Why I Love Texas and Don't Live in Cali Anymore....

The following is footage from the L.A. riots. Two store owners decided to protect their stores from rioters and fired warning shots with their pistols. A car full of "gangstas" pull up and start firing at them. They fired back and chase off the looters and "gangstas". Just two guys armed only with pistols defended an entire shopping center from a rioting mob. The looters, rioters, and armed gangs decided to go elsewhere for easier pickings.

Now, here's the part that made me angrier than heck.... The news reporter described the armed gang of looters as "a car full of black kids." These were armed criminals trying to rape, loot, and kill. However, the liberal news reporter makes the criminals seem like victims while painting the real victims as the criminals. Liberalism is the disease that rots California. I invite y'all to be ever vigilant in the fight against this disease. For starters, join the NRA, register as a Republican or Libertarian, participate in peaceful protest, and VOTE! Yes, I know, this will take time and money. You may even have to call in sick to work so you could protest. You might be surprised to find that FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.

P.S. Please go to Arizona this weekend and protest for conservatism. If conservatives have another tepid turnout with 200 protesters against illegal behavior and 20,000 protesters for illegal behavior like we had in Dallas a couple weeks ago, then this whole country will turn into California, including Texas. I wanna see y'all at the protest this Memorial weekend in Arizona! Please note that it is NOT racist to go protest for conservatism. I am a LEGAL immigrant to America. In the 1970's, America was undergoing a recession, much like what is happening now. However, LEGAL immigrants came to this country and started businesses with a capitalization of at least $1 million that employed at least 10 American citizens. In exchange for saving America from the recession, these patriots were given citizenship. How much incentive is there for LEGAL immigrants to create jobs if you can swim across the Rio Grande for free? To save us from this recession, we must safeguard our borders. To save our children from being kidnapped into gangs selling illegal drugs to our kids, we must safeguard our borders. How do I know illegals are bringing drugs into our country? Coca doesn't grow in America, folks. The Mexican government has a "humanitarian" agency that helps illegals cross our border so that they won't die of heat stroke. The Mexican government gives them water and tells them safe places to rest in the shade. It is an organized attempt of the Mexican government to invade our country. Just to make sure that we're unarmed against their imported narco terrorists like the ones who killed Bob Krantz, he suggested that big O ban guns. Big O agrees. Big O wants to give all the illegals "amnesty" so that they'll vote for him at the next election and vote away your 2nd Amendment rights. Are you gonna let 'em do this to you? Let's safeguard the 2nd Amendment. Let's save America! See y'all in Arizona!

I worked in downtown L.A. during the riots. One of my best friends at work, Ernest, lived a couple of blocks from where Reginald Denny was pulled from his truck and savagely beaten. I was in Ernest's office when he called his wife at home as we were watching the live news feed of the Reginald Denny beating, and told his wife to get his AK and not to let anybody through the front door until he got home... and then he left. I saw all that news footage live when it was aired. The only station that aired it and called it for what it was is KTLA Channel 5, with Hal Fishman at the helm. God rest his soul. There is other video footage out there of a Korean shop owner defending his store with an AR15.

My office was located on the corner of 1st Street and Banning, right at the western foot of the 1st Street bridge, about 1/3 of a mile from City Hall. Directly on the other side of the bridge is the Aliso Village housing projects, which is inhabited primarily by poor Hispanics, and is absolutely infested with East L.A. gangs. In fact, a couple of those gang members worked for me at the company. When the rioting broke out, I looked out my office window and saw literally thousands of young Hispanic men streaming across the bridge toward City Hall, where things eventually got way out of hand and some of them eventually actually attacked the Parker Center police headquarters and thew trashcans through the doors and windows.

The next day, a friend and I left the office for lunch at a restaurant literall right around the corner from our building. As we rounded the corner, we ran into the rear of a National Guard patrol that was advancing in the same direction down the sidewalk. They were all armed, and guy in the rear was walking backwards covering their six with an M16. Scared the pooh out of him and us.

The entire L.A. basin was blanketed with the smoke of burning buildings, and it was as bad or worse than the worst national forest wildfires we ever had. And it was a much more acrid smoke, as that which was burning was more than just sagebrush. It was "only" a few days, but the whole thing seemed to last forever. Prior to that, I was simply a gun owner. Ever since then, I have been more concerned with being prepared, in a general sense, for the worst, and some of my gun acquisitions since then have been part of that consideration.

Civilization is a thin veneer which distinguishes the brutish from the cultured. Under certain social pressures, that veneer can wear through and expose the ugly side of humanity. In 1992 in Los Angeles, what was revealed when the veneer wore through was the violent and morally compromised nature of gangsta culture. It has been there for a long time, festering like a boil, and in '92, it ruptured and drained its mess all over Los Angeles. It has never really been cleaned up since.

California used to be a nice place to live and raise your kids. We moved here in 2006, and you couldn't pay me enough to go back there to live again. It's not that we don't have similar social issues here in Texas, but at least here, the law begins with the presumption that a person has A) a right to defend their persons and their property from criminal abuse; and B) has a right to carry and use a firearm in that endeavor, if that is what is called for. California dispenses with the notion of those rights, and everything else flows from there. The founders began with the ancient law that a human being has the most basic and primal right to be secure in their person and property. Everything in the Constitution flows from that. California, a state which does not revere the Constitution, is living through the results of the state's refusal to accept that most basic tenet of common law. Consequently, that attitude is reflected in the reportage in the above linked video.

It's disgusting, really, how far they've let their pants fall down.

Thought this might be of interest in this thread. Hubby's boss sent it via email and I found it interesting.
