"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” CS Lewis.

"Elected Politicians and Stupid Games"


I originally had much more to say about the political response (and the absolutely drooling spate of editorials from the MSM) to the death of 11 year old Ephraim Brown on the weekend, but Jack at JacksNewsWatch has said all that needs to be said.:

In a day or so Toronto will bury another innocent child killed by unrestricted gunfire. Gunfire orginating from gang members who barely know one end of the weapon from the other. It is a pattern being repeated right acoss this country day in and day out. We hear the cries of people we elect beat an inanimate object to death as the “culprit” while they mourn for the gang members who must go to jail for life if they are caught.

Every excuse in the world is made for them and nobody hears the victims because they’re dead of course.

As Sandy correctly pointed out this morning our justice system is the true villain in this story aided and abetted by a moronic press pushing left wing values and the thought that we should be kind to criminals who are disadvantaged and only need to be understood
[Sandy's writings are worth a journey on their own...Ed.].

Well, here’s what I understand.

Canada is awash in criminals that have fled Jamaica — and Jamaica is awash in cocaine — which is one stop on a known drug importation route that continues to supply North America with “happy powder”. The crime on that tiny island (and many others in the Carribean) has reached epic proportions and when things get to hot for said crooks they emmigrate to Canada, the US and Britain where they continue their nefarious deeds, completely heedless of our laws and our way of life.

They use our refugee laws (and many others) to seek sanctuary and immediately upon arrival they kill to establish their credentials in the “new world”.

Many others also flee from Jamaica. People tired of crime and death. They seek the protection of a country that enforces it’s law and they believe that their choice of a new land is the right one. How disappointing to end up in a neighbourhood living right next door to the thug that forced you to leave in the first place.

“Same old — same old!”

Another one of your kids die and you watch as our elected politicians (who are responsible for your safety) play games with a federal government as they seek political advantage.

It is to weep.

As a group, expat Jamaicans (and I know a few) should be infuriated by the recent actions of Dalton “McShifty” and David Miller who believe that more basketball courts will solve all. They should go ballistic as the Star and the Globe pander to said “voices of the people” and continue the lefty line.

Truth — everytime another innocent dies (of whatever color) the black community in Toronto should be all over municipal, provincial and federal elected politicians demanding to know why they are not supporting Stephen Harper and his crime bill, which proposes to “get tough” with the fools doing the killing.

I suppose that most are confused by the “gun argument” presently raging as very stupid (and uneducated) politicians make more excuses for something that should never have happened had they done their job.

They haven’t and they should all be fired because they are very sorry excuses for Canadian values.

Had that happened in the last election the criminals would now be aware (because they would be going to jail for life — and there would be no parole after serving “one sixth” of their sentence if they used a gun) they would be in “serious s**t”.

There would be no excuse if they were a “Youthful Offender” and ”major jail time” would follow.

Fact: There is no excuse for shooting another human being simply because you want to prove a point and that is what’s happening.

Jamaican crooks have brought their violence to Canada and so, nobody is safe.

The same holds true in Winnipeg with their large North American Indian population. It’s all about gangs and drugs.

Same in Vancouver as the East Indian and Chinese gangs wage war totally oblivious to our law and knowing that, even if caught, not much will happen. In that process our law is becoming a joke and citizens everywhere are alarmed. They leave their homes in fear when one of these fools run rampant when all they really need is a gun (for home protection).

Another truth — our population is aging and because they are they can no longer fight off a home invasion using “empty hand” techniques something more is needed to protect all we love and have worked for. That “something more” is a tool — “sorta like a skill saw” — but much more valuable.

It’s called a gun (loaded at that) and when your front door is “booted” in the middle of the night you have a response ready and waiting. If you blow that stupid person out of his shoes nothing should happen to you. It may be appropriate to send a few flowers to his (or her) funeral.

Never mind — to get back to the point.

Harper is trying desperately to change the picture of unending violence in our society through changes in the law. Stephane Dion and Jack Layton would have you believe he is wrong and all can be corrected through more basketball courts.

It cannot.

And innocents will continue to die unless we address the real problem.

“Guns don’t kill — people do” and I’m sorry to say that many politicians who are trying desperately to get their hands on your wallet will tell any lie, express any “other idea” in order to regain power. They are fools and only fools would vote for them.

There is more.

Our problems regarding violent death are not totally due to “piss poor” politicians. They may be laid directly at the feet of the court officials appointed by said politicians who continue to feel sorry for these “naked apes” hiding behind a Charter and Bill of Rights which protects them every inch of the way.

As far as left leaning politicians and our courts are concerned they are right and be damned the conseqences.

Well, the “consequence” yesterday was another dead child.

Let’s watch with anger as they try to explain that one.

We should also remember that public safety transcends “politics” and all should be on the same team.

Our judges and our politicians should follow a very simple thought:

“If you’ve done the gun crime pack your toothbrush. You’re gone.”

Much like we do with impaired drivers now.
