Some Pushback Required

Asshole Cops, Shootin' Time

Okay, here is where all my hackles start rising, and my sense of fair play starts to load up some spare magazines:

The UK’s West Midlands Police used fictitious evidence to justify its advice to ban Israeli fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team from attending a match in Birmingham last month, the force’s chief admitted to a parliamentary committee Monday, as MPs grilled police brass on the basis of their controversial decision.

The Aston Villa soccer club announced in October that no Maccabi fans would be allowed at a November match following a police assessment that classified the event as “high risk” and suggested banning Israeli fans from the stadium.

In the report presented to the club that suggested banning Israeli fans, police presented information about a 2023 match between Maccabi and West Ham, which the report said was the Israeli club’s “last appearance on UK soil to date.”

“The most recent match Maccabi played in the UK was against West Ham in the Europa Conference League on Nov 9, 2023,” the report read.

Well, fine, except:

However, no such match was played, and Maccabi has never faced off against the East London club.

Here’s the outcome I would like.  This asshole cop, and every single cop involved in this disgusting fabrication should be fired, stripped of their pension and benefits, and face charges of fraud (or whatever the official term for wrongdoing by a policeman may be).  Under Hammurabic Law, they’d all be executed for bearing false witness, but sadly, we’ve come a long way (too long a way) since then.

Basically, these dickless Tracys invented a reason to avoid a potential clash between two groups of people so that they wouldn’t have the responsibility of policing it.  And they could hide behind the fact that Maccabi are a Jooooz team, so who cares.

In the broader picture:  if these little shits can do this, any police force can, and most probably will.  (In totalitarian states they already have, multiple times.)

Disgraceful.

Changing The Rules

Anarchist thugs

Speaking of things that enrage me (admittedly, a very long list), we have this little situation:

Authorities have released of the name of the suspect accused of throwing Molotov cocktails into a federal building, adding that they believe he was “motivated by anti-immigration enforcement sentiment.”

The incident occurred on Monday, with the suspect identified as 54-year-old Jose Francisco Jovel. Authorities have released images showing the moment Jovel allegedly carried out his act.

Here’s the reason for my rage.

The first recorded use of said bombs was during the Spanish Civil War, when Nationalists threw them at the Soviet-supplied tanks of the Communistic Republicans.  The actual term “Molotov cocktails” was coined by the Finns as they battled the Soviets during the Winter War of 1939, and was actually used ironically, the target being the then-Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov.

Anyone else see a trend, here?

Let’s not put lace panties on this pork chop:  the Molotov cocktail is a weapon of war.  More to the point, it is a horribly-dangerous and malevolent weapon.  When it works, it is capable of setting fire to everyone and anything around it — an inflammable grenade, if you will.

Throwing a Molotov cocktail at a structure shows an intent to set the place on fire, endangering the lives of everyone inside.  Throwing a Molotov cocktail at a person or group of people shows an intent to burn someone to death.

So here’s my question.  How is it that when someone fires a gun at a building or a person, the rules of engagement for police (or the military) allows for the immediate shooting of said miscreant;  yet when someone lobs a Molotov cocktail, the response is (metaphorically) a shrug of the shoulders?

It’s wrong.

Let me tell you:  anytime a “protestor” is seen to be preparing a Molotov cocktail — that would be setting fire to the wick tied to the bottle’s neck — this action should be regarded as an act of war, and constitute grounds for a sniper or designated marksman to shoot the motherfucker dead on the spot, whether said tosser [sic]  has thrown the thing or not.

Let’s get back to our terrorist wannabe:

Bill Essayli, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, said in a statement that the building he targeted “houses our U.S. Attorney’s Office, ICE, and is where illegal immigrants are processed.”

“Jovel was targeting our immigration enforcement operations and wanted to send a political message,” he said.

“Thankfully, the devices did not ignite and no one was injured. Jovel was immediately arrested. Federal officers seized Jovel’s belongings and discovered five other Molotov cocktails,” Essayli, said, adding that Jovel is charged with “attempted malicious damage of federal property, and faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in federal prison and up to 20 years’ imprisonment. This is an ongoing investigation and we’ll be looking at adding additional charges.”

Wrong, wrong and again, wrong.  In the first place, the charges should include attempted murder — fuck that “damage of federal property” jive — and should carry a mandatory sentence of life without parole.

More important, however, is this.  Had there been an armed guard on duty at the establishment in question, the rules of engagement should have been such as to allow the guard to shoot this Jovel asshole at the very minute he lit the wick, or drew back his arm to throw the bomb.

And I want law enforcement’s rules of engagement changed to take care of this little reindeer game, immediately.

If you can’t shoot someone who is committing an overt act of war against you, who the hell can you shoot, then?

Quote Of The Day

QOTD

From Kruiser:

“It’s not just that Biden & Co. got so many things wrong — one expects that from Democrats — it’s that they got them so spectacularly wrong.”

And of course, so much effort is required by each and every incoming Republican administration to fix the mess (diplomatic, defense, social policy, economics — oy, the list goes on and on) before starting on any positive work.

Two (or three, or four) steps backwards each Democrat administration, half a step forward with the Republicans, then a single step forward again (if we’re lucky) — and then the ungodly get back into power by the usual means (fill in the blanks) and the whole horrible pattern starts all over again.

Small wonder that the U.S. is so much a failing neo-socialist state despite our economic strength.

And our only hope is that the Trump administration manages to get a few steps forward before the cataclysm so that the ungodly have to spend time trying to undo what he did — putting them on the back foot, for a change.

Hey, I can dream, you know.

Immorality Punished

Psychos

I for one am glad that Lawn Ordure are at last taking this kind of thing seriously:

Eleanor Brown, 22, spent the past year locked up behind bars after sharing explicit images of her policeman father’s former mistress to an escort website, where she even created a fake profile of the woman.

Brown also sent racy photos of her father’s ex-lover to her victim’s husband, and exposed the affair – which had taken place years earlier – to her daughter. 

No doubt this heartless bitch thought that there was some justification for her to do so appalling a thing, or maybe she just did it for spite:  I neither know nor care.

What I am glad of is what happened to her:

But her revenge plan backfired when police were called in, and the young woman lost her job, home, and her six-year relationship.

In October 2024, Leeds Crown Court sentenced Brown, from Morley, West Yorkshire, to three years in prison. This was then reduced to two years on appeal.

Brown, described by a judge as ‘vindictive, selfish and vengeful’ served just 12 months before being released on license and she now has to wear an electronic tag on her ankle.

Speaking to The Sun, she explained that she regrets her decisions, but insists that at the time she did not realise that she was breaking the law.

Of course, she’s tried to dismiss it all as a harmless bit of fun:

‘I now realise how terrifying it must have been for the woman, but I was never on a mission to cause maximum harm. I was just poking fun and I ended up in prison,’ she said.

She should have been whipped at the post before being imprisoned, the foul bitch.

People who screw with others’ private lives need to be severely punished, and not excused.

And that includes ex-lovers who do this kind of thing to “get back” at their erstwhile partners, or just out of jealousy.  Les crimes passionels  are inexcusable in any way shape or form, regardless of what the French — no examples of morality, they — may think.

And acts of pure spite (like this one) need chastisement (like this one).

As If We Needed Reminding

Shootin' Time

Ask me again why I always carry when leaving the house — and especially when going shopping:

Terrified mall-goers ran for their lives on one of the busiest shopping days of the year after a gunman opened fire in West San Jose, California.

Horrifying videos and photos showed shoppers in Westfield Valley Fair Mall taking cover and running for shelter at around 5.40 pm local time on Black Friday.

Hundreds of bargain-hungry customers ran for the nearest exits or hid behind piles of clothing and mannequins as panic swept through Westfield.

More footage showed people flooding the sidewalks and escaping past a storefront with shattered glass strewn onto the pavement outside the mall.

Police confirmed that three victims, two adults and a 16-year-old girl, sustained gunshot wounds and have been taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Then, of course, there’s the usual useless advice:

Security advisor Patrick Fiel, the founder of PVF Security Consulting, told the Daily Mail that people should be especially cautious while holiday shopping.

‘Being extra vigilant this holiday season will help keep you safe. Always trust your instincts and report any and all suspicious activity,’ he warned. 

‘Law enforcement agencies across the nation have reported an increase in calls during the holiday season, which is partially attributed to shoppers placing greater emphasis on gift selection rather than personal safety.’ 

In the event of an active shooter, Fiel has advised the public to ‘run, hide and fight.’  

‘Getting away from the attacker is the top priority. Leave your belongings behind and get away,’ he wrote. 

If you are unable to evacuate, Fiel said to look for a solid place to hide, preferably somewhere with a barrier between you and the attacker. 

Fighting the assailant is the absolute last resort. But in the face of danger, Fiel has urged people to be ‘aggressive.’

‘Recruit others to ambush the attacker with makeshift weapons like chairs, fire extinguishers, scissors, books,’ he suggested.

Books?  Well, they say that the pen is mightier than the sword;  but I’d take nine rounds of .45 ACP over a thousand words, any day of the week.  And the only assistance I need is for people to stay out of the line of fire.

But maybe I’m being too aggressive and stuff.  Far better to cower in some store and hope the asshole doesn’t choose me for a victim.

“Security advisor”, my aching African-American ass.

Just Camouflage

Taxes and Theft

You may recall that the loathsome former NYfC Mayor Bloomberg once declared war on super-sized drinks in that poxy city because people were getting too fat from the drinking thereof, or something.  So as an actual ban would essentially be unenforceable, he slapped a consumption tax on them.

How nice:  promote health while raking in the dollars.  (I’m sure the latter had no bearing on his action, of course. [eyecross] )

I was reminded of this when I read that the equally-loathsome British Labourite Wes Streeting has slapped a tax on sugary drinks.  (Okay, he just extended and raised the “temporary” tax on food on this particular category, but the effect is the same.)

The oily little shit then made this nauseating statement:

“This government will not look away as children get unhealthier,” the Health Secretary told the Commons.

Makes you want to give him a swift slap, dunnit?

And as with Bloomberg, the poison is in the details, as the tax may raise as much as £45million a year or more for the Treasury.

What about all those obese children?

Whitehall’s own estimates suggest it will only trim 0.3kcal off the daily intake of 5 to 10 year olds and 0.4kcal off 11 to 18 year olds.

Well, there ya go, then.

What I really love is all the contortions necessary to make all this happen:

The change will affect packaged milkshakes and coffees, but not drinks made in cafes and restaurants.

The exemption for milk-based drinks will be replaced with a ‘lactose allowance’ to account for the natural sugars in the milk component of the drinks.

I’m thinking that HMG could save a lot more than £45million a year by just firing all the goblins involved in implementing and enforcing all these tax minutiae, but no doubt that might be seen as too simplistic.

Whether control freaks like Bloomberg or unctuous figures like Streeting, they’re all just bastards.
