Every Names An Alias In Case Somebody Squeals

The Lure Of Government Money's Got A Very Strong Appeal

You’ll recognized the quite bastardized version of the lyric from above, Glen Frey’s “Smugglers Blues”.

Earlier in the week, when Charlie Kirk got shot, I shrugged more so than Atlas. I shared on FB my thoughts of the moment, that he reaped what he sowed. Many of my friends called me out for being a heartless prick, with no sympathy for his widow or children.

Nope. None. Not even a shred. That was my thought at the time, and a few days later I stand by it. He was asked by an attendee of the conference a bullshit question about transgender shooters, and gave the usual smug answer. Then he was asked “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?

KIRK: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”

It was almost like the shooter was listening. BAM.

I’ve been a strong defender of 2nd amendment issues my entire life, and doubt that this guy getting a bullet for his trouble is going to change that.

But an odd thing has happened over the last couple of days. Those that displayed anything on social media other than abject horror, breastbeating, wailing and gnashing of teeth are suddenly finding themselves being doxxed.

If you don’t know what that means, some previously-full-time-engaged-in-fingerbanging Karen or Living-in-Dad’s-Basement-full time-Right-Wing Civil Justice warrior took note of your name, location, job and is now trying to send that information to your employer demanding you be fired.

I’m only going to say this ONE time. I don’t think that is a road we want to go down.

Pretty sure my name is on that list already, long before I ever said anything on FB. I used to be one of those suspect members of the media, So fairly sure that my name was on the list a while back. Stand in line, fucko. TSA had me on a list long before that, just based on childhood habits involving low order explosives.

Anyhoodles, This whole list thing…is this a path you REALLY want to go down?

Just think of the number of your political heroes that are on hooker client lists, as yet undisclosed.

Think of everyone you know here in Maine that was on the famed “Zumba Hooker List”

Think of the petabytes of tracking cookies that would trace back to people you know, looking up midget clown porn.

See, lists are a tricky thing, kids. Several years back I lost the most important person in my life to a drug overdose. I was (and still am) filled with a bitter rage, the kind that makes a reasonable man do unreasonable things. There was a big story in the last two weeks about the “Church Of Safe Injection” and the shit-filled hovel they left behind in Lewiston.

Portland has had just as many issues with those handing out the free needles. Every social science type, medical “expert” (who just happens to have a fiduciary interest) and well meaning live and let live type regularly appear before the city council to beg for additional funding and understanding.

Meanwhile, my girl is still dead. Her, and hundreds others like her across the state.

One of the big problems with the needle exchange thing is, they are never exchanged. They are dumped wherever the junkster decided to boot up. Could be a school, a playground, a parking lot or behind your property.

Portland TRIED to do that thing about paying junkies to turn in needles (think bottle deposit…without the deposit) and that just gave them more money to buy junk.

So in the whole list thing, I’ve been busy this weekend compiling. Every individual citizen who ever spoke positive about the needle exchange.

Their name.

And their address.

I’m working on a map, a Google map based thing. Starting with every council member, and going on down the list of all those that think free needles are the best way to combat the opioid crisis. I plan on publishing it here as a place to dump all the gathered needles in the middle of the night.

You see, until you bring the problem to somebody’s front door…they don’t see it as a problem. City staff has even gone so far as to say that no special precautions need to be taken to pick them up off YOUR lawn and dispose of them.

These were the same people thirty years ago that lost their shit about needles and other medical waste washing up on the beaches.

I don’t like lists, even though I’m on several.

But this is a road America does not need to go down. Once we start, we are at our end.
