If memory serves me the average gun shot person that ends up on the pathologist table, was shot twice. Two shots are enough to kill a person. Yes you can make a case for shooting more than twice, but the evidence is clear, two shots.
Now, most police officers are armed with automatic pistols, loaded with a twenty round-magazine, and carry another two twenty-round magazines, so they dont run out. They usually have a shotgun in the trunk and some even have AR15s.
They have a radio for backup, and in fact should not get into a fire-fight out in public streets unless the shooter is doing like wise. Doing so endangers the public and can make things worse if an innocent child is mortally wounded. This is especially true when white officers shoot black people.
Seven shots are excessive under any circumstances given the science. It is especially unnecessary when the person being arrested is unarmed. The officers have mace, they have teasers, they have a baton, they have choke holds, these are suppose to be used when executing an arrest, the pistol is there to defend their own lives.
If the officers life is in danger, by a gang, people with automatic weapons, then he is allowed to draw his gun in self-defense. He can also withdraw a safe distance and wait for help, before triggering a fire-fight in the middle of public streets.
So should the grand jury indict the white police officer in Ferguson, absolutely. He has no business carrying a gun, and he is unable to do what he is paid to do, to protect and to serve.
That white officer BTW is a dead man in the town of Ferguson. The citizens of that community can demand his termination and can put a reward on his head.
The black teenager's guilt or innocence is irrelevant, since the officer acted as judge, jury and executioner.
Obviously, he has paid a great price for any crime he may have committed.

Presidente Obama
Hoy le aviso que su posicion, tocante los imigrantes, no la puedo soportar. Le pido que no considere este hecho porque resultara en la division de nuestra nacion.
Yes Mr. President I am an American of Mexican decent and have family in Mexico still. My Mom was born in Mexico as was my sister a fact she was not aware of until she was an adult looking for a job.
But my sister didnt even know about ¨Cinco de Mayo¨, or the revolution, or the history of Mexico. She was an American in Spirit, in ideology, she knew American history. For the fourth of July she would use her red, white and blue crutches. She was dark complected, about your color, she had long thick black hair, but her sisters were blond and blue eyed.
Her sisters did not speak English, they only had one phrase memorized, ¨American¨, and this was all they needed to get across. It was also assumed that all black people were American. So I feel that I know a little about immigration. Even recently, the DPS, would deny me a license until I presented my Social Security Card. As a Vietnam vet, a veteran of the Cold War, a veteran of the Middle East war. Now these acts cause me to anger and to have visions of shooting people, but for the medications, I remain in a state of calm.
My proximity to the border has allowed me to live with the many after effects of immigration policy.
I feel that if you give amnesty to people you will loose the country, you will loose me, this is a deal breaker and I road I will not and cannot follow.
In Mexico city there is a JC Penny, but only rich people are allowed to shop there.
The poor people are not allowed entry. The employees are in the lower class and these are their policies. Oh I have run into these people on our side of the border and they remain their pompous self. Of course I had no problem telling them to get fucked.
When rich Mexican are given citizenship, they keep their Mexican passports, they come over with their hired help. On Friday's, when they go home, they take the bus and carry bags of free junk that is given to them in lieu of pay, they cry all the way to the bridge.
It is true that some of these kids were brought here by illegal parents, but you should have some goals, even if they dont. Send the parents back, keep the kids, and give them some rules. Finish high school in three years, .... give them long term visas too until they prove themselves. Insist on excellence in education, keep the top twenty percent, those that will be able to make a living before breaking the bank. Pay for higher education only for those degrees that will have an ROI.
Dont pay for degrees in social work, for masters in nursing, for degrees in Chicano studies. Dont pay for sports degrees, basking weaving and things like that. Demand excellence because that is what we deserve.
You want to see Mexico, go to LA, leave the security at home. There they take down the American Flag and put up the Mexican flag, they believe that California is a lost Mexican state. These are the high school students.
We are talking about people that refuse to speak English and have deep feelings of entitlements.
We have big problems with the Muslims .... they want to kill us. Send them back! We dont need people running around in their burkas, we dont need people who are force fed the Koran. We dont need people that cant read and write.
Thank you,

Berry Smoothie Readi-Cat 2
It isnt something good to eat, its contrast media, and it is given to patients. It is a contrast media given to people every day before they take the fancy xray, CT. The chalk, Barium Sulfate, coats the stomach wall and the intestines to make them easier to see.
This one in particular is made by EZEM in Canada. Tel: 1-516-333-8230, 1800-544-4624. I bring this to your attention because we the low life in this country are not allowed to get our Prescriptions from Canada at a reduced price because, according to the food and drug administration, they cannot guarantee the quality!
But it appears that that is a lie, fraud, by the FDA on the American Taxpayer.
Here is the clencher, by treaty the companies dont pay taxes on this import, but the American consumer does. In short they are sticking it to you.
And this is why you need Obama care. America are you really going to let a bunch of old guys that get free health care from the American people, deny you access to health care.
Get your guns, they are robbing you, dont take it in the ass.

New Sherrif in Town
The thing I've always liked about O is that he is constantly working to improve our plight. So now he is dead smack in the middle of our educational health.
There is a new sheriff in town and he is O! It is high noon and he has drawn his pen and sign the in state tuition for all vets.
This means if you are a veteran with 90 days minimum active duty, you have a GI bill that requires all fifty states to charge you in state tuition. You have a GI bill that you can transfer to your kids.
Oh I know that many a GI lacks the academic confidence to attended a university, they dont feel they are smart enough. But they have trade schools. You can be a mechanic, gas or diesel engine, airplanes. You can be certified in Air conditioning and refrigeration, electricians, these guys make a good living, plumber. You can be a carpenter, make furniture, build homes, do roofs. There is just no limit. You can be a silversmith,
May the force be with you! Viva O! Fastest pen in the West.

The Texas Constitution
I bought a copy of the Texas Constitution and what a disappointment. I dont know who wrote it but any teacher would have given him an F. To think that such an important document is the basic plan of Government for Texas is incomprehensible. The content, the law is so poorly written, I would not doubt it if the Bushes are up to their necks in this. It is embarrassing, and not a document worthy of Texas. You will read more about this in the coming days.
The Key
I have a key now! This is the key on my wheels and its suppose to make it hard for criminals to steal the wheels on my truck. Up until today I thought it looked more like a regular key, now I know that it looks like part of a ratchet set.
The interesting thing is that it had gone missing or was never in the truck when I bought it. So if I have a flat tire, I had no way of removing the tire and installing the good tire. Now the rims attached to the tires are very expensive and sometimes the thief steels you tire, because his are worn or because he likes your rims.
It is not unusual in America to find your car up on blocks. It isnt the car owners that steal the wheels, its the people who have access to the car that steal the Keys. The mechanic's, the car wash, the car dealership, this are the people that steal them, the owner hasnt a clue.
Obviously, our useless government doesnt know or they would have passed a law to criminalize possession of such a key unless they own the wheels requiring such a key. The criminals can usually be found in some bar, speaking in a low voice, and recruiting a team to take the tires, a conspiracy. They need a truck or RV, a driver, four guys one for each wheel, the bricks to raise the wheels, the jacks, and yes the key.
This thief's are DWI, the lookout is the sixth guy and he is on the phone. They probably have to practice like the race car mechanics. If they steal four wheels, that could be $1600 or $5000 dollars.
Im sure our police are on top of this. Flag a cop down and thank them for the great job they are doing.

Accountability
Among the words that determine a professional is the word ¨accountability¨. This means dont blame others, blame yourself, determine the problem, find the solution.
That means that you cant blame the hospital for not training you, you cant blame them for any interference with your duty, which is to provide nursing care without excuses. You are licensed to protect the public, not just in Texas, but anywhere you nurse.
You are not allowed to fail, to scream or cry in desperation, the health of the nation is the burden you chose to carry. You did not agree to carry half or one quarter, but all of it.
Years back our hospital decided to bring in renal transplants, they bought themselves a doctor, hired the experienced nursing supervisor, and then went crazy with the inservices. I suspected the doctor was an idiot from the get go, he could not articulate to the class that spouse-to-spouse transplants were not ideal because sex caused the presence of antibodies. He couldnt do do it because the class had to many female nurses! He was morally incapable of providing the science needed for the successful start of the program.
But it was worse, the first patient went to surgery and he could not find the renal artery. This was telecommunicated immediately to all nurses in the hospital. He was an incompetent doctor and surgeon, yet here he was in the city of El Paso, impersonating a doctor.
That was the end of the program! Renal transplants would have to wait and what the hell, we still had dialysis and a dose of epopoetin was about a thousand dollars. It wasnt like we were not making money. Finally we bought ourselves another renal surgeon, but this time, no training, no specially trained nurses and an ICU that only staffed one-to-one, on the open hearts.
A new renal transplant is labor intensive, just keeping track of the urine output is a task that requires a lot of attention. Why? Because before the patient leaves the OR, a max dose of diuretics is administered to prime the new kidney, so the fluid administration is tricky, and sutures can and do fail, the urine will leak through the suture line, this is a critical patient.
You will not get relief from Nursing MGMT, they get bonuses for keeping staff low, You wont get relief from Medicare .... they have no clue. If there is no relief you leave, you dont play chicken with a persons life.
When Aids caught us, the nurses refused to take care of the patient, the nursing assistants refused to go into the room. The trays were put into the anti room and left there. It took time to get the nursing staff to commit. Time magazine was partially to blame for this. The were to moral to use the word semen in their publication, so they said body fluids. It was this false reliance on external publications that fed the news and the nursing population's hysteria.
The Texas legislature would not provide relief, because the hospitals bribed them. The hospital corporations are profit machines, they have no heart, and they will not change their focus from profit to a national crisis just because one person shows up at the ER. If they dont have insurance they walk.
To this end many nurses took up the cause for safe nurse patient ratios. Among these was a woman, a nurse much loved and admired, who was responsible for establishing ¨Texas United Registered Nurses¨ an organization whose sole purpose was ¨safe nurse patient ratios¨. We lost the fight and Mary Lou could not live with this defeat, she took her own life and is buried in Austin.
We lost because the nurses would not step up to the plate.
RIP Mary.
