Crime

Don’t Mention It

When I saw the article about the California firefighter shot and killed while fighting a dumpster fire, this jumped out at me as odd:

Stockton police said a 67-year-old man had been detained and a weapon recovered.

No description, no name of a suspect, nothing. When you see that, it usually means…

Yep. That’s what I thought. It seems that whenever the press dodges making a description, it usually is for a reason.

This post is not a comment on the shooting itself, as there are too few details available on what happened to draw any conclusions. Instead, this post is intended to point out that the press always seems to cover up stories that involve certain demographics.

Still Counting Bullet Holes

Two cars full of NRA members white men gang members unidentified young men engaged in a running gun battle in Winter Haven, Florida. All four people riding in one car, and at least on person in the other car, were hit. The Sheriff’s Department spokesman said that they are still counting casings and bullet holes to try and determine how many shots were fired.

Winter Haven is known as the bailiwick of Sheriff Grady Judd. Some try to make him into some sort of ‘tough guy’ hero cop. While I certainly commend his stance on people who commit violent crimes, he is also the sort of grandstanding cop that I can’t abide.

Don’t forget that Grady Judd is also one of the Sheriffs who has broken Florida law by lobbying state legislators to defeat open carry and defeat Constitutional carry. It is illegal for government officials to lobby the State Legislature for changes to the law, but that doesn’t matter to a police official who supports ‘law and order’ when the law is in opposition to his orders.

His opinion on guns seems to change, depending on who is listening:

Recidivism

The Loudon county tranny that raped two high school girls was convicted of two counts of sodomy. He won’t be forced to register as a sex offender. Why? The reason given was that it would hurt the boy’s chances of getting a job in the future, which would then cause him to reoffend:

The teen’s probation officer, Jason Bickmore, opposed forcing him to register as a sex offender, saying studies show teenage sex offenders required to register actually have a higher rate of re-offending. He said the aim of the juvenile justice system is rehabilitation, not punishment.

I have an idea. A father in Spokane found the solution to recidivism.

Crime DOES Pay

Orlando will soon be paying criminals to not commit crimes, and to counsel others to avoid crime as well. Called “neighborhood change agents,” they will be individuals who have similar backgrounds, come from similar communities as those who are at risk of committing violent crimes. They may be people who got in trouble as youth themselves, who have been arrested, and involved in gangs. According to the program:

Neighborhood Change Agents” (NCAs) who will intervene to disrupt situations when violence appears imminent, and maintain daily contact with participants, serving as mentors, case managers and life coaches. Their goal will be to pivot participants away from circumstances leading toward violence, and instead to non-violent, economically, and socially productive lives.

Paying criminals not to commit crimes. This was a program that began in Richmond, CA back in 2016. Fox News reported on it at the time. San Francisco started doing it last year.

So this year, as you are filing your taxes, remember that this is where your hard earned money is going: you are paying protection money to criminals in the hopes that they won’t kill you. I don’t even know why we need cops anymore.

Homicide Rate

The 2021 homicide rate for the United States is now estimated to be 6.9 per 100,000. That means that our homicide rate is now the same as it was in 1997. Since that year, the only one that has come close was 2001, with a homicide rate of 6.7, but a good deal of that was the terrorist incident on 9/11. In one year, we erased 25 years of progress in reducing violent crime.

Following emotionally-charged political lies and stoking hatred and division might have just been a bad idea. Unfortunately, the same people who sold us the bill of goods about systemic racism, reparations, white fragility, fascism, and police brutality – while telling us to ignore things like the family, fatherlessness, addiction, black-on-black crime, immigration, the peaceful protesting, and then calling us the problem.

Yes, according to them, we are the racist insurrectionists because we don’t want our kids being raped by a man in a miniskirt, nor do we want them taught that they are evil and a scourge upon the Earth.

We are terrorists for daring to demand a fair election where each person’s vote counts once and only once. We are evil because we don’t want to be worked like chattel, only to have the fruits of our labor stolen from us in order to provide others with luxuries while they sit at home and do nothing but breed.

We have had enough.

Need a Lawyer to Get Laid

A proposed bill in Florida will change the law concerning rape. Now in Florida, a man and a woman can have couple of drinks followed by a sexual romp, and if one of them later decides that sex was a bad idea, have the other charged with rape.

Why? Because the old law required that the victim had been drugged without their consent. Now the law will be changed so if one or both of them are intoxicated of their own free will, they are considered mentally incapacitated, and the other is guilty of rape.

The only way to get laid is to have any potential paramour sign a legal release with at least two witnesses certifying that the signatories do not appear to be impaired by any intoxicating substances.
