Yahoo! Sports
reports an AP story concerning two NBA players who, along with their
families, were victims of home invasion robberies. "Two hulking NBA
stars were bound with duct tape and robbed of cash and jewelry by
masked gunmen in separate holdups that have Chicago-area detectives
wondering whether someone is targeting professional athletes. New York
Knicks forward Eddy Curry -- 6-foot-11, 285 pounds -- was tied up along
with his wife and an employee at his mansion in suburban Burr Ridge on
Saturday. Miami Heat forward Antoine Walker, who is 6-foot-9, 245
pounds, was similarly robbed along with a relative at his $4 million
townhouse in Chicago's exclusive River North section on July 10."
Wait
a minute?! Chicago is a gun free paradise!!! How could these incidents
have taken place? This story must be false! It must be some kind of
Daley-Bloomberg plot to continue their crusade to disarm you.
The
end of the story has a little nugget of information not often provided
in other stories about guns. Probably because the reaction felt by the
victim may lead to the understanding that you must take responsibility
for your own defense, as the police may not arrive in time when you
need them. "Curry's agent Lamont Carter said Curry had no immediate
plans to return to his 'dream house.' 'He feels violated,' Carter said.
'He's relieved and happy that his family's OK. He's just relieved to be
living.' Walker's robbery was so traumatic that the three-time All-Star
said he was not sure if he could ever return home. 'I don't feel safe,'
he told reporters shortly afterward. 'I feel violated a little bit. And
now it's all over the news, so everybody knows where I live. I think it
would be best for me to move on.'"
Amazing, isn't it? This man,
described as a hulking NBA star, is afraid to be in his own home
because armed men invaded it! If a hulking NBA star is afraid, how much
more would a single woman or an elderly couple or a disabled person
feel in that situation? Yet, there are those of that ilk, such as
Mayors Daley and Bloomberg who desire that all of us be in that
situation. Bound up and at the mercy of criminals. These NBA players
had no other recourse except to allow criminals to bind them, breaking
one of the most important rules about personal safety: do not let
someone restrain you. Many times that leads to being killed. Never let
someone do that, fight back. If you're in a public place, never be led
out into a private place. Once the players and their families were
bound, they were dead. Dead, if the robbers had wanted it that way.
Fortunately, they did not.
Yet, so many of our betters demand
that we submit to such criminal activity. They, of course, don't follow
their own disarmament plans. They allow themselves to be armed or have
armed bodyguards, you however, must submit to criminals. You must give
up your life instead of your property. After all, to most of those who
rule, you are not worth saving anyway. You went to the wrong schools,
you have an imaginary friend who you visit on Saturday or Sunday, your
carbon footprint is hurting the planet. No, better that you be disarmed
and criminals run rampant. That way, the gun grabbers can be the "man
on horseback," saving society from itself, while also giving away its
freedom to the man on the white stallion.
