Good News From California

Posted on | February 27, 2023 | 1 Comment

Kristopher Julian Baca Jr.

Say hello to 17-year-old Kristopher Baca and, while you’re at it, go ahead and say good-bye, because this juvenile dirtbag is no longer depleting the earth’s supply of oxygen. You’ve never heard his name before, but you may remember a case that made national headlines last year:

A Los Angeles mom mowed down with her baby by a hit-and-run teen driver who was given just five months in a youth camp has lashed out at soft-on-crime District Attorney George Gascón during an early-release hearing — as she also revealed she is hightailing it out of the state due to fear.
“Nobody in the room actually believes that (the suspect) is a good kid,” the furious woman, identified as Rachel, said in a call into an LA County courtroom in Lancaster, Fox News reported.
“Look at what he did. Nobody changes who they are to the core in four months,” she complained.
The 16-year-old driver was ordered in June to participate in a diversionary program at a juvenile probation camp over the August 2021 incident involving a stolen car.
Shocking surveillance video showed the teen plowing directly into Rachel as she pushed her 8-month-old son in his stroller down a Venice street the morning of Aug. 6.

That juvenile car thief was Kristopher Baca. He was already on probation at the time for trying to drug a girl’s drink, “roofie,” as they call it. And yet, after an offense that was clearly attempted murder, Gascon’s office treated Baca as if he were guilty of nothing more than a traffic offense, and he walked out free after just a few months in what was basically summer camp. Oh, but karma is always the proverbial bitch:

A Los Angeles-area teenager who ran over a mother walking her child in a stroller in Venice in 2021 and received just a few months of diversionary camp as punishment was gunned down in Palmdale [Jan. 19], according to FOX News.
Kristopher Baca, 17, of Palmdale was found fatally shot on Wednesday on a driveway in the 38600 block of 11th Street East, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
FOX 11 had not previously identified Baca in connection with the Venice hit-and-run due to his age. He pleaded guilty in the hit-and-run case last year.
The Los Angeles County Coroner-Medical Examiner’s office confirmed Baca’s death Friday but said the examination was still pending. At this time, there is no indication that his death is connected to the hit-and-run case, and no suspect description was available.
Sources close to the investigation told FOX News that he had been at a fast food restaurant earlier trying to “get with a girl.”
“As he walked home alone, a car pulled up next to him and an argument broke out. Someone in the vehicle opened fire, then sped off,” FOX News reported.

This is a sort of moral lesson that should be taught to children, the Parable of the Teenage Dirtbag, so that they learn what happens to young people who go astray. Even if they happen to be living in a car-thief’s paradise like L.A. where the District Attorney is objectively pro-crime, sooner of later that Big Wheel o’ Karma in the Sky is gonna turn, and the worthless punk will find himself bleeding out in somebody’s driveway.

Not since Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald has a murder victim’s death been less lamentable. Everybody in America is happy that Kristopher Baca got gunned down, a nearly ideal outcome. (I say “nearly ideal” because, without naming names, there are some people in California who deserve to die more than Baca did, IYKWIMAITYD.)

In Defense of Scott Adams

Posted on | February 27, 2023 | 2 Comments

As everybody knows now, “Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams has been #canceled because of what is being called a “racist rant” he posted on his daily video stream last week. An acquaintance who knows Adams passed along the word that Adams is wealthy enough that this is basically his way of taking early retirement. What’s most interesting in this controversy is that none of the people rushing to condemn Adams has even bothered to explain why what he said was wrong.

As a matter of fact, good luck finding any media outlet that has actually quoted Adams — at length, in context, so that readers can judge for themselves whether he said anything “racist.” When I went searching for a transcript, I couldn’t find one, nor did any media sources quote more than a few phrases from his “rant,” and this ought to be your first clue that maybe you’re being misled by the shrieking maniacs in this cancel-culture lynch mob. Click here to see for yourself the full “rant,” and perhaps many people would say Adams “went too far,” or suspect that maybe he was engaging in hyperbole, exaggerating for effect — which, if you think about it, is what his cartoons often do, exaggerating the behavior of people in office environments for comic effect.

Is it possible that Scott’s humor is too subtle for some people? During his “rant” (which wasn’t actually a rant), Adams says, “As you know, I’ve been identifying as black for a while — years now — because I like to be on the winning team.” Satire much? The claim of “identifying as black” is obviously a joke, intended to mock the likes of Rachel Dolezal or the whole “identity” thing, as such. With that humorous preamble, then, why are we supposed to treat what comes after it as entirely serious?

But that’s just how it is with cancel culture. The target of the shrieking mob is presumed guilty, and people are afraid to defend the target, lest they become tainted with guilt-by-association. Too many people buy into this mentality, believing that the accusation of “racism” (or “transphobia” or whatever) must always be treated seriously, as if the cancel culture lynch mob can be presumed to be acting in good faith. There must be something wrong with Adams, many people will assume, because why else would people be saying these things about him? Here, for example, is Lincoln Brown “defending” (?) Adams at PJMedia:

In an already polarized nation, Adams’ comments are the red meat over which the blue media salivates. The Daily Kos began its piece with the 1963 quote from former Alabama governor George Wallace, “I say, segregation today… segregation tomorrow… segregation forever.” The comparison was obvious. The Daily Beast’s headline called Adams “unhinged” and kicked off the article by calling him a Trump supporter. Because you can’t write a news piece today without mentioning Trump at least once.*
Adams did make some inflammatory comments. Calling 47% of blacks a hate group certainly qualifies. Urging white people to get away from black people has raised some eyebrows, as has his talking about his own decision to move. But he also quoted CNN’s Don Lemon as saying that there are problems in black neighborhoods that are not present in white neighborhoods. The Left can be as outraged as it wants, but Lemon said it. Start with him.
Was Adams’ video a racist rant, or the sound of a man giving up?

How about, neither? Consider the possibility that what Adams was doing was trying to call attention to a serious social problem and choosing, as his weapon, his accustomed hyperbole. Or as an alternative theory– if you think his remarks about white people needing to “get the hell away from black people” were meant literally — how about the possibility that Adams was merely guilty of saying out loud what a lot of white people (including liberal white people) actually do in their day-to-day lives. Like, when was the last time any of you crackers visited West Baltimore? Or do any of the people denouncing Scott Adams as racist have any intention to relocate to Philadelphia’s Tioga-Nicetown neighborhood?

Because I’m not a mind-reader, I won’t pretend to know what Scott Adams had in mind when he said what he said, but I know him to be an intelligent person who probably doesn’t plan to start painting swastikas on synagogues or fire-bombing black churches to express his “racism.” Nor do I think he intends to incite anyone else to “hate crimes.” The risk of oppressed minorities being attacked by “Dilbert” fans is probably close to zero. The idea of Scott Adams as a 21st-century Hitler is ludicrous and yet, because the shrieking mob of lunatics is yelling “RAAAAACISM!” at the top of their lungs, every newspaper in the country has to cancel the only comic strip that is still funny. Perhaps the best thing you can do is to order some Dilbert books like Eagerly Awaiting Your Irrational Response, or maybe some Dilbert T-shirts, and then go spray-paint swastikas all over the place. No, wait — that was a joke!

You can never be too careful about this stuff nowadays.

NFL Star: ‘Hey, New York Taxes Suck!’

Posted on | February 27, 2023 | Comments Off on NFL Star: ‘Hey, New York Taxes Suck!’

Buffalo Bills strong safety Jordan Poyer is one of the best defensive backs in the NFL. If you’re a quarterback going up against the Bills, your first read is to figure out where Poyer is, and then throw the ball somewhere else. (Just ask Lamar Jackson what happens if you throw it near Poyer.) When he signed a contract extension with the Bills three years ago, it was worth $9.7 million a year, but this year, Poyer’s a free agent, and it doesn’t seem likely he’ll be sticking around Buffalo:

When discussing where he would like to play, money was a major factor for Poyer. Last year, he made $5.6 million, but was open about how he felt on the taxes that were taken from that number.
“A lot of people ask me, ‘Oh, if it wasn’t Buffalo, where would you go?’ I kind of ponder the question every once in a while,” Poyer said . . . “I would love to go to a state that doesn’t take half my money. It’s crazy to me how taxes work. Some people will say, ‘You’re already making X amount of money.’ Taxes play a big part in all of our lives.”
In 2022, New York had the highest tax burden in the country at 12.75 percent, according to CNBC. Poyer made more in 2022 than he did with his 2019, 2020 and 2021 salaries combined, and the impact of the taxes was clearly felt by the safety.
If he wants a place without state income tax, there are multiple locations with no income tax and an NFL team that could be options.

Tennessee (Titans), Nevada (Las Vegas Raiders), Texas (Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans), and most of all Florida (Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Miami Dolphins) would seem the most promising relocation spots for Poyer, if avoiding state income taxes is his top priority in free agency. Because I’m a Patriots fan, I’d prefer Poyer to exit the AFC East, so scratch Miami off the list, and frankly it would be better if he left the AFC altogether, which eliminates the Titans, the Raiders, the Texans and the Jags. Looking at the 2023 Patriots schedule, I see they’ve got an away game at Dallas, so therefore the ideal location for Poyer is Tampa Bay. Best wishes, Bucs fans! Certainly, there’s no hope that Poyer would consider an offer from New England, because the People’s Republic of Taxachusetts is scarcely better than New York.

FMJRA 2.0: Home Is Nevada

— compiled by Wombat-socho

I had a good weekend at Confinement; didn’t sleep as much as I should have, but I managed to control my nibbling and my jeans feel a tad looser, so I have that going for me. Also talked to a bunch of folks about all kinds of stuff, and got some useful advice about setting up Son of Silvercon later this year. So that was good. Still, I’m glad to be hanging out in the Nashville airport, waiting for my flight and listening to a gal who has a voice reminiscent of Dolly Parton’s singing what the bar crowd wants to hear, because I’m going home via Vegas.

News From Gwinnett County, Georgia

Posted on | February 25, 2023 | Comments Off on News From Gwinnett County, Georgia

Before proceeding to the latest news, this seems like a convenient opportunity for me to remind you that that you can purchase a 7-horsepower wood chipper from Amazon for $659 through our associates program, which pays me a modest commission on all products purchased through our affiliated links, at no cost to you. And you might say to yourself, “What would I do with a 7-horsepower wood chipper?” Trust me, it could come in handy, and you might soon decide you need one.

Missing teen rescued from suspected
sex traffickers at Gwinnett Walmart
Three men are in jail and a 14-year-old is back home after police say they arrested human traffickers at a Gwinnett County Walmart.
Police say the men trafficked the teen for nearly two weeks.
Not everyone can spot a human trafficking victim out in public.
Lawrenceville police say one of their officers did just that when he rescued the 14-year-old from three men accused of trafficking her.
“They don’t cry out for help,” said Camila Zolfaghari, executive director at Street Grace, which helps victims of human trafficking in the metro. “It’s a great sign that this officer clearly had been trained to look for signs, look for signs of trafficking.”
Zolfaghari said it’s common for traffickers to manipulate their victims.
“Usually, they try to protect their trafficker because their traffickers told them, ‘Hey, if you tell them what’s going on, you’re going to get in trouble,’” Zolfaghari said.
On Wednesday night, Lawrenceville police responded to a call at the Walmart on Collins Hill Road about a child in distress.
Police said the officers figured out that the 14-year-old is a victim and was reported as a missing person out of Cobb County.
Investigators arrested three men and say they forced the girl into prostitution for 13 days inside of an apartment on Maddox Street. . . .
Police say the girl has been returned to Cobb County where she can get physical and emotional help.
The three men remain in jail with no bond.

Why are they being held on no bond? Perhaps because if they get turned loose, they might have a tragic accident involving a wood chipper.

Obligatory CNN Mention

Posted on | February 25, 2023 | 1 Comment

Last week on The Other Podcast, I lamented that my co-host John Hoge didn’t have time to get us a sound bite of the Paw Patrol theme song to play during our segment about the neverending woes at CNN (whose programming gets lower ratings than the Nickelodeon kiddie cartoon). A few recent headlines should suffice to convey the situation:

CNN is in a hole and they keep digging themselves deeper. This week, Don Lemon returned after a three-day absence:

Don Lemon’s three-day hiatus from “CNN This Morning” resulted in a 5% increase in viewership for the struggling cable news show, which was thrown into turmoil by the co-host’s sexist remarks about GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley last week.
Viewership of “CNN This Morning” reached a total of 617,000 households on Feb. 17 — the first day of Lemon’s absence. The next day, viewership reached 678,000 total households during the three-hour block this past Monday, according to data provided by Samba TV, the analytics firm that provides real-time data on audience measurement for streaming services.
“CNN This Morning” attracted an even larger audience on Tuesday, when it drew 709,000 households, according to Samba TV. Lemon returned on Wednesday. . . .
“Average viewership the two days following his comments was up 5% compared to the average daily viewership the week before,” [Dallas Lawrence, a senior vice president at Samba TV] said.
“In fact, two out of the three most-watched days in the past eight analyzed were the days in which Lemon was absent.” . . .
A chastened Lemon returned to the airwaves on Wednesday morning. Before taking his seat alongside co-host Poppy Harlow, Lemon posted an apology on Twitter.
“I appreciate the opportunity to be back on @CNNThisMorning today,” he wrote amid calls for him to have been fired.
“To my network, my colleagues and our incredible audience — I’m sorry.”
“I’ve heard you, I’m learning from you, and I’m committed to doing better. See you soon,” he wrote.
During Wednesday’s return, Lemon never made mention of the controversy on air.
Lemon sparked outrage during the Feb. 16 broadcast of “CNN This Morning” when he told Harlow and fellow co-host Kaitlan Collins that the 51-year-old Haley was “not in her prime.”
The remark prompted Harlow, 40, to storm off the set in disgust.

What I liked best was that part about “our incredible audience” — “incredible” meaning unbelievable, because how is it possible that a supposedly important news network could have so few viewers?

At any rate, I’ve given John sufficient warning to get that sound bite ready, so tune in at 7 p.m. ET tonight for The Other Podcast.

Paw Patrol, Paw Patrol, whenever you’re in trouble!
Paw Patrol, Paw Patrol, we’ll be there on the double!
No job’s too big, no pup’s too small.
Paw Patrol, we’re on the roll!

21st-Century Fast Food Anarchy

Posted on | February 24, 2023 | Comments Off on 21st-Century Fast Food Anarchy

Police in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, are seeking “a person of interest in an assault case,” which “unfolded when an unidentified woman became angry over cold french-fries”:

Police report the woman who approached workers at the counter of Hardee’s on Middle Tennessee Boulevard, was acting angry saying that the fries she was served were cold. The MPD reported, “The customer began throwing the food over the counter at employees. As the unknown individual tried leaving the restaurant, an employee followed.” Authorities say when the employee followed the woman towards the door, his hat was knocked off and the woman allegedly punched the worker in the face, twice.
The person of interest left Hardee’s on Middle Tennessee Boulevard in a white four-door Hyundai sedan.

So be on the lookout for that Hynundai driver in Murfreesboro. Meanwhile, if you’re serving fried chicken in Augusta, Georgia, don’t forget the biscuits:

A Popeye’s customer is accused of ramming her vehicle into the fast-food restaurant because her order didn’t have biscuits.
Belinda Miller, 50, of Augusta, was charged Wednesday with aggravated assault and criminal damage to property in the first degree.
And this isn’t the first time she has rammed a building with the same vehicle!
At Popeye’s, Miller fled the scene on Saturday after ramming her black Toyota Rav4 into the Walton Way restaurant, according to a sheriff’s report.
Manager Jackie Blount said the angry customer drove the SUV into the east entrance of the restaurant, nearly striking an 18-year-old employee. . . .
Blount told authorities that she corrected the mistake and gave Miller her biscuits, but the suspect was still not happy.
“After Miller drove her vehicle through the building, she fled the scene and her vehicle was later found at her residence with front end damage,” a report says.
In May 2020, Miller claimed she was “drunk and upset” when she rammed her car into the side of an apartment building — twice! She drove the 2011 Toyota Rav 4 into the side of an apartment building at Forest Brook Apartments on Damascus Road.
The man she was arguing with tried to calm her down after she hit the building the first time. She backed up and struck the building a second time.
In 2018, the same woman allegedly pulled on the wheel as a man was driving, causing him to run off the road and into a wooded area. She was also charged with punching him as he drove.
She got probation in both cases from 2018 and 2020, according to online records.

Please, lock this woman up before she kills somebody! Meanwhile, in Florida, make sure your customer gets her free cookie, or else:

An Altamonte Springs woman was arrested and booked into jail on several charges after she allegedly loaded a handgun and began to wave it at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Florida because she did not receive a free cookie she believed she was owed, according to the arrest affidavit.
Amari Bente Hendricks, 24, was booked into the Seminole County Jail on Feb. 16 on several charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, improper exhibit of a firearm, battery causing bodily harm, and resisting an officer, the report said.
The McDonald’s employee told an officer with the Altamonte Springs Police Department that the woman was mad that no one asked if she was using the fast-food restaurant’s rewards program and because of that, she thought she was entitled to a free cookie, according to the arrest affidavit.
When the employee got to the window, Hendricks was allegedly yelling and acting irate. The woman was eventually given a free cookie, and continued to argue with the employee, the report said.
The worker told officers that Hendricks then grabbed a black handgun, inserted a magazine, and proceeded to rack the slide. The woman said she heard two click sounds “associated with someone chambering a round,” according to the report.
Hendricks them parked her car in front of the McDonald’s and allegedly attempted to open the front door. Employees had locked the door because they feared for their lives, the report said. Police said Hendricks forced herself inside the restaurant and struck one of the employees multiple times and forced him out of the building.

Just random violence, caused by poor customer service.

But some people may find another pattern here.
