From Reader Paul W. comes this gem:
I see that the failure of the suicide watch is being blamed on (duh) a staff shortage in the federal prison system, and we’re supposed to believe that a guy with a 6″-thick black book containing several tons of dirt on famous people (like the Clintons) simply offed himself?
Every time I rethink my position on the death penalty — i.e. that maybe I should reconsider my support thereof — I somehow stumble across a story like this one:
A convicted killer who had already murdered one girlfriend was left free to kill a second following a catalogue of police and probation service blunders, a jury has ruled.
Paul O’Hara, 48, was on life licence after serving 15 years for killing a former partner when he met businesswoman Cherylee Shennan.
They began a relationship but within weeks manipulative O’Hara, who had been diagnosed with psychopathic traits in prison, began controlling and beating the 40-year-old mother of one.
Over the following months police missed several chances to stop the ‘high-risk violent predator’.
When unprepared and unarmed officers did finally go to Miss Shennan’s home, O’Hara attacked them before stabbing his girlfriend to death.
So basically, this murderous asswipe was out on parole when he killed Victim #2.
Everyone who favors the abolition of execution for murder is all “O noes, what about the innocent people wrongly convicted?” when in fact they should be all “O noes, what about the innocent people killed by assholes wrongly freed?”
It’s bullshit. Anyone convicted of murder should be locked away forever while the appeals process grinds on, then executed. There should be NO parole (or “life licence” — what a crock of shit) for convicted murderers, ever.
Unless, maybe, we go all Hammurabi and if a parole board releases a murderer who then goes on to murder someone else, then the members of the parole board responsible should also face life imprisonment (or execution — a.k.a. Full Hammurabi) for having allowed Murder #2.
And while I’m still in a charitable mood, why hasn’t convicted cop-killer Wesley Cook (alias Mumia Abu-Jamar) been executed yet?
Seems as though the Pantifa Brigade are looking to escalate the thing:
“How’s DC coming along? Cant fight if you cant see. I want to blind as many of you c— suckers as possible. A nice balloon filled with Muriatic acid, covered in wax will so do the job.”
My question: at what point will our so-called “law enforcement” agencies begin to actually treat this bunch of assholes like the terrorists they are? It’s not like they can’t be identified:
I’m thinking snipers on rooftops*, with carte blanche to shoot anyone wearing a mask who makes an overt act of violence. Tell me that this response wouldn’t end this shit immediately.
*That is, if D.C. SWAT can be wrenched away from the important job of serving warrants for unpaid parking tickets…
So here’s a cute little thing on Twatter:
What amuses me is that the people who post shit like this are not going to be the ones throwing bricks.
Okay. So if you’re going to resort to hurling dangerous-if-not-lethal objects at us, then you’ll have no problem with us using dangerous-if-not-lethal bullets against you?
I repeat, for the umpteenth time: are you Leftist lunatics absolutely sure you want to start down this road?
From the Daily Mail I see that Prince Ginger and Princess Caring-Slut, in a gesture of extreme virtue-signaling, are going to South Africa over the coming autumn:
British High Commissioner confirms royal tour and jokes couple will boost the economy – because there’ll be a ‘hat and frock-buying frenzy’
How precious.
Here’s a suggestion for the new parents: by all means go to South Africa, but leave your entire security guard detail behind every time you go out. Oh, and be sure to wear all those expensive jewels you’ve recently acquired.
The ensuing “frenzy” (of thieves going all robby, stabby, shooty and rapey) should be quite educational.

Apparently, the U.S. is not a safe place to be — in fact, there are 127 countries safer than ours.
I guess that it all depends.
Here in Plano, I see sights like this every morning in the pre-dawn hours — dozens of them, mostly jogging all by themselves, and I seriously doubt that you’d see much of this in, oh, Qatar (#31) or Oman (#69), let alone in Jamaica (#83).
Of course, I wouldn’t imagine you’d see many of the above in the South Side of Chicago or in Detroit, either, which just proves how dangerous averages can be.
What comes to mind immediately, by the way, is that according to the study, San Salvador and Honduras are ranked higher than the U.S. — begging the question as to why, then, thousands of their citizens are supposedly fleeing crime and persecution and flooding our southern border.
Actually, I call bullshit on the whole thing. Reason:
South Africa is ranked one place higher than the U.S., at #127.
While there may be safe and unsafe places in the U.S., there are no safe places in South Africa whatsoever. As I said: bullshit.
