Some guy took a video, this is what passerbuyers saw this morning. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=174640659358484&set=vb.100004376533846&type=2&theater

Lots and lots of activity and death in the last two days, specifically in regard to what you just posted.

"Let the president have the authority."  - CK

Said in regard to the president being able to pass money from one government entity to another, basically overriding any congressional oversight that existed in regards to budgets that had been passed, all in an effort to grant Obama the ability to funnel funds to keep whatever agencies that Obama deems "important," up and operating.

Good thing he spent all that time cleaning it previously. Wouldn't want to leave one's weapon in a state of disrepair.

Detroit is an excellent place to buy property.

I've said it before and I will say it again, multiculturalism has never worked.

In every instance in history, societies that have been multicultural, have at one point or another led to either the death of the weaker groups, the group's expulsion, or assimilation (through being bred into), the stronger group.

Nature dictates that there is no such thing as getting along. It doesn't mean that people are basically racist or hate each other. It just means that people intuitively seek to protect their subset.

Darwin and others were right.

What the hell? Is this one of the same people that shout that people that voted for the Tea Party should die?

Thanks for the laugh.

I wonder how far off the US is to seizing factories that "stop selling firearms to all New York law enforcement and government agencies," or other states that oppose civilian firearm ownership.

Maybe that is why Obama is signing executive orders at warp speed.

I can only smile.

"Some people just want to see the world burn."

But not for the reason one may think; sometimes it's better than what has been going on.

Sometimes one just needs to start from scratch.

Grateful for GM playing me a James Bond video when poking fun at me two years ago, and for people that talk behind other people's backs.  I'm still not cool.

I haven't fought in a while. Then again, I've never been much good at it. Hope I can make it.

This has always been the only way law enforcement works effectively. Otherwise corruption exists and you can bet the locals know exactly what is going on and are there when things are actually happening. Police as a whole should cease to exist. They just aren't the best way. People being responsible for themselves is the best way.
This

Since you're so smart.... "Graham's argument that it was error to require him to prove that the allegedly excessive force was applied maliciously and sadistically to cause harm, and holding that a reasonable jury applying the Johnson v. Glick test to his evidence could not find that the force applied was constitutionally excessive."

Do you mind explaining for those of us that aren't quite as bright as you are, what isn't "constitutionally excessive" about having 60+ rounds fired at you when you are working and minding your own business?

Enquiring minds want to know cartel boy.

Yes Guro....if it isn't attempted murder and bad marksmanship... I don't know what is.

GM.... seriously? Your position on this one is indefensable. You're way out of line on both accounts.

Maybe it is the amount of practice that we get. I am certain when we put thirty rounds downrange, we score more than two hits, especially against unarmed targets, if we were to shoot at unarmed targets... then again, that's kind of my question. Why would you? They have a problem identifying who it is they actually are shooting at before taking the safety off of their weapon, drawing a bead, and engaging? I particularly like how they said that was an accident. They should be up on attempted murder charges in all three shootings.

I have been busy in Mexico. Very busy. I can actually say the same of anyone that has been subjected to years in the law enforcement environment. A good example of that would be the two unarmed women that were not threatening anyone and were fired upon repeatedly by the police. Last time I checked, it is our job to arrest people, not execute them. Maybe I missed the memo.

Brilliant PC. Nice shot.

Make no question about it. Gun control is about government control of citizens, given away by people that believe the world can be a "safe" place.

Safety is an illusion. It simply doesn't exist.
Firearms are about being able to inflict violence in order to exert control. That is why the police and military have them.

Gun control advocates will throw every insult and excuse under the sun at people that see the wisdom in being able to protect oneself. They will say things like "real men don't need to hide behind a gun," but they expect their police to have them, "thirty round magazines aren't needed to hunt deer," and "guns kill."

These same liberals never want to confront the argument that many dictators around the world have killed the same people they were supposed to protect, with a body-count that tallies in the hundreds of millions of innocents killed. We have seen this same lesson repeated throughout history time and time again, yet they choose to ignore it.

Throughout the course of mankind, there has only ever been one pertinent question in regard to freedom: "Can my violence conquer your violence?"

Every shred of freedom that has ever existed has depended upon the ability to inflict violence if necessary. With examples like Stalin, Hitler, Kim il Sung, Kim Jong Il, Pol Pot, Mao, Castro, Amin, Pinochet, Taylor, and many, many others, we would be ill advised to forgo our inalienable right to defend ourselves from anyone, especially those that wield power simply because others "think" the world can be made into a safe place to live.

Gun control MUST be resisted at any and all costs! History has shown us as much.

I am a huge fan of gun control. The liberal party is going in the right direction.

I can only laugh, know that I live in a country that others describe as "third world," and know...that you all are not far behind.

Not surprising... some people will do anything to stay on the public tit.

Is some place, far away, reaching for a star. Hard to work so hard for something, to risk one's life for it, to even kill for it if necessary, knowing that at any minute, it could all collapse.
You have to REALLY believe in yourself and what you are doing. And the worst part is even if you really are the best, something decades ago could topple it all in an instant.
I hate my past. I hate not knowing. Even to me, saying that I showed up and did my best is just chickenshit. There is no try. There are only "did," and "did not." God, I hope I "did." Please. I don't ask for so much You know.

I am certain they are taking Nieto's approach to a national gendarmerie very seriously.
Generally, many of the Municipal and Ministerial police are aligned with organized crime, especially the Municipales. They call them Polizetas and there is much truth to it.
As of late, they are changing all of the police and or agents here to being "Acreditables" which is trained more or less in SWAT tactics, even at the municipal level, but more importantly, each needing to put in their training at one of a few select military bases and pass extensive confidence tests in addition to polygraph tests.
At the end of that, they will be sent back to their respective bases, or if working at a State or Federal level, will be sent to one of three groups depending upon their level of education and or specialty; be it Operativos, Investigaciones, or Tacticos... the latter two requiring at least a Bachelors degree or Masters degree respectively.

There is much to be done in the way of combatting corruption, but it is easy to say that the selection process just got much steeper, and that even as this is being typed, there are former police officers being fired in droves; of which, I am certain when Nieto starts spending 60% of the budget on combatting this war, and that little of that money being reinvested in the economy, that the former agents and officers will seek work at the hands of the cartels. We will have to wait and see how that goes.

On other levels, the amount of cooperation between military, state, and federal agencies has been improving and often, the three even work on missions together.

Things are getting worse in Mexico, but at the same time, it is leading to Mexico becoming a better country with less lawlessness. It is the course that needs to be followed and IMO Nieto is correct in his approach.

Just got the email GC. Thank you Sir.

Grateful for the info and this morning's conversation with one of them at work. Grateful for the guidance I get here.

Gracias todos modos a todos. 

Wondering if anyone here has any info on CISEN. Thank you in advance.

Work has been going very well. SEDENA lost my original documents that I need to present for the test for my CUIP. Praying I can get it sorted in two days.

 
lol

I think that everyone that supports Obama is a dick, but then, that´s me.

[/quote]

That was always my understanding, a lack of Heart.
[/quote]
I have zero heart.

Basically, point being; It seems the bigger the tribe grows, that to classify someone as a dick because they don´t hold the same views as others as a result of their life experiences to me, seems small. Maybe I am wrong. I know that I am newer than most, so, who am I to say?

Now I know the rules.

Didn´t know it was a popularity contest. Thought it was living by certain principles.

I don´t know if I will be able to go to gatherings in the US anymore for quite some time. I am basically married to Mexico now. Either way, I want to thank everyone for teaching me, for fighting me, and wish you the best. I´ll continue training here and fight with Guro Sanchez when work allows for it. I´m more than willing to fight and get lots of training every single day.
Perhaps the DBMA Distance program for military and law enforcement would be an option so I could start growing the tribe here.
Either way, miss you guys.

I´m a first timer, fresh in from Mexico. lol

Wish I was there. It´d be fun for round two. Have fun.

I like the idea of a pro photographer... great pics. I like C Yo Dog´s idea too of having other fighters take photos. I don´t think the audience always gets why the rules are what they are.

Having said that, I almost certainly won´t be making this Open due to work. I wish it weren´t so, but it is what it is. I hope to have some time off in a year. We´ll see.

Best of luck to everyone.

Esta cabron! Saludos desde Zacatecas, Mexico!

It´s official. I´m in. Grateful.

There is evidence that substantiates that PRI bought the vote... $500 to 1000 (peso) giftcards at Soriana (think Target) in the event that PRI won. Before the elections, PRI had distributed the giftcards to people only when the person had presented the IFE (Mexican Identification, also necessary to cast a vote), and had promised to vote for PRI. When the votes were tallied, if PRI won, the cards at that point, would be validated, and the voters could then cash in on the amounts.

It is necessary to say, that like all multi party systems (and the inherent problems with them, such as in Europe), PRI still enjoys a substantial amount of support from hardline supporters, but also from disenchanted members of PAN, the hardline conservatives (the weakest party of the three). PRD members would never vote for PRI, and there is no doubt that the offer of monies to the general public put the PRI out in front.

I myself support PRI, my fiance (a liberal), doesn´t support them at all. The facts are what they are.

A link to a letter that Soriana has released in regard to the cards. The mere fact that the cards exist speaks volumes. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150912401037513&set=o.231776320252115&type=1&theater

Profundly grateful for the guidance I recieve from EACH of you, for the success of an interview that would not have been possible without your guidance, and for the proof that the martial arts can effect change. I will never shame you. Thank you.

Jefe, soy Dayvid. Te voy a llamar en un par de horas.

Politely, I ask; when aren´t politics used to drive prosecutions? I say this because there are several examples of politics and justice tied together, as well as examples of crimes not being prosecuted.
You´re all aware of several examples of both, so no need to beat a dead horse with examples.
To me, I think it a serious flaw to have the justice system and politics tied together.

Edit: I should clarify... I find selective enforcement of the law to be a serious error whenever it is applied, especially in regard to politics. Ity erodes the moral fabric of which the justice system must be comprised.

Muy buenas tardes a todos ustedes. Estoy ya en Zacatecas. Pienso radicar aquí de manera permanente. La siguiente semana espero poder ver al Gurú Mauricio Sanchez, en el D.F., y poder entrenar con él por algunas ocasiones, durante el año. Yo estaba entrenando con el clan de NoHo  durante los últimos tres años, y durante el último encuentro de la Tribu, obtuve el título de "Dog" y estoy buscando compañeros interesados para poder entrenar conmigo aquí en Zacatecas; Ya tengo un lugar pensado para poder hacerlo. Así  mismo ya estoy entrenando Judo y Karate. En EUA yo estuve entrenando bajo el Sensei Gokor Chivichian en Judo y Sambo. Tengo un especial interés en no solamente mantener mi nivel de entrenamiento, sino poder aumentarlo, por lo que agradecería cualquier sugerencia tanto de Guru Crafty y Guru Sanchez. Espero la siguiente semana poder platicar personalmente con Gurú Sánchez en un viaje que tengo pensado realizar al DF.
Tengo algunos asuntos que atender aquí en México, lo que me mantendrán mucho tiempo aquí. Estoy muy interesado en ayudar a aumentar el sistema de Hermanos de Perro en México. Guru Crafty, Guru Sanchéz, por favor, si puedo ayudar en esto, avísenme. 
Si hay alguien interesado aquí en México en entrenar conmigo, por favor, envíen emai al krasniymir@rambler.ru o llámenme a este número de Zacatecas 492 159 28 33
Atte. D.D.F.

I've lived and worked in Mexico for a while now and spent a good amount of time in most of the country.

Although there is violence in Zacatecas due to its proximity to Durango, Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, etc., and also due to the logistical support the main corridor provides when transporting arms and narcotics, beheadings in Zacatecas are unusual: http://zacatecasonline.com.mx/noticias/policia/23109-cabezas-humanas-mercado.html

It is also unusual that the cartel (presumably Zetas), shot down a helicopter close to Jerez not long ago. They say that it was a mechanical failure, but there are rumors that the bird was shot down. Either way, more activity than usual going on: http://www.freefirezone.org/cgi-bin/archivedstory.pl?whichstory=2319

They seem to be ramping up activity within the region. I expect much to be changing in Mexico this year. The Zetas and Mara Salva Trucha which had been at war with each other for years have had training relations together near the suothern border close to Guatemala. Change is in the wind.

Seemingly going against his father, Rand Paul endorsed Romney's presidential bid last night. It remains to be seen as to speculation that Rand will be offered a VP slot from Romney or what the reasoning is.
http://www.dailypaul.com/238449/rand-paul-endorses-mitt-romney

I am very much interested in the TCCC. Are there still slots available?

May be winding things down in Mexico for awhile. Sent over mybreg for the open but my name isn't on the list. Should I fax over another PK?
Greetings to all.
I'll be at training tomorrow as well in NoHo.

Grateful to hear from KD and for being able to fight. I learned much.
