Hate Speech is Free Speech. SCOTUS Flips the finger at Antifa.

But no matter how the point is phrased,
its unmistakable thrust is this: The Government has an
interest in preventing speech expressing ideas that offend.
And, as we have explained, that idea strikes at the heart
of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the
basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or
any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast
of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the
freedom to express “the thought that we hate.” United
States v. Schwimmer,”

Matal v. Tam 2017

Of course the Snowflakes and Lords of The Flies will continue their chant and do whatever they can to suppress Free Speech.  Unfortunately they never had (and now even less) a legal floor to stand on.

Now, if we could only get the FBI to start getting on these assholes for violation of Civil rights instead of wasting time to see if some Russian spammer sent a trojan horse to some idjit in the Clinton campaign…

Just quit with the Victim Blaming crap.

In a discussion about the case of Philando Castile in Facebook, I happened to mention that in my opinion, both sides made mistakes that led to the death of Castile. It was on response to the bullshit that now is riding too many circles that Castile did nothing wrong other than being black with a gun who fell victim to the prejudice of a racist cop, that the cop is Hispanic somehow was failed to mention.  Liberal guy ignores the assesment and pulls out a tired old “Get Out Of Responsibility” card.

This was my reply:

So, what you are saying is that once a tag of “victim’ has been attached to an individual, he or she ceases to have any responsibility for things he/she might have done in that case?

Victim Blaming is a pernicious concept. It is basically intellectual laziness and intellectual dishonesty waved as a badge of false honor. The refusal to acknowledge that certain behaviors could have been different or better decision making was wrong just because somehow it does not conform to chosen politics is asinine. With tragic events like the Castile killing, we should strive to figure out what was done by all parties and come up with way to fix them so we reduce the probability of deaths in the future.

Yell “FUCK DA POLICE!” and close your mind to fix things achieves nothing more than adding more corpses to the pile. Then again, there are some groups that love nothing more than corpses being piled up for both political and fundraising reasons.

And that is all I have to say about Victim Blaming.


PS: However, the best (or stupidest) post was done by a fellow Liberal of the Victim Blaming guy. Kinda tells you how much info he got on the Castile case, from what sources and how much her processed.

Inside the asylum

I watched episode of Vice that covered the protests at Evergreen State and I just had to make a quick post about it.

Watch the preview:

Call me prejudiced, but every single one of those kids interviewed on the side of the protesters was a freak show.

The hair colors, very visible tattoos, face piercings and makeup, the finger snapping instead of clapping; it all add up to make each one of those kids an unemployable disaster.  Even if they majored in something useful.

 

It’s like the coloration of poison dart frogs.

It screams “I’m a toxic death monster, don’t interact we me at all.”

One video that covers so much.

Take your time and watch it all:

Milwaukee police on Saturday identified the 72-year-old man who died in a fire at a north-side rooming house on Friday as Willie O. Greer. Police are investigating the incident as an arson and homicide and are seeking a female suspect. Witnesses said a woman smashed several windows of the house near W. Wright and N. 12th Street, poured what appeared to be gasoline inside and set it on fire around 7:30 p.m. Friday.When firefighters arrived at the scene, the first floor fully engulfed in flames. Once inside the burning house, emergency responders found the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene. A Facebook Live video posted on Friday, which has since been deleted, corroborates the witness accounts. It also shows some of the witnesses rushing to try to help the man trapped in the burning house. One witness said the woman asked them for a lighter to ignite the fire, but they refused.

This is why arson is considered a Forcible Felony in Florida which allows you to used deadly force to stop it. If my memory serves right, out of the top 5 Mass Killings in the USA, fire was the tool of choice in at least three with explosives being the second. Guns still comes a distant third (9/11 deaths not included)

One gallon of gasoline was the weapon. As of this morning, the average price of gas in Milwaukee was $2.15, no background checks, no laws against felons or mentally handicapped to buy gas. In less than thirty seconds, that particular room was totally engulfed and the next room was already in flames. No assault weapon and no amount of “High Capacity Magazine Clips” could cause that much damage and certainly not in such a short time.

People was still laughing it off and nobody can be heard demanding a call to 911. Somebody else jumps out of a window and it is only them the magnitude of what is going on starts to sink in, but still you can’t hear anybody asking for rescue. By the first minute is when it sinks in that maybe something has to be done to stop the fire and some ask for a water hose, but I think by them it was too late, at least for the first floor. People know that there is somebody else on that apartment and now is when it strikes that maybe he needs rescue. They start taking down the front door one minute and twenty-five seconds after the fire was started, but by then it was too late.

Here is video of the house destroyed by the fire with some footage of the fire being fought.

What do we get from all this: Have a plan and that includes how to escape a fire in your home. Using this video as reference, that whole place was condemned in less than a minute and you might be lucky if you have that much. And no, your Home Depot fire extinguisher is not gonna stop a gallon of gas.

You cannot depend on anybody, neighbors included. You are on your own. Your neighbors are not trained and in some cases are not capable of absorbing and processing the information. Their OODA loop is at best a lower case “u” with no crayons available to complete the circle.

Hopefully you have learned that logical thinking does not work on some people or simply they do not care about consequences to others. The respect you have for life, your understanding that life is sacred and not to be risked or wasted simply is not an issue for some people.  If you die, if somebody dies, they simply do not give a shit and the only measure of care for the loss of that life is if they get punished by society for it, not because their morality injects a dose of remorse in their heads as they have none.

And last, don’t forget they live among us and you can’t tell if they are sane or they are psychopaths till it is too late and your home is becoming a kamado grill.
