That’s a lot of blood (warning)
Las Crusas, New Mexico, police officer Jonah Hernandez was stabbed to death.
It was captured on his body cam.
That footage has been released.

It took about 40 seconds for him to die.
I couldn’t find any details of his injuries, but at the 57 second mark you can see a huge spray of blood. It looks like he was probably stabbed in the neck.
I don’t post this for entertainment, I post this for educational purposes.
From the time the vagrants rushed him to when officer Hernandez was down was about four seconds.
A knife is an extremely dangerous weapon.
People can close distance fast.
At close range, a man with a knife can have you bleeding out and die before you can think avoid getting your gun out to stop him.
Do not, under any circumstances, underestimate a man armed with just a knife.
Back to the days of Death Wish
Let’s check in on New York City.
The lasting toll of violence on New York City’s subway
More people have been murdered in New York City’s subways since the start of 2020 than in the preceding 15 years — a grim statistic driven by an alarming start to the year in the mass transit system.
The NYPD has recorded 32 murders in subway trains and stations since the start of 2020, which includes three fatal shootings over the last six weeks. There were 31 murders recorded in the system from 2005 to 2019, according to NYPD data
I guess the mass exodus of police and the lack of prosecution of criminals really makes the world a better, safer place.
For criminals that is.
For decent citizens, most certainly not.
The last time a decent citizen has the temerity to defend himself and other bystanders from a criminal on the subway, NYC made him the bad guy and turned the criminal into a martyr.
I’d say that it’s time for good New Yorkers to leave, but then they come here, drive up the cost of living, and ruin everything.
Just build the way around NYC and let them sort it out on their own.
The police and media are covering up antisemitic violence
First, more information from the Pogrom on the Berkeley campus.
A Jewish UC Berkeley student, who requested anonymity, told the Journal in a phone interview that she was choked by pro-Palestinian protesters Monday evening. The protestors were trying to shut down an event featuring a former Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldier as a speaker.
The event, “Israel at War: Combat the Lies” and organized by Bears for Israel (BFI), Students Supporting Israel at Berkeley (SSIB) and Tikvah, was set to feature former Israel Defense Force (IDF) soldier Ran Bar-Yoshafat speaking before being canceled due to the pro-Palestinian protest.
“Minutes before the event was to start, a crowd of some 200 protesters began to surround the building,” University Chancellor Carol Christ and Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Benjamin Hermalin said in a message to the campus community on Tuesday afternoon. “Doors were broken open and the protesters gained unauthorized entry to the building. The event was canceled, and the building was evacuated to protect the speaker and members of the audience.”
The student and her group of friends were escorted inside into Zellerbach; the student thought that the security around the event was tight enough to prevent any of the protesters from storming into the building.
Eventually, a police officer pushed all of the protesters and the student outside; the student broke free from the protesters and “ran away.” “People were crying left and right. Everyone was scared,” the student said. She also observed the protesters chanting, “We won! We won! We won!” when the event was ultimately canceled; Bar-Yoshafat and the Jewish students inside were escorted safely out of the building through underground tunnels.
There is video and pictures.

That, shockingly, isn’t the worst news out of California this week.
California dentist fatally shot at work, ‘disgruntled’ ex-customer arrested
A dentist is dead and two others are wounded after a man, believed to be a “disgruntled former patient,” allegedly opened fire in a southern California dentist’s office last week.
Police in El Cajon, about 15 miles east of San Diego, were called to Smile Plus Dentistry and Orthodontics shortly after 4 p.m. Thursday for an active shooting.
When officers arrived, they found three victims, El Cajon police explained. One of those victims, later identified as 28-year-old Benjamin Ariel Harouni by the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office, was pronounced dead at the scene from apparent gunshot injuries to the body.
The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Mohammed Abdulkareem, was believed to be a “disgruntled former customer” of the dental office, authorities said. However, El Cajon Police said the relationship between the victims and Adbulkareem is unclear as of Friday.
Abdulkareem allegedly left the scene of the shooting and was on the run for several hours until police located him as well as the U-Haul pickup truck he was believed to be driving in the Balboa Park area. Police said they found a loaded handgun and several loaded magazines on him, which records show were legally purchased by Abdulkareem just two weeks before the shooting.
What the local news has left out, because the national news hasn’t touched this story, is that Dr. Benjamin Harouni is a member of the Iranian-Jewish community that emigrated to the US.
A Jewish dentist is murdered in a premeditated way by a Muslim client, who went through the laborious process of obtaining a handgun in California to do the shooting, and the police call him “disgruntled.”
The increase on violence against Jews is horrific and the police and media are doing little of nothing to stop it or report on it.
The only option is to be armed and vigilant.
You are your first and last line of defense, nobody is coming to save you.
Why are you not carrying a gun in synagogue yet?
A group of "pro Palestinians" entered a synagogue in Miami to harass Jews, including elderly women who were praying.
The behavior of these individuals is absolutely insane.#PalestinianAntisemitism pic.twitter.com/Ah6cTWqNoq

I know Temple Emanuel in Miami Beach.
I’ve worshiped there.
I’ve catered food there.
It is one of the most beautiful synagogues in the country.
The Jew-hating Palestinian activists are going into synagogues to harass Jews.
Soon, they will go in to harm Jews.
I understand the point the Rabbi is trying to make, that these people are engaged in mid-level violence and he doesn’t want his congregants to be caught on camera hitting Palestinian protesters.
But you know my opinion on mid-level violence, and how the response should be extreme violence. These people should leave that synagogue without teeth. Then they won’t come back.
NY congressional candidate tells us how he really feels
This is Nate McMurrhy, he’s running for congress in New York.
This is how he feels about the Second Amendment.
See, you, the constituent, are a dumbass and you’re a psycho because you have a personal arsenal in your basement and he’s going to infringe on it.
The military, i.e., the well regulated militia according to him, can keep their assault rifles. Presumably to use against you and your private arsenal.
When a Democrat tells you that you’re a dumbass and he’s going to infringe upon you, believing him.
The sad part is that this is a winning message in New York.
