He Was Expecting Free Hits
Readers may recall this unhappy scene, mentioned here, part of a spree of racially targeted Seattle home invasions:
The day is coming when thugs like this will be shot by angry homeowners or neighbors, and no one will give a shit, because it would have improved life for everybody. https://t.co/lrz5KGBO81

In a more cheering turn of events, the perpetrators, five black men and one black teenager, were recently apprehended and charged with no fewer than fourteen similar crimes, the victims of which were all of East Asian ancestry:
Hey, it’s an easy mistake to make. Accidentally putting on a balaclava and stalking someone, based on their race, then menacing them, and tasing them, and tugging the wedding ring from their twitching finger, and then barging into their home and taking their stuff. And then doing it all over again, and again, and again, all entirely by accident. I mean, who here hasn’t done it?
And as we’ve been told, repeatedly, from on high, the creatures who do such things are just like us.
Only more downtrodden and deserving of sympathy.
Needless to say, most of the suspects have extensive criminal histories and over a dozen prior convictions for assault, burglary and robbery, plus numerous other charges for domestic violence, animal cruelty, and driving without a licence. One suspect, a Mr Javez Tubbs, has been the subject of 30 warrants since 2006.
Fourteen firearms were found in the gang’s possession.
What catches the eye, however, is this brief exchange between the sixteen-year-old home invader and the judge:
Judge: “I’m not letting you out.”
Accused: “Why not?”
Judge: “Why not? Maybe you should ask [your attorney].”
Or,
I paraphrase, of course. Though not, I think, outrageously.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
They know which party runs the city.
Heh!
I like it. Would have been better with accents.
A city so steeped in progressivism that apparently the Greens and even the Freedom Socialist Party have fared better than Republicans.
One for any passing autogynephiles.
Attention Americans. The Queen could NOT care less.
And no, that green-mumbling, spider-writing, consort-shagging, bribe-washing, big-eared fop is no king of mine.
Total coincidence. Nothing to see here.
Rolling over from the previous post – Why Was a Violent, Gender-Confused Boy Allowed to Stay in Portland School After Beating up Girls? (Repeatedly)
Well, according to Superintendent Sue Reiki-Smith it’s all YOUR fault for noticing.
Not wrong.
3 strikes. Seriously.
Health officials, you say?
I believe you mean “Health” officials.
Possibly “Health” “officials”.
Meanwhile in Maine, another day, another thing that never happens.
I repeat my suggestion of a Three-Strikes-And-We-Put-You-Out-To-Sea-On-A-Fucking-Raft policy. It would, I suspect, be quite popular, not least among the many victims of such feral predation, and it would also have the advantages of being both more cost-effective than current arrangements and more morally apt.
Health officials, you say?
The problem seems to be too many unprotected tools, not a lack of available prophylaxis.
Amazing that the various bacteria can tell the difference.
Who cares about resistance issues, RMSF, or other rickettsial diseases like typhus and Q Fever, we have unprotected sex to protect.

And I repeat my recommendation of “Progressive Sentencing” (I know, I know, the adjective is irretrievably tainted) in which criminals get to re-serve any and all previous sentences from which they failed to learn their lessons.
Cue Darleen telling us that “it’s waycist” or “but ma double jeopardy“.
Obviously neither of our glorious plans will work in an environment in which certain criminal types don’t get prosecuted anyway. To the extent that they are genuinely surprised when they aren’t immediately sent home by the judge.
That doesn’t sound like Darleen. Have I missed something?
Well, there is that. Which is, I suppose, an argument for such creatures being shot, preferably in the head, by the people on whom they prey, or by an obliging neighbour. As suggested in the original Tweet.
My point, of course, is that if someone shows, many times, that they utterly disdain the law-abiding – say, by menacing them, assaulting them, violating their homes, and stealing their stuff, over and over again – then it seems entirely fair, and indeed an imperative, to replay the compliment, decisively. Not least to avoid further predation upon the innocent, which matters rather more than whether or not habitual violent criminals fare well upon choppy seas.
That doesn’t sound like Darleen.
Indeed not.
Problem is they might drift back. Better to do a sociological experiment and dump them all on an isolated island that has enough tools and supplies for subsistence farming and see if they can develop some vague semblance of a civilization or just go full Lord of the Flies on each other.
Seeing as how they seem too stupid not to commit crimes in full view of various doorbell and other cams, video cameras can be set up and the whole thing Pay-Per-View to defray costs of the basic load of supplies and and parachuting them onto the island.
You have my attention.
Judge: “I’m not letting you out.”
Well whaddya know – the judge looked inside his tights and found his walnuts.
Of course the media and I guess the cops too haven’t found theirs though (and the media never will) – so quick to cry “Hate Crime!” when one of their pets is on the receiving end of something less than acclamatory, but when their pets go on a targeted rampage, crickets.
I may have made up the “waycist” bit 😉
Careful now. That’s how we ended up with Australia!
And we all know how that turned out.

Fair point, but there they had abundant flora, fauna, and the advantage of Indigenous Ways of Knowings™ to guide them as they did walkabouts in the outback and gollumbuck.
I was thinking something more on the lines of Pitcairn’s Island or Tristan da Cunha
The proposed new senator from California. Or should I say for California. We’re not really sure what state she is a resident of. In fact we don’t even know when she was born.
Once again, we have professional criminals with a dozen CONVICTIONS out on the street. WTF. This is what 3 strike laws were designed for.
I’m just going to leave this here for no reason whatsoever.
That’s a different story from the usual type of the sexual bully cornering girls in the locker room. This MtF seemed to have a girl gang egging him on and recording videos. Was his beating up a girl conventional toxic masculinity, or was it the sassy kickass kind of femininity where girls physically attack other girls that they have beefs with? Whichever kind of toxic it was, it was being endorsed by real girls, the passers-by didn’t seem too shocked by it, and he seemed pretty certain that he could do it in a hallway with lots of people milling about and not have to worry about somebody intervening. Weird and disturbing in lots of ways.
Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
Their Freudian slip is showing.
With a baseball bat.
Why waste money on a raft?
Why waste the money on tools and supplies?
We know the important bit – she funnels lots & lots of money to the Democrat Party.
If the crimes don’t result in felony convictions then no big deal. So the judges get to put their thumbs on the scales. If the juries never bother to convict then they can put their thumbs on the scales. If the prosecutors never bother charging felonies then they’ve put their thumbs on the scales. If the governor or his agents in the prison system decide a COVID outbreak in the prisons is more dangerous than turning a few thousand convicted felons loose on the public then they’ve put their thumbs on the scales. And if you’re living in Seattle then the odds of one or all of these things happening approaches certainty.
Not the Great Leap Forward I’m used to thinking of.
66 strikes and counting.
That raft is looking pretty good right now.
Swedish PM seeks help from military as gang violence rocks country
Oh my goodness no! What could have happened?
Climate change I bet.
Flash flood mobs. It’s raining hand grenades. Rising C-4 levels!
Shot.
Chaser.
I suspect there’s a carefully unfinished line of thought there. As in, what, I wonder, could possibly be the cause of this new, wildly atypical, totally-out-of-the-national-character dysfunction? A dysfunction that just so happens to coincide with certain progressive policies regarding mass immigration from less fragrant parts of the world, and which is concentrated in predominantly immigrant suburbs.
Ditto the supposedly informative article linked above, in which the bombings and executions and general mayhem are mentioned in oddly coy terms. One of the gangs is named, though the very non-Swedish names of its principal members, and the similarly non-Swedish names of rival gang members, are not disclosed. As is the lack of pale skin and blond hair.
Lest we get the wrong idea, presumably.
Indeed, we have to turn to the Daily Mail to find an acknowledgement of the thing that we aren’t supposed to think about, and in which the Swedish Prime Minister and an Uppsala police official are quoted using the forbidden words “irresponsible immigration policy,” “failed integration,” and “naivete.”
Sorry, no. Nothing’s coming to mind.
Ah, now I get it.
You mean it wuz Putin? Russia Russia Russia!
Well, I suppose that’s the intent. As others have noted, mainstream news coverage of these things is often so coded, with so many careful omissions of relevant details that have to be searched out elsewhere, it gets a little surreal. Such that “gang,” like “youths,” is now a kind of political euphemism.
Meanwhile in Wisconsin…
I’m struggling to think of anything to add.

It is a challenge. Yelling and screaming obscenities have been around forever, but thinking jerking off is going to influence someone to change their mind about a political matter takes a whole new level of derangement. I suppose openly having sex (with a partner) and activities involving elimination are the next level of discourse worthy of Cicero his own bad self.
Of course the old saw about “What if they were a panel of leftist blacks” is always in play.
Meanwhile, a touch more info regarding Karl’s murdered “liberal journalist”…
Oh, so maybe not just an everyday Philly murder.
I doubt it’s about persuasion. As we’ve seen so many times, it’s just a nasty, screeching id.
The American Anthropological Association (AAA) and the Canadian Anthropology Society (CAS) offer their expert opinion on the thorny question of “Why biological sex remains a necessary analytic category in anthropology”
I’m inclined to think that the process of randomly pairing up humans and seeing which sex classifications produce more, smaller, humans is pretty reliable.
But then, I’m no “expert”.
“We need male allies.” ‘We’? Does he have a (female) mouse in his pocket? This event, males identifying as females, crashing a women’s tech conference is just…so…
Boys in the girl’s showers? This “lawmaker” has a solution worthy of Solon.
If I may draw your attention to today’s offering.
66 strikes and counting.
At the very end of the article, this:
66 strikes! Yet – “unavoidable”? “Who could have seen it coming?” Helen freakin Keller could have seen it coming.
Oddly no calls for stricter gun laws, though. Just throw up the hands and blame the limits of proactive policing. Funny how policing doesn’t work if the AG just lets ’em go.
Surely Argentina has some leftover helicopters.
Tasers come to mind.
Wasn’t there a Scandinavian group with the name of ‘F*** for the Forest’ that did something like that. And let’s not forget ‘P*ssy Riot’ in Russia.
… males identifying as females, crashing a women’s tech conference …

Male Asian strivers outstriving female Asian strivers.
Right. 0.4% don’t fit the model so we have to throw out the model.
Of course there are.
Here’s one: If any of your body’s cells’ chromosomes contain the SRY gene then you are male. Otherwise you are female.
There are certainly other reasonable biological standards which would categorise some individuals as neither male nor female, but to claim there are none which won’t is anthropological ignorance. Ironically.
Found a while ago online.
Something to remember, here…
Most of the liberal BS is grafted on to both Oregon and Washington, thanks to all the fruits and nuts from California and back East that gravitated here. The actual locals who are native to the two states are entirely different creatures.
Remember that Oregon actually banned blacks of any sort entering it, back in the day. Having observed Bloody Kansas, they wanted none of that acrimony over slave or free state. Oregon was also in the forefront of the Chinese exclusion movement. There’s a fairly strong thread of outright racism in the state, particularly in the rural areas. It’s not the sort of “KKK racism” that you might think, but it’s more the “We don’t want that sort of trouble” racism. Semi-pragmatic, in other words… Not to defend that, of course. Just an observation.
In both states, the urban areas were colonized by the outsiders, who came to dominate them. The rural areas, particularly the eastern parts? Quite different places economically, politically, and culturally.
Now, what I would point out for folks not from around here? There are an abundance of ways for someone to disappear, and never, ever be seen again. There are reasons that we have such prolific serial killers, and such a lot of trouble catching them. The landscape is heavily forested on the western slope of the Cascades, offering an awful lot of isolated places to allow nature to take its course. Wilderness is a short drive from anywhere, and you’d be shocked as a European to realize just how isolated you could be, were someone to say, chain you to a tree a few yards off the interstate. Or, chuck you into a snowbank, were it winter.
The eastern portions of both states are considerably more arid, but they’re also less populated and full of old, disused mines. You and your car could easily vanish, never to be seen again until someone decides to go exploring the mineshaft you were dropped into. There are also an awful lot of lakes and rivers.
The upshot of all this is to say that when the saturation point is finally reached, that Timisoara moment, the odds are pretty good that a lot of people are going to find that unmarked unconsecrated resting place out in the sticks. And, not by choice, either…
I won’t lay odds on whether or not the set of idiots enabling all of this might be joining their pets, either. People are getting pissed; many of the country folk remember the urban idiocrats destroying their livelihoods in favor of the sainted Spotted Owl, which turns out to be a crock of BS. The nature lovers in government are now hiring people to shoot the Barred Owls, which turn out to be rather better at being owls than the spotted variety. People have noticed this, and other things. They seethe, silently, observing the forests burn because nobody is harvesting the timber or clearing the brush, in the name of “Nature”.
There will be a denouement at some point. It won’t be pretty. I ain’t going to predict where or when it will start, but there are a lot of signs that the social pressure is building.
Of course, the whole thing may be moot. Should the Cascadia Fault subduction earthquake of 1700 repeat itself, most of western Oregon and Washington are going to spend an interregnum of anarchy before any sort of communications are re-established. Nobody is really prepared to deal with the aftermath, either. It will be interesting to observe… I expect the urban areas to revert to a Lord of the Flies sort of situation, particularly where they have been building on top of hills like the one at Oso a few years back. The world is gonna have a lot of fun observing that particular cluster-fark, because I guarantee you it’s going to be epically ugly. Hosts of other things could happen, as well… Mt. Rainier could go off, the faults along the Straits of Juan de Fuca could let go, or… Well, you get the point: Seattle and Portland might well get the Sodom and Gomorrah treatment. Which will leave a bunch of us on the east side of the Cascades sad, but entirely unsurprised. The stupid bastards deserve it, the way they’re behaving.
