A Cunning Ruse
And in somewhat surreal crime news:
Despite his efforts to feign girlishness and his use of the name Madison, Mr Alec Ray Craig, aged 27, found himself in the care of the Albany Police Department and Linn County Court, where fabulist pronouns are scrupulously observed by all parties:
Because in matters of this kind, what you need is more confusion. Further departure from reality.
At which point, readers may wonder whether jail might serve the not insignificant purpose of keeping a deranged paedophile away from his prey.
And local parents will doubtless sleep soundly. What with Mr Craig’s track record of observing boundaries. As when, in 2023, following his abuse of a minor, Mr Craig was given similar instructions, months before his attempt to once again mingle with schoolchildren.
And then of course there’s the assumption that one can rely on the promise of a 27-year-old man who is convinced he’ll be perceived as an adolescent girl.
Mr Craig, a participant in online fetish communities, refers to himself as a “femboi,” a “furry,” and a “therian,” the latter term denoting his supposedly non-human status:
Ah, that would explain it. It all makes sense now.
Lest anyone get the, er, wrong idea.
One might note the selectivity of the police, court and media in terms of which pretences are to be indulged with great diligence. Such that claiming to be a child, when you’re actually 27, to thereby gain sexual access to minors, is referred to as “pretending,” while claiming to be female, all physical reality to the contrary, is not.
Update, via the comments:
Regarding the curious leniency of the court, Dicentra adds,
That would at least explain why the go-to solution is the thing tried last time and which clearly didn’t work.
In turn, commenter Aitch cites this,
Adding,
While Rafi quotes the linked article,
And offers a summary:
And so, when local parents discover that a determined paedophile has once again been stalking children, and even trying to enrol in schools – supposedly as a girl, despite him being a 27-year-old man with facial hair – then none of those concerned parents must be allowed to know what the man in question looks like, or to know about his previous crimes – even though he’ll be loose again within days – and they must not be allowed to pass comment on his somewhat bizarre appearance.
Because that would be hateful, it seems. The very stuff of wickedness.
What a strange place we’ve arrived at.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
This blog is kept afloat by the tip jar buttons below.
This is so maddening. At first I wonder whether the judges are really so stupid that they can’t recognize a demonstrated PREDATOR, and then I have to concede that they do, but they don’t think such predation is really a problem.
Time to check some hard drives, methinks.
Or when the go-to solution is the thing you tried last time and which clearly didn’t work.
That.
Well, the thing starts like a twisted episode of Scooby Doo and quickly veers into something more reminiscent of Quatermass. One of the stories in which our hero slowly realises that everyone else – government ministers, magistrates, and the police – is behaving oddly because they’ve been possessed by some appalling alien influence.
Once they’ve broken that condition it should never be a sentencing option again.
Well, you’d think.
No mugshot. No comments allowed. Move along.
Chum-chum-chum-chum-chum . . .
That? Oh, that’s just the rotors of my imaginary helicopter warming up. The one where as a coping mechanism I am going to take “Madison” for a ride.
That could also be the sound of prepping the sharks for some long pig.
On the one hand, we have a delusional, cross-dressing 27-year-old paedophile who thinks he passes for a 15-year-old girl, despite his facial hair, and such that he attempts to enrol in high school.
On the other hand, we have legal professionals who insist on referring to this deranged man as a woman, and who think that asking him not to do what he’s already done, several times, is a sure-fire way of preventing it from happening again. As if the grudging assurances of such a man, the same assurances so recently broken, could be taken seriously.
In terms of perversity, it’s a closer call than you’d think.
Sharks in helicopters?
The pendulum is nearing the top of its swing, the backswing is going to be epic.
The tolerant left.
Bloody fucking morons. This happens because most people, even most conservatives who say that they are opposed to this sort of stuff, are bloody fucking morons. Suckers. See how often they use the word ‘unfortunate’ in these circumstances. Idiots.
A whole 20 days? That’ll teach him.
From the linked video:
As noted in the previous thread, in terms of sentencing, the professed inability to inhibit sociopathic impulses should of course be an aggravating factor, not a mitigating one. If Mr Craig is so deranged that he cannot help but violate the law and the terms of his probation, and cannot help but prey on children, that sounds like a pretty good reason to brick him up in a dungeon.
But hey, it’s all sparkles and kittens and ice cream.
Oh, and Pride, obviously.
Meanwhile in The Netherlands,
Truly a riddle fit for the Sphinx.
Objecting to one pretension while ignoring the other, egregious, pretension does nothing to foster respect for those institutions charged with enforcing and upholding the law.

An argument for more impositions of the death penalty.
Here’s the thing about these leagues allowing men in women’s sports…Outside of the Olympics and other international organizations like FINA or WBA/IBF or FIFA, what power do these leagues really hold? It should not be terribly hard for a real-women-only pool league or frisbee golf league or even tennis league to start up. It gets a little more complicated with team sports but not much more. And as for FINA, Olympics etc. that could be undercut. Anyone remember when Ted Turner pushed an alternative to the Olympics when the USA/USSR hosting conflict was going on back in the 80’s? It ceased to have a purpose at some point but the problem back then wasn’t as structural as the currently ongoing commitment to shove this trans idiocy down the world’s throat.
After church on Sunday we stopped for brunch at one of the more popular, well liked (don’t dare say anything bad about their grits) restaurants here in conservative…conservative Appalachia. Nice (well seemingly) attractive young lady waitressing had tattoos all around her neck. Better get used to them if you want to be considered “normal”. I never will.
‘How dare you not participate in my fraud!’
“I am not willing to join a men’s league where I would
have a disadvantage due to my medical transitionsuck harder than a intake on an F-22.”Slight correction, though he does seem to be saying the unsayable that men have an advantage over women.
Oh well, not like we can expect logic or consistency these days.

“Sexologist”, of course. This guy, all the “trans” and “pride” hawkers as well as the rest of the ilk – it is hard to imagine how utterly devoid of any sort of personality to have one’s life centered on nothing but one’s crotch.
From the article:
Again, in terms of sentencing, the claim of having no self-control, no ability to stop, should be considered an aggravating factor, not a mitigating one.
In short, we shoot mad dogs.
Another well reasoned, cogent argument from the left, “This is fucking Massachusetts!”, also not exactly a glowing recommendation.
“Hands Off” protests this past week: all bussed in and PAID protesters. They purposefully excluded most black protesters. They handed out cheat sheets to inform them of what the protest was for, in case asked. Astroturf all the way down.
The criminal cases cited here suffer from the belief that has taken over the legal system that their job is not enforcing the law but bringing about social justice. An insane turnabout of reality.
Just lie back and think of Eritrea.

Well, the not uncommon conceit – at least among progressives – that pretty much anyone can be fixed and made functional – if just given another chance, and another, and possibly another one after that – seems misplaced. And a cause of needless human suffering.
And so, for instance, three people can between them accumulate over 200 convictions for burglary.
Some people are just malevolent or broken. And dangerous.
As I said here,
Answers on a postcard, please.
Maybe the judge is unconcerned whether it happens again. Given the apathy toward the victims of “Asian” rape gangs, it would surprise me not at all.
I keep seeing conservatives saying this but we best not fool ourselves. Yes, there were paid protestors, as there always will be. Especially the professional organizers. However there were a great many angry anti-trumpers/elons/etc out there. I observed a few “friends” myself boasting about being out there waving signs, meeting up with friends. And I have seen other conservative-ish people who made the same observation. I also see a few Trump supporters and especially quasi-supporters wavering on their concerns about their 401k’s along with a lot of unnecessary and likely irrelevant and unfounded excuse making on the right. There is very little patience out there and this situation, if it ever can or will be resolved, will require a lot of patience. Reagan and Greenspan (Jimmy Carter’s not-quite saving grace) took a lot of heat over a much longer period of time just fighting inflation. And this tariff thing itself is only a part of the current inflation fighting effort.
Hopefully the market bounces back a little before the end of the week. It’s back a little bit today. Some of my recent buys are back above water. It would be nice to make a profit over this and rub it in some people’s faces. If doing such a thing makes you feel uncomfortable, from the conservative side you are part of the problem.
It could have gone a few miles west to Corvalis and gotten a pass.
Roughly?
One half.
At the most.
Volcker. Paul Volcker. Not Greenspan.
Greenspan’s high reputation as Fed chair was built on Volcker’s foundation.
Yes. Volker, dammit. I hate it when I do that. And it happens more and more lately. For some reason I say Greenspan when thinking of either Volker or Friedman. Added: I know by personality and reputation who is who but the name “Greenspan” sticks in my head.

How many did the malevolent little garden gnome buy?
Not much coverage of this incident and trial, but I did find this:
It is not clear if the woman followed the man to raise a hue and cry and get him arrested, or if she followed him to assault him–a legally important distinction.
That said, I’m always pleased when rapists die.
Actually, they celebrate being dysfunctional, neurotic, mentally ill, bizarre. So they identify the criminal as just “one of them”. Especially sexual criminals. We are not supposed to “judge” people and they are now extending this to rapists and pedos. So much tolerance…
Left out ‘unwelcome’.

The British must accommodate all other cultures, while those intruders are under no obligation to assimilate.
It’s amazing how he knows these things. And such confidence! Self-awareness, not so much.
Update on knife murderer Karmelo Anthony: Full arrest report. Damning.
Blacks can invade others’ spaces, can steal and harass and assault and destroy, but if anybody objects or tries to stop them they are “disrespecting” the black “kings” and “queens”.
It’s an easy guess that an outbreak would be an easily transmissible respiratory disease. And high morbidity correlates with “will get a lot of public attention”.
…But it also correlates with “The Chinese are working hard to perfect bioweapons”.
