Crazy people are dangerous #Transgender girl shows some toxic masculinity

Sometimes I worry that I am stepping on the toes of former Washington Times reporter and editor Robert Stacy McCain and his series entitled Crazy People Are Dangerous by using the title myself, but sometimes the crazy becomes too blatant to ignore. This site previously reported on the brutal assault by a 13-year-old boy claiming to be a girl on a 12-year-old girl at Pennbrook Middle School, and how the credentialed media are mostly keeping the fact that the alleged assailant is nuttier than a fruitcakesuffers from gender dysphoria.

I also noted, just before noon on Wednesday, that even though the assault was a week ago, not only have the credentialed media kept quiet about the allegation that ‘Melanie,’ the name the alleged assailant has chosen to use, is reported to be ‘transgender,’ but the media have not reported in anything I have seen any claims that the report of the alleged assailant’s ‘transgender’ status is false.

Well, now he’s getting worse:

Transgender student accused of beating preteen student attacked sheriff deputies at hearing

Tuesday, April 23, 2024 | 7:50 AM EDT

Pennsylvania middle school student, a biological male who identified as a female and who is accused of beating a 12-year-old with a Stanley cup tumbler last week, allegedly attacked sheriff deputies at a hearing on Monday.

The act of violence allegedly came after a judge ruled that the student, who attends Pennbrook Middle School in the suburbs of Philadelphia, was to be held at the Montgomery County Youth Detention Center in Eagleville because of the violent attack at the school.

“The judge ordered that the juvenile be detained at the Youth Center,” Upper Gwynedd Police Chief David Duffy told the Washington Examiner in an email Monday night. “Upon hearing this, the juvenile grabbed a nearby water jug, swung it at sheriff’s deputies, and resisted being handcuffed.”

Perhaps, just perhaps, the wiser thing to do when you are facing the judge in a criminal matter is not to commit another criminal act in front of that judge. That ‘transgender girl’ sure was exhibiting some ‘toxic masculinity’ there, but, at 13-years-old, he would normally be right in the middle of male puberty, his system being flooded with testosterone, unless he is on some sort of medication which would prevent that.

Monday’s outburst came after the student attacked a seventh grader last week in the school cafeteria, which the Washington Examiner previously reported.

Video surveillance from that day showed the victim being attacked from behind and repeatedly hit in the back of the head with a Stanley cup tumbler. The attack left “blood everywhere,” according to one student.

“I was in lunch, and all of the sudden, I hear all of this screaming and everybody running,” Emily, a student, said at a school board hearing last Thursday. “I see Mel running in after somebody, and everyone’s screaming and running.”

That statement would seem to confirm other reports that the alleged assailant was using the name “Melanie.”

Law enforcement officers and school district administration officials identified the victim as a girl but refused to specify whether the attacker was male or female. The assailant was later identified as a transgender student by parents and other adults who spoke at a school board hearing after the attack.

That ‘Melanie’ is really a boy seems to have been widely known at the school.

There’s more at the original, but, other than the original report on Monday by reporter Maddie Hanna, The Philadelphia Inquirer has had no follow-up on a story, at least as of 9:29 PM EDT on Wednesday, that has received some national attention. Montgomery County is directly adjacent to Philadelphia, and the Inky is supposed to be the area’s ‘newspaper of record.’

The credentialed media are declining to publish the names of either the alleged assailant or his victim, because both are minors. At just 13-years-old, it’s almost certain that ‘Melanie’ will not be charged as an adult, and while he might spend some time in juvenile detention, he’ll be out more probably sooner than later. But what he really needs is some serious mental help, because for whatever reasons exist, he is not coping well in life.

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the rectum here] to do things right Progressives are complaining that more conservative policies won’t work, when progressive policies have already failed

Albert Einstein supposedly said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Perhaps relying on a misunderstanding of Werner Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, the progressive left can hold that if they just keep doing the same thing — albeit spending more of Other People’s Money while doing so — their oh-so-noble policies will work where they haven’t worked before. The progressive left are complaining that more conservative urban policies won’t work, but they are being implemented because liberal and progressive policies didn’t work! Continue reading

Crazy people are dangerous Always note what the media are telling you, and what they are not

The in-school assault was serious enough that several credentialed media sources reported on it, and how the school was warned, in advance, that the attack would occur, and did nothing.

But you know what all of the media sources I linked did not mention? It has been reported by the Daily Mail that the assailant was not a real girl, but a boy self-identifying as a girl: Continue reading

Crazy people are dangerous Whenever there is a truth that you cannot tell, that is a truth you must tell!

My very good friends on the left used to love, when presented with a fact which challenged their assertions, to use the expression, “The plural of anecdote is not data.” I, of course, pointed out that an ‘anecdote,’ if confirmed, actually is a datum. A few years ago, Barry Ritholtz writing in The Big Picture, reported:

Which brings us back to anecdotes: As it turns out, the original quote about anecdotes had a very different context, and a much more nuanced meaning. It is attributed to Ray Wolfinger, who was a political scientist at the University of California-Berkeley.

Wolfinger’s original statement was quite literally the very opposite of what we all have been using. He had actually said “the plural of anecdote is data.” This should affect the way we think about and use data.

Mr Ritholtz noted the problem of selection bias. Yes, he used as an example, shark attacks are dangerous, and frequently lethal, but the vast majority of interactions between humans and sharks do not result in sharks attacking humans. I am reminded of General ‘Buck’ Turgidson’s statement in Dr Strangelove, “I don’t think it’s fair to condemn the whole program due to a single slip-up.” And that leads me to the obvious question: just how many of these data points does it take to destroy the narrative?

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

Is Mayor Cherelle Parker Mullins (D-Philadelphia) an [insert slang term for the rectum here]? The city’s left are aghast that Mrs Mullins has promised that the city government will not provide even a single dollar for the syringe exchange program to ‘reduce harm’ to the junkies who shoot up in Philly’s streets. And while I have yet to see an official editorial in The Philadelphia Inquirer opposing the Mayor’s announced policy, the newspaper’s coverage certainly seems slanted in that general direction. We have previously reported on how almost everyone supports drug addiction treatment and rehabilitation, but they prefer it to be in other people’s neighborhoods, and how even in Democrat-controlled Philadelphia, the City Council passed an ordinance which bans ‘safe injection centers in all council districts except one. We also noted that, despite residential opposition, the editors of The Philadelphia Inquirer have supported the concept of ‘safe injection centers and been opposed to efforts to ban drug treatment centers in specific neighborhoods.

Mayor Parker proposes cutting nearly $1 million in syringe exchange funding for Prevention Point

The shift is part of Parker’s promise to end the city’s financial support of programs that provide sterile syringes to people who use drugs.

You in a heap o’ trouble, girl! Another public school teacher decides to f(ornicate) a student!

Erin Ward, mugshot by Douglas County, Nebraska, Sheriff’s Office, and is a public record.

At a certain point, my mind just boggles, as I cannot conceive of how teachers can think that they can get away with this stuff. Wein Ward, a 45-year-old public school substitute teacher was caught trying to copulate with a 17-year-old male student in a car parked on a dead-end road. I mean, come on, if you are a 45-year-old married woman, you ought to have grown out of sex in parked cars!

Perhaps his disability was that he was just plain stupid

My good friend Robert Stacy McCain has a new post, Biden’s Gun Control Policy Won’t Work, about the President’s attempt to close the so-called ‘gun show loophole,’ which is, as Mr McCain pointed out, “a propaganda phrase invented by the anti-gun fanatics who want to prevent law-abiding citizens from defending themselves.”

But the part which interested me most was further down:

Anthony Wade was 34 when he died March 29 in Sparks, Nevada, after shooting a cop who pulled him over for a traffic violation. Police on Friday released video of the incident, during which Wade fled after shooting the cop, crashed his car, ran on foot, broke into two different homes where he attempted to hide out, and ambushed police when they came after him. Anthony Wade was a convicted felon who, as such, was prohibited from owning firearms. He’d been a criminal his whole life: Continue reading

No Riots: Dexter Reed will not get his George Floyd moment And a gunfight at the Eid al-Fitr Corral.

When you have a 21-year-old, two 16-year-olds, and two 15-year-olds, carrying guns and opening fire when “two groups of young people started shooting at one another for reasons that remain under investigation,” naturally the response from the local councilwoman is to call for more gun control. Of course, it’s already illegal to carry a firearm in Philadelphia without a license, and it’s already against the law for minors to be carrying guns, yet Jamie Gauthier wants more gun control laws for these fine people to violate:

City Councilmember Jamie Gauthier, who represents parts of West Philadelphia, said in a statement Wednesday that the incident was “heartbreaking” and called on lawmakers in Harrisburg and Washington to pass gun safety laws “that will stem the flow of guns into our neighborhoods.”

Robert Stacy McCain has the story of 26-year-old Dexter Reed, Jr, formerly of Chicago and now a resident of Hell. Mr Reed: Continue reading
