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.

Silliness

Anti-Gun Nannies, Psychos

Here’s one that made me send an extra couple mags’ worth of ammo downrange yesterday:

President Trump has again threatened to take away Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship, as she has moved to Ireland and is in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship to become a dual citizen.

“As previously mentioned, we are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship. She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!” Trump posted.

And to think I once ridiculed Jimmeh Carter for getting involved in such minutiae as deciding White House parking privileges…

Dear POTUS:  why the fuck are you bothering with this kind of silliness?  Has the DOGE finished its job?  Have you done with Putin?  Are you going to make the Brits pay dearly for their anti-free speech activities?  Have you even started to address the dire state of the national debt, not to mention next year’s budget?  [200 more Presidential / CEO-type high-level issues deleted, for reasons of space]

Stop pissing around with the small stuff, and get serious about the important stuff.

And speaking of stupid shit… this one’s for AG Pam Blondie.

One of the several things that upsets me about the MAGA-Trump Administration is how they can forget that sometimes governmental action not only doesn’t work, but has been proven not to work in the past.  Take this next bit of foolishness, for example:

The Department of Justice is actively exploring a ban on gun possession for transgender individuals in the wake of a mass shooting at a Catholic school by a transgender gunman, Breitbart News reported, citing “multiple sources familiar with the matter.”

The Office of Legal Council has reportedly organized multiple meetings to explore the possibility of denying transgender people access to firearms on grounds of mental illness.

Sigh.

Just a little reminder:  gun bans don’t fucking work.  (If they did, there would be zero gun-related deaths and crimes in Britishland, to take but one example.)  Not only do they not work, but the cost of policing such bans is astronomical.

And just who, pray tell, is going to be the arbiter of “mental illness”?  You? A panel of “experts”?  The local school’s PTA?

Stop wasting your time with “multiple meetings” (because they too don’t work, and waste time withal).

Here’s something that has a far higher chance of success:

Order that all public schools maintain an armed and trained security force on the premises.

What we know for a fact is that even the psychos shy away from playing their little reindeer games when there’s a good chance they’ll be shot dead right before they take aim at someone, or right after they’ve fired their first shot / stabbed their first victim.  (Feel free to check the stats on this:  it will be a far better use of time than these multiple meetings, for starters.)

And to force the gun-fearing wussy school administrators (e.g. in California, New York and Illinois) to comply, make all federal funding dependent on the installation thereof.  (I mean, the Education Department exists for just such a reason, as opposed to promoting the ghastly LGBTOSTFU agenda in said schools with taxpayer money.)

But no, by all means go with what doesn’t work.  If nothing else, it will prove that government, whether conservative, MAGA or Screaming Commies, doesn’t have a fucking clue.

Not that we ever needed such proof.

Rock, Meet Hard Place Ep. 34

Crime, Morons & Idiots

Great Caesar’s bleeding eyeballs, how stupid can you get?

Most Democrats think that crime is a “major problem” in large cities, but they oppose sending National Guard troops to respond to the problem, according to a new AP-NORC poll.

Let me try to understand this.

Let’s leave aside the (quite-logical) assumption that Democrat government in our cities don’t really give a rat’s ass about the crime problem in their respective jurisdictions, and grant the point that they are trying to do something about the problem.

And failing.

I probably shouldn’t do this, but I’m also going to ignore the fact that the 2020 mostly-peaceful BLM demonstrations/riots led to appalling destruction of said cities, and Democrat city governments didn’t only try to quell the unrest, but basically encouraged it either by actual statements, or by inaction.

While that kind of lawlessness seems to have abated, what’s happened since is an appalling rise in violent crime:  muggings, murders, burglaries and so on have all rocketed skywards, and continue to do so.

However you frame the issue, one thing is crystal clear:  Democrat politicians can’t address the crime problem in the large cities.

What options, then, remain to anyone who actually does want to find a solution?

Well, during the aforesaid BLM riots, Trump 45 didn’t send in the National Guard, leaving it up to the local governments to deal with it.  And they didn’t.

Trump 47 recently sent in the Guard to clear up the crime problem in Washington D.C., and the city has, in the space of a couple weeks or so, become a safe place to live.  (Note that the only “opposition” to Trump’s intervention in D.C. has come from people — White Old Farts — who either don’t live there or else aren’t affected by the crime personally.  The actual — mostly Black — residents of D.C. are overjoyed that their city has become a safer place to live, and are not part of the demonstrations.)

So why, I ask, would Democrats oppose the same treatment for the rest of the crime-ridden cities?

Because it’s Trump doing the sending.  And Orange Man Bad.

Feckless fools, they are — both the Democrat politicians and their supporters.

Another Sick Asshole

Bad News, Psychos

So the sicko responsible for the recent Minnesota school shooting has been identified as some trannie or other.  Most notable about this sorry tale has been the response from both sides of the political debate.

To the Left, of course, it’s all about eeevil gunsgunsguns and How They Should All Be Banned.

To the non-Left, is just another example of how the Great Trannie Craze has unhinged kids’ minds.

I’m indifferent to both camps.  Of course, the “Bans Guns Now!” bullshit doesn’t work for me for all the usual reasons (stop me if you’ve heard them all before):  gun bans don’t work because evil people will always find a way to get them, and a universal gun ban would be impossible to implement and/or enforce, etc.

I’m also scornful of the “Trannie-ism Poisons Minds” mantra.  I mean, yes it might well do that — and there seems to be an awfully high percentage of recent mass shootings / stabbings recently committed by trannies, despite the efforts of the police and Leftists to disguise the trend — but the simple fact of the matter is that the cause of mental illness is largely irrelevant.  Some asshole might go on a spree because his girlfriend just left him, because he can’t get a girlfriend (the “incel” syndrome), because he recently got fired by the company where he ended up playing his reindeer games, because the victims are part of a group he hates, because a black dog told him to do it… or just because it was Thursday.

The reasons for the atrocity, therefore, are less important than the outcome of the the thing:  innocent people got killed or wounded by some sick asshole.  And looked at clinically, the weapons used (guns, knives, bombs, whatever) are largely irrelevant:  whatever the tool selected, bad things happened.

Everyone seems to be obsessed with discovering the motive of the sicko, when in fact the motive is irrelevant:  whatever drove the male/female/combination mass murderer to go all Texas Tower on innocent people, there’s not a whole lot we as a society can do about it.

And that’s the tragedy of the thing.  Bodyguards all over the place — whether the Secret Service, police or Rent-A-Cops — will tell you that the hardest situation to prepare for is the Random Sicko because he gets to pick the victim(s), the place and the time.

As I see it, the only way one can try to prevent the mass shooting/stabbing/clubbing event is to be alert, be prepared and to be armed — whether as individuals carrying a gun, or by extension as an organization employing an armed security service.  It may not be possible to prevent the atrocity, but it may be possible to contain it.

It really sucks that a Catholic school such as the one in Minneapolis should have to do the latter just to safeguard the children it’s looking after, and it sucks that I should have to carry a gun and three magazines to the supermarket on every visit, but that seems to be the way of the world these days.

Restraint

Heroism, Psychos

So apparently there’s a Good Guy With A Gun involved in the taking down of our loony stabber in Traverse City MI — not that you’d ever read or hear about it in the Messed-Up Media, of course.

Here’s Our Hero, and that’s the situation he found himself in.

Now good for him, in that he restrained himself from ventilating the nutcase.  (I’m not quite sure what’s going on with that hold on the gun, mind you, but whatever.)

Apparently, he told the loony to drop the knife “several times” before the asshole saw the light of reason and dropped the knife

I have to say that if I were in his situation, standing what looks like three or four feet away from the nutcase, I’m not sure that I would have acted the same.

He’s standing very much in range of a stabbing lunge, and as we all know, that’s way too close for comfort.

I may or may not have issued a “Drop the fucking knife!” order, but I sure as hell would have popped three into his chest after the first refusal to do so.  Standing close to a nutcase holding a bloodstained knife, with the screams of his victims echoing all over the place…

Like I said, the man showed admirable restraint.  Others might not have.

Oh, and semper fi, Marine.
