Some people are really for it and some people are really against it. Very few end up in the middle. Well the Supreme Court has recently made comments on it.

Kentucky is allowed to go back and start executing people again. The Supreme Court vote in favor of the executions. Now this will make some people mad. For me I think it is a good thing. Some people earn the right to be removed from the gene pool and from the planet. I am not for killing (err executing) people to do so. But sometimes when people commit crimes of a certain nature/level you just need to remove them from society permanently. And putting them in prison for life is not the same thing. They will just take their evilness and teach others.

Now here is the article about how the Supreme Court got involved with the issue in the first place. Why on earth would Child Rapist think they should live? They should know better. I am surprised that the local other inmates didnt beat them to death. I am not an expert on convicts but what little I know, they do not take kindly to child rapists.

There was a nice article on how to pick locks.  It is the very basic intro to lock picking.  Here are some more: lockpicking guide, the art of lockpicking, TOOOL, & TOOOL. Those second set of links were some I had bookmarked in FireFox.

I had a great phrase that was running through my head as I tried to sleep last night… “ROCK OUT WITH YOUR autoCOCKer OUT…”


This weekend was a freakin blast. I got to hang out with my good friends. And we got to shoot lots of people with 68 calibre paint. I was able to get get a gunsmith expert (Patrick Winter – and that is probably misspelled) to time/tweak my new AutoCocker with an E2 Blade. Damn the thing rocks. My new high speed hopper could not keep up. damn that is a lot of paint fast. I got no real injuries over the weekend. Bounced off a few trees. A few bruises from the paint hits at close range or hot guns. The worst game injury was Derek’s finger. He got shot at very close range. He swelled up but not real damage, nor broken. Good news for us.

This week while shooting with a friend, I got to do two new firsts. First one is I got to shoot a fully automatic submachine gun (SMG). That was wickedly cool. I only could do very very short bursts and keep it on a very large paper target. My friend on the other hand could do the full clip without an issue. Granted they have shot it much much more than I have. Second was I got to shoot a silenced pistol. Nice Walther P22 that was silenced. The Walther was kind off balance without the silencer. It just felt right with the silencer. Now I want one. I probably wont get one since I dont need one but it was way too fun to shoot.
