All quiet at Michael Bryant's No Gun No Funeral
Glancing over at Michael Bryant's No Gun No Funeral website, I see things are quiet. They've been quiet for quite some time.
Search engines have a lot of web to cover. Ethical web sites will give Google, Yahoo, and the others an idea of how often to visit in a number of ways. The classic method is the revisit directive found in the header of each page:
The fact is, though, that widespread abuse this directive means it is just about universally ignored. The funny thing about ignored tags, though, is that once they've fallen out of favour, the abuse stops. Some time after that, the search engines might start reading them again.
I don't know if that is true with the revisit-after directive -- I suspect it is still being ignored -- but when I do see it being used, especially on a non-spam site, I generally trust it.
What would be the point in lying?
So what does it mean when Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant's site, No Gun No Funeral, hasn't been updated since mid-August?
The directive says revisit after 10 days.
And since there is a news component to the site, that directive seems reasonable in length. Maybe even a bit longer it ought to be.
But there is only one news item -- the one about the site itself. Nothing about gun violence, about murders and gun thefts and such. One story from August 17 in which Michael Bryant is confronted with the allegation that his people made this site. Bryant admits that the site is indeed his, and that it has gun owners running scared.
And nothing since then. Not ten days. Not twenty days. Maybe I'm the only one who visits the site anymore. Maybe I was the only one who ever did after the first few days.
Still, I'll come by from time to time. I'll let you know if the folks who think they have the solution to gun crime in Canada show any interest in their website.

To re-invoke how our current Sloganator-General described his critics for questioning the value of the taxpayer funded resort-retreats he porked out for his cronies:
"No Bryant No Bonehead"

Is it time to hold a funeral for Bryant's website?

Say Dalton, here's a idea...
Get Attorney General Michael Bryant to start working on... "No Parole. No Funeral".
And while we're on it, maybe someone can explain to me how taking gopher rifles off of farmers.. was gonna stop this animal from killing someone?
Because it didn't.

We all know the answer to this one....another self serving Librano skank was "outted" pimping fear and deflecting his responsibility off in an irrational direction...there is the familiar smell of Librano incest in this promo and when you open the cupboard doors and shine a light on a cockroach they all scurry for cover....like the ones responsible for Bryant's lame propaganda attempt here.
Guess we'll have to scheme out another misdirect to fool people into voting for the Ontario coackroach party.

Bryant admits that the site is indeed his, and that it has gun owners running scared.
Gun owners. Not gang members. Not gun smugglers. Not any criminals of any description -just gun owners. The same people who, in good faith, registered their guns, jumped through all the extra and often redundant hoops, usually at extra expense. That's who he's boasting of having "running scared".
Steve, you did one hell of a good job bringing this whole story to our attention and throwing a wrench into the machinery of that cowardly, worthless shit.
I thank you.
