Mystery Skulls Animated - Freaking Out

I couldn't get this to display properly last night.  Let me set this one here.

Mystery Skulls Animated - Ghost

Well, Halloween approaches.  So I thought I'd start finding some "spooky" videos.  I'll start with the MysteryBen27 video of "Ghost" by Mystery Skulls. 









I'll also try to include a link to "Freaking Out," the continuation of this story.

Interesting article from the Washington Post.

RUSH LIMBAUGH READS MEGAN FOX'S ARTICLE

Here is the article that explains it.  PJ Media: Youtuber demonetized just hours after Rush Limbaugh reads her article on his show.



The problem is that YouTube (and Google) have a monopoly on the new free speech on the internet.  If you agree or disagree on their words, well, free speech isn't just about hearing what you want to hear.  But YouTube shouldn't take money away from people "just because."  Many gun bloggers have been demonetized by YouTube.  It's not a good thing to fight free speech like this.

Another article on CDC firearms research.

Here is another article I found from the Federalist. 

The Federalist: Why Congress cut the CDC's gun research budget.

Popehat: Talking productively about guns

A horrible thing happened in Vegas this weekend.  I should post something commemorating the victims, but I have no readers to my blog. 

On the Book of Face, many of my friends are posting the normal leftist vitrol.  For the most part, I try to not respond to my friends posts if they are blatantly extremist.  Today I made a mistake and asked a question.  

Long story short, I am now researching issues with CDC gun violence research.  Sadly Google only finds left wing stories, and I can't find the actual articles from certain authors even by using the proper keywords.  Eh.  

So, I found this article by Popehat.  I'll post it for reading.  

Talking productively about guns

ETA: An opinion on gun control by Larry Correia. 

Hmm.  Apparently Wisconsin voting machines were not targeted by the russians, nor did Homeland Security claim that they were targeted.  Or something like that.

Lindsey Stirling - Love's Just A Feeling feat. Rooty

Lindsey Stirling has some new music out!

Officer Killed Deputy Dinkheller

Use of force.  There is a lot of talk of the "Ferguson Effect."  In the 90's a deputy stopped a man who went back to his truck and got a rifle.  The minute that rifle came out leathal force was authorized.  The deputy tried to talk the suspect down, but was instead murdered.

Well, this is a stupid article.

Police are powerless to remove an online suicide video.

Why is it stupid?  It's claiming that the police can not remove a video of a 12 year old girl committing suicide.

Well, duh!  Polk County PD (Georgia) only has authority in Polk County.  They do not have National nor International authority.  What they are doing is requesting that the various websites take down the video after it is posted, which those websites are doing.

On that note, court orders can be requested, but they only work on each individual event.  Not a broad brush ban.

Now why can't they just block everything all at once?  Because once it's on the internet, it is out there forever.  Anyone can make a copy and post it on almost any social media website.  And if they have their own copy of the video/photo/music/et al., they can just upload it whenever they want.  At this point, it becomes a game of Whack-A-Mole.

Deputy involved shooting at Inova Fairfax Hospital.

This is interesting.

Video of a deputy involved shooting at a Fairfax, VA Hospital.

This incident occured on August 15, 2016 at Inova Fairfax Hospital.  At about 50 seconds in, you see Mr. Gomez start swinging at the security officer.  At 3:20, the deputy arrives on scene.  At 3:30, Mr. Gomez charges at the deputy.  At 3:34, Mr. Gomez falls to the ground.

For the most part, private security ony observes and reports.  When the guy started swinging at them, they did as they should and they got out of the way.

In Fairfax, there is both a Police Department and a Sheriff's Office.  Now the deputies tend to handle the courts and civil matters, while the police are tasked with the handling of legal matters.

I'm not too clear on why the deputy was at the hospital.

There wasn't much time for the deputy to defend himself.  If I recall correctly, deputies in Fairfax are not issued Tasers.  On an aside, the 9th Circuit ruled that Tasers were tantamount to lethal force, so many agencies are now getting rid of them.  (My agency is letting the majority of them age out, while most of our officers are not even bothering to carry them.)

SCARY STORY TIME: "La Llorona- Don't Look For Her, Pretend You Never Saw...

Here you go, a nice story about the lady in black from Unit #522.



A nice telling!

(Maika ft. Oliver & Gumi) La Llorona (Vocaloid Original)

Trick or Treat!



I had intended on scouring YouTube for some nice Halloween vibe videos.  But life and work have been in overdrive (working 12-16 hours straight for two weeks is not fun) so I've been slacking off even more than normal.



So I posted an interesting Vocaloid song by Steampianist based off of a Mexican campfire tale.  I hope you enjoy!

Swamp Witch- Jim Stafford

Well, it's October again!  Halloween is coming up.  Adorable Preciousness will probably be a princess this year, so I guess I'll be dealing with the Disney phase for the next few years.

Anyhow, I am going to start posting either spooky or dark music found on YouTube to get some of us ready for Halloween.


Enjoy!

Oh Be Clever - River

In lieu of posting.

I had to laugh.

Owain Phyfe had an amazing voice.  His music is both evocative and calming.  He passed way too soon.

I don't think I need to add any comments, it speaks for itself.

The Abode of McThag: Defintitions

Quick thoughts on McThag's post "Definitions."

Quick thoughts on McThag's post "Definitions."

McThag had a good post about making the "no fly list" the "no buy list."

Cut and pasted:

It's not that we want terrorists to get hold of guns. It's that what we'd call a terrorist won't match what will be a terrorist by law. 

So, how does this apply?  Look, I'm going to make this fast because I've got a lawn to mow and only a few hours before the storms roll in again.  

Politicians tend to aim for the low hanging fruit.  They make some half arsed definition that may or may not have real world application.  And those on the no fly list, a good number of them are on it because their ID got stolen after they traveled to a nation that was not as stringent with their security procedures with passports as the USA is.  

Look at the AWB.  You could still purchase an AR as long as it didn't have too many "scary" items attached.  Look at the bullet button in California.  It is already been bypassed.  

The law is a scary thing when it is drafted incompetently.
