Halifax Shooting

CTV is reporting that "A Halifax man has life-threatening injuries after being shot downtown on Friday evening. Halifax Regional Police responded to a report of gunshots just before 8:30 p.m. at an intersection in the 1200 block of Barrington Street. Multiple officers responded to the scene and located the wounded male but there is no suspect description at this time."

Fatal shooting in Nanaimo

CTV is reporting that " One person is dead after a brazen daylight shooting in Nanaimo on Thursday afternoon. The shooting occurred at the Rock City Centre at 2980 Island Highway, where there are multiple fast-food restaurants. Officers were called to the plaza's parking lot around 3:30 p.m. for reports of shots fired, Nanaimo RCMP said in a news release Thursday.'

"When they arrived, they found a deceased man in a parked vehicle, who appeared to have died from gunshot wounds. Mounties said they have arrested several people in connection to their investigation. The arrests were made at the Best Western Hotel on Metral Street, police said, adding that they had also seized a vehicle associated with the arrested individuals."

Update: Dr Spin is reporitng that the victim was Yasin Khan.

I'm watching a cool movie on Amazon Prime called Haywire and I didn't realize the dazzling female lead was Gina Carano so I checked out her twitter and saw this post. All hail yo. She was legitimate MMA. In the movie she took the guy out with a triangle choke. That's keeping it real. I guess she's too real for fake and deplorable Hollywood. Gina could easily be the next James Bond. Hollywood doesn't want women who think. They just want women who comply.

Las Vegas and Alaska are open for business

The Vegas Golden Nights beat the Minnesota Wild today 3-1 before another sold-out stadium tying up the series at one game a piece. Texas is open, Florida is open, Las Vegas is open. The sky hasn't fallen. Right now Canada and the US is a tale of two cities: slavery and freedom. Bonnie Henry and Theresa Tam are lying freaks. Who's the bigger fool? The fool or the fool that listens to the fool? We are the bigger fool. They are stealing the bread off our table.



The Times Colonist is reporting that "The U.S. Senate has given unanimous consent to temporarily allow Alaska-bound cruise ships to bypass Victoria and Vancouver ports in an attempt to salvage a listing cruise-ship industry and provide a much-need economic boost to struggling Alaskan communities that depend on the vessels." The Americans have woken up. So should we.

Putting the Gaza conflict into perspective

I just want to pause and point out the obvious because people have stopped using their brain. That is the problem with our society. People don't think. They don't question the narrative. They just get all emotional and throw rational thought out the window. Candace Owens, the founder of Black Exit, repeatedly states that Black Americans need to stop making so many emotional decisions and start making more rational decisions. We all do.

When I see headlines that read Stop the Evil Zionists, I'm like GMAFB. Was Bob Marley an Evil Zionist? He sang about the lions of Zion. I don't support evicting Palestinians out of their homes but I am a Zionist. I support the ideal presented in the Oasis of Peace where Jews and Arabs live together in peace based on the principles of religious freedom. Just like here in Vancouver.

Gaza is firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel. The Times of Israel is reporting that Hamas says it’s aiming for IAF bases. That is simply not true because it is not possible with the type of rockets they are using. "These rockets cannot be fired to target specific military objectives in or near civilian areas, and are indiscriminate when used against targets in population centers."

Now let's put this into perspective and compare Israel with the United States. No disrespect to our southern neighbours, but the Americans are pretty aggressive. Shoot from the hip so to speak. Can you imagine what would happen if Canada or Mexico started indiscriminately firing rockets into the US all over civilian areas? The American people would lose their sh*t.

They's be like, nuke 'em. Take the average American. You start firing rockets at their houses in their homes, they would be outraged and come unglued. There is a lot of justifiable righteous indignation over the lockdown fraud. There are many groups that would love to highjack that agenda for their own purposes which are less than honourable. Peace is honourable.

However, recently there was a guy on a bullhorn at a pro-Palestinian protest in London that was shouting rape their wives, rape their daughters. That man was a servant of Satan.

In previous conflicts Israel has had with Gaza, they would target a site that was launching rockets and issue a brief warning before they fired. Insane women would then run to the site screaming bla bla bla in hopes of dying so they can say Israel killed civilians. This is what I meant when I said people in Gaza are bat sh*t crazy. I'm not talking about the Palestinians. I'm talking about the whack jobs who are trying to get killed so they can blame Israel for civilian casualties. When you fire rockets into Israel from civilian or media towers, you are putting innocent people at risk.

It comes as no surprise to see the BLM leaders calling out for Solidarity with Palestine. Remember, BLM has been highjacked by Anarchists and Communists. There are no black rights in Communism because in Communism no one has any rights. Palestinians have no rights in Communism either. Just as the Uyghurs in China. Communism lies to everyone to trick them into giving up their liberty and become slaves. This is why we need to start using our brains and stop being so emotional. We will all end up slaves if we don't.

Richmond's Arjan Bhullar wins MMA title

The Richmond News is reporitng that "Richmond’s Arjan Bhullar has become a world champion at mixed martial arts (MMA). The former Canadian Olympic and Commonwealth wrestler won the ONE Championship heavyweight world title in the early hours of Saturday in Singapore."

Justin Trudeau is a Glutton

The Communist News Network is reporting that the unethical committee has cleared Justan Idiot of wrongdoing in the WE Charity scandal but found the former finance minister broke conflict law. That is ridiculous. It wasn't the finance minister's charity, it was Justin Trudeau's charity. His family financially benefitted from tax dollars allocated to that money laundering front.

The Kenya connection to the fraud involved bribery and threats. In Kenya Bill Gates and the WHO were accused by a collation of Catholic Bishops of spiking tetanus shots with a sterilization drug. In Communist China forced sterilization of the Uighurs is common.

Commodus's obsessive adoration for genocide in Communist China is mentally deranged. The politicians in the Communist Party of China are the richest in the world. There is no social justice in China, only censorship and lies. No Democratic Socialist holds Communist China up as a model for socialism. They all speak out against China's human rights violations.

They all say that China, Russia and Eastern Europe were bad examples of Socialism. They claim Cuba is the best model of socialism that we have. I disagreed. I said although Cuba is way better than China, they still have political prisoners and practice religious discrimination. The best model for socialism that we have is the kibbutz movement in Israel. People are free to come and go as they please while all the profits go towards raising the standard of living for everyone.

I have always said that true socialism or at least the ideal they claim to aspire to, can only exist within a free republic where civil liberty is protected by law. James Connolly understood this. So did Nelson Mandella. If civil liberty is not protected by law, Communism becomes Fascism. ANTIFA built the Berlin Wall. This is what Justin Trudeau aspires to. He is a mental case. His out of control spending will enslave our grandchildren for years to come. Slavery is the true goal of his dishonesty and gluttony. There is no social justice in it. He has gone from We to Me.

Natural gas replacing diesel in the shipping industry

Speaking of fake environmentalists with a hidden agenda, Fortis ran a commercial recently about using natural gas to fuel ships instead of diesel. That would be a huge step forward for the environnement. If semi-trailers ran natural gas instead of diesel, CO2 emissions would be greatly reduced. The fake environmentalists don't support this because they are fake environmentalists. Reducing emissions and saving fuel costs. Now that's a win win. Saudi is doing it now too.

A letter from Stephen Harper

Yesterday I come home from work to find a letter from Stephen Harper. On the envelope it said "A personal message from Stephen Harper." Then I pause and think who the f*ck is Stephen Harper? It says pc and cc after his name and I mistake it for QC wondering if this is another lawyer wanting to sue me. Then I see Rt Hon Stephen J. Harper and I think wait a sec, this isn't from the former Prime Minister? The term right honourable and Stephen Harper is a complete oxymoron. Stephen Harper is a charlatan. He has no honour.

Stephen Harper was a bad man and still is. He is a pork barrel, tax and spend globalist who is the enemy of civil liberty and fiscal responsibility like unto lyin Brian Mulroney who was the reason the Reform Party was created. The letter was all about his endorsement of Erin the Tool.

I joined the conservative party because of Leslyn Lewis. I left the conservative party because of Erin O'Toole. Leslyn Lewis got more votes in the second round than Erin O'Toole and Peter McKay but was dropped from the ballot because she received less points. Yet no one has explained how the points are calculated so we can audit those calculations.

In his snake oil letter, Stephen Harper states that he would never have been able to become Prime minister without the support of grass roots activists asking them for money. Stephen Harper would never have become Prime minister without the endorsement of Quebec and he would never have got the endorsement of Quebec without Jean Charest whom he betrayed.

When Jean Charest announced his intention to run for the leadership of the conservative party and save the world from the Justn Trudeau's financial crisis, Stephen Harper opposed him to support his globalist war crime comrade Peter McKay.

Jean Charest would have united the country and won the election. Erin O'Toole has divided the party and will not win the election. Erin will lose the gains Andrew Sheer made. Stephen Harper would rather have Justin Trudeau win than a true conservative who will oppose his globalist attack on civil liberty. That is why he sabotaged the leadership race again.

Maxime Bernier is the only Conservative leader on the ballot. The Green party are not environmentalists. They have been highjacked by fake environmentalists with an insane leftist agenda that will destroy the environment and our civil liberty. I support Mad Max.

I am marching for freedom again in Toronto with @Bbawa and thousands of Canadians who oppose authoritarian lockdowns.

Fatal shooting in Burnaby ID'd

City News is reporitng that "One person has died, and two have been injured after a shooting outside a Cactus Club at Burnaby’s Market Crossing Mall Thursday evening."

The Compromised BC CFSEU told Dr Spin that it was a member of the Brother's Keepers who died. Rivals did not kill Chad and Ali. The club did. I'm not sure if this was a rival or internal. If it was a rival, it was the Kang Group which is now called BIBO (Blood in Blood out) after the Kangs were killed named after Gary Kang's record label.

I do want to reiterate that I do not support the increase in violence. This is what happens when you let drug dealers sell drugs without restrictions. They will always fight over the profits. What we are doing is obviously not working. In the past 10 years nothing has changed because we refuse to address the real problem that Julain Sher mentioned in his book the Road to Hell. Other provinces started making Hells Angel drug busts but BC has not.

The Hells Angels hired the Brother's Keepers. Any violence tied to the Brother's Keepers is tied to the Hells Angels. After the Edmonton Hells Angels killed Ali, they hired the Driftwood Crips. After the Wolf Pack who sell drugs in the DTES for the Hells Angels rolled on the Driftwood Crips, I'm not sure who the Hells Angels are paying to shoot people now. They are still at the root of this.

I am told the Brother's Keepers claimed responsibility for killing Mo in the DTES which would mean this new fake gang war is just more about the Hells Angels cleaning house.

Update: The Indo Canadian Voice is confirming that the victim was Jaskeert Kalkat.

CBC has listed 7 recent fatal shootings in Metro Vancovuer.

The two biggest names on the list are Gary Kang, January 6 and Anees Mohammed, January 7th. It was made to look like Mo was killed in retaliation for Gary Kang but the very next day is difficult to plan on such short notice and the Brothers Keepers claimed responsibility for shooting Mo. So when you look at the list, I don't see the Hells Angels taking any hits. It's all one sided. Even Tequel Willis. That one broke our hearts and Little Man from the Driftwood Crips was named for that because the Wolf Pack rolled on him after hiring him.

Mike Farnworth is a F*ck up

Dr Spin is reporitng that "Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said he has every confidence police in the Lower Mainland have the right strategies in place to combat escalating gang violence. Farnworth, who is also solicitor general, met with the chiefs of police of municipal departments and commanders of RCMP detachments on Thursday afternoon."

We had hoped for so much more from this guy. Just like with Dwayne McDonald, we were sadly disappointed. BC is the only province in Canada that does not make Hells Angel drug busts. After David Giles was busted in Kelowna and the OMGU was disbanded, the compromised CFSEU stopped arresting Hells Angel associates for drugs. He knows this and he thinks that's OK. That's because he is a f*ck up. He wants to profit from crime not stop it. God damn you.

The guys at work were saying the people who shot the guy at the Airport will get in more toruble for breaking the travel restrictions than for committing murder. Everything is NOT OK.

Update: Here's the latest BC RCMPS bullsh*t. They bust a drug lab in Coquitlam without drugs only precursors and no arrests. This was the Compromised BCCFSEU offering up another fake publicity stunt. Every other province makes huge drug seizures tied to the Hells Angels. BC doesn't because BC is the most corrupt province in Canada. Mike Farnworth is just another Wally Oppal. The BC NDP are no better than the BC Liberals. History has recorded that.

Todd Loewen calls on Jason Kenney to resign

Rebel News is reporitng that "United Conservative Party caucus chair Todd Loewen has stepped down from his position, while also calling for Alberta Premier Jason Kenney to resign."

“I no longer believe that caucus can function properly,” Loewen wrote. “Meetings have been cancelled without members' consent, significant decisions of government have been made without notice to members, and our input as elected members is rarely considered.” Weeks ago, Loewen was one of 17 UCP MLAs who signed a letter highly critical of Kenney for throwing the province back into more stringent lockdown measures. The dysfunction among the ranks of the government, Loewen said, was driven by poor leadership on Kenney's behalf.

The Western Standard is reporting that "The letter comes as Kenney’s leadership is already on the ropes. More than a dozen UCP constituency associations have already passed special resolutions demanding a leadership review, however Kenney poured cold water on the idea, pushing the vote to just six months before the next election.

Jason Kenny is not a Conservative he is a globalist like Rob Ford. Time to examine the election fraud allegations when he became leader of the party. Election fraud matters.

Violence erupts in Gaza and Israel

The Indian Express is reporting that "As localized violence in Jerusalem escalated into cross border conflict, Hamas launched a rocket attack at Israel which killed two people . Israel responded with airstrikes in Gaza in which 26 Palestinians, including nine children were killed."

Jerusalem, O Jerusalem, heavy sigh. First, I will declare that I do not have a blind support for Israel. I don't have a blind support for anyone or anything. Israel is not always right yet Israel has a right to exist like everyone else. One of the things I like about being Canadian is that I am allowed to have Jewish friends and Muslim friends because here in Canada, no one cares what religion you are. I admire people who strive to follow a religion. The Byrds had it right.

Two things have happened. A rise in tensions in Jerusalem sparked a conflict in Gaza. Israel targeted Hamas in Gaza and Gaza returned fire indiscriminately. Before I dive into the conflict, I will point out that the current inhabitants of Gaza do not have hereditary title. They are not the original inhabitants of Gaza the Philistines were. The Philistines were wiped out by Egypt.

I will also point out that the Jews do not have hereditary title to all of Israel. When Joshua conquered Israel, many areas were left unconquered. Joshua was commanded "if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him."

Bombing Gaza during Ramadan is not nice. Ramadan is a holy time where Muslims fast during the daylight hours each day for 30 days. They eat after sunset and before sunrise for the 30 days. At the end of Ramadan, they have a feast. It's similar to Lent and Easter only more intense.

Reuters posted an explanation of what the previous tensions in Jerusalem were about which sparked the violence. "Since the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in mid-April, Palestinians have faced off nightly with Israeli police in East Jerusalem, who put up barriers to stop evening gatherings at the walled Old City's Damascus Gate. Palestinians saw the barriers as a restriction on their freedom to assemble. Police said they were there to maintain order."

"Tensions have also been high over a long-running legal case that could see multiple Palestinian families evicted from their homes to make way for Israeli settlers who, backed by an Israeli court ruling, want to move in." Evicting Palestinians out of their homes is not Zionism.

When I personally see the current extremisms which exist on both sides of the conflict, I'm tempted to throw my hands in the air and say f*ck all of ya. You are all missing the point. I support the Iron Dome. Gaza has a right to exist but they are bat sh*t crazy and Israel's treatment of Gaza is heavy handed. Evicting Palestinians out of their homes in West bank is ungodly.

Unfortunately, we know how this is going to end. All the world will unite against Israel. They will conquer Israel and place Jerusalem under siege for 3 1/2 years. Two false prophets and two true prophets will rise. The two true prophets will be slain once again like unto Jean Baptiste.

In the end, God will save Israel but that's not all. We are forgetting why God let Israel be overrun. Israel is not always right. The pride cycle has shown us that. God is not a respecter of persons.

In Vancouver Jews and Arabs can be friends without a problem because this is neutral ground. As Orlando Bloom said, Jerusalem drives men mad. People are more important than places.

8 cases of blood clots in Ontario from AstraZeneca

Update: BC man hospitalized with AstraZeneca vaccine-induced blood clot

B.C. woman hospitalized after AstraZeneca shot

BC records 2nd case of AZ blood clots in Langley

Mother dies in Edmonton after getting the vaccine

CBC is reporting that "Ontario will no longer give the AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID-19 vaccine as a first dose due to the risk of rare blood clots. Williams said the decision was made out of an abundance of caution. The blood clotting syndrome, while rare, can be fatal."

"Dr. Jessica Hopkins, the chief health protection and emergency preparedness officer with Public Health Ontario, said there have been eight cases of VITT in Ontario as of May 8, 2021. She said the rate has gone from one in 125,000 to one in 60,000." Fatalities are indeed serious.

Do the benefits outweigh the risks? No they don't because they are lying about the numbers. Look at Texas and Florida - wide open. Texas hosted the Toronto Blue Jays to a packed stadium while Florida recently hosted a sold-out UFC event. When Texas and Florida opened half the States had mask mandates while the other half had none. Yet all the States were open for business and more states will drop more restrictions July 4th with or without a vaccine.

Joe Rogan called out Canada's lockdown insanity. “Canada’s f*cked right now,” he states. “They’re so locked down, and I don’t understand why they think that’s good. I don’t understand why they think that’s the solution.” He then notes he “was just in Florida, and it’s like nothing’s happening. Like maybe you’ll get sick, maybe you won’t. But we’re out here with no masks on, 15,000 people in an area for the UFC fights, it was madness. It was powerful.”

Rogan then says people simply need to “take your vitamin D, sleep, drink water” in order to fend off the disease. “You can’t do Canada,” he adds. “You can’t do Canada where you have Gestapo pulling people over for your papers. ‘Why are you out of the house? There’s a cold floating around, why are you out of the house?'” He is absolutely right. This is why they don't want large gatherings. So people don't listen to reason they just listen to the Marxist propaganda Global television and the MSM is bombarding us with.

CNN already admitted the motive for the fake lockdown - to push the vaccines. The pharmaceutical companies are making billions of dollars from these vaccines. Rebel News pointed out that this second dose scam was simply a way for them to double their money.

Look at the US and look at Wuhan. Even Europe is opening up. We are going in the wrong direction because we are stupid. Bonnie Henry and Theresa Tam are lying freaks in bed with the pharmaceutical companies. Who's the bigger fool? The fool or the fool that listens to the fool.

A spike in violence: Making sense of nonsense

Everyone is no doubt starting to get concerned about the recent spike in public shootings and to be perfectly honest, I'm getting too old for this. The NDP don't give a f*ck. BC is the only province in Canada that doesn't make Hells Angel drug busts. Ever since David Giles was busted in Kelowna and the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Unit was disbanded, the Compromised CFSEU stopped making Hells Angel drug busts and just went after their rivals. The NDP know that but haven't done anything about it which makes them criminally culpable in the violence.

10 years later - The Hells Angels are still at the root of BC Gang conflict

Kelowna Warriors charges stayed

Castanet is reporting that " Twenty-four drug and weapons charges against two West Kelowna residents were dropped Tuesday on the day their jury trial was set to begin, but the Crown won't say why. The charges were laid against 35-year-old Tyson Bone and 27-year-old Savanna Malone in July 2016, after police raided a home on West Kelowna's Windt Road and seized drugs, guns and ammunition."

"At the time, Kelowna RCMP said the items belonged to a new gang in town, called the Kelowna Warriors. A Kelowna Warriors leather vest was included in an RCMP media presentation to show off results of the raid, along with several guns, a crossbow, GHB, cocaine and methamphetamine. Police also said a seven-year-old child was found inside the home."

"Following the raid, both Bone and Malone were charged with three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, along with 17 additional firearms offences. After the case was sent to a Supreme Court trial following a preliminary inquiry in November 2017, a jury trial was scheduled to begin this week. But at the last minute, the Public Prosecution Service of Canada stayed all the charges against Bone and Malone Tuesday morning. And they won't say why."

"A 2016 Supreme Court of Canada decision ruled that Supreme Court cases must be completed within 30 months of charges being laid, or be at risk of being thrown out. Bone and Malone's case was more than 34 months old, but the PPSC would not disclose if this was the reason the charges were stayed." Looks like they blew it on time limits again.

Malone doesn't sound First Nations but she looks like she could be. Tyson looks white. I think they should focus on getting their child back from social services. Just sayn.

Fatal shooting at Vancouver International Airport

CTV is reporting that "Homicide investigators say the victim of a brazen mid-afternoon shooting outside Vancouver International Airport Sunday afternoon was a 28-year-old man who was known to police. The shooting prompted a large police response around 3 p.m. that briefly involved shutting down three Canada Line stations and several major roadways in an effort to prevent the killers from getting away. Ultimately, however, they did get away."

"Integrated Homicide Investigation Team spokesperson Sgt. Frank Jang told reporters at YVR Sunday night that an SUV found on fire in Surrey, 28 kilometres away from the crime scene, is believed to be the getaway vehicle. The Richmond RCMP detachment said earlier Sunday that its officers had intercepted the suspect vehicle as it fled the scene, and that the suspects inside fired weapons at police. No officers were injured in the incident, according to RCMP."

This is new. These guys normally just shoot at each other they don't shoot at the police.

Dr Spin and the Indo Canadian Voice are reporting that the victim was Karman Grewal. IF Karman Grewal was affiliated with the UN 6 years ago, it only makes sense he is affiliated with the Kang Group now. The ones the Hells Ange are eliminating. Once again, the Hells Angels are responsible for this new spike in violence. The NDP are aiding them because they don't want to stop crime, they just want to profit from it. The Hells Angels are still at the root of BC Gang conflict

Fatal shooting in Burnaby - Update

Update: Fatal shooting at Vancouver International Airport

The Burnaby Now is reporting that "Burnaby RCMP are dealing with their second shooting in less than a week – this time a homicide. A tweet by the police says officers are on scene tonight (Saturday) for a male who was shot around 7 p.m. at 12th Avenue and Sixth Street. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has now tweeted that the shooting victim has since died. A suspect is believed to have fled on foot. (See more in a tweet posted below in which you can hear shots being fired.)" Another mother loses a son for Mother's Day.

Mother's Day 2021

Today is Mother's Day in Canada. I realize other countries celebrate it on other days but the important thing is to honour motherhood. Last year a medical condition forced me to call a doctor. He looked at my Xray and asked how's the pain and I said compared to what? Childbirth? Everything is relative so it is. The male ego falls short in hospital case rooms around the world.

I realize there are good mothers and bad mothers just like there are good fathers and bad fathers but for the most part, all of us do our best. There's no such thing as the perfect child either. All of us have strengths and weaknesses and all of us make mistakes. Life gives us the opportunity to learn and grow. Martin Luther King said the old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

One year Kerri Krysko gave a shout out to all the fathers who've had to take on the role of mother as a single parent. Likewise, many mothers have had to also take on the role of father while raising their child. I always used to say sometimes no father is better than a bad father but like I said we all just do the best we can and we all want what's best for our children.

Sometimes we fall short. Human limitations show us the need to rest, learn and grow. Previously I've made posts about fathers in the hood and as I recall the predominate theme in those is that a good parent protects their children. They do not put them in harms way.

Although I look to Tupac for an example of fathers in the hood, I can't visualize an example of mothers in the hood. I was blessed with wonderful parents. I look at my mother and living in the hood would simply never enter her mind. Why would you do that she would ask?

I realize that poverty removes that option for many. Some people don't have a choice - they can't leave. Others valiantly charge in trying to save those who can't afford to leave. Personally, I can't serve in the DTES anymore. What we are doing there is wrong and it breaks my heart.

I'm not reporting on the situation in Colombia anymore because I think both sides are wrong. Obviously, the military using live ammunition on protesters is an abomination just as it is when the military dresses up as civilians and shoots protesters dead. I'm not disputing that. That is why I broke my standard and posted pictures of dead bodies to show that they were actually doing that. However, I do not support the protesters any more either.

Initially they weren't protesting the lockdown they were protesting the tax hikes during the lockdown which were ill-timed. However, calling a general strike was also ill-timed. Right now, we need to support commerce. Protesters blocking roads restricting the travel of other civilians is completely unacceptable. That has created a knee jerk reaction where the military has over reacted. We are all responsible for what we do.

Yet in times of war, what we do can fan the flames or calm the conflict. The army shouldn't be shooting civilians they should be shooting the people blocking the roads. I remember back in Belfast, sometimes the army would use a sniper to take out IRA members as they were walking home in public. I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying they targeted those people for a reason just like the IRA targeted them for a reason. It was a war.

In Colombia, the government backed down on the tax hike but the protests continued. They kept wanting more. Kinda like giving into a child when they throw a tantrum. In so doing you create a monster. The new demands were unclear and lacked substance. They just wanted to keep riding the wave. The protesters who continued to protest and continued to block roads after the tax hike was removed showed a lack of respect for life. They knew more people would die.

It reminds me of a scene from Shake Hands with the Devil. General Romeo Dallaire refused to leave and abandon the innocent people being slaughtered. He sees a morbid scene where dead bodies were lying all over the road and instead of driving over the dead bodies, he lines them up in grave formation to respect the dead. The lack of respect for the dead and for the living in our day concerns me. I support law and order. I do not support the Communist paramilitaries or the Narco paramilitaries. Both roads lead to the same place: slavery which I reject.

Today is a sad day for me. Perhaps better times will one day return. Regardless, I will stand true.

Charley Boorman's Extreme Frontiers

I see Charley Boorman's Extreme Frontiers is now on Amazon Prime. Finally something worthwhile to watch. Season one is a motorcycle trip across Canada. He did what I wanted to do only better. Charley was born in London and raised in County Wicklow, Ireland. I guess that's why I couldn't identify his accent. This guy has done some pretty amazing trecks around the world.
