Loser Gets 10 Years for Being a Loser

That isn’t what the headline says. The headline says “Homeless man gets 10 years in prison for stealing clothes for warmth.” Until you read the article. He broke into a house to steal stuff. When the cops found him, he was in possession of methamphetamine. It wasn’t his first offense. He got 18 months for the burglary, and 8.5 years for the drugs. He had just gotten out of prison in December for drugs.

Is there anything that gets reported in the press that isn’t misleading or an outright lie?

He lost his kitchen manager’s job and ended up homeless and using meth. His (public defender) lawyer said Krumwiede does well, but then friends get him drugs. Yeah, that happens to me every time I lose my job- somehow, through no fault of my own, I find myself using drugs.

In fact, looking into this loser’s record, he has four previous felony convictions. This incident adds two more to that. He was kicked out of the Army in 2012 for drugs.

The only real bright spot in this story is a quote from the judge: “Why should the state of Michigan rehabilitate you? You’ve only been here for three years. You’ve done nothing but disrupt this community.”

Evidence

If I was ever involved in a case where a restaurant worker did this to my food, the following video would be the only piece of evidence I would introduce at trial. I would probably walk.

If ever there was a justification for legal ass whippings, this is it.

11th Circuit

The 11th circuit unanimously says that Florida’s law restricting gun sales to those older than 21 is consistent with the US historical tradition of restrictions. When I get time, I would love to see the rationale behind that.

Keep a couple of things in mind:

  • A Republican controlled legislature and governor passed the law saying that 18-20 year olds are second class citizens with no Second Amendment rights.
  • In 2018, when the law was passed, Republicans had a 79-41 majority in the Florida House, and a 25-15 majority in the Florida Senate. Rick Scott was the Governor.
  • The 11th circuit is made up of 2 Democrat and 1 Republican judges. The decision was unanimous.

Don’t for one second think that the Republicans are your friends.

Get Woke, Go Broke

The collapse of SVB bank is the second largest bank collapse in US history. It’s stock price lost 90% of its value in less than 48 hours. Most of the depositors and their deposits are uninsured. People are going to lose billions. Just who was in charge of this place?

The CFO was Joseph Gentile. He was the CFO of Lehman Brothers when they failed.

The Board of Directors is filled with diversity hires who are there because of their woke credentials. They all have pronouns in their bios, which are filled with corporate newspeak. The Head of Financial Risk and Model Risk Management was this nutbag:

This is what happens when you allow people to manage your money based on woke principles instead of on their actual skill and competence. I hope the depositors at this failed bank enjoy all of that diversity, because diversity is your strength, eh?

Get woke, go broke.

4 Year Old Dead

A 4 year old died after he was shot in the face in Kissimmee. His father was likely the one who shot him.

I knew it

His criminal record in Orange county shows 14 felony convictions for dealing drugs, 4 convictions for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and ten convictions for misdemeanor battery, domestic battery, domestic battery to a child, possession of drugs, and now he is facing another charge of possession of a firearm by a felon. So tell me, antigunners: how will making guns illegal keep this guy from having them, keeping in mind that drugs are illegal and he has no problems getting drugs wholesale to sell to others?

Other questions I would like answered: This guy has been a legal adult for 14 years. How in the hell is he walking around a free man with 18 felony and 10 misdemeanor convictions? He gets arrested two or three times a year. Consider that some of the J6 protesters are facing more than 20 years in prison for nothing more than trespassing in the Capitol.

MD Dems Seek to Decriminalize Murder

That’s not a typo. Read what they are trying to do: (pdf alert)

(B) A PERSON WHO WAS UNDER THE AGE OF 25 YEARS AT THE TIME OF THE OFFENSE MAY NOT BE FOUND TO HAVE COMMITTED MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE UNDER SUBSECTION (A)(4) OF THIS SECTION.

OK, so what does subsection (A)(4) say?

(4) SUBJECT TO SUBSECTION (B) OF THIS SECTION, committed in the perpetration of or an attempt to perpetrate:
(i) arson in the first degree;
(ii) burning a barn, stable, tobacco house, warehouse, or other outbuilding that:
1. is not parcel to a dwelling; and
2. contains cattle, goods, wares, merchandise, horses, grain, hay, or tobacco;
(iii) burglary in the first, second, or third degree;
(iv) carjacking or armed carjacking;
(v) escape in the first degree from a State correctional facility or a local correctional facility;
(vi) kidnapping under § 3–502 or § 3–503(a)(2) of this article;
(vii) mayhem;
(viii) rape;
(ix) robbery under § 3–402 or § 3–403 of this article;
(x) sexual offense in the first or second degree;
(xi) sodomy as that crime existed before October 1, 2020; or
(xii) a violation of § 4–503 of this article concerning destructive devices.

If this passes, I am going to have to add Maryland to the “no go” zones list.

Breaking: FBI Caught Lying in Court

Here is the story:

Not only has the FBI been hiding exculpatory evidence, it was also found that agents were altering testimony and documents, as well as destroying other documents, all at the explicit orders of a supervisory agent. Not only that, but it came out during the trial that the FBI was illegally intercepting communications between defendants in jail and their attorneys before then forwarding the contents of those communications to the prosecutor in the case. This is a clear violation of the Constitutional rights of the defendants.

The defense attorneys immediately filed motions in the case, but instead of considering those motions, the judge had the jury leave the room and then “paused” the trial so that the FBI and prosecutors could review this new development, or in other words, work together to get their story straight.

Corruption. The ballot box destroyed on November 20, 2020. Now the jury box is gone. What boxes are left?
