Here’s one that got my right index finger twitching:
A Saudi Arabian asylum seeker activist has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering six people and injuring hundreds more at a Christmas market in Germany in 2024.
This week, the Magdeburg Regional Court handed down the maximum sentence to Taleb Al Abdulmohsen over an attack on the town’s Christmas market in which he used a rental car to plough into pedestrians, killing six, including a nine-year-old boy and five women. Over 300 more were left injured in the frenzied attack.
So far, so good — although a more fitting punishment would have been slow impalement — but here’s what got under my skin:
The Saudi Arabian native had arrived in Germany in 2006 and was granted asylum ten years later, despite warnings from Riyadh, Kuwait, and the United Kingdom over potential criminal acts.
…whereupon my feeling rage directed towards this asshole promptly transferred itself towards the Kraut officials who ignored those warnings and granted the lunatic asylum status.
So six people died and three hundred more people were injured as a result as a result of this foolishness.
Now read all about Citizen Vigilante.

I watched that movie the other day and I can’t recommend it. Everything about it was poorly done.
If that sort of thing is of interest, then Bronson’s 1974 Deathwish is still the best choice.

I’ve heard the same thing, Ghost. Nice concept poorly executed.
Thing is, it ain’t just Europe. It’s here too. We know it, we see it. The rot hasn’t gone as far, but the rot is here too. We can’t just send all the Somalis and other filth home. We need to root out the ones who brought them here too.
I haven’t watched it, but I’m not surprised about the quality of the movie. Having been a fellow traveler in Conservative INC. circles….most of this kind of thing is.
Which always hamstrings us using the “arts” to get a message out.
Death Wish was also a shit movie. The reason it was (and still is) popular is that it embodied the dream of someone SOMEHOW fighting back against pervasive evil, breaking the law when the law was not being enforced, or the law itself was evil.
Vigilante should be seen as that kind of movie.
I entered the bidnezz world when the globalization spree kicked off. Starting with things like NAFTA, which I supported at the time, which I was dreadfully wrong about.
The then BIG TECH company I worked for was one of the cheerleaders of globalization. We were having a coffee pot discussion about the magic beanstalk the world coming together was going to lead to, (sort of in the spirit of the vile “Imagine” song by John Lennon). One of the old timers said, “Its been tried before, even God thought it was a bad idea.” Referring to Genesis 11:1-9.
The rest of us should have listened. You ignore these things at your peril.
We Americans and Europeans have been taking it in the ear since Woodrow Wilson and other statists for more than a hundred years now, inch by inch. Western European culture needs another round of
The Beginnings.
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
– Rudyard Kipling
