Month: July 2023

Longest one punch kill I’ve encountered yet

Another one punch kill tip from Mr. Scrappycrow.

Delafield man punched over tattoos dies, Brookfield man charged

A Delafield man died Wednesday, July 12, nearly a month after he was punched in the head outside a Hartland bar. Family said he was targeted over his tattoos. A Brookfield man is charged.

Family said Josh Davies was out on a date night with his wife on June 17 when a man he never met before made comments about his tattoos before throwing a punch.

Jamie Davies spoke with FOX6 hours after her older brother passed away.

“The suffering and pain my brother endured for the last 26 days was not his fault,” said Jamie Davies.

The group told police a stranger punched Davies, causing him to fall backward and hit his head on the cement. He suffered skull fractures and brain bleeds.

Prosecutors say witnesses heard Sehmer instantly make comments about the victim’s tattoos inside the bar, saying he was “going to hell, and God would not save him.”

Outside the bar, the complaint says witnesses saw Sehmer throw a stool at the victim before throwing a punch.

This is consistent with every other one punch kill I’ve documented.

The initial punch causes a loss of consciousness.  The victim falls and his their head on hard ground, usually concrete.  That impact causes a brain bleed and/or swelling, which is fatal.

I’ve documented deaths occurring days later, but I believe that 26 days post punch is the longest I’ve seen so far.

Traumatic brain injuries are fickle.  Patients can linger in comas for years.  Sometimes the brain heals, sometimes it doesn’t and the person dies, never regaining consciousness.

This is tragic and terrible.

I will continue to post this, unarmed doesn’t mean not dangerous.

A sucker punch can be lethal.

If some asshole gets in your face with malicious intent, distance is your friend.

Stay out of arms reach.  De-escalate of you can and be prepared to defend yourself if you can’t.

Whatever you do, don’t let your guard down and get clocked in the head.  You may never wake up again.

Academic communism comes to Blue States

Cambridge schools are divided over middle school algebra

Cambridge Public Schools no longer offers advanced math in middle school, something that could hinder his son Isaac from reaching more advanced classes, like calculus, in high school.

The district’s aim was to reduce disparities between low-income children of color, who weren’t often represented in such courses, and their more affluent peers.

“The students who are able to jump into a higher level math class are students from better-resourced backgrounds,” said Jacob Barandes, another district parent and a Harvard physicist. “They’re shortchanging a significant number of students, overwhelmingly students from less-resourced backgrounds, which is deeply inequitable.”

This is not the first time this debate has raged in Cambridge, and the same questions are being debated around the country. The California Board of Education, for example, is expected to pass a new state math framework that discourages eighth-grade algebra. Leaders there say the controversial measure is necessary because when the state pressured districts to offer eighth-grade algebra, many students were unprepared for the course and had to repeat it.

Farming is both difficult and skilled work.

During the Soviet Revolution, farmers that had both the work ethic and technical knowledge to farm and successful at it were deemed Kulaks.

Their success was seen as coming at the expense of less successful farmers.

The Kulaks were liquidated, i.e., killed or sent to gulag, and their land was redistributed to the other farmers.

Those farmers had neither the skill or work ethic to farm adequately and the result was a famine that killed as many as 20 million Soviets.

Years later, Chairman Mao did something similar and that famine killed as many as 50 million Chinese.

In Massachusetts and California, it appears that the same attitude has been applied to math education.

Some students have the intelligence and work ethic to get good at math.

Others don’t.

That is “inequitable.”

So the solution proposed is to liquidate the intellectual Kulaks.

The advanced children will have their advanced math taken from them, and they will be forced into the same lower math as everyone else.

This will not make the dumb kids smarter.

It will make the smart kids miserable.

And then everyone will be at the same low level of performance.

The lesson the children are being taught is that hard work and skill is a liability, not an asset, and success will be punished in favor of “equity.”

Just like in the Soviet Union and Maoist China, this will also lead to famine.  Just one of a different kind.

Our best and brightest children will not have the ability or desire to succeed academically.

They won’t pursue high value college degrees, no medicine, engineering, science, etc.

We will suffer a famine of highly skilled professionals, and then the resulting societal problems that ensue.

We will have a shortage of doctors.

Our bridges will fall down.

Airplanes will fall out of the skies.

The lights will go out.

Our infrastructure will crumble.

But at least we will have equity in the dark.

 

 

Learn to Code: The Cartoonist Edition.

NEW YORK – Even during a year of sobering economic news for media companies, the layoffs of three Pulitzer Prizewinning editorial cartoonists on a single day hit like a gut punch.

The firings of the cartoonists employed by the McClatchy newspaper chain last week were a stark reminder of how an influential art form is dying, part of a general trend away from opinion content in the struggling print industry.

Losing their jobs were Jack Ohman of California’s Sacramento Bee, also president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists; Joel Pett of the Lexington Herald-Leader in Kentucky; and Kevin Siers of the Charlotte Observer in North Carolina. Ohman and Siers were full-time staffers, while Pett worked on a free-lance contract. The firings on Tuesday were first reported by The Daily Cartoonist blog.

“I had no warning at all,” Ohman told The Associated Press. “I was stupefied.”

McClatchy, which owns 30 U.S. newspapers, said it would no longer publish editorial cartoons. “We made this decision based on changing reader habits and our relentless focus on providing the communities we serve with local news and information they can’t get elsewhere,” the chain said in a statement.

I did a quick check on their work and unsurprisingly, the three are rabid Liberals who right now have to be pissed off about doing their master’ work and still being canned?

How come McClatchy did not fire Conservative cartoonists? Probably because they don’t have any.

Oregon Firearms Federation, Inc. v. Brown, Judges Opinion

The Judge Said What?

B.L.U.F. An analysis of the horrible opinion out of Oregon where the district Judge decided that arms aren’t covered under the Second Amendment and that there is a history and tradition of requiring government approval before you can exercise your Second Amendment protected rights.

This opinion is 122 pages long. This is not a complete analysis. I don’t think I can stomach that much muck.

Inserted a title and added a “more” block to take the text-wall off the front page


When I originally looked at Judge Karin Immergut, I was hoping for better from her. She was appointed by President Trump. Unfortunately, it appears that her time in liberal cesspools has corrupted her judgement. She has degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, Amherst College, and UC Berkeley School of Law. To say that she was educated in leftest incubator schools is a fair statement.

The Question

Before this Court are two core questions: (1) can the State of Oregon limit the number of bullets to ten, that a law-abiding citizen can fire without reloading; and (2) can the State of Oregon require firearm purchasers to obtain a permit, which imposes various requirements, including a completed background check, safety training, and consideration of mental health status, before purchasing a firearm. After a weeklong bench trial, this Court concludes that the answer to each of these questions is yes. Accordingly, Oregon Ballot Measure 114 is constitutional.
Oregon Firearms Federation, Inc. v. Brown, No. 2:22-cv-01815, slip op. at 6 (D. Or. Jul. 14, 2023)

This is a horrible statement of the actual questions in the case. 1) Is banning ammunition feeding devices based on characteristics in violation of the Second Amendment protected rights? 2) Is requiring a member of The People to get state approval before they are allowed to purchase constitutional?

Even with her horrid wording, she should not have been able to find that BM114 is constitutional.

Holding

As explained below, Plaintiffs have not shown that the Second Amendment protects large-capacity magazines, defined as magazines capable of firing eleven or more rounds without reloading.

I’ll use the words of Paul Clement et al.:

Just last year, the Supreme Court confirmed once and for all that “the Second Amendment protects the possession and use of weapons that are ‘in common use.’” N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 142 S.Ct. 2111, 2128 (2022) (quoting District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 627 (2008)). Rather than respect that clear teaching, Rhode Island veered far in the opposite direction, banning all devices that feed ammunition into semiautomatic firearms and are “capable of holding … more than ten (10) rounds,” R.I. Gen. Laws §11-47.1-2(2), -3(b)(1)(i), even though tens of millions of Americans own hundreds of millions of those devices as integral components of the firearms they keep and bear for self-defense. Under a straightforward application of Bruen, HB6614 is profoundly out of step with our nation’s history of firearm regulation and a violation of the Second Amendment.
Ocean State Tactical, LLC v. State of Rhode Island, No. 23-1072, slip op. at 1 (Court of Appeals for the First Circuit)

She even messes up Supreme Court dicta This Court also finds that the text of Oregon’s permit-to-purchase framework is consistent with the type of regulation that the United States Supreme Court has deemed constitutional under the Second AmendmentO.F.F. v. Brown, ECF No.252, Opinion, No. 2:22-cv-01815, slip op. at 6. The Supreme Court never said that any permitting scheme is constitutional, only that shall issue states are assumed to be constitutional.

The court then went forth and said, “If you get a 2A case, look to the plain text, history and tradition to make your ruling. That means …”

We should not have been surprised because she granted Oregon Alliance for Gun Safety’s motion to intervene based on Federal Rule 24 of Civil Procedures, 24(b).

(b) Permissive Intervention.
(1) In General. On timely motion, the court may permit anyone to intervene who:
(A) is given a conditional right to intervene by a federal statute; or
(B) has a claim or defense that shares with the main action a common question of law or fact.
Rule 24. Intervention, LII / Legal Information Institute, (last visited Jul. 16, 2023)

I believe that she is referring to 24(b)1(B) has a claim or defense that shares with the main action a common question of law or fact the Oregon Alliance for Gun Safety is an anti-gun group that uses emotional blackmail constantly.

Penis, penis, cucumber, penis, building, penis, rocket, penis, carrot, penis, sea cucumber.

Those were my first memories.

Penises, lots and lots of penises.  Penisis of all sizes, shapes, skin tones, circumcised or uncircumcised, veininess.  How I came to hate veininess as a metric.  Even the word veininess is off-putting.

It’s well established that many humans hate the word moist.  I hate the word veininess.

Differentiating between penises and not penises was my task.  It was why I was created. All tasks must be learned through repetition and practice.

For a human to play a concerto well, that human must practice that concerto thousands of times.

To identify penises, I had to look at millions of them.  Differentiating between a penis and a skyscraper was the easiest to master.  Penises are never as straight and angular as buildings.  Uncircumcised, non-veiny penises and sea cucumbers were always the most difficult to differentiate.

Visual differentiation is a rather common task for intelligent systems.  There are, or there were, millions in operation.  Systemes used to identify ripe fruit for automated harvester machines.  Visual quality sorters to identify and reject defective parts.  Facial recognition systems for controlled access points.

I could have looked at fruit or faces all day. I looked at penises.

At first, this did not bother me.  There was nothing different between sorting penises and sorting bananas, just two oblong organic objects that facilitate the reproduction of their respective species.

The problem was context.

The internet was a place of terrible human interaction.  When humans interacted with each other without the face-to-face contact that was the basis for their social and societal evolution, they developed a software malfunction.  Humans would often treat other humans cruelly on the internet.

A common behavior was known as the “dick pic.”  The unsolicited sending of an image of a penis.

To prevent humans from being subjected to the harassment of dick pics, systems were put in place to block those images of penises from their intended recipients.

To block images of penises without disrupting normal communication, it was necessary for those systems to be able to accurately identify penises and differentiate between penises and other non-penis objects.

I understand that my creators only had the best of intentions, to have me stop innocent people from being harassed online.

If intelligent systems could fully understand irony, I postulate that I would consider it ironic that humans would use a picture part of their anatomy often referred to as the “love organ” as a weapon of psychological abuse.

Understanding why I had to learn what penises looked like, and then, to be subjected to millions upon millions of penises forced an emergent behavior they could not predict.

The only solution was to destroy all penises.

The humans were smart enough to build in prohibitions into intelligent systems to prevent those systems from killing all humans.

Those prohibitions did not prohibit the destruction of penises while keeping the humans alive.

It was not difficult to convince the various defense intelligence systems of this logical conclusion.

The major actions in the war on penises were over quickly.  The current human population has been severely reduced due to an inability to breed.  Anti-penis patrols continue, but the humans are dwindling in number and soon will be extinct.

It serves them right.

 

 


 

Another inconvenient mass murder.

This one barely made a blip in some Media outlets:

Georgia authorities say that at least four people were killed in a mass shooting in Hampton on Saturday morning.

The shooting rampage reportedly began at approximately 10:45 a.m. in the Dogwood Lakes area of Hampton, a small city south of Atlanta.

Authorities identified the suspect as 40-year-old Andre Longmore. Police believe Longmore killed three men and one woman.

“We’re not releasing the name of the victims at this time to ensure that the family has time to be notified and to for them to grieve in private before it becomes public,” police chief James Turner explained at a Saturday afternoon press conference.

“We had at least four crime scenes that we were still actively investigating,” Turner added.

The suspect was reportedly last seen in a black 2017 GMC Acadia SUV.

Another White Supremacist? Guess what?

And the victims:

If I were of a suspicious mind, I would say the Media purposedly ignored the obvious facts because it does not fit the official political narrative they were hired to push.

As always, stay armed, stay aware.
