This happened over Super Bowl weekend, so I heard nothing about it until today.

Lakewood Church shooting: AR-15 had ‘Palestine’ sticker, antisemitic writings recovered, police say

A sticker saying “Palestine” was on the AR-15 rifle a woman used to open fire at celebrity pastor Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston, injuring two, including her son, according to police

Some antisemitic writings have been recovered, but a motive behind the Sunday afternoon shooting has not been determined, according to police.

“We do believe that there was a familial dispute that has taken place between her ex-husband and her ex-husband’s family,” some of whom are Jewish, police said.

Right…

Because family disputes with an ex-husband who has some Jewish family naturally precipitates antisemitic writings and a support for Palestine in the middle of a resurgence of antisemitism following the worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust.

I’m calling bullshit.

The suspect, 36-year-old Genesse Ivonne Moreno, entered the church with her 7-year-old son, and she may have pointed her weapon at a security officer to force her way into the church, police said.

Moreno opened fire with the AR-15 at 1:55 p.m., police said.

Two off-duty officers fired back, striking the suspect, police said. She was pronounced dead at 2:07 p.m., police said.

Doug Williams, special agent in charge of the FBI Houston field office, stressed that the “number of casualties and victims would have been much higher” without the off-duty officers’ “heroic” actions.

That was a 12 minute response time.

How much longer would it have been for the police to respond from a 9-11 call?

The FBI special agent is absolutely right, two armed people in the church saved lives.

Shit is getting crazy out there.

Antisemitism is off the charts and the Left is becoming more violent by the day.

Everywhere our families congregate, we should be armed to stop things like this as quickly as possible.

I love stealing stuff from Greg Ellifritz. He made a point in Facebook about somebody who has not travelled with guns in a decade gets contradictory. Oh well, I trust the guy who has flown with more guns than probably even Special Forces in military trips.

I just saw this in my local rag and thought about J. Kb’s post The trouble with tipping.

I think we just ought to eliminate the Tipping culture altogether. Or in the above case, give me more tipping options like zero zero one % if the service was pure shit. I have been that asshole who left a penny as tip because the service was subpar.

All in good fun:

At the heels of an attempted mass casualty event in the mega church in Texas by a gender-fluid antisemite Salvadoran, I present you the latest perversion against children in Spain.

Via Radio Genoa:

The petition for writ of certiorari before judgement has been filed.

The state has until March 13, 2024, to respond. We should see a spat of the regular suspects chiming in over the next 3 weeks on why this case should not be heard by the Supreme Court.

This petition was submitted to Chief Justice Roberts.

We want to see when it is distributed to conference.

There is some interesting timing going on. Oral arguments are calendared for 2024/03/20, 7 days after the response is due.

GROUP ROBS WOMAN IN JEFFERSON PARK, RETURNS TO BEAT HER AFTER NO ONE STOPS TO HELP: VIDEO

It happened on Jan. 29 around 4:30 a.m. on West Lawrence Avenue near Long Avenue in the Jefferson Park neighborhood.

Within a few strides, a dark sedan screeched along the sidewalk, and four people bailed out and surrounded her.

Then, the four people, who police said were armed with weapons, shoved, manhandled and stripped the 35-year-old woman of her personal property.

For 120 seconds, they pushed and patted down the young woman, riffling her pockets and bags she had been carrying.

They piled back in the sedan and speed off, leaving the woman collecting herself and whatever they left on the ground.

Then, as a city bus approached, the woman frantically tried to flag it down. The bus never so much as paused.

Still, it gets worse. What appears to be the very same car of armed offenders returned for a replay.

Three offenders leapt out and surrounded her for a second time, this time delivering a blow to her head and another 60 seconds of physical intimidation.

Her panicked waves for help were ignored by two more passing drivers.

Why did they attack her again?

Because these are savages and they enjoyed hurting a defenseless woman.

Why did other people, including a municipal bus driver, ignore her?

Ask the ghost of Kitty Genovese.

The lesson, however, is clear.

You are on your own.

Nobody is going to help you.

Even if you give up everything of monetary value, these savages will still hurt you for fun.

Be prepared to defend yourself.
