It May Be Time To Vacate The Planet...

 ...when and if a Chicago security guard, who allegedly shot a man three times over a dispute about him not wearing a "Covid mask", is found not guilty based upon his defense lawyer's claim he shot the man in self defense (once while the victim was standing and two times after he fled and had already fallen to the ground) because he was not wearing a mask and posed a threat to others! 

 

As I seem to recall, you shoot to stop and the guy was stopped as he had fallen to the ground after the first shot. Also, except under very limited circumstances, a threat of death or serious bodily injury must be imminent for someone to shoot another person in self defense; I don't see how imminence was present. One more thing, the guard is allegedly a four (4) time convicted felon, twice convicted of sexual crimes against children, who was forbidden by law from carrying firearms. More at the source.

 

Honestly folks, if this guy's defense is successful based on that claim, well it really may be time to leave the planet. Hopefully the guy he shot will recover fully and will sue the company that hired the guy as a guard with that criminal record. In defense of the alleged shooter, he claimed he was not the guy with the sexual assault against children convictions; maybe he is and maybe he is not but he reportedly admitted to the cops he shot the guy. As for his defense of self-defense though, it should be laughed out of court and his lawyer disbarred in my opinion!

Grandpa Kitchen

Over the past weekend, I was in Frisco, TX visiting Walter, a friend of my son. My son Brendan was there too. Brendan tuned into Grandpa Kitchen on YouTube and played it on Walter's huge, I think, 75" screen TV. It was a cooking channel with an amusing twist (to many but not all the videos) and was quite informative as to just how many dishes they make in India that contain red chili powder! I highly recommend watching videos at this YouTube channel and mind you many of the things they prepare are not Indian cuisine:

Many of the recipes look easy to prepare, the prepared dishes often look mouthwatering and if you subscribe to the channel you are helping the creators not only to make some money but apparently also to donate to charity and to feed orphaned children.

 

This is Grandpa's favorite recipe, at least it was at the time he did this video. My mouth is watering:

 

I suppose I should note that sadly, Grandpa is gone now but the channel continues with new videos thanks to his grandchildren. Give it a look see, you may find yourself thinking of cooking up a dish or three and of eating somethings you have never tried before!

 

My son has turned me on and tuned me in to some really excellent YouTube channels; how he finds them is a mystery to me.

 

All the best,
