It Isn’t Just Cops

I slam cops when they are wrong, but let me flip to the other side and support them on this one. I was loosely involved with the events here. Be aware, the details are a bit disturbing.

Years ago, we had a teacher at the local school that was molesting a young child. This teacher was well liked, the students, his fellow staff, and the parents all loved him. The scores that his students received were at the top of the scale. I believe he was even teacher of the year a couple of times. No one suspected a thing.

I can’t remember for sure, but I think the victim who came forward was in Kindergarten or first grade. Like I said, this was years ago. Probably more like 20 years ago. This teacher would play a game with this young girl that he called the “finger game.” In this game, he would have her stand with her back to him and put her hands behind her back. The teacher would then put one or more fingers in her hand and she would have to tell him how many fingers were there. The game eventually changed, and it wasn’t fingers that he was putting in her hand. Yeah, disgusting shit.

The child told her parents, who reported the incident to the school. The principal investigated and decided that the accusation was unfounded. The accusations went away. Six months later, another parent came forward and was dismissed the same way, only this time the parent didn’t let it lie: they went to the police. The cops investigated and arrested the teacher. During the investigation, it was discovered that this teacher had molested more than half a dozen students over at least one school year. There may have been more victims, it’s impossible to know at that age. It also turned out that there were at least three school officials who knew about the accusations but didn’t take action because they didn’t find any evidence that they were true. The record in court painted a different story. I am including statements from one of the trials so you can read it for yourself, but I have made some slight edits to remove names.

The father told the Principal that he liked the teacher and did not want to get him in trouble, but the father wanted the game to stop. The Principal talked to two of the students, and they confirmed that this game had taken place after school while they were waiting to be picked up. One of the girls used the term “wiener” in describing the game, and one said she heard a sound like a zipper during the game. After interviewing these two students, at approximately 2:00 p.m. that day, the Principal called the Human Resources (“HR”) Department and told the Director of HR that he had received a complaint from a parent about the teacher that involved a game being played after dismissal that the father thought seemed unconventional.

Instead of notifying law enforcement, the school district’s HR department decided to investigate for themselves. They investigated for a week before finally calling the police.

The police went to the school, arrested the principal and a few other school staff members. You see, teachers are mandatory reporters- they are required to report all suspected child abuse to law enforcement and/or children and family services. It isn’t the job of school officials to investigate crimes- they are required to report them.

The press at the time was busy reporting about how the teachers were being unfairly accused of sex crimes by an overzealous police department that was out of control.

The principal was even more popular than was the teacher, and a large group of parents and teachers went to the next meeting of the local government, demanding that the charges be dropped and the police involved be fired for daring to arrest this principal, teacher, and other school staff members. The school district superintendent released a statement saying that he was fully supporting the school officials, and that they wouldn’t be fired. 

The teacher was charged with multiple counts of child abuse and of lewd and lascivious molestation of children under the age of 12. He reached a plea deal and pled guilty to one count of child abuse. He received a sentence of 8 days in jail, with credit of 8 days for time served, 5 years of probation during which he could not work with children, and a fine of less than $400. His teaching license was revoked. Pretty light penalty, I would say.

The school staff all had their charges dropped. They sued the city and the police officers involved. The case was settled. I can’t find a record for what happened to the teacher. He seemingly vanished. I am guessing that he changed his name. Of the school staff members, one wound up as a groundskeeper, one died a couple of years later, and the third now works for Publix supermarkets.

I sometimes wonder how those children are coping. They are now in their late 20s and some likely have school aged children of their own.

Tickets are Racist

California has decided that “traditional enforcement methods have had a well-documented disparate impact on communities of color, and implicit or explicit racial bias in police traffic stops puts drivers of color at risk” therefore, traffic tickets are racist.

To correct this, tickets will come with fines that are adjusted based upon the driver’s income level. How this passes through the equal protection clause, I don’t know.

Honor Student

Seventeen year old Austin was the MVP of his high school football team. He had a 4.0 GPA. He and his twin brother were two popular students at their Texas high school. In fact, Austin had recently returned from a hunting trip with his dad, where he had bagged his first hog. As a high school junior, he was already receiving college scholarship offers. He had a bright future ahead of him.

All of that changed on Wednesday night when he was robbed of that future. Most news reports simply say that he got into “an altercation” with another teenager and got stabbed. That account leaves out some key facts. Here is what happened:

Austin and his classmates were attending a track meet at 10am on Wednesday when Austin told someone who was sitting in the stands that seating was organized by school, and that he was sitting in the wrong section. The 17 year old who was seated in the wrong seat apparently though that it was a serious transgression for someone to point out that he was sitting in the wrong seat, because he pulled out a knife and stabbed Austin in the heart.

Austin died in his twin brother’s arms.

His murderer? We all know what you are about to see, but here he is.

There is almost no information out there about this killer. I am betting that its because his record has been sealed. Someone who comes to school armed with a knife and stabs another after being told they are in the wrong seat isn’t a trouble free honor student. Our schools are dangerous places where little education takes place. We as a society like to pretend that everyone can live together in harmony, but that is demonstrated to be false nearly every day.

Whenever a black person gets shot while being arrested by the cops, we always hear about how he was a troubled teen who was turning his life around, but it’s all bullshit. The facts are what they are- more than half of all murders and violent crime are carried out by one demographic. In this case, a so-called troubled teen killed an actual honor student, someone who actually DID have his life in order, and HAD a bright future.

Had a white kid killed a black kid, it would be the lead story for every major news outlet. It isn’t news when a black kid kills a white one, because it happens so often that it just isn’t news.

Plumbers

A plumber is called out for a clogged drain. The plumber clears it and charges $235. Three days later, the clog returned. Since it was a weekend, the plumber charged $390. The restaurant questioned the plumber about the quality of his work.

The next day, the plumber returned and clogged the pipe with an inflatable plug and sent them a message that they had an hour to pay him or he was going on vacation and they would be screwed until he got back.

That isn’t how business is done. You don’t get to enter my property uninvited to sabotage my business over a billing dispute. The cops, useless as usual, claimed it was a civil matter and refused to get involved.

At that point, i would have gone outside and beat me some plumber ass. If vandalizing my plumbing is a civil matter and not a crime that the police will do anything about, then you have to do a self help solution.

My advice to the restaurant is get a new plumber.

Barbary, Islam, and Jizya

Let me lay out a few thoughts with regard to the current conflict in the Red Sea.

The Quasi War

The very first test of the new United States was just a decade after the ratification of the Constitution. France was at war with England, as it seems they have been more often than not. When the Republic of France went to war with Great Britain and the European coalition in 1792, the United States declared its neutrality, and the French didn’t like the fact that the new nation was neutral.

This was made worse from the French point of view when the US signed the Jay treaty with Britain, opening trade between the new nation and the British colonies in the Carribbean. As a matter of policy, France began permitting privateering against US shipping. This sparked the formation of a new US Navy to take on French privateers in a conflict called the Quasi War. In the beginning, merchant ships were converted to Naval service while the US built its first six frigates. The conflict ended in 1800. This is an important conflict because it was waged by President George Washington until he retired in 1799 and Congress never declared war.

Jizya

It should be well known to my readers that non-Muslims living in areas controlled by Muslim rule are referred to as dhimmi. The term dhimmi means “one whose responsibility has been taken” and refers to those who must be ruled over by those of the Muslim faith. Muslims believe that dhimmi must convert to Islam, serve Muslims as laborers or in their military, or pay tribute referred to as jizya.

This was the premise behind the Barbary pirates. The Barbary states were a collection of Muslim nations on the north coast of Africa: Morocco was an independent kingdom, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli owed a loose allegiance to the Ottoman Empire. The naval forces of the Barbary states were capturing US ships and holding the crews for ransom, some for more than a decade. They were doing this because they were Muslim and were demanding the US pay jizya in exchange for their ships being protected from the Barbary states themselves.

As we have posted above, and in previous posts, the practice of state-supported piracy and ransoming of captives was not wholly unusual at the time. International law said that pirates could be executed on sight. Granting a letter of marque made a pirate a legitimate member of a nation’s policy and not a pirate. This is where the Constitutional clause allowing letters of Marque came from.

Since the US was busy fighting off the French privateers at the time, they decided that it was cheaper to pay the jizya to the Barbary states than it was to fight them as well as the French. That’s what they did until 1801, when the Pasha of Tripoli, Yusuf Qaramanli, citing late payments of tribute, demanded additional tribute and declared war on the United States. The US chose to stop paying the jizya and instead sent their new Navy. The Marines still sing about the resulting military action to this day. The US negotiated a halt to the raids in 1817, but they continued raiding shipping of other nations until the French finally invaded Algiers and leveled the place.

Continued Problems

What we are seeing in the Red Sea is a continuation of the Muslim desire to force everyone to either convert or pay tribute. That is why piracy is a problem in the Red Sea and in the Gulf of Aden. The Muslims in Yemen and Iran have decided that people either pay tribute or serve them in their desires. Those morons wouldn’t be able to do anything if it weren’t for the Iranians supplying them weapons. Note that European nations’ shipping is being left alone. I wonder what that is…

The US has long taken the position that the open ocean is free for navigation. We can either try to fight another forever war of insurgency against Yemen, or we can cut their weapons off at the source- tell Iran to stop supplying missiles to terrorists or else. No need to engage in a long war- tell them to stop selling weapons to them. If the weapons continue to flow, then take out the Iranian navy. If they want to continue after that, we can bomb the missile factories. If we don’t want to do it, all we have to do is tell Israel that we will no longer hold them back from doing it themselves.

Good Guys with Guns

A study of records shows that CCW holders stopped 180 of 515 active shootings in the decade that ended in 2023. When the study excluded gunfree zones, it turns out that there were 350 active shooters, and private citizens stopped more than half of all active shootings, did so with fewer lost lives, and fewer bystanders hit.

In fact, in those 180 shootings, only one innocent was hit by the CCW holder, only two of the CCW holders was killed, and none of them were of any hinderance to law enforcement. In 44 of those shootings, the CCW holder was injured.

Compare that to the police. In the 156 active shooters stopped by law enforcement, police accidentally shot the wrong person 4 times, killing fellow officers twice and private citizens twice. That’s more than double the rate of private citizens accidentally shooting a bystander.

During the events, 27 police were shot and killed while trying to stop an active shooter, a 7.7 percent rate, which is nearly six times higher than the rate for private CCW holders.

Incompetent

A man is involved in an incident that involves a police officer being shot and another man killed. The court rules that he is incompetent to stand trial, so they let him go. Nine years later, he stabs two police canines before being shot and killed by police.

I understand why you would rule that someone is incompetent to stand trial. What I don’t understand is why that means the crazy person is free to go out and kill again. A video review of the man’s shooting is here:

Busted

I have the rest of the story of the armed feral negro queens Amish Canadians who were trespassing on the property of and kicking the dog of their neighbor. The story is out of Pittsburg, California and the two Canadians involved are a mother, Lagashia Williams, and her daughter, Graciela Amar, both from Oakland.

It turns out that they had parked a car on top of some of the landscaping, to which the homeowner and neighbor, Albert Lopes, too exception. He said something to the pair and the daughter responded by retrieving a firearm from the car. During the argument, the mother told the daughter to kick the dog and the complied. The dog was kicked so hard, it flew through the air, receiving liver and leg damage, as well as a ruptured spinal disk. The man setup a GoFundMe that has raised $18,000 to cover the dog’s medical expenses.

This shit really pisses me off. People should be able to enjoy their property, and that includes letting your useless little ankle biting dog run free upon it. At no point should you have to worry about bands of armed marauding negros tread upon it while threatening you with violence. In a just world, you would be permitted to shoot them and mount their heads upon pikes as a warning to the others.
