Nope, It Hasn’t Started… Yet…
Posted by: Emperor Darth Misha I in Life in the Empire, Useless Swine11:50 pm
LC Paul sends us this link, wondering if the muslim riots and vandalism that have been ravaging EUnuchistan for weeks have finally made it here:
OAKLAND — Abdul Saleh has just one question for the men — suspected by authorities to be Black Muslims — who trashed his corner store late Wednesday, terrorizing his 17-year-old son and another clerk and causing thousands of dollars in damage.
“I don’t know why they tried to destroy my life,” said Saleh, who has owned San Pablo Market and Liquor in West Oakland since 1986. “We came here for a better living, not to make war with anybody.”
About a dozen African-American men wearing suits, white-collared shirts and bow ties — a trademark of the Nation of Islam — entered the store on San Pablo Avenue and West Street about 11:30 p.m.
One went behind the counter and swept dozens of shelved liquor bottles to the floor. Others smashed glass refrigerator doors with long, slim metal pipes, breaking beer and wine bottles inside the cases. The whole incident from start to finish was caught on surveillance tape.
Not exactly very smart leaving your ugly mug on surveillance tape, is it? Not that we in the least bit expect signs of intelligence from the Nation of Asslam, but still.
“My son was here,” Saleh said. “He was scared. When he called me, he could not even speak.
“It makes me nervous. It’s scary. They say, ‘We will be back.’ If the city of Oakland can’t protect us, or a security guard, what can they do with 12 or 13 people? I’m worried for my employees. I’m worried for my son’s safety and my own safety. I am supporting two families from this place, 30 people.”
A Public Service Announcement that cannot be repeated too often, it seems, since a lot of people are still suffering under the illusion that the police can protect them or, indeed, are required to protect them:
They can’t and they aren’t.
It’s not that they don’t want to, no cop I know wouldn’t just love to be around to stop thugs, goons, rapists, vandals and murderers every time they crawl out of their sewer dwellings and decide to terrorize law-abiding citizens, but they just can’t physically be everywhere, all the time.
What they can and will do is come to your aid as quickly as possible when they receive a distress call but, unfortunately for you, that’ll most likely be too late and the only service they’ll be able to provide is to take report and have you and your loved ones picked up and carried to the morgue. Then they’ll do all they can to catch the perps, but that’s hardly going to wake you from the dead.
The only one who can protect you and your loved ones, and the person whose duty it is to do so, is YOU.
If you and/or your family ends up dead, then YOU fucked up. YOU fucked up by failing to prepare yourself adequately or, if you were prepared but failed to act, then YOU fucked up by not doing what had to be done.
- Get a weapon.
- Learn how to use it safely.
- Train, train and train again until the safe and lethal use of it becomes second nature to you. That’s how we do it in the Armed Forces. Keep shooting at paper targets until your brain ceases to differentiate between a danger made of paper and one made of flesh and blood. At that point there’ll only be two categories in your mind: “Target” and “not a target”, which is all you need or can afford to worry about in a real situation. Freezing up because it’s “wrong” to shoot a human being might save you from a bunch of nightmares later on (if you survive), but it’s not going to wake you or your family from the dead.
Remember this: YOU didn’t choose to shoot the perp dead, HE made that choice when he created the situation that led to his demise.
And for the love of G-d, SHOOT TO KILL STOP THE ATTACKER!
Shooting the gun out of the perp’s hand or hitting him in the arm only works in Hollywood, so forget about those crappy movies you’ve been watching and go for center mass. Every time. And keep firing until he stops moving. Not only does it help avoid a half-dead thug shooting you in the back when you’re not looking, it also saves you a load of hassle afterwards.
Remember: There are two sides to every story, your side and his side. Make sure he ain’t telling his.
Self defense is YOUR job. If you don’t care enough about yourself to realize this, then keep in mind that your family is also relying upon you to do YOUR job.
Don’t be a fuckhead and let them down.
An example:
At New York Market, a busy corner store that offers fortified beer and wine but no hard liquor, the owner, Tony, who just took control of the store three months ago and did not want to use his last name, said the group was targeting alcohol when it should be after drugs.
“Before they talk about alcohol, they should talk about all the drugs and heroin on the street,” he said.
His cousin was minding the store when the men came in at 11:40 p.m. At one point, his cousin reached for a shotgun behind the counter, but the men took it away from him, Tony said.
Thankfully, and no thanks to Tony’s cousin, nobody died this time.
Because Tony’s cousin fucked up. I’m very happy to hear that he didn’t end up dead, because in a lot of cases he would have.
He wasn’t trained. That much is obvious from the fact that they took his self-defense implement away from him. The moment they made a move, he should’ve commenced firing until there was a bunch of bloody rags laying around on the floor instead of standing around like a twerp while the apes took his gun away.
DON’T REACH FOR A GUN UNLESS YOU INTEND TO USE IT.
If you ignore this simple rule, the gun is not merely useless, it’s worse than useless since it tends to aggravate an already dangerous situation and provides your adversary with another weapon to shoot you dead with. Not to mention that if they’re already armed, they’ll most definitely turn you into target practice once they realize that you are as well. When you point a weapon at them, they’ll assume that you intend to use it. Make sure that they’re proven right, and make sure that it’s the last time in their useless lives that they’re right about anything at all.
Teaching over.
Back to the original question: Are the muslims going crazy here as well now?
No. Please note that the majority of the store owners hit by those Nation of Asslam idiots were of Arab origin and thus very likely muslims themselves. This is just another organized act of thuggery and vandalism from a known group of drooling, knuckledragging thugs. There is absolutely no reason to blame the muslim community of America for this one, and you shouldn’t.
Hopefully the Neanderthals responsible are caught and dealt with in short order and, if you’ll allow me to dream for a moment, hopefully the Nation of Islam will finally make it to our list of terrorist organizations. Nothing would please me more than to see Loopy Louie marched off to Gitmo in leg irons. It’s not going to happen but, as I said, I can dream, can’t I?
For now I’ll settle for the swift capture, prosecution and confinement of those primates so that legitimate, law-abiding business owners can carry on with their lives without fear.
Thatisall.

So idiots in bowties break up a liquor store. Too bad they didn’t cut themselves to ribbons and get all that alcohol in the wounds.

The real problem is, if 13 people armed with lead pipes had started breaking up the store and come menacingly toward the store clerk, and he had taken out a gun and shot even one of them, he would be sitting in jail right now. It would be argued (and any survivors, or relatives of the dead, would instantly say) that they had no intent of doing him bodily harm, that it was nothing more than a robbery or “a spirited prank that got out of control” or something. So, it’s great to have a gun, and you might get away with using it against a person in your house at 3am (IF they are fully in the house and not facing toward a door or doorway when shot…) but there is such legal issue with what I see as fair self defense, I think it makes a lot of people hesitant even to defend themselves. Granted, on one hand they could be dead, but on the other they could be in prison for life, and the third option is that maybe, hope against hope, they’ll survive AND not have to do prison time.
I wonder what is the right thing to say about people who wonder about guns. I told my father recently (I’m 40, and no fragile flower, and did firearms and martial arts training over 20 years ago for some time) that I was buying a Glock, and he said, “What do you need a gun for? What do I need a gun for? (Note: he has a .22 pistol) What does anybody in today’s world need a gun for?”
And that’s what most of our culture has been led to think, isn’t it? I was so surprised by his response I could only say, “You lived in California too long dad.”
When I got into organic gardening, food storage, seed saving, I realized with horror how little our nation as a whole knows about self-sufficiency. I paid my landscapers to build a nice deep garden and I grow stuff, though my husband does most of the work as it turns out (heh–funny how that works…). I cannot tell you how many people said to me, “You grow vegetables? Why bother growing them when you can just buy them?” I am not making this up. Most people don’t know about the mass eradication of vegetable seeds from the public seed market, or that most of what you buy in the packages either won’t reproduce or won’t grow true. Why does that matter? Well what happens if that just-in-time inventory doesn’t have enough food at safeway for all 50,000 people in your city? What happens when you can’t just go to 711 or Taco Bell? People assume that will never be the case. That the government and the market will always be there with water and food and utilities and protection.
But the government can’t intervene and protect and babysit every person in the nation. People have to be fairly self sufficient on their own. The Mormons have actually done the most fabulous job of “social structuring” of any group of people in this country, and it’s too bad about the dippy religion since if it weren’t for that detail I’d think just for the community and kid aspects it’d be worth joining (dear apologies to any mormons here, it just isn’t my bag at all). I wish more churches or political parties or ANY groups had ‘loose networks of people’ who could work together if some crisis came about. In my neighborhood, it’d be me (and the mormons, heh) trying to feed the entire city I imagine, which obviously is unworkable (and the reason why pre-Y2K so many programmer paranoids like me fled to rural areas. Except I was in a town of 800 in Texas when it happened so I didn’t need to flee).
I think the issue of personal responsibility and preparedness goes far beyond just having a weapon although that’s a good place to start.
Meanwhile — better late than never I hope — I get my Glock this week, yay.

Considering the location of this particular case I suppose that might have been the case.
But around here, not a chance.
It’s academic anyway. I’m not willing to bet my life, literally, that the goons won’t do me any harm. Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6. But if that was the case with Tony’s cousin, then I repeat: He should never have reached for the shotgun in the first place. He’s lucky he didn’t get his fool ass killed.

That was a good lesson Misha; unfortunately, it will be lost on people. Most people will look at a good idea or lesson in life and either promise themselves that they will pay heed (most never do), or they simply have the preconceived notion that it will never happen to them.

Recipe for this nonsense:
Ingredients:
One(1) Mossberg Catalog #50668 — 590® 12 gauge Pump Action w/ Speed-Feed® synthetic stock, Ghost Ring Sights, 9-shot capacity, 20″ cylinder bore barrel, parkerized finish. MSRP $591
Case Remington LE Reduced Recoil Buckshot (8 pellet) — 12-ga., 3¾”, 3Dram, 00BK 5 shots, 25 yards M/870™ Police, 18″ BBL., Imp. Cyl. Extreme Spread 9 7/8″
Take to local range, practice with one box of buckshot on various man-sized LE targets at ranges from 15 feet to 15 yards.
Bring Mossberg and remaining rounds back to business establishment. At first sign of two or more perps wearing suits and bow ties entering establishment at same time, deploy Mossberg, rack slide (safety on, of course, finger out of triggerguard).
Yield: Wet stains on front of pants equal to number of bow-tie-wearing Nation of Asslam perps.
Variation: Should said perps continue to advance (rare), safety off, treat like paper targets back at local range.
Enjoy!
I agree with the Emperor, however. The decision to shoot must be thought out, worked out, and fully decided in the store owner’s head prior to the incident. At the time any of these folks moves menacingly toward the shotgun wielder firing must commence. Tony, was indeed, very, very lucky.

Maybe they’re not as dumb as you think, Sire. Remember, this took place in Oakland, CA: a very politically-correct, majority black city in perhaps the most leftist, politically-correct state in the nation. Even if the cops and the local prosecutors actually have the guts to go after the Nation of Islam in such a racially and politically-charged environment, how likely is it that they’ll actually get a conviction in the case, regardless of the evidence?
From what I’ve seen and heard of Oakland, you’ve got a potential jury pool out there of a half-million O.J. jurors: angry, alienated and/or racist blacks who’ll cheerfully vote to acquit regardless of the evidence, simply because the defendants are themselves black; and tofu-brained liberals of all races who are too busy “questioning authority” to consider that maybe the authorities they’re questioning might actually be right. If you want a truly “fair trial” for the perpetrators of this crime - assuming this was actually committed by Calypso Louie Farraklan’s Nation of Islam - you’d have to move the trial to Salt Lake City.

I had the misfortune to be held up by two scumbags, 7 years ago. I was armed (S&W .357 snubby w/federal hydroshoks’). However, I had no time to draw my weapon as they came into where I worked with gun drawn and pointed at me, and a co-worker was between me and them. They got what they came for, but before they left one yelled at the other:”Shoot that motherf*cker!”
Thankfully he didn’t and I’m happy to say I didn’t mess my drawers during the incident. I can’t speak for the bumbling idiot who was with me though.
They were caught several weeks later.
I testified at the trial. The older of the two got 45 years, the other 20 or 25 years.
Hindsight being what it is, here is what I would have done differently.
I would have shot both scumbags as soon as my co-worker got out of my line of sight.
It turns out, we were just one of a string of robberies, beatings and terrorizing of old women, and the eventual pistol whipping of another businessman. Hence the long sentence.
It is amazing the number of things that go through your head in a situation like this. I was willing and probably able to get my gun out but I knew my co-worker would have been in the crossfire. There were other things I was thinking, but over the years that has been uppermost in my memory of the night.

Redeard that’s some story, some memory. Hell I second-guess myself later after conversations and internet posts, I can just imagine how miserable I could make myself, second-guessing what I did during something like that. Thanks for sharing it.
When I think about it, you have to figure that there are really only two options: the crooks get away or they don’t. And if you aren’t shooting them, they’re getting away. And if they’re getting away, sooner or later they’re going to do the same to someone else, contingent only on the police catching them immediately, which is seldom likely. In the case of using a gun or other deadly weapon (and even a lead pipe is a deadly weapon), probability says it will likely lead to serious injury or death for somebody. Hence, shooting someone who uses a deadly weapon in a crime, whether or not they are ready to take your life at that instant (there’s no telling! one has to assume they will or they wouldn’t have a weapon), is essentially a service to society.
Easy to think that in retrospect or from the armchair. Hope the logic works on the jury, LOL.

Minor quibble, Emperor:
When instructing Self / Home defense, NEVER ADVISE “SHOOT TO KILL”. If that is your mindset, be assured that some enterprising young
bottomfeeding piece of shit scumlawyer will be successful in taking from you everything you own.ALWAYS shoot to STOP the attack. If the little bastard dies, well, life sucks. As long as he is still capable of fighting / attacking / has a weapon in his hand, keep shooting, by all means. I chose to shoot to stop with the nastiest, fastest, fattest hollowpoints I can find. About 6 or 8 per perp.
Unfortunately, until this country institutes “Loser Pays”, there will ALWAYS be some

I have to note one thing with the unfortunate Tony in that article: This is the first case I have ever read about where someone had their firearm taken away when it was brandished. Sadly, the anti self-defense zealots will use that one case as PROOF that protecting yourself is pointless.

True, LC Wil, and as you said, few things say “stop” better than a half dozen hollowpoints. But good point: When you’re asked to give report, don’t say that you were trying to “kill” him. You were trying to protect your life and family by “stopping” him and he just didn’t seem to get that point until you ran out of Speer Gold Dots. Of course, if that doesn’t er, stop him and he’s still breathing by the time the EMTs arrive, you can rest assured that said
bottomfeeding piece of shit scumlawyer will have a much better case, seeing as how it’s a lot easier to call a breathing specimen to the stand than a corpse.I guess what I’m saying is to not take any chances that he’s still capable of hurting YOU, and to keep shooting until the threat has been, well, eliminated. And above ALL, to NOT try any of the fancy Hollywood “only shooting to disable him” B.S.
Of course, I DO realize that “shoot to kill” might be misinterpreted to mean “wait until he’s down and quiet, then pop one in his skull for insurance” which, though certainly tempting when you’re dealing with a piece of shit willing to kill you over spare change, isn’t likely to create a favorable impression in the courtroom. I’m glad we clarified that before somebody goes ahead and does something silly
(I think my choice of words might have had to do with how my dear Sar’Major put it way back when. But then again, he wasn’t exactly what you’d call politically correct. By a long shot. Ever. Damn, I miss him, the old bastard.)
And thanks for the perfect example in that article, B.C., even though I now have a bad case of the R.C.O.B. If that doesn’t get anybody reading it to get out of the couch and head on down to sign up for their CHL qualification course, then I’m afraid that nothing ever will.
Finally, McTANK:
Splendid point and one which I failed to make. Thanks for making up for my slack.
Of course, the continued well-being of yourself and your loved ones should always be on top of the list when it comes to making the decision to shoot as opposed to not to shoot, but one shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that if you don’t, the suffering and/or death of the criminal’s next victim will be due, in part, to your inaction. Not a nice thought, but a true one nonetheless.

ummmm….
Just for the record, that’s the current LE training mindset also, equally applicable as stated for home/self defense for EXACTLY the same reason. Too many scumbag defense teams using the “Shoot-to-Kill” concept against cops as well as honest armed citizens.
Training at the range should include the much thought of “Triple-Tap” technique (2-center mass + 1 headshot). Too many perps w/body armor, especially the baddest of the bad and therefore much more likely to be the stoppee. We did 50% headshots for quals this year, methinks the trend away from center-mass will continue. Lots of stats on center-mass being ineffective (too slow, unless you get major internal trauma) when dealing particularly with Tweakers (Meth/PCP).
A reasonable caliber, just above the eyebrow, levels the playing field (and bad guy) regardless of the physiologic/psychotropic drug effects.
Redeard #12- It’s generally NOT a good idea to attempt a draw against a drawn and pointed weapon. You had an innocent blocking your line of sight to the baddies, regardless. You did fine under the circumstances. Planning and practice still count even if it goes down like it did, Murphy is ALWAYS around.

Only one quibble with that, in my opinion, since I’m a great fan of the Mozambique approach myself: Unless you happen to be the reincarnation of Billy the Kid, I’d still strongly recommend center mass for the first shot. If he’s not an “enhanced” perp it’ll drop him and if he is (assuming that you’re using a manly caliber), it’ll still throw him off-balance, giving you a much better opportunity to finish the job without him getting the drop on you.
That’s not to say that training head shots and triple-taps is a bad idea, because it isn’t. Not at all. It increases your proficiency with your firearm, not to mention your ability to shoot without thinking, focusing purely on the task and nothing else. Oh, and it’s great fun too. It’s a great rush when you lower your gun at the range and see two holes in the center and one in the middle of the head.
Which brings me to something else that I like to emphasize: Just because training is vitally important to yourself as well as any bystanders happening to be around should you, Heaven forbid, ever have to put your training to actual use, doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be fun as well. Fun is good. If you’re having a good time you learn better, not to mention that nobody likes to spend thousands of practice rounds being bored out of their skulls.
Bring the family and teach them to shoot as well. Every member of your household proficient with a firearm increases your chances and, just as importantly, eases your mind on those occasions when you can’t be at home with them. Don’t forget the importance of your training, but don’t leave out the fun factor either. And shooting is fun.
Oh, and if you can’t seem to get something right, don’t just ignore it. Ask somebody, preferably an instructor if you have one nearby, and let them help you get better. Nobody’s born a super shot (I certainly know that I myself have a lot of room for improvement), and a simple adjustment of your technique can sometimes produce dramatic improvements, which is as pleasing as it is confidence-building. An example: The Empress’ first few magazines had a bad spread, and I knew she could do better so I took a look at her while she was shooting and noticed that she was “hugging” the grip with her trigger finger. One small adjustment to that and she was firing ragged holes. It’s not always as simple as that, but if you’ve fired a hundred rounds with no noticable improvement and you haven’t asked somebody, you’re wasting ammo, and wasting ammo makes the Baby Jesus cry.
There’s nothing “embarrasing” about asking for tips. For one thing, everybody loves sharing the lessons they’ve learned themselves over the years and, for another, nothing you may feel as a result of asking for help is as embarrassing as being dead from a lack of hitting your target.
Oh, and when you’re given advice, do yourself a favor and listen. You may think that your stance, grip, breathing technique etc. is what works best for you and be unwilling to change it as a result (I’ve been guilty of that quite often, but I’ve gotten better over the years), but that doesn’t mean that it’s true. At least try doing as suggested and see if it works. After all, if you have no intention of doing so, then what’s the point in asking?
But why am I carrying on like that? You all know all of this already and, besides, most of you have most likely forgotten more about shooting than I’ve ever learned.
Thanks, that’s high praise indeed since I don’t
I’m just passing on what I learned myself many moons ago, most of it as a result of being at the tender mercies of aforementioned Sar’ Major who could shoot the nads off a skeeter at 200 yards without putting down his beer, but quite a bit of it from others as well. But that doesn’t make me an instructor, far from it, just somebody who loves to share what he’s learned with others and somebody who is extremely passionate about helping my fellow law-abiding citizens change from potential victim status to being the worst nightmare of perps everywhere.
If you learn something useful, pass it on.
Thanks again, and I’ll stop babbling now
