zamarripa, said Friday. And then this.
ReplyDelete“He comes to the United States to protect people here,” his dad said. “And they take his life.”
The shooter, Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, , in the Dallas attack on police officers was a former enlisted Army reservist who served for six years and completed a tour of duty in Afghanistan, personnel officials said on Friday.
The Person Who Organized The Black Lives Matter Event, In Which Four Cops Were Slaughtered, Was An Islamic Agent
ReplyDeleteThe organizer of the Dallas Black Lives Matter rally, in which four cops were murdered and numerous others injured by trained snipers, is a sodomite pro-Muslim agent. His name is Jeff Hood. In 2015, after American Christians protested an Islamic event in Dallas, this reprobate, Jeff Hood, said:
“I think that Texas Muslims are the real Christians.”
Jeff Hood says that he is a Baptist minister, but I believe that this is a disguise that he is using to cover his Islamic sentiments. In one statement Hood described a conversation with a Muslim “about Islam”, and of how “The beauty of the way they talked from an Islamic perspective about Jesus and the need to love all people moved me deeply. Their faith pushed me to believe again.” The “Islamic perspective about Jesus”? This is the antichrist anti-Trinitarian Jesus, and he is embracing this false christ? Hood also promotes an Islamic Jesus and even states that Jesus converted to Islam. In his website he posts a picture of Jesus dressed as a Muslim:
Under the photo Hood writes: “In our Islamophobic society, I have no question that Jesus is so intimately incarnated with and connected to our Muslim friends that he has become one.”
This Jeff Hood is an Islamic agent. Look at his face, he looks like a convert to Sufi Islam:
Not only this, but he is a homosexual and sodomite agent. In one book written by Hood, entitled “The Courage to be Queer,” he blasphemously wrote: “In fully living into the Queer within, Jesus became different and made all the difference.” He also stated: “Jesus was the most queer person on Earth.”
This person is a wicked reprobate, and Islamic and homosexual agent.

You must admit, Quirk's comment is highly informative.
Delete.
DeleteYou two are hilarious. I have yet to see one official or for that matter the police themselves who has said this guy was related to any terrorist group or for that matter the Black Lives Matter group. They have said the guy was pissed about shootings in Baton Rouge and Minnesota.
But let's see.
The guy was black, it appears he was a Black Power advocate, he had a tour in Afghanistan so its only reasonable to assume that he was radicalized by Islam there, and as the third stooge observed he was wearing a protective vest which sure sounds like ISIS. So any logical person would have to assume this was a clear case Islamic terror.
Genius.
Sounds like one of those skits on Jimmy Fallon.

DeleteOh yea I forgot, saw a picture of the guy and he sure looked gay to me. Clear case of Islamic sodomite rage.

Black Lives Matter. Four cops slaughtered. Islamic agent.
Did it come out and say that the cops were killed by the Islamic terrorists in the Black Lives Matter movement, those Jesus hating sodomites? Of course, not.
But to the low-information sheeple the guy is appealing to its likely obvious.

ReplyDeleteBlack Lives Matter Activist Appointed to Baltimore Schools Cabinet
Incoming Baltimore city schools chief executive officer Sonja Santelises has appointed DeRay Mckesson one of the most recognizable leaders in the Black Lives Matter movement, to serve as interim chief human capital officer for the district.
The school board approved the hire Tuesday. The Baltimore Sun reports that Mckesson, who will earn a salary of $165,000, will be the district's third chief of human capital in two years, and manage of a budget of $4 million and 56 employees.
===
After leaving the Baltimore schools in December 2013, he served as an administrator in the Minneapolis school system. He's also a former Teach for America corps member.
Mckesson went to Ferguson, Mo., amid racial unrest in the city after Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was fatally shot by a white police officer. His work there catapulted him to national prominence as an advocate against police violence.

Delete...or an obvious cancer on our society.
Quirk would rather pick nits than comment on reality.
Appearing later in the morning on Fox News, William Johnson, the executive director of National Association of Police Organizations, was asked whether law enforcement feels "increasingly under siege and targeted."
ReplyDelete"Absolutely. It's a horrible day. It's a war on cops," Johnson responded. "And the Obama administration is the Neville Chamberlain of this war.
I think their continued appeasement at the federal level with the Department of Justice, their appeasement of violent criminals, their refusal to condemn movements like Black Lives Matter, actively calling for the death of police officers, that type of thing, all the while blaming police for the problems in this country has led directly to the climate that has made Dallas possible."

ReplyDeleteHeather Mac Donald Talks About Her Essential Book: The War on Cops
ReplyDeleteYou said you could end all police shootings tomorrow, both lethal and nonlethal and justified and unjustified, and it would have a negligible effect on the astronomical rate at which blacks die by shootings. And then there was this:
The Justice Department under Obama came out with a report in March of 2015, a little over a year ago, that found that black and Hispanic officers were actually far more likely to shoot unarmed black suspects under what's known as threat misperception. That is the false belief that the suspect is armed. That happens much more than with white officers, who are less likely to engage in that type of threat misperception.
Then there was a study by the New York Police Department. Te former acting director of the National Institute of Justice found that black officers in the New York Police Department were 3.3 times more likely to use their guns at shooting scenes than white officers. So, A, officers are more hesitant about shooting armed black suspects than armed white suspects to the point where now there's a risk that officers are hesitating so long that they may put their own lives at risk.
The Black Lives Matter, that is all about white officers attacking blacks, is simply not true. That's the bottom line here. Everything everybody believes isn't true.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/07/08/heather_mac_donald_talks_about_her_essential_book_the_war_on_cops
"a police officer is 18-and-a-half times more likely to be shot by a black male than an unarmed black male is likely to be shot by a police officer. So, again, there's been an effort in Chicago by some city aldermen there to create a Blue Lives Matter law. And that has been attacked as racist by the Black Lives Matter activists out there and the ACLU. "
Delete"President Obama lied to the nation last night, and he embraced the Black Lives Matter myth that there is a racist war by white officers against black civilians in this country.
DeleteAnd we see the results. In fact, there's no government agency more dedicated to the proposition that Black Lives Matter than the police. Proactive policing has saved tens of thousands of minority lives since the mid‑1990s.
And now police officers are backing off. They've been backing off before the Dallas assassinations under the assault of hatred that is being spewed at them on the streets.
But above all in the mainstream media by activists and by politicians from the White House on down, they're backing off of proactive policing, and crime is going up astronomically, as much as 90 percent in cities with large black populations. And now, after these Dallas shootings, officers are going to be even more reluctant to engage. And the result is going to be more carnage."
