In a more sane world, blacks would thank police for taking this lunatic out of their midst. How many fellow blacks would he have killed (or has he already killed)?

Burn, Baby, Burn! MAGA inferno!

Have you had enough America?
Seven days to go.
Kumbaya…

To me, this is a tragic situation. The man shot had a history of mental problems, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

How is it that he wasn’t able to get the proper medical care he required? By time the cops have to be called out because a mentally ill person is walking down the street with a knife, it’s already way too late.

Steve said: World War Weed: WeedParations Now!

Jay-Z’s cannabis company:

https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2020-10-23/jay-z-launch-cannabis-brand-monogram

Not exactly the small black entrepreneur getting weedparations.

As of about a minute ago, 11:45pm Eastern, CNN.com had nothing at all on the events.

I saw an episode of Hoarders once where it was a young 20s black man and his middle-aged mother living together in an apartment building in NYC.

The son came off as a decent, milquetoast, quiet guy, and he taught tennis for a living to city kids. Mom also came off as decent and pleasant. Both had their NYC apartment filled to the brim with crap and could barely move.

The I realized it: although the show never said where in NYC they lived, it was obvious they lived in a lower-class black community based on the outside shots of the building and the interior set up of the apartment. In other words, they were living in a high-crime area. These folks were scared to go outside thanks to other blacks, and so had walled themselves up for protection with all their stuff.

I felt really bad for them at that point. Clearly, they weren’t high enough earners to move out, but they weren’t “thug” folks to ignore or take part in the the chaos around them. They were decent folks stuck in a bad situation.These were the kind of blacks a tough-on-crime policy helped the most: those too timid and poor to fight or flight.

God bless them, I hope they are voting Trump, because this kind of thing terrifies them as much as it scares the non-black residents those BLM thugs are terrifying.

I seem to remember a move earlier this month to permanently ban police use of tear gas and nonlethal projectiles in Philadelphia. Did that pass? I guess that leaves bullets.

Looks like Trump just carried Pennsylvania especially if there’s looting in center city. Hey, what do you expect when the police commissioner’s last job was head of police in Portland? When she was told officers are forbidden to paint their nails the first thing she did was allow officers to paint their nails. That’s about the only thing she’s done since taking the position.

If a city falls in the middle of a media blackout, did it really happen?

The frequency of George Floyd’s contact with police during his 46 years of life is an anomaly for most Americans, except for other Black men. https://t.co/wEN7hpycAG

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) October 26, 2020

Obviously, a nightmare scenario for Democrats’ is — at the last moment — a blue city in the key swing state of Pennsylvania being sacked over a routine black-crazy-man-with-a-knife-shooting.

Or maybe not. Depends on what the folks in the Tract Cymraeg ym maestrefi Philadelphia do. And King of Prussia.

The criticism of polls is that they underestimated Trump’s strength in 2016. But not quite… they overestimated it in the states he lost. The real story is they missed the division growing in this country.

It takes 18 clicks to read through this, but it goes through Fivethirtyeight’s poll averages of 2016 and 2020, compares the polls and results of four years ago, and extrapolates to next week:

Polls Are Biased: Trump Will Again Deliver A Stunning Upset (Update 1)

(It is eight days old, though.)

5. California
Fivethirtyeight 2016 prediction: Trump loses by 22.5 points

Actual result: Trump lost by 30.1 points

Fivethirtyeight 2020 prediction: Trump loses by 31 points

Insider Monkey Prediction: Trump loses by 38.6 points

12. Hawaii
Fivethirtyeight 2016 prediction: Trump loses by 24.5 points

Actual result: Trump lost by 32.2 points

Fivethirtyeight 2020 prediction: Trump loses by 35.7 points

Insider Monkey Prediction: Trump loses by 43 points

14. Illinois
Fivethirtyeight 2016 prediction: Trump loses by 12.8 points

Actual result: Trump lost by 17.1 points

Fivethirtyeight 2020 prediction: Trump loses by 19.7 points

Insider Monkey Prediction: Trump loses by 24 points

Likewise, the states Trump won in 2016 will generally win by even greater margins this time, with a few exceptions like Georgia and Texas.

We’re splitting into Trumpland, which is contiguous, and three isolated, nutso Leftlands centered around Bos-Wash, Chicago, and LA-SeaTac. Perhaps a Black Belt connecting Atlanta and NOLA.

On the other hand, this is eight days old, missing the final debate and the COVID recuperation. Trump could increase across the board. You’d think he’d have to improve in Washington and Oregon, what with the Oldest Established Permanent Floating Riot Peaceful Protest in Portland and Seattle.

I seem to remember a move earlier this month to permanently ban police use of tear gas and nonlethal projectiles in Philadelphia.

Pumpkin spice tear gas would be a lovely touch this time of year. Especially if, as usual, the rioters are white trannies.

The antifa Commies may very well be under somebody’s control, but the BLM rank-and-file, the actual looters, are not, I doubt. Election or not, there is really no wrong time to get free electronics and shoes. I don’t live there, or I wouldn’t say this, but I kinda hope this goes on for a week, in just the right places.

O/T, Steve, why no R.I.P. post for Jerry Jeff Walker? If you had one for some Dad of a basketball player, I mean … outlaw country, Steve!

“How is it that he wasn’t able to get the proper medical care he required?”

$1,000 per day.

That’s sarcasm right? Nearly all of them have serious mental problems. Heck, half the country does.

Why didn’t they just leave their doors open one night. Ns be clearing that sht out right quick.

If necessary, steal an illuminated Target or Foot Locker sign and put it out front.

PS they’re not voting for Trump

Nope. Biden just won. BLM riots in Philly and Pittsburgh? Every cool wine mom votes Biden.

The violence helps Biden. Dominance display. Women respond to it could crazy.

You don’t see White women crying over dead White honor students do you? They figure they had it coming for being nerdy. No thug goes unloved. No nerd unpunished.

Another martyr is born. Why the F are cops still answering calls from the hood? Do they get fired if they refuse?

There did seem to have been too many shots, FWIW, which isn’t much.

MSM: YET ANOTHER INNOCENT UNARMED BLACK PERSON KILLED BY RACIST COPS IN TRUMP’S AMERICA

I went to a Jerry Jeff concert at Tulane in the late seventies. The place was full of drunk cowboys and drunker fraternity guys. The warm up act was an elegant jazz lady and her pianist – someone’s idea of an eclectic combination for a country concert. It was a bad idea. The crowd hooted and catcalled her until she finally gave the audience the finger and yelled “F### You!” over the mike.
Jerry Jeff came on, played a few numbers, and walked off the stage too drunk to continue.
The crowd loved it all, too drunk themselves to care.

“

Why didn’t they use a taser?” Wallace Sr. asked outside a family residence on the block. “His mother was trying to diffuse the situation.”

Wallace Sr. said his son struggled with mental health issues and was on medication. “He has mental issues. Why you have to gun him down?”

1. They didn’t use a taser because they are not always effective against armed individuals.

2. They had to gun him down because he had a knife and was advancing toward them. If you wanted your mentally ill son to stay alive you should not have let him get ahold of a knife and should have stopped him from advancing on the police. If you can’t control your own son, how do you expect the cops to do it?

If it’s a new rule that the cops can no longer shoot people who are about to stab them then it’s all over for urban America. Cops are not going to agree to allow themselves to be stabbed. Either they will shoot or they will quit. (BTW did they mention the race of the cops?) If every time a black is shot by police there is a riot then business in our cities is not possible.

There was a police shooting in Waukegan, Illinois on 10/22. The proximate cause was a woman in her car driving in reverse at police. She was wounded and her 19 year old companion killed. One of the officers has since been fired. No rioting so these events can be controlled if the political will is there to control it. I note the family of the woman who survived has retained Ben Crump!

These sort of incidents do seem to be ‘controllable ‘ if the political will is there so I suspect the Democrat ‘underground’ will not allow BLM/Antifa to go crazy in Philadelphia so close to an election.

Coming soon from
The City of Brotherly Lunge….
Philadelphia II starring Tom Shanks

It would be nice if that happened but I don’t think this is going to change anyone’s mind at this late date. Center City was already looted once this summer, only a few months ago. If you were inclined to vote for Biden up until today, more rioting is not going to persuade you. You might even believe that Biden and his Magic Negress Kamala are just the thing that we need to bring about racial healing.

How is it that he wasn’t able to get the proper medical care he required?

This is a common refrain when an obviously crazy person commits a crime.

Let me tell you, these guys are not exactly banging on the hospital doors asking for some haldol. Sure, some of them want to be treated, some want to be hospitalized, but plenty don’t.

So what do you do about the people who don’t want help? Unless you give the state the power to involuntarily commit people you can’t stop this sort of thing, even with otherwise unlimited resources.

That comes with its own set of problems–it is clearly a violation of their autonomy, and has the potential for abuse. Personally I think it is a favorable trade off.

(note that while involuntary committment and involuntary treatment are legal in some circumstances it requires a very, very high administrative/legal/medical bar.)

I’ve also never really had any use for the insane/not insane and retarded/not retarded dichotomies in the criminal justice system. Who cares if one understands, or doesn’t understand, the ramifications of one’s actions when one commits a crime? I don’t. What matters is your externally directed actions, not your internally directed thoughts.

This has gone nowhere: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/waukegan-police-shooting-killed-black-19-year-old-leads-firing-n1244637

The city has fired the cop, the family lawyered up with Crump, and all is quiet.

So the fix is in. All quiet as possible until the election.

Somehow the People’s Armed Police Force (人民武装警察部队) can cart people (many — nay, most of them Black Africans!) off all the way to labor camps in Inner Mongolia and never have to kill anyone in the process of apprehension and transport.

Thankfully, I live in a First World nation — China — where police do not inhibit the execution of the law like 3rd world America.

These Mick/Kwa cops are just unhinged lunatics. You guys continually look foolish for defending them! Police are part of the reason why your nation is a failed state now.

Several days ago the Sun-Times carried a story about a meeting of women who had something in common: Each of them had a child who had been killed by a policeman. Really? Are these the women we need to listen to? Is it their wisdom we need?

O/T, Steve, why no R.I.P. post for Jerry Jeff Walker? If you had one for some Dad of a basketball player, I mean … outlaw country, Steve!

Did Scott Adams mention it? Scott went to college in JJW’s hometown, albeit a decade or so after Ronald Clyde Crosby left. (Come to think of it, Jackson Browne’s first name is Clyde, too.) Future Redskin Mark May was in high school nearby when Adams was at Hartwick, which was NCAA champion in his sophomore year. John Elway played minor league baseball down the hill five years later.

JJW wasn’t as lucky as John Denver. Their first successes were as songwriters (“Mr Bojangles” and “Leavin’ On a Jet Plane”), but Jerry Jeff’s only hit was written by Guy Clark. Still, he picked the right town to become a local legend in. Especially if he invested in real estate there.

How could anybody see that video and conclude that this was “police brutality”?

Dude, don’t drink and post. You’re better than that. That’s my job.

Let the Philly situation be handled by the genius Mayor; the DA; the Governor. Another AllStar Democrat Team from hell.

Maybe Obama and Biden can make one more campaign stop to heal the city before it burns to the ground.

Just kidding. The election’s over. LOL. A week before election day Biden announces he’ll do no more events!? …except for uh some uh virtual stuff uh maybe. Unprecedented in the modern era. Truly bizarre.

The media is a hoax.

The virus is a hoax.

The Biden campaign is a hoax.

The riots arson and street violence are sadly real.

Send in Obama and Joe and Hillary and Bill and Mike Bloomberg and Kanye and Diddy and the Kardashians and Brad Pitt and Oprah. Flood the zone with celebrities. Maybe they can calm the rioters and draw a crowd for Joe.

Biden hasn’t spoken to a large crowd all year. So for the last week of the campaign he just stops campaigning. Why not? LOL. Save precious energy.

Watch the epic spanking this feeble old man and his power crazed wife receive on election day. It will be a HUMILIATION.

If the backdrop to Biden’s defeat is a “Philly in flames” will anyone be surprised?

Are you nuts?

Every guy who was being henpecked into voting for Biden is going to swerve to Trump after this.

And lots of suburban PA women are going that way too….secretly.

Terlingua is home to the world championship chili cook-off. The wu-flu halted the contest, but I’ve got enough Pendery’s chile powder to keep me in the running up until next year with my awesome Texas red. Tri tip seems to be a crowd favorite.

https://penderys.com/chile-peppers.html

I’ll see you comrades in Terlingua next year.

But was it just we were all drunk when we listened to it?

Yes.

Wow! How is running over police officers going to help Biden? Not that the hoodrats driving give a damn but the people running Biden’s campaign surely will. Now, police will be scrutinizing every video cam to find the suspects. Every dindu with an arrest warrant will be reluctant to show up at a voting booth less they be caught up in the dragnet.

The leftist think tank APM latest survey shows that there are 21,000 fewer negro voters than there would have been had white and black death rates been equal as a result of Covid. Philadelphia owns 1000 of them. If you are Biden’s Pennsylvania campaign manager you don’t want to loose a couple of thousand voters in Philly and have Trump gain a couple of thousand more because a cop got crushed and some store front windows were smashed,

Win California by 3 million ‘votes’ means nothing if you lose Pennsylvania by a couple of thousand.

Future Redskin Mark May was in high school nearby when Adams was at Hartwick, which was NCAA champion in his sophomore year.

You don’t mention the sport, but it was soccer. It was also Adams’ junior year, not sophomore.

As of around 3:00AM, the majority of Philly local news are not covering the riots, only the initial shooting. Only NBC10 has a story about the riots, however it does rightly refer to them as riots, not protests. Nothing from Fox29, ABC6 or the Inquirer. The latter is probably waiting for Krasner to wake up and give them their line.

“When an unarmed person comes at him with a knife or something, shoot him in the leg instead of the heart.”

Actually it makes sense to me. But US cops are too roided up to follow such a rule.

You’ve mentioned here before many times that you’re a lawyer in Philly. This isn’t your billboard by any chance, is it?

Someone should set those tweets to Roy Orbison.

Biden and his Magic Negress Kamala

His Hindu kush(ion).

Oh, for the days when you could call a politician’s wife a “jet-black, thick-lipped, odiferous negro wench“. Even if she’s a refined and capable octoroon.

Cotto/Gottfried yesterday was good for a whitepill on the election. The pollster they had on at least sounds like he knows what he’s talking about. Tl;dr: close race, much closer than normie polls show, normie polls crap sold to news orgs who’ve all moved to a subscriber business model. PA is probably the decisive state.

Biden calling a lid through the rest of the election means… what? MSM says confidence he’ll win + fear of COVID. That’s an obvious lie. After 2016, no way any Democrat could be that confident.

He’s supposedly got a big money advantage on Trump but is lidding it from here on out. Bad dementia flare up? Can’t face the Hunter story as it keeps expanding?

Joe Biden reminds me of what is known in anatomical parlance as a ‘natural skeleton’ – that is a cadaveric preparation that involves dessication of the corpse in an attempt to preserve the true course and structures of the main arteries, veins, nerves etc.

Other than that, he reminds me of the Marvel character ‘Ghostrider’, or one of those parchment skin cadavers one sees adorning the walls of many a Sicilian ecclesiastical charnel house.

Philadelphia could be the Dallas of 2020.

If you were inclined to vote for Biden up until today, more rioting is not going to persuade you. You might even believe that Biden and his Magic Negress Kamala are just the thing that we need to bring about racial healing.

Maybe, but I doubt that there are many people in that camp of “Biden and Negress will bring racial healing.” Neither one of them has anything close to Obama’s mastery of that shtick. (For that matter, the fact that Obama already played it once, and better, and look where it got us, means the bloom is probably more than a bit off that rose.) Biden/Harris’ appeal, such as it is, isn’t really a positive vote for anything, but is overwhelmingly meant as a vote against Trump. It’s pretty much an entirely negative case, and has been from the beginning.

The question is going to be what, if anything, this does for marginal voters. If there are enough Biden-leaning voters who decide, for example, that they’re just not going to bother showing up to vote for Biden because he’s not strong enough on things like these riots, and enough Trump-leaning-but-skeptical voters who just needed something like this to push them off the fence and break late for the incumbent, it’ll be good news for Trump. That’s a plausible scenario, especially this late in the election.

“When an unarmed person comes at him with a knife or something, shoot him in the leg instead of the heart.”

Actually it makes sense to me.

It only makes sense to someone who has never fired a handgun.

Several months back, on another blog, I offered my idea for a remake of “It’s a Wonderful Life”. The main character would be a middle-aged Black woman angered over the perfectly justified shooting of her son by police. She would receive a visit from her guardian angel who would show her the many tragedies that would have been visited upon her family and community by her son if he had never, oh, let’s say charged two cops with a knife. Perhaps her moment of epiphany would have occurred as she watched him rape his kid sister. Of course, if we wanted to keep a PG-13 rating we might need to come up with something else. Casting this role might prove to be difficult. I can’t imagine Viola Davis or Octavia Spencer would even deign to read the screenplay. We might have to settle for Stacey Dash, instead.

Speaking of bad behavior in big cities, has anyone ID’d or racially described the gang that beat the Japanese jazz pianist in Harlem? The NYT did a long story on it without bothering to mention the race of “a group of about eight young people who blocked his way to the turnstiles” — even though the attack was recorded by security cameras and the victim obviously saw them. I searched for “Philadelphia” in the Times this morning and found nothing, although it’s still early and perhaps it’s not yet “fit to print.”

Some, uh, people have different thought processes than you or I.

There was a proposal in the past year to ban Koreans from having plexiglass bullet proof screens around the tills in their stores because it sent the wrong message to the blacks who wanted to rob them.

The cognitive dissonance when the WuFlu panic mandated them everywhere must have been a hoot.

In a just world, anyone who says, “He just had a knife!” you could stab without penalty. It’s just a knife wound, right?

… is lidding it from here on out

The dynamic here might be that the less people see of Biden, the better he does.

Same with Kamala.

Dems are rather weak in personal campaigning. Outside of Bill Clinton and Obama, most follow more of a Gore — Kerry — Hillary: not personable.

In polling, a generic Democrat usually beats a particular Republican; but when asked about a particular Dem. vs. that Repub., not so much.

“The joy of shopping before casting your vote”

At 11pm EDT in Philadelphia it’s a pleasant 61 degrees F and not much chance of rain before Tuesday night (when Antifa normally arrives), and even through Wednesday the weather is likely to be not bad. Then it’s going to pour rain on Thursday.

The hot summer of Floyd just keeps echoing out into the off-season.

It only makes sense because an “unarmed person with a knife” does not exist.

It’s a non-recommendation recommender.

Sybrina Fulton?

In the old Fresh Prince, Will runs afoul of local gangsters and has to flee to LA to avoid being killed. In the new one, Will is packing and gets arrested for possession of a gun he keeps to defend himself in West Philly’s honour culture.

It’s getting made.

But displacement ain’t fun, particularly when the social capital of your neighbourhood was all you had. A recent film just about it, though about DC.

Needless to say, you could fill the libraries of the world with the stories of working class natives in Europe and whites in the US too, but nobody wants to make that film.

Wow! How is running over police officers going to help Biden? Not that the hoodrats driving give a damn but the people running Biden’s campaign surely will.

They never had control, that’s the illusion. Black urban youth are perfectly capable of organising their own protests.

They believed the Twitter consultants and thought because they controlled the minds of youth middle class white women and girls about BLM, that they controlled Jamal. They never controlled Jamal. Not about this.

Yes, I have one sister who is essentially insane, well beyond that of a normal woman (and that’s saying a lot), but she has been able to hold a good job for decades.

Another sister has hydrocephalus, which caused quite severe brain damage. Her motor skills and ability to reason could be charitably described as at a 6 year old level. She has a difficult time writing, and even after having had a smartphone for years, she can’t type to save her life (my own attempts to teach her have been limited by my lack of infinite patience), but she has basic reading comprehension and, to be perfectly honest, she seems better than me at solving the puzzles on Wheel of Fortune.

Anyway, my point is that, despite their psychological/cognitive impairments and their ill-tempers (which is definitely genetic), they are not prone to violence, unlike a very large number of black men. My sisters will never be in the news for having been shot by the po-po for threatening behavior.

As for this good boy who dindu nuffin, his alleged insanity definitely doesn’t mean the cops did anything wrong, and frankly I’m not sure what “society” could have done to prevent this besides not import his ancestors, or at least send them back after their period of servitude was up.

As you put it very well: forcing more people into involuntary treatment brings up a whole host of problems. So does allowing Africans to riot, burn and kill when a violent African gets euthanized, but no one here needs that pointed out.

The virus is a hoax.

“CDC: COVID-19 Wiped Out the Flu Around the World This Year”
https://www.sott.net/article/443359-Flu-cases-drop-98-around-the-world

“Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, it may be hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone, and testing may be needed to help confirm a diagnosis. Flu and COVID-19 share many characteristics, but there are some key differences between the two.”

Old joke:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/justice-kavanaugh-seems-argue-no-053900203.html

Justice Kavanaugh seems to argue no votes should be counted after Election Day. He may get his wish in key states.

The problem is that the phrase “history of mental problems” is little more than a euphemism for “history of poor decisions, drug use, and run ins with police” anymore, especially with blacks.

Even a white woman,hell,even a college educated white woman,at some point,is going to get sick of this stupid bullshit!

The United States, unlike China, is exercising patience and forbearance with respect to Blacks. The English ideal is to give a newcomer independence and just a bit more power and just a bit more trust than the newcomer deserves, hoping that the newcomer will become an independent responsible member of society. The insane Black man had clearly failed to develop as hoped, and was treated like any other member of society trying to kill another member of society.
This approach has been used since at least the 1964 Civil Rights Act, without visible success. I doubt that sending Black criminals to Mongolian labor camps would produce better results, for what that’s worth.
It’s an interesting piece of sociology. The American public was told that the same general approach would be used in Iraq, and, indeed, the country does have an independent government that has acted very badly, as majority governments tend to do in tribal societies with significant minorities.

Anyway, you at have the “failed nation” part right. The West is reorganizing itself, much as China did under Mao, and the first part of reorganization is to realized that failure makes it necessary.

Trump’s Luck arriving in Pennsylvania today to remind all the suburban parents why their grandparents fled Philadelphia

At one of the Obama ‘events’ for Biden in Philadelphia …

I’ve got enough Pendery’s chile powder to keep me in the running up until next year

I’ve never understood chili powder. It’s the Bisquick or Hamburger Helper of spice. Why not just make the chili with cumin, salt, oregano and whatnot, and cayenne or however else you want to add heat?

The violence helps Biden. Dominance display. Women respond to it could crazy.

Geez, Whisk’, your divorce must have been excruciating.

It doesn’t really matter if the old Joe is still in there because as President, Biden will just be a puppet for Bernie Sanders, AOC and the other lefty loonies of the Democratic Party.

As of the 2010 United States Census, there were 89,078 people living in the city. The racial makeup of the town was 46.6% White (21.7% non-Hispanic White), 19.2% African-American, 4.3% Asian, 1.2% Native American, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 24.6% some other race, and 4.1% of two or more races. 53.4% were Hispanic or Latino (of any race). 5.3% were of German ancestry.[34]

Waukegan is overwhelming a Mexican working/lower class town. They are unlikely to tolerate BLM nonsense.
Antifa is likely to stay away. If BLM/Antifa trys to burn down the town, the local Mexican gangs could in hours have tens of thousands of allies from Pilsen, Cicero, Aurora …. show up and take back the streets. The Jewish puppetmasters of BLM/Antifa are very much aware of the likely strain it would have on the coalition of the fringes.

BLM/Antifa tried to loot the western Chicago/Cicero shopping and logistics depot districts of Chicagoland, the Latinos chased them away, so BLM headed for the Loop and the Magnificent Mile.

African-descended people in the UK are more likely than natives to have the sort of mental health issues which cause serious physical harm to others. Many such cases!

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2007/apr/02/comment.health

“Over the last 30 years there have been 20 studies showing that people of Caribbean and African origin have an increased risk of being treated for serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and mania. The increased rate is of epidemic proportions – between five and 12 times greater than for white people. And if anything, it is getting worse.

On March 31 each year, a one-day census is carried out for all Britain’s psychiatric inpatients, and the results of last year’s census have just been published. Of the 32,000 people in hospital, those who defined themselves as black Caribbean and black African were over-represented by three- or fourfold. But one other group stood out – those who defined themselves as “black other”. The vast majority of this group are young, British-born black people, and they were 18 times more likely to be in hospital than the British average.”

In 2010, the last survey date, 8.9% of psychiatric inpatients were black, plus another 1.7% mixed black and white. That’s much higher than the black population percentage.

The people screaming and carrying on made that a good deal more stressful and tense than it needed to be. Perhaps if they had not been there, the man with the knife would not have felt the need to provide them with a performance.

That clip gives you an insight into what a rotten job being a policeman in a black city must be.

They say he was Texas’ Jimmy Buffett. Jimmy Buffett had more success, I guess because he wasn’t so much of a drunkard (if he drunk at all, I dunno).

That’s too bad about the concert you attended. People need to know how to play to a drunk audience. You probably shouldn’t play jazz at all, haha. For pointers, see how the Blues Brothers handled it at Bob’s Country Bunker.

No, seriously, I know a local guy with a pretty big family who has supported them playing music, 95% cover songs, for many years. He just gets the crowd, often the same people, to sing along at the right spots, they yell out the usual requests, he jokes with them, etc. I think Jimmy Buffett would do fine with a wasted audience of college kids. I’ve seen 2 of his shows but can’t claim to be a true Parrothead.

NY Post covered it. NY Times, NPR, CNN : crickets. Too busy freaking out about ACB confirmation, Covid, election. Business as usual.

There is a difference in Medicare payment to hospitals for Covid compared to other diagnoses. Just saying.

“Who cares if one understands, or doesn’t understand, the ramifications of one’s actions when one commits a crime?”

Would a five year old who found a gun and shot a friend be guilty of murder?

How you answer that question goes a long way towards understanding why state of mind matters. You either say no, in which case we ask about someone who is mentally 5 but physically 40. Otherwise, you’ll need to be building a bunch of cages to throw kids in, hopefully with life sentences. After which someone might ask to have YOU committed.

By time the cops have to be called out because a mentally ill person is walking down the street with a knife, it’s already way too late.

I disagree. The cops treated his mental illness quite effectively.

France is participating in the international efforts to respond to the humanitarian needs in Burma and Bangladesh. Our assistance for the Rohingya populations in Bangladesh and Burma totalled €4.2 million in 2017.

bought zero street cred in Bangladesh:

Police intervene as thousands of Islam defenders march to ‘lay siege’ on French embassy in Bangladesh

Bangladeshi police used barricades to stop a thousands-strong protest in the capital, which targeted the French embassy over President Macron’s controversial remarks on Islam.

The Tuesday march in Dhaka, which police said involved some 40,000 people, was organized by Islami Andolan Bangladesh, an Islamist party. The protesters gathered around a mosque in the morning and moved toward the French embassy, which is located in Gulshan, the diplomatic area of the capital.

Moralité: Muslims will be angry with you whoever you are until you are Muslim or dead, whatever comes first.

I guess this couldn’t come at a better moment:

‘So cringeworthy’: Kamala Harris accused of ‘pandering’ after doing a promo about her sneakers amid election campaign

Kamala Harris garnered quite a few haters after “going sneaker shopping” with a pop culture outlet as a campaign promotional event, with viewers seeing the move as unserious and “pandering.”

Harris was probed about her footwear in a video released on Monday by lifestyle outlet Complex.

“I love my chucks,” the California senator said of her Chuck Taylor sneakers, a fashion choice often lauded in liberal circles on social media. “I think it’s a statement about who we really are,” she added by way of explanation.

We are Chucks? 🤔

And she isn’t even black.

In a more sane world, blacks would thank police for taking this lunatic out of their midst. How many fellow blacks would he have killed (or has he already killed)?

Exactly. Blacks are the people who most need the police around. Their situation would go downhill a hell of a lot faster without the cops than mine.

The simple reality:
The biggest problem with being poor in America is being around other poor people.
The biggest problem with being black in America is being around other black people.

If Trump had his rhetorical shit together, he’d have made this point, and wrapped up a consistent message that blacks need the same thing as other Americans–the rule of law, keeping their neighbors safe, and an end to illegal and mass immigration to preserve their jobs, wages, housing and schools so they and their children can live their American Dream.

Biden/Harris Democrats: lies, looting and lockdowns.
Trump: liberty, prosperity and the American Dream.

Looks like Trump just carried Pennsylvania especially if there’s looting in center city.

I dunno. Last week John and the Supremes did their bit to help Pennsylvania Dems manufacture ballots after election day.

This week SCOTUS gets to say Pennsylvania ballot envelopes don’t need to be signed. The latest ruckus may persuade them (now with ACB) of the need to remove the final impediment to chicanery.

It’s the white women who will either stay home or hold their nose and vote trump. But that assumes they even cover the riots on good morning America. Otherwise they’ll never know.

Guardian started reporting an hour ago. ZERO mention of looting.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/27/philadelphia-walter-wallace-police-shooting-protest

Hundreds took to the streets of Philadelphia on Monday night, to protest the shooting by police of Walter Wallace, a 27-year-old black man who officers said had a knife.

Interactions between protesters and police turned violent at times, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Video showed many yelling at officers and crying.

Cars and dumpsters were set on fire as police struggled to contain the crowds. More than a dozen officers, many with batons in hand, formed a line as they ran down 52nd Street chasing protesters away. The crowd largely dispersed.

Thirty officers were injured, most struck by projectiles such as bricks and rocks, according to preliminary information from police. One officer was hospitalized in stable condition with a broken leg and other injuries after she was struck by a pickup truck, police said. The other injured officers were treated and released.

Daily Mail – the front page of US edition is “RIOTS ERUPT IN PHILLY”.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8882839/Protests-erupt-Philadelphia-police-shot-killed-knife-wielding-black-man-27.html

Rioting, vandalism and looting erupted in Philadelphia on Monday night hours after police fatally shot a 27-year-old black man armed with a knife during a domestic disturbance call.

Late into the night, growing anger boiled over into a violent riot near the Philadelphia Police 18th District building. Several officers were injured by bricks and other projectiles thrown at them by a crowd of demonstrators.

At least 30 officers have been hurt with 12 hospitalized including one female Philadelphia Police Sergeant, 56, who suffered a broken leg after being hit by a speeding pick-up truck that was videoed driving towards a line of officers close to the city center shortly before 1am, according to Philadelphia Police.

Local reports also suggest at least 30 people have been arrested.

Multiple instances of looting have also been reported across the city. Police said multiple stores were looted including several Rite Aid stores in West Philadelphia, clothing and shoe stores and one restaurant.

Like this?

Note the community adviser who is also participating in the ride.

Four years ago 6 million Pennsylvanians voted, Trump won by 45,000 votes. when the margins are this tight a riot will make a difference. If the rioting gets out of hand it will result in a few thousand more Trump votes, not because they changed their minds , but it might inspire a few thousand independents and convince a few thousand lazy white guys to go and vote.

The key difference between 2012 and 2016 in PA was voter turnout. Whites turnout was up 2% in 2016 and Black turnout was down 4% compared to 2012. Yet only 57% of whites without a college degree bothered to vote, compared to 79% of whites with a college degree voting.

The key demographic for Trump is whites without a college degree. If 59% of them bother to vote next week , Trump easily wins. If less than 55% of them vote (like in 2012) he will lose. Black violence should increase the working class white vote. It is not about changing peoples minds about Trump, it is getting voters to the polls. The rioting may convince a few thousand working class whites to cast a ballot, this will make a difference in a close election.

How many 5 year olds find a gun and shoot someone? How many negro criminals claim to have mental issues after committing murder? Ask yourself, “Should a deranged murderer be left to roam the streets terrorizing people because he’s been deemed insane?” How you answer this will go a long way to show whether you’re nuts and should be allowed to vote or mingle with civilized folks.

Yeah, because once again I couldn’t walk. I had to learn how again. I couldn’t talk. Polio didn’t grab me like that, but the aneurysm took away a lot more, really. Took away my speech and my ability to walk. And, you know, I got my speech back quickly, but the walking I’m still struggling with. But I mean, I’m a fighter. I’ve got Irish blood! [long laugh] So you know, I knew, “Here I go again, another battle.” [The kitten is now happily crawling up her neck.] Look at this face! He looks like my baby. The high cheekbones and everything.

The only thing that stops large black men having PCP or DXM(Robotripping) induced psychotic episodes are multiple center mass hits. How many shots did it take to stop the gentle giant Michael Brown from the time he started his charge on Officer Darren Wilson, closed the distance, began assaulting him, and finally dropped dead? And remember the gentle giant did not have a knife. Answer: TEN SHOTS!!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Michael_Brown#Shooting_scene

Tasers are worse than useless because in these cases, the perp’s pain tolerance is sky high. You are praying that you can get enough current to disable muscle control. Unlikely!!! Didn’t work with Rodney King or hundreds of other large black men in the last 3 decades.

Police batons are useless unless you can literally beat the suspect unconscious which takes multiple blows from multiple cops, see Rodney King.
Besides do cops even carry batons anymore?

Trayvon, Michael Brown, Rodney King, hundreds more… all PCP/DXM abusers.

A person with a knife is armed …..police have the same right of self defense as you or I…….please try not to say stupid shit in these comments.

To me, this is a tragic situation. The man shot had a history of mental problems, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

How is it that he wasn’t able to get the proper medical care he required? By time the cops have to be called out because a mentally ill person is walking down the street with a knife, it’s already way too late.

NJTC–don’t dispute technical truth of your words.

But i’ve been annoyed with this whole line of thinking my entire life–since i heard about this noxious “insanity defense”. (F’-ing lawyers).

There aren’t two people, some inner “person” separate from the person doing nasty crazy shit on the ground. Heck, i’m a smart guy–at least in the SAT sense, relative to the low bar set by my fellow humans–but i’ve done plenty of stupid stuff. (I’m trying to educate my kids to be functionally smarter.) There isn’t some idealized form of “AnotherDad” that’s the real me. No all my stupid shit is “me” too. My fault–i own it. Crazy knife man is crazy knife man.

Religious people can posit a separate “soul”. But that’s God’s business, not the cops.

I’m sick and tired of all the whining and pouting over criminals, crazy and scum.

I want to live in a civilized Western nation–where a young maiden may walk the street unmolested, her virtue intact. All the criminals, crazies and lowlife scum who try and mess that up–kill ’em or toss them out. (Aleutian exile?) They don’t create civilization, the don’t get to live in it.

Give ’em the Cathar treatment: Kill them all and let God sort them out.

Civilization–our neighborhoods and nation–should be maintained for the benefit of civilized people who live here. And you don’t create or maintain civilization if you’re a pussy.

GOP files second request for Supreme Court to block Pennsylvania mail-in ballot extension…
If the court declines the GOP bid, mail ballots in Pennsylvania will be counted as long as they are postmarked by Nov. 3 — or have no legible postmark — and are received up to three days after Election Day….Republicans’ latest request comes less than a week after the Supreme Court left intact Pennsylvania’s mail-ballot extension with a 4-4 deadlock.

Jimmy Buffett had more success, I guess because he wasn’t so much of a drunkard (if he drunk at all, I dunno).

Buffett had his share of booze and drugs in the 70s, but by the standards of Key West, I don’t think he was out of control. At one point his girlfriend left him and moved to Montana. They gave it a few years, and then got back together and I believe are still married. You’ll notice there was a spate of Montana love songs produced during this period.

Buffet’s sister is (was?) married to the novelist Thomas McGuane. I believe that Buffett has also produced at least one volume of short stories. Interesting guy, seemingly very low key and fun-loving, but also obviously quite ambitious and focused. Pre-Covid, his hotels and restaurants did quite well.

The Guardian is basically Salon with a bigger budget. They make NYT look good in comparison.

I agree. Go to a good Mexican grocery store (every city has at least one). Buy an assortment of dried chilis. Learn what each one tastes like, and make your own blend.

Having said that, I have to admit that I am from Louisiana, cook a lot of Cajun and Creole dishes, and I keep a big can of Tony Chachere’s seasoning blend, rather than mix up my own. I’ve never been in a Louisiana kitchen that didn’t have one.

We’ve been through this before: he’s not getting over a bad divorce, he’s still recovering from his Senior Prom.

Only in certain low IQ communities do people riot, loot & burn because they are upset by a man with a knife attacking police and getting rightfully killed. This Thug had 18 prior arrests with 5 assaults on cops.

Sadly, their vote means zilch. For everyone of them there are 20 Westchester wine ladies to cancel their votes.

The lines of people voting early this weekend in my Westchester town were longer then anything I’ve ever seen. Of course that’s partly because of social distancing rules so they could be deceiving.

Several per year of such shootings. Recent tragedy:

“Should a deranged murderer be left to roam the streets terrorizing people because he’s been deemed insane?”
Nope. that’s why we have the idea of criminal insanity. John Hinckley Junior wasn’t guilty because of insanity. He is still locked up. He will likely always be a danger until very near the end of his life. We don’t need more victims of political violence.

I see you did not answer the question about the 5 year old. Answer it. That will let you know why we evaluate the mental state of someone before adjudging them guilty of a crime. It is absolutely the right way to operate.

Otherwise, we move into a world of all crimes being “malum prohibutum,” rather than malum in se. Malum in se requires that the crime being prosecuted be KNOWN to be wrong by the person doing the crime.

Otherwise, all laws are just the government saying “because I said so.” Tell me you don’t really want that world. For a cheap and easy refutation, should differing-race people who got married under miscegenation laws be prosecuted for that?

I can reccomend his short story collection.

This summer a former Obama campaign advisor was canceled for pointing out that violent protests empirically cause the left to lose votes.

It seems like the narrative this year was more about fighting for who gets to dominate the Democratic Party after its elder statesmen die/retire than it was about scaring people away from voting Trump.

Hey eeyores! From the Center for Immigration Studies:

In the first two years of the Trump administration (2017 to 2019), growth in the immigrant population (legal and illegal) averaged only about 200,000 a year, in contrast to 650,000 a year from 2010 to 2017.

Why?

Trump administration policies that may have caused the slowdown include:

A significant reduction in the number of refugees allowed into the country;

Requiring immigrant self-sufficiency through reform of the public charge rules;

Modest administrative changes that may have had a cumulative effect;

Agreements with Mexico and Central American countries to offer safe haven to people seeking asylum;

Increased barriers and fencing at the border;

More worksite enforcement against illegal workers and some employers; and

Efforts to end TPS and DACA, which may have increased out-migration and/or discouraged new illegal immigration.

Not bad for a guy who does nothing but bloviate about himself and who is hindered at every turn.

Republicans’ latest request comes less than a week after the Supreme Court left intact Pennsylvania’s mail-ballot extension with a 4-4 deadlock.

And guess what just happened to the 4-4 deadlock? Poor John Roberts. He can’t be the compromised traitor getting strange new respect from the media anymore for his “even-handed” approach. Now he’s just farting into the wind. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

Of course, given the history of the Court, the great ACB might vote with the Liberals on this. We won’t know until it happens.

My own observation of crazy street people is that blacks are much louder and more aggressive than other races.

So whereas a crazy White guy might sit there muttering and cursing to himself, a crazy black guy will actually attack.

I like “DIY Reparations”.

Maybe it will also energize more blacks to turn out because Biden says the cops should shoot people in the leg?

Thanks for the additional info. I know a few people who are connected to Jimmy Buffett in various ways. His sailing songs are the best, but he also got into flying after sailing, a natural progression. He had a bad takeoff with his sea plane off Nantucket and wrecked it, not total, though (lucky to come out OK for him, but he credits some Navy training involving a Tomcat ride for his being able to swim away).

The keys are very laid back (been there a bunch) and that was a great place for the guy. I don’t think he liked the cold either, just judging by his “This morning, I shot six holes in my freezer. I think I got cabin fever. I want to go where it’s warm!” from his Boat Drinks off of his Volcano album, which I think was underplayed.

Of course, the lady in Montana was mentioned in Come Monday off of Livin’ and Dyin’ in 3/4 Time, but he mentions staying at a Holiday Inn in Missoula where this group of surgeons meets every year for a conference and lots of drinks in Miss you so Badly off Changes in Latitudes and has that great line “I don’t think I’m gonna ever let ’em cut on me.”

He is a great songwriter. Listen:

The Dems keep playing the same song, that Trump is a racist.

But he now has support from Kanye, 50 Cent and Ice Cube, three of the most popular and wealthy black rappers of the last 2 decades. It seems to me that would at least keep the number of black male Biden voters down in this cycle.

The anti-Trump black pop singers tend to be like that disgusting Cardi-B, who only appeals to kids too young to vote or care.

A young maiden should not leave the house unchaperoned or uncovered.

Yes indeed. If it interrupts voting in Philadelphia it is a very good thing for the state of PA. Also for all the MAGA diehards, let Democrats in the city and state own their mess for a change.

Agree. I think the shy woman vote is much bigger than the shy man vote.

Women are way better at lying, especially to their friends.

This Philadelphia imbroglio was clearly an Outlook user error. The rioting is supposed to start NEXT Monday night, around 11:00 PM Eastern, when the networks are forced to call the election for Trump.

There is a DNC admin who is about to lose her job. “Becca, I told you to calendar the rioting for Monday, 11/2, not 10/26!”

How about this incident?

Sleepy Joe is all done in PA:

…Troubling for Mr. Biden in a different way is the fact that he has not yet matched Mrs. Clinton’s share of support in Philadelphia proper. Averaging the results of the two recent polls, he has the backing of 73 percent of Philadelphia voters, down from 83 percent for Mrs. Clinton in 2016. According to the Times/Siena poll, Mr. Trump was supported by 24 percent of Philadelphians, nine points ahead of his exit poll numbers in 2016.

If it’s a new rule that the cops can no longer shoot people who are about to stab them then it’s all over for urban America. Cops are not going to agree to allow themselves to be stabbed. Either they will shoot or they will quit. (BTW did they mention the race of the cops?) If every time a black is shot by police there is a riot then business in our cities is not possible.

We’re doing plenty of completely insane stuff–mass immigration, female careerism/dysgenic fertility, massive China trade deficits, money printing without end– that is clearly illogical and unsustainable, destructive to maintaining a prosperous civilized nation … because people with 1500 SAT scores deem it “wisdom”, “who who we are”.

What’s one more illogical piece of nonsense gonna do? Drive a few more businesses out to some suburban whitetopia? Construction dollars!

We’re living off the civilizational, physical and reputational capital that my ancestors built up conquering and settling and building America. Now the joint’s run by greedy, graspy and clueless a*holes and we’re running that down.

But to quote some smarty pants Scot, “there’s a great deal of ruin in a nation”.

Oh, come on Man, it’s not like white people never ran wild through supermarkets! Skip to 8:00.

In a more sane world, blacks would thank police for taking this lunatic out of their midst. How many fellow blacks would he have killed (or has he already killed)?

John McNesby, President of FOP Lodge 5 was just on the radio and stated that the decedent’s rap sheet includes 18 priors, 5 of which are assault on a Police Officer.

So this guy was something of a professional, and it was probably only a matter of time for him.

George Floyd’s constant “contact with law enforcement” is like how a compulsive spender has “constant contact” with debt.

Looks like Trump just carried Pennsylvania especially if there’s looting in center city. Hey, what do you expect when the police commissioner’s last job was head of police in Portland? When she was told officers are forbidden to paint their nails the first thing she did was allow officers to paint their nails. That’s about the only thing she’s done since taking the position.

It’s not Center City or the outlying hipster enclaves to watch, it is what is left of South Philadelphia, Northeast Philadelphia, and the near suburbs. A session of rioting may motivate some of those otherwise low intensity voters, or pressure a “shy Trump” vote.

@ 0:15 a black woman seemed to be trying to control the situation, so it’s possible if the police retreated to their car or even left the guy would have calmed down for the day. But most likely it was suicide by cop so he would have eventually been successful.

I know someone who is a cop at the capitol. He could be in for an interesting week or two.

White people run wild through foreign nations not local supermarkets.

I heard (informally, of course) that the gang responsible for the attack on the Japanese jazz pianist was white, hailing from the Southern Baptist Convention. Its members were reportedly upset at the pianist for his “sacrilegious” use of diminished ninth chords, commonly found in the chord progressions for many gospel songs.

The national media may ignore these riots, but the local PA media certainly can’t.

And PA is likely the key to the election.

You ever been to Terlingua? Cemetery is filled with people who died young. Apparently there’s mercury in the drinking water.

Anyone who’s made it to 16 years old who commits murder should be executed. I don’t care whether he claims mental deficiencies or that the devil made him do it. An eye for an eye and all that.

A person who’s lived less than 16 years, should be dealt with on a case by case basis. If you’re unable, or unwilling, to understand why there’s a difference, you ain’t as smart as you think. Even if you looked up a few Latin phrases.

A national news outlet is less than the sum of its local affiliates, even if the same local news is happening everywhere.

Technically speaking Mitchell is not a cat lady – she had a child out of wedlock (a quaint notion) when she was 21 but she gave her up for adoption and did not see her again for over 30 years.

I just heard a radio ad for some cute little taser for ladies. Googled it and saw quite a burgeoning market for ladies’ tasers and stun guns. Great idea for Christmas, I suppose — but what kind of demographic is buying these things?

USA Today meanwhile blasted a big front-page headline yesterday assuring us that their own research finds the protests have been mostly peaceful despite Trump’s claim of violence

These riots expose the pathology of misdirected rage within the black community. They know they can’t fix the problems from within, so the rage focuses outward. It’s the same thing as when you see two black girls fighting over a guy who cheated on both of them, while he stands on the sidelines recording the fight with his cellphone and laughing. This will never end.

If it’s a new rule that the cops can no longer shoot people who are about to stab them then it’s all over for urban America. Cops are not going to agree to allow themselves to be stabbed. Either they will shoot or they will quit. (BTW did they mention the race of the cops?) If every time a black is shot by police there is a riot then business in our cities is not possible.

I think the tacit accord between the low part of the Democratic coalition (i.e., underclass blacks) and the high part of the Democratic coalition (the Press, UMC types, suburban AWFLS) is that the police should in many circumstances sacrifice themselves bodily for the sake of racial harmony. In this case, so maybe one or both officers would have been maimed or killed, but in the latter case we would have had a nice memorial and some beef and beer fundraisers for their kids’ college fund. They’d be remembered fondly as heroes and everything would quickly return to the status quo ante.

The blacks seem to want to be left alone to live in a parallel society outside of legal norms, while the high Democratic coalition members don’t seem to want to be bothered with the gritty edges of life and want to disclaim knowledge of what it takes to keep the underclass in some sort of check so that they themselves can have nice things. The latter seem to have about as much interest in knowing about the day to day act of policing as they do about garbage men or septic tank cleaners – they seem to really not want to be bothered to think about the sights, sounds, smells, and blood-and-bone nature of the whole affair.

The solution of the high end of the coalition seems to be to throw cops into the volcano from time to time in order to preserve their own ignorance and innocence.

John Hinckley Junior wasn’t guilty because of insanity. He is still locked up. He will likely always be a danger until very near the end of his life.

Hinkley began a series of limited releases to stay with his parents in 1999. These releases grew over time. He was released permanently in 2016 and is today living as a free man, albeit with a number of restrictions.

A gang of “yutes” in Harlem? I think most people can do the math on their own. The fact that the NYT doesn’t mention their race just confirms it.

OT: On Twitter, I just clicked on “Michigan: Election news and updates: The latest news, updates and information on the 2020 election from local media, journalists and civil society organizations in Michigan”.

Philadelphia Police Fatally Shoot a Black Man Who They Say Had a Knife

However you have to search for it. It’s not on the main web page. No one (except the NY Times) disputes that the guy had a knife. The snarky headline implies that the cops may be lying.

It’s good to know though that even though Walter Wallace Jr. was batshit crazy and lived with his parents, he did manage to become a father during his brief time on earth.

The sad thing about this is that it was his mom who called the cops. When mentally ill people go nuts the people around them rightfully fear for their lives and they sometimes feel as if they have no choice but to call 911. But when the cops get there, they have no magic way to disarm the crazy person. In the old days, a guy like Walter would have been safely locked away in a state mental hospital without access to sharp objects but they’ve closed most of them.

To quote another smarty pants Scot, America,as it were,”kin take no more! She’s gonna BLOW!!!”

If Trump had his rhetorical shit together, he’d have made this point, and wrapped up a consistent message that blacks need the same thing as other Americans–the rule of law, keeping their neighbors safe, and an end to illegal and mass immigration to preserve their jobs, wages, housing and schools so they and their children can live their American Dream.

True, Trump could do that. But blacks already have their own controlled “leadership” in people like Kamala Harris and Al Sharpton. They advocate for emasculated police forces, mass immigration, and everything else that’s disastrous for blacks. The powers that be have no real concern for blacks, except in so far as they can be used as a tool in the dispossession of whites – and so far they’ve proved fairly effective for that purpose.

Ah, but the Philadelphia media are adept at lying through their teeth, or at minimum, lying by omission. The spin doctors are, no doubt, hard at work muddying the waters as I write this.

Finally, after enough of this, coupled with a campaign on my part pointing out their sedulous deceptions to my wife, who, having pre-CoVID in part commuted to work on the Market Street subway, and thus having gotten a constant dose of kneegro dysfunction shoved in her unwilling face every damn day, was well prepped for this campaign, we pulled the plug on our subscription to the Philadelphia Inquirer, a formerly reputable newspaper organization. We don’t really miss it., and easily resisted their siren song asking for our return. Fuck ’em, they made themselves comprehensibly repellent with their deranged, tone deaf leftist slant.

The Philadelphia police on Monday fatally shot a 27-year-old Black man who they said was armed with a knife, touching off protests and violent clashes. The city’s mayor said the shooting raised “difficult questions that must be answered.” https://t.co/hxRbcOiRTg

— The New York Times (@nytimes) October 27, 2020

By the time that Walter charged the police with his knife, it was far too late. They really had no choice but to put him down like a rabid dog. (All those saying, as the papers say, that he was not within “arm’s reach” are talking nonsense. He could have closed the gap and stabbed the cops faster than you can read these words.)

BUT, Walter didn’t just wake up schizophrenic yesterday. He’s probably been like this for years. At one time, humane societies segregated the insane from everyone else, for their own safety and for the safety of society. But this is one of those things that we don’t do anymore (at least not until they have committed serious crimes – if Walter had stabbed the cops THEN they would have locked him up in a mental hospital where he should have been in the 1st place). Sometimes being kind is the greatest cruelty – by being “kind” to Walter and allowing him to roam the streets, we have in the end inflicted the greatest cruelty on him and it was completely foreseeable that this would happen. This was not the first time that Walter had “acted up”. Young black males are violent to begin with and if mental illness removes their inhibitions then they are even more violent and dangerous. If Walter had instead knifed his momma (as he apparently was threatening to do when she called the cops) this would not have even made the back pages of the local paper.

This song is by Ray Wylie Hubbard

I know. Love her stuff, but I bet her daughter would rather have had a mother, than the world get “Blue” or “Court and Spark”. Absolutely awful thing to do to a child, unless you are literally starving or there’s a war on and you want to save her. Worst betrayal possible.

Still, a couple of years later and Kilauren would have been killed in utero, then she’d be the genuine article.

“But my daughter is a very difficult girl, you know? Mother-daughter – it’s a very hard relationship, and she’s going to have to forgive me. There’s going to have to be a lot of forgiveness before we can really get along. But I expected that. I didn’t think it would be all roses. Kilauren is holding a grudge. It’s something she’s going to have to work through. I can’t really help her with it. She’s going to have to help herself. We’ll see what happens.”

Holding a grudge? Whatever could be the reason?

From the Guardian interview:

“I’d have a strong, palpitating attraction to somebody; that’s what I called love, I guess… I’ve loved quite a few people, and by that I mean I really feel happy in their company. That’s pretty much it – the joy of someone’s company. That’s what I call love.”

Isn’t that what Heartiste would call “feelz”? What makes you love someone is how they make you feel? It’s certainly not Sonnet 116.

Well at least the cops didn’t shoot “muh wheelz”

Had a truck run over a cop my way literally EVERY unit within a 50 mile range would go into shark hunt mode and would shoot to kill on site…..as in once the truck was spotted they’d shoot AT THE DRIVER…..they don’t tolerate cop killers in many parts of the country……

Oh, and along with personal tasers there’s a popular new Uber-like app called Bond where New Yorkers can quickly hire a bodyguard for a half-hour at a time, say if they need to walk somewhere

“We won’t know the gender until our child is 18 and that they’ll let us know then.”

Model Emily Ratajkowski has announced her pregnancy with a personal essay exploring questions of her unborn child’s gender and identity.

It’s interesting how models like Emily Ratajkowski who go on and on about gender indeterminacy usually don’t happen to be terribly gender indeterminate themselves. It’s almost as if being highly gender determinate is the prime way to being a model.

Indeed. I know that I certainly have very little difficulty determining Miss Ratajkowski’s gender….

By the time that Walter charged the police with his knife, it was far too late. They really had no choice but to put him down like a rabid dog. (All those saying, as the papers say, that he was not within “arm’s reach” are talking nonsense. He could have closed the gap and stabbed the cops faster than you can read these words.)

Law Enforcement personnel are trained that the distance at which an edged weapon is deadly is 21 feet – in other words, after studying the circumstance it was concluded that a man with an edged weapon can close 21 feet and inflict a fatal wound while being shot. Therefore the use of deadly force is justified in defense of the Officer’s life and safety at 21 feet.

I’ve seen the video, and Walter was much closer than 21 feet with knife in hand when he was first shot.

I’ve already shared your Polish joke . Thanks .

The man couldn’t get the medical care he needed because of a Satanic Supreme Court ruling. O’Connor vs Donaldson 1975 that closed down the mental hospitals.

Contrary to every MSM lie you’ve ever read, Ronald Regean has nothing to do with it as he was neither a state governor nor president at the time.

Like every other ruinous, devastating destructive thing since school desegregation, Brown 1953 uncared for, mentally ill, often homeless people are the result of the satanic supremes’ rulings.

Some mentally ill people are capable of maintaining a home and seeing a Dr regularly and taking their medicine and staying off alcohol and illegal drugs.

Other mentally ill people need to be cared for in a place where they get shelter, food, clean clothes and medical care.

Generally I agree with you, but you must realize that stupid, crazy, or drugged-up people are by far the majority of violent people that the police face. Is there really no better way to handle them than to shoot? Of course there is, but so many of their tools are gone, and the ultimate police threat, “you’ll be committed to an institution,” has been completely wiped out.

There simply must be a middle course between involuntary commitment and letting crazy people on drugs roam the streets. We’ve gone overboard (I think, but maybe the old way was better) both ways and it’s high time to come up with a new plan.

Nothing makes blacks more contemptuous than a white person who does them a favor.

It’s interesting how models like Emily Ratajkowski who go on and on about gender indeterminacy usually don’t happen to be terribly gender indeterminate themselves. It’s almost as if being highly gender determinate is the prime way to being a model.

I imagine that she has little fear that her child will be gender ambiguous, and therefore feels safe in proclaiming her virtue thinking that she’ll never pay a price for it.

Bigger Street Pooper –

Harris or Pelosi ?

Emily Ratajkowski = I tweak yo milk jars.

I’m fully already competent on those Latin phrases And didn’t have to look them up, though I did learn them well after my schooling days were over. My problem is this: there are plenty of “crimes” out there (see the book Three Felonies a Day, for example) that are simply you doing things that are against “the law.” Id like crimes to be, you know, actually wrong. Not like when JimComey convicted Martha Stewart of a felony for lying to the FBI about a matter that was not a crime. Do you agree that that was a crime? You may be pretty far gone.

But I don’t think you are. Take murder: a quick definition has “the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought.” That malice aforethought is kind of important in there, and requires the prosecution to show that the murderer knew what he was doing was wrong, and that he premeditated the act. You know that a 5 year old cannot premeditate; 16 year olds probably can, and that’s why we have people like fathers teaching restraint on capabilities.

Would you kill people for manslaughter, too? Practically speaking, what would be the effect of this? In Singapore, armed robbery brings the death penalty, as would murder. Knowing he will be hanged for armed robbery, would this not incentivize a non-insane armed robber to eliminate the most immediate witnesses to his crime?

Dunno about NYC but in the Midwest the looting may be Black, but the arson is white. In the PNW there aren’t enough Blacks so they compensate with more arson

In my published in the 1950s grade school history books a big deal was made of a woman named Dorethea Dix. She was an 1830s school teacher who crusaded for government funded mental hospitals to care for the mentally ill rather than their families doing the best they could which sometimes involved locking them in the attic or shed. Dix was a hero who saved the mentally ill from abuse and sometimes a life in the streets.

She had a big entry in all the encyclopedias too. She was a hero of the psychiatric psychology professions

Then the Satanic Supremes closed down all the mental hospitals O’Connor vs Donaldson 1975.

That’s a bad argument against abolishing execution for retards. All laws *ARE* the gov’t saying “Because I say so.” Ever hear of monopoly on violence? Just hanging or shooting someone after the appropriate number of appeals and special pleadings is not violence. It’s an orderly killing of someone who has forfeited on the social contract. However, I would be open to restricting capital punishment for political crimes like treason. Martyr production isn’t socially useful function of the law and besides, I don’t trust federal prosecutors. Kidnapping is still OK as a capital crime. A psychotic imbecile facing execution for espionage would be an interesting case for YouTube legal vloggers, but it makes for bad law

This BBC article – no doubt written through gritted teeth – employs the phrase “looted in protests” which I suppose is marginally better than ‘looted in protest’.

Well, it’s pretty rotten living in a black city, period.

I wonder if the Journolisterati will have a secret meeting after the election when, nod nod, wink wink, they agree that the BLM/AntiFa thingy drove the whole middle class into Trump’s corner.

And some people imagine white folks are ignorant buffoons, and even “conservative” talking heads write about how great it will be when they’re gone. I bet a certain FBI agent could just smell the Trump voters there.

Elegant Jazz Lady vs the Drunken Goyim reminds me of Lenny Bruce who said he could prove that no white man was racist. Imagine you’re stranded on a desert island. You have a choice of companion for the rest of your life. The choices are Kate Smith and Lena Horne.

For you kids, that’s Rosanne Barr and Halle Berry.

Black turnout in this election is a wild card. In 2016 it decreased from previous highs under Obama, but remained higher than it was during the elections George W. Bush won in 2000 and 2004. Based on turnout models I have seen, a small increase or decrease in black turnout from 2016 would not an impact on any individual state results. It would need to go to either Obama or Bush election win levels to make a difference.

[[[Question Difficulty Intensifies]]]

Foot fetish vote, an important segment of the Democrat vote. Their favorite film maker is Tarantino.

“Emergency reparations”?

So she wouldn’t allow her son to become trans before turning 18, is that an allowed opinion on the left? Does Joe Biden know about this bigotry?

She has another interview where she cries when she finds out she is having a boy. Her friend has a three year old boy and keeps a journal about what her husband does that makes her angry, including sleeping peacefully.

And they say that (most) women don’t wanted to be treated as sex objects.

Here are my words of wisdom: virtually all women, with very few exceptions, would die to be lusted after as sex objects- only if they could.

would this not incentivize a non-insane armed robber to eliminate the most immediate witnesses to his crime?

I have heard this argument to argue against implementing caller id a long time ago. What if a murder calls you by accident and you tell him that you have his number? He will have to eliminate you too. It’s thinking in terms of Hollywood safety.

Looks like Trump just carried Pennsylvania especially if there’s looting in center city.

Why? Is Biden the incumbent?

If these riots helped Biden they would be broadcasting the riots on CNN 24/7

Trump wins PA if white turnout is high. The rioting highlights another reason to vote for Trump, so those who may be upset about the Wall not getting done may decide to vote for Trump despite his shortcomings. Trump needs higher white turnout this year to make-up for the loss of so many White voters since 2016.

PA is now 80% white , down from 81% in 2016 when 56% of white Pennsylvanians voted for Trump. To Win this year the white turnout needs to be higher or 57% of whites need to vote for Trump. At this point it looks like Trump will win PA again.

(Shakes head… rolls eyeballs upwardly…sighs theatrically)

One of the great Gallows Humor movies of all time. My favorite gag in that scene is the two soldiers doing the manual of arms with an infantry weapon that can only be used while standing straight up, and in the open, clear of any cover or concealment. I suspect not many of the people who make movies have ever been in combat and been shot at.

It’s obvious that his parents, or at least his Mom were was doing the best they she could. At least he had a place to live. He’s not the only mentally ill person whose long suffering parents had to call the police with tragic results for everyone involved.

There’s a reason why models shouldn’t talk – the same reason that intellectuals shouldn’t do swimsuit modeling. Having a beautiful body doesn’t make your thoughts profound.

The mistake we make in our modern society is to look at models (and actresses, comedians, etc.) as actual models for conducting our lives and as founts of wisdom on social and political matters rather than as literal mannequins. I really wouldn’t mind it if more American women relied on Emily’s advice on hair and makeup and weight control (ESPECIALLY weight control). She clearly knows a lot about such matters (although much of her success must be due to her natural uh.. endowments). But you have to be an idiot to take child rearing advice from her.

Recently I came across a bio of Johnny Carson which stated that he NEVER made his political views publicly known. He said that he wanted to entertain people and that taking political stands would detract from that. Johnny would make political jokes but they were aimed equally at all parties. Recently I came across an article saying that on the late night TV shows someone actually counted and 95% of the (usually barbed) jokes were aimed at Trump rather than Biden. I don’t think most of them even count as jokes anymore – they are just lectures.

> @ 0:15 [in the cell phone video,] a black woman seemed to be trying to control the situation, so it’s possible if the police retreated to their car or even left the guy would have calmed down for the day.

Yes. Cops retreat and:
– Mom calms Walter down (69%)
– A social worker arrives in time to calm Walter down (1%)
– Walter gets tired of knife-waving, goes back home after a while (20%)
– Walter gets even more agitated and stabs mom (8%) or a bystander (2%)

So, you and me are playing Cop For A Day:
– Retreat, 90% chance everything works out (for us)
– Do the job. ‘Community’ is protected (100%), Walter is subdued (50%) or shot (50%), we are crucified as racists, fired, indicted (>50%).

What do we do?

But being a cop is a career. If a situation is encountered once a week, what are the odds that doing the job leads to personal disaster (crucifiction/firing/indictment) over the course of a year?

Surviving family of mom and bystander aren’t going to like the results of the perverse incentives that the mainstream media, Democratic party, BLM, and Antifa are implementing. Defunding the police as a side effect of making it impossible for good cops to work in ‘diverse’ neighborhoods.

Of course, the bereaved can always hire Ben Crump and play the legal lottery.

The media are hiding the story. If they thought it would gain enough Black votes relative to white votes the media and Biden and the Democrats would be promoting the story. The fact that Biden and his surrogates keep mum about what occurred yesterday in Philadelphia tells us they want the story to vanish, they want the rioting to end because it will help Trump win.

Since there are 8 times as many Whites voters in PA than Black voters , the rioting by Blacks against police will mostly inspire more whites to vote. Democrats fear a high white turnout in PA. Trump won in 2016 mostly due to a higher white turnout. Whites voted the same in 2012 and 2016 with 56% voting for the GOP presidential candidate in both elections. The key difference- White turnout was up and Black turnout was down. This is why Biden selected a Black VP, he really needs the Black turnout to be up over 2016 to win PA.

Drudge Report … which is now a leading anti-Trump website, had nothing as of 2 am this morning … but it was already all over Gateway Pundit and ProTrumpNews.com (Drudge spoof)

Democrats are telegraphing pretty clearly what this means. It will be interesting to see if higher ups in the Biden camp dont use their hotline to Antifa and tell them to stand down and stand by for 7 more days.

Personally, the only late night guy I’ve heard tell actual funny jokes about Trump has been Conan O’Brian.

What a great album Ladies of the Canyon was!

You’re missing the possibility that the cops let Walter get a little bit too close and he stabs one of them. Maybe they’ve fired their taser or even their guns but Walter keeps coming for long enough to kill or maim one of the cops.

If this happened, the cop would get a really nice funeral but in Current Year America there would be no backlash from white people. Nothing like the Tulsa riots. No repercussions for the black community. It’s a one way street. Black people – “you touch one of ours and we riot”. White people = “crickets”.

Jennifer Lawrence: I voted for John McCain rather than Barack Obama
The actor says she voted for the Republican party the first time she was eligible but Donald Trump’s election ‘changed everything’

The actor Jennifer Lawrence used to vote Republican, she has revealed. Speaking on Dear Media’s Absolutely Not podcast, Lawrence told host Heather McMahan she “grew up Republican. My first time voting, I voted for John McCain. I was a little Republican.”

Lawrence said she remained grateful for her upbringing as it enabled her to “see the fiscal benefits of some of the Republican policies” while also noting that her and the party’s views on social issues “weren’t in line”.

“When Donald Trump got elected, that just changed everything,” said Lawrence. “This is an impeached president who’s broken many laws and refused to condemn white supremacy and it feels there’s been a line drawn in the sand.”

It’s interesting how insane war-monger McCain is politically acceptable, while Trump is beyond the pale….

“The Texas Jimmy Buffet”

Now I know why the fans and performers of Yacht Rock hate hate hate Jimmy Buffet.

“Perhaps the best approach is to take the via negativa and approach the question by looking at the one song that everyone agrees is Not Yacht: Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville.”

“We can read between the lines in all the things his interviewees keep coming back to: sophistication, complexity, professionalism.Other noted elements, such as the reliance on studio technology and, most importantly, session players rather than “band members,” follow therefrom, because required by, these characteristics. Yacht Rock is essentially white music, because Yacht Rock is a product of the white soul. Blue-eyed soul, indeed.

“Which doesn’t mean that every white guy can play it; it’s a bell curve kinda thing. Jimmy Buffet? Here’s Steve “Hollywood Steve” Huey of the Beyond Yacht Rock podcast: ‘We hate Jimmy Buffett. Fucking hate that guy. His lyrics are dumb, the escapist fantasies he paints are just lame . . . and the biggest thing about why we don’t consider him yacht rock is his music is very, very simple.’”

White flight is White revenge for the destruction of the cities by blacks.

Thanks for mentioning that it was ‘since Kenosha’ the media blackout on BLM rioting and looting. I just felt that it had stopped at some point, but I didn’t know that it had been exactly that. So we often are not going to know when and where these things are still happening, even in our own cities.

Equip ALL police cars with a 40mm rotary launcher and bean bag rounds then the coppers could whip the knife wielder asses even if they miss initially.

Countermeasures against covid like social distancing and masking lowered flu infections during the flu season. The Big Pharma does not like that people are learning that masking and social distancing is a more effective countermeasure against flu than flu vaccines. Fortunately for the Big Pharma they can count on support from the anti-masking and “it is just a flu” useful idiots. Many of them are committed anti-vaxxers.

Reality note.

When they move to America, the Chinese, as well as other Asians vote the black Jewish Hispanic asian mena anti White party, the Democrats.

So whatever Chinese in China think of blacks, as soon as Chinese immigrants can vote they vote solidly Democrat in solidarity with the other critters of color. American Chinese, even Gold Rush descendants vote solidly for the anti White democrat party too.

If the crazy public and the black anarchists think the cops should use tasers or just shoot suspects in the leg then why aren’t they doing the same in the hood. Just think of all the brain surgeons, doctors, lawyers and rocket scientists lives that could be saved.
Has anyone ever asked Joe what his security details orders are in regards to a maniac with a gun/knife attack on the former Veep. Of course not. The attacker is a Trump supporter…KILL HIM.

The mental health system is an old tired band-aid with no, ‘stick’ left in it. You cannot help guys like this except by putting them behind bars and we won’t maybe can’t lock them up.

Good thing she’s on the job, can’t have shoddy nails
