Knife control: Japanese man kills 19, injures 26

When-Rocks-Are-OutlawedHad that occurred here in America, Barack Hussein Obaka and Loretta Lynch and Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom and all the rest of the Leftists would still be bleating about gun control.

From CNN.com:

Japan knife attack: At least 19 dead

by Euan McKirdy and Emanuella Grinberg

(CNN)  At least 19 people were killed and 26 injured in a stabbing spree at a facility for disabled people west of Tokyo, making it one of Japan’s deadliest mass killings since World War II. Nine men and 10 women, ranging in age from 18 to 70, were killed in the attack.

Officer Satomi Kurihara of the Sagamihara Fire Department confirmed the death toll at the Tsukui Yamayuri-en facility in Sagamihara, a residential area approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of the capital.
Satoshi Uematsu, a 26-year-old who worked at the facility until February, broke in through a window about 2 a.m. Tuesday (1 p.m. ET Monday), Kanagawa Prefecture officials said at a news conference.

Because, as we all know — and Leftists know this best of all — if we eliminate firearms wholesale, then violence will simply plummet and go away.  All will be well with the world, birds will sing, clouds will part and the sun will shine.

Gun-Control-at-the-Bar

“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”  Dan Rather knows.

Yes, Leftists are in fact that naive.  Logic and the nature of humanity, as I’ve written before, eludes the deluded.

When firearms are eradicated, violence will cease.  Right?  But wait; what about Australia, where gun deaths are down but knife deaths are climbing.  Why might that be?  Let’s glance at China, where a knife is the weapon of choice and 130 persons were stabbed at random36 persons were stabbed and killed at a Chinese police station in 2013Eight children were killed by a knife-wielder in JapanEight people killed in South Korea41 people were stabbed by a 16-year-old in Berlin.  A 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death in the UK.  The knife is the UK “weapon of choice” for violence, as it is in Israel with Palestinians stabbing and killing Israeli citizensFBI data indicates you are more likely to be beaten, clubbed or stabbed to death than to be murdered using an AR-15 or any other rifle in the United States.

In Europe, guns are involved in 36 percent of murders and knives are involved in 43 percent.  Where is the cry for “knife control”?

Locally, there were a number of knife attacks last year.

Some other interesting statistics.

But let’s stop dancing around the issue of “gun control.”  Let’s get down to brass tacks: Demorats and Leftists want out-and-out gun confiscation.  Make no mistake about that.  Hillary Clinton and all other power elites have their own private police forces.  You don’t.  They have “theirs” and that is all they care about.

When you get down to it, Leftists and Demorats will only be satisfied when there exists the complete removal of firearms from American citizens.  The outright trampling of the Second Amendment.  What’s left?  Tire irons?  Knives?

But here’s one thing you won’t be able to do with a knife or a rock or a lamp or a baseball bat or a torch or a pitchfork: defend yourself against a government.  Oppose oppressive government regimes.  Governments, all governments, our government, will always be armed with heavy, military grade weapons.  Historically, our Second Amendment does not exist to allow Americans to hunt.  That’s a ridiculous claim when made by anyone.  The Second Amendment exists in America in order to resist tyranny in any form and that includes an over-reaching government, foreign or domestic.

Demorats and Leftists are not grounded in reality.  They are only versed in power and money.  The citizenry can be armed or it can be disarmed.  Those who are disarmed are called Proles, Serfs, Groundlings, Commoners.

In the meantime, criminals will still commit crimes, the mentally unstable will still be unstable, and Leftists will still be unable to grasp these fundamental concepts.

3 Baton Rouge officers killed; Obama bleats about gun control

Baton Rouge Officers Killed 7-17-2016Baton Rouge Police Department Officers Montrell Jackson, Brad Garafola, Matthew Gerald, stalked, ambushed and killed by black suspect.

It’s the customary Barack Hussein Obama response whenever guns are used in violence: gun control.  We need more gun control.  It’s the standard Mark I, Model I retort for Obama and Leftists and Demorats.  We need more gun control — though in the bulk of these cases the suspects did not violate the law and would not have otherwise been able to be stopped.  “More gun control” simply penalizes one group of persons: the law abiding, not the law breaking.  This simple fact completely eludes the deluded.

There should therefore be truck control for France, pressure cooker control for Massachusetts and knife control for much of the rest of the world.

Pause here for just a moment.

Let’s envision a gun-free US.  Then let’s envision Australia, where gun deaths are down but knife deaths are climbing.  Why might that be?  Let’s glance at China, where a knife is the weapon of choice and 130 persons were stabbed at random36 persons were stabbed and killed at a Chinese police station in 2013Eight children were killed by a knife-wielder in JapanEight people killed in South Korea41 people were stabbed by a 16-year-old in Berlin.  A 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death in the UK.  The knife is the UK “weapon of choice” for violence, as it is in Israel with Palestinians stabbing and killing Israeli citizensFBI data indicates you are more likely to be beaten, clubbed or stabbed to death than to be murdered using an AR-15 or any other rifle in the United States.

Yet the meme continues, pushed, shoved and agendized by Mr Obama, Leftists and our American Media Maggots.

In Europe, guns are involved in 36 percent of murders and knives are involved in 43 percent.  Where is the cry for “knife control”?
KNIFE CONTROLBut here’s one thing you won’t be able to do with a knife: defend yourself against a government.  Oppose oppressive government regimes.  Governments, all governments, our government, will always be armed with heavy, military grade weapons.  Historically, our Second Amendment does not exist to allow Americans to hunt.  That’s a ridiculous claim when made by anyone.  The Second Amendment exists in America in order to resist tyranny in any form and that includes an over-reaching government, foreign or domestic.

We all know what occurs when you take a knife to a gun fight.  The only solution to an evil person with a gun is another gun.  Period.  Most of these recent mass killers shoot themselves or surrender when confronted with armed resistance.  They are completely aware of so-called “gun free zones.”  They know what will happen when law enforcement arrives.

As the great Divider-In-Chief, here is what one of your black minions, Cleveland Brown player Isaiah Crowell, posted on Instagram.

Cop Throat Slit

This is but a small portion of the offensive material going out on social media against law enforcement.

Cop Throat Slit ComparisonNotice any similarity, Mr Obama?  This is your doing sir.  Your doing.  I am not the only one who believes this.  Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke calls Barack Hussein Obama the Cop Hater-In-Chief.

Sheriff Clarke was interviewed by Don Lemon on CNN last night and had had enough.  You must watch the full interview.

Let us not forget that Black Lives Matter was created behind an outright lie — the lie of “hands up don’t shoot.”  Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson had the full force of the federal government fall down on him as a host of 100 FBI agents descended upon Ferguson in order to prove him a racist, a liar, a bad cop, the outright assassin of Michael Brown.

Officer Darren Wilson was cleared entirely but his life was destroyed.  He can never be a law enforcement officer again because of his perceived stigma.

Let me say that again: Black Lives Matter was predicated but upon a LIE, and consists now of mostly racist individuals whose words are murderous themselves and whose members foment and partake of violence.

Black Lives Matter Hate Group SPLC GraphicAs the great Divider-In-Chief and, as I am wont to say, the Racist-In-Chief, Obama is quick to conclude that law enforcement officers are swine.  It is Barack Obama who stated Trayvon Martin could be his son.  In one way, sir, yes, perhaps he could indeed.  But not in the manner he perhaps envisioned.  I don’t mean that in a good way, you see.  Rhetoric uber alles, Mr Obama, for It was Obama who said “if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”

Today Barack Obama said that cops need to “admit their failures.”  Perhaps you should turn that burning and accusing finger towards yourself sir and examine your own rhetoric, your own lack of leadership, your own clear biases and prejudices.

It is Barack Hussein Obama who acts without facts.  As I wrote earlier:

Obama sets the tone and the pace for the administration in DC and, by dint of that, the tone for the rest of those who follow he and his fellow political Leftists.

Trayvon Martin became Barack Hussein Obama’s son.  Obama didn’t have all the facts but proclaimed Martin a victim.  Zimmermann was found not guilty, though Obama had already found him guilty.

Obama stated with Bully Pulpit firmness that the Cambridge Police Department “acted stupidly” in the arrest of professor Henry Gates, though Obama didn’t have all the facts.  Gates, by the way, just “happened” to be a personal black friend of Obama’s.

Obama’s attitude of Officer Darren Wilson was that of guilt, though Wilson was never indicted or charged.  Wilson’s life was, however, ruined forever though not convicted of any crime.

Holder had the opportunity to make a statement when Black Panthers barricaded the polls in Philadelphia with weapons they carried, but Holder refused to take any actions whatsoever.

Obama has fanned racist flames, whenever he could, in Ferguson and in Baltimore.  It’s no secret that he wants to federalize police nationally.

Cops are not saints and there are racist cops.  I readily admit that; I’d be a fool not to.

A black male was baldly murdered for taking leg bail on a white police officer following a traffic stop.  That cop, University of Cincinnati Police Officer Ray Tensing, now in fact does face murder charges for the killing of Sanuel DuBose in July of 2015.  DeKalb County (GA) Police Officer Robert Olsen was indicted for murder in January of this year involving the shooting of Anthony Hill, a naked black man with PTSD.  A Portsmouth (VA) police officer, Stephen Rankin, was indicted for murder in September of 2015 for the shooting death of William Chapman, a black young man, stemming from a shoplifting call at a WalMart when Chapman charged at the officer

But these are the few exceptions and not the rule.  This doesn’t count Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson who was not charged at all after the shooting of Michael Brown, as well as countless other officers uncharged in various shootings around the country.  This also doesn’t take into account the white males who have been shot and killed at the hands of black police officers — a fact entirely unaddressed by media.

Statistically, roughly 5% of police shootings fall under circumstances that are questionable according to the Washington Post.  The vast majority of individuals shot and killed by police officers were armed with guns and killed after attacking police officers or civilians or making other direct threats.  Of the 960 people killed by police in 2015, 564 were armed with a gun.  281 were armed with another weapon.  Almost half have been white, a quarter have been black and one-sixth have been Hispanic.

Fact: doctors kill roughly 400,000 people per year in the United States.  Doctors are the #3 killer in the US, right behind heart disease and cancer.  Clearly, the nation is screaming for “doctor control.”

On October 24th of last year, my department lost Deputy Danny Oliver, who was shot and killed during a suspicious person contact adjacent a motel.  That same suspect fled the scene, shot a civilian, and then killed Placer County Sheriff’s Detective Michael Davis Jr a short time later.  Detective Michael David Davis Jr. was killed 26 years — to the day — after his own law enforcement father was killed.  Both deputies were slain by a Mexican national who had been deported twice and had drug arrests.

“The rule of law makes society possible,” Mr Barack Hussein Obama said today during a news conference regarding Baton Rouge.  There is a staggering lack of leadership in this nation because of Barack Hussein Obama and, in my opinion, this is quite purposeful for the reasons via the examples I illustrated above.  Mr Obama by his words and actions and continuing tendencies has set a tone and created a climate that has emboldened and empowered people to push and challenge law enforcement to the point where officers nationwide are being ambushed and assassinated outright.

Because of this “tone,” the NAACP is now calling for certain police departments to be defunded.

Mr Obama sets the tone for the nation.  Tone noted.  And I’m so very tired of it.

“Rule of law.”  Right, Mr Obama.  The same “rule of law” continuously avoided by those in power, such as Hillary Rodham Clinton, yourself, William Jefferson Clinton and any number of the political power brokers in DC, aided and abetted by Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, James Comey and others too numerous to mention.

“All animals are equal, some are more equal than others.”

Rule of law” you say, Mr Barack Hussein Obama?

America needs to have the back of its law enforcement officers.  We should be thankful for its Silverbacks and its Sheepdogs.  I am still a Sheepdog.

When all you do, however, is attack your Sheepdogs, then the wolves appear in greater numbers and threaten your sheep.

Unless that’s your actual plan.

It’s no more complicated than that.

Baltimore black-on-black murders since Gray: where are the riots?

Baltimore Black LeadersAnd the hits just keep on coming.

May was a great month for Baltimore, if you’re a dead black male.

34 black males died in May, in the great Demorat-controlled city of Baltimore.  There have been 109 homicides to date in Baltimore.  Easily over 95% of the victims were black.  Most all the suspects were — wait for it.  .  .

Just this past weekend under the tutelage of the Mayor Hyphenate, there were 27 shootings and 8 deaths.  How many were black-on-black?  I’ll give you one silly-willy guess.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Baltimore possesses a great number of “chocolates” as termed by Ray Nagin.

Let’s see: there are 622,000 people in Baltimore.  63% of its population is black.  The Mayor is black, the Police Chief is black, the city council president is black, the council itself is 2/3rds black, 48% of the police force is black, the Police Commissioner is black.  All chocolates.  But here is a very telling paragraph:

“It transcends whether the mayor is black or not,” said Lawrence Brown, a Morgan State University professor and community activist. “Black people view policing as racist, and it doesn’t matter if the mayor is black, the police chief is black or the president is black. There’s a long history of brutal policing in black communities, so people don’t have any expectations.” 

“Black people view policing as racist.”

And that’s a sentence you’ll be hard-pressed to overcome when it sources from people who are too many times criminals.  Note to black criminals: stop committing crimes, if you don’t want to be considered or “labeled” as a criminal.  Pretty damned simple.  Really.

From CBSBaltimore.com:

29 Shootings, 9 Fatal, Over Memorial Day Weekend In Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WJZ)–It’s been a violent  weekend in Baltimore after a surge of shootings–some deadly across the city.

Amy Yensi has more.

Police say 29 people were shot, 9 of them killed over this weekend, adding to the  record-breaking violence.

The shooting didn’t stop on Monday night after a 9-year-old boy and another man were both injured by gun fire in the 2900 block of Arunah Avenue. Police say the child was shot in the leg and another man suffered a graze wound to the head.

35 killings in Baltimore in one month.  May was Baltimore’s deadliest month since 1999.

Of course, Freddie Gray was worth turning an already piece-of-crap Baltimore into an even larger piece-of-crap city, costing the city even more money and putting it in even greater debt.

Baltimore Cop Car Smashed With NarrativeMake no mistake: Demorats have been in charge of Baltimore since 1967, and since the 1968 riots nothing has been done in West Baltimore.  Repeat: nothing since 1968.  For 48 years Demorats have been in charge of Baltimore and apparently nothing much has happened.  The city hasn’t been able to repair itself since the 1968 Martin Luther King, Jr. riots.

Despite the fact that it has, to date, received $1.8 BILLION federal dollars.  Where did that money go?

Pat Dollard writes:

Thanks To Black Leaders And Black Criminals, Baltimore Has 27 Shootings And 8 Deaths This Weekend

This is the direct result of black leaders Barack Obama, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Attorney General Mosby,Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Al Sharpton, all declaring war on America’s cops, and lynching 6 Baltimore on phony murder charges.

[Prediction: those cops will be found not guilty, or guilty of much lesser charges. – BZ]

John Nolte writes:

“Poverty has nothing to do with it. This madness and chaos and anarchy is a Democrat-driven culture that starts at the top with a racially-divisive White House heartbreakingly effective at ginning up hate and violence. Where I currently reside here in Watauga County, North Carolina, the poverty level is 31.3%. Median income is only $34,293. In both of those areas we are much worse off than Baltimore, that has a poverty rate of only 23.8% and a median income of $41,385. Despite all that, we don’t riot here in Watauga County. Thankfully, we have not been poisoned by the same left-wing culture that is rotting Baltimore, and so many other cities like it, from the inside out. We get along remarkably well. We are neighbors. We are people who help out one another. We take pride in our community, and are grateful for what we do have. We are far from perfect, but we work out our many differences in civilized ways. Solutions are our goal, not cronyism, narcissistic victimhood, and the blaming of others.”

But here’s the dirty little secret that Demorats don’t want you to know, in concert with their Poverty and Race Pimp abiders like Jackson and Sharpton — who continue to privately profit from race baiting:

It isn’t a “race” problem with Baltimore.  It’s a Demorat problem.

Look at any busted and broken major city in the United States, and I’ll show you a city run by Demorats.  Demorat, liberal, “Progressive,” Socialist policies are historically a failure.  But no one wants to consider anything different.  Throwing more cash at Baltimore is like throwing cash at an African tinpot dictator.  It’ll never get past the government “heads.”  It will never “trickle down.”

That said, as my headline asks: so where are the riots?

Blacks rioted in Baltimore following one black male dying whist in Baltimore PD custody (in which half of the cops indicated were black, with one black female officer).

Yet, blacks continue to kill blacks in Baltimore with offhand impunity.

Where are the riots?

Oh, right.  That’s the wrong narrative.

All 6 Baltimore officers indicted

From WFSB.com:

Baltimore officers indicted for the death of Freddie Gray

by Zach Winslett

(RNN) – All six officers charged for the death of Freddie Gray have been indicted by a grand jury. 

“As our investigation has continued, additional info has been discovered, and, as is often the case, additional charges can be added,” Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby said.

In the meantime, the Mayor Hyphenate says Baltimore crime is off the charts.

And that hurts her.

Baltimore’s mayor: Spike in crime ‘disheartening’

by Yvonne Wenger

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake called the city’s recent spike in violence “disheartening” Thursday as police work to address a dramatic increase in homicides and nonfatal shootings.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” the mayor told reporters at a news conference. “It is disheartening, but I am still resolved to continue to reduce violent crime in our city.”

The city has experienced 100 homicides this year, compared with 71 at this time last year, the police department said. It’s the fastest the city has reached 100 homicides since 2007. Last year, the city reached the mark on July 4. Nonfatal shootings are up more than 70 percent with at least 19 people shot on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I wonder: are Baltimore police hedging their arrest bets?

Baltimore riots focus on Philadelphia

Baltimore Riot Cop Cars Burn

A disenfranchised and aggrieved young black man in Baltimore blah blah blah blah.

Ah, there’s nothing like the smell of a good Leftist city burned to the ground in the morning, well-accomplished by Free Cheese Drones.  Drones who refuse to listen to facts, disregard history, and are spurred on by the American Media Maggots.

Go Maggots!

Burn it up, FCDs.  Make those Leftists pay for their failed ideas and stolen cash.  Stolen cash, you ask?  Of course; between the 1968 MLK riots and now not one serious brick has been replaced in West Baltimore.  Demorats have been in charge since 1967.

Just one logical question:

Where did all of that federal and state money go?  Certainly not towards the rebuilding of Baltimore.

That’s right, the Baltimore with Leftists and Demorats in charge.  Praise be to Gore.  Salaam Alaikum.

48 years later, everything is better, is it not, because Baltimore PD is finally reflective of its surrounding neighborhoods, right?

Just as Ferguson PD was accused of: not being reflective of its chocolate surroundings.  Because, as we all know, if the cops were all chocolate, Michael Brown wouldn’t have been shot, and Trayvon Martin would still be walking in his hoodie.

Oh wait.  Martin was shot by an Hispanic civilian.  And Baltimore PD reflects its community.  What is quite wrong with these pictures?

Apparently something just doesn’t compute.

But here’s what does compute: black Leftists in charge of Leftist bastions like Baltimore refusing to answer logical and pointed questions because they would be placed in a poor light.  Remember the Obama Rule: asking a pointed question is in and of itself racist in nature.

Particularly by the Evil Fox News, who doggedly insists upon having questions answered:

Oh such Evil!  Such Evil Fox News!

So just what does the Mayor Hyphenate say, as Leland Vittert asks:

1. To the police officers who were injured because the Mayor Hyphenate ordered them not to respond to people using force against them?
2. To the officers who were ordered to not wear certain protective gear lest they appear “too militaristic”?
3. To the businesses that were looted, because the Mayor Hyphenate said “it was only property”?
4. Why did the Baltimore cops shield the Mayor Hyphenate but failed — yes, failed — to protect Baltimore businesses?

More news is coming out about Freddie Gray, as well:

At this point, bottom line?

You want to burn Leftist Cities, FCDs?

You go right ahead.
