For those of you that are not familiar with Law Dog, he is one of the best writers I have run across on the web. He is funny, poignant, and straight to the truth. What follows below is yesterdays post. I take no credit other than trying to spread the message. Please take the time to read it and visit his site. You'll be glad you did.

"She was doing everything she was supposed to do to stay alive"

The sickening details of the murder of Meredith Emerson have been published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

One of the telling quotes to that sad tale is found about half-way down the article. It is from a Georgia Bureau of Investigation officer in response to the discovery that Meredith had not only struggled with her murderer, but when he asked for her ATM PIN number, she repeatedly gave him wrong numbers -- the quote is:

"That's one thing that broke my heart in this case," Bridges said. "She was doing everything she was supposed to do to stay alive, and we didn't get there in time."

Allow me to repeat the salient point: "She was doing everything she was supposed to do to stay alive"

That is incorrect.

Meredith Emerson did not do "everything she was supposed to do"

What she did was what forty years of liberal doublethink, forty years of pansy-arsed hippie empathy and guilt; and several decades of deliberate victim mentality systematically foisted onto the population in general and women in particular by the government and ivory-tower feel-good "intellectual" panty-waists have unilaterally decided that women are supposed to do.

In a just and sane world, Meredith Emerson would have been told from early girl-hood that she was expected to defend herself from unlawful force.

In a just and sane world, Meredith Emerson would have been taught not to fear firearms, but to accept them as tools for her defence.

In a just and sane world, Meredith Emerson would have grown up in a culture that supported her right to self-defence and a culture that promoted such.

In a just and sane world, Meredith Emerson would have been able to pick the firearm that best suited her without fear of arrest or sanction; and she would have been able to carry said firearm where and whenever she felt the need without some snot-nosed sanctimonious busybody drenching their knickers over that simple act.

In a just and sane world, Meredith Emerson would have been supported by state and Federal governments that would have allowed, abetted and encouraged her training with firearms.

In a just and sane world, when Gary Michael Hilton stepped out of the undergrowth with a bayonet and a baton, Meredith Emerson would have produced a .38 and centre-punched his rotten heart out through his spineless back.

Gary Michael Hilton is the rapist and murderer of Meredith Emerson.

The State and Federal Governments who consistently pass stupid and illogical firearms laws; the Brady Bunch who continue to parrot the foul and malicious lie that "Only the military and police need guns"; Hollywood's sanctimonious assertation that "Violence is never the answer", "Guns are a red-neck thing", and "Women will only get hurt by guns"; not to mention societies acceptance of the Cult of Victimhood to the point where said Cult is a gods-be-damned State Religion -- each and every one of these is an unindicted co-conspirator to the crimes that took this young ladies life.

And I hope the lot of you roast in hell for it.

Perfectly said. There's nothing to add really. I'm from Europe, I know how people like her think and it really annoys the hell out of me.
 
*snort*

I'd hope that folks around here would be familiar with me.

Yeah, there are a lot of newer posters on the site these days.

I do visit you regularly. Your blog isn't blocked at work. :D
You do a great job on the blog by the way.
 
Will someone please direct me to the part of the constitution where it stated that it's the GOVERNMENT'S duty to protect us? I understand that the Army is suppose to defend our borders. :confused: :fire:

Is there something in there I missed?
 
Great writing, with the uncommon trait of common sense. I agree with the other poster, that article should be on the front page of every newspaper in the U.S.A.
 
One week ago Sunday a friends son was MURDERED. He was only 22. Had been living in his apartment for 5 months. Someone murdered him in his apartment. Someone whom the police has not found or charged yet. His was quiet and a geek like guy. The police said there was a brutal fight in the apartment that he lost. He did not own a firearm. His father was not aganist them just was not interested enough to teach him about them and about fighting and about good and evil people. Now he is dead and I am ANGRY. My friends life is forever changed. Would a firearm have saved him? We will never know. No motive known. I have a bad feeling that whomever did this kept him for awhile. They could not say if he was beat to death or beat and stabbed. ANGER.
 
Copywrited?

Wonder if it would be "legal" to print that and mail a copy, with a short cover letter, to the editorial board of our hometown newspapers?

It is so profound that it should not be kept to the firearms community which already knows it is true. We need to put it in front of our "mainstream media" types and we need to do it now and in the future - again and again until some of them "get it".

Copywrited or not a copy is going to Ed Williams at the Charlotte Observer in tomorrow's mail.
