One would hope that someone who tried to foment violence against people whose politics he doesn’t like would get to spend a good long while looking at gray walls and gray bars, but I guess we’ll find out soon enough:

Actor Jussie Smollett found guilty of lying to police in hate crime hoax

Heh.

And let us not forget the people who enabled and supported him in his criminal activities:

Kid shoots up a school: national news, political fodder for weeks.

Illegal immigrant serial killer kills 18 *or* *more* people: flies under the radar.

Billy Chemirmir

He was recently tried for 18 murders, and it was declared a mistrial because one of the jurors refused to convict.

Here are some of the women he killed:

And here he is:

Gotta wonder why this story isn’t national-newsworthy.

Hmmm. Why does “Waukesha” suddenly come to mind?

Cultural enrichment in Minneapolis.

Deportations all around!

Mob invades apartment in Minneapolis, beats woman and her mother

Here’s the kicker:

Unconfirmed reports circulated on social media suggest that the young woman who was the target of this invasion and attack earned the ire of the mob by accusing a man who is friends with the mob of sexually assaulting her. It appears that the woman who was attacked leveled this accusation on TikTok, where both her and the man she named have a notable presence in the Minneapolis area.

So a bunch of women attacked another woman because that woman claimed to have been sexually assaulted. Which means that the group of women set out to protect someone accused of sexual assault. That’s *special.*

You get more of what you subsidize.

Most of the people I know would look at the Christmas card in question and feel some combination of impressed and jealous. But then there’s CNN and their ilk, who cannot understand people who do not live and think as they do and feel perfectly free to point out just how out of touch they are.

A fully functional M-60? Yes please.

And then there’s this even more embarrassing screed published by the Britlanderish “Guardian:”

‘It’s who they are’: gun-fetish photo a symbol of Republican abasement under Trump

There is a market for this. But this… this is too much.

Controversial Assisted Suicide Pod Cleared for Use in Switzerland

So how does this pod work? It fills with nitrogen, displacing the oxygen. The “resident” should then rather calmly, peacefully and painlessly pass out in under thirty seconds or so, and actually expire in five to ten minutes. As a way of executing people, I’ve long suggested nitrogen; it’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s clean, it doesn’t have the ethical issues that hanging, firing squads and lethal injections have. So why do I have a problem with this pod? Because it’s massively over-engineered. You know what you’d need? A scuba tank full of pure nitrogen and a face mask. That’s it. Maybe a heating element/ heat exchanger so you’re not inhaling really cold nitrogen. The suicide pod is supposed to be made transportable so people can do themselves in in the surroundings of their choice, like by a lake or at the mall or wherever… but a simple gas tank and a mask? I see old folks toting those things around all the time (typically filled with oxygen, however).  A very quick google search brings up this oxygen supply system:

It costs $350 and could be just as easily filled with nitrogen. Or helium if the person wants to go out making other people laugh. And it’s profoundly reusable, and easily transportable.

There’s no need to make this sort of thing all that complex.

Parents of Michigan school shooting suspect held on $500,000 bond each after manhunt

These parents seem like real winners. But none of the reports I’ve seen have said what crime they actually are thought to have committed. Yes, their offspring murdered people, but being the parents of a murderer has up till now not generally been considered a crime. Yes, they bought him a gun… but far as I can tell, they purchased it legally, and gave it to him legally. He was not a felon at the time.

Making parents legally liable for the crimes of their minor children is a debate worth having. If this is accepted, there will be a lot of prisons receiving an influx of single mothers. Perhaps Constitutionally dubious, but almost certainly a net benefit for society, especially if the absent fathers can be tracked down and also charged. *Imagine* the effect on society if single mothers and absent fathers are held equally to account for the crimes of their kids. In order for justice to be served, this would have to exempt fathers who have been denied custody or visitation, but would include fathers who skipped town or refused responsibility.

UPDATE:

Get a load of this:

Michigan shooting suspect Ethan Crumbley’s parents plead not guilty to involuntary manslaughter charges

The couple each face four counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection to Tuesday’s tragedy at Oxford High School for refusing to take their son out of school after staff said he exhibited warning signs of violence and needed counseling, according to authorities.

Huh. If the school felt he was a threat… why didn’t they boot his ass out?
