From the Desk of John Rourke – June 15th, 2017

Shooter targets GOP Congressman at a charity baseball game practice. I stuck my neck out and predicted on social media it would be some nutcase with a political agenda. Sure enough that fact held true. I spent a good amount of time reading peoples opinions on this assclown and even checked out his Facebook page.  This guy was a full-blown anti-Trump, anti-Republican, Bernie robot. Whether he was leaning left of right doesn’t change the fact he was a couple cans short of a six-pack.

What does matter is the amount of celebrating I saw about this guy. Yes – there were people calling this guy a hero and celebrating his actions.

Above is just one example. He actually called him an American Patriot. I posted about this Mike Uribe and he actually took a screenshot of my account and reposted it. Apparently he is very proud.

I consider this action – this assault on that baseball field – another step in the direction towards total civil war. Most people reading that would say I’m just another nutcase. So be it. History will tell the truth….eventually.

    I agree with you, another step towards total civil anarchy. Unfortunately, I think our side is just gonna lean over and take it until there are none of us left. I watched the network news all day, almost no coverage of this.

      Oh I don’t think we’ll just take it however our principles and belief in the rule of law will cause us to take a lot before taking action.

    So the sketchy or marginal ones will continue to pop up and act violently, believing in their hearts that they are doing right. We’ll see where this goes but here’s hoping it’s confined to the nutjobs.

    JR, sorry to have missed the great conversations over the last few days–in Wyoming doing long days. Thanks for the good topics.

    Clark, so very sorry for you’re loss–no need to reply. We’ll keep you and your family bathed in prayer.

    These were the first shots fired in the Second Civil War. Unless there is a massive change, and I don’t see it happening, I predict the deranged Left, called it what it is…the Democratic Party, will escalate this first attack. Then it will be “tit for tat”. Democrats kill a Conservative Republican and then there is a response with Democrats being killed. It will spiral out of control in the streets. With the hate being spewed out from the deranged Democrats via their propaganda wing, the Main Stream Media, it is inevitable. This is Obama’s legacy.
    I’ll stay the event, but I’m advising my son, my daughter doesn’t believe any of this, all I get are eye rolls from her, to enroll with me in a Tactical Rifle and Pistol class. I searched via the internet and found The South Carolina Gun School in Easley, SC about 20 miles from my home. As much as I dislike it, you have to get ready. I think bad times are on the way.

      Oren – let me know which class you are looking at. Maybe I’ll come take it with you.

      I graduated from Easley High School.

      I thought the same thing when I heard the details of the shooting. Could this have been the modern “shot heard around the world”?

    By the way. Natchez Shooter’s Supply is having a sale. I picked up some Remington Golden Saber Handgun Ammo .40 S&W 165 gr BJHP 25/box $14.49. Normally $29.49.

    This guy was a whack job.. and his actions don’t bother me as much as the celebration by the left. Could be that the fringe of either side will be the fatwood to start the fire though. Agreed Obama Legacy.
    Get busy boys and girls.

    It didn’t take long to go from swinging bicycle locks at Berkeley​ to AK 47s near our nation’s capital. I watched a montage of Democrat elected officials, figureheads and activists fear mongering that republicans we’re going to kill people, take their rights away, round up groups and put them in camps, take their children’s healthcare and educational opportunities away and allow the Russians to run our country… Some while simultaneously insisting that blood would have to flow to stop it. There would have to be casualties….

    True that there are nut jobs on both sides, but the hard left has taken control of the Democrat party, and we have plenty of evidence as to just how far they are willing to go to silence the opposition. Despite their handwringing of today, they have accepted violence as a justified means to an end. It’s going to grow worse, and it’s very likely to work in their favor.

    Picked up 1000 rounds of 5.56 from Natchez Shooter’s Supply for $299.99 plus free shipping today. I haven’t seen this ammo this low since around 2010. I am truly disgusted at the local TV news stations in St. Louis. They carried the story but never mentioned the congressional players were republicans or the shooter was a whacked out Bernie Sanders volunteer and Trump hater from Belleville (just across the river from St. Louis). The bias in the media is so corrupt.

    You were right in that concern Rourke. Spot on, on that call brother and it increases my concern of course. Our group has already got back on the band wagon. I believe if it comes to a civil war..I would Highly recommend people be on target for fighting tactics, etc. You don’t even have to be the one using them. You could be watching something take place and this knowledge will give you a good pulse on the battle, where to flee/go/move out of the way. Or of course if you are in one…save your life.

    I would like to point out, as I predicted these psychos suck and have no clue what they are doing when it comes to shooting, fighting, core values. Even if they got some “training” from other idiots. The level of truly combat effect people is nothing compared to the conservatives that are. Also, as predicted I said they would hit some people and if this hits the fan some Patriots would be shot and/or die, but It will be the end of them. It doesn’t mean I would just stand up in total oblivious arrogance getting shot. It does mean I’m totally convinced our forces would be superior and win. I’m still hoping and holding out for the best, but if “It” comes,…this will be the cleansing of evil liberal/Marxist/socialist pigs from American.

    I have never in my life seen such disrespect for our President or what our country stands for. I didn’t like Obama or Clinton, but I never would have considered rioting or hanging them in effigy or whining to the media about how it’s just not fair that they won. The Left has gone so far out into left field that I question their sanity. This is turning into a snowball rolling down hill, and it scares me more than anything else that’s happened in recent years. They’re developing a cult following, and none of those people are taking the time to sit down and THINK.

      It is very disheartening SingleMom. What is good to see is the amount of support and patriotism that people are showing. While the snowflakes are anti-America there are lots of people with the right perspective out there as well.

    We all have to proceed through these surreal times as best as we know how. I just got notification from FOSTECH that my two Echo trigger groups shipped today. How sweet is that? Best to all.

    Every pinnprick lie they tell, every freedom of speech and white hater card they play makes me more and more angry, this attack to me has me on edge more than I ever have been as a prepper, I mean how much do we let them take? This is a snowball, it’s growing everyday! If this doesn’t stop it will end up being the most horrific event in our country’s entire history, I often want to express myself in violence against them! But if this truly starts, I don’t think it will stop until “the end”. We all know they talk and cry, but they are so week, they are encititing so hard, I’m in fear for what we will do to these people, but I’m now convinced, this is going to happen, god help us all if it does, because if they drive us to do this, then no one will truly win.

      Clark.. Man I hear you. I personally don’t think the time is right yet. Like surfing… pick a weak wave and it peters out before you get to the beach and don’t get done what you needed gets accomplished. At this point for me it’s being on alert, and conscious of my surroundings. And to be honest I’ve been avoiding Lemming type gatherings as well…. And I adjust my mobile load out a little for “just in case”. Probably don’t need to but it makes me feel better :). Martial your energy and resources for the same “just in case”. I expect it to blow in an Urban depressed area where the outlying area has a conservative majority vs the Urban Liberal Majority. Washington State for example. Guess we’ll see.

        I agree 100% the time hasn’t came yet, but like you, I feel it is getting closer, recently upgraded my carrior to a soft armed lever 3A with civilian sapi level 3 plates so I can adjust load out as needed for situation, carrior also equipped with quick disconnect, and of course all new pouches lol, constantly learning and changing the load out, just like my bob. I have had a frag vest used by the guys that decommissioned the IED’s in the war, but it weighs a ton, very restrictive, expecaily when cycling my gun, so I researched YouTube/articles for weeks and came up with this set up, carrior is 8 pounds, front and back plates are 4 pounds each, for now I’ve decided not to go with side plates, being able to move fast is more important, I may get them later, if your defending a location and not have to hump very far I do see value in them, my kevlar helmet is really giving me some neck problems, I may have to upgrade to a scout set up, not sure how far I could hump with that thing, there’s a lot of articles about marines having permanent neck problems from those things. Sorry I rambling on here, but I can totally relate and am doing the same thing, it is the right thing to get ready, this thing could blow up at anytime, we need to be ready.

    I think this is only the start. Maybe not such a bad shot, we were taught to shot into the hip area and legs, less mobility and tremendous damage in the hip area as we are seeing plus if you hit the artery bleed is fast.
