Hooray for the St. Louis City InJustice System

The Post-Dispatch did something out of character today, and that is write about a black-on-white crime.  It was of a VA Med Center Oncology Nurse murdered in her home on Hickory Street on the near South Side; it all happened early Monday morning.  The suspects also shot an off-duty police woman and her boyfriend.  The angle of the P-D article is that four different generations were in the house when the four black thugs invaded.  However, these paragraphs caught my eye about the alleged ringleader:

The older suspect — Mario Coleman, 22, of the 5300 block of Cabanne Avenue — was charged Monday night with 12 felonies, including the murder of Stallis. He’s being held in jail on a $1 million, cash-only bail. The 16-year-old boy is in juvenile custody. Police won’t release his name unless he is charged as an adult.

Court records indicate that Coleman pleaded guilty to felony burglary and felony theft in 2007, but got a suspended imposition of sentence and placed on probation for three years. In 2008, court records indicate, Coleman pleaded guilty to a felony unlawful use of a weapon charge and, again, got a suspended execution of sentence and was placed on supervised probation.

An SIS for felony burglary and theft, and then an SIS for an U/U/W.  Did the U/U/W happen after the first SIS was imposed, or did the U/U/W happen at the same time or before the burglary and theft?  Because if he pulled the U/U/W while on SIS/probation for the burg/theft, then the SIS should have been revoked and he should have been sent to state prison to start doing time that had been suspended for the burg/theft, and then later the U/U/W would have been disposed, either in a longer prison stint, or time concurrent with his burg/theft time, or extra probation, or an SIS starting with his release from the burg/theft.

Even a justice system as lenient and pro-black as St. Louis City would not punish an SIS violation with another SIS.  This is why I think the U/U/W and the Burg/Theft happened at the same time.  Then again, I could be wrong, and St. Louis City could be that crazy.

So much for “supervised probation.”

UPDATE 10/7: I did some “research” over at St. Louis City Cop Talk, and evidently, the St. Louis City Circuit IS that crazy.  What’ s worse, I am told, is that an SIS for a felony doesn’t even show up as a felony on your rap sheet, even if the SIS punishes another SIS violation.  And this is the case for an SIS that is currently extant, i.e. you’re still serving time that was previously suspended.  I would have assumed that the crime that you committed to get an SIS would stay on your sheet forever, unless you got an “expiration date” SIS; what that means is that if you behave during the SIS period and perhaps some “probation” time afterward, the original crime will be wiped off your sheet, the courts tend to do this for younger people as a sort of “free pass” card for not fully developed and sophomoric brains.  Therefore, you can get one SIS, violate it, get punished with another SIS, violate them both, punished with another SIS, so on and so on, and still not have a felony sheet such that it it’s a gun or anything else disqualifier.  And, according to my source, Jennifer “The Truth Squader” Joyce knows about it and signs off on it.  So it’s not just the judges, it’s Joyce.  Why does that not surprise me?

This is evidently a deficiency at the MO state level.  It can be solved by changes in state law that states that violating an SIS stains your rap sheet for whatever violation, misdem or felony, the SIS was originally about, and that an SIS cannot be punished with another SIS.

UPDATE 10/8: I also found out on STL Cop Talk that there is one judge of the St. Louis City Circuit that is almost singlehandedly responsible for one Mr. Mario Coleman getting slap on the hand after slap on the hand.  I won’t say the name, but I do think about this in light of an ongoing effort to dump the Missouri Plan Nine from Outer Space.  On the margins, the Plan Nine marginally accrues to the benefit of lenient judges in St. Louis and Kansas City, because the only possible opposition to, e.g. the judge who couldn’t be bothered to enhoosegow Mr. Coleman in spite of numerous offenses is the world “no.”  I mean, who the hell is “no” and why would s/he  be a better judge than the one in question that I won’t name?  At least with another human being on the other side of the ballot, you have a known quantity vs another known quantity.  And in the very rare circumstance that a judge is bounced out in accordance with Plan Nine, the Governor gets to appoint a replacement.  Knowing the Governor Missouri has now, and which racial minority he’s been trying to suck up to since the late 1990s after he dared use his power as AG to dismantle forced busing, Jaybird Nixon would appoint another lenient lib to replace the lenient lib in question.  The human opponent to this particular judge would at least talk conservative to get elected.

Tom Barrett’s Catch-22

Tom Barrett, the Mayor of Milwaukee, and perhaps candidate for Governor in 2010, is waging a holy jihad against guns.

Among the things he is proposing is a 1,000-foot sex offender-like barrier around firearms dealers and expositions for those who have been convicted of a felony.  You know how that goes, stop in the name of the law, or I’ll yell stop again!

His other big crusade is the straw purchase tempest in a tea pot.  There, he might be stepping all over toes attached to important feet that will need to pound the pavement for him in any statewide race.

WTMJ-NBC-4 Milwaukee:

Barrett “Going To Raise The Stakes” on Guns

(snip)

The Mayor, Police Chief Edward Flynn and District Attorney John Chisholm aren’t mincing words about a gun store that is responsible for selling a third of the guns that are used in violent crime in Milwaukee.

During a news conference Wednesday afternoon, Police Chief Edward Flynn accused Badger Guns of having a business plan that depends on selling to criminals.

Just last week, the store’s owner accused Milwaukee Police of racially profiling his customers.

The store’s owner put up a sign that read, “Racist Milwaukee Police Dep. is pulling over African Americans leaving this store sorry for the inconvenience.”

Milwaukee’s Mayor responded to the sign Wednesday.

“I’m calling on that gun store owner to put up a sign to thank the men and women of the Milwaukee Police Department, that’s what this community should be demanding right off the bat from this store owner.  Don’t stick your fingers in their eye for trying to make this a safer city,” the Mayor said.

Not only does this put Barrett in a racial Catch-22, it also does the same for people like me.  I’m not a lawyer, but the lawyer in me thinks that whatever straw purchasing that’s going on (and I don’t happen to think it’s that much) might as well not be talked about, because it’s virtually impossible to prove in court.  Then again, I’m not a white liberal Democrat pandering politician thinking about greener grass.  Barrett just might piss off enough black politicos in Milwaukee to end his chances of winning the Democrat nomination much less Governor.  From what I can see, Wisconsin’s Democrat Lieutenant Governor, Barbara Lawton, is the only major announced Democrat, and potential Republicans (no major ones have announced) are former Governor and Bush Administration HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson, and Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen.   JBVH would be my choice because of his immigration courage.  Thompson may not have ticked me off during his years at HHS, but his links to amnestyaire Bush are too strong, Miss Lawton would have a field day.  Plus Thompson is old news.

USCIS Greases the Skids For Amnesty

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service is getting ready to approve millions of visa requests for otherwise illegal aliens, in advance of a Congressional fight over soft amnesty for illegals.  The thought is that whatever “comprehensive immigration reform” is passed, that those holding valid and current visas will be able to get citizenship first and most quickly and easily.

I think it’s all moot.  Issuing them visas would be the functional equivalent of amnesty, even if CIR isn’t passed.  While they’re here, they can procreate, and their children will automatically be citizens.  And you know how it goes, you can’t deport the parents of a young citizen child, boo hoo hoo cry me a river, cue the violins.

As it is right now, most illegal aliens didn’t get here by swimming across a river or hopping a fence.  They get legal visas, cross legally, then overstay them.  Even if they’re caught for a crime other than their being here illegally, or for that alone, it is virtually impossible to deport them physically.  And if they’ve had children in the process, they’ve got an in.

As the toast burns in Alexander County, Illinois.

SEMO:

Alexander County pays off debt to Tri-County Jail, but budget problems persist

ULLIN, Ill. — Even as Alexander County’s financial troubles continue to mount, the sheriff’s department will be able to continue housing inmates in the Tri-County Detention Facility in Ullin, authorities said Monday.

The $86,000 in back payments the county owed to house prisoners in the jail has now been paid in full, excluding costs for the month of September, which haven’t been submitted yet, said Alexander County Treasurer Frances Lee.

Two lawsuits for non-payment that were levied against Alexander County over the summer had created a tenuous situation for the future of the contract with Tri-County, but the balance of the bill was paid off Monday.

Tri-County is a privately run hoosegow that serves Alexander, Pulaski and Union Counties, and the U.S. Marshals, Federal HLS and the Illinois State Police also house people at that facility.  So Alexander only needs to pay prorated costs for their jailbirds, though since Alexander contains heavily black Cairo, I could imagine that their share is by far the highest of the three counties that use it.  That said, they couldn’t even afford their share, much less a whole hoosegow for their own county alone.

Beyond the Beer and Pizza

American Majority:

Campus Majority Training in Pittsburg, KS October 8

American Majority Kansas will be hosting a Campus Majority training for students at Pittsburg State University on Thursday, October 8th.  The training, scheduled for 6:00pm-7:30pm, will equip students to be active and effective on campus (through student organizations and student government), in campaigns (by volunteering in campaigns or running for student senate), and through new media (using blogs, wikis, twitter and facebook).

The training is open to all students, FREE of charge, and pizza will be served.  Join us on October 8th in Room 102, Grubbs Hall, at Pittsburg State to learn how to shape YOUR campus legacy!

Of course there’s going to be a high turnout.  That is, until the pizza is gone.  Free beer and pizza is the only way to get young people from 17 to 24 to turn out for something.  But drop the other shoe and tell them that they have to do something, and the joint will empty out faster than releasing anthrax.

NAACP’s Skid-Greasing

CNS:

NAACP Spearheads Prison Vote Drive in Maine

The NAACP is registering voters at prisons in Maine, one of just two states that allow all inmates to vote while behind bars, in what is apparently the nation’s first such statewide drive.

The relatively few votes at stake – only a few hundred – mean the drive’s potential to affect outcomes this fall on such issues as gay marriage, marijuana laws and tax limits is low.

Wouldn’t you love to live in a state that only had a prison population of a few hundred?

Though prison inmates tend to skew to the Democratic side, the drive isn’t about furthering any political agenda, said Rachel Talbot Ross, president of the Portland chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

“It’s about establishing strong voter patterns and becoming a fully functioning person to re-enter society,” Ross said. “It’s part of the rehabilitation and re-entry process.”

The NAACP is wrapping up its effort in Maine prisons this week. After next June’s primary election, the organization plans to lead another drive at all 15 county jails, as well as state prisons.

Yes, Virginia.  (Errr, that should be Maine.)  It is about politics, and about Democrat Party voters.  What other incentive would the NAACP have?  When was the last time you heard about an NAACP voter registration drive held at suburban white fundagelical churches?

What I think is going on is that the NAACP has wanted felons (enhoosegowed, on probation or off probation) to have the vote for a long time.  But they know it’ll go over like a lead balloon if they push it all at once, especially in black heavy or black significant states.  So they’re doing a trial run in a state that:  (1)  Has a very low prison population to begin with, and (2)  Is almost entirely lily-white in racial demographics such that blacks are a minority of its prison population, ergo whites are the majority.  (I’m guessing off the top of my head that a state that is 90% white and 10% black would have a prison population that is 50/50.)  The skids are better greased if the NAACP is able to sell the unwashed masses of white people that felons in prison should have the vote nationwide if the “trial run” among mostly white imprisoned felons in Maine seems to have no political consequence.  Maine is a fairly blue state, after all, and a few hundred extra Democrats won’t flip ME from blue to red in 2012.  That might be enough to fool enough people in enough swing states with big enough prison populations to let imprisoned (and all other) felons vote, and their votes would flip the states from red to blue.  This could easily happen in OH, FL, MO and a few others.

It’s not focusing just on black inmates.

Volunteers already have registered an estimated 200 or more inmates at five of the state’s seven adult correctional centers. The Maine State Prison’s NAACP chapter – the only one of its kind in New England – has 70 members, many of them white, including the branch president, Ross said.

Randal Horr, a 49-year-old white inmate at the Bolduc minimum-security prison in Warren, registered as a Democrat when volunteers arrived. Going through the voting process helps him feel connected to the outside world and will help when he is released, he said.

Do you think that imprisoned white felons might have an incentive to join the NAACP?  I’ll give you a hint, Sherlock:  If you weaken the police and prosecutors such that blacks don’t get caught in the dragnet as much, then the loose net also won’t catch as many whites.  That’s the calculus running through their heads.  Though the reality is that it doesn’t quite work that way:  Look at how much more harsh sentences are for given crimes under the same or similar extenuating circumstances in my part of Illinois versus Cook County, or in most of rural Missouri vs St. Louis City.  Same states, same state civil rights codes, same Federal civil rights codes.  If you commit an armed robbery in Harrisburg, Illinois, and you’re caught, you ARE going to prison, plea or no plea.  If you commit an armed robbery on the South Side of Chicago, and assuming you’re caught (and you’re less likely to be caught in Chicago than in Harrisburg), and you plead out, there is a good chance you’ll be bounced out on probation.  In Missouri, the local “alternative” publication founded and edited by that certain Donnybrook panelist sometimes prints horror stories about state prison sentences handed out to those who are first crime first time weed possession.  Almost entirely do these cases come from rural southern Missouri with white defendants.  There’s no way in hell that you’re going to state prison for weed possession (i.e. non-dealing) of any frequency in St. Louis City, especially if you’re black.  I get the feeling that these white prisoners in Maine are grabbing at straws.

Only in Maine and Vermont are felons in state prisons allowed to cast ballots while serving their sentences. Those prisoners, however, still have to register to vote, something easier done on the outside.

I remember a 60 Minutes piece several years ago about a murder case in Vermont where the suspect was convicted and sent to Vermont’s only prison.  They showed the prison, and there were very few in number (I think there were not even 100 at the time), and from the footage they showed, there was only one black.  Security as at a minimum, because it didn’t need to be any higher.  Inmate violence against other inmates and guards was very low and tame.  (In my attempt to find the exact number of Vermont prison inmates, I came across stories complaining that Vermont’s black prison population doubled.  Meaning they got their second black.)  I imagine that the NAACP is going to try this in Vermont next, and Vermont, being Greenwich Village North, a state where hypocrite white liberals have moved to escape the consequences of their actions, is so blue that it’s indistinguishable from black.  They’ll eat up anything the NAACP does in the state like organic lettuce going out of style.

An Ironic Observation

SCC blows out of the water Jesse Jackson’s attempt to equate what he thinks should be using the National Guard to stop Chicago violence and the use of the NG in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957 to integrate forcefully a high school (one that spent less money per student per year than the black schools whose former students were forcefully enrolled in Central).  Of course, the main inconsistency is that Jesse Jackson and people like him have spent a lifetime deballing the Chicago Police Department (and other big city departments).  Why would he want the NG in to do the job that the CPD could do but isn’t allowed to do?

(As an aside, the NG wouldn’t do any better.  The reason is that they’d have the same civil rights handcuffs that the CPD has.  The NG that would go onto the South Side is most closely controlled by two people:  Pat Quinn and Barack Obama.  If the NG dares lay a hand on a protected minority, Obama, Quinn and the panoply of cracker jack box theology degree black “reverends” on the South Side will bitch the same fit that they do when the CPD takes similar action.)  This is why I think Jackson’s NG talk is just talk, or rather, a publicity stunt, just like when black women with St. Louis social service agencies make boneheaded calls for “gang war truces.”)

The irony of Jackson’s attempt to equate Chi 2009 with LR 1957 is that the reason why Chi 2009 has so much crime is because the very same civil rights movement that led to Federally forced school integration in LR and many other places is the same civil rights movement that restrains law enforcement from taking care of business re black thugs in Chi and many other places.  Chicago’s black population is arrogant and mean, even more so than in other northern cities, and way more so than southern blacks, because Official Chicago has pandered to blacks for almost a whole century.  Even before the civil rights movement, there was something about Chicago that attracted blacks like an iron filing to a magnet.  Perhaps it was welfare, or more permissive racial attitudes, though segregationist, not as clear-cut as Mississippi.  Whatever it was, blacks out of Mississippi and other southern states poured into Chicago between the World Wars.  Decades on top of decades of being pandered to and groveled to on the city level, and then on the state level (Land of Lincoln, don’t ya know), and now on top of that five decades on the Federal level, have meant that blacks are in their element in Chicago.  And when I mean “in their element,” I mean rude, arrogant, crime-prone, and the whole nine yards.

Blacks in the South, even to this day, are far less arrogant, because they’re not that long in time removed a whack in the skull with a white police baton, or a meeting with a rope and a tree, or a trip to the river, for stepping out of line.  As the decades advance, southern blacks, like their ChiCONGOgrad cousins, will gradually lose their fear, and become just as bad as their ChiCONGOgrad cousins.

Here’s another SCC paragraph that caught my eye:

And Jesse is forgetting that the National Guard isn’t really appropriate in this case. These are, for a large part, combat troops, veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. They aren’t really suited, and have never been suited, for police work. Their Rules of Engagement are different than the laws the police operate under. We’d imagine the “reverends” and street corner lawyers would have a field day interpreting alleged violations of civil rights.

I hate to tell him this, but the NG’s ROE are just as restrictive as the CPD’s, whether the NG is in Fallujah, or Fallujah-on-Lake Michigan.  And they wonder why we’re not winning that war.

Back to Reverend Jackson, he has a Sunday morning radio talk show that’s on KMJM, 104.9, in St. Louis.  (“Tony” from St. Louis that called in is a long time ago WGNU regular who used the handle “Motorcycle Man.”)  I heard most of it before trekking back to Carbondale this past Sunday, and Jackson was saying on the radio what SCC notes he said in the presser about wanting the NG in Chi.  But he and his guests were all over the map, especially on the gun issue.  What they don’t seem to grasp is that the wooden boards were the weapons used to kill Derion Albert, not guns.  (Hint:  Not for much longer, but nobody can own handguns in Chicago.  Look at how well their “gun control” is working at least in the context of their shitty city.)

The Other SPLC

Boonville (Mo.) High School mucks stop the presses on student-run dead tree and ink.  Boonville’s mainstream paper mentions the Student Press Law Center and its reaction.  Which reminds me, the Student Press Law Center registered the URL www.splc.org before that other SPLC could get to it, meaning that the other, less freedom-oriented SPLC had to spell out the “C” in its own URL.  This might create some confusion, because someone I know tried to call up the SPLC (the other one), typed in www.splc.org into Netscape’s (that shows you how long ago this happened) address bar, and got the freedom-oriented SPLC.  As of this time, the freedom-oriented SPLC doesn’t give you a courtesy “oops sorry” link to the other SPLC, which I think isn’t an accident.  In 1996, the owners of the URL www.buchanan.com, which was a family photo page unrelated to Pat Buchanan, gave you a courtesy link to www.buchanan.org, PJB’s 1996 Presidential campaign website (and now his writings and blog URL).  They got too many visitors who wanted to see PJB and not cute playtime photos of children named Buchanan.

In related news, a Pittsburgh area junior college has discovered that prior restraint on the 1st Amendment is a no-no, even when the 1st is used to defend the 2nd.  Now, we can continue with the prior restraint doctrine to nullify firearm purchase waiting periods longer than necessary to run background checks.

PPM Pwns KMOX?

Mike Anderson thinks that the next Arbitron book, the first using Personal People Meter data, will mean that KMOX falls from their very long time first spot at the top of the St. Louis market.

To be honest, I think (1) Anderson is right, and (2) It happened a long time ago.  I personally know someone who was once an Arb, during the paper and pencil logbook days.  When it came time to mail the logs back to Arb, he called someone else that I know to ask him what was on KMOX so he could fill that in.  In other words, he didn’t know what he listened to, but mentally defaulted to KMOX because he heard of it.  Methinks KMOX’s top spot in the market has been entirely wind and piss for quite some time.  Any real ratings it does/did have is entirely Rush, and until 2006, Cardinals.

UPDATE 10/8: Anderson was right.  KMOX’s long run at #1 is over.  Not only is it over, it’s way way over.  WARH, 106.5 FM “The Arch,” (“70s, 80s, and whatever we want”) is #1 with an 8.8, and the Slighty MOX is #2 with a 7.1.  That KMOX is 1.7 shares behind the leader takes me aback, and is probably convincing proof about KMOX’s lead being “wind and piss” all along is true.  KMOX is well on its way to becoming just another news/talk station.

Not a Lateral Move

At some point last year, I had a running debate with someone I know about which political office was most prestigious and sought after:  A U.S. House seat, or a Governorship.  My argument was that the political class thinks that Gov > House, because U.S. House members often try to become their state’s Governor, but I had never heard of a Governor running for a House seat.  (Many Governors do make a run for Senate).  His argument was that in his view, a House member that is in leadership somehow, i.e. Speaker, Majority or Minority Leader or Whip, or certain Committee Chairs, are more prestigious than a state Governor, because of the presumed Federal supremacy in public affairs, and with the House in general and the Appropriations Committee in particular having the ultimate pull of the Federal purse strings, a powerful House member can yield more power than every Governor combined.

The one reason why Governorships are so esteemed is that the duties of a legislator, House or Senate, state or Federal, can be a thankless grind.  Meeting after meeting, committee after committee, subcommittee over subcommittee, constituent meetings, town halls, schedule booked to the millisecond.  In contrast, a state Governor, being a chief executive, can make his or her own hours, and do what he or she wants, and has the attention, good or bad, of an entire state.  When Jon Corzine made a lateral move from Senate to Governor, I think that was the start of a trend.  Dianne Feinstein hasn’t made it for sure yet, but if she announces for Governor, I think he’s got it in the bag.

For the first time, I have heard gossip about a Governor moving to a House Seat.  The buzz is that New York State Democrat officials want Charlie Rangel to resign in earnest of his tax scandals, slide Governor David Paterson into that seat, in order to give Andrew Cuomo the D-nomination for Governor next year, so as to give Democrats a fighting chance to keep the Governor’s chair in NYS.  Last I saw, Rudy Giuliani, Rick Lazio and George Pataki all outpoll Paterson by big margins, RG and GP have slimmer leads over a hypothetical matchup with Cuomo, while Cuomo has a lead over Lazio.

Five Year Plan

As I was flipping around the dial back in St. Louis this weekend, I discovered that KSLG 1380, a sports talk station, is a co-sponsor of something called the St. Louis Youth Sports awards.  The online advertisement doesn’t say this, but the radio spots say that young people ages 5 to 17 are eligible.

The rest?

Do you know a great student athlete deserving of a scholarship? U.S. Bank, TEAM 1380, St. Charles Community College and Total Hockey developed the U.S. Bank St. Louis Youth Sports Award to recognize and reward students in the St. Louis, Missouri area who demonstrate exceptional academic and athletic dedication and team support as well as school and community leadership.

Nominations may be made by sending a cover letter and one-page bullet point list of achievements, along with 3 references to usbankyouthawards@team1380.net. One scholarship recipient will be chosen from a panel of judges per month (October-April) and highlighted on the air in :60 promotional announcements. All of the finalists will then be invited to a banquet in April/May where 1 finalist will be awarded a $1,000 college scholarship.

Finalists should excel in the following areas:
- Academic
- Sports
- Community Service

How in the HELL can a FIVE-YEAR OLD excel in academics, sports AND community service?  Then again, I know literally dozens of five-year old kids who are MVPs of their t-ball leagues, straight-A kindergarten students and organized record-breaking Christmas food drives for local social service agencies.

Sunday Wrap-Up

(1)  Who gives a fuck about anything that Steve Shit has to say?  His guy lost to a (censored racial pejorative).

(2)  Many big city police chiefs want to start a “neighborhood watch” to guard against terrorist attacks.  Among the things that citizen volunteers will be taught is to look for and report suspicious behavior.

Good as far as it goes, but I have two words for you:

Flying Imams.

I hope the “neighborhood watch” comes with a can of CAIR-Be-Gone.

(3)  Anarcho-Tyranny On Parade:  Laws passed to prevent Muslim hate preachers from entering the UK are really being used against American Christian preachers.

(4)  Kill the messenger:  Arbitron’s PPM indicate that minority radio stations don’t have ratings as high as previously thought.  Obviously, the problem must be with the whole system of PPM.  Just as blacks and Hispanics possibly can’t commit violent crimes at a disproportionate rate.  Who are we to believe, my lying mouth, or your own eyes?

(5)  A certain talk radio hosts who brags on almost a daily basis about all the degrees he has earned somehow fell asleep during Economics 101, especially the day when Professor said that price floors are either futile or dangerous, such that he advocates a higher minimum wage.  Applying that lesson to the minimum wage, then it is either ineffective, if the wage is below wage equilibrium, or creates a surplus of labor, i.e. unemployment, if the wage is above equilibrium.  And gosh darn it, wouldn’t you know — recent increases in the minimum wage is one of the major factors behind megadepression unemployment figures among young Americans.  Though I should add that it’s not the only reason:  When you have millions of illegal aliens that are willing to work under the table for peanuts, then even a futile minimum wage prices young people out of the market.

(6)   UK Telegraph:

One of the reasons modern Britain is so uncivilised, it is often opined, is that decent citizens no longer dare to intervene when they see youths behaving badly. Where once an apple-scrumping urchin would have been cuffed around the ear by a passer-by and sent on his way, today he would have the cuffer banged up for assault quicker than you can say, “I know my rights.”

Translated from English to English, this means:  (1)  Childrens’ rights bureaucracies are out of control, and unrelated, (2) “Youths behaving badly” means black and other minorities, and Britian’s whites have been deballed thoroughly on race.

(7)  The FBI admits that Somalian jihadists might be able to go all Johnny Jihad on us because they might be able to pull strings in America’s Somali population.  Will anyone be able to put the obvious two and the other obvious two to make the obvious four, and deport America’s Somalians back to Somalia?

(8)  Bake sales used to be the preferred way for libdorks to raise money for public schools, based on the curious notion that the Yankee government procuring jets from Boeing means that public schools can’t buy new textbooks.  (Though buying new textbooks isn’t exactly an upgrade, if you’ve had the tragic occasion of reading newer textbooks lately.)  But not in New York City, not anymore.  You see, baked goods have some sugar, and for other kinds of busybody libdorks, sugar is the new tobacco.

(9)  A major official of the Obama national security team is going to take a leave of absence.  It’s going to be hard to tell when he’ll have left.

(10)  “Failed State,” once a moniker reserved for certain third world countries, is now being used in the British press to describe California.  Like the old timers say, if the song rhymes, sing it.

That’ll come as quite a shock to Ron Paul’s wife of more than fifty years.

Are they going to secede from the Union and become a UN colony now?  They can take ChiCONGOgrad with them.

PJB:  Obama Reaffirms He Will Keep Israel’s Nukes ‘Secret’

Make sure Jill Biden doesn’t have the arming codes.  She keeps nothing of the Obama administration a secret.

B. Hussein Obama. MASSIVE EPIC FAIL.

Look at where all that humility in foreign policy got him.  It got him told to fuck off on the first ballot.  Once I heard the news, I went out to the parking lot and started dancing around.  I greet the news of no Olympics in ChiCONGOgrad with about the same delight as I would of news of the extinction of mosquitoes, for much the same reason.

I’m looking for a hot party tonight.  Other than the fact that it’s Friday, the biggest reason to party is that ChiCONGOgrad and ole B. Hussein just got egg thrown in their faces by the very people they think they love and who we are told now like us.  And there won’t be a $30 billion cover charge to get into THAT club.

I wanted Tokyo or Rio to get it because I don’t want a white country saddled with all that debt.  As an aside, I think the United States of America has already hosted its last Summer Olympics, which is fine by me.

“Systematic Exclusion” — Translated Into English, That Means Black Man Did It Because No Blacks Were On the Jury to Nullify

CNS:

Court to Settle Dispute over All-White Jury

Washington (AP) – The Supreme Court will decide whether a man’s murder conviction should have been thrown out because there were too few African Americans in a county’s jury pool in Michigan.

State officials are asking the high court to overturn a decision by the 6th U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.

That court threw out the murder conviction of Diapolis Smith for shooting a man in Grand Rapids in 1991.

Smith, who is black, was found guilty by an all-white jury. He said his constitutional right to a jury that represents the community was violated because there were only three blacks in the pool of 60 to 100 prospective jurors.

In other words, white people are such dumbasses that they can’t be trusted to make fair and impartial decisions about the guilt or innocence of a black man.  Boy howdy, I tell you, us white people are really screwing up the country and the world.

All kidding aside, there is no constitutional right per se for a black defendant to have at least one black person on the jury that hears his or her case.  However, Federal civil rights laws disallow the prosecution from preemptorily challenging (i.e. dismissing a potential juror with no reason necessary) potential black jurors when the defendant is black.  This all but guarantees that black defendants will have at least one black on the jury, and that increases the chances of nullification.

That all three of the potential black jurors in his case were dismissed meant that they were dismissed for cause.  Assuming an honest three-judge selection in the 6th Appellate Circuit, this case is toast.

CHC Hearts Criminal Hispanic Illegal Aliens

Hispanic Caucus Calls for Ending Program That Identified 100,000 Illegal Aliens, Many With Criminal Records

(snip)

“These agreements are the subject of serious concern as local law enforcement agencies have used the new powers to target communities of color, including a disproportionate number of Latinos, for arrest,” says the letter.

Sure, because there are all these Swedish illegal aliens running around killing people in drunk driving accidents, and smuggling dope, and screwing underage girls.  Those are the ones to deport.

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is giving the Congressional Black Caucus a run for its money when it comes to kookiness.

Schlafly Gets Rickrolled

Falls for Mr. 39%’s election year conservative rhetoric, which will stop the minute after the Texas MSM declare him the winner.

(Just in case you’re wondering, I wouldn’t vote for KBH, either.)

Apologetics

Officials with the well known secular med school in St. Louis have apologized to officials of the well known Jesuit med school in St. Louis, as the former accused the latter of training doctors in the gentle art of aborticide.

It made no sense for the former to apologize, because nobody with at least a shoe size IQ believes that a Jesuit med school has a Professor of Aborticide on payroll.  It would be like asking someone to apologize for saying that aliens abducted him or her and transported them to Beta 5.

Drive Into Town

Boy Leads Police on High Speed Chase – :Riverton

Riverton police say an 11-year-old boy driving a suburban led Fremont County law enforcement on a high speed chase early yesterday morning.

At 3:20 A-M Riverton police were called in to assist Wind River P-D in the chase.  The boy entered Riverton from the North, then headed West on Hwy 26 to Dubois, maintaining speeds between 80 and 100 miles per hour.

Police cornered the boy near Crow Heart.  He then proceeded to drive toward a Riverton police car, scraping the metal.  Police say he stopped the vehicle by Bull Lake and attempted to flee on foot, but was caught.

Somebody was speeding on Wyoming.  How can you tell?  Perhaps they figured he was doing 100 from seeing all the cars passing him by.  Fleeing from the cops doing 80 in Wyoming is as slow as the O.J. Ford Bronco “flight” on the 405 in Los Angeles.  Though the thing with that is that doing 40 on the 405 in Los Angeles IS high speed, or rather, an indication of severe temperature drops in Hades.
