Who by their ill considered actions, are threatening this man’s home & way of life.
Now I am NOT condoning this man’s actions. But I can understand why this deadly event came about. As shown here, is what happens when you tread on somebodies Sacred Soil. Grumpy

A homeowner who shot dead a council officer on live television has died after being released from prison last October.
Albert Dryden gunned down Harry Collinson in front of journalists when his illegally-built bungalow was due to be demolished in Butsfield, County Durham in 1991.
Dryden served a life sentence until last year but was released and admitted to a care home after suffering a stroke behind bars.
The killer died at his care home aged 77 in County Durham on Saturday having finally shown remorse for the shooting – according to lifelong friend Alex Watson.

Watson, who was leader of the now defunct Derwentside District Council told the Chronicle: ‘I saw Albert a few weeks ago. he couldn’t talk. The man was dying, he had no life.
‘He could nod his head and shake his head. He was frustrated, and very remorseful.
‘Despite what people have said he was remorseful. It is just tragic all round. He never got a chance to say he was sorry, but you could see the remorse in his eyes.’
A former steelworker, Dryden had previously been refused parole, because he had shown had no remorse.
Harry Collinson was enforcing the demolition of Dryden’s illegally-built bungalow when Dryden drew a First World War gun and shot him dead in front of local media on June 20, 1991.
As well as shooting 46-year-old Mr Collinson, he also wounded police officer Stephen Campbell in the buttock and reporter Tony Belmont in the arm.
The showdown with planning officials of the former Derwentside District Council followed a dispute that had gone on for several years.
Dryden built his bungalow in a hollow, because he wrongly thought he would not need planning permission, which the council refused to grant.

Crowds cheer as Albert Dryden is taken to prison
Mr Collinson (right) just before he was shot. His last words were to the TV crew: ‘Can you get a shot of this gun?’
People fleeing the scene in terror after Dryden opened fire with his First World War pistol
Albert Dryden ploughed his redundancy money into the one-acre plot of land, which he called Maryland Close, a few miles from the town of Consett.
He put up two greenhouses, a shed, parked a caravan on the land, and built an archway at the gated entrance.
He also hired a digger and scooped out more than 2,000 tonnes of earth from near the fence with the road and built a partly-sunken bungalow in the resulting hole, forming a screening mound around it.
But Dryden, who wanted to spend his time tinkering with American cars, growing vegetables and keeping livestock, did not have planning permission.
Derwentside District Council – abolished in County Durham’s local government shake-up two years ago – refused to approve the development in a rural area made up of conventional farms.
The council, which was keen to create an environment conducive to tourism, was also worried the bungalow represented a precedent that would unlock the door to other housing on land where it would not normally be permitted.

Dryden lost his planning appeal to keep the bungalow, although the Government inspector who chaired the hearing said some of the other buildings could stay because of the time they had been there.
The wrangle dragged on for several months with the council attempting to reach a compromise that would avoid the need to bulldoze the bungalow.
The last suggestion was that Dryden modify the building and use it for keeping livestock, but he rejected this.
Finally, councillors decided there was no option but demolition, and the date was set for Thursday June 20 1991.
On the day media gathered with Dryden on the land with his friends and supporters.
Dryden had a letter from the Planning Inspectorate, which he had fixed to his gate, indicating no action could be taken until an appeal had been heard.
The letter had given Dryden the belief the council was breaking the law, even though there were no grounds for an appeal.
Harry Collinson came to the gate, looked at the letter and told him it contained nothing to prevent the demolition.
Dryden replied that ‘you might not be around to see the outcome of this disaster’.
Mr Collinson told Dryden he could have time to move things out of the building and he moved to a point in the fence where the bulldozer was to come through.
Dryden went to his caravan and picked up a First World War revolver, strode back to the fence and drew the weapon on Mr Collinson, whose last words were to the TV crew: ‘Can you get a shot of this gun?’
After initially shooting Collinson, Dryden then leapt the fence and shot him again before turning the weapon on the fleeing group.
He shot down the road at police and journalists hastily fleeing and caused the injuries of several others.

Although he had been hoping to hit the council’s solicitor, Mike Dunstan, Dryden instead injured TV reporter Tony Belmont in the arm and PC Stephen Campbell in the backside.
He then returned to where Collinson was lying in a ditch by the perimeter fence and shot him again in the chest and face.
A subsequent search of the property uncovered a large arsenal of weapons including ten handguns, fifteen rifles, three shotguns, and two homemade mortars.
An investigation shortly after the murder revealed Collinson and Dryden had previously enjoyed a friendly relationship, with Collinson regularly visiting him to offer advice.
But Dryden’s increasingly threatening behaviour towards council employees was said to have brought the men into conflict.
Dryden had denied murder but was convicted after a trial and jailed for life at Newcastle Crown Court in 1992.
He was denied parole in 2001 after it was felt he showed little evidence of remorse.
Wilson, last seen in Thailand, is now considered a fugitive by US authorities
:format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/61463757/TNR_STILL_06.0.png)
Defense Distributed founder Cody Wilson — known for his fight with the US government over 3D-printed guns — has been charged with sexually assaulting a minor, according toThe Austin American-Statesman.
The Statesman reports that police filed an arrest warrant for Wilson today in Travis County, Texas, alleging that a girl under 17 years old (the state’s age of consent) said Wilson paid her for sex after meeting on a site called SugarDaddyMeet.com.
The Statesman reports that jail records show Wilson had not been booked as of Wednesday morning, but police had corroborated the story with hotel records and surveillance footage. Wilson did not immediately respond to a phone call requesting comment.
According to the Statesman, Wilson began corresponding with the girl (whose identity has not been revealed) in August under the name “Sanjuro.”
He then revealed his name and described himself as a “big deal,” and the pair allegedly exchanged nude photos before meeting at an Austin coffee shop on August 15th, then returning to a hotel room.
The girl later told a counselor that she had been paid $500 for sex with a 30-year-old man, and the counselor reported the incident to police, who interviewed the girl in late August and identified Wilson from his account profile pictures.
The affidavit for the arrest warrant states that Wilson is charged with second-degree felony sexual assault.

A very detailed affidavit for arrest warrant in Travis County, Texas, alleges 3D printed gun blueprints maker Cody Wilson met a 17-year-old girl through http://SugarDaddyMeet.com , and they had sex in an Austin hotel.
In a press conference Wednesday afternoon, the Austin Police Department stated that Wilson’s last known whereabouts were in Taiwan, where he had skipped a flight back to the United States. “We don’t know why he went to Taiwan, but we do know that he was informed that he was being investigated,” said Commander Troy Officer, according to Ars Technica.
Officer also said that the victim was 16 years old, and that detectives who had interviewed the girl found it unlikely that Wilson would have mistaken her for someone over the age of consent. “If someone mistakes their age, it’d be because she’s younger not older,” he said.
Austin police are now cooperating with US Marshals and international partners to arrest Wilson.
Later on Wednesday evening, the US Marshals Service released a “wanted” posted for Wilson, detailing the charge against him and encouraging people to contact the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force with information about his whereabouts, according to reporter Tony Plohetski for the Austin American-Statesman:

NOW: U.S. Marshals release “wanted” poster for Cody Wilson, maker of so-called 3D guns.
Wilson, who describes himself as a crypto-anarchist, has fought a years-long battle to distribute blueprints for 3D-printed firearms in an attempt to make American gun regulations unenforceable.
His company Defense Distributed developed a working 3D-printed single-shot pistol called the Liberator in 2013, drawing the attention of the State Department, which ordered him to pull the blueprints offline.
Wilson later sued the government, and the case went to a settlement in mid-2018, granting him the right to distribute printable gun files, which he eventually started doing last month via flash drives.
Wilson has also worked on a cryptocurrency project called Dark Wallet and is the creator of Hatreon, a currently defunct crowdfunding platform that supported “alt-right” white nationalists who were kicked off more mainstream funding sites like Patreon.

Okay let me get this right. A Man makes something the Government really does not like. So it does its best to stop him. But the Man puts up one Hell of a fight over it. Right so far?
However the Man then does something really stupid. By letting his little head do his some of his thinking, With a 16 year old Hooker no less.
I am also willing to bet that if she was a 17+ “girl”. There would not be a problem here. I also hope that she gave him a hell of a good ride for his $500. But I kind of doubt it. However that is another story for another day.
So call me Cynical, But here is how I see it so far.
Because of this stupidity. The Feds then sees their chance to nail this Old Boy & make him a guest of the State.
But The man, who has been probably tipped off by somebody. Wisely flees the scene by going to Asia. Before they can introduce him to his cellmate called Bubba & tossing the salad.

ATF Data Undercuts Claim Gun-Controlled Cities Get Guns from Surrounding States
ATF data undercuts claims that criminals in gun-controlled cities are getting the majority of their guns from surrounding states.
The left has long claimed that the failures of gun control in cities like Baltimore or Chicago can be chalked up to lax gun laws in surrounding states. But the ATF’s latest data defeats such claims.
The Baltimore Sun reports that the ATF was asked to trace the origin of 8,600 guns from crime scenes last year. The federal agency was able “to determine where nearly 5,900 of the firearms were sold,” and nearly half of those firearms were purchased in Maryland.
The ATF found that 47 percent of the 5,900 firearms were purchased in Maryland, where “assault weapons” are banned, “high capacity” magazines are banned, and where would-be handgun purchasers are required to submit fingerprints to state police for a registration database.
And Gabby Giffords’ gun control group indicates Maryland has universal background checks for handgun purchases, too.
But even with these gun controls, nearly half the guns identified by the ATF were bought in Maryland.
The ATF also discovered “an average age of 38 for those in possession of the firearms” and they noted that “the firearms were bought an average of 12 years before the crime or reason for the trace.”
The Daily Wire reports that only 15 percent of the guns traced by the ATF originated in Virginia and seven percent originated in Pennsylvania.

The estimable New York Times – “all the news that’s fit to print” – receives a tip and the seriousness of the allegation requires them to trip over their ideological enthusiasm:
In the process they inadvertently reveal the secret of what makes “news” fit to print – it smears their enemies – and reveals the complete news cycle: evaluate stories and uncorroborated reports for ideological impact, print those that fit the narrative, evaluate the backlash, ignore it for the length of time required to circle the Internet, retract only when absolutely necessary, preferably on page 37, and repeat daily.
Oh, and don’t forget to attack Trump for complaining about all the fake news that’s fit to print.
Date drape* – it’s a serious charge.
The professor who shot himself in the arm to protest Trump now says that he did it to protest AR-15s. (Metro Nashville Police Department via Getty Images)
Mark Bird, the professor who shot himself in the arm in a university bathroom in protest of President Donald Trump, now says that he actually did it because he wants to ban AR-15s, among other issues.
What’s the history here?
Bird, a 69-year-old emeritus sociology professor at the College of Southern Nevada, shot himself in the arm on the second day of classes at the college.
After discovering Bird bleeding outside of a bathroom campus, police said that Bird fired the self-inflicted shot to his arm in protest of Trump and his administration’s policies. He had also taped a $100 bill to the bathroom’s mirror for the janitor to apparently compensate for the bloody mess he made inside the facility.
The president of the school’s faculty union issued a statement condemning the way the university handled the incident.
“They never really told the students much about it except that it was resolved on the actual day of the shooting,” Robert Manis told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in a statement.
“When you don’t give the full details, then rumors go crazy. It’s unfortunate because it made the students and faculty very afraid and allowed rumors to proliferate.”
Police charged Bird with “discharging a gun within a prohibited structure, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and possessing a dangerous weapon on school property.”
Bird was sent to the Clark County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond and has also been banned from returning to the campus.
What’s happening now?
Bird has apologized for the incident, and in letters obtained by Blue Lives Matter has said that he has myriad concerns about gun control, the president, malnutrition, and pollution.
One such letter read:
I sincerely apologize for my behavior today. I was motivated by multiple reasons. A major reason is, derivative of the following October 20, 2017 CBS news story, the Earth had roughly 100 million malnutrition and pollution deaths in the past decade — and the Earth is on a course for at least another 100 million such deaths in the next decade. One hundred million deaths are more than all the military and civilian deaths of [World War II].
A less significant motivation relates to the October 1, 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting from the Mandalay Hotel that killed 58 people. Since this incident, there has been no national legislation banning bump stocks, banning civilian ownership of AR-15 type assault weapons, and the passage of universal gun background checks legislation. Apparently it is about as easy to buy an AR-15 as a 2-shot [D]erringer.
I have sent a longer essay on my motivations to Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson and others.
Bird sent the above letter to the school’s president, Federico Zaragoza, and its vice president, Margo Martin.
According to the outlet, police discovered a .22 Derringer two-shot pistol at the scene.

Arizona -(Ammoland.com)- A firearm turn-in event is scheduled in New Jersey for 22 September 2018. The term “buyback” is an Orwellian propaganda word. The government cannot ‘buyback” something it never owned before.
These events have been fading away in most of the United States. In most of the country, private gun buyers attend these events and purchase expensive firearms at a higher price than the event offers.
This destroys the propaganda value of the event. It shows that guns are a valuable property that many law-abiding citizens find desirable and useful.
In states that have either outlawed private sales or made them very cumbersome, such as New Jersey and California, gun turn-in events still have some propaganda value. From courierpostonline.com:
Participants are permitted to turn in up to three guns each, no questions asked, and do not have to be residents of Burlington or Mercer counties. Ammunition is not accepted and firearms dealers are not allowed to participate in the buyback.
The county agencies are offering cash payments $250 for assault rifles, $150 for handguns, $100 for a rifle or shotgun, and $20 for an inoperable firearm.
The Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office and the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office will host a regional gun buyback event on September 22, 2018 from 8am-4pm.
The organizers of the event in Burlington County have put some further restrictions on the event to preserve its propaganda value.
Notice only residents may turn in firearms, even though they will not ask for ID. In fact, they claim no questions will be asked.
They say that firearm dealers will not be allowed to participate. If they are not asking questions, how will they know who is a dealer and who is not?
They limit the number of firearms turned in to three per person.
At such an event I would be leery of claims of anonymity. New Jersey firearms laws are multitudinous and penalties are severe.
If the authorities decided to renege on the promises of “no ID” and “no questions” who is going to hold them to account? Could a person file a lawsuit for false arrest? Remember, law enforcement officers are allowed to run sting operations, and to lie to suspects in order to obtain convictions.
It will be interesting to see what is turned in at this event. It would be informative if an activist could video most of it, or at least the interesting parts.
Six circuits have ruled it is a First Amendment right to video public officials in the performance of their public duties. New Jersey is in the third circuit, which has upheld the First Amendment right to record video. Only the Eighth Circuit has ruled the public does not have a right to video public officials on public property.
It might be sad to see a classic Webley pistol (commonly bringing $500- $1,000 on the collectors market, be turned in to be destroyed for a mere $150.
There have been many collectible, historical, and lovely items turned in for destruction.
Most of the firearms turned in at these events are from people who inherited the firearms, know nothing about them, and are not interested in finding out how much they are actually worth.
It is common to see widows effectively tricked out of hundreds of dollars of value.

Airline Passenger Advocacy Group Calls for Ban on Ammunition in Checked Bags
U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- An airline passenger organization used the anniversary 9/11 to push for new regulations that would ban ammunition in checked luggage.
FlyersRights.org, which claims to be the largest US airline passenger organization with 40,000 members called on Trump to close the “ammunition loophole.” The group claims that ammunition in checked bags could lead to more 9/11 style attacks in the future.
During flights, checked bags are not accessible to passengers on planes. The 9/11 terrorists used box cutters to take over the airplanes. The Al-Qaeda members used the aircraft to attack the World Trade Center Twin Towers, and the Pentagon. Passengers resisted the hijacking of a third plane that crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
“We are alarmed that the Trump Administration is hiding and failing to correct past inadequacies and compounding them by pursuing newly misguided policies,” said Paul Hudson, President of FlyersRights.org. “Ignoring and hiding a rulemaking petition filed by FlyersRights.org in 2017 to fix the ammunition loophole that allows and even encourages carrying of guns and ammunition with no added security in checked baggage.”
The advocacy group pointed to the shooting in January 2017 at the Fort Lauderdale airport in the baggage claim area of Terminal 2. Esteban Santiago-Ruiz, an ISIS influenced combat veteran, suffering from schizophrenia shot and killed five people and wounded six others. Santiago-Ruiz used a Walther PPS 9mm semi-automatic pistol.
FlyersRights.org falsely claims that Santiago-Ruiz used an automatic firearm in the attack and further took issue with the fact that the TSA didn’t ban firearms and ammunition together in bags the days after the rampage. They even claimed that the TSA was encouraging people to bring guns in their checked bags.
The group further calls on the Trump administration and the TSA to implement additional security measures for people flying with guns. At the same time, FlyersRights.org wants to end pat downs by TSA agents on transgendered flyers because such pat downs are instilling fear in these passengers.
The flyers group believes that by making the rules to flying with firearms publicly available, the TSA is encouraging future mass shootings. FlyersRights.org did not list how commercial airline passengers would find out the rules to flying with guns and ammunition if the TSA did not make the information public.
Currently, passengers flying with guns and ammunition have to check their firearms in a TSA approved lockable case. The flyer has to declare their guns at the airline counter with the airline representatives. Ammunition must also be in a locked case in the original box. The traveler must ensure the checked firearms are not loaded.
The agent will not mark the luggage carrying the firearms. This policy is to reduce the chance of a targeted theft by baggage handlers, or other people at the airport. FlyersRights.org would change this effective policy.
FlyersRights.org accused the TSA of “dangerous aviation security policies.” The group used examples of attacks in Europe, which are not under TSA control. At the same time, the group is calling for the end of policies that are not in use in Europe in other places around the world.
Paul Hudson formed FlyersRights.org in 2015 to fight for legroom on flights and fight airline policies that lead to flight delays. The group then morphed to battle against knives on flights.
AmmoLand reached out to FlyersRights.org for comment, but our request went unanswered.
