Post-Shooting Procedures
This column focuses on the immediate aftermath of the church shooting near Fort Worth and addresses a subject rarely discussed.
Author’s bio/resume is here.
I have no plans to re-hash what has already been discussed in countless articles and videos. There were lots of good things (a near-perfect head shot from an extended distance, no mistaken identity shootings, etc) that happened. There are also a few things that were less than optimal (a fouled draw, failure to keep the guy out of the service, failure to go hands on immediately, poor muzzle awareness). All those issues have already been covered in numerous articles.
What I want to focus on is something that I haven’t yet seen discussed. That’s the issue of “what do we do after the bad guy is down and no longer a threat?” We call these actions “post shooting procedures.” They tend to be some of the most important, but least practiced skills in a defensive shooting incident.

Morning troubadours. Some clouds out here this morning, but almost spring like warm temps. If it keeps this up much longer the plants will start thinking winter is over and will bloom, setting themselves up for a crushing blow in Feb and March when the hard freezes hit.
After dark last night I flipped on my outdoor lights and caught a glimpse of Mr. Buck grazing on the corn I had put out earlier. The day before, I saw 5 young does out there, and before that, Mr. Buck was trailing a doe back into the brush; so I have concluded from that that Mr. Buck is assembling his harem for the winter months. He’s a beautiful deer, so I would like to see a number of his offspring showing up this fall.
I went over yesterday and spent about an hour baby sitting my neighbor while his wife went out for chores. He had his aortic valve replaced about 3 weeks ago, and he’s pretty thin, but he’s getting stronger. They were able to go up the arteries starting in both legs to do this procedure rather than having to the crack the chest, so if this technique takes off, that aortic valve replacement surgery might not be as serious as it used to be. Anyway, he’s coming along it looks like.
I watched the Trump rally from Wisconsin last night, and once again it measured up to expectations. Reports that I’m hearing from the Dem debate are not good, but I notice that Michael Berry wants to talk about the debates this morning, so I assume from that he is trying to broaden his audience since I can’t imagine anyone else watching it.
OK, here’s hoping that you all have a great day. Keep your chin up and stay alive until at least November when we get to vote for President once again.

Texpat, I went back and checked your #27 #31, and that certainly sounds plausible to me. I think that the puppet masters in the Democratic party, know that not only do they have a weak field, the front runners are all avowed Communists that cannot be elected in the general election. Biden is the only one that even seems to be moderate and EVERYONE, on the planet, knows he can’t beat Trump. I had no idea who Michael Bennet is, but Googled him and realized that he is actually running, not that anyone remembers that. And, if he is what they want to call a moderate, Gawd help them, he is an rabid anti-Second Amendment guy.

Five little-noted doozies from last night’s Democratic debate.
Before I drifted off out of boredom, I caught the first part of Democratic debate seven, on foreign policy, health care, identity politics and other topics, and oh, what a revelation about these last six characters from the clown car still standing. These are the people who would occupy the White House and you wouldn’t want to be there if it happened.
5. The Warren-Sanders ‘woman president’ wrangle.
Before the debate, Elizabeth Warren made waves by claiming Bernie Sanders told her a woman couldn’t win the presidency. On the surface, it’s hard to believe, given that Bernie has been around the block and remembers Margaret Thatcher only too well.4. Klobuchar on Iran negotiations.
Amy Klobuchar pretty well came off as a boob by saying she was all in for Iran negotiations because Iran wasn’t following its agreements made in … negotiations.3. Joe Biden’s Mess of Answers on Foreign Policy:
Joe’s the man for the status quo ante, the Obama era that somehow brought us Donald Trump, yet somehow was a paradise of sorts. Now it’s Paradise Lost. Three idiocies from this supposed foreign policy man stood out, starting with this North Korea exchange, reminding us all why we voted for Trump.2. Warren’s sudden concern for fiscal discipline.
1. Bernie Sanders’s concern-trolling about all those administrative costs connected to medical care as it is and how he’s supposedly against them.As they say; RTWDT

MIAMI, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Research shows that U.S. military veterans are twice as likely to suffer from ALS as the general public. ALS is a progressive disease, causing muscle weakness or atrophy. What is causing this alarming connection and what is being done to help those who served our country?
They need to do a lot more focused research on this. Right now, it appears they only gathered some broad stats.

I just saw this.
The reverberations of the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal reached Boston on Tuesday night when Alex Cora — the former Houston bench coach who was implicated as a mastermind of the scheme in an M.L.B. report on the matter — lost his job as manager of the Red Sox.Cora helped the Astros win the World Series in 2017, then joined the Red Sox and immediately led them to the 2018 title. Now he is gone, with the team announcing that its ownership and Cora had “mutually agreed to part ways.”M.L.B. investigators identified Cora as a central figure in an illicit scheme to steal opposing catchers’ signs via a video feed and communicate them to the Astros’ hitters, according to a report issued Monday by Commissioner Rob Manfred.Carlos Beltran, new NY Mets manager, is twisting in the NYC sports media wind over his possible role. -

Putin Pushes Constitutional Change in Russia; Medvedev Resigns
MOSCOW—Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed sweeping constitutional changes that could set the stage for him to wield political power after his presidency ends, as his longtime ally, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, unexpectedly announced he was stepping down.
Mr. Medvedev’s resignation came after Mr. Putin earlier Wednesday laid out changes to Russia’s constitution that would limit the power of a potential successor if he steps down when his term ends in 2024. Mr. Putin also proposed boosting the role of the State Council, which he already heads.
Critics and supporters of Mr. Putin have speculated that the Russian leader could remain in control after his current term expires and guide policy in a different role, possibly as head of an empowered State Council.

RE: Astros flap
I broke my #6 rule—- Know this, man will always let you down.
I love baseball…. the game of baseball. I usually never get disappointed when someone falls because of my Rule #6. There were players on the Astros that I respected and liked and were fun to root for. Now they may have not participated directly in the cheating but they had to know and did nothing about it. Stealing signs has been and will always be part of the game. Ya put a guy on second base and he signals the batter where the catcher is setting up, that is just gonna happen but setting up cameras? I have no problem with a team or a player trying to gain an advantage. This is enough to cause me to skip baseball, but even if I don’t quit watching I will never watch the game with the same enjoyment i once experienced.

#19 – Reverberations is highly accurate!!

Sign stealing is okay in baseball if it’s done in person.
Doing the same to campaign yard signs is not.

Nope. the Indians got to Oklahoma saw that nasty red clay and said “Forget this crap” repacked and made their way to Flaweduh where they opened chains of Teepee Village Motor Lodges in the 40’s and 50’s. In fact one of the left overs is down at Wharton

Just for the record, I don’t think that I ever said that everyone cheats. I’ve said that the pro games are rigged, except for baseball, but now we find out that the Astros World Series trophy was gained as a result of rigging. I don’t necessarily think that the players in the NFL for instance, are in on the rigging – that’s all handled at a much higher level in the league. In fact, at the absolute top, although the owners generally accept the results of those riggings, all for the greater good of the game, you know.
The Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court will tell you that there are no politics in any of the federal courtrooms across the United States, yet it is obvious to anyone who bothers to pay attention that there is nothing but politics in a clear majority of these court rooms. that’s called rigging in my book. If you think the impeachment of the President is not political rigging, look again.
Rather than assuming that everyone is cheating, why not take the simple intermediate step of just checking whatever facts you may have, or even just checking your own intelligence level for feasibility before jumping in all the way on something you heard. If someone tells you that there is a nine foot tall basketball player in the Congo who wants to enhance his intellect and learning skills at the University of Houston while practicing his basketball hobby on the side, do you buy that story, or do you check in to it a little bit first. Can you buy a pair of Nike’s that will actually make you run faster or jump higher? Does Red Bull really give you wings? Stuff like that.
Anyway, that’s all for now. Weatherman says it’s gonna rain out here today. There are some clouds in the sky. The weather man is wrong 95% of the time when he says it is gonna rain out here. Should I take my umbrella with me when I go to the Olde Pharts Coffee? Trick question – nobody out here, me included, even owns an umbrella. More later.

Almost, the Alabama Indians went to Texas, the Seminoles were sent to Tennessee or Kentucky, I don’t remember which, Hamous probably knows. But in any case, a lot of the Seminoles and several other Florida Tribes, went back to Florida and hid in the Everglades, where no one would find them. When my neck O the woods, (south Alabama), was settled in the early 1820’s there were no Indians left, they had been run off. But, Indians were sometimes encountered here as they tried to make their back way to Florida.

WE KEEP A POTATOE MASHER IN THE DRAWER BECAUSE
SOMETIMES IT IS FUN NOT TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE
DRAWER AT ALL.A question for photo buffs. As I mentioned we had my mother’s 100 birthday last weekend. A photographer was there and took lots of pictures in PNG format. Due to the size of the files I saved some in JPEG, keeping the originals.
Do you have recommendations as to quality to print these in larger sizes, 11 x 14 or larger. Which would better, PNG, BITMAP, JPEC or TIFF?

If there is a large amount of reds in the picture FOR SURE YOU WANT TIFF.
JPEG is okay for web applications but for printing it stinks. Reds end up with artifacts like crazy as does blues.
-
So, what you’re saying is that photo journalists will need to use TIFFs when covering the Democrat convention…
-
texanadian
If your photographer can provide you with RAW files and you can find a place that will process raw that is your absolute best bet. You may need to go online to get that.
Find a processor that has a walkaway policy. If the photos they print suck you can walk away no charge. I do not give recommendations for foto printers because not very shop is the same. I do use my Walgreens here but would never use the other Walgreens in town. The kid that does the printing here is good at what he does. I would pick multiple shops, send them one picture and choose form the best to patronize.

The revelations about the Astros just sickened me. If a second baseman or shortstop can read the catcher and tip off the batter, well, that’s just part of the game. But cameras in centerfield with a zoom lense – good grief. When are they going to be bugging each others’ clubhouses ?
I quit watching baseball for at least 10 years after the last strike in 1994 when the Astros were basically tied with Cincinnati for first place in the NL Central Division. The only other team in the NL with a better record was Atlanta. We had a real shot at the Series. The only thing that might have blown the whole deal was Bagwell’s broken hand.

Stephen Green at Instapundit reprinted this post from Colby Smith of Dallas on Facebook. I’m taking the liberty of reprinting here since not everyone has FB access. The leftwing media, the Twitter hate mobs and Hollywood asshats are doing their best to lynch Vince Vaughn for being respectful and friendly to the President and First Lady Monday in New Orleans.
When I was in Iraq, in 2005, I was stationed in an extremely dangerous area. At the time, the most hostile combat area in the world. We lost a lot of good men and our base was mortared or shot at almost daily. Leaving the wire was worse in terms of violence.
I say all of this because no one stopped at any of the FOBs under 108th Armor’s control.
No one.
We heard that comedians, actors/actresses, cheerleaders and musicians were visiting the troops in Baghdad, or in Taji, or in Tallil, but they’d never stop in Mahmudiyah. They’d never endanger themselves by visiting the Triangle of Death.
No one, except Vince Vaughn.
Vince stopped at FOB St. Michael purely because he was told that no one stopped there. He went around our base, talking with every soldier. He signed photos and took photos while holding a sign that said, “If you can dodge an IED, you can dodge a ball.”
He even sat and played me, a lowly medic, in NCAA football in our haphazard, poorly constructed smoke shack. He played as Virginia Tech, if I remember, and I played as Texas Tech.
He was relaxed even though we were mortared when he landed and he had to lay on the helipad (everyone around him was still standing as we were accustomed to it, but we won’t fault him for that.)
Here’s the thing. We had lost multiple men in the days leading up to his visit and the constant combat was exhausting… but Vince Vaughn is an entertainer, and he used his skills to enable us, for just a few hours, to forget the horrors of the conflict we were in at great danger to himself.
So, sure, nobodies behind a keyboard will fault him for shaking the President’s hand. Nobodies will say that he needs to be canceled. Hollywood hacks who flew over our base will judge him. But I, for one, know better. I know that he’s a hero and that I will support him in his endeavors as he supported me in mine.
Please, let others know about what Vince did. He deserves credit, although, I know, he’s asked for none.

Well, I consider “rigging” being from an act of deception or hiding. NASCAR guys intentionally spin out or block to help a teammate, right in the wide open for all to see. Every week someone is penalized for doing something illegal to their car. But old Smokey Yunick was a hero back in the day for his “innovations”, so who knows.

I’d bet you could plot a graph of women that dropped off the popularity chart after they did one or two nude scenes in the movies. It is like they showed their stuff, removed the fantasy and people dropped them like a hot rock. Seems the only women immune to that is scream queens like Adrienne Barbeau noted for her roles in some really nasty slasher movies.

Almost, the Alabama Indians went to Texas, the Seminoles were sent to Tennessee or Kentucky, I don’t remember which, Hamous probably knows.
It’s a mixture. Most of the Muscogee and Cherokee ended up in Oklahoma. Those that didn’t assimilated into the Deep South or got chased into the Everglades, along with escaped slaves, and became Seminoles. Most of the Seminoles eventually ended up in Oklahoma too. The Oklahoma tribe is probably 3 times the size of the Florida tribe today.

Hillary Clinton wrote the book on how to run a bad campaign and loose an election, but Michael Bloomberg is a maverick and is rewriting the rules. With the most embarrassing social media team ever, the billionaire busybody thinks he can attract young voters by acting cool and hip. Actually, he thinks he can get elected by identifying as a meatball. No, seriously, a meatball.
We’ve already seen some awesome failure from Team Bloomberg when they tweeted out a picture of Bloomy looking angrily at a plate of brisket, thinking it was ribs. Somehow this social media campaign got worse. During last night’s democratic debate that Bloomberg couldn’t buy his way into, his people sent out the stupidest tweet storm in recorded history:
-
Watch for Steyer to jump on the stupid wagon.
Mike Bloomberg wears Tom Steyer underwear.
