Cats, Guns, and National Security

When Limbaugh-esque self-interest aids our enemies. This fellow's landlord is actually aiding terrorists by doing what most conservative-types would do--putting money and their own interests ahead of the War on Terror. Help Ed on the road to safety.

The police did well here.

First, note how the one protester seems to think--just like the Democrats in the sit-in in Congress awhile back--that the media is simply part of their movement. And second, the police kinda failed this guy here. Which leads to my third point, which is that people on "our" side should never engage in these sorts of solo actions. Rather, go in in tight groups, practiced in group tactics, and with cover--both cameras and security. I've done street activism, and I know the tricks.

Something I wrote about this picture to explain the Second Amendment as necessary and proper, even in light of the current violence in the country: "A Korean neighborhood in Los Angeles survived riots that destroyed the area around them, because they were armed. Something similar happened in Ferguson a couple of years ago. Ultimately, it boils down to the idea that to have to submit to criminality is repugnant. We may not be able to take the law into our own hands, but to mandate by law and condition the common decent and rational person to stand down to criminal, insurrectionist, and terrorist threats goes against every sense of human dignity. To put it in more liberal terms, it is the ultimate violation of 'human rights.'"
