Based on some recent incidents, let me reiterate: If you are the owner of a photo that appears on this site and wish it removed, you don’t need to get all legal and send threatening letters and takedown notices; just email me with the photo’s URL or leave a comment on the offending post and I will gladly remove it.

You’re a bad man. You’re a very bad man!
Irreverent, independent, and often snarky partnered married gay boomer and doggie dad who is tired of moral pontification by hypocritical conservative assholes and hate filled religious bigots.
This blog is NSFW and intended for adults only.
It may contain unapologetically liberal diatribes and photos of naked men, either alone or together, doing things that may cause inexplicable erections among certain sanctimonious anti-gay Republican congressmen. In addition to my personal photography, images displayed here have been pulled from the internet.
When I heard that news today, “broken” by a reporter who uncovered that fact, talking to law enforcement and others who were knowledgeable of the situation and guns, I was a bit taken aback by it. IF the aged AR-15 style gun is that bad, it should be outlawed for any non-military use . . . period. The law enforcement people talked on promise of anonyminity, but with no knowledge of what was on the other side of that classroom door, they wanted to wait for the swat team to arrive (from 60 miles away).
It was also mentioned that the Uvalde police had vests which would resist an AR-15 bullet, but the ones they had on would not. So, the whole deal caught them unprepared, but nobody apparently went back to get a better vest to put on, for some reason.
In any regimented, defined leader situation, the “rank and file” are not qualified to make decisions, even if they might go against what their “leader” might say or do OR be better than what their leader advocates for. Apparently no “suggestions” or “possible proposals” of going back for the better vests. So they sat as kids died.
