utter hypocrites

The NY newspaper who “outed” 50,000 legal pistol permit holders in Rockland and Westchester Counties and pissed off hundreds of millions of people worldwide, because Guns Are Bad, M’kay? and You Need To Know That Your Crazy Neighbors Are Packing now has a full and complete understanding of the phrase “the chickens have come home to roost” and has now hired armed security guards to protect their business offices (and presumably the homes of their employees that a swift and vengeful internet published as a counter attack). The very reason that people own guns in the first place, which the Journal News seems to think is so eeeeevil, is exactly what they immediately resorted to when the jaundiced and steely eye of public opinion turned against them. Complete hypocrisy. Completely typical of our liberal elite masters too.

Armed guards from RGA Investigations have taken up post at the Journal News’ Rockland County headquarters

Guns are good for the goose but NOT for the gander.

A Clarkstown police report issued on December 28, 2012, confirmed that The Journal News has hired armed security guards from New City-based RGA Investigations and that they are manning the newspaper’s Rockland County headquarters at 1 Crosfield Ave., West Nyack, through at least tomorrow, Wednesday, January 2, 2013.

According to police reports on public record, Journal News Rockland Editor Caryn A. McBride was alarmed by the volume of “negative correspondence,” namely an avalanche of phone calls and emails to the Journal News office, following the newspaper’s publishing of a map of all pistol permit holders in Rockland and Westchester.

Due to apparent safety concerns, the newspaper then decided to hire RGA Investigations to provide armed personnel to man the location.

Private investigator Richard Ayoob is the administrator of RGA. He told the Clarkstown Police on Friday, December 28 that there had been no problems on site at the Journal News headquarters despite the massive influx of phone calls and emails.

Golly, I can’t believe it. They felt unsafe and insecure, so they turned to firearms? Say it ain’t so Joe. Say it ain’t so.

PS - a shot in the dark? - I wonder if Richard Ayoob is any relation to Massad Ayoob. Mr. “.357 with a 125jhp”? Not a common name in these parts.

It is not clear whether the negative reaction has threatened the Journal News’ true popularity as a news source. As an anecdotal piece of evidence, the Rockland County Times confirms receiving an influx of new subscribers who stated they cancelled their subscription to the Journal News due to the gun story.

When I was growing up, the J-N was a decent little small town paper. Things have changed. May they go down in flames even faster than Newsweek, lose every subscriber and advertiser, and even have their rag paper rejected by the recycling centers.

Update? Then there’s this one. Which refers to this. Wonder what will be done with it?  And on a far darker note, there is this, which has been duplicated at nearly every gun store in the nation:

Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone. This isn’t a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war.
...
Tread carefully.

Molon Labe, mofos.

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.
