Killadelphia: It’s a good thing that crime is down!

I saw this tweet earlier, but decided to wait to write about it, waiting for The Philadelphia Inquirer, for which I am paying to subscribe, to have more. Sadly, the Inky didn’t have all that much more:

Police are investigating the death of a Philadelphia firefighter as homicide

The 56-year-old man was found dead in the Holmesburg section early Wednesday morning.

by Nate File | Wednesday, October 15, 2025 | 10:43 AM EDT | Updated: 11:08 AM EDT

A Philadelphia firefighter was killed in the city’s Holmesburg section in the early hours of Wednesday morning, police said.

The 56-year-old man was found dead inside a home on the 4700 block of Shelmire Avenue at 4 a.m. after police were called.

A 27-year-old male suspect is in custody, and detectives are investigating the incident as a homicide. The suspect told police when they arrived that there had been a disturbance in the home, but the circumstances of the incident were unclear.

There’s one more paragraph in the story, but it tells us nothing.

But what interested me is something on which I’ve previously written. The homeowners of 4725 Shelmire Avenue were so afraid of thieves and street criminals that they literally put themselves in jail, adding bars to their front porch to keep them out. They aren’t the only ones on the block who’ve done that, as the row house at 4755 Shelmire has the same barred-in porch.

A look at the 4700 block of Shelmire Avenue via Google Maps Streetscapes shows not a run-down row home neighborhood, but a wide street, with homes at least visually decently kept. Many have been modified to close in their porches to create additional interior space. There’s no garbage strewn around — the images were taken just last July — and the Holmesberg section of Northeast Philadelphia is far from the worst section of the city, yet we can still see residents afraid of crime.

Zillow shows the interior details of 4725 Shelmire, so it was obviously on the market recently, and Zillow guesstimates the value of the three bedroom, two bath, 1,280 ft² home to be $211,800. An affordable home in a clean-looking neighborhood in Northeast Philly!

The newspaper reported, just two days ago, that an increasing percentage of Philadelphians are paying more than 35% of their income on rent, a percentage that the Department of Housing and Urban Development considers to be “cost-burdened.” Looks to me that they should be buying on Shelmire .  .  . if they are not too afraid of crime.

I check Bluesky so you don’t have to!

Will Bunch, the “national opinion columnist” for The Philadelphia Inquirer, is as thoroughly eaten up with #TrumpDerangementSyndrome as anyone on earth, and his rant this morning on Bluesky — he’s mostly abandoned Twitter — is thoroughly amusing. Mr Bunch is bemoaning “the media’s anemic (or non-) coverage of the massive No Kings movement,” which led me to check his own newspaper’s website. As of 8:11 AM EDT this morning, there were no stories showing up on the website that mentioned or even hinted as coverage of the #NoKings protests.

Even the Inquirer’s Editorial Board had to give President Trump (grudging) credit for the ceasefire and return of the hostages, so perhaps, just perhaps, the No Kings protests, scheduled for this coming Saturday, are not proving to be particularly well-timed. That he’s scheduled to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday to discuss ways to end the 3½-years-long Russo-Ukrainian War means that, despite his earlier failure to get an agreement there — something the left widely mocked — President Trump is still trying to work on a peace agreement there as well.

Can you imagine the apoplexy on the left if he did manage to get such an agreement? Imagine that: the “literally Hitler” demon to the left forging agreements to end two major wars?  🙂

Of course, the No Kings protests last summer were mostly a dud, despite the hype the left gave them, but at least they mostly avoided turning into riots. Perhaps that’s what the organizers think they need to become, to get much attention. William Teach noted that the global warming climate change protesters who have moved beyond peaceable assembly into destroying art and gluing themselves to the road to block traffic are now facing real punishment, so there’s that issue.

3gunGorilla tweeted an exchange from the Dave Ramsey Show:

“So you’re having protests all over the country next weekend?”
“That’s right.”
“And you’re calling them ‘No Kings’ protests?”
“Yes, Dave.”
“But the person who you claim is trying to act like a King isn’t stopping the protests?”
+“Well …”
“And you don’t see the irony?”

‘Nuff said!

The pro-Palestinian demonstrators would never see the evil of Hamas, no matter how much evidence was presented to them

So very, very many of the pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian demonstrators were decrying ‘genocide’ of the ‘Palestinians’ by Israel in the two-year-long war. They published all sorts of photos of places before-and-after the war. The same could have been done concerning Berlin and Dresden and Tokyo and Yokohama, because that’s what it takes to win wars. The last war we actually won was World War II, because we bombed and burned and blasted the infrastructure of Germany and Japan and, to a lesser extent, Italy, because that was what it took to starve their war machines and their governments. The lesson should be: don’t start a war you can’t win! Japan did, Germany did, Italy did, and now Hamas have done the same thing.

And now we know just what Hamas were trying to do:

Hamas Oct 7 memo shows meticulous plan to ‘end the children of Israel’

Story by Jotam Confino • Sunday, October 12, 2025

Yahya Sinwar sent to his eternal reward in Al-Hawwiyah.

An October 7 memo written by the Hamas leader in Gaza instructed members to burn down entire neighbourhoods, stamp on soldiers’ heads and broadcast the attack to the world.

It was followed up with orders from Hamas commanders to “kill everyone you encounter” and “end the children of Israel”.

The six-page memo, found in a bunker by the IDF, was written in Arabic by Yahya Sinwar, who was the Hamas leader until he was killed by the IDF in Gaza in October last year.

The original was published here, in London’s The Telegraph, but you need a subscription to see it. Here is The New York Times story on the discovered document.

Details were revealed in documents and intercepts discovered in Gaza and verified by The New York Times. They provide evidence that Hamas deliberately targeted civilians, contrary to their own claims throughout the war.

It also shows how carefully planned the attack was, despite some claiming it was sporadic.

It instructed bulldozers to destroy the fence separating Israel from Gaza, and for combatants to “stomp on the heads of soldiers,” as well as “opening fire on soldiers at point-blank range, slaughtering some of them with knives, blowing up tanks”.

“It needs to be affirmed to the unit commanders to undertake these actions intentionally, film them and broadcast images of them as fast as possible,” it stated.

“Two or three operations, in which an entire neighbourhood, kibbutz, or something similar will be burned, must be prepared,” the memo said.

Before the attack, a Hamas commander from Gaza City, known as Abu al-Baraa, told operatives near Kibbutz Sa’ad: “Document the scenes of horror, now, and broadcast them on TV channels to the whole world. Slaughter them. End the children of Israel.”

Well, we know that they did that part! Hamas and their minions did exactly that, and were intensely proud of having done so. The fake ‘journalist’ Saleh Aljafarawi celebrated the October 7 attack, but now he’s been killed, not by Israel, but another ‘Palestinian’ faction. Hamas have been executing Gazans they suspect of having collaborated with the IDF. They are nothing but a death cult.

Of course, our good-hearted and sympathetic and noble friends on the left will never recognize that the people they’ve been supporting are simply bloodthirsty killers. They’re all like the idiotic “queers for Palestine” people, people who Hamas and the other Islamists would happily slaughter for being queer.

And now it is being reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet with President Trump in Washington on Friday. Mr Trump failed in his earlier attempt to broker a ceasefire in the Russo-Ukrainian War, but there was never any real doubt that he’d try again. Will progress be made? Will the President succeed? Only the Lord knows the answer to that, but it is at least a possibility. If he succeeded, no one would be more hurt than Bill Kristol and the rest of the neocons.

The hostages have been released, but some on the left are just very upset that Hamas have been defeated

At 10:40 PM EDT on Sunday, October 12, 2025 — the real Columbus Day! — a distinguished gentleman calling himself simply “matt” quoted a tweet by Ivanka Trump Kushner, showing her praying at the Western Wall, responding “girl fuck you and your pedophile dad AND israel”. Please pardon the language, but I’m not going to soft-peddle it. Matt’s Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — biography self-describes him as “queer jew w very long nails, host of a bit fruity, he/they”, so make of that what you will.

President Trump and Mrs Kushner’s husband, Jared Kushner, were part of the negotiation which got the first phase of the Trump Peace Plan accepted by both Israel and whatever passes for the leadership of Hamas, and the remaining living hostages held by Hamas are being released. Israel has accepted the ceasefire provisions, and the killing has stopped. What, I have to ask, does Matt want, for the IDF to keep blasting and bombing Gaza, to keep killing more ‘Palestinians’?

Then there was Antony Blinken, who was Secretary of State under President Biden, who tweeted:

It starts with a clear and comprehensive post conflict plan for Gaza. It’s good that President Trump adopted and built on the plan the Biden Administration developed after months of discussion with Arab partners, Israel and the Palestinian Authority. It centers on temporary, transitional authorities for Gaza’s governance, security, humanitarian assistance, and rebuilding, led by Arab and international partners alongside Palestinians, backed by the United States, and ultimately handed over to full Palestinian control.

That was part of a twelve-tweet series praising the Trump Peace Plan, trying to take some credit for what President Trump and his people accomplished, what Messrs Biden and Blinken and their staffers failed to accomplish. The war in Gaza went on for 15 months and 13 days while they were in office, and only 8 months and 23 days after Mr Trump took office.

Mr Blinken admitted one reason that President Trump was able to achieve what Messrs Biden and Blinken could not:

First, what changed to make this breakthrough possible? Hamas is finally and fully isolated. Arab states and Turkey have said “enough.” The misery Hamas provoked and would allow to persist has delegitimized it among most Gazans. And Hamas realized that the cavalry (Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis) are not coming to the rescue.

Let’s tell the real truth: Mr Trump told Hamas, explicitly, that if they didn’t agree to the plan, Israel would have complete American support to not only continue the war, but to intensify it and totally obliterate Gaza. President Biden never went that far, and limited American assistance to Israel, which is at least part of the reason Hamas continued what was essentially a hopeless fight.

Then there was this:

Israel has long since achieved its war aims — destroying Hamas as an organized military force so October 7 can never be repeated and eliminating those responsible for its horrors – but at terrible cost to Palestinian civilians caught in a crossfire they did not start and were powerless to stop. Only the hostages remained. Israelis want them home and the war to end, putting pressure on the Israeli government to take the deal, not move the goalposts.

“Palestinian civilians caught in a crossfire they did not start”? Bovine feces! While it were Hamas and their allies who launched the October 7th attack, the people of Gaza wildly cheered it on when they knew it has happened, when the Hamas savages dragged the kidnapped hostages through the streets, celebrating the attack, celebrating the killings, and protecting Hamas.

Jeremy Corbyn, the far-left British politician, tweeted:

It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

Also read: William teach, “Trump Heads To Israel, Hostages Should Be Released“

Has he forgotten that the Allies of World War II occupied defeated Germany, denazified it, and set Germany on the path to becoming a peaceful Western democracy, rather than the threat to peace in Europe it had been? Has he forgotten that the United States occupied Japan, transforming its government and writing its constitution, to transform Japan from a militaristic conquering state to a peaceful one? Some cultures cannot be trusted, and the culture of the ‘Palestinians’ after twenty years free of Israeli occupation is one of them.

It goes way beyond those two: my Twitter feed is full of the irredentists of big, big words but who didn’t have the balls to go to Gaza to fight for the ‘Palestinians.’

I am concerned that not enough will be done to pacify Gaza, to end the reign of the irredentists, but only time will answer that.

Are you tired of winning yet?

The White House had threatened mass layoffs of federal government employees if Senate Democrats didn’t end their filibuster of the continuing resolution to fund the government, and many of us were wondering when, or if, it was going to happen. From The Wall Street Journal:

White House Starts Mass Layoffs of Government Workers

Many department receive notices, and an official says cuts will affect ‘thousands of federal workers’

By Natalie Andrews and Ken Thomas | Friday, October 10, 2025 | 2:24 PM EDT

WASHINGTON—The White House said Friday that it is conducting mass layoffs of federal employees in response to the government shutdown, an unprecedented step that follows through on weeks of threats meant to increase pressure on Democrats.

“The RIFs have begun,” White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought posted on X, using an abbreviation for reductions in force. An OMB official characterized the retrenchment as “substantial,” and a White House official said it would affect “thousands of federal workers.”

Vought briefed President Trump on the layoffs by phone Friday morning, according to a White House aide.

Department of Health and Human Services employees across several divisions received reduction-in-force notices on Friday, said Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for HHS. Some of the people who lost their jobs were deemed “at odds with the Trump administration’s Make America Healthy Again agenda,” he said.

An Education Department spokeswoman said some agency employees would be among those receiving the layoff notices Friday, and a government official said there were layoffs at the Commerce Department.

Other Departments, including Commerce, Fatherland Homeland Security, and the Environmental Protection Agency, saw layoff notices.

Democrats were obviously aghast:

Reductions in force “are not a new power these bozos get in a shutdown,” said Sen. Patty Murray (D., Wash.), the top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, on social media. “We can’t be intimidated by these crooks.”

Having lived and worked in once-reliably Republican Virginia, I have been appalled that Virginia is now a “blue” state where presidential elections are concerned, and that’s entirely due to the huge number of federal government workers living in the Washington outskirts of the Old Dominion. Reducing the federal workforce eventually leads to better government, as it strengthens Republicans and weakens Democrats.

Republican leaders have been lukewarm on firing federal workers. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R., S.D.) and other senior GOP lawmakers had quietly advised the White House not to move forward with mass layoffs and sharp cuts to government assistance programs, citing people familiar with the matter.

But leaders have also expressed exasperation with the lack of progress as the shutdown heads into its second weekend.

Republican ‘leaders’ may have been lukewarm on firing federal workers, but do you know who aren’t lukewarm about it? Republican voters are not lukewarm about reducing the overpaid federal workforce, Republican voters want to see fewer people being supported by their tax dollars and more people working in real jobs in the private sector. We want tax payers, not tax consumers!

My response to the Trump Peace Plan

I, for one, will wait and see if this deal is fully implemented. That the hostage release is the first step should mean, if there’s any rationality left in Hamas, that they intend to follow through with the rest, because the hostages are Hamas’ only point of leverage.

But whether this deal is completed or not, I don’t foresee any lasting peace. Looking at the timeline, we see Arab attacks against the Jews in 1948, 1956, 1967, and 1973, just the cycle for the 10- and 12- and 14-year-old boys, too young for the previous war, to get old enough to try to do what their candy-assed fathers couldn’t. Raised on resentment and hate, but not having gotten beaten themselves, they grew up thinking they could be the generation which succeeds.

This time has been different, however, as Israel unleashed so much Hell on Gaza that perhaps the growing generation of boys will be so terrorized that they won’t try it, but eventually children will grow up without memories of what happened to Gaza, and they’ll rise up and try again.

And let’s not kid ourselves: Israel won this war due to Benjamin Netanyahu, who was strong-willed and smart enough not to give the Arabs a cease-fire until they were thoroughly, thoroughly beaten. The wars in 1967 and 1973 were ended too soon, leaving too much of the Arab armies intact and alive and able to rearm. Fortunately, the Arab nations still learned the lesson, and the Arab nations never again attacked Israel, but the various terrorist groups kept at it. Hamas had hoped, perhaps even believed, that if they started the way, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia would mobilize and join them. The Arab national leaders were at least smart enough to say thanks but no thanks, in no small part because none of the other Arab leaders like or trust the Palestinians.

The only ones who joined the fight were Hezbollah, Iran, and the Houthis in Yemen. Iran is a thousand miles away from Israel, and the Houthis several hundred miles away, so they knew they wouldn’t get invaded by IDF troops, but they f(ornicated) around and found out anyway. Hezbollah sort-of tried to intervene, albeit a bit half-heartedly, but found out themselves as well, as their eyes and fingers and balls left their bodies.

You don’t get into martyr heaven without your balls! No 72 bacha bazi boys for them!

And Donald Trump deserves a lot of credit as well. Had Kamala Emhoff been President [shudder!] she’d have been pressing Mr Netanyahu to ease off all along, but President Trump recognizes enemies of Western civilization in ways our past DEI Vice President never did, and while he wanted this deal, and potential past deals, he also let Israel know that the US would support them if they went all out to destroy Hamas.

Still, with the Arabs allowed to stay in Gaza, there is eventually little way I can see this working out in the long run. Had Israel done what they should have done in 1967, and expelled every last Arab from Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, giving the country shortened, more defensible borders, and not having a Arabs under the thumb of occupation, we would not have seen this mess today.

You in a heap o’ trouble, girl!

Precious Hamilton is only fifteen years old, but she just might spend the next couple of decades in prison. Her initial claims are that it was all an accident, but someone is still stone-cold graveyard dead.

15-year-old girl charged with third-degree murder in fatal shooting of Abington teen

Abington Township police arrested Precious Hamilton in a shooting that killed 17-year-old Baseem “Seyven” Baker

by Jesse Bunch | Tuesday, October 7, 2025 | 5:18 PM EDT

Precious Hamilton, mugshot via Fox 29 News.

Montgomery County prosecutors charged a 15-year-old girl with third-degree murder Tuesday in the shooting death of an Abington teenager in his family’s apartment on Monday afternoon.

Precious Hamilton, of Eddystone, was arrested that evening by Abington Township police in connection with a shooting that left 17-year-old Baseem “Seyven” Baker dead from a gunshot wound to the head, prosecutors said.

No, of course young Miss Hamilton’s mugshot was not published by The Philadelphia Inquirer, but a quick Google search found it for me, from more than one source.

Police arrived at Baker’s apartment on the 100 block of Old York Road to find the teen dead in his bedroom, authorities said.

Police said Hamilton had been staying at the apartment over the weekend and had shown Baker the gun, a small-caliber revolver, on Sunday when “dry firing” the weapon out of Baker’s window, according to videos and a photo recovered from Baker’s iPad.

Though the article does not state it explicitly, reporter Jesse Bunch’s article makes it appear that the gun was Miss Hamilton’s. The charges filed, including possession of a firearm by a minor and carrying a firearm without a license, support that reading. What, I have to ask, was a 15-year-old girl doing carrying a firearm?

Further down:

During an interview with Hamilton and her mother, police said, Hamilton told investigators she shot Baker accidentally after the gun was left in the cocked position from Sunday.

She told investigators she grabbed the revolver while going to pack her belongings, and that while grabbing the weapon in a “rapid fashion,” the gun discharged and struck Baker, who was on the bed and fell to the floor, according to the affidavit of probable cause for Hamilton’s arrest.

Hamilton told investigators she and Baker had previously dated, then maintained a friendship for about a year, according to the affidavit.

I’m surprised that Mr Bunch included that last paragraph. What he did not include in his article, though it ought to be obvious from the fact that the alleged killer’s name was released, is that Miss Hamilton has been charged as an adult.

Young Miss Hamilton has been charged with third-degree Murder, Title 18 §2502(c), which, under Title 18 §1102(d) carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison. She has also been charged with Involuntary Manslaughter, which, under Title 18 §2504(b) is a first degree misdemeanor, which under Title 30 §923(a)(7) carries a penalty of a fine of between $1,500 and $10,000, and the possibility of imprisonment for not more than five years.

Mr Bunch should have included that in his story, because there’s a huge difference between third degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. My guess is that young Miss Hamilton will be offered an involuntary manslaughter plea bargain, if there is no evidence that she was carrying a firearm because she was part of a gang. Since this was in Montgomery County, and not Philadelphia, District Attorney Larry Krasner can’t simply dismiss the charges. We are no longer surprised when we read about 15-year-old boys carrying firearms; perhaps we shouldn’t be as surprised as we are that some 15-year-old girls are now packing heat.

That thing that never happens has happened again You in a heap o' trouble, boy!

This is the second time in a row I have used this headline, but according to my WordPress software, the seventh time I’ve used it; there could have been more. I will admit to some surprise, because my source, The Philadelphia Inquirer, told us more than they might have. Then again, the reporter is Vinny Vella, whom I have previously noted might have gotten in trouble with his editors for telling too much of the truth.

A local Montco supervisor has been charged with sexually abusing a boy for years

The abuse allegations come weeks after Nicholas Fountain had been charged with soliciting child pornography in Maryland.

by Vinny Vella | Monday, October 6, 2025 | 9:41 AM EDT

Nicholas Fountain, photo via Channel 10 Philadelphia.

A Skippack Township supervisor, already facing charges of soliciting child pornography, has been charged with sexually abusing a boy who was in his care for several years, investigators said Monday.

Here’s the part that several newspapers, and sadly, law enforcement agencies, hide: the sex of the victim. I have previously admitted that when I see a story written to conceal the sex of the victim, my first instinct is to guess that the sexual abuse was homosexual in nature. Mr Vella did not hide it, and it was even part of the headline.

Nicholas Fountain, 38, was arraigned late Sunday on charges of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault, and related crimes, after investigators say he admitted to the crimes in an interview with Pennsylvania State Police detectives.

He remained in custody, denied bail. It was unclear if he had hired an attorney.

Fountain had been in custody since Sept. 24, when state police troopers arrested him on a warrant issued by the Hartford County Sheriff’s Office in northeast Maryland. He was charged with soliciting nude pictures from an undercover officer posing as a 14-year-old boy.

Naturally, the Inquirer didn’t include the photo of the accused, either in this story or the previous one cited in their article. I suppose it doesn’t matter, because all of the local Philly television news stations had his picture plastered all over their reports. Even Victor Fiorillo of Philadelphia Magazine, who has complained about Steve Keeley and Fox 29 News crime coverage, included Mr Fountain’s photo. Instead, the newspaper used a photo of the Skippack Township office building.

With the charges of seeking child pornography, and since he runs two daycare centers in Pennsylvania, state police detectives decided to see if there was more potential criminal activity by Mr Fountain, and began interviewing:

people close to him about any potential criminal activity, according to the affidavit of probable cause for his arrest in Montgomery County.

In one of those interviews, the victim, now 18, told police Fountain sexually abused him, beginning when he was 9 years old and continuing until he was 16, the affidavit said.

There’s actually a lot to unpack in those two short sentences. While the story does not say so, the first question which came to my mind was: did any of the adults interviewed know of any suspicious activity by Mr Fountain? How did the detectives come to interview an 18-year-old boy? WPVI-TV’s report noted that Mr Fountain is married — yes, to a woman — and has two younger children along with a stepchild.

How, I have to ask, did Mr Fountain, if he is guilty of the charges against him, and he is innocent until proven guilty, manage to conceal all of this for so long? If the victim’s story is accurate, he started this at least nine years ago, when he would have been 31, and somehow left no clues? His wife never picked up on it? None of his friends noticed anything strange about him? A boy who was nine at first, continuing sporadically for seven more years, managed to keep it a secret from his parents and siblings — if he has any — and his friends? Make it make sense, because I certainly can’t understand it.

That thing that never happens has happened again

Hiring a 48-year-old, 5’7″, 210 lb ‘transgender woman’ to drive a school bus full of young kids? What could possibly go wrong?

Male bus driver who goes by ‘Ms Sharon’ charged with sexually abusing multiple boys

By Alex Oliveira | Sunday, October 5, 2025 | 2:27 PM EDT

A North Carolina school bus driver who calls himself “Ms. Sharon” has been charged with sexually assaulting several boys whom he lured to his house, cops say.

Leetwain Darrell Tate — a 48-year-old a male also known as just “Sharon” — was arrested Tuesday and charged with two counts of statutory rape and six counts of indecent liberties with a minor, according to Charlotte-Mecklenberg police.

He is accused of assaulting at least four boys age 14 and 15 years old, but officials said there could be more victims.

The children were found to be staying at his house, and one of them claimed Tate offered him money in return for sex, an arrest affidavit obtained by WCNC read.

The New York Post noted that the police said none of the ‘incidents’ occurred while Mr Tate was working for the school or on school property.

The WCCB news story doesn’t give us any more information than did the Post. Oddly enough, I was unable to find anything on this story in The New York Times, where they tell readers about All the News That’s Fit to Print.

The Charlotte Observer did report on the story, but of course the newspaper used the feminine pronouns to refer to Mr Tate. The Observer reported this:

In a letter to families about the allegations, Sugar Creek Charter School Superintendent Celeste Sundo said Tate met all of the necessary background requirements to get hired.

“All Sugar Creek Charter School candidates undergo a multi-step hiring process, including a national background check and reference checks, before an offer of employment is made,” Sundo said.

Yeah, that’s what the Des Moines board of education said about Ian Roberts, too, and look how that turned out! Apparently being a 5’7″ ‘transgender woman’ meets the ‘necessary background requirements’ for Mecklenburg County public schools! Normally when you hire crazy, you shouldn’t be surprised when you get crazy.
