If you don’t get a huge SchadenBöner from this little sequence, you are broken.
“But Kim,” you may ask, “why should I get a SchadenBöner from this unhappy tale?”

Broken Neighborhoods
I was interested, although not surprised, to see this development:
High-end retail shops in California’s iconic Beverly Hills have reportedly begun to shutter their doors amid an epidemic of smash-and-grab robberies.
To be fair, a whole bunch of them had already closed because of California’s stringent WuFlu lockdown a couple years back. But this latest “epidemic of smash-and-grab robberies” is absolutely the fault of the politicians and the voters who put them there.
Yup: being soft on crime, whether allowing overt riots of the BLM genre or having the “shoplifting isn’t really a crime” mindset, can only lead to more and yet more lawlessness — something you’d think would be blindingly obvious to the dumbest of the dumb.
Clearly, Californians fall even below the above definition.
Let Beverly Hills sink — and the rest of that poxy state along with it.
Alternative Outcomes
A dog owner was allegedly murdered in his own home by thieves who were targeting his beloved pet labradoodle. Police found the body of Donald Patience shortly after they were called to reports of Layla being dognapped.
All this took place in Britishland, where one is forbidden to defend one’s life and/or property.
I can’t help thinking what the reaction would be had this happened in, say, Dallas, where at least one of the home invaders could well have ended up being terminally perforated by a .45 hollowpoint bullet.
Of course, that would result in the usual handwringing sobs of “a dog’s life is not worth a human life”. According to these asshole thieves, though, it actually is worth more than a human life.
It’s just too bad it was the owner’s, and not the robber’s.
Scumbag Ban
Here we go again. Executive summary: asshole loser shoots three people dead for no reason other than, apparently, their race. Doubleplusungood: with an AR-15. Tripleplusungood: AR-15 had swastikas painted on it.
Before the Weepies and Gun-Fearing Wussies get going with “Ban all eeeevil assault rifles NOW!”, let’s just face a couple facts.
- Said scumbag was 21, so no age ban would have affected him.
- The AR-15 was legally purchased (as was the Glock the asshole was carrying).
- Had the AR-15 been banned, and assuming he couldn’t get his hands on one illegally, he could have used the (legally-purchased) Glock to do the same job.
- Had he preferred to use a non-AR-type semi-auto rifle instead of a Glock, he could have used one of these (which would never be included in an AR-style ban) because hunting rifles (as evidenced by the wooden stock):
…but which function identically to the AR-15.
Listen, I don’t want to downplay this tragedy. Society has no place for scumbags like this, and had I been there and in a position to intervene, I would have shot this little cunt in the back of the head without a second thought, before he had a chance to off himself.
Maybe his parents (with whom he was still living) could have done something ahead of time to prevent this, and maybe they couldn’t. There’s not much a parent can do with grown kids — they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do.
Sadly, freedom does not come without its abuse, and the Second Amendment is no different. But nothing we do can prevent them being abused, and that’s just the tragedy of it.
And just to be clear on the topic: there neither is nor could be any new law which would have prevented this. Random assholes will always find a way to do their evil deeds, and that’s the truth of it.
Isn’t THAT Special?
In case you were wondering, yes: there is a noise in the background, and it is the sound of hoofbeats:
Why? Silly rabbits, this is the reason:
Made In Chelsea to become first UK show in TV history to broadcast three-way kiss between male throuple as Channel 4 hire ‘Queer Expert’ to oversee storyline
Every single phrase in that headline is appalling. And try as I may, I can’t even make a joke about it.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go and puke my guts out. And then go to the range.
Happy Anniversary
We interrupt today’s regular programming to bring you this news:
Nine years ago today, Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, MO.
The actual back story:
Brown was a criminal who strong-armed a local mini-mart then sucker-punched Officer Wilson, who was seated in his patrol car, and reached to steal Wilson’s service pistol, leading to the first shot. When Wilson exited the vehicle Brown made a second charge at Wilson, and who fired the fatal shot.
Just so we’re all clear on the facts of the matter.
