What Counts as a ‘Tragedy’?

Posted on | October 7, 2020 | 1 Comment

Did I mention that I’ve been watching a lot of police chase videos lately? It’s my way of relaxing, tuning out for a moment the continuous drumbeat of political “crisis” messages from the media. There is not an actual crisis in America, but ever since Donald Trump was elected, the media have gone into such a complete panic — “Democracy Dies in Darkness”! — as to agitate their audience into a state of helpless fear.

The only way to avoid being sucked into this vortex of madness is to tune out these messages, and focus your mind on something — anything — that will absorb your attention. You need a hobby, something to distract you from the non-stop insanity on cable TV news.

For me, this is police pursuit videos. As I explained in the case of Mitch Taebel, after watching a few hours of these videos on YouTube “you find yourself developing a thorough hatred of these lunatics . . . and find yourself hoping that the driver either dies in a disastrous crash or is shot to death by cops.” Really, these are bad people, and if they die as a consequence of their evil actions? Well, that’s OK with me.

So it was a happy ending in February 2018, when a convicted felon named Billy Frazier decided to run from Douglas County sheriff’s deputies in my hometown of Lithia Springs, Georgia:

 

Frazier, 30, was doing 69 mph in a 45 mph zone when the deputy first pulled him over. Why did Frazier then try to escape in a high-speed chase? Well, he was on probation, having previously been convicted of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Frazier had a stolen pistol in the car, as well as what police called “a large quantity of prescription medications, MDMA (Ecstasy), cocaine and crack cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana that he intended to distribute.”

 

In other words, Frazier was a career criminal and drug dealer, and he knew that if cops caught him again, he was going to prison. That’s why he tried to get away and accidentally killed himself in a fiery crash.

So why is that video titled “Georgia police chase ends in tragedy”?

How is it a “tragedy” that a criminal got decapitated by T-boning into a semi trailer rig at high speed? This puzzled me enough that I decided to research the February 2018 incident, which is why I know so much about Frazier’s criminal history. Alas, he was not alone in the car:

A 10-year-old and a man were killed in a car crash that ended a police chase on the evening of February 3.
On Tuesday, Douglas County Sheriff’s officials released details regarding the fatal wreck resulting from a police chase on Thornton Road last Saturday night.
Here is what they say happened:
At 7:45 Saturday evening, Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies noted a gray 2006 Infiniti M35 headed southbound on Thornton Road near Westfork Boulevard doing 69 mph in a 45 mph zone.
The deputy initially pulled the Infiniti over, with both cars pulling into the Quik Trip gas station at the intersection of Thornton and Maxham roads. As the deputy began to get out of his car, the Infiniti sped off, pulling recklessly back onto southbound Thornton Road. The deputy took off in pursuit.
Officials said the pursuit was allowed to continue for about three miles because the Infiniti was driving in a reckless and dangerous manner and because the deputy said the driver was the only person in the car.
The Infiniti continued to weave in and out of traffic on Thornton Road aggressively and at a high rate of speed. After it passed Interstate 20, the Infiniti lost one of its rear wheels.
Officials said the deputy was authorized at that point to use a PIT maneuver to end the pursuit. Before the deputy could do this, however, the Infiniti went through a red light and hit a semi that was crossing the roadway at the intersection of Thornton Road and Riverside Parkway. As it struck the semi, the Infiniti went underneath the semi and caught fire as it came to rest on the other side.
At that point, pursuing deputies realized that there were four other people in the car — all children under the age of 16. The driver, identified as 30-year-old Billy Frazier of Atlanta, and the front seat passenger, 10-year-old Quemontae Frazier, were killed in the wreck. Deputies were able to remove the other three children — ages 6, 5 and 3 — from the burning car and put out the fire. None of the kids were wearing seatbelts.
That is the Douglas County Sheriff’s version of events.
“The car literally went underneath the trailer and then came out the other side,” said Douglas County Sheriff Jesse Hambrick. “It was a very bad accident.”
Frazier was driving on a suspended license and was on active probation at the time of the wreck.

It’s been years since I studied dramatic theory, but as I recall, tragedy was the downfall of a heroic figure as a result of fate. From the standpoint of the Greek classics, then, the basic aspects of the Billy Frazier saga don’t fit the definition. In the vernacular sense, of course, tragedy just means “something bad happened,” and certainly the death of a child is bad.

So the moral of the story, I guess, is that if you’re a convicted felon on probation with illegal drugs and a stolen handgun in your car, you should probably avoid speeding in Douglas County if you’ve also got four kids in the car, including a 3-year-old, not wearing seat belts.

A grim tale? Yes, but less depressing than what’s on cable TV news.

Michelle Obama Race-Shames America

Posted on | October 6, 2020 | 1 Comment

 

This video from Michelle Obama — 26 minutes long — is so crammed full of nonsense that it’s difficult to know where to begin debunking it.

She begins by declaring that “our country is in chaos” because of President Trump, and the only way “to regain any kind of stability” is, of course, to vote Democrat. Who caused the “chaos”? Could it be the people who invented a phony “Russian collusion” scandal? Could it be the Democrats in Congress who tried to impeach the president in February? Could it be the Democrat mobs rioting in the streets of major cities?

 

No, no, no, says Mrs. Obama: The problem is you, cracker.

White people are racist, and that’s why Donald Trump is president.

Everything is whitey’s fault, see? Unless you vote Democrat.

Vote Democrat, and all your sins are forgiven. That’s the Gospel of Michelle Obama. She praises Joe Biden as “a trustworthy, honest, stable leader . . . a leader who has the character and the experience to put an end to this chaos . . . the kind of leader our nation deserves.” Well, yes, if we’re foolish enough to elect that doddering old fraud, we deserve him.

Michelle Obama’s political belief system can be summarized as a simple formula: Democrats, good; Republicans, racist.

And that’s really what her video is all about. Except that she blabbers on rather emotionally for 26 minutes on this theme:

Former First Lady Michelle Obama claimed in a Joe Biden campaign video released Tuesday that protests across the U.S. are largely peaceful and “only a tiny fraction of demonstrations have had any violence at all.”
Obama says to differ with that conclusion is “racist.”
“It’s true,” Obama said about the protests. “Research backs it up. Only a tiny fraction of demonstrations have had any violence at all. So what the president is doing is once again patently false, it’s morally wrong, and yes, it is racist.”
Obama suggested that Trump is only using his emphasis on law and order as a diversion to “distract from his breathtaking failures” and to scapegoat racial minorities.
“They’re stoking fears about black and brown Americans, lying about how minorities will destroy the suburbs, whipping up violence and intimidation and they’re pinning it all on what’s been an overwhelmingly peaceful movement for racial solidarity,” she said.

 

“Overwhelmingly peaceful,” except for all the vandalism, arson and looting. “Overwhelmingly peaceful,” except for the crime wave caused by the “movement for racial solidarity” that murders police officers, assassinates opponents, and demands police departments be “defunded.”

Cook County, Illinois — Chicago, Obama’s hometown — “has recorded more homicides this year than in all of 2019, the majority of which — 95% — were people of color.” Perhaps Michelle Obama could explain to us why those murders are the fault of Trump-supporting white racists.

Cuomo vs. Jews: ‘We Know Religious Institutions Have Been a Problem’

Posted on | October 6, 2020 | 1 Comment

 

Over the weekend, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced he would “close non-essential businesses and all schools, both public and private, in nine ZIP codes in South Brooklyn and Central Queens where coronavirus cases have surged for weeks.” All of these ZIP codes have large Orthodox Jewish communities, and the definition of “surged” seems rather arbitrary — an average of 3% positive COVID-19 test results. We are told that “experts” consider this to be a crucial metric, but the same “experts” tell us that New York City has been a model for “containment” even though the city has the highest coronavirus death rate in the world.

Now, Governor Granny-Killer has taken charge of the pogrom:

New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo displayed a 2006 image of Jews congregating to single out the religious community when warning that enhanced lockdown measures are likely to come if the gatherings persist.
“We know religious institutions have been a problem,” Cuomo said during a Monday press conference. “These are pictures from the past couple of weeks. And these are just emblematic. … What did you think was going to happen?”
The images Cuomo displayed, however, are more than a decade old, from the funeral of Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum, who died in 2006.
Cuomo’s comments came as the New York governor also declared the state was taking over coronavirus lockdown enforcement from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who tried to selectively reimpose tight restrictions on several zip codes only to be overruled by Cuomo. Several schools in hot-spot areas, however, will be shut down starting Tuesday. Cuomo gave no date for reopening.

What Democrats are saying is that New York doesn’t have a COVID-19 problem, New York has a Jew problem. Why are Cuomo and de Blasio engaged in this kind of anti-Semitic scapegoating? Because it is politically convenient for them. Democrats have figured out that their electoral success is now dependent on appealing to black, Latino and immigrant voters who, to put it as charitably as possible, don’t like Jews very much.

Think about the anti-Semitic hate crimes that have plagued New York in recent months. Who is committing those crimes? Hint: Not Republicans.

Nobody in the media wants to talk about this, because it’s one of those facts that doesn’t fit the preferred narrative, where Trump-voting “white supremacists” are supposed to be the anti-Semitic bogeyman.

+ + + + + +

(P.S.: Today is my birthday. I’m now 61 years old, and if readers want to celebrate, perhaps $10.06 or $19.59 in the tip jar would be nice.)

‘The Third Time It’s Enemy Action’

Posted on | October 5, 2020 | Comments Off on ‘The Third Time It’s Enemy Action’

 

“Mr. Bond, they have a saying in Chicago:
‘Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence.
The third time it’s enemy action.’”

California Republican Omar Navarro invoked Goldfinger’s famous quote in questioning the timing of the COVID-19 outbreak that not only infected President Trump and the First Lady, but also Trump’s campaign manager and two Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Phrases like “targeted strike” and “biological warfare” are being tossed around on social media. You’re not paranoid if they actually are out to get you, and Deborah Franklin reminds us:

On Friday, the city of Cleveland reported that 11 cases of COVID had been linked to the planning and set-up of the September 29th presidential debate. Some commenters on social media speculated that the Republican debate area had been saturated with the virus in a biological attack, coordinated with China.
The sudden illness of so many prominent Republicans brought to mind a mostly forgotten incident in January 2018. A chartered train carrying Republican lawmakers and their families to a retreat collided with a garbage truck that inexplicably was stranded on the track. The front car derailed, killing one person. The media displayed no interest in the story and offered no follow-up articles explaining the unlikely scenario.
Seven months before the train crash, a gunman opened fire on members of the Republican congressional baseball team, severely wounding Steve Scalise, who was then serving as House Majority Whip. NBC reported: “Witnesses told investigators that when the gunman arrived at the ballfield, he asked people, “Are these the Republicans or the Democrats?”
In the almost four years since Trump has become president, Republicans have suffered three potentially mass fatality events.

As sources go, “some commenters on social media speculated” is not optimal and, considering what we know, the Sept. 26 Rose Garden announcement of Barrett’s nomination seems a much better candidate as a coronavirus “super-spreader” event. That being said, it is not paranoid to ask the question how the virus penetrated the presidential inner circle, at a time when the pandemic has been declining for months. Logically, the risk would have been far greater in April, when Americans were dying at a rate of 2,500 a day from the Chinese disease, or July when daily new cases peaked at more than 75,000. Instead, Trump and other GOP leaders contracted COVID-19 when the peak of the pandemic is long past.

J.J. Sefton further stokes the furnace of paranoia:

Trump’s term so far has severely checked China’s totalitarian ambitions, strategically and economically. Many leading politicians, especially Democrats and in particular that party’s leaders (Biden and Feinstein in particular) have been in bed with them for decades. Given the recent revelations by a whistleblower claiming the Peking Pox did indeed originate in a Chinese bio lab, and given the fact that a Chinese agent pretending to be a journalist (no pun intended) who was infected and symptomatic was removed from a West Wing press conference a few months back… do the math.
Taking all of the above into account, it is not tinfoil hat nuttery to speculate that the President, his staff and other Republican leaders were, for all intents and purposes, subjected to a biological attack in an attempt to actually kill him/them, or severely cripple him in the hopes of once again sabotaging the election.

I know there have been Chinese agents in White House press briefings, but I have been unable to find a source for the claim that one of these infiltrator “journalists” tested positive for COVID-19.

However, there was at least one enemy agent at last week’s debate.

 

I don’t have proof that Chris Wallace is on the payroll of the Chinese Communist Party, but evidence that he is anti-American — an active agent of the #Resistance — has become rather abundant lately.

How to Get Shot by Police

Posted on | October 5, 2020 | 3 Comments

Teenagers seem to be doing a seminar lately on this topic. For example, carjacking people at gunpoint? What do you think the odds are that a teenage boy is going to get away with this crime? He’s not an experienced driver, whereas the cops have logged many hours of training in pursuit tactics, with radio communications to assist them. And when the cops catch you, knowing that you have just used a firearm to commit a felony, do you think they they’ll leave their pistols in their holsters?

No, boy, you’re going to be confronted by cops with guns drawn screaming: “Let me see your hands! Let me see your hands!”

In Phoenix, Arizona, two boys ages 15 and 16 learned the hard way:

Police shot and wounded two teens suspected of stealing a car at gunpoint [Sept. 13] in Phoenix, sending them to the hospital in critical condition, according to authorities.
Phoenix police responded to an armed robbery call at about 8:45 p.m. at an apartment complex near Northern and 31st avenues, police spokesperson Sgt. Maggie Cox said in a statement on Monday.
The victim reported to police that two unknown males approached him in his apartment complex parking lot with a handgun and demanded his vehicle. After he surrendered his vehicle, the two males drove away.
Two officers traveling north on 29th Avenue found the stolen vehicle stopped in traffic near Dunlap Avenue, Cox said.
The officers exited their patrol car and approached the suspects, motioning for the driver of the car to remain stopped. Cox said the driver initially complied, but then he allegedly accelerated toward the officer at the front of the car.
Both officers fired their guns, according to Cox, hitting the driver, a 15-year-old boy, and the passenger, a 16-year-old boy.
The driver of the car continued south, and police officers followed toward the area of 29th and Northern avenues, where the passenger got out of the front seat. Police gave verbal commands to the driver, and when he did not comply, a K9 handler fired pepper balls into the vehicle “to ensure the vehicle was safe to approach,” Cox said. Finally, the driver got out of the car.
The two boys were treated by Phoenix Fire Department personnel and taken to a hospital in critical condition.
The 16-year-old was released from the hospital on [Sept. 14] and booked into a juvenile correction center in connection with the armed robbery, while the 15-year-old driver was still in critical condition as of [Sept. 14], according to Phoenix police spokesperson Sgt. Maggie Cox. . . .
Police said a handgun was found in the stolen vehicle.

Plot twist: It was two white kids!

 

It’s nice to have an opportunity to highlight white teenagers getting shot by the cops. No protest marches. No NBA players kneeling. No mention of these victims of “excessive force” on CNN. Cops can shoot as many white perps as they want, and nobody cares. Just a local crime story.

It’s Stabbing Season!

Posted on | October 4, 2020 | 2 Comments

Just in time for Halloween, we’ve got a spree of knife-wielding madmen terrorizing the streets of America in real life!

 

PORTLAND, OREGON:

Portland Police arrested a man early Saturday after they said he slashed two people with a knife in Downtown Portland.
Central Precinct officers were called to the area of SW 13th Avenue and SW Columbia Street around 2:00 a.m. on reports someone trying to stab people passing by. Upon their arrival, officers found two victims with serious cuts; one person had a cut on the arm, the other person’s cut was on the ear.
Witnesses say they saw a confrontation between the man with a knife and the victim at the corner of SW 13th and Columbia. At one point, the victim ran behind some shrubs in an effort to put a small tree in between themselves and the suspect. Witnesses said the victim was bleeding at that point.
Suspect: 29-year-old Hillsboro resident Travis Sadler. (MCSO)
Witnesses believe that the person with the arm injury was the initial victim, and the other person cut on the ear had tried to stop the suspect by grabbing or tackling him. The victim with the arm injury was taken to a hospital for treatment. Both injuries are considered non-life-threatening.
One neighbor also said they believed others tried to step in to stop the attack and were nicked in the process, but didn’t stick around to talk to police officers.
Officers arrested the suspect without further incident. The suspect was identified as 29-year-old Hillsboro resident Travis Sadler, according to police. He faces charges of assault and the unlawful use of a weapon.

 

ATLANTA, GEORGIA:

The Atlanta Police Department announced it arrested a suspect wanted for stabbing five individuals in four separate incidents.
According to a news release, Sept. 28 at about 11:10 a.m., officers responded to a 911 call about a person being stabbed in the area of 2456 Martin L King Jr. Drive in southwest Atlanta. Once they arrived, they found two adult males who were stabbed in the neck.
Just minutes after that, officers were dispatched following another 911 call about a person being stabbed nearby at 2680 Martin L King Jr. Drive. There they discovered a third adult male with a stab wound. “Officers searched the area but were unable to locate a suspect,” the release stated. “The description from both locations was very similar and investigators believed the same person stabbed all three of these victims.”
Sept. 29 at about 9 a.m. officers were called to 424 Decatur St. in southeast Atlanta, near the King Memorial MARTA station, following a 911 call about another individual being stabbed. There they found the victim, a 60-year-old male, with a serious stab wound.
“The officers on scene also learned that MARTA (Police) was investigating an incident that occurred nearby in which another victim was stabbed. Officers were searching the area when a witness pointed out the suspect. The suspect fled when police approached, and after a short foot pursuit officers from (Atlanta) and MARTA (police) apprehended 32-year-old Ahmad Jameel Rasheed.”
According to the police, the suspect description in the Sept. 29 crimes closely matched the description of the suspect from the previous day’s attacks.
“Because of the seriousness of the repeated attacks the APD homicide unit has taken over the investigation and is actively working to confirm whether the same person committed these crimes,” the release stated. “Once detectives can evaluate the evidence an updated statement will released.”
All five stabbing victims are expected to survive.
According to Fulton County jail records, Rasheed was arrested July 25 and charged with felony theft by taking but released Aug. 15.

 

ARLINGTON, TEXAS:

Police in Arlington have arrested an 18-year-old for aggravated robbery and believe he may be involved in other violent crimes in the area.
Surveillance video was released from the incident on Monday at a 7-Eleven in southeast Arlington involving the suspect, Osagie Ayanru. Police said he allegedly stabbed a store clerk during a robbery even though she complied.
The video also shows the suspect appearing to stomp on her and kick her while she was on the ground before he ran away.
Police believe Ayanru may be connected to an attack on Wednesday, where a couple was stabbed and robbed while walking in the 6400 block of South Collins Street.
The two victims were taken to the hospital, but one of them, later identified as 47-year-old Islam Sahmi Duly, died from his injuries.
Police said they also believe the suspect stole a vehicle from the same 7-Eleven store on Wednesday before the couple was attacked.
According to police, they believe the suspect was driving away from scene of the attack on Wednesday when the car he was in hit a woman who was walking her dog in the 900 block of Southeast Parkway.
A suspect jumped out of the car and tried to rob the woman, police said. Her dog was killed in the crash.
According to police, the woman told investigators she could hear someone yelling, “grab her wallet, grab her wallet,” as she lied on the ground.
Police said they are still investigating if there are other suspects involved.
Ayanru was arrested after police said the store clerk who was attacked was shown a picture and was able to recognize him.
He is charged with aggravated robbery and theft of a vehicle.

Be careful out there. Murderous psychopaths with knives are everywhere.
