Restraint

So apparently there’s a Good Guy With A Gun involved in the taking down of our loony stabber in Traverse City MI — not that you’d ever read or hear about it in the Messed-Up Media, of course.

Here’s Our Hero, and that’s the situation he found himself in.

Now good for him, in that he restrained himself from ventilating the nutcase.  (I’m not quite sure what’s going on with that hold on the gun, mind you, but whatever.)

Apparently, he told the loony to drop the knife “several times” before the asshole saw the light of reason and dropped the knife

I have to say that if I were in his situation, standing what looks like three or four feet away from the nutcase, I’m not sure that I would have acted the same.

He’s standing very much in range of a stabbing lunge, and as we all know, that’s way too close for comfort.

I may or may not have issued a “Drop the fucking knife!” order, but I sure as hell would have popped three into his chest after the first refusal to do so.  Standing close to a nutcase holding a bloodstained knife, with the screams of his victims echoing all over the place…

Like I said, the man showed admirable restraint.  Others might not have.

Oh, and semper fi, Marine.

Close Escape

Man, did we ever dodge a bullet back in 2016:

The report indicates that Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) possessed “DNC communications that Clinton was suffering from ‘intensified psycho-emotional problems, including uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness,’” and that Hillary “was placed on a daily regimen of ‘heavy tranquilizers’ and while afraid of losing, she remained ‘obsessed with a thirst for power.’ ”

Yup… that sounds like Our Hillary, ferrrr shirrr.

Worse still (in the linked article) is the role the loathsome Obama Administration played in the whole matter.

Read it, and rage.

Helping Hand

I got this from Reader Brad_In_IL over the weekend:

Kim,

The skeet/trap ranges at my local sporting club have been severely damaged by a miscreant. Here’s from the senior RSO for the pistol/rifle side of the club

On Friday evening, someone in a dump truck did extensive damage to the Main Clubhouse. The individual also hit the other buildings as well, sparing only the R/P office. It was all caught on camera and the perp has been found and charges pending. No fun for anyone. It’s frustrating.

Perhaps you can help bring some attention to this wanton vandalism, for fundraising for repair / rebuilding.  If not fundraising… perhaps you can encourage your readers in the Northeast IL / Southeast Wisconsin area to patronize the club.

Thank you.

Indeed I can.  Those of you who live out there, get over to Brad’s club and join up, because it’s not like there are a zillion choices to shoot in that part of GFW World.  All others:  please reach for yer wallets, if you can, and follow the link above.  Your support is sorely needed.

Travel Insanity

I know that flying on commercial airlines can drive one crazy, but this is outstanding:

Naked woman stabbed people with pencil after screaming ‘I speak all languages’ in airport

A completely naked woman allegedly stabbed two people, ran through a busy airport screaming, “I speak all languages”, broke monitors and threw beverages all over the place in a bizarre rampage. A disturbing two-minute clip of the deranged woman disrupting Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on March 14 was shared widely on social media.

The police were called for a welfare check on a woman who had suffered a “manic episode” that led to her allegedly stabbing two people with a pencil and biting a restaurant manager trying to subdue her. The traveller reportedly stabbed the restaurant manager in the face and head with his own pencil and also bit his right forearm.

The woman was covered in blood, according to an eye-witness, which was later confirmed to not be her own by medics. When the police managed to restrain her, a police report says she “wanted to be with the flowers” and was “in a forest”.

Gotta say, if you want all that then DFW is definitely not the place for you.

I’m going to bet that her little episode came from trying to make some kind of change to her Qantas ticket — that would make even me do all that.

Or else she’s just a Spirit Airlines Platinum-level customer.

It Was 20 Years Ago Today

…that this little event took place:

‘Scissor Sisters’ cut off mum’s boyfriend’s head and penis in ‘most grotesque killing ever’

And yes, I agree that at first glance, it sounds bad.

However, when you read some of the details of the corpus delicti’s  previous behavior, it does kinda sound like he had it coming:

The murder happened around St Patrick’s weekend in March 2005 after a drugs and booze binge involving the sisters. Noor, who was married with two kids and reportedly had a history of violence against women including allegations of rape, was also involved in the partying.

He was living with Linda and Charlotte’s mum Kathleen in Dublin at the time, with the mum reportedly ending up in hospital on multiple occasions, including once with fractured ribs, the Irish Mirror reports. The depraved murder, believed to have taken place on March 20, was sparked by Charlotte and Linda claiming Noor tried to rape one of them.

So they  reported him to the Garda  did they hell:

They reportedly spent the day drinking and taking ecstasy before Charlotte stabbed the man 27 times with a Stanley knife, while Linda struck him with a claw hammer. The dead man’s head and penis were then chopped off and never found. The siblings reportedly spent hours on the bathroom floor cutting up Noor’s body into chunks before placing them in plastic bags.

They then dumped his limbs and torso into the canal before boarding a bus to Tallaght in southwest Dublin, with the victim’s head concealed and reportedly hidden before it was moved again. Kathleen meanwhile helped clean the crime scene. Ten days later, Noor’s leg, with a sock still attached, was seen floating in the canal.

Horrifying?  Yes.  Did The Late Amputee “need killing”?  Also yes.

Anyway, Sister Charlotte seems to have had quite the time of it in prison:

A chilling image of Charlotte smiling while holding a large knife to a male inmate’s throat was leaked in 2008, sparking questions about why male and female prisoners were mixing, and how Charlotte got access to the large blade.

In 2014, she was accused of being in an “inappropriate sexual relationship” with a male staff member, and was reportedly found with alcohol in her cell. Just one year later, it was reported she was put in segregation after using heated hair tongs to burn the back of a fellow inmate, as reported in the Irish Independent.

Charlotte also reportedly teamed up with Linda to run a hair and beauty salon called Head And Shoulders – believed to be a warped reference to how they hacked their victim’s body.

Okay, I need to stop now because I’m starting to giggle.  And that’s just wrong.
