Good Men. True Heros

Leave a comment

All too often the news media throws around the work “Hero“. They use it to describe someone who makes a speech about climate change or some other faux outrage, someone who protests, even for criminals who are justifiably shot.

Here are a couple of examples of what I believe are HEROES. You probably have not heard of them.

This new year’s day, 12 men assaulted 1 man in the New York City subway. The victim was shoved onto the tracks in front of an oncoming train. The victims arm was broken in the fall. An unnamed 36-year-old man leapt down into the roadbed and lifted the victim to safety. The man who saved the victim was hit and killed by the oncoming train.

In March of 1992 at the Niagara Falls Convention Center in New York, a five ton monster truck went out of control and crashed into the crowd of spectators. 82-year-old Lester Gilliam saw that the truck was about to crush a 10-year-old boy so he leapt into action, grabbed the boy, and threw him to safety. Mr. Gilliam was crushed to death by the out of control truck.

These were ordinary men who sacrificed their own lives to save another. They did not know the people that they saved. They just knew that something needed to be done and did it.  Without hesitation.  Without thinking about the consequences to themselves.

These good men are heroes.

Ban Prop Guns!!!

Once again, the hysteria over firearms hits the press. Actor Alec Baldwin fired a weapon on a movie set and AT THIS MOMENT for unknown reasons ended up killing the director of cinematography.  This is a tragedy as is any death.

I have read several “news” reports citing the “SCORES” of firearms tragedies or “a long history” of firearms accidents on movie sets. Directors are calling for the banning of “prop guns” during the production of movies as they say computer generated graphics are good enough, even if they look fake. A director that I’ve never heard of named Craig Zobel said, “There’s no reason to have guns loaded with blanks or anything on set anymore,  (They) Should just be fully outlawed.”  Notice that he is calling for legislation not just an industry agreed to prohibition.

Once again, back the F’ing truck up a few yards.

In ALL of the “news” reports, only TWO incidences are cited, Jon-Erik Hexum and Brandon Lee. Hexum killed HIMSELF when he was fooling around with a pistol showing off to a female on the set, by placing the pistol to his head and firing a blank round into his skull. That was NOT an ACCIDENT, that was plain stupidity. Hexum was a MORON and splattered his own brain, therefore that doesn’t count as an “accident” or mishap.  Brandon Lee’s death happened because the armorer on set didn’t fully clear the weapon of a bullet, from a “dummy round”, which had become lodged in the cylinder of the revolver used in the scene. A subsequently loaded “blank round” propelled the lodged bullet down the barrel leading to the death of Lee. That was determined to be “negligence” on the part of the armorer. The facts are that prior to this incident involving Alec Baldwin there are a total of ONE death due to the USE OF FIREARMS on movie sets.

Perhaps the histrionic news media should review facts before writing stories. ONE is not MORE THAN FORTY (“scores“, a score is 20 so “scores” would imply 40 or more). ONE is not a “LONG HISTORY” of accidents.

More people have been killed while filming automobile and aircraft scenes in movies than by filming firearms scenes. Why isn’t there any outcry to eliminate cars and planes in movies?

Minority Is The Operative Word

Angry Joe let loose on the American people on September 9, 2021, ranting angrily about the China Virus.  I suspect this was truly a deflection from his botched surrender and retreat from Afghanistan, but here is what he had to say.

“Many of us are frustrated with the nearly 80 million Americans who are still not vaccinated…” and “But what makes it incredibly more frustrating is that we have the tools to combat COVID-19, and a distinct MINORITY of Americans… are keeping us from turning the corner“, Joe screamed at us.

Just who are these 80 MILLION that will cause the rest of us to suffer under the TYRANNICAL MANDATES of Angry Joe?

Here are da facts, Jack.

30 MILLION Hispanic (AKA Brown People) and 22 MILLION Black folk are unvaccinated. That’s 52 MILLION of Angry Joe’s 80 MILLION problem children. Black and Brown comprise almost TWO THIRDS of the reason for Joe’s “frustration“.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation as of Sept 7, 2021, Hispanics who received “at least one dose” of the vaccine was at 48% (52% unvaccinated). The vaccination rate for BLACKS was at 43% (57% unvaccinated). You can see the trendlines HERE. BLACK had the lowest vaccination rate. There are 57 MILLION Hispanics which give us 30 MILLION unvaccinated BROWN.  There are 39 MILLION Blacks which gives us 22 MILLION unvaccinated BLACK.  Again that’s 52 MILLION unvaccinated MINORITY folks.  My people the Asians have the highest vaccination rate at 68%, even higher than Whitey.

Crazy Joe and media are portraying this “problem” as a Trump voter, white supremacy problem.

Joey, the racist that he is (according to his BFF Kamala Harris), should be calling it as it is and shouting, “All you darkies need to do your part! I’m sick and tired of you damn minorities ruining it for the rest of us!“

Truth in lending, Angry Joe’s number of 80 million unvaccinated makes no sense.  It has no basis in fact that I can see.  The number looks to be closer to 147 million unvaccinated by my calculations.  The real numbers are elusive.
