Cowards and Psychopaths

People willing to commit mass murder are not going to be deterred by more laws. They are willing to murder dozens, if not hundreds, of people. This is the most heinous crime our system of justice has, yet they are perfectly willing to slaughter human beings for racial, religious, sexual or political bigotry. What law is New York going to pass that could possibly scare suicidal terrorists hell-bent on mass destruction? Don’t rack your brain, there isn’t one. People who are willing to commit mass murder will not be deterred by a misdemeanor weapons charge. They are evil criminals, they don’t care about laws; that’s the definition of evil criminals. You cannot legislate your way out of a confrontation with evil men. These aren’t people who run red lights, or go ten over the speed limit. Laws will not deter them. Murder is already illegal. In fact, it’s the oldest crime in the world, yet people still commit it. More laws aren’t going to stop that. You know what stops a murderer? A better defender. Ask any battered spouse with a restraining order that some piece of garbage walks right through on the attack; paper doesn’t beat rock. It certainly doesn’t beat bullets. To beat a rock, you need a bigger rock. Meaning, you have to be more dangerous and more capable at violence than the criminal predator. The laws they want to pass actually make society more dangerous. They want to write a piece of paper that bans good people from having rocks at all, and so only the bad guys have them. The bad guys don’t care at all about another law on another piece of paper, and they aren’t giving up their rocks. In between the previous paragraph and this one, the Uvalde, Texas shooting occurred. The terrorist shot nineteen elementary school kids. So, I’m going to stop arguing about guns. This is about a willful disbelief in evil. I don’t understand how people can not believe in evil. How else could you explain a lunatic shooting nineteen children between eight and ten years old? It’s not a matter of the mental health crisis in this country, which is obviously real, or bullies, it’s simply evil. This person was not raised with a moral compass to know that you don’t murder children. That seems like a pretty obvious and simple rule to follow. We can debate a lot about varying degrees of right and wrong, but you’re going to have a hard time finding the person who thinks murdering school children is a gray area. So, this was a broken psychopath with no remorse for innocent life. “He was bullied as a child because he had a lisp,” one report said. Well that certainly justifies murdering nineteen children ten years younger than him. Are you kidding me? He was bullied? Everybody is bullied in school at some point; you don’t get to go murder innocent children because of it! I was bullied as a kid, you know what I did with that anger? I joined the Army, got trained how to kill people with everything from a TOW missile to my bare hands to PROTECT innocent people and kill BAD PEOPLE! That’s the constructive way to use that rage and violence, to KILL TERRORISTS, not become one! There is something broken in our society that doesn’t believe in evil anymore. I’m not saying that in a religious context at all, by the way. But something has been lost in how we socialize children to be moral citizens with consciences that preclude the murder of other school children. Part of this is cowardice. We are a society of cowards. This encourages terrorists to conduct attacks. They don’t fear opposition, and they bank on their actions terrifying further the cowards unwilling to oppose them. This is not a debate about guns, it is an indictment of the cowardice now prevalent in our society. That cowardice is what allows these terrorists to succeed. Besides cowardice, the other part is the end of moral education for young Americans. We refuse as a society to parent children. To develop them into moral citizens. Parents want to be liked by their kids instead of respected by their kids. I’m not a parent, I’m sure it’s hard, but where the hell were this terrorist’s parents? Why didn’t they teach him it is evil to kill helpless children? Where did they go wrong? He shot his grandmother first before going to the school. What were they teaching him? What were they failing to teach him about right and wrong? This is the crux of our problem. We’re educating psychopathic terrorists because we aren’t socializing them to be moral citizens. This kid was like a Wild Child who raised himself in the woods with no moral foundations. Maybe we need to start charging the parents of these nutjobs with crimes? Maybe that would motivate them to instill some semblance of basic humanity into their little bundles of psychopathy. The two combined, our cowardice as a society and our immoral training of angry young men, is getting children killed. You can debate gun control forever, we have been, and I don’t give a damn what side you’re on, it doesn’t address these two problems. We are producing evil men without consciences who have no qualms about murdering scores of eight-year-olds. And the vast majority of our society is too chicken-shit to confront such evil bastards when they attack. We cannot continue as a society under these conditions. This is how societies and empires always fall, with moral decay inside to the point they are so rotten that they cannot defend themselves when the barbarians arrive at the gates. If you love your children, you better start turning this around. Raise them to be brave. Raise them to channel anger or rage towards evil. Be Galahads not Gandhis. Pacificism is the Virtue of the Victim. Courage is not hard when you accept that there are things more important than life, like the lives of eight-year-olds or thousands of innocent civilians in some building United 93 was screaming towards. Stop being cowards; be like Todd Beamer and stand up to evil when it attacks. “Let’s Roll.” Soule www.easy6training.com

Virtues

Patriotism may be the "virtue of the vicious" as Oscar Wilde said, but Pacifism is the Virtue of the Victim. There have been two and half successful instances of pacifism changing the world for the better, and only one side was being non-violent at the time. Gandhi's revolution in India was a success, but thousands upon thousands of Indians were beaten, bludgeoned and shot in the process. The Civil Rights Movement in America was largely successful due to Dr. King's stance of non-violent protest...then he was shot. The half is the Christian "revolution" that took three hundred years of being fed to lions before a Roman Emperor finally converted. I wouldn't call that one entirely successful, especially since the symbol of the revolt got crucified. I respect the morality of Jesus, Gandhi and MLK, but the vast majority of times when evil has been defeated in the world, it has come by force. In interpersonal violence, pacifism is suicide. Anti-social predators are not impressed with the morality of turning the other cheek, they simply prey upon the weak and take whatever they want. That can be your belongings, your money, your body, your limbs or your life. The only thing that stops them is more effective violence. In a world without the professionals to whom we outsource our violence, like cops and soldiers, the citizen is left to a world full of predators without a protector class. German Jews in the 1930s and 1940s, for the most part, believed God would never allow the evil that they were witnessing right in front of them (but denying) to happen to them. That is why when the State of Israel was founded--by force--that it adopted the motto "Never Again." European Jews, who founded Israel, had learned the horrible lesson of pacifism in the face of unspeakable, uncaring and methodical evil. The Israelis are not pacifists. Pound for pound, the Israeli Defense Force is the finest fighting force on Earth. Despite all of the wars and attacks on them, trying to finish what Hitler started, they fight on each day and continue to survive. Yet, they are defending a religion of peace, in the holy land, with ground sacred to three of the five major religions on Earth by killing and dying for it. They may be vicious. They are not victims. And they Never Again will be. The difference between the Israeli people and the American people is this: Israelis believe in evil. Many European Jews did not believe in evil. They denied to themselves what was going to eventually happen. And millions of them died. The survivors, who founded Israel, never again made that mistake. By contrast, when America was attacked on September 11, 2001 by unspeakable, uncaring and methodical evil, a shockingly large segment of our population denied it happened the way it did in order to continue to live in the delusion that evil is not real. Another large segment of Americans blamed America for being willing to defend Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, angering the evil lunatics who founded al Qaeda, because it's easier to blame yourself--like a rape victim--than confront the fact that there are evil people in the world. They will kill you, rape you, rape your children, burn families alive in hellfire atop crumbling skyscrapers, all because they HATE YOU, whether you did anything to them or not. I wonder if American Individualism, which I love, causes us not to be able to understand these days why people would hate us as infidels even though we had never met those people before? Or if it's something more pathological that we just cannot live outside of our illusory bubble of protection? So that when it is shattered, we retreat into a state of denial? I think that's probably more likely, but either way, it's delusional. Because there is evil in the world. There are evil men who do evil things to innocent people everyday. The average American has been protected from that evil by professionals for the last 80 years, so they don't believe it is real. But the people in our society who live in poverty, they understand violence, and are not delusional about it. The inner cities of this country are failed states, where armed militias control the streets instead of the governments. They aren't pacifists. It's rich and middle class white folks in this country who are utterly brainwashed into believing that violence can never find them or hurt them, and that evil doesn't exist. They are the pacifists. And therefore, they are the victims of their own virtue. There are hyenas in the world. Be the lion. It takes a lot of hyenas to take down a lion. In other words: Be Armed. Be Ready.

"B****, I OPERATE!"

This video: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CPS6i3En9WH/ (link below) is a video that Dakota Meyer posted several years ago. And EVERYBODY lost their crap about it. If you look at the comments on IG calling him....a Medal of Honor Recipient....just horrible, and patently disgusting things, you realize he is exactly correct. I own body armor. I own (too small) camouflage. I own a chest rig. I own a couple of AR's. I owned them when I was in the military, and I trained with them a lot to get better at my job. I don't anymore. I shoot the rifles maybe once or twice a year. I try on the body armor maybe once a year to make sure it still fits my middle aged beer gut (It doesn't really). When I go to the range for fun, I wear a white shirt and non-camoflauge cargo pants because they reflect the sun. When I teach a class, I wear a bright red shirt so other people can always see me (and I don't get accidentally shot by a nervous student). I used to wear a drop leg holster; I don't anymore. Why? Why don't I wear the drop leg holster or a chest rig or a plate carrier? Because I don't walk around town with that crap....anymore. I did walk around Baghdad with that crap, in a camo uniform, with a kevlar helmet that had a mount for night vision goggles on it, and a Yarborough knife that I didn't earn but was given to me (and my brother) by a Green Beret...and you know what? It SUCKED! The hottest I ever saw in Iraq was 146 degrees; in "full battle rattle" that BLOWS!!!! But I don't do that for a living ANYMORE. My "EDC" these days is a subcompact 9mm, a pocket knife and a keychain with pepper spray on it (maybe some other stuff). So, unless you are a SWAT cop, training with all that extra crap is a waste of your limited training time and--more importantly--budget! That money you spent on a plate carrier and a "war belt" and everything that 5.11 sells, could have been better spent on ammunition for the concealed carry pistol you ACTUALLY CARRY EVERYDAY! Dakota is correct. Taking all that crap to the range is Live Action Role Playing gaming. Time. Excluding teaching, I spend about four hours a month on a shooting range just practicing. I can spend that four hours practicing drawing my pistol from concealment and putting shots into a man-shaped target from a realistic distance, adding in some movement and maybe some reloading drills, because that is what I am ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE ON ME if I ever have to shoot at somebody again....OR, I can waste my time playing a dress-up game and shooting zombie targets with an AR in "full battle rattle" doing transition drills and PRETENDING I am getting good at "Operating." That's bull crap. If you don't believe me, PLEASE watch the Active Self Protection channel on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsE_m2z1NrvF2ImeNWh84mw In thousands upon thousands of shootings caught on security cameras and cell phone footage, NONE of the civilian self-defenders were dressed like Navy SEALs! They used concealed carry pistols that they had practiced with as much as they could/would to get to a level of competence that made them effective SELF DEFENDERS! We are DEFENDERS, we are not OPERATORS doing raids on enemy safe houses! Stop spending time and money on FANTASY bull crap, and instead buy target ammo and invest the training time shooting the tool you are ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE! The last thing I will say is this: 99% of all self-defense shootings are not done by SEALs, Green Berets or Recon Marines. Those guys don't tend to get mugged or raped all that often. Self-defense shootings are done by ordinary civilians with ordinary guns (WEARING ORDINARY CLOTHES) who don't have plate carriers and gas masks and machetes strapped to their belts! Self-defense shooting is a martial art, like Karate or Kung Fu, it is NOT tactical warfare! Tactical warfare almost always involves military units conducting highly rehearsed missions based on intelligence, unit training and a hundred other things that happen BEFORE the first shot is ever fired. That's not self-defense. And if you get those two confused, you are going to prison, because as self DEFENDERS, we have to be legally justified in protecting ourselves and loved ones, which means you can't be a vigilante going out HUNTING "bad guys."
