At Least Mommy and Daddy Didn’t Smoke

I have the ignoble task of defending Chicagograd, People’s Republic of Illinois Mayor Richard Daley.  If you’re a Daley fan, cherish it –  you’ll find toothed hens more often than I come out on his side.

WBBM-780-AM:

As an eight year old boy recovers from a driveby shooting in the Humboldt park neighborhood, Mayor Daley is defending Police Superintendent Jody Weis,  who blamed the boys parents, saying they had made their child vulnerable by engaging in gang activities.

(snip)

Police said the shooting appears to have been gang-related and they’re investigating whether Josue’s father was the intended target. At a news conference Tuesday afternoon, Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis said Josue’s parents share the blame for the shooting.

“I hate to say it, but the parents are to blame for that 8-year-old being shot. They choose to engage in this activity,” Weis said.

Daley defended those comments at a news conference today by saying that no parent should put their child in harms way.

“(The father is) engaging in gang activity and, more than likely, he’s probably breaking some laws. … As long as we have people who are willing to break the law and engage in criminal activities, these are some of the consequences that we face. We have an innocent boy whose dreams will be shattered, whose family’s dreams are shattered and it’s horrible and we’ve got to do something about it,” Weis said.

Some of the same people giving Daley and Weis flack are the same ones that want to pass laws saying that you’re endangering the health of your children if smoke tobacco cigarettes inside your own house.  (Daley probably wants these laws, too.)  So, if you apply these same standards to this case, then young Josue’s parents are far more culpable for being ‘bangers then seeing their son killed than if they were smokers and he developed lung cancer as an old man.

However, with the way the People’s Republic of Illinois is, the lesbian hags that constitute the DFS/CPS would have knocked back the Torres house far sooner if they would have found out that his parents smoked, rather than finding out that they were ‘bangers.  Since they were ‘bangers, there is a high probability that they smoked weed, but that wouldn’t bother Illinois’s liberals.

Gang Initiation

Santa Cruz (Calif.) Sentinel:

Two teens arrested in drive-by shooting of Soquel High basketball star

SOQUEL — Deputies arrested two teens early Saturday on suspicion they shot a 17-year-old Soquel High basketball star in a gang-motivated drive-by Friday afternoon.

The victim, Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League co-MVP Daniel Cross, is recovering from his injuries. Cross was shot twice in the right leg, flown to a San Jose-area hospital for treatment and sent home late Friday, according his mother, Rachel Cross.

“He’s doing well,” she said. “He’s in a lot of pain. He’s just got to heal.”

Cross was a standout basketball player at Soquel this season, helping the Knights to the co-championship in the SCCAL. Cross, a 6-foot-4 forward, led the team in scoring and was named co-MVP along with teammate Felipe Mendez.

It’s unclear if the teens arrested knew Cross. Detectives did not say if they’ve been students at Soquel High and the Cross family said they don’t know why the basketball player was targeted.

“It’s just a random thing,” Rachel Cross said. “We haven’t had any issues with this.”

(snip)

The suspected shooter, Abisai Natanel Elisondo, 18, was arrested at his Aptos home around 3 a.m. and detectives arrested the suspected driver, Luis Alfredo Ocegueda, 19, around 8 a.m. when they served a search warrant at his home in Capitola, according to Sgt. Mario Sulay.

(snip)

Detectives reported the drive-by followed a fight between two gangs in Soquel Village that occurred just after 3 p.m. Friday. Cross and two of his friends were allegedly involved in the clash, though detectives did not say what role they played in the fight. Deputies did not say Cross is a gang member.

Sorry, I’m not buying this.  The version I believe is that Mr. Cross is mostly an innocent bystander, and his involvement in the initial “fight” and in the later drive-by was because he was a human punching bag, a white man that gang recruits had to bang around as an initiation ritual.

The Patron Saint of Drug Dealers

Jesús Malverde might also be the patron saint of illegal border crossings.

A Malverde statue might be just as good of an indicator as a black Escalade with retro-spinning wheels.

Pentagon Takes My Advice

El Paso Times:

Soldiers can’t visit Juárez

Travel to Juárez has been declared off-limits for U.S. military personnel, Fort Bliss officials announced Saturday in the wake of a rash of drug-related violence that is now taking a toll on both sides of the border.

A Fort Bliss official said Saturday that an unacceptable risk to the health, safety, welfare and morale to military personnel prompted the decision to temporarily discontinue issuing passes to soldiers who want to travel to Juárez.

“This is only for a short term until things settle down and there’s no perceived danger to any soldier or anyone going to Juárez,” Fort Bliss spokeswoman Jean Offutt said. “I think it’s just based on the events that are going on in Juárez at this time.”

“No perceived danger?”  Then why is Juarez off-limits?

Actually, the Pentagon is right.  All Americans should make all of Mexico off-limits for the same reason.

Last I Looked, an Automobile Was Neither of These Things

The San Diego Channel:

San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie M. Dumanis, the Regional Auto Theft Task Force (RATT), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Friday announced an undercover operation resulting in the break up of an extensive and highly organized auto theft ring in the South Bay. The auto theft ring bust is the largest in San Diego County and possibly in the state of California.

Operation Southside Blitz was a year-long undercover operation based in Chula Vista. It culminated in the criminal complaint or indictment of 73 defendants and the recovery of 153 vehicles worth $1.7 million. Drugs and firearms were also confiscated.

This bust puts car thieves on notice in San Diego County that law enforcement is working vigorously to investigate, arrest and prosecute them, Dumanis said. Its an excellent example of how state, county and local agencies are teaming up to fight auto theft in our border region.

Curiously, Ms. Dumanis said “border,” in conjunction with bringing down a car theft ring.  We’re not given any names in this article, but “border” gives a lot of it away.

But that’s not the most curious thing here.  Why was the BATFE involved?  The last I looked, a car was neither beer, cigarettes, guns, or explosives.  Perhaps the theft ring crossed state lines, but that would mean the FBI, not ATF, should be involved.  And if it crossed an international border, then ICE should be involved, too.

Soccer Ball of Brains

L.A. Times Homicide Blog:

Gabriel Rodriguez, 17, a Latino youth, was shot at 1465 E. Witmer St. in the Westlake area of Los Angeles about 7:10 p.m. Sunday, July 8.

(snip)

Gabriel played soccer for the Belmont High School team, said Angel Martinez, 27, a friend from the neighborhood. His parents are from Mexico. He was admired on the block for his intelligence, Martinez said, because he had to maintain his grades to play soccer.

Perhaps Mr. Rodriguez was highly intelligent. But just inferring that he was based on the fact that he had to maintain a C-average in a majority non-white public high school in Los Angeles is simply not reasonable.

New to the Blogroll (”To Live and Die in L.A., Mostly Die”)

Los Angeles County Homicide Log. Jill Levoy of the L.A. Times blogs the homicide victims and apprehended murder suspects in the country’s most populous county. The rotting of America on parade, if you please.

And yes, race of both victims and perpetrators is given where known. I hope Miss Levoy has programmed her computer keyboard so that the word “black” and the word “Hispanic” can be typed with the touch of one key, as those two words seem to be used a lot.

What Happens On Day 61?

As if she actually has power over the black and Hispanic street gangs in her city, or as if she thinks she has power over them, Fresno, Calif. City Councilwoman Cynthia Sterling has issued a plea that the gangs call a 60-day truce.

Damn, woman. If you have that much power, or think you do, why only ask for 60 days? Why not just have them make a permanent truce? For you to say that the gangs should call a 60-day truce is to tell them that it’s okay with you that they resume banging each other 61 days from now.

Miss Sterling says that the purpose of the truce is that gang leaders can work together to stop the violence. If your wishes come to pass, then they won’t need to work together at all. You would just need to continue asking for extensions to your truce every few months. And that way, the violence would be stopped.

For real, what’s this need that some politicians feel to suck up to the leaders of violent street gangs? If they were ever so interested in peace and truces, they would have never become the leaders of violent street gangs to begin with. About the only kind of working relationship that official authorities should have with the leaders of drug gangs is kind that involves handcuffs, chains, shackles and iron bars.

To put it another way, and hypothetically, if St. Louis was the host of conflagrations of that white-sheet pointey-head group versus that bent-cross group over the partitioning of meth dealing territory, I hardly think that white city aldermen would want to call in the Grand Wizard and the Fuhrer to City Hall to negotiate a peaceful settlement. White city aldermen would be begging the city cops to squelch the violence by almost any means necessary.

UPDATE 6/25:  Another incorrect assumption that Miss Sterling and those like her make, when she uses words like “truce,” is that gang fighting in Fresno and elsewhere is akin to traditional warfare.  Verily, it’s just a way for drug gangs to enforce and expand their territory of distribution and sale of illicit and illegal drugs to consumers.  As such, some shooting is part of the job.  In that, the men within a street gang that do this “dirty work” are really nothing more than badge-less cops.  It’s an illegal job, and an illegal and immoral means to the end of carrying out the illegal job, but a job nonetheless.  One obvious reason why the gangs won’t pay her any attention or do what she asks is that she is requesting that they stop making a living.

No Magic Silver Bullet

Reuters:

CUERNAVACA, Mexico (Reuters) - The United States will stand by Latin American governments in their battle against powerful drug cartels, U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales vowed on Friday.

Speaking after a two-day meeting with attorneys general from Mexico, Colombia and the countries of Central America, Gonzales said Washington would work with them to combat the smuggling cartels whose fight for territory, particularly in Mexico, has led to a surge in killings.

(snip)

Mexico says the United States is partly to blame for the drug violence because most of the guns the traffickers use are smuggled into Mexico from its northern neighbor. Gonzales said his government was looking into ways to cut the flow of illegal arms.

He said much of the debate at the meeting centered on how to crack down on money laundering.

“People engage in drug transactions and gun transactions because there is money to be made,” he said. “If we could somehow disrupt the flow of funds, I think that will make us more successful.”

One other thing that the Mexican Government and other Latin American Governments, and Latin-American excuseologists on this side of the border, are correct about, is that the drug gangs in Latin America flourish partly because of the rich consumer market for illicit drugs in the USA.

But there is a simple solution, and it wouldn’t need the U.S. Attorney General scratching his head trying to come up with some magic silver bullet. And “disrupting the flow of funds” should not be the main concern. The best way to keep their gangsters and drugs on their side of the border, and to keep our money and guns on this side of the border, is to get that border wall done.

American Government vs Dispossession

President Bush announced today that the American government will enact sanctions against the Sudanese government, in order to punish them for their violent dispossession of black animists, Christians and other black non-Muslims by the Muslim government in the Darfur region of the country.

Some of this charity should begin at home. He should have announced that the American government will do what it can to stop the violent dispossession of American whites by black and Hispanic crime, as well as the double-standard white judicial, social and corporate system, in major cities and other large swaths of the country, and in regards to their economic prosperity and standard of living.

Monterrey, Mexico Is For Lovers (and Drug Gangs)

As long as the lovebirds are adequately armored.

Reuters:

MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters) - A motel in northern Mexico is putting steel doors on its rooms to protect guests from kidnappings and shootings in an escalating war between rival drug cartels.

Owners of the Rancho El Trueno, or Thunder Ranch, began fortifying the highway motel near Monterrey a year ago but have decided to shield all 35 rooms as drug killings have worsened in the area in recent months.

Complete with hot tubs, red imitation-leather beds, mirrored walls and striptease poles, the rooms are shuttered behind steel gates about 1.5 inches thick and some already have steel doors.

“We want people to have fun and be able to feel safe. Lovers come, big groups come, we are full on weekends,” said Emilio Massa, the motel manager.

You might be safe if you make it there, but getting there and getting back are risky propositions all by themselves.

American resorts, take heed. This is our future, thanks to Bush, McCain, Kennedy, Lindsay Graham, Chertoff, and the rest of the Amnestyaires.

Sounds Like an Unpaid Dope Debt

Harry’s “Pit Bull”

More from the Our Diversity Is Our Strength (ODIOUS) File.

AFP:

Prominent Latin songwriter and music producer Estefano was shot and wounded by one of his employees inside his mansion on the Miami waterfront, police said in a statement Sunday.

The 39-year-old songwriter, whose real name is Fabio Alonso Salgado, was shot in the chest and in the back of his head around 11:30 p.m. Saturday (0330 GMT Sunday) by an employee who was delivering marijuana, the police report read.

That’s right. Race has nothing to do with it. All you have to do is watch reruns of the NBC trio of south Florida sitcoms — “Golden Girls,” “Empty Nest,” and “Nurses,” that were new during the 1980s and 1990s, to see all the crime and violence and drug-related shootings that revolve around middle-aged and retired white people. That’s really why Harry Weston had Dreyfuss the dog, in order to protect him from the weed pushers to whom he was in financial arrears. (???)

Slinging Weed from an Ice Cream Truck: Another One of Those Jobs Americans Won’t Do

I knew ice cream was getting more expensive, but if you hear the ice cream bells ring, and junior hits you up for ten in earnest, realize that it hasn’t gotten that expensive.

AP:

MISSION, Texas (AP) — Police say the jingle of this ice cream truck meant pot-sickles. Police say elementary school students tipped them off to an ice cream truck driver who was apparently selling $5 and $10 bags of marijuana from the truck. Most customers were in the third, fourth, and fifth grades.

“It’s a scary thought, but that’s the info we received,” Mission police Chief Leo Longoria said.

Raymundo Flores, a 40-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico, was arrested Thursday on charges of possession of marijuana. He was transported to Hidalgo County jail after a judge set bond at $30,000. His case will likely be turned over to federal immigration officials, Assistant Police Chief Robert Dominguez said.

After this, Mission’s Police Chief might want to find out if his wife is cheating on him.

Other than that, Mission, Mexico, is just west of McAllen, in far southern part of the Mexican state of Tejas, just north of the Rio Grande sewage canal. Essentially, it’s already part of Mexico, as the blue-clad gringo men rumored to be part of something called “Border Patrol” just sit there and watch people that used to be called “illegal aliens” calmly stroll across the sewage canal, from one part of Mexico into another part of Mexico. In those towns, like Brownsville, Harlingen and McAllen, everyone of importance is Mexican, and just about everything is in Spanish. So why bother “deporting” him to Mexico when he’s already in Mexico?

It Wasn’t a Hard Prediction to Make

If I said it once, I must have said it a dozen times on this medium.

State and Federal efforts to crack down on “trailer park” meth labs wouldn’t eliminate the meth addicts, and that would only open the void to be filled by Hispanic meth gangs.

And now there has been an incident of Hispanic meth gang violence in the same nearly all-white Missouri hill county that was so notorious for trailer park meth labs that it used to be called “Metherson” County.

Now we also know through other sources that the meth supplied by the Hispanic gangs (”Ice”) is more potent and dangerous than homebrew.

This having been said, faced with the Hobson’s Choice, I would rather have not cracked down on the trailer park operations.

Two Stamps Worth Of Prevention

There’s another way you can help

KSDK-NBC-5:

Relatives of a young man killed in a drunk driving accident five years ago joined police at a sobriety checkpoint Friday night in Overland.

Jonathan Hearst died in the 2002 crash along with his friend Kevin Houska. Drunk driving suspects will meet members of the Hearst family at the checkpoint.

Hearst’s mother, twin sister and other relatives were at the checkpoint for most of the evening.

Any driver caught drunk at the checkpoint will be arrested, then be made aware of the Hearst family’s presence. They’ll also see a portrait of Jonathan.

I can think of something else they can do to help the cause of reducing deaths caused by drunk drivers, and this something will only cost them 78, er make that 82 cents, and about an hour of their time.

Address one envelope to:

U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill
Robert A. Young Federal Building
1222 Spruce Street Room 8.304
St. Louis, MO 63103

Address the other envelope to:

U.S. Senator Kit Bond
7700 Bonhomme, #615
St. Louis, MO 63105

And ask them both to oppose amnesty, guest worker, and comprehensive reform for illegal aliens, and support a border wall (which would cost only about a weeks’ worth of Iraq occupation money), and the 101st Airborne on the southern border.

That way, the never-ending tragedy of illegal alien drunk drivers that wind up killing white Americans (including one such incident in St. Louis) on seemingly a weekly basis will stop.

(Note: I know that the drunk driver involved in killing Messrs. Hearst and Houska was white. You don’t need to flood me with e-mails.)

Another Thing About the CASA of Maryland Brochure

From the Brochure:

Ordinarily, one shouldn’t think anything of this. But as many revenge-happy violent Hispanic Gangs (MS-13, 18th Streeters, Latin Kings, etc.) exist in this country, and as willing as the Paranoia-Industrial Complex (ADL, SPLC) is to sue cops over “racial profiling” of illegal aliens, this only serves to intimidate cops from apprehending illegal aliens for anything, even for matters more serious than just immigration status.

Hat Trick

Another way that a sombrero helped somebody beat the rap

The Blotter by ABC:

State prosecutors in North Carolina offered a plea deal and freed a suspected drug trafficker after it was revealed that a DEA agent forced the Mexican-born man to pose for a photo wearing a sombrero and holding a Mexican flag.

(snip)

“It was certainly very humiliating to my client,” said attorney Jeff Cutler, who represents Jorge Hernandez-Villalvazo, 42, who was originally scheduled to stand trial on cocaine trafficking charges this week.

First off, if the DEA made the bust, then why isn’t this in Federal court? After all, the U.S. Justice Department doesn’t usually yield to states’ rights.

Second, I wonder if such leniency would be granted to white criminal suspects who were similarly humiliated by the cops that arrest them.

I suppose this means that if the sombrero fits, you must acquit.

“And Yet”

LA Daily News:

FIFTEEN years ago on April 26, 1992, widespread civil unrest erupted in Los Angeles, following the not-guilty verdict in the trial of the four white police officers accused of using excessive force in the arrest of a black motorist named Rodney King. What have we learned about race relations 15 years after the Los Angeles riots?

Today Los Angeles is more racially diverse than ever and certainly one of the most diverse U.S. cities. And yet all is not well. Inter-ethnic violence in today’s L.A. is centered upon the targeting of African-American residents by Latino street gangs operating with the goal of eradicating African-Americans from “Latino” spaces.

“And yet” all is not well? Cross out “yet” and substitute “therefore.”

The Score is 42 to 37

That is, among El Salvadorian Gangs in American states.

MS-13 has presences in 42 states, while the 18th Street Gang is only in 37 states.

C’mon, 18th Streeters. You gotta get moving, and make that cheap labor lobby proud, don’t ya know.

Look Who’s Still Covering the Nicole Allen Murder

Mike Anderson:

Who’s still covering the Nicole Allen murder? Probably not the STLP-D; Lee supports amnesty and is likely to be unwilling to get past that to the real core of what went wrong. TV news? Dunno; maybe one or more of the stations is working on serious followups. KTRS? Haven’t heard much followup there; the station is concerned more with games than local issues. They have talented newspeople but they get minimal incentive from management to dig. KMOX News (though not their on-air talent), and KFTK’s Jamie Allman (who just got home from two days in DC discussing the immigration issue and will hopefully drill through that to the core problem here) are staying on top of this.

Nicole Allen was the victim of the drunkard illegal alien in Maryland Heights a few nights ago.

Yes, this is the same Mike Anderson that hates white southerners, and is also not a fan of the only national talk radio host that is most stridently anti-immigration, Michael Savage.

Hispanic Riot at Indiana Prison

They don’t say it, but you can interpret it.

Indianapolis Star:

The incident began when inmates from Arizona took off their shirts in a group display of noncompliance, DOC Commissioner J. David Donahue told WTHR-TV (Channel 13). A prison employee was knocked down. That person and a second employee were treated at a hospital for scrapes and cuts.

“Inmates from Arizona” = Hispanic = mostly illegal alien. Arizona probably has to “outsource” prison inmates, because the increasing Hispanic population there necessarily leads to a bigger prison population.

Then again, one can’t depend on the Indianapolis Star to come right out and tell you the racial truth, because they boast about their racial censorship.

No Wonder They’re “Struggling”

AP:

Philadelphia has seen more than one killing a day this year, totaling 127 as of Monday afternoon. New York, Chicago and Los Angeles — whose populations are much larger than Philadelphia’s 1.5 million residents — have had fewer homicides this year.

(snip)

This year, Street has pledged to have 1,000 community activists and clergy trained in conflict resolution. He has paired a tougher juvenile curfew law with stricter enforcement, an effort mayoral spokesman Joe Grace said has reduced shootings by teens in one targeted area.

The city also is spending $3 million to hire 400 parents as truancy officers to keep children in school.

Community activists (most of whom I wouldn’t give you a dime for), conflict resolution priests and truancy officers — with “solutions” like that, it’s no wonder that Philly is “struggling” with violent crime.

If Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 2007 were more like Philadelphia, Mississippi 1950, then they wouldn’t be “struggling” with crime.

Lightning Strikes in St. Louis

Undocumented, drunk, driving, accident, killed.  You can pretty much fill in the remaining words yourself.

An Ounce of Deterrence Beats a Pound of Victim Advocacy

This week is National Crime Victims Rights Week.

From this article, the professional crime victim advocacy industry seems to be concerned with matters relating to those who have already been victims of crime.  I see nothing on here about actually deterring crime, such as encouraging qualified individuals to earn conceal-carry permits, and lobbying politicians to reform civil rights laws in the spirit of racial realism, so that the criminal justice system can better combat black and Hispanic crime.

I suppose they wouldn’t want to make a dent in their own business.  That would be silly.

What’s Self-Esteem Got To Do With It?

Houston Chronicle:

Many times the victims are bruised in a fight or shoved down stairs. Others are stabbed with scissors. Last November, one was beaten to death with a hammer.

And the suspects, in more than 1,800 cases documented in Harris County over a recent 2½-year period, were their children.

One longtime prosecutor in the juvenile courts said he was “floored by the numbers” after a survey found 1,831 young people had been charged with assaulting a parent or guardian. Another called it an “alarming, alarming trend.”

(snip)

“It’s scary,” added Kris Moore, a juvenile prosecutor in Harris County since 1980. ” … I don’t know if it’s media or television or violent games or what. You’ve got so many parents out there working their butts off trying to make ends meet, and it’s harder for them to supervise their kids. If you get into a situation where parents aren’t in control of their kids, they’re going to get into trouble.”

I agree it’s partly those things, but what could also be cited are public schools and their fanatical “self-esteem” ideology, and parents that essentially believe in the same by means of their actions.  When a spoiled brat doesn’t get what he wants, he’s probably doing to do something like this.

Keep in mind that this is Harris County, Texas, with a lot of blacks (including Katrina refugees) and increasingly Hispanics.

Family Values Don’t Stop At The Border. They Sometimes Sneak North Of The Border.

Wedding dresses en route to Los Angeles for a breast cancer fundraiser are stolen in Arizona, and the thieves tried to smuggle them into Mexico at the Nogales border crossing, where the U.S. Border Patrol caught them.

I’m wondering what is up behind this. I’m also thinking that the “family values don’t stop at the border” gang will say that the silver lining behind this theft is that marriage still matters in Mexico.

Thank You President Bush and Johnny Suttonfong

Attacks on U.S. Border Patrol agents are way up.  Because the Mexican invaders know they can get away with it.

Might Be Going Back To Marion

KSDK-NBC-5:

MARION, Ill. (AP) — A Texas man is free on $100,000 bond after reportedly being caught with 761 pounds of marijuana in a tractor-trailer he was driving last week.

Williamson County prosecutors have charged Magdaleno Valdez, 28, of Hidalgo, Texas, with possession and delivery of marijuana.

If the Feds get involved, he might be coming back to Marion and staying for quite some time.

Nuevo Jersey

It looks like the FBI’s pursuit of a Hispanic bank robbery ring is what got FBI Agent Barry Bush killed.  The bank robbers apparently didn’t do any shooting, but Bush was shot by friendly fire.

MSM Links Chicano DWI Tendency To Culture

Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer suggests that binge drinking is especially macho for young Hispanic men, of which they note that North Carolina has many.  They also genuflect to “far from home,” “lonely,” “no family and church,” though the Hispanic culture is also macho to the point where a man is considered a sissy if he prostrates himself to what many people would think are his domestic responsibilities.
