Stacey Abrams Announces Georgia Gubernatorial Bid

LeSnitch Bitch has "entered the NBA's covid 19 protocols.

LeBron James has been placed in the NBA's health and safety protocols, and was ruled out for the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night.
Such a move almost certainly means one of two things: that James, who said earlier this season that he is vaccinated, either tested positive for COVID-19 or had an inconclusive result.
A person with knowledge of the situation said the Lakers are preparing for James to miss multiple games. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because neither the team nor James had revealed that detail publicly. ESPN previously reported that James is "expected" to miss several games.

LeSnitch Bitch claimed he was fully vaccinated in September. Whether xhe was telling the truth, who knows.

Deb Heine has a good write-up of the bodycam footage from the arrest of the MSNBC reporter who got caught trying to dox the Rittenhouse jurors.

What comes through, she says, was the "producer" and his boss back in New York City half-admitting their doxing missing but also trying to weasel out of admitting it at the same time.

Kenosha police on Tuesday released the body camera video of the November 17 stop. James Morrison, the driver of the vehicle, identified himself as an NBC producer.
“Were you following a vehicle?” Officer Jones asked.
“I was trying to see—I was being called by New York—going maybe these are the people you need to follow, but I don’t know,” Morrison sputtered incoherently. “I was trying to—”
“Trying to what?” Officer Jones asked impatiently.
“I was just trying to do what they told me to do,” Morrison explained weakly.
“New York told you to follow a vehicle?” the officer demanded.
“Yes,” the producer replied.
“How did they know about this vehicle?” the officer inquired.
“I mean it was discreet,” Morrison stammered. “I wasn’t like—you know—trying to talk to anybody. Just trying to find a location—that’s all.”

Trying to find... a location? Like jurors' homes?

The producer in New York, Irene Byon, confirmed they were in fact looking for the jurors' homes.

She again stressed that NBC wasn’t trying to talk to these people—they were only trying to find out where they lived.
“By no means were we trying to get in contact with any of the jury members, or whoever was in the car,” she insisted. “We were just trying to see like where, um, where key players in the trial may be at.”

In the Juicy Smollyiet race hoax case, prosecutors introduced video of Juicy directing a dress rehearsal of the race hoax the day before debuting it publicly.

Embattled “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett was caught on surveillance video doing a “dry run” one day before his alleged hate crime attack, prosecutors said at his trial in Chicago Tuesday.
Prosecutors contend the footage confirms the actor faked the Jan. 29, 2019, alleged attack with Nigerian brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, who are expected to be key witnesses for the prosecution in the case.
Smollett’s lawyers claim the actor was really attacked — by the two brothers.

Alec Baldwin is now claiming that someone set him up.

He's claiming that someone snuck a real bullet into the gun.

He's also claiming he didn't pull the trigger -- the gun fired itself.

Which seems to be a suggestion that the gun was rigged to fire if merely touched.

I’ve done thousands of interviews over the last twenty years. This was the most intense.

So his defense, for any criminal action (which would be unlikely) or for just civil lawsuits, will be... to accuse the armorer of deliberate murder.

Of putting a real bullet in the gun and rigging it with a hair-trigger to set him up for a shooting. Making a kind of "trap gun" which then killed someone.

Which would support a murder charge.

That's absurd. But he doesn't want to have to pay money for his own recklessness, so he's going to accuse someone of murder.

If you've ever wondered, "Gee, could Alec Baldwin really be as much of an absolute lowlife scumbag coward and moral monster as he seems?," there's your answer.

My personal opinion: it’s time that democratic countries seriously reconsider their permanence in the European Union. This statement of the President of the EU Commission is the announcement of a totalitarian attitude becoming normality. https://t.co/QPZqGMdDZW

17 Hasn't it been revealed that the scene Baldwin was "filming" didn't have a gun in it? That he deliberately picked it up and pointed it and pulled the trigger even though the scene didn't call for any of that?

20 Well, if the NYT can claim stupidly that a car killed people in Waukesha, I suppose Baldwin can claim a gun killed people and he had nothing to do with it. So Baldwin is an actor who can cry on cue.

26 Ace,
Assuming that the reports are correct and the revolver is a single action is true. Then, Colt Single Action Army's don't work that way--the hammer would have to be cocked before the trigger is pulled. There is no such thing as a Hair Hammer versus a Hair trigger. A Hammer spring that is too light when cocked won't have the necessary force to set off the primer in the cartridge. You would have to hit the hammer manually with a rock or something in that case. Two separate actions are needed to set off a single action revolver.

A double action where someone has been monkeying around with the single action notch could conceivably go off with a hair trigger job.

80 When I worked at UPS I was put on hazardous box duty and we were required to shave so we could wear the hazmat suits. The funny thing about shipping stuff, at least at the time, is that you can ship stuff to labs to check to see if it is a horribly deadly biological pathogen no problem. If the lab then says, yep, that's bad stuff, you then cannot ship that. We only got that stuff rarely, farmers shipping cow heads to test for anthrax. Most of the time we were called out for "acids" being detected which were always just meat marinades.

90 Hey Alec. That is why you never point a gun, even an unloaded or prop gun, directly at someone unless you intend to kill them. You always always always think evil gremlins might have snuck a live load into the pistol and that it could go off even w/o you pulling the trigger.

If the scene had called for the pistol to be fired, with presumed blanks your camera women and the director would have had plexiglass screen plus ballistic blankets between you and themselves.

Good men and women died in A-stan and are rotting in prison for Jan 6th trespassing and evil shits like Baldwin and Fauci are getting shielded by the FNM and yukking it up. I hope they have nightmares of meeting actual justice.

One report I read said that he was practicing quick drawing his gun. It's all one single motion, draw and as you are coming up, you pull the hammer back, which rotates the cylinder, my finger does not go onto the trigger until my gun is almost horizontal (so I don't blow my damn foot off)... but after thousands of times practicing, even while dry firing... its one continuous action... and once started, really hard to stop the complete action.

BUT, he should have known if the gun was loaded, and even IF he knew it was not loaded, sure as hell should not have been practicing with people in his firing line.

Posted by: Romeo13 at December 01, 2021 06:21 PM (oHd/0)

95 >>>So his defense, for any criminal action (which would be unlikely) or for just civil lawsuits, will be... to accuse the armorer of deliberate murder.

Which will prompt the DA to examine the weapon with a weapons expert to discuss its operation. Particularly the trigger pull. 45 Long Colts do have a weakness if you strike the back of the hammer real hard they can go off. But this is not going to save him when a weapons specialist basically testifies either he had to pull the trigger pretty hard (double action) or at least partially cock the weapon himself (single/double action) in order for it to go off.

Posted by: mikethemoose at December 01, 2021 06:22 PM (T/vhV)

96 Someone earlier pointed out in a few threads that it is likely Baldwin is, on the direction of his lawyer, trying to protect himself from a more serious charge. If you pointed a gun and it malfunctioned, the penalties are less than if you pointed a gun and pulled the trigger.

105 KOATV Albuquerque is the place reporting that that an 1873 Pietta Colt Revolver (a firing replica of the 1873 Single Action Colt) was used in the Rust shooting via the Sheriff's press conference.

Reporting that the rehearsal of the scene did not require discharge of the firearm came from multiple places which probably originated in the lawsuit filed by one of Baldwin's employees. Perez Hilton covered that allegation in the lawsuit.

Yeah that's like an automated program from the motor cortex. Can't really derail it easily once it's started. But still that suggests *intent* to quick draw his weapon. Which is sufficient to establish *intent* to carry out all of those individual actions within the quick draw.

Yes, but my thoughts are that it will be a slow burn.

Overturning Roe will place abortion controls back in the hands of the states. Republican states will curb or ban it, and commie states will enthusiastically encourage abortion up until 10 minutes post-partum.

The leftoid women that just CAN'T EVEN in the conservative states will pack their shit, drag their cvck husbands and well-endowed boyfriends to one of the commie states where they "respect the reproductive freedom" of women or what the fuck ever.

It will accelerate the sorting of us into two countries before the national divorce.

Posted by: Ben Had at December 01, 2021 06:41 PM (fF7O0)

208 NY Post story is one of the sources where Baldwin is practicing quick draw in REHEARSAL. Not filming.

And no, quick drawing does not include pulling the trigger as the trigger finger should always be in register along the side and above the trigger guard. The only permissible variant is whether your finger in register is straight or slightly crooked.

One SHOULD NEVER train to fire on the draw as it may not be warranted. In drawing revolvers, one's thumb should be on the hammer in order to prevent cocking it during the initial parts of the draw if single action or to hold it in place during the initial draw if double action. The reason is to prevent accidental discharge on the draw if the hammer catches on clothing, the holster, etc.

In single action, the hammer should be cocked when bringing the firearm up to the shooting position. Should not be cocked at all during double action with the thumb moving to your master grip either overlapping or thumbs forward. A few still cross thumbs at the rear.

306 You can fan a revolver without modifying it, but they did often modify pistols to make fanning easier (change the angle and shape of the hammer for example). There was a lot of science and thought that went into pistol fighting, such as the type of holster, the trigger weight, etc. Some gunmen even cut the trigger off and rigged it so they could simply fan the hammer.

Hint: fanning the hammer is really bad for your gun and generally will jerk the gun all over the place for really bad aim.

332 Link in sock [includes string-bikini photo.]

Despite all the positive press from celebrities, politicians, activists, and social influencers -- three people have scaled the perimeter fence of the Howard Springs [Oz] quarantine facility and disappeared before being caught moments ago.

A large team of police are currently searching for the trio, with masked officers stopping and searching vehicles at roadblocks.

They escaped from the Centre of National Resilience at around 4:40am on Wednesday, although it is unclear at this point whether they are international arrivals or members of the Aboriginal community brought in by the army last week from remote areas of the Northern Territory.

This is the second incident inside a week, after a 27-year-old man also escaped and fled in a waiting vehicle. That man was later captured, returned, and tested negative for Covid. A 33-year-old woman also managed to abscond in January and was fined $5,000.

yeah, I haven't seen if they were filming when it happened, or he was being a jackass and he pulled the trigger (presumably) not knowing it was loaded.

If he didn't pull the trigger, that would have been the first thing he declared ... instead he complained that someone gave him a hot gun. ... I'd guess the trigger lie was scripted by him or his lawyers after the fact, thinking that makes it seem less irresponsible of him.

356 It is possible to draw and cock a SAA with one hand with the finger outside of the trigger, depending on your hand size and wrist strength.

What is not possible is to do it without intending to do so. I will admit he may have cocked it before holstering it, and so was an idiot, BUT:

He had an on set temper tantrum with a loaded gun, pointed it at the director and pulled the trigger. Might have been just a snit from frustration of having to repeat a scene, but he did it.

I saw a video a week or two back on somebody who's been on top of this - and they claimed that Alec brought in another armorer at the 11th hour. They were the one that had the gun that wasn't part of the regular props, and they were the one that loaded it. All of this done without the (admittedly) rookie armorer who was the official one overseeing everything.

Bottom line was, Alec was the producer and he was the one with the gun. Both of those people are responsible for what's on the set and who pulled/pressed/pushed/pedaled the fucking bang switch. Any schlub who's taken baby's first NRA class knows he did everything you're not supposed to do.

All questions about the weapon at the time of the shooting can be answered.
If:
1. The weapon is available to be forensically examined between now and any criminal or civil trial(s), AND is available to be put into evidence at any trial(s).
2. The weapon when forensically examined before trial(s) AND when introduced into evidence is exactly in the configuration it was when the shot in question was fired.

I think you can get the picture of possible defense plays that could be attempted by high-paid Hollywood lawyers. I mean, no evidence held in law enforcement custody has EVER gone missing. Nor has any evidence held in law enforcement custody EVER been altered or damaged, intentionally or accidentally, after the time of the incident at issue. /sigh/

Well, it's too early to tell exactly what happened here, we'll just have to wait for the facts in the case to come in before we can make a judgement call.

429 > Plus the average lifespan was in the 40s. Proportional to average lifespan 14 in the mid 1800s is equivalent to 27 or 28 today.

What happens if you exclude all the infant deaths? Is that average a lot higher?

430 403 Fanning the hammer damages the hand among other things such as the bolt and bolt notches. You are dealing with case hardened metal with a brittle tough exterior and soft interior so doing it is not recommended. Won't work on a double action as it has a trigger reset spring so trying it will damage the revolver.

432 It ain't an older gun. It's a modern replica.

That's not really the issue that's being discussed though, we're talking about the historical practice not Alec Baldwin's gunplay.

Puberty also used to hit girls later, so they were pre-pubescent longer then.

Yes but you are thinking physically rather than intellectually, culturally, morally, etc. People grew up faster back then. There was no "teenage" years, you were a child, then you were an adult. Mazel Tov.

Plus the average lifespan was in the 40s.

True, but misleading. People lived about the same amount of time but most died before they could walk, which pulled the average down heavily. You had 11 kids so 4 could live.

Yes, it was single action (Colt .45) that was confirmed some time back. Also confirmed was they at some period had live ammo on the set. Supposedly he was practicing quick-draw, so some Morons claim that'd be part of the practice (I don't know), but there's also been claims none of this was part of the camera test - which makes sense. If you're just getting camera angle/position and lighting right, then why go through the motions.

I know. Ac-Ting!

448 The hand of the revolver works with the cylinder in turning it for the next shot--a damaged hand means that the revolver will be 'out of time' so the gun will either not fire reliably as the primers are no longer hit by the firing pin or worse, it will shave bullets or cause a kaboom if barely out of time enough where the bullet hits the forcing cone of the barrel rather than going through it.

The bolt is down at the bottom of the action and rises and falls to lock the cylinder into place. If damaged, it also leads to the revolver being out of time as the cylinder will not lock into place upon firing.

460 And a revolver is much more easily made to fire on a hair trigger than most other firearms. At least for someone with minimal skills or being told how to do it.

They have said that the gun had had a problem with firing before but that too could be a setup for Alec's tale.

Don't forget they have dozens or more writers on hand and willing to be a part of a coverup scenario so anything that's said or claimed to have been said or done has to be taken with that in mind. They could write that scenario and rehearse it in the time it took for LE to get there and start investigating. It's not like you or I would have to recover our wits and then come up with a scenario and then get others to play their parts. Alec had a well trained group that could've accomplished that for him on hand or a phone call away.

Plus with enough money offered, I'm sure anyone's conscience or fear of arrest/trial could be assuage. Me I'd want cash up front tho.

Well, don't forget that there's plenty of people that do nothing but operate bots that scrape websites for email addresses to sell.

A lot of places don't protect any emails that are wind up on their sites. I've had this same experience with some big name companies such as DELL and Microsoft that could only have been the source of some spates of spam.

Having a burner email is a good idea in general for all sorts of reasons.

Likely seen by our betters as a way to get some inconvenient bed partners in the grave before they became embarrassing.

And our doctor Mengele was there watching it live and getting off on them killing themselves for him.

I saw in the Aids crisis the first time I knew where the government and betters tossed "science" away to risk public health for politics. And the repeated lies about Heterosexual aids the use of fear to control the population into going along with it.
