The Manhunt: A Personal Note

First of all, I have a confession to make. I was up most of last night talking to friends and e-mailing back and forth with those same friends. Almost all of them are residents of Northeast Atlanta where the manhunt was concentrating. From 1998 to 2000, I lived in Alpharetta and worked in Duluth. I have literally dozens of friends in that area and I cannot tell you how afraid they all were last night. I could hear the fear in their voices on the phone and read it in their e-mails. One former co-worker, a young lady who is an excellent programmer, literally burst into tears while I was talking to her. Make no mistake people, when an extremely dangerous killer like Nichols is on the loose and no one knows where he is, everything comes to a halt as parents keep their children indoors and nobody goes out shopping or to a movie. It was lockdown time in Atlanta last night. Guys I know were cleaning their guns and keeping them close by .. just in case.

A further complication for me was when I heard on Fox News that Nichols was a computer techie and Unix Administrator. You all know that is my field of work and most of the people I talked to were techies like me. I wracked my brain to see if I could recall ever working with him or around him. Fortunately, I wasn’t able to make any connection. No one else that I talked to was either. They all lost sleep last night though. This is no way for a civilized soociety to live. No way, no how.

I spent most of the night researching the Supreme Court decisions that led to this horrible outrage against the peaceful citizenry (see related post below) and was outraged at what I found. Between that and our server going down here and the work to rebuild yesterday’s posts and the constant phone calls and e-mails, I have not slept at all. I am bone tired and angry as hell. I would have preferred that Nichols had been gunned down in a blaze of gunpowder and lead with his body so perforated with holes as to be rendered unidentifiable by even his mother. In lieu of that, I recommend we give him a fair trial .. then take him out and hang him .. and leave the rotting corpse to dangle in the wind in front of the Fulton County jail for the buzzards to pick clean .. in full view of the other prisoners.

And while we’re at it, let’s get some of these pansy-assed lawmakers to get off their damned high horse and stop coddling criminals. Give us back our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness .. none of which are currently available to us when armed and dangerous criminals are roaming the land, felons are given life sentences and then paroled after seven years, the death penalty is forbidden in quite a few states and courts bend over backward to protect felons while victims receive no protection whatsoever. Even worse, the politicians want to take away our guns and rob us of our last defense against these felons who the courts, in their righteous zeal to protect the madmen in our society, allow these killers, rapists and thieves back on the street at the drop of a hat .. or some bullshit technicality.

It is our lawyers, judges and politicians that have let it come to this and if we want to take back our country and live in peace we have to start cleaning out that judicial system right away. Not next week, next month or next year. Now. Call or write your Congress-scum today. Urge them to change the laws. Throw out Miranda. Give the police back the power they need to protect and serve us properly. Stop trying to take away our private firearms. Apoint judges to the bench who will be tough on criminals. In other words, do the damn job they were appointed to do .. protect the people they serve.

DAMN! I’m headed to the range to work off some steam. I have a new scope for my Winchester 30-30 (Model 94) that I need to sight in. I wish I had been in the SUV taking Nichols to the Federal Jail in Atlanta this morning. The exchange would probably have gone like this ....

ME: Hey, sport! How do ya like my shiney pistol here?
NICHOLS: umh ....
ME: Wann take a closer look at it?
NICHOLS: errh ....
ME (holding pistol out): Here, go ahead grab it.
NICHOLS: uh, no ... I think I better not ..
ME: Aw, c’mon sport! Go fer it!
NICHOLS: naw, man I uh ....
ME: What’s the matter, puss? Ain’t you got any guts, shit-fer-brains?
NICHOLS (getting angry): Hey man, who you callin’ ....
ME: BANG! Oops! Hey, lieutenant! This guy just tried to take my gun.
LIEUTENANT: Is he dead?
ME: He ain’t breathin’ ....
LIEUTENANT: Better make sure ....
ME: BANG! BANG! BANG! OK, Lieutenant. Now I’m sure.

- The End -

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
