Another bucolic scene from the City of Brotherly Love.
Unhappily, they were not subsequently compressed into paste or sold for parts.
I kind of like the idea of sticking their heads on spikes in the town square. Including the “juveniles”.
Another bucolic scene from the City of Brotherly Love.
A commenter says he says something about his victims being Christians, but I cannot be sure. Others claim he must be mentally ill. Regardless, he needs to be removed or put down. Permanently. And then let’s talk about his enablers and defenders.
Speaking of dangerous malevolent lunatics, Bradley Manning is trans.
He’s not wrong, you know…
Another bucolic scene from the City of Brotherly Love.
Hmm…interesting neighborhood they’re walking through. At night. Three slightly overweight white women. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the only other person who appears fits the same general demographic as the perp. Alleged perp. Let’s consider the odds here. It’s urban Philadelphia. Nothing about those women says Trump-voter to me. They look like typical urban white women Democrats who voted for this shit and, more than anybody, deserve to get it good and hard.
Hawaii teacher and Philadelphia teacher take that (younger) brotherly love bit a tad too literally, but previously he had thoughts.
Meanwhile in Blighty, a grave injustice has been found.
but previously he had thoughts.
Note the verbal jujitsu regarding projection. The left and especially the media…birm…have been playing this game for decades. Yet conservatives..”conservatives” fail to call them out on it. Because conservatives…”conservatives” love losing.
“I’d bet money this started out as a bar bet and now he’s just riding it to see how far he can push it. He’s clearly enjoying the extent to which he can make people go along with this.”
If he turns up on Project Veritas, I won’t stop laughing for a week.

Self-styled progressives often struggle with the notion that members of Designated Victim Groups may exploit that protected status in ways that are deeply unpleasant. As if indulging people with endless excuses and double standards, and immunity from normal criticism, could only ever result in fragrant scenarios. The entire history of human nature to the contrary.
The idea that some will actively seek out and cultivate that Designated Victim Group status precisely to indulge in obnoxious, predatory, or criminal behaviour – and will lie and manipulate others precisely because they are so often spared normal pushback – seems even harder for some to process, practically taboo. Despite the frequency with which it happens.
Also, lefties project.
“Illegal immigrants have more right to be here than those who were born here.”
Seems like someone the UK would be better off without.
Yet again: How nature says ‘stay away’.
“Grooming is important.”
That’s what my kid’s elementary school teacher said!
“Grooming is important.”
And delicious!
“It’s the latest thing. All the hominids are doing it.”
Seems like someone the UK would be better off without.
Only two kinds of Europeans according to Femi: (1) anchor babies (spiritual if not literal), (2) non-Europeans who’ve unilaterally chosen to turn up.
It’s hard to fully accept that anchor babies are European without wanting to think that Europeans are anchor babies, or should be, in terms of their identities and loyalties: possessors of paperwork granting them a privileged lifestyle just for happening to be within a grid reference at the moment of birth, no compelling reason for national attachment or pride, an individual’s connection to a people (“all you did was tumble out of someone”) and a people’s connection to a land (“who happened to be on UK soil”) not being allowed to matter . Whether Femi was a literal anchor baby or just has the mentality of an anchor baby, he wants all Europeans, regardless of ancestry, to think of themselves as such.
And if Europe is just a grid reference and Europeanness is just a matter of paperwork, then you must be all the more European if you come a long way to the grid reference and jump through hoops for the paperwork.
Never forget that the people who founded America did more more and risked more to be here than the Native American, so-called. All they did was tumble out of someone who happened to be on the soil of the New World…again, so-called.
Never forget that the people who came from Europe to South Africa and other parts as well, built more, worked harder and smarter than Africans ever have. All they did was tumble out of someone who happened to be on African soil.
Never forget…
Vibrant Chicago.

A lady speaks.
Although to be honest this also looks like it started as a bar bet.
You know what else started with a couple of guys drinking together?
Rome.

Living proof that “Whose Streets? Our Streets” is not just a slogan, it’s a fact.
More Finnish weirdness
News report, in Finnish, here.
Something error happen.
Feral subhuman taunts police: “I’ve got two guns but you can’t stop and frisk“.
This is the intended result of leftist “reform”. Not accidental at all.
Meanwhile in New Orleans, the mayor celebrates Juneteenth by revealing a “sculpture”.
A @504CubsFan questions whether this was a good use of funds given the crime rate in NOLA, he get a reply…
Right, I can hear the gangbangers guns being thrown away right now.
Damnit, I missed the parade and cookout.

Why would someone be proud of being autistic (or gay or whatever)? The question is bizarre. Not feeling ashamed – all well and good – is not the same thing as feeling pride. Pride, lest we forget, being a conspicuous satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements, or the achievements of associates, loved ones, etc.
[ Edited for clarity. ]

They’re “neurodivergent”, and there’s nothing bad about being different. We “neurotypicals” are just intolerant in our refusal to embrace diversity. It’s not for the “neurodivergent” to learn how to get along with everyone else, it’s the obligation of the normal people to bend over backwards to accommodate the abnormals. I have encountered that “reasoning” not just from anonymous internet critters but from local autistics who are so dysfunctional that they cannot hold a job and cannot keep friends: They are insulting, confrontational, rude even to those who reach out when they ask for help. It is a grave disservice to autistic people to cater to dysfunctionality.
Anoter view of the mayor’s “sculpture”, and the beagle is spot on, the mayor, not so much, unless that is how she spells “emetic”.
Of course if that mess had been done by a yte she’d be screaming about the racist stereotype.

Autistic pride: advocates for the autistic these days insist that the autistic are simply “neurodivergent” and don’t need help. Tell that to the kid who cannot speak and bangs his head on the wall. These “spokespeople” have in many places lobbied for an end to sub-minimum wage jobs for the autistic or retarded, which means they have no job and no dignity at all. It makes the advocates feel good and ruins lives.
In the late 19th century and early 20th, “insane asylums” were established. They were intended as asylum in the proper sense as a safe place for people who could not function in the real world. They had simple agriculture for employment and a simple, regulated daily life which provided structure. They had no real meds. Many were very pleasant. Over time some became over-crowded and decrepit. With the advent of anti-psychotic meds, it was believed that you could just give people meds and let them free. Hence most of the asylums were closed down. There is a large fraction of this population, however, who are incapable of sticking to meds, abuse drugs, or are simply not life-functional. Meds are also not always a true cure. All end up on the street. We need asylums.
the autistic are simply “neurodivergent” and don’t need help.
Say what? I will grant that those on the spectrum are “neurodivergent” to greater & lesser degree, but I will lay dollars to donuts that those claiming they don’t need help have NO skin in the game.
I have an Asperger grandson would needed the support of IEPs and a speech therapist during his grade & middle school years. He has little problem functioning well in society even though he still struggles with social cues.
On the other hand, my SIL’s son from a previous marriage is severely autistic – non-verbal so he was also taught American sign for communication. He will never be able to live outside of supervision, say in a group home.
My late sister-in-law was somewhere in between. She was closer to high functioning Down’s syndrome — physical and cognitive issues. But she was bright (oriented to time and place), engaging and fiercely independent as much as she could be. She held a part-time job, had an apartment with her boyfriend (a similarly disabled peer) and was supported by family and regularly visiting social worker. She couldn’t drive but she sure mastered the art of getting anywhere she wanted on San Diego’s bus system.
And I know so many other families with disabled members who only thrive with the help of family and professional support systems.
Holy frijoles, there’s an old bit from Married with Children where neighbor Steve starts working at the zoo and one night decides to “rescue” the turtle mascot and release him into the wild of Lake Michigan — only later finding out it was an ocean turtle and he just killed him.
I want to throat punch these advocates.
but I will lay dollars to donuts that those claiming they don’t need help have NO skin in the game.
One of the most severely autistic individuals in my extended social circle has been one of the loudest saying such things: He is so screwed up that I expect he will eventually be living on the street, and yet he insists that it is the “neurotypical” people who must change to accommodate him. Sigh.
He is so screwed up that I expect he will eventually be living on the street
Dayum. I suspect that some advocate ill-served him by putting that notion in his head.
And that’s why I also can’t stand the
homelessunhoused advocates who do everything possible to KEEP our streets looking like third world garbage dumps. They are using the severely addicted and mentally ill for their own political agenda, screw the individuals who die on the streets.And to all the fine dads out there, Happy Father’s Day. I hope you’re being spoiled with slightly burnt eggs and toast served in bed, hand-drawn with crayons portraits & coupons for hugs and promises of no whining or nagging. At least for one day 😉
Seriously, though. As the whole idea of parenting is rapidly going from “uncool” to “dismantled”, that you hang in there to raise good kids is invaluable and worthy of celebration much more than one day a year.
Thank you.

The 2nd and 4th amendments are “leftist reform” now?

I don’t wish to speak for pst314, however, I took the line to mean that it is the unnecessary confrontational taunting of LEOs for social media shits&giggles that goes to being raised in a Leftist barn, not the fact of Constitutional carry.
Quoting our illustrious host: “Why would someone be proud of being autistic (or gay or whatever)?” I have been asking myself this question all month. I get not being ashamed and I’m all for tolerating different ideas and lifestyle but why do I have to celebrate what someone does with their genitalia? If I was into necrobeastiality, I wouldn’t expect you lot to celebrate my urges. I said if by the way. Oh yes: happy Father’s Day to you dads out there.
The link I posted showed that the feral youth of Philadelphia increasingly do not fear the police. And it seems that prohibitions of “stop and frisk” have gone so far that the police cannot take action even when a punk says that he is an armed felon.
Every day we see videos of violent punks and thugs committing mayhem with impunity because the police and good citizens are hamstrung by “progressive” laws and interpretations of laws.
Quoting our illustrious host: “Why would someone be proud of being autistic (or gay or whatever)?”
Because the more damaged and dysfunctional they are, the more unhappy they are about their state, and the more they compensate by demanding public approval.
I’ve known a lot of “odd” people over the years, and they were a lot easier to get along with before this fad for mandatory praise.
“Something error happen.”
‘Course, nowadays he’d have lost his job, his bank account, been kicked off “social media”, and arrested before he had a chance to explain. And the explanation would be dismissed as an excuse.
the police cannot take action even when a punk says that he is an armed felon.
There’s still nothing illegal or actionable about telling the police that you are currently in possession of things it is entirely legal for you to possess, and that they are not allowed to search your person without a warrant.
Pennsylvania requires no permit or registration to own a handgun and is a “shall issue” state. A man walking up to police and declaring that he is concealed carrying is not probable cause for anything unless he is known to the police and known to be a convicted felon.
I don’t know why “stop and frisk is a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment” is such a difficult concept.
If he turns up on Project Veritas, I won’t stop laughing for a week.
Now that FINA has banned men competing in women’s swimming, I’m waiting for him to show up with a suit jacket and a haircut at a press conference and say “I apologize for the subterfuge, but something had to be done. To my former teammates and female swimmers everywhere: you’re welcome.”

It was a joke, dude. Lighten up.
I’ve long since accepted that Western society is past the point of no return, which is why I’m currently executing my exit.
It was a joke, dude. Lighten up.
Yeah. I took it that way the first time. As you repeated it, I wasn’t quite so sure. In our current environment…well, this is how we got here. I know I am redundant as hell on this but for decades I would point things out in this regard to conservatives…”conservatives”, especially when I was much younger, only to be patted on the head and told either 1) it’s a joke (when quite clear to me but not them that it was not a joke), we don’t take these people seriously or 2) don’t worry about it (when it was clear to them that it indeed was not a joke), no one takes these people seriously. It will all go away. Like magic. Because God’s in charge. Or logic. Or reasons. Or faith in some other damned thing. And here we are.

And who is doing it? Ghetto lowlifes who we can be confident have criminal records.
Ghetto lowlifes who we can be confident have criminal records
Just like those truckers with their incessant criminal honking.
Seriously, if after the last two years you’re having trouble understanding why giving the police unfettered search and seizure powers is a bad idea I don’t know what to tell you.
why yes Oberstleutneut, they’re in the attic
Not like those truckers, you ass. Do you really want to compare those punks to the Canadian truckers?
Not unfettered, for goodness sake.
I, by the way, have had to deal with or try to avoid violent ghetto thugs for many years.
But if you’re going to call me a Nazi Obersleutnant (spelling corrected) then I am done talking to you.
