Just in case.


 I practiced criminal law in Philly for a long time, and during that time I represented some... let's just say... people who who most of us would consider less than upstanding citizens. 

Lately I have been thinking a lot about some of my experiences. 

One particular memory has been standing out more than most. The time I went into a "rough" neighborhood--- even by Philly's standards--- to see a client and collect some cash from him. I never worried about how dangerous the neighborhoods I visited  were, because somehow I always thought that the people I represented, and the cred of being a criminal lawyer, would protect me. This time, though, I felt uneasy. It probably had something to do with how much cash I had on me at the time. A youngster (who couldn't have been more than sixteen) and his pal approached me before I got into my car. They didn't look particularly threatening, and, as it turned out, they knew who I was and just wanted to make small talk. "You a "lawyer, right?" He looked even younger up close. I told him I was. " You got your  fire with you?" I knew he was referring to a gun, and I told him no. I told him something to the effect that I didn't think that I needed one among my own people. He laughed and flashed what looked like a 9mm Glock so I could see it. "I always keep mine Mr Lawyer, just in case". He laughed again and walked off with his friend. I didn't even want to think about where his life was heading. I am pretty sure that he is either dead or in jail now.

The more I read and hear about the carnage on the streets of Philadelphia and other major American cities, the more I think about that encounter with that youngster in North Philadelphia some fifteen years ago. Guns are still everywhere, and every sixteen year old in North Philadelphia who wants a gun can get one. And not just any gun, a really powerful one; like a 9mm Glock.

There are a lot of reasons for these urban terrorists terrorizing each other and law abiding citizens. I could could go on and on about their broken homes, poor school systems, toxic masculinity, and societal failures that have done nothing to address the root causes of poverty. But the quickest way to reduce gun violence in the streets is to make guns less available. It's really not rocket science. And  I know that it's easier said than done, but we have to say it so that we can at least start somewhere. 

Philly made national news again for all the wrong reasons this past weekend.  Knuckleheads on South Street started brawling, and rather than fight with their fists, they chose to settle their differences with their guns. And of course, they all had their guns, because every young punk in Philly either has one, or knows how to get one. They are not in the NRA, and they were not trained in proper gun safety or how to shoot. So when they start beefing amongst  each other and reach for their "fire",  people die, and chaos ensues. 

"I always keep mine Mr. Lawyer, just in case".

Man, it's sad to see a country with so much potential squander it. So many potential lawyers, engineers, doctors, architects, ect. lost for another generation. Can we all agree that we need to move forward as a nation and one way to do that is to start caring about one another? Eh, who am I kidding?

dinthebeast said...

I grew up with guns, but in a rural area where they weren't a pathology like they are where I moved when I was 23.
In Oakland in the eighties, a gun was a power symbol, a way to instantly win any argument, and a free pass for failing to learn the very social skills needed to live in those kind of population densities.
In a rare instance of good decision making, I had left all of my guns at my dad's house in Eureka when I moved to Oakland, and I never once missed them in the 35 years I lived there.
Never mind that they would have been gone in the first break in we had there, when they left all of my guitars and Jack's touring band equipment only to steal Briana's two shot derringer pistol from between the mattress and the wall in the back bedroom.
I remember thinking about the fact that a criminal now had a two shot .22 mag Hi-Standard that fit in the palm of your hand when a wave of relief came over me that they didn't have my .32 special model 94, because they could have really done some damage with that.

I voted a straight Democratic ticket too. But then, I always do since I first voted in 1964. There was one exception for Thomas Kuchel because he pushed for the Civil Rights Bill.

It's difficult to understand why so many people in our country vote against their own self interest.

PilotX said...

"I voted a straight Democratic ticket too."

The beauty of living in a reliably blue state is you can vote your conscience. I can wander off and vote Green occasionally and not have to worry about some trump wannabe sneaking into office. If I were in a purple state you better believe I'd go with the Dems. Not my favorites but a shit ton (not sure the exact measurement of that but it must be a lot) better than the insane party that thinks MTG, Palin and Hershel Walker are viable candidates.

suggestions for ridicule:
Teach boxing with weighted gloves?
we did that in the neighborhood due to retired middleweight living there. Any fight would be
with those weighted gloves on. Pound the crap out of each other with him refereeing.

Have a location(no investigations occur, only dead removal) where folks who wanted to shoot each other went? That would deal with the bystander issue.

Teach anger management and conflict resolution?

Thank you for proving that you know nothing about guns, Fool Negro.  9mm isn't a particularly powerful cartridge.  You want power in a pistol round, try .357 Magnum, .40 or .45 caliber.

But the quickest way to reduce gun violence in the streets is to make guns less available.

Yeah, right.  You keep claiming this but the violence keeps getting worse.

NYC proved what works decades ago:  stop-and-frisk sketchy characters, arrest the ones carrying illegal guns and send them away for long prison terms.  The sketchy characters stopped carrying guns after that.

If Black Lives Matter, you should be all for locking the violent away from the rest of society.  It saved more black people than all the gun control laws in the country.

mike from iowa said...

A 2016 study found no evidence that stop-and-frisk was effective. One of the authors of that study, Jeffrey Fagan of Columbia University, said that "you can achieve really very positive crime control, reductions in crime, if you do stops using those probable-cause standards.

Anymoose must work for Fake Noize because he spews easily refutable fake noize bullshit.

“They're a lot like toddlers in that respect:”

This is precisely how much of the GOP operates.

Outrage if someone tells them what to do. Double outrage if they are being told what to do in order to promote the welfare of someone else. Triple outrage if the “someone else” turns out to be a member of a group they consider inferior.

All of this was on display during COVID restrictions. When informed their kid can’t go to school — not mainly for their kid’s benefit, because COVID rarely severely impacts kids, but so as not to act as a vector spreading disease to strangers they’ll never even meet —you’d see a look of non-comprehension pass over their faces. You’d finish explaining it, but none of it penetrated their thick skulls. They’d have a “does not compute” reaction to being told they have a moral obligation to others, and they’d ask again, more angrily, “Why can’t my kid go to school?!”

Like they hadn’t even heard any of your explanation.

Today’s GOP is the “freedom to be an asshole” party.

Flying Junior said...

That was quite a conversation, Field and an amazing but sad story.

The first time I ever saw a gun in the possession of a criminal it was a big old Colt .45 that a biker guy was showing off to the little La Jolla High school boys. "This is my cop-killer, he said gruffly.

The second time I saw some maniac playing with a six-shooter it was a skinhead white supremacist. I guess our buddy in electronics school knew him from his younger days. "I use this to kill niggers," he proclaimed loudly. Noticeably perturbed I must have been quite taken aback. He looked me straight in the eye and asked me, "You ain't no nigger-lover are you?"

One asshole brought a gun on a drug deal I set up. I was fuckin' pissed. The little rat. Other than that we never saw them in my circle. We were just fun-loving thieves and druggies. No one ever had a gun. I guess that came with the territory. Life was easy. No trouble with cops.

Then several years later I finally met a couple of guys that owned guns and wondered why I didn't.

But I get that it is a big part of the criminal underworld. It's a tragedy. We don't have nearly the party shootings and drive-bys in California like we did in the 1980s. Black churches having funerals and memorial services almost every week between Los Angeles and San Diego.

Masks have minimal to zero effectiveness against RNA viruses.  They are too small to be filtered.

OTOH, masks DO make people more vulnerable to bacterial infections such as pneumonia.  And we already know that the "vaccine" does not prevent catching or spreading COVID.

Conclusion:  Anyone who pushes masks or not-vaccines is pro-COVID and pro-death.

“Masks have minimal to zero effectiveness against RNA viruses. They are too small to be filtered.”

Lol, no.

Viruses never travel through the air on their own. They travel inside water droplets emitted from your respiratory passages as you breathe. Those water droplets are plenty large enough to be filtered by masks, although some are obviously better than others.

I am amazed by the creativity of the COVID deniers in coming up with ridiculous sciency-sounding dumbass excuses for risking their own health and others’.

Honestly, “viruses are too small to defend against” is some primo, top-shelf dumbassery.

The only reason “masks don’t work” is because so many people flat-out refuse to wear them, and thereby MAKE them not work.

Chicago tore down a bunch of stuff in near west Chicago with the promise to build a bunch of affordable housing for low income and higher income buyers. After partially fullfilling that promise, Mayor Lightfoot wants to turn 26 acres over to a pro soccer team owned by a Chicago billionaire and had already allowed other entities to build other stuff unrtelated to low income housing.

This is a saga that’s been going on for a couple decades now, Mike.

Chicago demolished tons of public housing units back in the days of Mayor Daley (Junior). Admittedly, this public housing was in terrible shape, and was laid out as high-rise ghettoes that isolated its tenants from any economic opportunity that could help them to escape poverty.

But the plan to replace the housing was half-assed and heavily dependant on free-market investment, which never materialized. So the city has never completely fulfilled its promise to replace all the public housing that had been demolished.

Renting CHA land to a soccer team is just the latest chapter.

“If we get out the votes and add two more Dems to the senate, we may be able to get some real gun control legislation through the senate next year.”

Conventional wisdom says the Dems are probably going to get killed in November, though, not gain seats.

Unfortunately, many voters are too clueless to understand that Biden doesn’t have much ability to stop skyrocketing gas prices. (Unless he were to use the Defense Production Act to compel American oil companies to pump more oil, and also constrain them from exporting any of that oil, but it’s doubtful that SCOTUS would let him get away with doing that.) And voters are also too clueless to understand that the Democrats don’t actually have full control of Congress with only 50 seats plus Kamala in the Senate, and that’s why they’ve not gotten hardly any of their agenda passed.

Their best hope of avoiding a wipeout is to run against Republicans’ overturning of Roe v. Wade, which is likely to be extremely unpopular. But it remains to be seen how successful a strategy even that will be.

From Reagan on, every Republican presidential administration has overseen massive deficit increases, whereas every Democratic presidential administration has overseen deficit reductions.

Republican presidents since Ronald Reagan have pledged to help working-class Americans while raising taxes and lowering tax rates for corporations and the wealthy - ignoring the mountains of evidence that supply-side economics is bad for workers and is only beneficial to the already wealthy.

Unless you're already wealthy and politically connected you have to be experiencing a tremendous amount of cognitive dissonance to vote Republican.
