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.

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.

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.

I feel inclined to write a dystopian sci-fi story where some well intentioned software engineers teach an AI to recognize dick pics and inadvertently teach it to hate humanity. https://t.co/vlkXcrfuCi

I have a love for beautiful songs with incredibly sad lyrics.

One that hit my list from a few years ago is If I Die Young by The Band Perry.

There is a Country-Rock band that I’ve started enjoying, named Whiskey Meyers.

They did a sort of remake of If I Die Young that hit me hard.

Enjoy.

The radical front of the anti-gun movement is not new to the practice of doxxing gun owners.

A decade ago, a newspaper in New York published the private information of all the NYC Pistol Permit holders in Westchester and Rockland Counties.

Other news outlets have done similar.

From Outdoor Life:

The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, Tenn., published a similar database in 2011. The Roanoke Times published lists of handgun permitees as early as 2007. The New York Times’ occasionally publishes the names of those with New York City concealed carry permits.

Just last year, the Associated Press demanded, and received, the names of the approximately 1.3 million Illinois residents whom the Illinois State Police have deemed “qualified” to own guns.

The bullshit justification that these news outlets use is that it is of public interest for people to know which of their neighbors are a threat.

Except that all of the data shows that people who get gun permits are one of the most law abiding demographics in thr country.  People who submit themselves for training abd background checks are not committing gun crimes.

This a public shaming and intimidation tactic.

Now Students Demand Action is doing the same to FFLs.

Your neighbor could be manufacturing and selling guns out of their home and you wouldn’t even know it. The latest @Everytown research report includes a map of federally licensed gun dealers in your area.

Screen grab for posterity if the Tweet gets deleted.

These people are often referred to as Kitchen Table Dealers.

With the rise of websites like Gunbroker and Guns America, these people mostly deal online and process transfers.

These are people who went through the rigorous process of getting an FFL from the ATF.

Students Demand Action wants you to believe that these people make your neighborhoods more dangerous.  There us no evidence for that at all.

This has nothing to do with gun safety.

They want the neighborhood anti-gun busy body harass their nearby FFL just to be a bitch.

If anything, this will promote crime by giving criminals an idea of which homes to target for theft.

Students Demand Action are anti-gun Child Heroes, out to harm law abiding people to advance their ideology.

At 7.5%, if I bought a house right now, I’d be paying $2,500 more per month in interest alone than I did when I last moved and bought a house in 2021.

That makes it absolutely unaffordable to make a mortgage payment.

This is the killer of inflation.

That should be any presidential candidate’s top priority, curbing inflation.

After that, energy prices.

I just paid $670 to fill of my oil tank after two months.  Heating oil also heats my water heater, so even in the summer I burn heating oil.  I just burn it at about half the rate in the summer than winter, so in January or February I’ll go through that much oil in one month instead of two.

But no, the big concern is Ukraine not having enough military support.

Fuck Pence and Fuck Ukraine.

Two college educated professionals working good jobs should be able to afford a house in America, but we can’t.

Fix that first.

Sig Sauer P320 X-Five.

30 rounds at 25 yards.

I’d say the gun is more accurate than I am.
