Crazy People Are Dangerous

Posted on | April 20, 2024 | Comments Off on Crazy People Are Dangerous

There is a widespread mental health problem in Chicago:

Protesters showed up Thursday night at a Chicago Police Board meeting demanding the firing and prosecution of officers who fired 96 shots at Dexter Reed during a traffic stop last month.
Dozens packed a conference room at CPD Headquarters, 3510 S. Michigan Ave., in Douglas, while dozens more waited behind barricades outside, clamoring to be let in. Hundreds had gathered for a rally in support of Reed outside headquarters earlier in the evening.
Grace Patino, with the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, said during public comment that Chicago police Supt. Larry Snelling — who was at the meeting — should be dismissed.
“Dexter Reed should be here today,” Patino said. “The officers involved in the execution of Dexter Reed must be immediately fired and prosecuted to the fullest extent possible.”
“We need an immediate end to pretextual traffic stops, and Larry Snelling should be fired,” she added to loud applause.
Miracle Boyd, an activist with Good Kids Mad City, said Reed was “racially profiled,” and his death was detrimental to Black communities.
“We demand the tactical units be banned, and Mayor Johnson, Supt. Snelling and COPA fire the officers,” she said. “We no longer need police to perform traffic stops because it’s not safe.”

Got that? No more traffic stops in Chicago. This is insane — a demand to end enforcement of traffic laws, because Dexter Reed got killed after he shot first in a confrontation with five police officers. Do these people think it’s irrelevant that Reed shot first? Do they care nothing about the facts that (a) Reed was packing a 9mm pistol despite (b) being out on pre-trial release for a 2023 weapons charge, and (c) this shooting happened in one of Chicago’s most violent neighborhoods? (See “What CNN Didn’t Tell Its Audience About the Police Shooting of Dexter Reed Jr.,” April 10.)

If you are sane (unlike Democrat voters in Chicago), you are not likely to believe Reed was “racially profiled,” except insofar as at least 70% of the shootings in Chicago involve black suspects, so that if cops in Chicago want to “get guns off the street” (as liberals keep telling us they want to do), they’re probably not going to be looking for Korean suspects.

Was the death of Dexter Reed “detrimental to Black communities”? Perhaps someone should ask Dexter’s uncle about that:

Before Dexter Reed shot a Chicago police officer during a traffic stop and set off a gunfight that claimed his life, he was seriously wounded in another shooting over two years earlier when he threatened to kill a family member while brandishing a knife, records show.
Police records indicate Reed was in the throes of a mental health crisis when he attacked his uncle in August of 2021, leading his uncle to shoot him. Reed was left in a coma for weeks and struggled with his mental and physical health as he recovered.
Amid a series of lawsuits Reed filed after he was shot in 2021, he acknowledged that he suffered from schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Details of the earlier shooting, which haven’t previously been reported, along with the lawsuits and Reed’s social media posts, provide a clearer picture of a troubled life that ended in a hail of gunfire in Humboldt Park earlier this year. . . .
On the morning of Aug. 25, 2021, the uncle told police that Reed “was acting weird” and “just didn’t seem right” when he came to the basement of a family home in Austin after spending the night. Reed then pulled a six-inch kitchen knife from his pants and held it “in a menacing way,” according to a police report.
“I’m going to kill you,” Reed allegedly said as he approached his uncle with the knife in his right hand.
The uncle grabbed a gun and started yelling upstairs to his mother to call 911, the report states. His uncle’s mother, who was Reed’s grandmother, then came downstairs and tried to intervene but was pushed to the ground.
Reed then lunged at his uncle with the knife, and his uncle fired a single gunshot, according to the report. The uncle lost track of the gun during a subsequent struggle and ultimately ran inside a bedroom as Reed continued to threaten him and pulled on the doorknob.
While Reed was pulling the door open, his uncle grabbed another gun and fired multiple times as Reed entered the bedroom, the report states. Reed was shot once in the back and twice in the groin and was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital.
The uncle told police he didn’t want to press criminal charges but noted that Reed needed mental health treatment, according to the records. Reed’s grandmother said he had “mental problems but does not want to get checked out.”

Dexter Reed tried to stab his own uncle, and wouldn’t stop even after his uncle grabbed a gun. This is the guy whose death has become a cause célèbre for “activist” types in Chicago. It takes a special kind of crazy to think that way, to be so obsessed with race that you want to basically shut down the police department over the death of a dangerous lunatic.

Max Azzarello: ‘Just Another American Driven Insane by the Past Few Years’

Posted on | April 20, 2024 | Comments Off on Max Azzarello: ‘Just Another American Driven Insane by the Past Few Years’

Start a f**king revolution!
Start a f**king revolution!
Start a f**king revolution!
You’ve got nothing to lose!
— Max Azzarello, January 10, 2024
(sung to “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”)

Well, Max, maybe you “had nothing to lose,” before you set yourself on fire outside the Trump trial in New York City, but the rest of us generally do have something to lose. We have our sanity, for example, and we’re not going to risk that by running down the rathole of paranoia that led you to believe we’re threatened by “an apocalyptic fascist world coup.”

Many thanks to Sasha Stone for doing a “deep dive on Azzarello” and supplying the summary quote in the headline. Sasha’s main point is that Azzarello is not some kind of “right-wing extremist,” but is in fact the polar opposite. He was a “Bernie Bro,” who sported an “Eat the Rich” T-shirt to express his support for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign. If you read his “manifesto,” you’ll see that a lot of his rhetoric is about Bill and HIllary Clinton being essentially the same as Republicans, so that, in his words, “the Democrat vs. Republican division has been entirely manufactured,” like fake villains in pro wrestling.

This is a common theme of extremists, both left and right, that the two-party system is essentially phony, that leaders of both parties are “sold out” to the same set of wealthy corporate donors. This extremist claim is persuasive because . . . Well, it’s basically true. Anyone with two eyes and a brain can see how the Clintons have gotten rich from politics while claiming to represent the interests of “working families.” And any Republican could point to figures on our side of the aisle (e.g., Mitch McConnell) who seem to care more about their corporate donors than they do about the voters who elected them. But however corrupt and phony our leaders may be, we do not surrender to despair.

Despair is the essence of the kind of radicalism that leads people to engage in suicidal gestures (Azzarello died late Friday night). And despite my general cynicism about politics, I consider it my duty to remain hopeful, never forgetting these words:

“The truth is this: The march of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient; the work of progress so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope.”
— Robert E. Lee, 1870

Think about what Lee had lived through, and the discouraging situation of the South in the aftermath of the Civil War. Contemplate the contrast between that desolate time and our own era of widespread affluence and opportunity, then perhaps you can try to explain why we should feel hopeless now, but don’t expect to persuade me.

You know, I hear a lot about how bad young people have it nowadays, but when I look at my own kids, they’re doing fine. What was Max Azzarello’s problem, other than his enthusiasm for “revolution”? He was 37 years old and got his undergraduate degree in anthropology and public policy from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2009, then got a master’s degree in city and regional planning in Rutgers University in New Jersey in 2012. UNC-Chapel Hill is rather prestigious — it requires a high SAT and top grades for admission — and Azzarello should have had very nice career prospects, but something went wrong:

Associates of Azzarello told The Daily Beast that he’d “gone a little haywire” in recent years, with his posts to Facebook growing more and more unhinged.
“[He is] a very personable guy, not an idiot when you’re sitting around talking with him, but over the course of the last few years he’s become more and more involved with the thought process that everything is a conspiracy against the common person,” his former landlord, Larry Altman, told The Daily Beast. “Authority is not doing anything to help you.”
Despite him showing signs of going off the rails, Altman added that Azzarello gave no indication he might do something as radical as setting himself ablaze.
“I would find it difficult to believe he was burning himself because he didn’t like Trump,” Altman said. “He might be burning himself because he doesn’t like authority in general and maybe he was feeling the trial was a show trial .. I don’t know. I can’t even imagine him going that far.”
“He has been unwell,” said one family friend, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the situation. They said Azzarello was living in St. Augustine and working as a consultant but previously lived in New York. “He was very intelligent and a very strong-willed person who was extremely kind. He was a kind guy. He had a big heart. He just battled with some mental illness.”

“Some mental illness,” no doubt similar to the insanity that inspired Jew-hater Aaron Bushnell to self-immolate in February, or that inspired James Hodgkinson to open fire on Republicans practicing for the annual congressional baseball game in 2017. It is not politics, per se, that drives these people crazy, but rather the despair caused by their inability to bring about whatever idiotic “ideal” they’re obsessed with. They believe themselves to be “on the right side of history,” and see the world going in what they consider to be the wrong direction, and become frustrated by their own powerlessness. They aspire to be important, to achieve some kind of historical notoriety, and thus feel compelled to do something — a symbolic gesture — that will attract widespread attention.

Let’s face it, dear reader: The whole world has gone crazy, except for me and you, and I’m not too sure about you. All things considered, few of my friends expected me to become The Last Sane Man in America, but nevertheless, here I am, clinging tightly to reality, while watching everybody else go spiraling off into craziness. The key to staying sane amid the pervasive lunacy is to ignore politics as much as possible. The endless drama of the 24/7 news cycle, piped into your brain via cable TV and social media, is a formula for psychosis. Turn off the TV, find a hobby, something to distract yourself from the Permanent Crisis, and also, while you’re at it, maybe hit a blogger’s tip jar once in a while, so that I can buy some fireworks. There’s nothing wrong with me that can’t be cured by buying a few cases of fireworks and fusing together a big aerial bombardment for the Fourth of July. But I digress . . .

Have I mentioned lately that Crazy People Are Dangerous? That’s pretty important to remember, although perhaps nothing is more important than the Five Most Important Words in the English Language:

Crazy People Are Dangerous (and Pennsylvania Democrats Are Crazy)

Posted on | April 18, 2024 | Comments Off on Crazy People Are Dangerous (and Pennsylvania Democrats Are Crazy)

Kevin Boyle has a master’s degree from Harvard University. He’s also a mentally ill criminal from Philadelphia who is currently a Democrat serving in the Pennsylvania legislature:

A Pennsylvania Democrat providing a critical vote for his party in the state House is on the lam after allegedly violating a protective order related to abuse, authorities told The Post.
Philadelphia police issued a warrant for state Rep. Kevin Boyle on Tuesday after the 44-year-old Democrat, who has struggled with mental health issues but is still on the ballot for a primary election next week, broke the Protection From Abuse Order, a department spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday afternoon.
Democrats control the Pennsylvania House of Representatives by a razor-thin 102-101 majority, meaning his votes in absentia allow the party to pass legislation for the time being.
“We tried to address this situation this morning by asking that Mr. Boyle be placed on leave,” Republican caucus leader Rep. Bryan Cutler (Lancaster) said. “The Democrats are insisting that not only he’s not on leave, but he is in fact eligible to vote.”
“You’ve got an individual who has an arrest warrant out who is either a fugitive from justice and waiting to be processed, or they are in communication with him about his votes and therefore they are harboring him and should communicate that to law enforcement,” he added.
The Philadelphia congressman had his security access to the state Capitol in Harrisburg revoked earlier this year following a bizarre and drunken outburst in which he harassed patrons at a bar in February.
That “ghost vote” even enabled state House Democrats to vote on Boyle’s behalf Wednesday for a motion allowing him to continue doing so.
Boyle was also arrested two years ago for breaking a protection from abuse order filed by his now-ex-wife, but those charges were later dropped and in 2022 he wrote to his constituents about having suffered a psychotic episode.
He was later treated at a mental rehabilitation center, with his older brother, US Rep. Brendan Boyle, saying in a statement that his brother had “made a full recovery” before plunging back into the abyss of his illness.
The situation has been a “nightmare” for the Boyle family, he told the Philadelphia Inquirer on Wednesday.
“Kevin’s family, close friends, and several colleagues have done everything possible to get him to enter into treatment, but we have been frustrated by a system that gives little power to the loved ones of an adult with a serious mental health condition,” he said.
“For the following two years he was completely healthy and exhibited no symptoms whatsoever,” he added.
“He was thriving at work, won reelection overwhelmingly and rose to become the chairman of an important state legislative committee. We genuinely believed his mental health issue was in the past.”

But he’s still a Philadelphia Democrat, correct? Have you been paying attention to Philadelphia lately? No sane person would live in that miserable crime-ridden city, so how can his brother say that Boyle has “exhibited no symptoms whatsoever”? Did I mention Joe Biden got 81% of the vote in Philadelphia? My advice is just build a wall around Philadelphia and call it the State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

Let’s Play ‘Spot the Missing Word’

Alameda County District Attorney
Pamela Price to face recall vote

Alameda County DA Pamela Price

— KGO-TV (ABC)

Recall effort against Alameda DA Pamela Price secures enough valid signatures for election
— KPIX-TV (CBS)

What do you think these three stories by the major network affiliates in the San Francisco Bay area have in common? Let’s see . . .

CTRL+F “Democrat” = 0 results

CTRL+F “Soros” = 0 results

So these three news organizations did not think it important to inform their audience that the embattled district attorney is a Democrat, nor that her campaign was funded by George Soros. These facts are not insignificant, nor is their omission from major media news coverage accidental. Over the past eight years, Soros has directed millions of dollars to “criminal justice reform” projects, including campaign contributions to left-wing Democratic candidates for local district attorney offices: “Soros has funded, directly or indirectly, over 75 district attorney races across the country since 2016.” The current woes of cities like Oakland are a direct consequence of this activist agenda.

Soros has also funded numerous media projects, which goes a long way toward explaining why the media avoid mentioning Soros, except to accuse conservatives of “conspiracy theories” when we insist on pointing out his influence. But speaking of conspiracy theories, do you know what other district attorney was funded by George Soros? Alvin Bragg, the guy who is currently got Donald Trump on trial in New York for an utterly bogus charge. And in 90% of their coverage, the major networks never even mention that Bragg is a Democrat. Just a coincidence . . .

FMJRA 2.0: A Winning Week

SOTD
Much to my surprise, my Senators went to Philadelphia and swept the Phillies, but then went down to Baltimore and lost two of three. Well, 4-2 is better than nothing. Still, we’re tied with the Twins at the bottom of our division with an 11-16 record 7 1/2 games behind Pete’s Brewers, and we’re heading for Wrigley to face the 9-15 Cubs.
I put in eleven hours beating on peoples’ taxes today, so Rule 5 Sunday is going to be Rule 5 Monday. Or I might just postpone it until next week and do a double scoop. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow night.
