Another BSK

Thanks to Earl P. Holt III for finding another black serial killer that the rot-gut MSM won’t peddle any moral indignation over. This one’s name is Arthur Bomar, and offed four or five people in the Philadelphia area and in Nevada.

Even With the Wind to Their Backs

Seven million Americans are in prison, on probation or parole at the end of 2005.  As usual, any good or bad article about the American criminal justice system will mention the disparity of men over women and of blacks over other racial groups.

The most noteworthy thing about racial minorities and these parameters are that, especially with blacks, they have the wind to their backs, so to speak, when it comes to disposition of criminal cases.

First, Federal Civil Rights laws almost ensure that non-white criminal defendants have at least one of their racial brethren on a criminal jury, increasing the chances of race-based jury nullification.

Second, blacks tend to live in majority black areas, where there are racially friendly and usually black judges who will hand out lenient sentences.

Third, black jurisdictions tend to have criminal-friendly black prosecutors or pandering white liberal prosecutors, that often turn their heads when it comes to black crime.

Fourth, blacks tend to live in areas where their crime is so incessant and pandemic that it weakens the effectiveness of the police to combat relatively less serious crimes.

Fifth, blacks tend to live in areas where Federal Civil Rights laws command that their law enforcement carry some quota of black police officers, and they tend to turn the other way when it comes to black crime.

Sixth, such police departments tend to have heavy black or white pandering leadership, which order their front-line officers to stand down on black crime.

Seventh, “racial profiling” prohibitions hamstring even honest and competent police officers from combatting black crime.

I could probably go “Eighth” through “Three hundred and forty ninth” with some more thought.

But even with all those advantages working in their favor, blacks are disproportionately represented on the prison, probation and parole rolls compared to other racial groups.  If the System were genuinely fair, the disparity would be higher still.

The Educated and the Demagogic

If you have been listening to the Michael Savage show over the last two nights, particularly the show on Tuesday night, you know that he has displayed a sort of rude, arrogant and condescending consternation over the news that 45% of Americans doubt human evolution. He launched into tirades against “religious fundamentalism,” and compared Christian fundamentalists to the Afghani Taliban, and bemoaned the fact that there are large populations that doubt (what he considers to be) an open-and-shut matter as proven by modern science.

There is a particular irony about Savage doing this.

In the days leading up to, and immediately after, the November 2006 midterm elections, Savage made clear his unqualified support for raising the minimum wage, as a measure of alleviating poverty.

Now, you think someone with “two Masters degrees and a real Ph.D.,” as Savage so condescendingly reminds us on a daily basis that he has earned, (as if a man or woman who couldn’t match his sheepskin collection wouldn’t know his or her posterior from a hole in the ground), would have had at least one economics class where he would have learned about the microeconomic ramifications of price floors and the relevance of that part of the economic science on the minimum wage.

To be frank, I think Savage knows better, and he is engaging in a demagogic ploy for ratings, for adulation and attention from the liberal mainstream press, and for differentiation from most other conservative talk radio hosts, by advocating the minimum wage increase.

However, let’s operate under the assumption that he is bona fide about wanting to see the minimum wage raised. Juxtapose this with his arrogant pro-evolution histrionics from two nights ago, and so note the irony.

On the one hand, he wants us to overcome our fundamentalist faith and superstition to accept truths (supposedly) arrived upon by the scientific method. On the other hand, he wants to jettison the scientific method to accept an emotionally popular and superstitious position.

When “Packing Heat” is a Double Entendre

The following block quote is not a real story. It is an adaptation of a real news story with a few words changed. Compare the blockquote to the corresponding paragraphs of the real thing, and you will understand my point.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT: YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD CARRY GUNS

Because of the increasing number of violent crimes, the British Government has launched a safety campaigned designed to raise awareness among young people.

Four million pounds are allocated for this safety campaign which is targeting people aged 18 to 25.

Messages that are about to appear on radio, the Internet, television and magazines/newspapers focus on the importance of crime-free living and peace of mind. The British Police Ministry is hoping that the advertisements will determine young people to carry concealed guns.

The campaign’s main aim is to encourage young adults carrying guns.

“Improving the nation’s public safety is a key government priority and improving access times to victims rights resources will help to drive down the number of violent crime victims. Some violent crime victimhood rates like murder and armed robbery are on the increase amongst 18 to 24 year-olds and it is vital that we deliver strong messages about using concealed guns to prevent them. The aim of this campaign is to make carrying and using a gun among this age group as familiar as carrying a mobile phone, lipstick or putting on a seat-belt. This is not about encouraging illicit and irresponsible firearms ownership, but saying to those who are already members of society: being about in certain areas at certain hours without a gun is seriously risky, so always have one,” stated Jane Doe, the British Police minister.

It was outlined that stating whether one hasn’t been a victim of violent crime as dereliction of one’s responsibility to protest one’s self is totally wrong and irresponsible, so carrying and using a gun is essential.

“The message of this campaign is that you can’t assume whether someone has been a violent crime victim. Some victims often have had no previous danger signs, and others cannot be deterred simply by police or criminal justice action and presence alone, so taking responsibility for your own personal safety should always be your key priority,” stated Jane Doe.

All of a Sudden, They Feel Like Mere Weeds

I’m getting the premonition that roses are on their way out as a symbol of affection. I think their day has passed because certain people affiliated with roses have decided to make really obnoxious company in recent days.

Make room for carnations.

Holiday Shopping

Mayor Slay has some suggestions where in the city to buy, get or see the items in the song Twelve Days of Christmas.

I’m wondering where in the city one could ste…or, obtain the items in the song Seven Days of Kwanzaa.

Big Fish Stories

KTVI-Fox-2 tonight:  The FBI in St. Louis arrested a man at a meeting of ex-Marines for falsely claiming that he was a Marine and had won several medals, and he even took the ruse so far that he even wore the medals he claimed he had won, but never did.  According to the FBI, he was never even a Marine.

He now faces Federal misdemeanor charges.  A bill currently stuck in Congress would bump such big fish fibbing up to a Federal felony.

If you’re a certain someone reading this blog, and I know who you are, and you know who you are, and you have been running around right-wing circles in this town claiming that you were a Sergeant Major in the Army, that you were in the Air Force, and every other lie about your service that you know you told, I would be sweating in my boots if I were you — the FBI or the Police (and I know you fanatically fear the police) could be knocking down your door to take you off to the hoosegow.

Was Blind, Or Now I See

A Federal judge on the District level ruled today that the current system of American paper money is unfair against the blind and thus violates the Rehabilitation Act, which prohibits governmental discrimination against those with disabilities.  The judge also ordered the Treasury Department to find a solution to the illegal discrimination that he can approve of.  Such solutions might include putting braille-like hashes on different denominations, or making each different denomination a different size.

I think that in some instances, the current American paper money is unfair to the seeing.  I know many people who can’t tell the difference between one denomination and another just by quick intuitive glance (save the $1 which was not redesigned recently), and they often hand out the wrong denominations to those whom they owe money, or miscount their cash.

Note:  I will not be hyperlinking to any MSM story on this issue.  The reason is that they all mention the name of the Federal judge that issued the ruling.  Recently, this blogmeister enacted a personal policy of not giving out the names of judges in blog posts about court decisions, save the U.S. Supreme Court and the Missouri Supreme Court, whose members are too well known not to mention by name.  The reason I don’t want to do so is that I don’t want the judge(s) to become targets of violent assaults on the part of those who might disagree with the judge(s) ruling(s).

It’s Coming Here

Reuters:

Stoned, beaten and insulted, their vehicles torched by crowds of hostile youths, French police say they face an urban guerrilla war when they enter the run-down neighborhoods that ring the major cities.

(snip)

Some residents complain the move spawned constant police harassment which has only exacerbated tensions with local youths, many of whom come from ethnic minorities.

“You can see discrimination in ID controls,” complained Kader Latreche, 36, an Algerian with his own photo equipment repair shop in the La Courneuve suburb.

(snip)

Sarkozy, favorite to represent the mainstream right in next year’s elections, says police are paid to detect crime, not play the social worker.

(snip)

Sarkozy is a hate figure for many suburban youths and his strong language about delinquents is blamed by many for fomenting last year’s suburban riots in which some 8,000 vehicles were torched along with schools, creches and other public buildings.

Reread the title.  I’m predicting this and then some for the USA.
Nicolas Sarkozy seems to be co-opting LePen for next year’s elections.

The Giant Sucking Sound Went The Other Way

Remember when Ross Perot used the famous phrase “Giant Sucking Sound” in regards to American jobs and NAFTA?  He was right.

He was also right in another sense of the “Giant Sucking Sound” and NAFTA, which makes what a certain prominent national talk radio host with roots in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, said about NAFTA in 1993 totally wrong.

Behold:

Think immigration from Mexico is a crisis? You might want to blame the lawmakers who voted for NAFTA.

Mexican immigration was flat or on the decline in the years leading up to the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement, a speaker at a Janesville school said Monday.

But immigration skyrocketed in the late 1990s after NAFTA’s “free-trade” rules pushed hundreds of thousands of Mexicans into poverty, said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizens Global Trade Watch.

The part of his brain not tied behind his back said that NAFTA would cure illegal immigration.  Maybe he ought to untie the half that is tied up.

There’s Corruption Alright

Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), incoming Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was doing early Presidential stumping in Columbia, S.C., and announced that Mexican corruption was the root cause of the American illegal immigration problem.

I agree.  However, it would be more worthy and even more accurate to point out that American corruption is a root cause of the American illegal immigration problem.

Edwardsville’s Diversity Isn’t Their Strength

A dozen students at Edwardsville High School, all young ladies except for one, have been expelled for the rest of the school year for carrying out a fight at the school several weeks ago that was planned since October on one of the student’s MySpace.com accounts.

MSM informs us that the school’s administration knew about the planned melee weeks in advance, and tried intervention and mediation programs to stop the fight, but apparently it didn’t work.  There goes another set of “progressive” cliches.

The school knew that the fight would happen, yet they did nothing substantially to stop it, except their horkey dorkey “conflict mediation.”  They had too much confidence in such things to where they evidently didn’t feel the need to use physical force to prevent what they knew was coming.

As it also turns out, race was a factor.  Between the three local newscasts tonight, I was able to determine that at least three of the eleven young ladies suspended were of color.

Blood On Their Open Borders Hands

If you’re an advocate of open borders, or amnesty, or soft amnesty (“Guest Worker Program,” a.k.a. “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”), you have the blood of twelve Americans per day on your hands.

Let’s Strip Them Of One Excuse

Mayor Slay:

It would be controversial to give up local control of the St. Louis Public Schools, but it would be plain wrong to allow the district to continue to betray the futures of thousands of students. It’s past time for a state takeover. Why not just say that?

For Machiavellian reasons, I wish something should happen with the SLPS that forces their board, and/or management, and/or superintendent, to remain stable for several decades.  If it takes a state takeover, fine, but it would be just as good if the voters of the city elect the exact same board members for two decades, and Dr. Bourisaw remains superintendent for that long.

As long as there is instability in the area of management, it will only give the crazy egalitarian left the opportunity to blame low academic achievement on the management instability, as Mayor Slay is trying to do above.  I would rather denude the crazy egalitarian left of any false hope that their cultish ideas just might be true, and force them sooner rather than later to accept the truths of genetic racial differences in intelligence.

That’ll Be Another Fifty

Because the Motion Picture Association of America, (in addition to the RIAA, Microsoft and Microsoft surrogates) has pretty much bought and paid for a good majority of the American government, you should probably buy your big-screen TV now, because when they get their way, there will be an extra $50 tax on big-screen TVs, based on the assumption that people who use them to assemble home theater systems will necessarily engage in some sort of copyright violation or infringement in the use of their home theater.

This sounds a lot like the Amendment 3 malarkey from this past campaign season: The rationale was that adult smokers had to pay 80 cents more per pack because some minors were illegally purchasing, possessing and smoking cigarettes.

Cleanest Congress Ever

Not getting off to a good start on that promise, Nancy With A Laughing Face.

Your first two public endorsements for leadership positions were Jack Murtha for Majority Leader, who is currently the subject of corruption investigations, and Alcee Hastings for Head of the House Intelligence Committee, and he is one of the rare examples of a Federal judge that gets impeached.

Run Away From Me Barack, Run Away From Me

More undeserved Barack Obama butt-kissing MSM media hype and propaganda alert:  Durbin is joining the feeding frenzy.  Again.

I think Durbin has an ulterior and selfish motive for saying that Obama should run for President.  I think Durbin is sick and tired of Obama sucking all the oxygen away from himself that he would rather see Obama in the White House, and therefore the Chicago media would pay Durbin the attention they used to pay him back in the bad ole days when the other Senator was one of those evil R-people named Fitzgerald.

While we’re on the subject of Mr. Obama, let me demonstrate to you how affirmative action happy the Democrats are.  In 2004, Obama was the keynote speaker at their Convention in July in Boston.  However, he didn’t win election to the U.S. Senate until November of that year, though the primaries were in March, so he was the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate.  But at the time he gave the keynote, he was only a sitting Illinois State Senator.

Bankruptcy Ahead

The Lizz Brownies on the St. Louis City Public School Board want to revoke the Sodehxo contract for maintenance and custodial services and return to in-house (i.e. and also unionized) employees for such matters. The move away from in-house to Sodexho was one of the Roberti reforms that caused so much controversy among the Lizz Brownies, and if the move is undone, it will assure the financial insolvency of the City Schools within the next several years.

Hot financial tip of the day: Don’t buy St. Louis City Public Schools revenue bonds.

Drive Carefully In Washington County

Because if you get into a bad accident, and you’re hurting so badly that you need morphine or other narcotic pain killers right away, the Washington County (Mo.) Ambulance District won’t be allowed to give you any.  The State has yanked their ability to dispense narcotics.

This is not the first troubles that the Washington County Ambulance District have had with drugs this year.  In February, one of their drivers was charged with dealing marijuana while on the job.

Where’s The Federal Judiciary When You Need Them

A three-judge panel representing the 7th Appeals Circuit of the Federal Judiciary struck down the Illinois law prohibiting the sale of sexually explicit video games to minors.

I wish the Federal judiciary would strike down some of Illinois’ onerous and bizarre gun laws, starting with the FOID requirement, which has prior restraint problems.  Really, the Federal Judiciary doesn’t do much if any striking down of any of the legislative abrogations of the 2nd Amendment.

Since I have been cognizant enough to understand such things, I have been perplexed about the divergent standards that the Judiciary has on the issues of guns, sex, aborticide and video games, when it comes to minors.  On the latter three, one gets the feeling that the Federal Judiciary thinks that minors have a fundamental right to do whatever they want, but on the former one, they’re all to eager to yield to the legislators and to the arbitrary whims of all levels of law enforcement.

Observations From Readers

Dear Webmaster:

Regarding Michael Vick and his giving the middle finger to his own Atlanta fans, if I were one of them that saw him giving the finger, I would have yelled back at him, “What is that, your age, your IQ, or your QB rating?”

Toppling the Devil-Toppler

Hugo Chavez vows to defeat the “devil” (i.e. the United States of America). It seems like all the third world thugs these days are letting their mouths write checks that their you-know-whats can’t cash.

However, toppling Chavez won’t be any trouble at all. Just three words:

Hydrogen Fuel Cells.

He Won’t Be Fired

If you flipped your boss off, then you would probably do well to plan on a permanent and unpaid vacation from your job.

Not this jerk. They call him Michael Vick, but it would be more accurate to change one letter of his last name. He’s going to get a pass from The Powers That Be, and the reason should be obvious. If you’re someone in Atlanta who just took out a second mortage on your house just to be able to go to a Falcons game just to see Mr. Vick flip off the people that help pay his salary, I feel for you.

Of course, he is also getting a free pass in terms of his job performance. If he were white, he’d be down to third on the depth chart.

Look on the bright side, though. It could be a lot worse: He could be his own younger brother, whose troubles go far beyond the fact that he too once flipped off his own team’s fans.

When You Sing About Dogs

You’ll be heeded by fleas.

Hmmm, glorifying illicit drug use and dealing, and the killings surrounding those who make that kind of music…sounds vaguely familiar.

December 8 Might Be Our Day

Yoko Ono, in a letter to the New York Times that she signed “Yoko Ono Lennon,” i.e. she succumbed to the repressive patriarchal and patrilineal system, suggested that the world observe every December 8, the anniversary of her husband’s being murdered, as a day to commemorate the innocent victims of violence.

I could start with the many white victims of black crime, then transition to the many white victims of Hispanic crime, and then it’s off to the races from there.

Which Is It, Joe?

Here we go again with more Joe Mokwa doublespeak.

Last night, in the aftermath of a juvenile crime spree that resulted in a chase, and ended with shots fired both ways at Jefferson and Lafayette, Chief Mokwa told KTVI-Fox-2 that crime was down, and crime was up.

Actually, what he said was that overall crime is lower than what it used to be, “gun crimes” are way up (Politically angling for more gun control legislation, are ya, Joe?), and the ferociousness and severity of certain crimes is way up, especially when it comes (in his own words) to young men in the city and their relationship with his officers.

What he meant by that, translated from PCspeak to English, was that black thugs are getting more and more brazen about shooting police officers, and their fear of the police is declining.  It will only get a lot worse before it gets better.  I have thought for years that, in the absence of some real solutions to our racial problem, we’re going to get to a point in St. Louis and other heavily black cities where Islamic-themed and secret society-like black gangs engage in organized sniping against white police officers.

Jefferson and Lafayette is very near the Lafayette Park neighborhood, which is one of those centers of yuppie gentrification in the city.  However, the two grocery stores that used to exist at that corner, caddy-corner from each other, are now closed.  Tell me more about urban revitalization, Mr. Slay.

All Other Things Are Not Equal

Toronto Sun via Hogtown Front:

Officials in the federal justice and public safety departments misled the government by suggesting there’s no evidence linking longer prison sentences with cuts in violent crime, an Ottawa academic will tell MPs at a parliamentary committee tomorrow.

The trouble is that one could only take such a study credibility when, as the Romans would have said, ceteris paribus, that is, all other factors are equal.  Or in the case of causation research, controlled factors.

The reason that the “sample” of the whole of Canadian society does not meet ceteris paribus is that with each passing year, and thanks to liberal immigration policies, Canada becomes regressively more non-white.  Therefore, making the assumption that increased prison terms does deter crime, the crime rate will still increase due to non-white immigration.

A similar flawed study on this side of the border several years back demonstrated that capital punishment was not a deterrent to first-degree murder.  The study compared murder rates in states with and without the death penalty.  The first big error is that just because a state has the death penalty doesn’t mean they use it that often, if at all.  But the other big flaw was that states that don’t have and/or don’t use the death penalty tend to have lower percentages of racial minorities, and therefore would have a lower murder rate anyway.  A good study would have compared states with similar racial compositions that have varying degrees of the use of the death penalty.

In the New America, 10 Will Get You 15

AP/MyWay has this article about children becoming and acting beyond their age.  The writer blames pop culture, and part of that is right.  However, the article hints to this phenomenon extending even to physical maturity.

Part of the reason for that is that, with each passing decade, the typical person in the western world (of all races) consumes diets that have better nutrition.  Science has proven that as the nutrition of children gets better, the average onset of puberty in terms of age decreases.

The other, more taboo reason, is racial.  The decreasing average age of the onset of puberty of “American” children is indicative of the universe of “American” young people becoming more and more non-white.  In fact, if we haven’t reached that point, a majority of newborns in America are non-white.  Science has also proven that puberty onset happens sooner in non-whites (especially blacks) than whites.

A story similar in nature to this was in the news earlier this year.
