More on the critter who randomly fired into a crowd celebrating Halloween in Orlando: He had a felony record for grand theft auto from last December. There is a record of him attending elementary and middle school, but no record of high school, meaning that he was a dropout. We don’t have much else to go on, because juvenile records are sealed in Florida.
This is an example of the absolute waste of DNA that has become a large segment of our nation. I am reminded of the quote from Heinlein’s Starship Troopers, comparing raising children to housebreaking dogs:
“Mr. Dubois, you have to! You scold him so that he knows he’s in trouble, you rub his nose in it so that he will know what trouble you mean, you paddle him so that he darn well won’t do it again — and you have to do it right away! It doesn’t do a bit of good to punish him later; you’ll just confuse him. Even so, he won’t learn from one lesson, so you watch and catch him again and paddle him still harder. Pretty soon he learns. But it’s a waste of breath just to scold him.” Then I added, “I guess you’ve never raised pups.”
These children were often caught; police arrested batches each day. Were they scolded? Yes, often scathingly. Were their noses rubbed in it? Rarely. News organs and officials usually kept their names secret – in many places the law so required for criminals under eighteen. Were they spanked? Indeed not! Many had never been spanked even as small children; there was a widespread belief that spanking, or any punishment involving pain, did a child permanent psychic damage.
These juvenile criminals hit a low level. Born with only the instinct for survival, the highest morality they achieved was a shaky loyalty to a peer group, a street gang. But the do-gooders attempted to ‘appeal to their better natures,’ to ‘reach them,’ to ‘spark their moral sense.’ Tosh! They had no ‘better natures’; experience taught them that what they were doing was the way to survive. The puppy never got his spanking; therefore what he did with pleasure and success must be ‘moral.’
Jaremy Smith at 22 years old was convicted of armed robbery and hostage taking for which he received a twelve year sentence. On December 1, 2023, he was released after serving less than 10 years and placed on Supervised release.
Less than 4 months later, on March 15, he sat on the side of the road with a flat tire. When a New Mexico state trooper stopped to offer his assistance, Smith asked for a ride into town. When the trooper agreed, Smith shot him in the back of the head, ran around to the driver’s side, shot the trooper twice more, then dumped the officer’s body on the side of the road and drove off in the stolen patrol vehicle.

The broken down car that he had been driving? The stranded vehicle turned out to be owned by a South Carolina paramedic who was found shot to death in Dillon County, South Carolina, also on March 15. She had been reported missing several days earlier.
During his arrest, Smith was shot several times, and emergency surgery was performed. Since his discharge from the hospital, he has been held in jail awaiting trial. His attorney filed a motion asking for a continuance due to Smith being in a “tremendous amount of pain.” He has also complained that they aren’t giving him anything stronger than Tylenol to treat the pain.
You know what? I don’t give a shit. He is seen on video murdering the cop. The trial should last about 20 minutes longer than it takes to play the video, then they should toss a rope over the nearest tree limb and hang his ass, just like they used to do. I am usually opposed to the death penalty because I don’t trust prosecutors to present all of the evidence, even when they know that the accused is not guilty.
He killed two people and would have killed more, if the cops hadn’t caught up to him. Fuck this guy.
What really pisses me off about this is that he was released before the end of his sentence for “good behavior.” News reports show that in 2014, Smith, then 23, escaped from the Marion County, South Carolina, jail after he and another inmate overpowered two detention officers. The inmates handcuffed one guard and beat the other. The inmates then stacked up chairs in the recreation area and one lifted the other up and over the recreation yard wall. Officials say the jail staff then called for help and EMS to treat the injured officer, and when the gates were opened for deputies and EMS to come inside, Smith ran out of the gated area. Deputies tracked and captured him about two hours later. How in the world is that good behavior?
Some people are defending the 15 year old who murdered her mother and shot her stepfather, so I wanted to outline the case for more clarity.
The girl had been using drugs and hiding that life from her mother by using burner phones. She had a very high IQ and was adept at getting away with what she was doing. Until her mother caught on.
What happened next is not in dispute, as it was caught on the home’s security cameras and cell phone messages. She got a gun and shot her mother. Afterwards, Carly asked one of her friends “Have you ever seen a dead body? My mom is in there.”
Then she sent a text to her step father from her mother’s phone that read: ““When will you be home honey?” then shot him when he walked in the door. He was fortunately able to wrestle the gun away from her before she could shoot him again. She then fled the home, and hid the security camera in the refrigerator on the way out.
During the investigation that followed, police found her journal, in which she had written things like: “You don’t need family” and “It’s okay to be evil.”
Gregg was offered a plea deal of 40 years in prison, but turned it down. Instead, her legal team pursued an insanity defense, which was unsuccessful. The court heard from psychiatrist Dr Andrew Clark, who said he believes Gregg ‘blacked out’ for up to 90 minutes on the day of the alleged offence, but also accepted that someone in Gregg’s position would have a motive to ‘fake’ a mental illness. Dr Clark told the court Gregg reported to him that she’d had ‘auditory hallucinations’ for years prior to the alleged crime, but the voices in her head had never ‘commanded’ her to do anything.
Her own psychiatrist testified that she didn’t have serious mental health issues before the killings.
However, the fact that she had tried to cover up her crimes by tampering with evidence caused the court to not believe that she was insane. (This is called evidence of guilt. In order to be considered incompetent for trial, the defense has to show that the person didn’t know that what they did was wrong. Obviously, tampering with evidence to hide the crime shows that the person knew that what they did was wrong.)
Interesting to me was the fact that she was taking Lexapro and Zoloft, which are both mood stabilizers that have been connected to other teenaged murderers and spree killers. I wonder of the drugs are causing the murderous behavior or not.
When police first began the investigation, the stepfather was the prime suspect until police took a look at the security cameras.
The defense told the jury that the murderer had suffered enough, since she was now an orphan after her mother was killed. They also tried the “not guilty by reason of insanity” that I don’t think should be a defense. You killed someone in cold blood? There is only one way to make sure that it doesn’t happen again.
On the other hand, I also don’t trust the state in death penalty cases, because I know that prosecutors lie, and cops swear to it. I hope she enjoys her time in prison.
That’s what the Muslims in Hamtramck, MI are calling themselves. The left rejoiced when they managed to get an all Muslim city commission elected in 2015. Until 2023, that is. That’s when the commissioners voted to ban the pride flag.
We supported you when you were threatened, and now our rights are threatened, and you’re the one doing the threatening.
What do you know. Muslims don’t like sexual deviants. Who knew?
Here is the primary officer’s body camera. It allows you to hear the beginning of the traffic stop. Note that Hill’s window was down while he was driving, and he raised it as the officer approached. Watch the video on the left.

Anyone reading this blog knows that I am not afraid to call out the cops when they are in the wrong. I am also fair enough to see when they are in the right. In this case, the cops were in the right.
“If I wasn’t Tyreek Hill, Lord knows, I probably would have been, like, worst-case scenario, I would have been shot or would have been locked up” and “put behind bars, you know, for a simple speeding ticket,” Hill told NBC News.
It wasn’t just a simple speeding ticket. Police claim that he was going more than double speed limit in an area where pedestrians were walking to see the game he was about to play in. That’s reckless driving, which is a crime, not a traffic infraction.
Then they go on to blame racism and state that Hill’s lawyers are going to sue.
It’s hard,” Hill said. “I don’t want to bring race into it, but sometimes it gets kind of iffy when you do. What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill? Lord knows what those guys would have done. I just wanted to make sure I was doing what my uncle always told me to do whenever you’re in a situation like that — put your hands on the steering wheel and just listen.”
Were the cops out of line? Let’s take a look at the body cam.
The first thing that I noticed is that the cops aren’t white. There goes the racism charge. We all know that in today’s environment, you can’t be racist unless you are white.
The second thing you see is that the first words out of Hill’s mouth are “Don’t knock on my window like that,” which is setting the stage for how you will be treated. He says something else, followed by “Do what you gotta do,” then rolls his window back up. His windows are tinted far darker than Florida law allows, and it is impossible to see into the car. That is a sure recipe for a cop to demand your windows be rolled down, and that is exactly what happened.
When the cop again knocks on the window, Hill gives more attitude, so he is told to get out of the car. Hill doesn’t comply, so the cops threaten to break the window. As the cops are pulling him out of the car, Hill is busy calling his agent or perhaps the teams security chief ( both are named Drew) for help on the phone.
As they finish cuffing him, several of his teammates show up and begin interfering with the traffic stop. One of them eventually gets cuffed as well.
“Tyreek was in handcuffs for like 20 minutes, probably more. Team security came and was able to squash everything. Other officers pulled up — I think some superior officers pulled up. And everything worked out. But it was a crazy situation. It was not necessary.”
Note that the USA today article spends a good bit of time detailing the football accomplishments of the people involved in the incident: NFL man of the year, Heisman this, statistics on the football field that. Also there was Hill’s agent and the director of team security. Any bets on whether or not the director of team security is a former cop, and that’s why Hill was let go with only a ticket? The team had this to say:
It is both maddening and heartbreaking to watch the very people we trust to protect our community use such unnecessary force and hostility towards these players, yet it is also a reminder that not every situation like this ends in peace, as we are grateful this one did,” they said in part. “‘What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?’ is a question that will carry with resounding impact.
The Dolphins also called on the Miami-Dade Police Department to take “swift and strong action against the officers who engaged in such despicable behavior.”
What if he wasn’t Tyreek Hill? Well, he would not have gotten out of driving nearly 100 mph on a surface street without a valid driver’s license, that’s for sure. The left keeps lecturing us on how “no one is above the law,” but that isn’t true, and everyone knows it. Although he was cited for speeding, reckless driving, and driving without a valid license, there are currently no pending traffic tickets in Miami-Dade’s system for him. They have been magically erased.
The cop is on a paid suspension pending an investigation.
My opinion on what caused this incident to escalate of control?
This isn’t a race issue. It’s an issue of entitlement. He’s good at playing a child’s game, and for that reason he has never had to follow the rules. Schools don’t discipline them as children, because they are good at sports. The same happens as adults. They are the puppy from Starship Troopers- never disciplined, then everyone is surprised when they turn out to be criminals with no respect for the law or the rules. You know what? They are right- being good at playing with a ball means being too rich and famous to follow the same laws that the rest of us must follow.
