We’re not talking high school students either…
Sounds like a fine upstanding government employee doesn’t it? I wish I could come up with something better, but this just makes me sick.
State Sponsored Criminal #446: Robert B. Rennie
Because working for the government means you’re some how special.
This isn’t the first wolf on the count that operated like this.
State Sponsored Criminal #390: Todd L. Smith
Because when trying to manipulate someone, especially a younger person, it’s better to be in a position of trust and power.
Considering he was fired from his job immediately and is currently awaiting trial it is hard for me to call him a full criminal since he’s not going to get away with it. That was until the following.
Grubbs was a School Resource Officer at Liberty High School.
He was responsible for watching out and protecting those kids. Yet he was a predator. A predator put there at the command of the state, provided with the perfect cover to be browsing for victims.
State Sponsored Criminal Count: 143 – Ernest William Grubbs
Because what better way to hide as a child predator than in plain sight and have the state put you next to your prey.

Prosecutors declined to charge him since the age of consent is 16 in the state of Washington. Worth note however is this statement from the police chief.
Good on the chief for doing the right thing for the right reasons. As the chief is doing the right thing, barring some how the appeal being accepted, I think this is the best possible outcome in this case. Though it does beg the question, what would have happened had it been a teacher, would the teacher be prosecuted?
State Sponsored Criminal Count Honorable Mention: Brian Nelson
Because there is no correlation between the law and justice which means as a cop you can do anything morally or ethically questionable. That is unless you chief actually has a conscience and a pair of stones.
What was the search for I hear you cry? Well here’s yet another example of the abysmal failure of zero tolerance.
(Emphasis mine). But wait, why didn’t they just use metal detectors to try and find the “weapon of mass destruction”?
So let me get this straight, these officers, 8 of them, 6 male 2 female, felt it was necessary to pat down all the students even after they wanded them with a metal detector. A girl so young that she’s probably as flat as a wall and wouldn’t have anyplace to hide anything much less a firearm. None of the school administrators said a damn thing because they “trust” the police without question.
Remember though, beyond the taxpayer having to pay for the abuses by these officers nothing will happen to them thanks to the wonders of qualified immunity.
Every last one of those officers and school administrators should be fired. Training is being used as an excuse to hide a lack of common sense and negligence.
State Sponsored Criminal Count: 181 These 8 are all Does since they weren’t listed. Again if you find them send them to me.
Because as an officer every trusts you so you can do whatever the hell you want despite common sense and logic dictating otherwise. If someone complains, the state will cover your ass.
So I joined Forest River Forums recently after I bought a fifth wheel with the kiddo in mind and Boomershoot. You can encounter all 4 seasons in the weekend and many times 3 of them in one day with a rapid swing. It’s often cold and windy and well a 7 month old kid in that environment isn’t going to be fun.
TMW and Minnie Me with the new Fifth Wheel
So thought, get a bug out vehicle that we can use elsewhere. Well I’m new to the RV thing so I begin doing what I do and started sucking up every last piece of information on the topic and finding locations that would be helpful for future reference.
I joined Forest River Forums for the following reasons:
That seems like a great way to narrow down noise when dealing with a problem or issue. So I do the one thing I never do and join a forum. Yeah we will see why I hate forums here shortly. I joined shortly after pulling the trigger October 4th.
Come November 10th, I was given this garbage in my inbox.
PM I got from a busy body.
So I don’t remember what I had in my signature. Most likely it was either this quote from Franklin:
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Or this one from Captain America:
Doesn’t matter what the press says. Doesn’t matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right.
When the ob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of Truth and tell the whole world, you move.
Don’t remember, I was off Forest River Forums for a while and didn’t notice that PM until December 22nd. Well after seeing the message and then noticing my sig is different, I was less than pleased. Petty tyrants gotta tyrant. This is their forum and they can do whatever they want.
This is my blog and well they decided to be so fucking petty I have no need to hide any of this anymore instead feel it better to lay out the facts of exactly what transpired. I fired off a curt reply.
So I just noticed this PM tonight. Since you seem to be this type of individual, here’s your trigger warning.
First, let me say this is your site and you’re free to do whatever the hell you want. I find it interesting though that I must censor the link to my blog though in the about me page. I can understand limiting commentary in sig lines, but if someone looks me up so what? They’re free to leave my website, just as I’m free to skip over threads I don’t care about.
If they want to get their panties in a ruffle well I’m not going to be the one to do it in a public forum. However while I understand your concern about someone not expressing such restraint you feel it necessary to restrain me. Petty tyrants gotta tyrant.
But here’s one for you. You want to be a resource for RVer’s and traveling with firearms can be a long legal nightmare. But we can’t have people asking questions about how to do that now can we? Because CONTROVERSY! We can’t have someone discover from looking in someone’s profile that they might be able to answer the question outside of the forum whereby the forum escapes their inclusion in a dreaded “controversial” subject.
We’re talking about the link to my blog as provided in my profile on the about me page. We can’t have someone discover from looking in someone’s profile that they might be able to answer the question outside of the forum whereby the forum escapes their inclusion in a dreaded “controversial” subject. You have quite literally said now I’m not welcome because “I am controversial” merely by my presence and who I am outside of this forum. Because that is my personal website. If you don’t like the fact that someone might have something controversial in their about me profiles, delete the url for everyone. Make it your safe space.
I’d like to point out there wasn’t a lick of controversy or issue until you created one. So with that, so long. I’d rather be some place where I feel welcome and not have to suppress my profile about who I am.
Additionally, I find it ironic that you bitch about my blog when I’ve had a couple people contact me after surfing through the forums. They contacted me to ask me RVing questions and didn’t want to join the forum, largely because of limited scope and it was regarding my specific rig and configuration, coupled with the fact they dislike forums. We’ll we see why, not to mention for a supposed resource to help people you seem more than happy to kill off some of the ways it helps.
I thought long and hard before joining this forum because honestly, I find most forums an absolute waste because petty shit drives out people who would be good contributors. I can see now that deep down this place is no exception.
TL;DR: Go fuck yourself you petty, hypocritical, tyrants. I’m out, I don’t need you or your generation of drama because of a fucking link to my blog contained within my profile. You either welcome me or you don’t. If someone else wants to get pissy because of who I am outside of this site, that’s their fucking problem; NOT MINE.
In hindsight I noticed a copy paste reorder issue but it still works. After that I didn’t goto Forest River Forums.
Yesterday I searched for something and without looking clicked the link and this greeted me.
And I’ve been banned.
How’s that for awesome right? Petty tyrant shows himself as a petty tyrant wielding the only hammer he’s got. But wait, it gets better. After seeing I am now banned, indefinitely, I decided to check my profile info. Lets look at my contact page.
Look, my URL is still there…
So lets ignore the signature thing, because honestly while it’s annoying it’s not the serious transgression here. The transgression here is that the contact info for me regarding my homepage was an “issue”. Most entertainingly you then see this below:
Only the hobbies you approve of.
So it appears that my polite behavior within the forum not to mention my intelligence regarding some of the subjects didn’t matter because my hobbies and interests didn’t align with their world view.
I know for a fact at most two moderators were involved with my ban, you can see only two reviewed my profile, and most likely it was this single moderator who had his panties in a bunch because how dare you have a hobby I disagree with.
Want the icing on the cake though? I have had people contact me through my profile page looking for answers to questions. They were looking at getting a similar trailer and didn’t want to join Forest River Forums. Smart decision that, petty tyrant has to tyrant and it’s best just to avoid their drama.
What’s entertaining is they trotted all this out and for what? A link to my personal blog about what I do outside of my RV and outside Forest River Forums. They cannot actually damage me or even really prevent me from reading the forum. It’s easy to delete cookies, change IP addresses, and any host of other things. Hell, I could create another profile right now and be back on and they wouldn’t know who it is. In other words, you can’t actually stop me, all you can be is a nuisance. It’s merely my ethical and moral stance that keeps me from burning your house down with the lemon.

Anyone involved in this shit show is free to contact me through the contact page or to leave a comment while comments are open. Note unlike a petty tyrant, it takes a lot for me to swing the ban hammer, even in a public space, and I’ll be leaving what you write for the world to see.
This post could be alternatively titled, why Forest River Forums sucks and you shouldn’t waste your time.
In light of Columbine, people are more aware and pay more attention to the rumors and threats that float around about possible school shootings, especially among high school aged students. In St. Tammany, a potential Columbine redux was stopped before it could be executed, thanks to aware citizens who took the threats seriously. The threats were credible to start with, not just rumors, as going off half-cocked could cause the harassment of the innocent or catching the guilty too early could make them look innocent.
Last week, deputies with the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested three 15-year-old Lakeshore High School students, each accused of plotting a shooting rampage on the first day of school, scheduled for tomorrow. The teens, two from Lacombe and one from Mandeville, allegedly were part of a group called “Day Zero” that both targeted specific students on the LHS campus and talked of random shooting.
We are very fortunate this group’s threats were taken seriously. Had they not been, the 2011-12 school year could have begun with a tragedy at the parish’s newest high school.
Remember, criminals are nondiscriminatory. There is no area that is exempt and no magical zone is safe, it’s just like Pacific Playland.
Please note, both incidents occurred in a “gun free zone”.
Gun Free ≠ Safe
This made me all sorts of angry:
Savannah then showed agents a doctor’s
note explaining that the sensitive insulin pump should not go through
the body scanner. She says she was told to go through it anyway. “When
someone in a position of authority tells you it is – you think that its
right. So, I said, Are you sure I can go through with the pump? It’s not
going to hurt the pump? And she said no, no you’re fine.”
I won’t fault the girl here. She has probably been told over and over to trust the government and do what you’re told. She has been drilled to the point where she ignored what her doctor said and did what a high school drop out that was too stupid to get a job anyplace else said.
Unsurprisingly it destroyed her insulin pump. Walking into one of those things with electronic equipment is down right dangerous. Ionizing radiation can cause single event upsets in the control systems of the medical equipment. Non-ionizing radiation can have the effect of an EMP causing excessive voltages in circuits. If the device is improperly shielded it will destroy components. Memory devices can also suffer a single event upset.
I don’t know which of these incidents occurred, my suspicion is the second. I will say this girl is very lucky she is not dead or hospitalized as a SEU could have resulted in an excess or incorrect dosage being administered. Usually devices can survive one safely, however multiple failures were probably induced simultaneously
This is an expensive lesson and one that everyone needs to heed. Those who work for the TSA are the lowest common denominator of our society. That’s why it’s full of child molesters, sexual deviants, and thieves. One should not do what they say blindly or without forethought. Remember these people do not care about you or what happens to you. If they could they’d just treat you like cattle more than they already do.
As I’ve said before, make their lives hell. Sure some will be too stupid to understand but eventually you’ll wear them down. On that same note, as you see those responsible for bringing this plague upon us, make their lives hell as well. They are elected representatives and obviously they failed at their job.
Burning effigies should work nicely.
