More one punch head trauma (disturbing images)

From Metro UK:

Dad lost half his skull in horrific assault but attacker served only 72 days

Steven Augustine, 32, from New York, has been fighting for his life in an induced coma since May 28, after being beaten with a baseball bat as he walked home from work in the early hours.

Surgeons had to remove the left side of his skull after it was shattered in the attack. His family are also fundraising for surgery, so doctors can build him a metal ‘skull’ to protect his brain. The dad-of-two is suffering from sunken brain syndrome – a rare complication after a large craniectomy – which has caused Steven to appear as though he’s missing half of his head.

That is horrible, just absolutely horrible.

Donna says the family are outraged that Steven’s attacker, Charles L. Miles, received a misdemeanour charge and served just 72 days of his 365 day sentence at Ulster County Jail, New York.

Why?

Although Steven cannot remember the exact details of the attack, his doctors say his injuries were consistent with being beaten with a baseball bat.

Despite the medic’s opinions, lawyers claim that Miles punched Steven just once, and his brain injury was sustained by falling backwards.

After the number of one-punch kills I’ve covered on this blog, I totally believe that Steven’s attacker punched him once in the face, causing a loss of consciousness, causing Steven to fall and hit his head on the concrete, fracturing his skull and causing the brain damage and coma.

That goes to show you just how serious a punch to the face is: doctors can’t conclusively say if he was punched once or beaten savagely with a baseball bat.

Ulster County District Attorney Holley Carnright told ABC 7 news that since Miles did not intend to cause serious physical harm to Augustine, his office could not bring felony assault charges against him.

That is bullshit.  The man is in a coma with half his head missing.  The prosecutor is being a lazy shit.

Ms Carnright said: ‘The injuries to his face were consistent with a single punch.

‘The skull fracture was consistent with a fall backwards.’

However, Steven’s mum Donna said: ‘Steven’s hospital records clearly state his injuries are caused by blunt force trauma possibly with a baseball bat and the man who did it is now walking free. ‘

The damage that has been done could not have happened after one punch. ‘The left side of head shattered along with multiple skull fracture throughout his head and face and he has had bleeding on the brain.

I am not a trauma surgeon or neurologist, but I’ve written about enough of these to say that “yes, one punch and a fall could have done this.”

She added: ‘I am heartbroken, my son is in a vegetated state.’

‘Our whole family has been destroyed; we will never be the same again. ‘Steven is a twin and his brother Brian is distraught, they did everything together and now his brother is fighting for his life.’

Donna says medics have attempted to replace the bone with a steel plate, but it became infected twice.

‘My boy is fighting every day; he wakes up every time I walk in the room and he can blink to say yes and no.

‘He cries every time he sees his sons Michael, seven and Steven Junior, 11 – they cry too because they miss their daddy so much.’

All of this because of one punch to the face.

I cannot tell you that if someone tries to punch you in the face that you should shoot him in self-defense.  That would be totally irresponsible of me.

What I can say is that if I were on a jury for a CCW permit holder who said “that guy tried to punch me in the head to I emptied my mag into him” I’d go all 12 Angry Men on a not guilty verdict.

Also, there is probably good money to be made for a forensic medical doctor or accident reconstruction specialist to become an expert witness explaining in great detail how dangerous getting punched really is and frequently one-punch kills occur in real life.

NYT Opinion uses Europeans to shame Americans

This is a video from The New York Times Opinion:

How nice, young Europeans are shocked that Americans pay for healthcare and college, are allowed to own guns, and don’t get carried away with junk science.

First and most importantly, Europeans are fundamentally different than real Americans.

Europeans are subjects, they think like subjects, they still act like subjects.  For almost two millennia, Europeans were feudal.  The feudal system is easy to understand.  The majority of the population were peasants.  They did the manual, economic labor of society.  The grew and harvested the food, they dug and processed the raw materials of the earth, they made things by hand.

They then gave some, most, or nearly all of the fruits of their labor to the nobility in exchange for the nobility to handle the administrative duties of society and to defend the peasants.

This model still exists today in Europe, which is why I call their system “democratic feudalism.”  It is now bureaucrats from a self-selected, entrenched elite that run the nations, but the system is pretty much the same.

Europeans work, pay between 40% and 65.9% of their income in taxes, and pay between 7.7% and 24% extra on the cost of goods in a VAT (value added tax).

That is where they get their “free” college and “free” healthcare.

By comparison, Americans pay between 10% and 37% in taxes, with the average being about 24%.

If you want to know why so many Europeans don’t drive and take public transportation, and so many who do drive own small economy cars.  It is because the cost of taxes on buying a car can nearly double the price of the car.

What American would stand for that?

Like European subjects of yore, they are disarmed and do not believe in self-defense.

Our national conscience was not just formed in revolution, but from carving civilization from the wilderness.  Guns are part of that history and national consciences.

I do not care that Europeans who get in trouble for defending themselves from home invaders and even have to pay damages to those who attempt to rob them, or worse, go to jail for pepper-spraying attempted rapists have a problem with my owning a gun for self-defense.

There is a reason that places like London and Sweden are suffering from epidemics of rape, assault with corrosive chemicals, stabbings, and moped robberies.

Also, for all the gun control they have in Europe, that hasn’t stopped Sweden from having more bombings now than it had during WWII.  Gangs are feuding with grenades.

As per the effect of paid family leave, despite the generous policies of Europe, their birth rates are lower than ours.  Maybe they can afford to give away great family leave when nobody is having kids.

It’s funny when the one guy said: “What surprises me is that people are not rioting on the streets of America.”

I guess his state-run media didn’t cover the Yellow Vest protests in France, or the Brexit protests in the UK, or the near civil war they had in Greece a few years ago, or any of the other social disruptions of young Europeans who are angry that their systems are bankrupt.

And of course, the NYT Opinion didn’t remind them of that.

As for the Azodicarbonamide, or as Leftist in the US call it “the yoga mat chemical.”  The study that linked it with maybe causing cancer was with workers in chemical plants and flour mills who were inhaling the stuff every day.  Not people who were eating bread baked with flour bleached with it.

I guess when your goal is to turn America into a European type quasi-Socialist neo-Feudal state where you are at the top and everyone else is a subject, you will sell only a whitewashed version of the good parts and leave out all of the bad.

And you know violent crime is about to go sky high in Frisco

On Saturday, San Francisco voters elected the son of two former Weather Underground murderers to serve as their District Attorney. The voters deserve all the hell that is about to break loose.

Progressive candidate Chesa Boudin wants to free criminals but prosecute police and ICE agents for doing their jobs. It’s no surprise Boudin hates cops so much. His parents did, too. Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert were terrorists in the Weather Underground who murdered two police officers and a security guard during a 1981 robbery of a Brinks armored security car outside New York City.

San Francisco Voters Elect Radical District Attorney, Son of Cop-Killing Terrorists

I would have said shit is going to hit the fan, but this is an Francisco Of The Feces so shit is already all over the place.

I figure F.I.D.O. (Fuck it, drive on) will now be the official strategy of the San Francisco Police Department rank and file. I am sure that St. Louis will be more than happy to relinquish the title of most dangerous city in the US, a title they acquired after the Ferguson bullshit & Black Lives Matters.

Popeye’s seems can’t shed the reputation

It takes one video to destroy a carefully planned publicity campaign.

A 55-year-old woman remains hospitalized at Vanderbilt University Medical Center with nine fractures in her elbow, six broken ribs and a broken left leg after an assault in the parking lot of Popeye’s Louisiana Chicken restaurant in Columbia, Tenn., that was captured in a now-viral video.

Popeye’s employee Deriance Ra’Shaiel Hughes, 29, was arrested Friday and charged with felony aggravated assault, according to Columbia Police. The incident occurred Tuesday, police said.

The video shows a woman walking out of the restaurant. A man wearing a red Popeye’s uniform shirt follows quickly behind her, with several other people behind him.

Before the woman steps off the sidewalk, the man later identified by police as Hughes grabs her waist from behind, lifts her up and body slams her onto the asphalt. On the audio, the man can then be heard screaming repeatedly as he stands over her while the woman moans.

Lawyer describes altercation before customer body-slammed at Tennessee Popeye’s

When I was in college back in the Reagan years, I used to go to a nearby Popeye’s to get Dirty Rice and biscuits, that was it since I do no like chicken. Years later visit ing the States, I went to one and I was greeted poorly because I was of the wrong racial persuasion and never even bothered since to be a customer.

You may have noticed on TV Popeye’s heavy campaign to attract customers with the Louisiana theme playing heavily trying to shed the gansta-only reputation that it seem to have developed and expand the customer base. But the above video is not going to help one bit.

Of course, tossing trays to a customer is not a good look either:

Or even fighting amongst employees”

It seems my long held belief that chicken sucks is also one that allows me to stay away from dangerous places. I’ll stick to tacos and burgers.

And Ladies and Gentlemen: There is no fast food out there worth ending up in a hospital or prison. Words do not hurt but deep cavity body search is an experience you should not aim for.

Socialist President of Bolivia resigns.

On Sunday, international monitors called for the election result to be annulled, saying they had found “clear manipulations” of the 20 October poll.

Mr Morales agreed with the findings and announced his intention to call fresh elections – after overhauling the country’s election body.

But politicians – and the army and police chiefs – had urged him to quit.

Some of his allies were attacked earlier this week, and said their homes had been set alight

Bolivian President Evo Morales resigns amid fraud poll protests.

There was manipulation of the electoral results. Before you get confused, according to Bolivia’s electoral law, if there not a 10% or more difference between the first and second place candidates, there has to be another round of elections. When th challenger went under that 10%, the Electoral Council stopped updating results, went silent and the next announcement was that Evo Morales had been re-elected.  It was such an obvious ploy that people took to the streets every day till today.  But it was yesterday that the final bell tolls were heard when the police units of all major cities went peacefully against the government being the last one the one from La Paz, capital of the country. Morales then asked the Electoral council to have brand new elections again,but that died when the Armed Forces of Bolivia suggested that he should resign.

He finally did.

The International Left is having kittens, bricks and other assorted objects plus a case of the vapors. Repeating the propaganda formula I have heard almost all my life, they blamed the CIA and the Ultra Right Wing for the “coup”  and swore a bunch of things: from not recognizing the next president to looking really crossed at anybody celebrating Evo’s departure.

There are some of the Bolivian “CIA agents” celebrating in the streets after Morales announced his resignation

Purebred gringos all of them.

The President was last seen hoping in a small jet plane and taking off, only to land at another airport in the country. Unconfirmed news say that he asked several countries including Argentina and Brazil for refuge and was denied.

The question now is why Bolivia succeeded where other Latin American countries have failed? No idea, but then again it is Bolivia. They proudly fucked Che Guevara and told Castro to go sit on a broken bottle of rum. you just don’t mess with mountain people.

PS: Can somebody please post this in Twitter? I still 5 and a half days left of my Gulag sentence and won’t let me publish my posts there. Thank you!
