Anarchist thugs, Riotous Assemblies

From the People’s Soviet of Portland:

An online anarchist platform encouraged people on Wednesday to shine lasers at federal helicopters in Portland, Oregon, a crime that law enforcement officials say can create extreme danger for pilots.

A post on the leftist, Portland-focused website “Rose City Counter-Info” tells viewers to scatter throughout the city’s streets on Saturday for the attack — nicknamed “Laser Tag” — as federal agents respond to demonstrations near the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. The goal is to “ground” the helicopters by making it difficult to safely fly them and flash too many lasers for law enforcement to hunt down those using them, according to the anonymously-written post.

“All you need is a laser. Leave home – they can see where the laser is coming from,” the post reads. “Go to a park, a field, or some other public place, and once the clock strikes 9 unleash your beam at the cop copter. Mask up. Coordinate with friends to throw a laser party!”

“Let’s take back the night together!” the announcement continued. “It won’t take many of us to ground the helicopters!”

Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a few patriots scattered around said parks and fields, likewise equipped, so that when one of these goblins shines a laser up at a chopper, he or she could find themselves lit up in turn…

Illegal immigrants, Vermin

From Longtime Friend and Reader Martin K.:

Martin adds:

“I am gravely disappointed at the Belgian law enforcement authorities: why do I not hear the musical sound of heavy police batons bouncing off the skull of this illegal migrant egg-fryer?”

I should point out that Martin is German — and given how often I slag off the Krauts, I am amazed that I have any German Readers at all, yet I have a few — but as a Longtime Reader, his rather poetic comment should come as no surprise.

I also suspect that at times his opinion of his compatriots may be even more scathing than mine.

Bitte schreib mir öfter, mein Freund.  (With the usual apologies for my horrible German.)

Sorry, Love

Law and Order, Psychos

I see that Charlie Kirk’s young widow Erika has (unsurprisingly) gone all Christian and forgiven the loathsome little shit who murdered her husband.

I can’t find it in myself to do that, and it’s not because I’m not a Christian.

You see, “forgiveness” has gotten a bad reputation of late, and that’s because we see it all over the place.  Judges “forgive” career criminals and release them back into society;  prosecutors of the Soros persuasion refuse to prosecute crime as they want to “forgive” the criminals because of their race or ethnic background (or political leanings), and even parents want to “forgive” the criminals who raped their daughters or sons.

Erika Kirk has even asked not to go after the death penalty for her husband’s murderer:

“I’ve had so many people ask, ‘Do you feel anger toward this man? Like, do you want to seek the death penalty?’ I’ll be honest. I told our lawyer, I want the government to decide this,” Erika shared.

“I do not want that man’s blood on my ledger. Because when I get to heaven, and Jesus is like: ‘Uh, eye for an eye? Is that how we do it?’ And that keeps me from being in heaven, from being with Charlie?”

Yeah, well this is why our society has delegated the business of revenge to a third party — in this case, the state of Utah — because it eliminates the personal from the process and hands it over to the People.  And the people of Utah have voted for the death penalty for murder.  It has nothing to do with the survivors.

And yes, forgiveness can make you feel your “ledger” is clean and your conscience made pure;  but your personal inclinations are not as important as the interests of society as a whole.

Society as a whole needs to be protected from animals like Kirk’s assassin — and I’m not just talking about his own activities.  I’m talking about others like him, who may decide to follow his path because there’s no chance that they’ll lose their own life as a consequence.  Life imprisonment, in other words, may work to protect people from an individual’s future activities — but it is definitely less of a deterrent for others than a death sentence.

I’m not going to argue the point with people who are against the death penalty per se.  I’m also not going to the trouble of looking up what happened to the capital murder rate in states like New York which abolished execution, or in states like (I think) Ohio which reinstated the death penalty.  The plain fact of the matter is that the death penalty is a deterrent against murder — the stats pretty much all show that — but even past that, I believe strongly in the concept of vengeance against those animals who have stepped so far outside the bounds of a lawful society that their continued existence is a smack in the face of the victims and their survivors, whether the latter want to acknowledge that, or not (as in the case of Erika Kirk).

Give Charlie’s murderer a fair trial, then hang him.  And hang all those who do the same.

Enough of this forgiveness bullshit:  it’s time for retribution.

Stable Door

Crime, Psychos

I see that the psycho who fatally stabbed that Ukrainian refugee girl on a train in Charlotte NC has been caught and charged with murder.

That’s all well and good;  but I don’t think we should stop there.  Apparently, Our Stabby-Boy has a long and storied history of psychotic behavior, well known to the Awfforiteez in Charlotte.

I wanna go all Hammurabi on the assholes who let this bastard loose to roam the city.  Let them be charged with murder too — or at minimum as accessories to murder — because they are as culpable as he is.

And I don’t care if he is “mentally incompetent” or any of the excuses dreamed up by doctors and lawyers for cases like this.  Fucking hang him, shoot him or give him the Cyanide Ride.  Now.

Because as sure as I’m sitting here, you have to know that at some point the details of his hideous crime will be forgotten and he’ll be released onto the streets, again.

In which case I will definitely be calling for the immediate execution of all the people who enabled this to happen.

No Big Deal, Then

Illegal immigrants, Lies and Untruths, Plagues and Poxes

Speaking of those manky ICE detainment centers, it seems that some illegal aliens have been dying of Covid.  Of course, that’s just terrible, according to the Usual Suspects, but some smart guy at Blueberry Town has taken a look at the actual numbers, applied some appropriate statistical methods and inferences, and sucked the air right out of the narrative:

The upshot is that ICE has been testing the heck out of the detainees in its facilities. As of September 11, there are only 20,138 detainees in ICE facilities (down from an average of >50,000 in 2019), and ICE has administered more than 35,000 Covid-19 tests. Recognizing that people cycle through these facilities at varying rates, it is safe to assume that ICE has tested a solid majority of its detainees during the last six months, and possibly the vast majority.

The agency has found 5,810 cases of Covid-19, for a “positivity rate” from testing at an ugly 16.6%. That is the sort of rate that gets journalists screaming at governors, fun banned, and schools firmly virtual.

Sounds horrible, right?  Nazzo fast, Guido:

But only 6 detainees have died of the Covid. That is a case-fatality ratio of… 0.1%. Compare that number to the observed case fatality rates in various countries, which are massively higher. The Covid-19 case fatality rate in ICE detention centers is right in line with the seasonal flu. That made us curious.

There might be several explanations for this. ICE facilities might have excellent health care. Well, maybe, but that would be a narrative-buster of the first order. Indeed, a recent whistleblower has contended that at least one ICE facility has under-reported Covid-19 cases, which would suggest an even lower case-fatality rate than indicated by the dashboard.

Through the same link, there seems to be data that says that the median age of people deported from ICE facilities is 30. By comparison, the median age in the United States is about 38. The population in ICE facilities, therefore, is almost certainly significantly younger than the United States in general.

Furthermore, eyeballing that chart above, the ICE facilities seem to have very few people over the age of 70, which represents the preponderance of Covid-19 fatalities in the general US population.

There’s all sorts of other geeky goodness in the article, and I would earnestly recommend that you read all of it.  But the executive summary?

There’s not a whole lot to panic about — not on this topic anyway.

Sorry, Commies.  Find another issue to care about.
