  1. For some people crime is a life style. Jumping turnstyles, stealing snacks, and even carjacking instead of calling Uber.

    Many of these people are protected by ˆminority” privilege. Media must not report their race, name, or even their photo (when they are still in training as minor bandits)

    We must expose and oppose such biased reporting and biased punishment. And we should be allowed to live our life far from habitual criminals.

  2. I am sorry, but I read the entire story (so should you). This is just dysfunction piled upon dysfuction. These crimes that we keep seeing are just ‘Wildings’–young blacks just having a lot of fun causing haoc. And I get it, when you”re young and running loose it’s a blast.

    The over-all problem is that long ago large segments of the black community just decided that they would not control themselve, that they would let the larger white community do all their controlling, all their restraining for them. And now the white community has decided that they will no longer police and restain the black community. And so there’s no control any longer in large parts of the black community.

    The question is really, whose fault is it. Is it the black community’s fault for relying on the white world to police and restain them? Or is it the white community’s fault for deciding to no longer do the job that they implicitely agreed to?

    I blame the white liberal power structure, they have lost interest in enforcing laws and norms. This is why, when the reaction finally comes, the main target should be white liberals. After a serious law enforcement system is restored, I expect the blacks will fall in line if they ever again want to live outside of a prison.

    The answer to that depends on whether you see blacks as equal to the rest of us and at least potentially capable of behaving well off the leash.

    I don't think they are. It is the fault of whites. We need to recognize Jim Crow was essentially about the closest thing to a humane, workable solution to the problem out there and reinstate it.

    After all, the alternatives are such murderous propositions as mass deportation or going to the other extreme and the demonstrably unworkable attitude that blacks can be treated like the rest of us can.

    Like most "modern problems" when you break it down to the core issue, it's obvious:

    There are basically two options for such disparate peoples tossed into the same territory.

    1) Separation. Either at the community or preferrable national level.

    2) Civilized, productive people enforcing their norms.

    Or you could offer a 3rd:

    3) Decline.

    So who is responsible? It's the people who have insisted that the civilized and productive people who built America were neither allowed to separate communities, nor to enforce their norms.

    And ultimately, of course, it is our fault allowing these people to grab the megaphone and not telling them where to put it. We're too nice.

  3. Yeah. Yep. Mhmm. Yeah.

    "When I was growing up, I was struggling to speak English," he tells the BBC. "There was a particular class," he says, recalling the incident in 2010. The teacher called him up to answer a question, and he was stumped.

    "I know the answer but I can only respond with my mother language," he remembers saying.


    The teacher replied "no way", came to where he stood, and then the beating began. Corporal punishment is still common in some Nigerian schools, although moves have been made to eradicate it.

    "She gave me one stroke of [the] cane," and sternly reminded Mr Habeebullah that he was not allowed to speak Yoruba in class, he says.

     

    Only one stroke? Even the Africans are going soft on kids! Remember when Adrian Peterson was condemned by "goodwhites" for using a twig on his son?


    From the story, a frightening fact:

    For many middle-class Nigerians, especially in the south, English is now their mother tongue and some may not speak any local languages. This is partly a result of marriages between members of different ethnic groups, and people moving to cities, where English is the lingua franca.

  6. There is a common trope now that the current high inflation we have is caused by greedy corporations raising prices. This, of course, is an attempt to deflect the blame from government overspending and money printing. Unfortunately, I think this is going to lead to increased stealing because thieves will justify their activities by saying big greedy corporations are screwing people over. I have known a few criminal types over the years, and they do like to portray themselves as the victim and their predatory behavior to be justified.

    If an opportunity presents itself, corporations raise prices. So would everybody. They make more money that way.

  7. This scenario seems strangely familiar to me… I’m not carjacker though… been to court ..

    … oh yeah. I remember. I got a $32 parking ticket in downtown Seattle, Washington one time. Washington State has these private licensing offices, basically DMV’s with people that aren’t uncaring dumbass AA hires. You can pay for parking tickets there too.

    I went to the one in Ballard, but I saw no place to park. They had these really wide sidewalks, like they do in many places in the area, so I wheeled my truck around, and drove up on the sidewalk right up near the door. “Hey, can I get this done quick? I’m in a bad parking spot.”

    True story. Smiles all around.

Standard penal theory tells us to lock youthful shitheads up until that age and then give them one last second chance. If the person is still an antisocial shithead after 29, lock him up for life because it’s unlikely he’ll ever reform.

    Not "nice". Pathetic. I'll never understand this mentality. It's not my job, our job to coddle this goon into "chilled out" adulthood.

    We normies do not exist for as punching bags and cash machines for these parasites. If any people do not want to abide by the norms of the civilized majority ... they have no business sharing the civilized majority's civilization. Period.

    I can grasp that there is a reason--incentive not to his kill victims--for not simply executing this POS. But there's absolutely no reason this a*hole should ever again "darken the door" of any American home or city. A simple toss from a helicopter say 30 ft above and off the shore of an Aleutian Island with a pack of outdoor essentials would suffice.

    These look to be about an age to have either been born here, or have arrived as small children ca. 30 years ago. Most of the chunkier ones in the photo are in American dress. The standard poor man's diet in the US will blow you up right quick.

    An Eritrean co-worker once mocked our Somali colleagues for eating nothng but "rice, goat and bananas"! A valid point. But a healthier diet than most.

    We just visited the goat farm of our kids' CCD teacher for an Epiphany blessing. She sells them for meat, but is a vegetarian herself. She gave up meat one Lent, and didn't go back.

    Let’s just say it’s someone like Rasputin, only instead of whispering he uses the world’s biggest megaphone.
     
    The ACLU, of course. There was a lot less of this when we still had corporal punishment and intelligent design in the schools.

    Nigerian schools: Flogged for speaking my mother tongue



    Kareem Abiodun Habeebullah, whose mother tongue is Yoruba, was just a secondary school student when he was whipped in class for not speaking in English.

    "When I was growing up, I was struggling to speak English," he tells the BBC. "There was a particular class," he says, recalling the incident in 2010. The teacher called him up to answer a question, and he was stumped.

    "I know the answer but I can only respond with my mother language," he remembers saying.


    The teacher replied "no way", came to where he stood, and then the beating began. Corporal punishment is still common in some Nigerian schools, although moves have been made to eradicate it.

    "She gave me one stroke of [the] cane," and sternly reminded Mr Habeebullah that he was not allowed to speak Yoruba in class, he says.

     

    Only one stroke? Even the Africans are going soft on kids! Remember when Adrian Peterson was condemned by "goodwhites" for using a twig on his son?


    From the story, a frightening fact:

    For many middle-class Nigerians, especially in the south, English is now their mother tongue and some may not speak any local languages. This is partly a result of marriages between members of different ethnic groups, and people moving to cities, where English is the lingua franca.

    The over-all problem is that long ago large segments of the black community just decided that they would not control themselve, that they would let the larger white community do all their controlling, all their restraining for them. And now the white community has decided that they will no longer police and restain the black community. And so there's no control any longer in large parts of the black community.

    Sure, if you merely apply a mathematical formula to the artificially induced [via mass immigration] Cheap Labor situation, the Supply and Demand Curve THEORETICALLY "approaches zero" on the Wage axis. However, that's not the way the Real World behaves. As things get leaner and leaner, the Collective does not sit around and agree to share the scarcity. If there are only 800 calories available per day per capita, and it's clear that the shortage is permanent, well, not everyone will sing Kumbaya! and happily agree to slowly starve to death out of any sense of "fairness." The young and the strong are going to take from the old and the infirm. They'll get not just their 2,000 calories per day, but three or four thousand, so that they have the resources available to take even MORE stuff they want. Any "extra" food, fuel, cash income, etc. can be bartered, especially for sex. As wages deteriorate, it won't be the criminally-inclined who trade their labor for low wages. No, they'll simply enslave others and expropriate the meager fruits of their labor. And, seeing that poverty is going to exist and indeed greatly increase whether there's exploitation or not, there is less and less reason to feel personally responsible for participating in the exploitation.

    Something has gone seriously wrong when, five or six decades ago, your town had a couple of doctors and dentists who made four or five times the average person's annual income and were perfectly content to live in one of the community's nicer homes and send their kids to the same schools, while no self-respecting MD or DDS today pulls down less than ten times the median income. In fact, twenty times more is probably a lot closer to the truth.

    Like most “modern problems” when you break it down to the core issue, it’s obvious:

    There are basically two options for such disparate peoples tossed into the same territory.

    1) Separation. Either at the community or preferrable national level.

    2) Civilized, productive people enforcing their norms.

    Or you could offer a 3rd:

    3) Decline.

    So who is responsible? It’s the people who have insisted that the civilized and productive people who built America were neither allowed to separate communities, nor to enforce their norms.

    And ultimately, of course, it is our fault allowing these people to grab the megaphone and not telling them where to put it. We’re too nice.

    According to court records, this wasn't Washington's first robbery.

    In 2013, he and others were charged with capital murder after a man was killed during an armed robbery, according to prosecutors. The charge was later changed to aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and Washington was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison.

    It's unclear exactly when he was released, but the most recent time he was arrested was Dec. 16 when authorities said he pushed his girlfriend to the ground and scratched her. Washington was charged with misdemeanor family violence and was released on a personal recognizance bond.

    It is impossible for a country with a Bantu majority to be “great” in any way.
     
    Weren't the Bantu largely late arrivals? After the Boers?

    one of my best friends in high school became a lawyer, specifically so that he could become a public defender. he quit that eventually, presumably after defending enough guys like this for years, and barely getting paid anything for his troubles.

    unfortunately, he eventually fell in with the wrong crowd of leftists, and now tries to get obvious bad guys out of their death sentences. maybe he means well and it's some kind of philosophical objection to the death sentence, but screw him. we're not friends anymore.

    the political situation in Pennsylvania is deteriorating steadily. Democrats are in full control. and they're looking to let all the bad guys out of prison.

    i don't know a single person who grew up to be a lawyer who didn't turn out to be a douche. i'm sure a few exist somewhere. but actual good guys don't aspire to be lawyers. they all become soldiers, firefighters, or police officers. the smart ones become doctors, the smartest couple guys become scientists.

    I think that is what the Commies did somewhere in Eastern Europe when they took power, released prisoners and made them commissars. The criminals would follow all orders as they did not want to return to prison and the criminissars were perfect for terrifying the population.

    I think we should form a task force to address the vital issue of why French isn't taught in African schools.

    I am sure French is taught in schools of the post French Empire parts of Africa. About 120 million Africans speak French.

    Here's a guy who tried to rob a Houston taco joint with a fake gun only to run into a guy with a real gun who shot him nine times, gave everybody back their money, and left.
