You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

As Leroy Jethro Gibbs once said, on NCIS, when he was ‘questioning’ some young college kids, he “will not do well in prison.”

I have to admit, when I first saw this tweet from Steve Keeley of Fox 29 News, my first thought was, “This guy had to go after underaged girls?”

U.S. Marshals capture Pa. man accused of sexually assaulting underage girl in NJ

Shane Hennesy, 22, of Delaware County, Pa., is accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl in Pine Hill, New Jersey

By David Chang • Friday, April 25, 2025

The U.S. Marshals captured a Pennsylvania man who had been a fugitive for more than two months after he sexually assaulted an underage girl in New Jersey, officials said.

Shane Hennesy, 22, of Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, was taken into custody around 6 a.m. on Friday, April 25, 2025, in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, according to investigators. Members of the U.S. Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force, Camden Division and the U.S. Marshals Service Eastern Pennsylvania Violent Crimes Fugitive Task Force, Reading Division made the arrest.

Police said Hennesy sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl in Pine Hill, New Jersey, between December 2024 and January 2025 after the two met online. He was charged on Feb. 20, 2025, with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child. He had been on the run since the charges, officials said.

So, he’s been on the lam for the past two months. He could run, but, in the end, he couldn’t hide.

WPVI-TV reported that Mr Hennesy assaulted the girl between December 2024 and January 2025 after the two met online. According to the criminal complaint, he climbed through the girls’ bedroom window while her parents and siblings were asleep, assaulting her in her own bed, and staying in the room for hours before leaving through the window.

The Philadelphia television stations were all over this story, three days ago when the police were searching for him, and now, since he was captured. Those media outlets are free, but, oddly enough, The Philadelphia Inquirer, which costs me $5.49 per week, billed every four weeks, had nothing on the story, at least as of 3:28 PM EDT on Friday. I would have thought that our nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper, the winner of twenty Pulitzer Prizes, and the ‘newspaper of record’ for the region, would have had something on the pursuit of a dangerous sexual predator. Heck, Mr Hennesy isn’t even black, so the self-proclaimed “anti-racist news organization” wouldn’t even be violating publisher Elizabeth “Lisa” Hughes’ edicts. For what are subscribers paying? Why should they shell out their hard-earned euros for a newspaper — in my case, digital only — that won’t publish the news?

The newspaper certainly went all out on the sexual abuse of minors when the predators were Catholic priests; why not when the (alleged) offender is just a regular guy?

My far too expensive Philadelphia Inquirer subscription. I could use a senior citizen’s discount right about now.

But, I digress. NBC 10 also published some selfies the accused took, presumably for use in his online stalking of young girls, and let’s face it: the dude is handsome! There’s no way this guy didn’t get laid every week in high school, if he wanted. Yet here he is, 22-years-old, old enough to get into the pick-up bars if he wanted, and he’s (allegedly) seeking out and seducing kids. We don’t know if the 12-year-old he (again, allegedly) assaulted is his only child victim, but if he went fishing for young girls, he might well have caught more than one.

If the accusations are accurate, this dude is just plain sick. There’s no way that anyone in the United States with an IQ above room temperature doesn’t know that sex with a minor, and in this case (allegedly) with a minor who wasn’t even a teenager yet, is against the law, is a serious, serious felony, a go-to-prison felony. To even try it is indicative of one thing in particular, a sociopathic/psychopathic disorder, one that has to have such a dangerous person removed from society.

And this pretty boy? Like Mr Gibbs said, he will not do well in prison!

Good news out of Philadelphia! A Philly cop turned an illegal immigrant over to ICE despite city's 'sanctuary city' status

Deportation machines abound at local convenience stores! 🙂

Philadelphia is like a lot of major cities, declaring itself to be a ‘sanctuary’ city for all immigrants, by which they meant illegal immigrants. The city government was not going to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Well, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported some good news on that front.

Charges against a man were dismissed. Then a Philly police officer escorted him into ICE custody.

A judge had dismissed charges against the Dominican National when, according to his lawyer, court and sheriff staff said he was wanted by ICE officers. A Philly police officer then stepped in.

by Samantha Melamed and Max Marin | Wednesday, April 23, 2025 | 12.01 PM EDT | Updated: 5:47 PM EDT

A Philadelphia police officer escorted a Dominican national out of Philadelphia’s criminal courthouse and into the custody of U.S. immigration authorities last week, shortly after a judge had dismissed all criminal charges against the defendant.

The Defender Association of Philadelphia and other advocates questioned what the apparent cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) meant for Philadelphia’s so-called sanctuary city policies.

Jean Carlos Brito-Munoz, 30, was arrested on April 2 for allegedly carrying a concealed firearm without a license in the city’s Juniata section, according to police and court records. But Municipal Court Judge Bradley K. Moss dismissed the felony charge on April 17 for lack of evidence.

Lack of evidence? How, exactly, is there a “lack of evidence” against someone arrested for carrying a concealed firearm without a license? Was a firearm actually recovered and confiscated?

At that time, Brito-Munoz would have been free to go.

Instead, a Philadelphia police officer in the courtroom informed court staff and sheriff’s deputies that Brito-Munoz was wanted on another arrest warrant, said Brendan Kenney, spokesperson for the First Judicial District.

According to Brito-Munoz’s public defender, a sheriff and a court staffer instructed Brito-Munoz to remain in the courtroom. The defender instructed her client to leave. The police officer then stepped in and escorted Brito-Munoz outside, to awaiting federal authorities. He remains in immigration detention at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia.

Wait, what? Informed that Mr Brito-Munoz was wanted on another arrest warrant, his public defender instructed her client to leave? Can an attorney advise her client to elude arrest?

A police department spokesperson, Eric Gripp, said that the Spanish-speaking officer “offered to walk with Brito-Munoz downstairs for translation purposes” but did not detain him.

Brito-Munoz, Gripp said, surrendered on his own. The department did not immediately explain where the officer was assigned, what he was doing in the courtroom that day, or why he alerted other officials in the courtroom. A person with knowledge of the situation said the officer was detailed to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, which has been working with ICE in other jurisdictions. That source was not authorized to discuss the matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The article continues to tell both of the newspaper’s remaining readers that while Philly is supposed to be a ‘sanctuary city,’ ICE has been able to detain illegal immigrants — the newspaper used the term ‘someone’ — outside the courthouse, though such did not involve any action by the police. The city’s inept former Mayor, Jim Kenney, who spent eight years in office letting crime rise and the drug problems fester and grow, issued an edict instructing city law enforcement officers not to honor immigration detainment orders, and ICE (supposedly) has no access to the Police Department’s arrests database or records.

Mayor Cherelle Parker Mullins has not reaffirmed the city’s sanctuary status since taking office, but she has not rescinded her predecessor’s orders.

Regardless of what happened in the Brito-Munoz case, it is clear that information has been flowing between local police and federal law enforcement.

Scores of deportation cases filed in the U.S. Eastern District of Pennsylvania in recent years followed a pattern: First, a person is arrested by the Philadelphia Police Department or another local department for offenses ranging from drunken driving to drug dealing to assault. Then, police run the defendant’s fingerprints through a federal database. If the person has previously been deported, that automatically pings ICE, according to court paperwork.

In other cases, ICE agents made arrests in the field while serving on a joint drug task force in collaboration with Philadelphia police or the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office — using portable fingerprint scanners to immediately identify those who had previously been deported, according to court records.

Heh! You can run, but you cannot hide!

Thus far, the newspaper has not told us that the unnamed police officer in question acted alone or violated department orders. I’m waiting for columnists Jenice Armstrong, Helen Ubiñas, and Will Bunch to demand that he be identified and fired, but, as of Thursday morning, I haven’t seen their spittle-flecked wrath in print. Miss Armstrong’s latest is “It’s time for a Black pope for the Catholic Church. Actually, it’s way past time,” but I’m pretty sure that she’d eat those words if that black pope turned out to be Robert Cardinal Sarah! 🙂

I’m old enough to remember when our friends on the left cheered the Supreme Court refused to hear the case of Lozano v City of Hazleton, in which the appellate court invalidated Hazleton, Pennsylvania’s, ordinance seeking to keep illegal immigrants out of the city. The court said that immigration was the exclusive authority of the federal government, and lower government levels had no authority to intercede. Yet those same people on the left want to use state and local ordinances to interfere with the federal government’s exclusive authority over immigration when it comes to protecting illegal immigrants.

I definitely hope that this Philadelphia Police officer doesn’t get in any trouble for doing his duty.

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the anus here] to do things right

The oh-so-noble idea behind welfare was the idea that down-on-their-luck people just need a helping hand to get themselves through a rough patch in their lives, to give them a chance to get back on their feet. The problem is that, behind that thinking, is the idea that everyone is actually willing to do the things to straighten out their lives. To the elites who have been putting together our welfare systems, the concept that some people would rather just do their own thing, not caring about getting their lives back in order as long as someone else was paying them to stay indolent was simply outside of their conceptual framework.

Couple that with cultural attitudes of thinking that drug abuse is a victimless crime, and everything falls apart! From The Philadelphia Inquirer:

Addiction takes a toll on life and limb

Amputations are spiking amid Philly’s tranq crisis. It’s a mark of the slow public health response to the latest threat in the drug epidemic

by Aubrey Whelan, Max Marin, and Dylan Purcell | Earth Day, April 22, 2025 | 5:00 AM EDT

The woman came to Samir Mehta’s clinic with a wound in her leg. The infection ran so deep and had destroyed so much soft tissue that Mehta thought he was dealing with an aggressive form of cancer.

As the Penn Medicine orthopedic surgeon was removing infected flesh around the patient’s tibia — a process called debridement – he said the bone began to crumble at his touch, like “rotting wood that falls apart in your hands.”

He decided the only option was to amputate.

It was 2022, and doctors around the Philadelphia region were facing the same decision as hundreds of drug users arrived at hospitals with similarly grave wounds. The harm was unlike anything they’d seen before: blackened hands and fingers, lesions that hollowed out arms and legs to the bone, maggots swimming in rotten flesh.

This new chapter opened in the opioid crisis about five years ago, with Philadelphia becoming ground zero for “tranq,” the street name for xylazine, an animal tranquilizer that quickly overtook the city’s illicit street drugs. Understudied and never approved for human use, tranq doesn’t kill instantly like the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl.

There’s much more at the original.

I’ve said it before: the huge drug market in Philadelphia exists because the city has so many junkies. The police could arrest dozens, maybe hundreds of dealers, and they’d be replaced by new drug dealers the following day. To clean up Kensington, the internationally famous hellhole of drug abuse, the Mayor, the District Attorney, and the Police Commissioner have to concentrate on arresting the addicts, and putting them in jail at least long enough to get them through withdrawal and detoxification. This is something Larry Krasner, the DA, would never do, because, Heaven forfend! it would leave the poor dears with a criminal record. But not doing so, simply leaving junkies to fend for themselves out on the streets means that they keep shooting up, living on the streets, fouling and terrorizing the SEPTA elevated train station in the neighborhood, committing petty, and some not-so-petty, crimes to feed their drug habits, and now, thanks to tranq, clogging emergency rooms, wasting hospitals’ resources since the junkies can rarely pay their hospital bills and don’t have insurance, and becoming a further drain on society by becoming disabled.

But the toll is clearly devastating: The severity of the skin wounds associated with tranq are costing people their limbs. Amputations among people addicted to opioids have doubled in five years in Philadelphia, The Inquirer found, in an extensive analysis of medical billing data and over six months of interviews with medical professionals, patients, and tranq users.

At least 450 people with documented opioid use disorders had amputations between 2020 and 2023, the analysis found. And that is likely an undercount.

If addicts are arrested and jailed at least long enough to go through detoxification, there is at least a chance that they can be treated and helped to get past their addiction. If they can be detoxed, at least for a while, they will be using whatever [insert vulgar term for feces here] is out on the streets that day.

Naturally, the good, kind, compassionate leftists at the Inquirer put the blame not on the junkies, but the government:

Beyond indicating tranq’s harm, the rise in amputations is also a mark of the slow public health response to the latest threat in the drug epidemic, and shows the limits of available medical treatment.

“(S)low public health response”? How about law enforcement’s response, how about the city’s response to getting these wastrels off the streets? Free Press writer Olivia Reingold wrote “Addiction Activists Say They’re ‘Reducing Harm’ in Philly. Locals Say They’re Causing It” 12½ months ago, noting that, whatever the good and noble intentions of the activists, the residents see it differently:

Those who advocate for harm reduction — a Biden-endorsed policy that prioritizes users’ safety over their sobriety or abstinence — say they’re helping fix the problem. But when I visited Kensington last month, (Sonja Bingham, a 55-year-old mother of three and Kensington resident) and almost a dozen other residents told me that the activists are actually the ones causing it.

The neighborhood is, despite Mayor Cherelle Parker Mullins efforts, still a hellhole, because nobody wants to do the right thing! Arresting and forcibly detoxing the junkies won’t save them all, and there’s a certain point at which I stop caring about those who won’t try to save themselves — I am something of an admitted [insert slang term for the anus here] myself — but the social costs, the welfare costs, the medical costs are all falling not on the junkies but on normal taxpayers.

Shouldn’t a professional writer who ‘wonders’ about something know enough to Google the answer?

While doing research for my previous post, Requiescat in Pace, Pope Francis, I figured that I would check on the very lovely Amanda Marcotte, a loudly self-proclaimed atheist, to see what drivel she had written. As it happens, at least as of 8:00 PM on Easter Monday, our fanatic (neveau) Philadelphian hadn’t written about the Holy Father’s passing, but in a slightly older, April 18th article, I found this commenter on religion having said this:

Do Catholics really fast on Fridays during Lent, I had to wonder.

One thing is certain: she didn’t wonder enough to actually check it out!

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.

For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards.

So, no, we don’t “fast on Fridays during Lent”. We abstain from meat on those Fridays, but the discipline of fasting as well is not imposed, save on Good Friday as well as Ash Wednesday. One would think that a (purportedly) serious writer would have looked it up; Google is both free and our friend.

Miss Marcotte ‘wondered’ about something she didn’t actually know, though her “vague memories growing up in a heavily Catholic part of the country involve people eating a lot of fish at dinner.” Yup, fish is not included in the abstinence requirement, though I will confess that even today I wonder why not. As it happens, I love most fish, and my wife cooks it wonderfully. I do wish that our parish was large enough to support a fish fry on Fridays, as some larger parishes can. But really, how can a (semi) famous (supposedly) professional writer not look up something so simple?

Requiescat in Pace, Pope Francis

My Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — feed was full of chortling posts claiming that the Vatican denied Vice President J D Vance a meeting with Pope Francis, sending the Vatican’s second-ranking official instead, in what the left loudly proclaimed was a deliberate snub to Mr Vance.

That’s not quite what it was.

The story behind JD Vance’s unlikely visit with Pope Francis

Vance and Francis had publicly disagreed in recent months on immigration policies and other aspects of church teaching.

by Natalie Allison | Monday, April 21, 2025 | 3:19 PM EDT

VATICAN CITY — On JD Vance’s final morning in Rome, the headlines that the pope had snubbed him were already a day old. Donald Trump’s vice president had come on the busiest weekend of the church’s Jubilee year, expecting a meeting with a sickly pope who had already condemned his policies. Of course the head of the church hadn’t granted it, his critics gloated.

Then, on Easter morning, the streets of Rome shut down.

A motorcade whizzed by with a Vatican flag billowing opposite the Stars and Stripes on Vance’s Chevrolet Suburban. The vice president had been called for an audience with Pope Francis.

Vance and Francis have publicly disagreed in recent months on immigration policies and other aspects of church teaching, so an Easter Sunday meeting with the pope was notable. But for Vance, a 40-year-old Catholic convert, to become one of the few individuals to meet Francis on the last full day of his life, when the pope was visibly lacking strength to speak or express emotion, was historic.

Can we tell the truth here? Yes, the Vatican was hugely busy during the Easter weekend, and His Holiness the Pope also knew what no one in any authority in the Vatican wanted to admit publicly: the Pope was dying.

Yes, Pope Francis was very opposed to President Donald Trump’s policies of rounding up and deporting illegal immigrants. But, as USA Today noted:

Barack Obama was moved by Pope Francis’ moral perspective on world problems. Donald Trump said the pontiff made him more determined than ever to pursue peace. And Joe Biden said Francis was happy he was a good Catholic.

Presidents Obama and Biden fully support prenatal infanticide, something which the Catholic Church holds as a very grave mortal sin, and Mr Biden, a Mass-every-Sunday Catholic, went even further than Mr Obama, pushing for taxpayer-funded abortion nationwide in 2025 budget plan and other proposals, along with a federal fund for people who need to take time off work and pay for childcare to obtain an abortion. I’m not exactly certain how that makes Mr Biden a “good Catholic.”

Mr Trump, during his first term when he met with the Holy Father, has always been kind of wishy-washy on abortion, though he did appoint three of the Supreme Court Justices who overturned the repugnant Roe v Wade, but his immigration policies during that term were very much oppose to the Vatican’s view.

Yet the Holy Father met with all of them.

Back to The Washington Post:

“Hello, so good to see you,” Vance said as he approached Francis in his wheelchair. The pope was about to speak a few words to a crowd of tens of thousands in St. Peter’s Square before an archbishop read Francis’s final Easter homily. The message decried “how much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants.” The address also warned against elected officials who “yield to the logic of fear, which only leads to isolation from others.”

Vance, in the days leading up to the visit, had vehemently defended the Trump administration’s aggressive deportation agenda, slamming both the “illegal migrant invasion” under President Joe Biden and the “smug, self-assured bullshit” coming from critics of Trump’s deportation policies. The vice president has relished the role of attack dog in an administration that prizes dominance and retribution.

Yet in a plain and starkly lit room in Casa Santa Marta, the pope’s residence[1]Pope Francis chose not to live in the Papal Apartment, preferring a much simpler two-room suite in Casa Santa Marta. within the Vatican, the two men offered only kindness to each other. Vance had sprinted to the pope’s home for a meeting that lasted mere minutes. And he did most of the talking, offering a show of deference not commonly seen since he joined Trump’s ticket and got an office in his White House.

“I know you’ve not been feeling great, but it’s good to see you in better health,” Vance said.

I guess that last was a bit premature!

The position of the Catholic Church on social and political subjects is not something which can be easily categorized as conservative or liberal, right or left wing. The Church is opposed to homosexual marriage, declared homosexual activity to be mortally sinful, homosexual inclinations to be “intrinsically disordered,”[2]From the Catechism of the Catholic Church: §2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the … Continue reading and is opposed to ‘transgenderism’ in any form.

Yet the Church is fully committed to open immigration, and is wholly opposed to war, whether the war in Ukraine, which Mr Biden supported and Mr Trump wants to end, or in Gaza, in which our 46th half-heartedly supported Israel, while our 47th is sending Israel even more powerful weaponry. The Church is opposed to capital punishment.

John F Kennedy, our first Catholic President, had to make clear during his campaign that he would not be ‘taking orders’ from the Vatican. President Biden appeared to be devoutly Catholic, but differed from the Church on many issues. And now, Vice President Vance, a Catholic convert at age 35 who also attends Mass almost every Sunday, has his political differences with the Church, but has apparently no religious differences.

It is a common failing of political liberals and political conservatives alike to try to pigeonhole the late Pontiff specifically, or Catholic Church in general, as liberal or conservative, because our faith is not based on politics. While I would not claim to know the Vice President’s reasons for disagreeing with the Church on immigration, I can tell you mine: the unregulated influx of immigrants, some good people and some very bad, are an attack on Western civilization, the foundation which the Church both built and upon which it depends for its survival. We need a society that is internally peaceful for Christianity, whether Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox, to survive.

2 From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

§2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.” They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

§2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

§2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

Easter Monday

Our parish church, St Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Church, is small, with only about 24 families. We can’t afford the fancy decorations that some larger churches can, and don’t really have the room for them, but even in our small church, the Lord is present.

His Holiness Pope Francis passed away this morning, after a bout with pneumonia and a long physical decline. There is no doubt that he loved the Church, even if I disagree with some of his policies as Pope.

Could Daniel Pearson be a conservative? Are there any moderate Democrats left?

Is a member of the Right Eing Extremists of the United States of America allowed to have a favorite liberal writer who I don’t use as a blog whipping boy? I have twice asked if The Philadelphia Inquirer’s primary editorial writer, Daniel Pearson, could actually be a conservative.

He knows that I have asked that question, and certainly denies it, definitely opposed to President Trump and most Republicans, but he is at least in some ways the kind of Democrat conservatives can appreciate. He’s certainly not a loony leftist like his colleagues Will Bunch and the rest of the newspaper’s cabal of columnists! While he seems to support some silliness like the city’s silly driving while black driving equality law, he does support the enforcement of law.

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy! Bad causes attract crazy people

Robert Stacy McCain warned us about jumping to conclusions before all of the facts were in about Cody Balmer, the man charged with setting fire to the Pennsylvania Governor’s Mansion.

As soon as Pennsylvania State Police announced that Cody Balmer had been charged with setting the fire at the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion in Harrisburg, someone found Balmer’s Facebook page and a deep dive found little evidence to point to a motive. Like most other people — including Gov. Josh Shapiro himself — I immediately assumed the motive must be antisemitism. Like, you attack the residence of the Jewish governor on the first night of Passover, what else could it be?

So when I plunged into Balmer’s Facebook page, I expected to find evidence that the suspect was either (a) a neo-Nazi Jew-hater or (b) a “progressive” pro-Palestinian Jew-hater. But there was no evidence of either inclination. In fact, there was very little hint of political inclinations at all. The guy was a welder and mechanic, with a black wife and four mixed-race kids, which obviously seemed to rule out any neo-Nazi tendencies, but there weren’t any “free Palestine” messages, either, He had a couple of sarcastic posts indicating he wasn’t a big fan of Joe Biden, but there weren’t any MAGA pro-Trump messages, either. Thomas Stevenson of The Post Millennial dug even deeper than I did and discovered that Balmer described himself as a “registered socialist,” so it’s a fair surmise he was a Bernie Bro back in the day, which might explain his disdain of Biden as an “establishment” Democrat.
