Your host John Correia, a cop adjacent gun guy, provides in these daily reviews of mayhem, a cop’s eye view of aggression, within a legal framework. He addresses cops and private individuals, and sends enough mixed class of defender messages to make my cynical eye twinkle. He informs us that police are “protected individuals,” and that any violent act against them, even in self defense against wrongful arrest, will be punished. Off handed, in numerous instances, all the while beating the pro-cop drums, John lets you know that the law is designed for law officers, not for us. They are the protected class, putting the lie to every “protect and serve” banner. John sticks with all of the “good guy” “bad guy” BS, with the cop always the “good guy,” but he does it with a twinkle in his eye.
I really love his reviews of the South American off duty cop shootings of thugs. The fire discipline is usually criticized, but never the courage of these government gun thugs, slaughtering violent criminals caught in the act robbing people at gunpoint!
At some point, when I was writing Thriving in Bad Places on the SingleTravelDude website, John had a good word to say about something I had written. I look so forward to staying with Matt for many reasons. But the guilty pleasure associated with this mountaintop location, is watching skinny legged twerps with guns doing home invasions, robberies, carjackings, motor cycle robberies and the like and then seeing them get gunned down and taking “the asphalt temperature challenge!” Sometimes, it is the apartment floor temperature challenge, or side walk, or tile floor.
I mostly enjoy the violence. But, the advice, including unarmed self-defense advice, avoidance and awareness, down to particulars of handgun usage in violent encounters, is very useful. I’m not a gun guy. But this is information I can use to write gun-using characters more realistically. In some 50 videos, I have not heard him advise actions or methods in my area of experience that were poorly thought out or inaccurate. Since his main thing, as a former uniformed, gun-carrying “protected individual,” is hand gun usage, I assume that his advice there is accurate, especialy if he can get everything right in my department.
For entertainment or preparedness information, I recommend this version of Pig TV. It is always good for we who have the boot heel of The State upon our necks to view things from the perspective of those “Good Guys,” wearing those boots, dedicated to curtailing our freedoms and punishing our attempts to defend ourselves in the hunting ground cultivated by their evil masters, to cull and control us “bad guys,” who don’t have a badge.
John, thank you for the hours of laughs and the practical food for thought.
