Iranian Immigrant Raped in Houston

Posted on | March 13, 2017 | Comments Off on Iranian Immigrant Raped in Houston

 

Bryce Scott, 42, had recently been released from federal prison. Police say he attacked a woman who lived in his apartment complex:

The 911 phone call that led police to a westside apartment complex came from a 12-year-old girl. Investigators say around 4:00 a.m. [March 2], the girl told dispatchers that her mother was being raped by a neighbor who had forced his way into their apartment.
“He forced the victim to undress in front of her children, and then he raped her,” said Sgt. Reginald Porter of the Houston Police Department. “She was able to hand her phone off to one of the kids and told them in Arabic to call the police.”
Sgt. Porter said the woman is an immigrant from Iran who recently moved into the complex.
Police say when they arrived, the suspect ran out of the victim’s apartment naked. He was captured hours later under a nearby truck, still with no clothes on. . . .
The suspect has been identified as 42-year-old Bryce Scott. He lives with his two children and his own mother in an upstairs unit. The victim and her two children live in a downstairs unit.

Scott had four previous felony convictions.

Have any feminists mentioned this violence against women? Have they mentioned the men who gang-raped a 14-year-old mentally impaired girl in Nevada? Have feminists said anything about the criminal accusations against Henry Jose Garcia or Neel Salil Mehta or Douglas Hus-Flores or Kishawn Holmes? Feminists seem to be ignoring an awful lot of violence against women lately. It’s as if there’s a pattern or something . . .

First-Person Plural Pronouns: Steve King and the Problems of ‘Our Civilization’

Posted on | March 13, 2017 | Comments Off on First-Person Plural Pronouns: Steve King and the Problems of ‘Our Civilization’

 

Rep. Steve King is the most influential conservative in Iowa and, because of its first-in-the-nation caucuses, Iowa is one of the most influential states in presidential politics. The road to the White House goes through Iowa and, if you’re a Republican, you want Steve King on your side.

It is therefore important to pay attention to the controversy that arose over the weekend when King expressed support for Geert Wilders, who may become the next prime minister of the Netherlands, riding a wave of backlash against immigration from Muslim countries. The Dutch election is Wednesday and, commenting on anti-Wilders protests by Dutch Muslims, King re-tweeted a pro-Wilders message.

 

 

Judging from the reaction to this sentence — “Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies” — you might have thought King had quoted the infamous neo-Nazi “Fourteen Words” slogan. Yet the Iowa congressman was simply summarizing, within the condensed 140-character confines of a Twitter message, what Mark Steyn has explained at length in his 2006 book America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It. Europe’s demographic decline have enormous consequences for American policy. The flood of Muslim “refugees” into Europe and the wave of Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe are related phenomena, and these problems are in turn related to the very low birth rates among Europeans. How to address these issues as a matter of public policy is a very serious matter, but we cannot solve a problem if the terms of debate are inhibited by a political correctness that regards some facts as “racist.”

What does Steve King mean by “our civilization”? Among other things, this could include representative democracy, limited government, a free economy, the rule of law and the First Amendment. All of these American traditions are indeed imperiled by cultural and demographic trends and, while Mark Steyn did not go so far as to say, “We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies,” this is really the question raised by the open-borders stance of the Left. If you read the Constitution, you find that our Founding Fathers sought to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” Americans today — including the descendants of slaves, and the children and grandchildren of immigrants — are the inheritors of that liberty, and we see today many threats to our liberty. On college campuses, the First Amendment is threatened by radical mobs who attack speakers they disagree with, and our economic freedom is imperiled by a national debt now approaching $20 trillion.

People in Iowa appreciate Steve King for his willingness to speak unpopular truths, and if any Republican thinks his pro-Wilders tweet was pushing a bit far against the politically correct limits of acceptable speech, let them make their case. However, the results of the last presidential election indicate that many Americans are waking up to the realities that King was attempting to describe, which are the same realities that Mark Stein was writing about in America Alone. If Wilders’ allegedly “far right” party wins Wednesday’s election, perhaps this will focus further attention on the seriousness of the larger problems that our decadent elite — in politics, in media, in academia — have tried for so long to conceal from the American people. Screeching accusations of “racism” will not solve these problems, and yet the Left really has nothing else to say, and how long can Americans be expected to play along with this charade?

America’s liberty was founded on behalf of “We the People,” and we must keep looking at that pronoun and asking, “Who are ‘we’?”

Five Charged in Nevada Gang Rape of Mentally Impaired 14-Year-Old Girl

Posted on | March 12, 2017 | 2 Comments

Leby Gomez (left) and Jose Henriquez (right) are charged in rape case.

KSNV-TV reports:

A Las Vegas father and a group of teens are behind bars, accused of gang raping a special education student at Del Sol Academy.
Police have identified the father as 39-year-old Leby Gomez.
Police say two of the teen suspects are Gomez’s sons.
18-year-old Jose Henriquez is also identified as a suspect in the case.
According to detectives, the heinous crimes were a secret until a video of some of the sex acts was passed around to students on campus.
Police say the victim is 14-years-old but has the mental capacity of a seven or eight-year-old.
According to a 14-page arrest report, the girl was taken to a house near Del Sol Academy and told “she wouldn’t get a ride home” unless she did what the teens told her to do.
Police say the teen’s gang raped the girl on three separate days in November.
At one point, Gomez walked in and instead of stopping the assaults, police say, he participated, saying “Keep going.”

More violence against women that feminists won’t notice.

Rule 5 Sunday: Whitewashing The Cyborg

Posted on | March 12, 2017 | 4 Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

This week we turn our attention to Scarlett Johansson and her role in the upcoming live-action version of the very popular Ghost In The Shell anime, set in a world where brain-computer interfaces, and cyborg bodies, are very common. Johansson’s character, based on the anime’s Major Motoko Kusanagi, is a member of Public Security Section 9, and uses a cyborg body as the result of a childhood accident. Inevitably, the usual suspects complained that Paramount and Dreamworks were “whitewashing” Kusanagi, i.e. having a white actress play the role of an Asian. Ironic, considering one of the anime’s themes is how unimportant one’s physical body is – it’s the brain and the mind that matter. So is Johansson a good fit for the role? Examine our appetizer and decide for yourself.

‘Campus Rape Epidemic’ Continues

Posted on | March 10, 2017 | 1 Comment

 

The Daily Mail reports:

A California football player who had already been convicted of rape while he was in high school has been arrested yet again after allegedly raping a 19-year-old woman.
Kishawn Holmes, 21, who was a standout football player and student at Cerritos College near Los Angeles, was taken into custody on suspicion of rape and sexual assault.
The alleged incident occurred last September at the home of his physical therapist.
Sheriff’s Sgt. Marvin Jaramilla said the alleged victim also attended the same college as Holmes and that as a physical therapist the woman has provided services to some of the football players and other athletes at the school.
Holmes has been charged with two counts of forcible rape, according to the criminal complaint.
In 2014 Holmes was convicted of rape by force or fear; two counts of lewd and lascivious acts upon a child under the age of 14; three counts of false imprisonment; and one count of dissuading a witness who was one of the alleged rape victims.
At the time, he was sentenced to a year in jail and spent some time at a juvenile facility.
On the most recent charges, Holmes pleaded not guilty but is being held at North County Correctional Facility in Castaic on $2 million bail based on the incident and his past history.

Readers will recall that feminists recently spent many months decrying an alleged “epidemic” of sexual assault at colleges and universities. There was the so-called “Mattress Girl” protest at Columbia, and the Rolling Stone rape hoax at the University of Virginia, and countless other incidents that feminists cited as proof that 1-in-5 female students were raped at college. When critics offered evidence indicating that this 1-in-5 statistic was such a vast exaggeration as to be an outright lie, feminists accused their critics of being pro-rape — or “rape truthers,” in Amanda Marcotte’s vivid phrase. Meanwhile, male students were filing lawsuits claiming that they had been falsely accused and denied due-process protection in university disciplinary proceedings. K.C. Johnson and Stuart Taylor Jr. examine this phenomenon in their new book, The Campus Rape Frenzy: The Attack on Due Process at America’s Universities. Yet feminist rage about a supposed “rape culture” on college campuses seems to have fizzled out lately, with no explanation.

 

 

 

Oh, wait — that’s right: It was only about politics, wasn’t it? Unlike the frantic mobs of youthful feminists shrieking about “patriarchy” and demanding “trigger warnings,” I’ve lived a long time and observed politics at close range, which tends to make me quite cynical about whatever purported “crisis” the liberal media is hyping. You cannot convince me that, just by random coincidence, the Obama administration decided in early 2014 to appoint a White House Task Force to deal with sexual assault on college campuses. And when it was reported that progressive billionaire George Soros has contributed nearly $250 million to feminist groups since 2000, cynics like me were not the least bit surprised.

Since last November’s election, however, we see that the focus of feminist activism shifted from the “campus rape epidemic” to organizing mass protests against the Trump administration. Does this mean that campus rape has ceased to be a priority for feminists? Go check the Twitter feeds of Jessica Valenti, Laurie Penny, Amanda Marcotte and other prominent feminists and see if you get any sense of concern about the alleged “epidemic” of college girls being sexual assaulted. It’s as if the whole thing instantly evaporated just about the time the networks called Pennsylvania for Trump on Election Night. Meanwhile, in California . . .

 

A [California State University] Channel Islands student charged with raping a fellow student last fall was released from jail Friday morning after posting $100,000 bail.
Jonathan Henry-Walker, 23, was scheduled to appear in Ventura County Superior Court Friday morning on a felony forcible rape charge, but his arraignment was rescheduled to March 24. He was arrested without incident at his home in San Bernardino County on Thursday.
If he is convicted, Henry-Walker could be sentenced to up to eight years in state prison and would be required to register as a sex offender. . . .
Henry-Walker, a transfer student majoring in psychology, is on interim suspension and is not allowed on the Camarillo campus. He was placed on interim suspension in November after three female students reported he had raped them earlier in the fall. Their allegations led to a 3½-month investigation, resulting in the single rape charge. . . .
Henry-Walker, who lived in the dorms, allegedly raped an 18-year-old woman after she attended a party in his room, his arrest warrant says. According to the warrant, Henry-Walker gave her alcohol, and when she told him she didn’t feel well, he said she could lie down on his bed. She closed her eyes, and he allegedly raped her, the document says.
The other alleged rapes occurred in September and October.

Far be it from me to deny this accused student his due-process rights, nor do I forget that he is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Yet feminists spent a couple of years insisting that every college boy who so much as hinted at an interest in heterosexual activity on campus was a potential rapist. “Consent training” became a mandatory part of freshman orientation, and “affirmative consent” laws were imposed, shifting the burden of proof from the accuser to the accused.

Here in 2017, however, when campus rape cases make headlines, we await the feminist reaction and . . . Nothing. Silence. Crickets chirping.

For some reason, feminists haven’t said a word about Jonathan Henry-Walker or Kishawn Holmes. Nor have I noticed feminists commenting on the brutal attack against Priyanka Kumari, or the rape and kidnapping charges against Evan Xavier Little, or Oliver Funes-Machado, who decapitated his own mother, or Henry Jose Garcia who allegedly raped a girl from the time she was 11 until she was 15. All this violence against women, and yet feminists don’t seem to notice these crimes.

It’s almost as if there’s a pattern or something . . .

The three oppressors stood between her and Union Station. Apart from being her older “sisters”, there was no Cinderella resemblance.
“Where do you think you’re going?” snarled Nancy, the oldest, as they closed.
She strode.
“Well?” echoed Barbara, as they closed.
Her fists clenched.
“Answer us!” screamed Dianne.
And she did, with roundhouse pump to the head that took all of them out, and would’ve earned an awed look from a very young Chuck Norris, had he been available.
She stepped over Barbara’s groaning body, and just kept going.
No glass slipper; no Prince Charming; but still: her destiny beckoned.
