pistol vs.knife. WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOS

Pictures a little on the graphic side… but sometimes that is what is required to make people wake up and see the light of day.

ALWAYS Carry a pistol to a knife fight!

(and use it first)

Ever wonder why cops shoot people armed with knives, broken bottles, glass shards, etc.? If an experienced knife fighter gets in close, you may not have the opportunity to use the handgun before he can do damage.

Remember the 21 foot rule?

Well, don't forget the "Ego Rule"...

These photos are of an officer trained in hand-to-hand combat. The officer figured that due to his size and fighting skills, he could disarm a knife wielding aggressor.







Here is why I am forwarding these.

To all the idiots out there who always say, "Why did the cops have to shoot him? He only had a (insert your choice of weapons here, i.e. knife, bat, club or whatever). HE DIDN'T HAVE TO BE SHOT. To that, I respond, "tough crap... shoot 'em".

If an officer tells you to drop your weapon, just drop it.

If you're a retard, stupid, on crack, mental or just "scared"... too bad.

No one deserves what this cop got for just doing his job.

If you got a knife, then you should die... period.

This is vivid proof of how deadly people who are "only armed with a knife" can be.

Some of the public think that officers should try to disarm someone armed with a knife but anyone who has had training in knife fighting will tell you even if you win you are going to get cut. Keep this in the back of your mind when confronting someone armed with an edged weapon.

HAVE I MADE MY POINT?

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.

Cranky Old Man....

When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.
Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, They found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital.

One nurse took her copy to Melbourne. The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas editions of magazines around the country and appearing in mags for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem.

And this old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet.

Cranky Old Man
What do you see nurses? . . . What do you see?
What are you thinking . . . when you're looking at me?
A cranky old man, . . . not very wise,
Uncertain of habit . . . with faraway eyes
Who dribbles his food . . . and makes no reply
When you say in a loud voice . . . 'I do wish you'd try!'
Who seems not to notice . . . the things that you do.
And forever is losing . . . A sock or shoe?
Who, resisting or not . . . lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding . . . The long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking? . . . Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse . . . you're not looking at me
I'll tell you who I am . . . As I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, . . . as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of Ten . . . with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters . . . who love one another
A young boy of Sixteen . . . with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now . . . a lover he'll meet.
A groom soon at Twenty . . . my heart gives a leap.
Remembering, the vows . . . that I promised to keep.
At Twenty-Five, now . . . I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide . . . And a secure happy home.
A man of Thirty . . . My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other . . . With ties that should last.
At Forty, my young sons . . . have grown and are gone,
But my woman is beside me . . . to see I don't mourn.
At Fifty, once more, . . . Babies play 'round my knee,
Again, we know children . . . My loved one and me.
Dark days are upon me . . . My wife is now dead.
I look at the future . . . I shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing . . . young of their own.
And I think of the years . . . And the love that I've known
I'm now an old man . . . and nature is cruel.
It's jest to make old age . . . look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles . . . grace and vigour, depart.
There is now a stone . . . where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcass . . . A young man still dwells,
And now and again . . . my battered heart swells
I remember the joys . . . I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living . . . life over again.
I think of the years, all too few . . . gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact . . . that nothing can last
So open your eyes, people . . . open and see.

:-)

Not a cranky old man. Look closer . . see ME!!

Remember this poem when you next meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within. We will all, one day, be there, too!

The best and most beautiful things of this world can't be seen or touched. They must be felt by the heart!

The Top Marine
In my opinion,
As a citizen, you recruit your military personnel to protect you, your loved ones, your freedoms, your country. You want those recruits to ultimately have the capability, morality, ingenuity and integrity to do the job you hired them to do -- like General Mattis has. If you don’t like him, what he stands for and how he’s done his job --- go be a citizen someplace else!


16 best quotes from the retiring Gen. James Mattis

March 18, 2013

Gen. James Mattis, known to his troops as “Mad Dog Mattis,” is retiring after 41 years of military service.

The Marine Corps Times is calling Mattis the “most revered Marine in a generation.”

Mattis has been commander of the United States Central Command since 2010 and led the 1st Marine Division into Iraq in 2003.

According to reports, President Barack Obama decided to force the Marine Corps legend out early because he rubbed civilian officials the wrong way, and forced them to answer tough questions regarding Iran .

Mattis was an inspirational leader of men and his powerful words will go down in history.

Here are some of the best words that the “Mad Dog” has had to offer:



1. “I don’t lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word.”

(San Diego Union Tribune)



AP

2. “The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.”

(Business Insider)

3. “I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you Jack with me, I’ll kill you all.”

(San Diego Union Tribune)

4. “Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact.”

(San Diego Union Tribune)



Flicker

5. “Marines don’t know how to spell the word defeat.”

( Business Insider)

6. “Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.”

(San Diego Union Tribune)

7. “The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears.”

(San Diego Union Tribune)

8. “You are part of the world’s most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.”

(Mattis’ Letter To 1st Marine Division)

9. “There are hunters and there are victims. By your discipline, cunning, obedience and alertness, you will decide if you are a hunter or a victim.”

(Business Insider)

10. “No war is over until the enemy says it’s over. We may think it over, we may declare it over, but in fact, the enemy gets a vote.”

(Defense News)

11. “There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It’s really great.”(AMEN!)

(San Diego Union Tribune)

12. “You cannot allow any of your people to avoid the brutal facts. If they start living in a dream world, it’s going to be bad.”

(San Diego Union Tribune)



Gen. Mattis and Gen. Dempsey / Flickr

13. “You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling.”

(CNN)

14. “I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.”

(San Diego Union Tribune )

15. “Demonstrate to the world there is ‘No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy’ than a U.S. Marine.”

(Mattis’ Letter To 1st Marine Division)

16. “Fight with a happy heart and strong spirit”

(Mattis’ Letter To 1st Marine Division)

This kid got an A+ for this paper!

BY A 15 yr. OLD SCHOOL KID who got an A+ for this entry



(TOTALLY AWESOME)!



Since the Pledge of Allegiance



And



The Lord's Prayer



Are not allowed in most



Public schools anymore



Because the word 'God' is mentioned.....



A kid in Arizona wrote the attached



NEW School prayer:



"New Pledge of Allegiance"



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Now I sit me down in school



Where praying is against the rule



For this great nation under God



Finds mention of Him very odd.



If scripture now the class recites,



It violates the Bill of Rights.



And anytime my head I bow



Becomes a Federal matter now.



Our hair can be purple, orange or green,



That's no offense; it's a freedom scene..



The law is specific, the law is precise.



Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.



For praying in a public hall



Might offend someone with no faith at all..



In silence alone we must meditate,



God's name is prohibited by the state.



We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,



And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks...



They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.



To quote the Good Book makes me liable.



We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,



And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.



It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,



We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong..



We can get our condoms and birth controls,

Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles..



But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,

No word of God must reach this crowd.



It's scary here I must confess,



When chaos reigns the school's a mess.



So, Lord, this silent plea I make:



Should I be shot; My soul please take!



Amen



If you aren't ashamed to do this, Please pass this on..



Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.'



~~~~~~~~~~~AWESOME~~~~~~~~~~



Not ashamed. Pass this on.

CHECK OUT THE PICTURES

lazy? fat ?

Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 870 right in the doorway. I gave it 6 shells, then left it alone and went about my business.

While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign right in front of our house.

After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn't moved itself outside. It certainly hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented to do so. In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise,with all the media hype about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people. Either the media is wrong, and it's the misuse of guns by PEOPLE that kills people, or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world.

Alright, well I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat.
