A Monday Medley of Videos


First up, we have a video that includes footage of a couple crimes and offers some lessons. In the first clip shown,  a man in Tulsa was watering his lawn when he was approached by a couple armed robbers. The victim happened to be carrying a weapon (which is a great example for all of us to follow) and drew a handgun. Something flew from his side, so I think his holster may have pulled loose: something to test because it could have messed up the draw stroke. In any event, one of the armed robbers ran off (and was later shot while trying to rob yet another homeowner). More interesting was the second robber who just calmly turned around and unconcernedly walked back to his car, obviously well aware that a private citizen would not shoot him in the back. The victim/home owner was, as you would expect, charged for aggravated something or the other. The only thing I can think of is that he kept his firearm pointed at the second robber as the robber sauntered off. Which is why, when there are no shots fired and the criminal has left without causing damage, I would think long and hard before involving the police. They aren't going to do you any good in such a situation and, as this case illustrates, could do you wrong.

       The second clip is of a guy on a motorcycle that pulled up and tried to break up a fight between a couple black teens out in front of his house which had drawn a crowd. As you can expect, the result was that a couple of teens in the crowd sucker punched the guy, eliciting howls of joy from the other spectators. Even a lion must be wary when surrounded by hyenas.


"Being Prepared Should Lead To Action"--Active Self Protection (6 min.)

The second video today is also a self-defense video, this time from Brazil. In this one, an armed robber decided to try and rob an off-duty police officer and his wife. Unfortunately for the armed robber, the officer was carrying his firearm, and the robber rapidly assumed ambient temperature. The lesson from this one, though, was that the officer hesitated in using his handgun, and is lucky that the robber didn't shoot first.



The third video today is also a defensive video. In this one, a woman was the victim of an attempted mugging while inside a Walmart. Unfortunately for the attackers, this woman was armed. She was carrying off body in her purse, which made the initial fight a fight for the purse, but she finally got her firearm out, which prompted her two (or possibly three) attackers to flee. While Darwin would approve, the law frowned on her next actions which were to shoot one of the fleeing attackers multiple times, and then chase after a second attacker and take a few shots.


""The Call of Cthulhu" by H. P. Lovecraft"--Horror Babble (1 hr 19 min.). This is a reading of one of Lovecraft's longer stories. This particular story is a classic, and gave the name to his interrelated stories: the Cthulhu Mythos. 


"The Dangerous Tribalism of the Ruling Class"--Black Pilled (9 min.). It's not that they hate you; they just don't care. Remember that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.


"Why Demographics is EVERYTHING!"--Oppressed Media (20 min.). Texas will turn "blue" in 2020 or shortly thereafter. After that point, Republicans will never again be able to take the White House. But the Republican leadership doesn't seem to care (see the video above on "The Dangerous Tribalism of the Ruling Class").


"Will a Return to Faith Heal the West?"--Blonde In The Belly Of The Beast (13 min.)


"Mathematical Challenges to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution with Berlinski, Meyer, and Gelernter"--The Hoover Institute (57 min.). Basically, there are so many possible combinations in even a short protein chain compared to those arrangements that actually work, that it is impossible for Darwinian evolution to account for the mutations necessary to create a new species, let alone life. The Universe simply hasn't been around long enough. Thus, Darwin should join Marx and Freud in the dustbin of 19th Century thinkers that had interesting ideas, but turned out to be wrong.
