This is what happens when you treat criminals leniently.

The details are still coming in, but this line, from Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Ellie Rushing jumped out at me:

The convictions, including a felony illegal gun possession case in 2013, would have barred Lewis from owning a gun.

Surely, surely! even the dullest leftist advocating more gun control laws ought to be able to see that the gun control laws that are already on the books did not keep suspect Eric Lewis from having not one but two firearms, a handgun and a shotgun.

Well, that line is now gone, as Miss Rushing edited her report: Continue reading →

The execution of Nidal Hasan? This one might backfire for President Trump.

As I have said many times before, I am opposed to capital punishment. We should not kill anyone unless it is absolutely necessary, and if we have a prisoner securely and permanently confined, to the point he is unable to resist his execution, then he is sufficiently helpless enough that it is no longer necessary to kill him.

But I have also held that, if we are going to have capital punishment, we should stop being so squeamish about it. Executions used to be held in public, where the public could see what was being done in their name. The last public execution was held ninety years ago, when Rainey Bethea was hanged for rape in the Bluegrass State. Continue reading →

Yet another goon shoots police officers in Philly. ** Updated **

What are the odds that the shooter already has a long rap sheet, and has been given every break possible by the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District, Larry Krasner?

As we have previously reported, even when the city began programs to clean up and improve West Philadelphia, the locals rebelled, afraid that a nicer neighborhood would encourage more white people to move there. But, not to worry, things like this might keep them out:

Two police officers shot in West Philadelphia

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy! I suspect that he will not do well in prison.

David Harris noted about a former principal that he went “From celebrating someone’s murder to possessing some of the most vile material imaginable.” We have recently been noting that when someone is, in the immortal words of Colonel Batguano in Dr Strangelove,” a “deviated prevert” in one thing, there is a high probability that he will be a perv in something else as well.

How is this not fraud? Will anyone be held accountable?

If this had been done by the Trump Administration, the Editorial Board of The Philadelphia Inquirer, and far-left columnist Will Bunch would be screaming for a Special Persecutor Prosecutor to throw everyone in jail, but the Opinion section of the newspaper has nothing at all about this:

Students who moved out of the country were put back on Philly schools’ rolls

The reenrollment came just before an important funding deadline, as the district was grappling with lower-than-projected enrollment citywide.

Let’s face it: obeying the law is a choice

In the end, unless a person is incarcerated, compliance with the law is entirely voluntary. A 57-year-old man had his driver’s license revoked for an undisclosed medical condition, but got behind the wheel anyway, and now he’s dead, after having left a trail of debris behind. From WPVI-TV:

Deadly Haverford Township crash raises questions about revoked driving privileges

HAVERFORD TWP., Pa. (WPVI) — A deadly multi-vehicle crash in Haverford Township is raising questions about how a driver whose license had been revoked for medical reasons ended up behind the wheel. Continue reading →

There’s some major irony in Amanda Marcotte telling other people to shut up She doesn't want anyone to judge the alleged victim, but loves judging the accused men

It’s perhaps telling that Amanda Marcotte’s old Twitter biography photo was taken in a bar, and that it advertises Bud Light, though it does predate the Dylan Mulvaney s(tuff).

We suggested, on September 30th, that perhaps the very lovely Amanda Marcotte had learned something from her full-throated accusations against the Duke lacrosse team in 2006, that jumping the gun wasn’t necessarily the wisest thing to do. It took her until October 2nd to weigh in on the case:

In 2017, the #MeToo movement took the nation by storm. A veritable flood of women, and some men, spoke out about their own experiences with sexual abuse, leading to a slew of firings, lawsuits, arrests and social opprobrium of the accused, especially since so many accusers produced compelling evidence. Despite this, it was barely weeks before the backlash began, with countless articles about how #MeToo had gone “too far,” despite scant evidence that innocent men were getting entangled. That response swelled until it overcame #MeToo, which has largely faded into the background. Continue reading →

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

Scott Hughes, mugshot by Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department, and is a public record.

I noted, on Twitter as well as in a comment on the newspaper’s original, that what my best friend used to call the Lexington Herald-Liberal adheres to a McClatchy policy not to publish the mugshots of accused criminals, and normally extends that to convicted felons, including murderers, as well, but chose to publish a photo of a man accused, in a lawsuit but not a criminal complaint, of taping sex between guests.

So, I was in no way surprised that the newspaper decided not to publish the publicly available mugshot of this fine gentleman, but it was easy enough for me to find:

You in a heap o’ trouble, boys! Some people are just plain stupid.

Traisan Fields, mugshot by Fayette County Detention Center, and is a public record.

I noted, on August 14th:

Lexington, Kentucky, current population 329,791, has seen four murders so far in 2026. Philly has 4.77 times Lexington’s population, but 27 times as many murders.

I’d like to think that the gang-bangers in Lexington didn’t take what I wrote as a personal challenge, but for whatever the reasons, five more murders have been committed there.
