President Trump ‘Should Be in Jail,’ Says Progressive Journalist Now Under Arrest

Posted on | June 9, 2019 | 3 Comments

 

Look at the date on that tweet from @DrPizza, which is the Twitter handle of Ars Technica reporter Peter Bright. April 19 — that’s the date when Bright said our President “should be in jail.”

 

April 19 is an interesting date in the life of Peter Bright, because a day earlier, he’d made contact with an undercover FBI agent. Of course, he didn’t know it was an undercover agent. He thought she was the mother of two children — a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old she was offering online for, uh, “sex education.” For more than month, Bright communicated with the agent, discussing what he’d like to do to the two preteens, sending photos of his genitalia, until on May 22 he went to meet them in Manhattan and was arrested.

 

The affidavit in the Peter Bright case is horrifying to read. Bright, who identified himself on his Twitter profile as polyamorous, pansexual and “pervy,” apparently frequented a social-media site for kinky people, where his handle was “randomanon.” During his conversations with the undercover agent, Bright claimed that he was already sexually involved with an 11-year-old girl, and expressed interest in masturbation and anal sex with the two children he thought the agent was offering.

Allegedly, I hasten to add. It’s important, as a matter of journalistic ethics, to include the word “allegedly” here, because Peter Bright is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

 

Did I mention that Peter Bright hates President Trump and also hates every American who voted for Trump? Because the British-born journalist said some very vile things about our President, and encouraged the harassment of Trump supporters like Mike Cernovich:

The child sexual predator and pedophile called Cernovich a Nazi.
The child sexual predator also called Cernovich “off the rails,” in a conservation he had with his good friend Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs. . . .
Peter Bright also amplified this harassment campaign against my family and interacted with my stalkers and those who have threatened my daughter.

Hey, Mike, you forgot to include the word “alleged” — alleged child sex predator Peter Bright, who is a “good friend” of Charles Johnson.

 

It would be wrong — a violation of Journalism Ethics™ — for me to engage in any lurid speculation about what would happen to alleged pedophile Peter Bright if he goes to federal prison, but that professional consideration doesn’t apply to blog commenters, y’know.

WOW! Ohio Jury Delivers $11 Million Verdict Against Oberlin College

Posted on | June 7, 2019 | 1 Comment

In November 2016, Jonathan Aladin, a black student at Oberlin College, was caught shoplifting at Gibson’s Bakery near the campus of the elite private school, and two other black Oberlin students, Endia Lawrence and Cecelia Whettstone, were charged with attacking one of the bakery owners who tried to apprehend the thief. Activists with the #BlackLivesMatter movement at Oberlin accused the bakery owners of racism, and college officials promoted this false accusation. The three students pleaded guilty and, in November 2017, Gibson’s sued Oberlin, accusing the college of “libel, slander, interference with business relationships, interference with contracts, deceptive trade practices, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent hiring, and trespass.” Today, a jury came down hard on Oberlin, as Professor William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection reports:

The Jury in the Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College case has reached a verdict.
According to our reporter in the Courtroom, the jury awarded $11 million. Here are the details: Allyn W. Gibson was awarded $3 million, David Gibson $5.8 million, Gibson Bros. $2,274,500. Next Tuesday there will be a separate punitive damages which could be a double award (meaning tripling the $11 million to $33 million).
[Oberlin ice President and Dean of Students] Meredith Raimondo was held liable on the libel and interference with business relations, but not intentional infliction of emotional distress. By stipulation, the college is responsible for any amounts awarded against her, so she will not pay anything out of pocket.
We followed this case from the start of the protests, through the lawsuit process, and now trial. Here’s my statement:

The verdict sends a strong message that colleges and universities cannot simply wind up and set loose student social justice warriors and then wash their hands of the consequences. In this case, a wholly innocent 5th-generation bakery was falsely accused of being racist and having a history [of] racial profiling after stopping three black Oberlin College students from shoplifting. The students eventually pleaded guilty, but not before large protests and boycotts intended to destroy the bakery and defame the owners. The jury appears to have accepted that Oberlin College facilitated the wrongful conduct against the bakery.

A “strong message,” indeed! The cost of attending Oberlin is $71,390 a year, including room and board, and the mystery is why parents would pay such a sum to have their children indoctrinated with lunatic ideology at a school whose faculty and administration are infamously dishonest.

(Hat-tip: Steve White in the comments.)

UPDATE: It’s difficult for most people to understand how crazy Oberlin has become, or what an awful “education” students get there. A few years ago, I highlighted one typical Oberlin student, Kaela Elias, who hates men, Republicans and heterosexuality, not necessarily in that order:

“I hope men realize that we (women) actually fear for our safety every time we walk by you on the street.”
Kaela Elias, Aug. 4, 2015

“when i was younger, i thought i was straight because society makes you think that. it’s sad.”
Kaela Elias, Aug. 9, 2015

I hate male entitlement; I hate the things men are expected to do and think; I hate how much space men take up and that they don’t even realize it; I hate the way men oppress others and create violence and the fact that it’s often unintentional; I hate that I often don’t feel safe around men but still feel pressure to seek their approval.
Kaela Elias, Nov. 24, 2015

“I recently learned that the guy who lives next to me and literally never even makes eye contact with me is a REPUBLICAN. I am scared.”
Kaela Elias, Dec. 14

When did paranoia and hatred become a curriculum? Why would parents pay money to send their children to a campus crowded with such lunatics? Also see “Get Woke, Go Broke: ‘Social Justice’ Agenda Leads Oberlin College Into Crisis” (Feb. 27, 2018) and “The Cult of Social Justice” (The American Spectator, Dec. 21, 2015).



 

Google Lawsuit Proceeds

Posted on | June 7, 2019 | 1 Comment

 

A California judge ruled Friday that a lawsuit accusing Google of employment discrimination against conservatives, males and white people can proceed to the discovery phase. Clara County Superior Court Judge Brian Walsh rejected Google’s motion to dismiss in the class-action lawsuit. James Damore, who was fired by the Internet giant in 2017, was the original plaintiff, but last year Damore opted for arbitration, and four other men joined as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, although only two now remain. At any rate, this is a huge win, because discovery will likely uncover very damaging evidence documenting the extent to which SJWs have taken over Google, imposing speech codes and hiring quotas.



 

Violence Against Women Update

Posted on | June 7, 2019 | Comments Off on Violence Against Women Update

 

In November 2016, the Atlanta suburb of Covington was shocked by the murder of a 19-year-old girl:

No one is able to explain any of it — 19-year-old Alyssa Wright was strangled Tuesday, and investigators say it was her boyfriend, Elijah Ramoutar, 19, who killed her, at the home of his parents.
But what happened between them?
“That’s still what I’m waiting on. I have no answers,” Melinda Wright said.
Alyssa’s Facebook is filled with photos of her and her boyfriend. Her mother said they started seeing each other in January. She said he doted on Alyssa and there was no sign of any trouble.
Alyssa graduated from Alcovy High School in May. She was preparing to go to school to become a nurse.
“She had so much to live for,” her Aunt Tina said. “And this was such a senseless crime”
Alyssa’s is a face many will miss in her family and in the community.
“She was such a joy to be around. She was always smiling, always laughing,” her Aunt Phyllis said.

This week, the murderer pleaded guilty:

A Covington man was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty Wednesday to strangling his 19-year-old girlfriend 2½ years ago, according to the Newton County District Attorney’s Office.
Jury selection just started Monday in the case of 21-year-old Elijah Romoutar on charges of malice murder, felony murder and aggravated assault. “In the middle of the state’s sixth witness,” the DA’s office said in a statement, “the defendant indicated that he wanted to plead guilty to all the charges against him.”

 

Feminists won’t mention this violence against women, for some reason.



 

Leni Reifenstahl and Steven Crowder

Posted on | June 7, 2019 | 1 Comment

Look, I don’t care what you think of Steven Crowder, his YouTube channel is not in the same category as Triumph of the Will, but in the great crackdown at YouTube — evidently inspired by gay totalitarian Carlos Maza’s complaints — they’ve banned Leni Riefenstahl’s 1935 Nazi propaganda film, to say nothing of suspending advertisements on dozens of innocent channels. YouTube will regret surrendering to the SJWs, the only question is when and how they will pay the price.

(Hat-tip: Ed Driscoll at Instapundit.)

UPDATE: Here’s liberal Katie Herzog’s take on l’affaire Crowder:

Crowder is a comic, doing exactly what comics do: Mocking a public figure. There’s nothing illegal about that, and if YouTube does reverse its decision and start to ban everyone who mocks people for their sexuality or race, they’re going to have to ban a whole lot of queer people of color who enjoy making fun of straight white dudes next. That’s not a precedent I’d like to see set.

Exactly. Maza’s attitude reminds me very much of certain feminist Tumblrinas who publish unhinged anti-male screeds and yet immediately cry “harassment” as soon as they get any blowback. Engaging in public debate — which is what you’re doing when you publish a political blog or produce videos about politics — makes you a public figure, and makes you a fair target for criticism. There is a difference between criticism and harassment, but many people don’t seem to understand this.

Feminists like Anita Sarkeesian led the way in this crusade to prohibit online criticism, back during the 2014-2015 “GamerGate” controversy. Now we see the LGBT community imitating their bad example — which has boomeranged back on feminists, ironically, as many have been punished for criticizing transgender activists.
