This is an interesting bit of history of which I was unaware.

The union troops acted in a savage manner, and the officers gave immoral commands.  On the other hand, Mr. Hinson certainly lived a dark and sad existence for much of his life.

But he was certainly an interesting and capable man, able to live long times in isolation.

I learned today at AR15.com was down, and currently if you go to their site you get their backup website.

Ammoland gives a little more detail.

AR15.com Backup Site [is now] Live, Switching to First Amendment Friendly Site Registrar On Monday, January 11, 2021, I received notice from our site registrar that AR15.com had violated their terms of service and that AR15.com would be shut down immediately. The registrar’s decision to de- platform AR15.com was final and no method to appeal was offered.

It remains unclear specifically what content allegedly violated the registrar’s terms of service. However, I am happy to report that we have found a new, First Amendment-friendly site registrar and we have begun the process of transitioning AR15.com to the new registrar. We expect the switchover to take up to 5 days. During that time, our famous “AR15.com” URL will not be usable. Once the switchover is complete, AR15.com will be fully restored to normal function. In the meantime, I welcome freedom lovers and firearm enthusiasts to visit us at our temporary URL: www.ar15-backup.com. We will post on the backup site when the normal AR15.com has been completely restored.  ~ Juan Avila, President & Co-Founder, AR15.com.

I’m just keeping you posted.  These are the initial shots over the bow.  More to come.

Go Daddy (whomever that is) is responsible.  I consider it to be an unwise decision.

Seen.

So says Glenn Beck.  Jim Treacher piles on at Instapundit.  Mark Levin wants the perpetrators to be prosecuted, demands it, screams it at his audience.  There is no end to the parade of “conservatives” joining the chorus of outrage and demands for retribution.

This will be brief, but I must say that as I’ve had time to think about it, I don’t really care what happened in Washington, D.C., except that a good woman perished.  I don’t really care if it was a false flag event, I don’t care what was or wasn’t accomplished.  I wouldn’t care if the capital building had been burned to the ground.  I don’t do business there, and any shutdown of the business of the controllers can’t help but be good for the liberty of America.

But what I do care about is the rank, despicable, repulsive hypocrisy of those who enjoy the liberty bought for them by the blood, sweat, tears, toil, labor and in some cases the lives of better men who risked everything to purchase that independence from tyranny – but then who demand that the very tactics they chose to obtain that independence, absolutely necessary tactics as proven by the fact that the king had dispatched his armies, are never acceptable, bring nothing good, never accomplish anything worthy, and are to be avoided at all costs.

Such were the arguments in the continental congress, with the state of S.C. being the last to concede (because they knew that the Southern port of Charleston would be a foci of any campaign against the colonies and that S.C. would pay a terrible cost).  Those arguments failed even for the delegates from S.C.

Violence against King George didn’t accomplish anything good, until it did, and liberty was purchased and freedom won.  Spare me the moralistic preening, screaming outrages, and demands for justice.  Those demands should have been proffered over the 2020 election fraud rather than the people who rebelled against that national crime.

And if you wish to criticize what happened at the capital, spare me your complaints about the next four years.  I’m not interested in hearing them.  Shut up and take it.  You lost your moral justification with your claims that violence gets you nothing.  Violence brought an end to the Islamic occupation of Europe, where little girls were raped and turned into sex slaves, boys were forced to become Islamic hoodlums, women were raped and then killed, and all of this happened in front of the men who were then tortured and killed.

Your threshold for invoking violence may or may not be the equivalent of mine or anyone else, but don’t tell me that violence gets you nothing and then reach for a gun when a criminal busts in your door to harm your family.

Seen.

It’s magic!  Just like what happened in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan and Arizona.

Funny how this happens.

Via WRSA, this shot should be an important reckoning.
