Why do ‘progressives’ want to protect criminals?

I can at least understand people who want to help illegal immigrants who have not broken any non-immigration-related laws, but who on God’s earth would want to protect the criminals? Well, apparently the Democrats do! From the New York Post, with a hat tip to William Teach:

NYC’s sanctuary DAs ordered prosecutors to downgrade charges to keep illegal immigrants in US, House GOP report finds

By Josh Christenson and Thomas English | Monday, October 26, 2026 | 6:55 PM EDT

WASHINGTON — New York City’s elected Democratic district attorneys are bending over backwards to keep illegal immigrants in the US, instructing prosecutors to downgrade charges to those considered “a non-deportable offense,” according to a stunning House Judiciary Committee report shared with The Post.

It sounds fair to me! Life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus 25 to 36 more years for other crimes!

“It’s not fair,” the convicted murderer said, after he was sentenced! To me, the only unfair thing is that not all murderers are sentenced the way he was.

A jury found Miguel Salguero-Olivares guilty of first-degree murder, rape, sexual offense and burglary in the 2012 killing of Faith Hedgepeth, a UNC-Chapel Hill student and North Carolina native. He faces multiple sentences, including life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The mugshot of James Huff, 41, is the latest from the Fayette County Detention Center, but the website shows four previous mugshots for this fine gentleman. Apparently Mr Huff has a problem staying out of trouble.

Lt. Ross Collins, of the Lexington Police Department, said a suspect was detained in Jessamine County.

Later Friday night, the Lexington police announced the arrest of the suspect, James Huff, 41, who was charged with first-degree assault — domestic violence, tampering with physical evidence and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. Continue reading →

You in a heap o’ trouble, girl! Why do they always look like this?

The victim’s mother found out about the suspect’s (alleged) attempts at grooming a minor girl for sex, tried to get it stopped, yet she (allegedly) continued anyway.

That thing that never happens has happened again

We have been saying this for a while now, and it seems that every passing day reaffirms the truth of it: if a person is, in the characterization by Colonel Batguano in Dr Strangelove, a “deviated prevert” in one thing, the probabilities that he will be a pervert in something else are very high.

Woman accused of sexually abusing minor during North Fort Myers house showing

by Layza Pinero Resto | Thursday, October 8, 2026 | 1:13 PM EDT

NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. — Deputies with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office arrested a woman accused of inappropriately touching an underage victim during a house showing.

Note that the Gulf Coast News referred to the suspect as a woman, and uses the feminine pronouns in reference to him further down in the story, but the suspect, one Uriel Santiago Perez, is actually male, and is so listed in the police report. Continue reading →

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy! Potential brain surgeon had a very serious brain fart

Barak Steelmon, mugshot by Madison County Detention Center, and is a public record, via Busted!

There is no publicly available information on what course of study Barak Steelmon was pursuing at the University of Kentucky, but I suspect that if he was attempting to become a rocket scientist or brain surgeon, if the allegations against him are true, he might need to consider a less intellectually demanding field. From the Lexington Herald-Leader:

Killadelphia I would be shocked if Larry Krasner sought the death penalty for a cop-killer

My Philadelphia friends are going to be upset, but it seems that cop-killer Eric Lewis is already setting the stage for a reduced charge of third-degree murder or even manslaughter. From The Philadelphia Inquirer:

How a brief conversation on a West Philadelphia porch left one officer dead, and another seriously wounded

Eric Lewis has been charged with the murder of Officer Shane Seiber, and the attempted murder of 10 other police officers.

by Jillian Kramer, Ellie Rushing, Jesse Bunch, and Brett Sholtis | Sunday, October 11, 2026 | 10:57 AM EDT | Updated: 6:02 PM EDT

Officer Shane Seiber was knocking on the door of a West Philadelphia home around 12:50 a.m. Saturday when Eric Lewis walked up from behind, demanding to know why police were on his porch, according to a law enforcement source.

Believe it or not, the newspaper actually included Mr Lewis mugshot in their article, though I used Philly Crime Update’s tweet on the story to post his current mugshot, to avoid any copyright issues. Continue reading →

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 →
