Crazy People Are Dangerous: Teen Psycho Tranny Arrested After Planning Mass Murder at Colorado Middle School

Posted on | April 7, 2023 | 1 Comment

William ‘Lilly’ Whitworth

Yeah, I know what you’re saying: “Pretty sure I saw Teen Psycho Tranny open for the Talking Heads in 1983.” But all joking aside . . .

A 19-year-old former student has been accused of threatening to shoot up multiple schools and churches in Colorado Springs, Colorado, according to an affidavit from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s (DA) Office.
The Elbert County Sheriff’s Office filed formal charges against William Whitworth, who identifies as “Lilly,” on April 1. An arrest affidavit obtained by the Daily Caller refers to Whitworth as Lilly, but checks off his sex as “male.” Whitworth is charged with two counts of criminal attempt to commit murder in the first degree, criminal mischief, menacing, and interference with staff, faculty or students of educational institutions, the affidavit shows.
Whitworth’s sister called the sheriff’s office to their home, reporting multiple threats Whitworth had allegedly made against schools in the area. Deputy Mike Watters asked Whitworth if he intended to shoot up a school, to which Whitworth nodded his head “yes,” according to the affidavit. Whitworth said Timberview Middle School, which he allegedly attended for fifth, sixth and seventh grade, was one of his “main targets,” but that he also intended to shoot up churches, according to the document. . . .
Whitworth offered to show Watters his manifesto, but in the process of looking for it police found several notebooks with drawings of desk setups and floor plans, including a drawing of a clock apparently to use as a detonation device, according to the affidavit. The notebook also listed the name of conservative Canadian activist Lauren Southern, calling her “pathetic,” and Donald Trump, whom he called a “con-man.” Police also retrieved a copy of “The Communist Manifesto” as evidence, according to the document.
Another notebook police believed to be the manifesto contained “a list of firearms and how to 3D print them,” “detailed lists of numerous named individuals to be killed and their indented casualty versus injury rate,” “information detailing the creation of improvised explosive devices” and “the Finalization of locations being Timberview Middle School, Prairie Hills Elementary, and Pine Creek High School,” according to the affidavit.

Not just a teen psycho tranny, but a Communist, too!

And speaking of dangerously crazy teenagers, the 13-year-old son of Rebekah Jones was arrested for threatening a school shooting. Many readers will recall “Everybody Blog About Rebekah Jones Day” in 2021, when Jones was claiming to be a heroic “whistleblower” and pushing bogus harassment charges against Christina Pushaw. In this latest episode, Jones claimed that Governor DeSantis was somehow to blame for her son getting arrested — a claim that predictably proved to be bullshit, just like 100% of everything else Rebekah Jones says. In fact, police say, Jackson Jones “made repeated threats to shoot up Holley Navarre Middle School and to stab students who angered him.”

Jackson Jones, 13

No word on whether Jones’ son identifies as transgender, or just regular teen psycho, but one thing is certain: Crazy People Are Dangerous.



 

 

NY Prosecutor: ‘We Know Incarceration Doesn’t Really Solve Any Problems’

Posted on | April 7, 2023 | 1 Comment

From the DA’s office that is prosecuting Donald Trump:

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s chief prosecutor, Meg Reiss, bragged about letting violent criminals and felons off the hook – including a murderer – using her restorative justice approach to help them avoid incarceration, Fox News Digital found.
“We know incarceration doesn’t really solve any problems,” Reiss said during a Peace Institute event in May 2021. Fox News Digital has previously reported that Reiss said criminals are not “bad dudes” while simultaneously blasting juries for believing police officers facing misconduct allegations deserve the “benefit of the doubt.”
Reiss went on to describe how the Manhattan district attorney helped a murderer get out of jail time for a homicide victim who had very few relatives. . . .
Reiss also blasted the idea that criminals in New York illegally possessing firearms should amount to jail time.
She said the office has a “gun diversion” program for criminals illegally possessing firearms. . . .
Criminal possession of a firearm in New York is a Class E felony, and carries up to four years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office did not answer whether it is their general practice to divert Class E felons and violent criminals from the criminal justice system.

There is a word for Meg Reiss’s attitude: insanity.

In 2016, Reiss was appointed as the first Executive Director of the Institute for Innovation in Prosecution (IIP) at CUNY’s John Jay College. She was described at the time as a “Brooklyn and Nassau County prosecutor with more than two decades of high-profile experience in the courtroom and in efforts to reform the criminal justice system.”

The phrase “reform” implies that the criminal justice system in New York wasn’t working. We may then ask, for whom was it not working?

As you can see, over the course of two decades, there was a drastic decline in the number of murders in New York City, from a peak of more than 2,000 per year in the early 1990s, to fewer than 500 by 2007. By the time Reiss was appointed to head the Institute for Innovation in Prosecution in 2016, NYC’s murders had decreased to fewer than 350 a year.

From a standpoint of public safety, then, there seemed to be no need for “reform” or “innovation” in New York’s criminal justice system, but once you start such “reform” measures — e.g., eliminating cash bail, and declining to prosecute “low-level offenses,” as Alvin Bragg has done — it’s amazing how quickly criminals discover that there are no real consequences. After 2017, when there were only 272 murders in New York City, the homicide rate increased 67% percent by 2021, when there were 488 murders in the city. “Incarceration doesn’t really solve any problems,” we are told by Meg Reiss. We know this, she says, but if she explained how we know it, I must have missed the explanation.

What Meg Reiss and other “progressives” generally fail to acknowledge is the problem of recidivism. Criminal behavior, like most other patterns of human behavior, is largely a matter of habit. The person who, at a young age, develops a pattern of criminal behavior is likely to continue committing crimes:

Bureau of Justice Statistics studies have found high rates of recidivism among released prisoners. Examines the recidivism patterns of former prisoners during a 9-year follow-up period. The researchers found that:

— The 401,288 state prisoners released in 2005 had 1,994,000 arrests during the 9-year period, an average of 5 arrests per released prisoner. Sixty percent of these arrests occurred during years 4 through 9.
An estimated 68% of released prisoners were arrested within 3 years, 79% within 6 years, and 83% within 9 years.
— Eighty-two percent of prisoners arrested during the 9-year period were arrested within the first 3 years.
— Almost half (47%) of prisoners who did not have an arrest within 3 years of release were arrested during years 4 through 9.
Forty-four percent of released prisoners were arrested during the first year following release, while 24% were arrested during year-9.

One way of looking at this data is to conclude, as does Reiss, that “incarceration doesn’t really solve any problems,” i.e., even after serving a prison sentence for their crimes, criminals continue committing crimes. The possibility of being sent back to prison doesn’t seem to have as much deterrent effect as we might wish. But another way of looking at the data is to conclude that, when we do send criminals to prison, we need to keep them there as long as possible, in order to protect society from their habitual criminality. Oh, but that’s “mass incarceration,” the progressives scream, with no regard to the factor of public safety in such matters.

The people who elected Alvin Bragg as District Attorney deserve every bit of the violent anarchy they have unleashed on New York City. More Democrat voters getting murdered? Oh, what a shame!.

Chicago Votes for More Crime

Posted on | April 5, 2023 | 3 Comments

Some of us hoped, when Chicago voted Mayor Frogface out of office in the Democratic primary, that the city had finally come to its senses. But the runoff election proves Chicago is irredeemably lost:

The residents of the Windy City were offered a choice between someone who wanted to rebuild the Chicago PD and bring down the crime rates and someone who was on the record saying he wanted to defund the police. By the slimmest of margins, a bare majority of voters decided to stick with the carjacking epidemic because it’s been working out so well thus far, I suppose. “Progressive” candidate Brandon Johnson bested pro-cop Paul Vallas with a 51.4 to 48.6 margin. . . .
Chicago is well known for the “Magnificent Mile,” a formerly prosperous and productive retail district filled with high-end shops and fine dining establishments. Now it looks like a war zone. For the past year or more, it’s been the site of robberies, assaults, smash-and-grab heists, and even murders. Business owners have been fleeing the area. . . .
So how did this happen? As we discussed in the final weeks of the runoff, it really came down to a question of race. Vallas is white and Johnson is Black. Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor was making the rounds of every political rally in the city and preaching about the need to hold together “our Black and brown coalition.” And it looks like she managed that feat, if only by a slender margin.

It’s actually worse that Jazz Shaw realizes. The explicitly anti-white rhetoric about a “Black and Brown coalition” for Johnson ensured that the electorate was racially polarized, and Johnson got his highest percentage of the vote in majority-black wards where crime is the worst. Some of these wards have less than 1% white population.

Here, based on the NY Times ward-by-ward results and the City of Chicago’s official ward map, are the voting-age proportions of black and white in the wards where Johnson got the most votes:

Ward 24 … Johnson 84% …. Black 77% …. White 4%
Ward 21 … Johnson 82% …. Black 95% …. White 1%
Ward 20 … Johnson 81% …. Black 73% …. White 5%
Ward 17 … Johnson 81% …. Black 86% …. White 1%
Ward 16 … Johnson 81% …. Black 69% …. White 2%
Ward 6 ….. Johnson 81% …. Black 95% …. White 1%

The representation of 1% white voting-age population in wards 21, 17 and 6 results from rounding up fractions. The population of Chicago is 29% black, 33% white and 28% Hispanic, but the anti-white political climate in the city now means that only black candidates can be elected mayor, because black voters will never vote for a white or Hispanic candidate, and the appeal of a “Black and Brown coalition” will always persuade a certain percentage of Hispanic voters to vote for the black candidate. And this is happening, by the way, despite the fact that Chicago’s black population has declined while the Hispanic population has increased.

After the most recent census, there was a protracted fight in the city council over the Chicago ward map, which resulted in racial gerrymandering:

The map created 16 wards with a majority of Black voters and one ward with a plurality of Black voters. The map has 14 wards with a majority of Latino voters, rather than the 15 wards that the City Council’s Latino Caucus had demanded. . . .
Representatives of the Latino Policy Forum, a Chicago advocacy group, said they were “extremely disappointed that for the second consecutive decade Latinos have been shortchanged in their representation.”

Nobody in Chicago cares if whites are “shortchanged in their representation”; indeed, that is a fundamental goal of the “progressives” who control Chicago. There are 50 wards in Chicago, of which 60% are specifically carved up to ensure black or Hispanic majorities. And what this means, in terms of policy, is that Chicago seeks to avoid jailing criminals, who are turned loose to re-offend over and over again. When Jazz Shaw refers to the city’s “carjacking epidemic,” it’s no exaggeration. As recently as 2014, Chicago had barely 300 carjackings a year. Last year, there were more than 1,600 carjackings in Chicago, to go along with 737 murders and 2,937 people wounded from gunfire.

From Brandon Johnson’s victory speech:

Because tonight is a gateway to a new future for our city. A city where you can thrive regardless of who you love or how much money you have in your bank account. A city that’s truly safer for everyone by investing in what actually works to prevent crime. And that means youth employment, mental health centers, ensuring that law enforcement has the resources to solve and prevent crime.

Ri-iiiight. Not a word in there about putting criminals behind bars, because Brandon Johnson is against putting criminals behind bars.

By electing Johnson, Chicago has voted for more crime, committed by repeat offenders who know they won’t be prosecuted and sent to prison by Chicago’s “Black and Brown coalition” government.

Making History (Not in a Good Way)

Posted on | April 4, 2023 | Comments Off on Making History (Not in a Good Way)

Witness the dawning of Soviet America:

In a historic first of shredded norms and judicial weaponization — at least in the formerly exceptional United States — a former president and current front-running presidential candidate has been arraigned on criminal charges.
Donald Trump arrived in New York City on Monday to face charges conjured up by Soros-backed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg through a grand jury process in the near-universally Trump-hating city. The former president spent the night in his luxurious upscale quarters in the landmark Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan.
On Tuesday, the former president reported to the DA’s office and courthouse at 100 Centre Street to be fingerprinted and processed just before 2 p.m. In a blow to slavering leftists everywhere, the coveted mugshot was not taken. Democrats and Trump Derangement sufferers had been expected to use the image for historic purposes reflecting the seriousness of the charges and the gravitas of the situation, such as printed toilet tissue, dart boards, “Trump for Prison 2024” t-shirts, and similar hate aids. Nor was the once-and-possibly-future president handcuffed, most likely because his Secret Service detail pointed out that it would be ludicrous to handcuff a man surrounded by Secret Service agents.
From there, the front-running Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential race appeared before New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan at 2:29 p.m. The historic charges that are serious enough to warrant turning the United States into a banana republic and dividing her citizens against one another were finally unsealed. They included 34 counts of falsification of business records, which is a misdemeanor in New York State but which Bragg had tortured into felonies.

“Where were you when the Republic died, Grandpa?”
