Are You a Terrorist Threat? Do You Spread ‘Malicious Content Online’?

Posted on | June 16, 2021 | Comments Off on Are You a Terrorist Threat? Do You Spread ‘Malicious Content Online’?

If we’re going to start pointing fingers at “extremists,” what about you? Or me? Who among us is safe from the shadow of suspicion?

President Joe Biden’s administration announced their plans to create ways for Americans to report radicalized friends and family to the government, in an effort to fight domestic terrorism.
In a conversation with reporters, one senior administration official explained the importance of stopping politically fueled violence before it started.
“We will work to improve public awareness of federal resources to address concerning or threatening behavior before violence occurs,” the official said.
The official cited the Department of Homeland Security’s “If you see something say something” campaign to help stop radical Islamic terror as a domestic possibility.
“This involves creating contexts in which those who are family members or friends or co-workers know that there are pathways and avenues to raise concerns and seek help for those who they have perceived to be radicalizing and potentially radicalizing towards violence,” the official said.
Biden began his presidency with a stark warning in his inauguration speech about the “rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.” On June 1, Biden described the threat from “white supremacy” as the “most lethal threat to the homeland today.”
The Biden administration said it would also work with large technology companies on “increased information sharing” to help combat radicalization.
“Any particular tech company often knows its own platform very well,” the official noted. “But the government sees things — actually, threats of violence — across platforms. They see the relationship between online recruitment, radicalization, and violence in the physical world.”
The Department of Homeland Security also plans to deploy “digital literacy” and “digital fitness” programs to help combat “malicious content online that bad actors deliberately try to disseminate.”

Are you encouraging skepticism toward the Biden administration’s policies? That’s “malicious content,” you extremist! Got a Trump bumper sticker on your car? Your neighbors will rat you out to the Department of Homeland Security, because obviously that’s “threatening behavior.”

Hey, let’s talk about “unindicted co-conspirators” for January 6.

Read all about it at Revolver News. However, if you share a link to that on Facebook, you may be accused of spreading “malicious content.”

Robbery Victim Shot Seven Times, But He Survived. Why? Because He Shot Back

Posted on | June 15, 2021 | Comments Off on Robbery Victim Shot Seven Times, But He Survived. Why? Because He Shot Back

This crime didn’t happen in a ghetto, but in a thriving suburban commercial area west of Houston, Texas, in a McDonald’s parking lot:

Houston police have just released surveillance video of a violent robbery that happened on May 28 in which the victim was shot seven times.
They hope someone may recognize the suspect they believe is responsible for not only this crime but another violent robbery that happened on May 7.
Houston police said a man pulled into a fast-food restaurant parking lot in the 3100 block of Fountain View on May 28 because he wanted to grab a shirt out of his trunk.
He was ambushed by a suspect who put a gun to his head and demanded his property, police said.
When he refused, the suspect started shooting at him, striking him seven times in the chest, legs and hand.
“A lot more of our suspects have guns involved, and not only do they have guns, they’re using them,” said Sr. Ofc. Jeff Brieden with HPD’s Robbery Division.
Police said while the man was being shot at, he was able to reach for his gun and fire at the suspect, who was possibly injured but he got away.
The victim was able to get back inside of his vehicle and drive away to find help. He survived after two days in the hospital.
Officer Brieden thinks the suspect followed the victim, possibly for his BMW convertible or Rolex watch. . . .
During an investigation into this robbery, police discovered shell casings from the suspect’s gun matched the same shell casings from a robbery that happened on May 7 in the 2700 block of Travis.
Police said two people had just gotten out of their vehicle and were approached by an unknown man who pointed a gun at them while demanding their property.
The victims ran away from the suspect who police said shot at them twice, narrowly missing them.
The only description police have of the suspect is that he is a Black man who is about 5 feet 10 inches tall. He has a skinny build and on the robbery that happened May 28, he got away in a small white SUV.

While there was no description of the weapons involved, my guess is that the robber must have been using a smaller-caliber pistol because how else do you survive seven shots? The key factor, however, is that the victim decided not to be a victim. Watch the video:

 

Once the victim fired back, the robber took off running.

Look, if you’re going to drive around in a BMW and wear a Rolex watch, you’d better be prepared to deal with carjackers and thieves.

It’s 2021, Joe Biden is president and the judges everywhere are turning loose violent criminal because “social justice” or whatever. You may think you’re safe because you live in a “good” neighborhood, but bad guys from bad neighborhoods might decide to visit your neighborhood.

Rule 5 Sunday: Quiet, Please

I admit to not knowing much about the Metal Gear game franchise except that it apparently stars some Snake Plissken-looking dude who goes by the name of Solid Snake and has the secret power of hiding in boxes along with his other elite commando skills. Anyway, there’s apparently a dishy gal called Quiet in the fifth game of the series, and today we’re enjoying her portrayal by Russian cosplayer Sophie Katssby, whose Instagram is here if you want to see more of her pics.

‘Perpetuating Stereotypes’ Again: Three More Mass Shootings This Weekend

Posted on | June 13, 2021 | Comments Off on ‘Perpetuating Stereotypes’ Again: Three More Mass Shootings This Weekend

When a mass shooting erupted early Saturday morning in downtown Austin, the local media refused to quote a police description of the suspects for fear of “perpetuating stereotypes.” Meanwhile . . .

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Three people died and four people were injured in an early-Saturday shooting. None of the victims have yet been identified in the shooting that happened about 2:30 a.m. on Buckeye Road near East 89th Street.

SAVANNAH, Georgia — A mass shooting killed one person and left two others in critical condition. According to the Savannah Police Department (SPD), there are eight total victims in Friday night’s shooting. Arthur Milton, 20, was killed in the gunfire. Also a 13-year-old and an 18-month-old baby are both suffering non-life-threatening injuries. Police said the shooting occurred near the Fred Wessels Home apartments on Avery Street. Shots rang out around 9 p.m. when a dark-colored or red car drove by the residence and fired into a crowd of people outside the home. Police Chief Roy Minter said a shooting occurred on the same street on Tuesday night but no witness came forward with details.

CHICAGO, Illinois — Ten people were shot early Saturday morning in an attack in Chatham on the South Side, Chicago police said. The Cook County Medical Examiner has identified Kimfier Miles, 29, as the person killed in the mass shooting. The shooting happened just after 2 a.m. in the 7500-block of South Prairie Avenue, according to CPD. Chicago police said the victims were on the sidewalk when two male suspects approached and opened fire. A crowd of people were in the area where the shooting occurred later Saturday morning. Locals say it’s known as a spot where people bring their stylish cars and motorcycles to show them off.

Police haven’t issued descriptions of the suspects in any of these mass shootings, but at risk of “perpetuating stereotypes,” I’m going to take a wild guess and say none of the shooters were Trump voters.

Austin Mass Shooting: Media Won’t Describe Suspect Because ‘Stereotypes’

Posted on | June 12, 2021 | Comments Off on Austin Mass Shooting: Media Won’t Describe Suspect Because ‘Stereotypes’

You might think that when 13 people are shot in downtown Austin, and the gunman is still at large, that it would be a public service to describe this murderous maniac. But you’re not “woke” enough:

Police have only released a vague description of the suspected shooter as of Saturday morning. The Austin American-Statesman is not including the description as it is too vague at this time to be useful in identifying the shooter and such publication could be harmful in perpetuating stereotypes and potentially put innocent individuals at risk.

Oh, if it was a right-wing white supremacist Trump voter who had committed this atrocity, you bet the media would have no qualms identifying the suspect, “perpetuating stereotypes” or not. Because the “woke” media have made themselves utterly useless as a source of facts, we must turn to Breitbart for the relevant information:

A statement from the Austin Police Department states . . . “It is unknown if there is one, or multiple suspects involved. There is one suspect described as a black male, with dread locks, wearing a black shirt and a skinny build.” . . . The shooting follows massive cuts in police funding by the Austin City Council. The council cut $150 million from the police budget . . .

Is it any wonder why people hate the “fake news” media?

UPDATE: One suspect is reportedly in custody, but another is still at large. Police are calling it an “isolated incident” — apparently, two guys with a beef started shooting at each other, and all the wounded victims were innocent bystanders in the crowded nightclub district.
