Texas Psycho Killer’s Parents Claim They Taught Him ‘Love, Kindness … Tolerance’

Posted on | August 8, 2019 | 2 Comments

 

The emerging profile of the accused El Paso gunman shows him to be the spoiled and incompetent offspring of clueless parents:

The family of accused El Paso mass shooter Patrick Crusius has released a statement that says he was raised to love and accept others.
“Patrick’s actions were apparently influenced and informed by people we do not know, and from ideas and beliefs we do not accept or condone,” the statement said. “He was raised in a family that taught love, kindness, respect, and tolerance — rejecting all forms of racism, prejudice, hatred, and violence.” . . .
In court documents, Crusius said he was receiving benefits including food stamps and mentioned he had been receiving benefits from a public housing program, according to the El Paso Times.
Crusius had been living with his grandparents in Allen, about 30 miles north of Dallas, while he attended Collin College. He moved out of the house about six weeks before the shooting but spent a few nights in their home while they were out of town, the grandparents said in a statement.
Police said Crusius legally bought the gun he used in the shooting near his hometown. He drove the 10-hour trip to El Paso straight from the Dallas area. They said he got lost in an El Paso neighborhood and stopped at the Walmart where the attack happened because he was hungry.

Meanwhile:

The mother of the El Paso shooting suspect called Texas police weeks before the shooting to relay concerns about the semi-automatic rifle her son had acquired, according to reports.
The call, to the City of Allen Police Department, was passed onto a public safety officer who told the mother of Patrick Crusius, 21, that he was legally allowed to own the weapon, attorneys for his family told CNN and ABC News.
She was concerned about her son’s age, maturity and lack of experience and whether he should therefore be allowed to own an “AK” type weapon, CNN reported. . . .
His mother did not give her or her son’s name to Texas police and they did not seek any more information from her after the call, CNN quoted the family’s lawyers, Chris Ayres and R. Jack Ayres, as saying.

Here was an unemployed 21-year-old attending community college while living with his grandparents, and receiving food stamps, yet he somehow managed to come up with the cash to purchase a rifle. His mother — who insists her son was “taught love, kindness, respect, and tolerance” — becomes concerned about her son’s behavior and calls police, but does not give them sufficient information to alert them to a potential threat. She doesn’t want to take responsibility for her failure as a parent, having raised a mass murderer who, not coincidentally, was such a hopeless loser that he got lost on his way to his planned target.

What? Your idiot son didn’t even know how to use GPS?

Before my oldest son was 21, he was very competent with firearms and was also capable of navigating even without GPS, because they teach that kind of stuff at Fort Benning and Fort Bragg. But while allegedly teaching their son love and kindness, et cetera, the Crusius family evidently failed to impart to their son the basic skills necessary to success in life. Would you care to guess what the psycho killer’s father does for a living?

Patrick Crusius’ dad, John Bryan Crusius, is a licensed professional therapist at Dallas Addiction Recovery Therapy, also called Infused Being Therapy and Counseling. His Twitter page, LinkedIn Page and website described his therapeutic approach as holistic. It appeared his counseling is focused on addiction recovery.
“I use an integrated treatment approach to all my therapy and counseling,” the website says.
His services include treatment for alcohol, co-dependence, substance abuse and PTSD, the website said. He also wrote a book called “Life Enthusiasm: A Path to Purpose Beyond Recovery.” . . .
[Patrick Crusius] attended Liberty High School in Frisco, Texas and transferred to Plano Senior High School in Plano, Texas. Frisco, Plano and Allen, Texas are all in the Dallas/Forth Worth area.
Patrick Crusius also has an older brother and a twin sister, according to public records. His mother, Lori Lynn Crusius, filed for divorce in 2011. She works as a nurse, according to PBS.

The professional therapist’s wife divorced him, and his son grew up to be a crypto-Nazi mass murderer. Way to go, “expert” dad!

8/8 = Hitler? ‘Remember, These Are the People Who Tell Us Trump Is Crazy’

Posted on | August 8, 2019 | Comments Off on 8/8 = Hitler? ‘Remember, These Are the People Who Tell Us Trump Is Crazy’

 

So says Professor Reynolds, referring to the conspiracy theorists who babble lunatic gibberish on an obscure cable networks:

MSNBC analyst Frank Figliuzzi drew a numerical connection on Monday between neo-Naziism and the Trump administration’s decision to fly flags at half-mast until Aug. 8 in honor of the victims of a pair of mass shootings.
Figliuzzi is a former FBI assistant director who has been feted for predicting last month that white supremacist violence was potentially imminent due to President Trump’s rhetoric. . . .

Permit me to interrupt here and say that, even without his bizarre Neo-Nazi Magic Decoder Ring theory, it’s frightening to think that Figliuzzi was ever in a position of trust at the FBI, given his willingness to promote this cause-and-effect linkage between “Trump’s rhetoric” and “white supremacist violence.” In point of fact, the El Paso shooter said explicitly that he was acting as a copycat of the New Zealand mosque shootings in March. You can blame 8chan or /pol for the shooter’s action, but blaming Trump is a non sequitur. We continue with the article:

In an interview with host Brian Williams, Figliuzzi ripped Trump for not using the first-person voice to condemn white supremacism in an address on Monday, given the anti-immigrant motives of the killer in El Paso, Texas.
Part of countering the adversary of white supremacism, he said, was in understanding the significance of how they think. While he wouldn’t accuse Trump of purposefully flying flags until Aug. 8, he also darkly wondered who wrote the speech.
“If we don’t understand how they think, we’ll never understand how to counter them,” he said. “The president said that we will fly our flags at half mast, until August 8. That’s 8/8. Now, I’m not going to imply that he did this deliberately, but I am using it as an example of the ignorance of the adversary that’s being demonstrated by the White House.
“The numbers 88 are very significant in neo-Nazi and white supremacy movement. Why? Because the letter ‘H’ is the eighth letter of the alphabet, and to them the numbers 8-8 together stand for ‘Heil Hitler.’ So we’re going to be raising the flag back up at dusk on 8/8.”
“No one is thinking about this,” he added.

Is he off his meds? Has he sought counseling? Back in November 2016, I mocked liberals for claiming they were “traumatized” by Hillary’s defeat, but now I’m beginning to suspect that they have never really recovered from the psychological damage they suffered on 11/8/16 — a number that must have some arcane significance, I’m sure, but unlike MSNBC guests, I haven’t been reading Nostradamus or consulting psychics or whatever paranormal means they use to divine the auguries and omens.

This Was Probably Inevitable

Posted on | August 7, 2019 | 1 Comment

 

“Dark psychic forces,” you might say:

A group of supporters of 2020 White House hopeful and Marianne Williamson has put together an “occult task force” in support of the spiritual guru; however, her campaign is none too pleased about the move.
In an interview with the Washington Post, the anonymous individual heading up the “task force” told the Jeff-Bezos owned newspaper that 13 witches, chaos magicians, and energy workers performed “gestures” in an effort to get Williamson more speaking time during Tuesday’s Democrat presidential primary debate in Detriot, Michigan.
“The whole orb gang community is tapping into the power of memes to reflect back on, and multiply, the sort of pulsing undercurrents of our collective unconscious,” the person emailed the Post. According to the publication, Williamson supporters refer to themselves as the “orb gang,” who share memes of the candidate on social media.

Basing such a story on an anonymous email? Professional Journalism!

Leaving aside metaphysical speculation about weird occult phenomena, let’s talk real politics: The Democratic National Committee has set a deadline of Aug. 28 for presidential candidates to qualify for the next round of debates in September. One of the criteria is having 130,000 unique donors and, as of 8 p.m., Marianne Williamson was at 113,521. That means she needs to get 16,479 new donors in the next three weeks.

Even a contribution of one dollar counts toward that total.

The Hate They Create: Democrats Sow the Wind, and Reap the Whirlwind

Posted on | August 7, 2019 | Comments Off on The Hate They Create: Democrats Sow the Wind, and Reap the Whirlwind

Daniel Greenfield explains at Front Page:

Identity politics was born out of an effort by leftist activists to identify and mobilize potential supporters by breaking down a sense of national solidarity along the lines of group victimhood. Every act of terror breaks down national solidarity further and strengthens the appeals to race over nationality.
Lessons about tolerance, white privilege and racial consciousness don’t end racism. They spread it.

Keep in mind that America’s public school system is an institution wholly controlled by the Democrats, who collect millions in contributions annually from teachers unions. Because a college diploma is a prerequisite to employment by the public school system, the Left’s control of university campuses ensures that all teachers are indoctrinated with left-wing ideology. That’s why the K-12 curriculum is no longer about teaching children important facts and useful skills; rather, it is about training children to be “progressive” activists.

Public schools are now dedicated to teaching children to hate Christianity, to hate their parents, to hate capitalism — to hate America — and a crucial part of this curriculum is systematic indoctrination about race, gender and sexuality: White heterosexual males are evil!

Having been taught (at taxpayer expense) that their lives are worthless, young white males internalize a suicidal sense of self-hatred, and then everyone acts surprised when some pathetic young loser decides that it would be cool to end his life with a mass-murder rampage.

Next time one of these massacres happens, will anyone in the media mention the role of public education in turning boys into killers? No, of course not, because the media is part of the same system.

Police in Canada Arrest #WaxMyBalls Tranny Jonathan ‘Jessica’ Yaniv

Posted on | August 7, 2019 | 1 Comment

 

Jonathan “Jessica” Yaniv (@trustednerd on Twitter) has become internationally notorious for his efforts to force women who run waxing services for women to do their thing on his . . . uh, thing.

Because of Canada’s “human rights” recognition of transgenderism, Yaniv has been able to claim he is a victim of illegal discrimination — a warning of what kind of insanity America would unleash if we similarly recognize transgender rights. Yaniv’s sick behavior, and his totalitarian project of silencing critics of transgender activism like Meghan Murphy, are suggestive of a psychopathic personality. There have also been accusations that Yaniv is a pedophile, and at least one young woman says she has reported to police that Yaniv engaged in inappropriate online conversations with her when she was a minor.

Attempts to end the Yaniv menace took an interesting new turn this week when, during an online video conversation with Blaire White, Jonathan/ “Jessica” brandished a stun gun:

Jessica Yaniv, a transgender B.C. woman whose complaints over being refused intimate waxing services sparked wide controversy, was arrested Monday, apparently for brandishing a prohibited weapon during an online debate.
Yaniv said officers showed up at her apartment in Langley, B.C., shortly after the YouTube debate on transgender activism ended. The officers asked her about a stun gun, she said.
“About three minutes after (the broadcast ended), I have RCMP showing up at my door and putting me into cuffs saying I have a prohibited weapon,” she said in an interview. . . .
The RCMP detachment in Langley confirmed an arrest and search of a home in the area but could not confirm specific details, charges, timelines or named individuals, said Cpl. Craig Van Herk.
He said the RCMP received information and based on it officers have “an open investigation, an active and ongoing investigation.”
Van Herk would not confirm or deny the charges or the circumstances behind them or what Yaniv said was the reason for the RCMP’s return to her apartment.
Neighbours of Yaniv confirmed seeing her being taken away in handcuffs Monday and Yaniv did appear that day, side-by-side in a YouTube conversation with Blaire White, a U.S.-based transgender woman whose videos often deal with transgender issues.
During the heated YouTube debate, viewed by the Post, White harshly criticized Yaniv’s tactics, actions and appearance and Yaniv said she faces harassment and threats because of the prominence of her trans activism.
“I have to carry pepper spray with me because people are so freaking violent over here,” Yaniv said during the debate.
She then stood up from her seat in front of her computer, rummaged around inside her apartment for a moment before returning.
“I should not have to literally have something like this,” she said. “I don’t need to be scared in my own house.” She then held up a stun gun and zapped it towards the camera, emitting a flash and a crackle.
“Which is illegal in Canada. Just sayin,” she added.

A contemptuous attitude toward laws — taking pleasure in defying legal restrictions — is typical of sociopaths. Just sayin’ . . .

DaTechGuy 2.0

Posted on | August 7, 2019 | 1 Comment

Longtime blog buddy Pete Da Tech Guy is rattling the tip jar to fund a site upgrade, and I just threw in a few bucks, because I owe him. Pete and I go back nearly 10 years. During the Great LGF Blog War of September 2009, when Charles Johnson decided to “expose” me as a racist — a long, long story — Da Tech Guy came to my defense, even though we’d never met. When you’re in the middle of a fight for survival like that, you can only pray for deliverance and thank God for every shot fired in your defense.

A few months later, when Scott Brown ran for the Senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy, I took a train to Boston and Pete drove down from Fitchburg to pick me up at the station and — ZOOM! — off we went on the campaign trail for the one of the wildest weeks of my life. We ended that week in a ballroom for the Brown victory party, at which Pamela Geller and Ace of Spades joined us in the front row of the press section, with the mainstream media assigned to the rear rows.

It was during that trip that I first began wearing a fedora, borrowing one from Pete, and so I owe him for that sartorial trademark, too.

Anyway, Professor Glenn Reynolds hit Pete’s tip jar last night, and so I felt obliged to do my part in helping fund his upgrade.
