Guest Post: Things I Learned Trolling Liberal Facebook Pages

A friend in one of the conservative groups to which I belong posted what he has learned by going to liberal pages on Facebook. It's short, sweet, and so true to life that I knew I had to post it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. ~ Hunter

I consider myself a student of life. I believe everyday is an opportunity to expand your mind and learn new things. So, with that in mind, I'd like to present a new installment that I call "Things I learned trolling lib sites."

1.) There is absolutely NO connection between crime and the destruction of the family unit, despite the percentage of violent crime and the percentage of unwed parents increasing nearly neck and neck over the past 60+ years.

2.) ALL cops are evil racists.

3.) Officer Wilsons charges were dismissed because the jury did not have access to the actual autopsy reports which are available only to liberal Facebook users.

4.) Christianity is an evil cult that teaches nothing but hate and subjugation of women. Meanwhile, people of the islamic faith shouldn't be judged based on a few mentally unstable individuals.

I hope this helps educate some of you silly conservatives as much as it helped me.

Answering The Pantheon Of Armchair Police Officers (And Other Useful Idiots)

It's getting extremely tiring hearing questions about whether Michael Brown could have been shot in the legs or some other non-lethal body part in order to incapacitate rather than kill him.


1.) Brown had already been shot in his hand when he reached into Wilson's patrol vehicle.


2.) Brown assaulted Officer Wilson, punching him twice in the face hard enough to fracture his eye socket and tried to wrest Wilson's gun from him (causing Wilson to fire 2 shots in the vehicle).


3.) This isn't the movies.


4.) Anyone with even a shred of intellectual honesty will tell you that anyone who may have to use a firearm for their job, like the police and our military, is trained to shoot center mass. Why? Because that's where most of the vital organs are located and it's the biggest target. In the movie "The Patriot," Mel Gibson's character, Benjamin Martin, asks his two boys, who helping him attack the British unit transporting his eldest son as a prisoner, what he taught them about shooting. They replied, "Aim small, miss small." Yes, I know it's a movie, but "Aim small, miss small" is a truism in shooting.


5.) Officer Wilson, having already been attacked by a 300 lb. man (not a child), nearly knocked unconscious, does his job - pursuing a subject suspected of a strong-arm robbery. This suspect flees, then turns around and charges at Wilson, causing the officer to shoot Brown five more times, the fatal round entering Brown's head as he fell to the ground less then eight feet from Wilson, leaving a twenty-five yard long blood trail in the process.


6.) Firefights and officer involved shootings happen quickly, and are typically high-stress situations. I know from the 2 firefights I was in years ago that my heart was racing, my hands shaking, and my aim unsteady. I can only thank the good Lord above that I didn't hit someone other than the ones shooting at me. To shoot at anything other than center mass is to court death.


7.) There's nothing harder in shooting than hitting a moving target, especially when adrenaline is flowing, or you've been assaulted by a man whose intention it can only be assumed was to kill you. Ask any soldier who's been in a firefight in Iraq or Afghanistan - they'll tell you the same thing.


8.) We must also keep in mind that Wilson's entire encounter with Brown lasted about a grand total of ninety seconds. Things moved fast. Thankfully, Officer Wilson's training and instincts kicked in to keep him alive.


The point of this diatribe is to show that while the police willingly put their lives on the line every day, they also aren't like the cops we see on TV and in the movies. They get nervous, scared - just like the rest of us - but they're trained to deal with those emotions better than we are.


Again, based upon the evidence, I believe Officer Wilson acted appropriately and within the law. Once again, it would behoove us to remember that the police are not obligated to use less than lethal means to subdue someone once deadly intent has been displayed.


This isn't now, nor has it ever been, about race. This is, and always has been, about a police officer doing his job - and that's all it ever should have been about. Period. ~ Hunter

The Ferguson Decision

I've held off on writing about this because I wanted to wait until the grand jury reached its decision. It's been tough keeping silent, especially after the true facts started trickling out (as they always do in similar situations). Now it's time to let it all hang out.

It's getting extremely irritating hearing over and over and over how Mike Brown was "unarmed." He forfeited the ability to make that claim - as did his supporters - when he attacked Officer Wilson.

Added to that is the fact that police officers are not obligated to use non-lethal means despite having them at their disposal.

Now let's take that a step further - it's now been determined that Brown was attempting to relieve Wilson of his weapon. How well do you think those non-lethal means would compete had Brown managed to take said weapon?

The grand jury, which included three black people, unanimously refused to indict Officer Wilson based upon the evidence - evidence that clearly showed no wrongdoing on the part of the police officer. Three separate autopsies - including the one from Dr. Michael Baden, who was privately hired by Brown's family - showed that the altercation began inside the vehicle. All - and I stress ALL - the findings support Wilson's version of events.

Mike Brown's family has asked for non-violent protests, despite their grief over the loss of their son and their misplaced anger. The "protesters" have not honored that request - leading to at least twenty-nine arrests, about a dozen businesses burned to the ground, and dozens more looted. How is that helping anyone?

Now Al "Not-so" Sharpton, one of the heads of Race Bait, Inc. is heading to the area. Yeah... That should turn out well...

We owe the grand jury a debt of gratitude for following the law and not letting the "what ifs" to sway their decision to not indict Wilson. Their courage to do the right thing despite knowing what would ensue as a result of their decision, and should serve as an example to us all on doing what's right instead of what's expedient. (You listening, King DingleBarry?)

Darren Wilson acted appropriately, well within the law, and as good as it is to have Wilson vindicated, we must still remember that someone died during this incident, and many lives on both sides have been irrevocably altered. We need to put the race issue aside - especially since it literally had nothing to do with it - and realize that it's the facts that matter. It's the justice system, and its processes, that matters, and for that, we should all be thankful. ~  Hunter
