The purpose of a system is what it does. Choices have been made for decades to cause decline, destruction, and death. We need to impeach and imprison judges who release violent criminals that kill innocents.
Charlie Kirk talks about this fact quite a bit and also makes some powerful points. Excellent points as usual, Ryan. The root causes of many of societies issues are centered around the destruction of the family unit and the lack of importance placed on its value.
Yes unfortunately many have faced backlash for this view. Fortunately we have a fairly large group who are recognizing the value and are not afraid to say so.
They don't really want a conversation, because all of the data shows that it's about culture and not race, and the former is far less politically useful.
I think we should never discount the impact of culture. Long ago I decided culture is everything, or almost everything in determining what a person becomes. I remember being in the wild areas of Kenya on a safari trip and coming across a local Masaai man standing by the side of the road wearing his typical red clothing (not much of it), red clay smeared and dried all over his head and arms, and holding a big 6 foot spear. And smiling. This is a guy who subsists on milk, meat, blood, fat, honey, and tree bark. The Masaai keep cows for the milk and blood and live in small mud huts. These men are tall and thin as a rail. His job was to be out herding his goats, walking around with that spear. I clearly remember musing about how if that same man had been born in Kenya as he was, but if he had been adopted as an infant by a person from America or Europe, for example, he would have been raised in a completely different culture and perhaps would have been highly educated and ended up as a bank president or a CEO of some company or a school teacher. But his specific culture determined his life's fate and kept him as he was and as I saw him. It had zero to do with his race, and I realized how the culture determined everything. If a little American boy somehow ended up in that Masaai culture, he would have been just like they were.
An interesting older film to watch is "Not Without My Daughter", the story of an American woman who married an Iranian man she met in college in the U.S. When they went back to Iran, he was like Jekyll and Hyde in how he reverted to his native cultural attitudes despite how "Westernized" he had seemed in America. I totally related to that film because I taught for 2 years in Tehran and worked with a young American woman who had similarly married a seemingly very Americanized Iranian in the U.S. and had 2 children with him. They went back to Iran for awhile, and then he decided he did not want to go back to the U.S. She was literally a prisoner there unless she decided to leave her children there with the husband and his family, because she could not leave with her children without the husband's permission. In fact, as a wife she could't leave either unless he permitted it. It was a horrible situation and I often wonder what became of her.
We used to have a joke that "you can take an Iranian out of Iran but you can't take Iran out of the Iranian. More specifically, that referred to Islamic behavior and beliefs. There were a lot of fantastic Iranians, but there were more than a few fanatical ones religiously speaking. Anyhow, to paraphrase what Clinton might say, "It's the culture, stupid."😆
There is religious precedent in their scriptures. While among the kaffir, if they outnumber you, behave as they do, even if it is haram (forbidden by Qu'ran and Hadith).
I simply don't agree. While culture does play a big role in this sort of behavior so does race. Nobody wants to admit this, even so-called conservatives. There is a lot of data out there that shows relative differences in IQ, impulse control, and other (even biological) differences between peoples. While I think it's great White people think they can take anyone in the world and "Westernize" them to our culture, they typically always choose something closer to their origin in the end. This is human nature. Love it or hate it, we need to acknowledge this.
1. Any supposed difference between groups of people are typically too small to explain differences in outcomes, even setting aside the issue of how to define "groups" in the first place.
2. Even when you control for race, there are massive differences in outcomes. Immigrants from Africa routinely outperform native-born Blacks in the US. Somehow, racism in the US is sophisticated enough to differentiate between immigrants and native born Blacks. Who could have known US racists were so discerning?
3. It's not a question of "Westernizing" anyone. Certain cultures value hard work, education, intelligence, self-reliance, and objective thinking. Others do not. The West doesn't have a monopoly on any of those factors.
I'm not sure how you can casually disqualify race as a factor at all. I understand this is not the politically-correct position to take these days, I'm uninterested in that and I'm going to give you the same benefit of the doubt.
For instance, you mention African vs American blacks and relative performance levels between the two. While what you say may be true what we should be able to agree on is Blacks, whether from the US or Africa, who have entirely different cultures, do very badly in respect to the other races and peoples on the planet.
Finally I'm not claiming Whites have a monopoly on anything. I'm aware Asian cultures typically apply the concepts you explain better than we do. BUT, Asian cultures aren't trying to let the entire third world into their countries and then wondering why the Hell their women are murdered for no reason while riding home on a train.
I'm not sure how you can casually qualify race as a factor, and my position has nothing to do with political correctness. It's based on data and history.
1. Jumping on race as the explanatory variable to explain differences in outcomes has been tried over and over again by people around the world. This is easy, convenient, and fatally flawed. Do you realize how many different groups across history at one point or another have claimed some sort of innate superiority for themselves, only for that claim to fall apart over time?
2. You still don't understand that race fails as an explanatory variable when people of the same race but with different cultural backgrounds have dramatically different outcomes in the same country. There are countless examples of this around the world, not just the US. For example, in Malaysia, the ethnic Chinese minority has far better outcomes then native Malays even though they are undeniably both Asian. An even stronger example is Italy, which has massive differences in outcomes between northern and southern Italians. You see the same pattern for Belgium when you look at Wallonia vs. Flanders. Race simply has very little predictive power vs. other variables when examining outcomes.
3. I have no idea why you are now arguing about immigration. This seems like a complete non sequitur - what has anything I posted have to do with that?
Agreed. And we, as a sovereign nation, have an absolute right to define our culture for ourselves—what we will and will not tolerate. We cannot tolerate recidivistic criminals, period.
This is very much related to the childhood vaccine schedule. Unfortunately, black people are disproportionately adversely affected by vaccines. Not making excuses. The criminality must be stopped. But so must the vaccines. They don't just cause autism. They can make you crazy.
I just saw that in one city (can't recall if it was Chicago or NY) 63 known perps had committed 5,000 crimes. A mere 63 people in a city of millions who had been previously apprehended multiple times and then released were behind most of the crime. If you average it out that's nearly 80 crimes per person. 80 crimes for which they were not held responsible. Undoubtedly fatherless boys & young men, boys raised by single women who had too many children without a father and live on welfare. It is often said that it's a relatively small group of criminals who keep the cities in chaos. The black family needs fixing, and many credible black people emphasize this, people like Thomas Sowell. Young black men in certain areas have zero good male role models.
Hopefully we're at a point (or at least near it) when these uncomfortable facts can be acknowledged and openly discussed in an effort to find workable solutions.
It starts in High School- the "restorative behavior" for young adults that assault a teacher and then are let go if he/she writes a one line apology and signs it...true story. Happened to my husband.
Incorrect. It starts in elementary school (at least in Nevada) where "restorative justice" requires that children remain in the classroom - in the general education setting - regardless of what they do. Even weapons and threats are given a pass.
Because, ya know, we can't deprive them of education, the poor children.
Nevermind the hundreds of other kids and faculty members being terrorized by their presence and <checks notes> disrupting THEIR education.
Fascinating how this is a thing, when I was NOT running in the hall, but other students ran past me - I was punished with them. For no offense at all - and their punishment (500 times writing "I will not run in the hall") outstripped their crime.
I've never heard a liberal actually explain what it means other than "don't punish the guy who murdered our friend who believed in restorative justice because it would tarnish her memory!"
Yes there can be that many stupid people. Look who they vote for again and again. Some friends of mine have gone to local protests. They are not paid. So many people have bought into the lies about Trump.
That's a sobering thought. There are those who view judges as elevated beings in terms of their judgments and therefore not to be questioned, and that needs to stop. Judges are just lawyers who often got appointed to their positions due to political alliances. Nothing more special than that. Perhaps it has always been somewhat so, but certainly in the past few years a great many judges seem to be mere political activists and hacks with the power to twist things to their political preference instead of trying to follow the actual laws.
I would also like to see judges' names and faces matched to the perps they let go free and accompanied by a detailing of the crimes those freed perps committed. This should be public knowledge.
It’s public record… someone could write the algorithm and put up a website with the facts only- Which Judge, which jurisdiction, The felons name and crimes convicted of and the dates crimes were committed, his/her current status and an image of both Judge & Felon. All public information. We could call it “the Shame site”
Perhaps the judge who releases a repeat violent offender who then goes on to commit a further violent crime should be tried alongside the criminal for aiding and abetting. That’s assuming the offender is ever actually tried for the crime. And if the offender manages to avoid trial, the judge should then be tried in his place.
Ah, heck … if the representative politician for that area voted for lax bail laws, add them to the trial too.
I have a feeling this option will be abused. Judges must be accountable and reviewed with professional penalties enacted more often than currently is the case.
I am speechless, but I will try to express my thoughts. So many system failures here. An innocent person comes to America for refuge and is murdered? What kind of civilization is this? Come on America. This murder should be the driving force behind all sorts of reforms. Let’s start with the broken families that if not fixed will perpetuate this into how long, eternity?
Before LBJ, the black family units were more numerous than whites’. The Kennedys deinstitutionalized mental illness causing chaos everywhere.
The education system in my estimation did not give up on minority students, they don’t educate them ON PURPOSE because they are racist to their core.
Our judicial system is so at fault for not locking up criminals so let’s start there. The last judge to let this guy off the hook needs to be removed because the judge is now a danger to the community.
Judicial Russian Roulette: you can let the felon go, but if he commits a murder after you let him go, you are removed from the bench AND disbarred. This will put doubt into the mind of every soft judge by focusing their attention on the only part of society they really care about - themselves!
Various people in the media have talked about how this guy was crazy and schizophrenic, but in the video you see him calmly walk down the train car and he was sane and aware enough to know he needed to remove that red sweatshirt to avoid being nabbed. He rose up from his seat suddenly as if possessed by rage, killed the girl, and then calmly walked away. Hard to believe such a thing could happen to that poor girl, or to anyone.
I just have to say I spent more time and trying to educate minority kids (and their parent (yes singular) or grandparent) so they didn't end up being sucked into gangs, drugs, etc. by extending my already long day with monitoring/coaching in after school programs (no pay) and visiting their homes. Every educator I knew for over 40 years fell into this category...
Side note: blacks in America were Republican until the welfare payments began somewhere in the 60’s. Black men stopped living at home and raising families because gov payments precluded that.
Yes, and before this era more black families were intact with a mother and father present than with white families. Since the 60's you have multi-generational welfare families.
The perps who are such prolific predators have their own hierarchy just like animals in the wild. Little boys and many girls think these ‘thugs are dope’. Surviving and making a name for himself on the street is just setting the credibility bar. They can delude your thinking by ‘talking crazy’ and shocking you with antisocial throwdown rap, but it’s just a game. A deadly serious game. People are just points of advantage or not. And the demons that enflame impulses don’t respect any bounds of encompassing social contract ‘wurf a damn’ anyway. The kind of respect known to people who understand gifts like ‘free agency’ and equal rights supporting equal opportunity are simply inversed in concept. It grows into a familiarity and preference for evil. If someone can inspire a touch of fear in these perps, they just take it as a hit of adrenaline.
It is a VICIOUS CYCLE. Extended by any grant of tolerance.
What can be said, though, when the highest civil and criminal courts in the land throw sand in the gears of our lawfully elected federal and state representatives? It's very clear that the SJW is alive and well in every American system. As Yuri says, the system is what it does. These systems select for the SJW with a grandiose sense of delivering justice on behalf of the benighted which, not coincidentally, makes them diametrically opposed to everything in this piece! Societal destruction is a feature, not a bug.
Because, we, as in "We the People," will never know any problems other than those inflicted upon us by the democrat&republican parties, which are corporations, and their politicians.
Hence,
"The only problem with our United States of America is the democrat&republican corporations the S4B moo-rons keep voting for."
According to a 2023 Department of Justice study, 76% of people sent to state prisons during tge period of 2009-2014 had five or more prior arrests, and 5% had 30 or more! And just in case you might think that most of those prior arrests were for nonviolent offenses, such as shoplifting or fraud, they weren’t. Fully 73% of them were for violent crimes up to and including murder. That’s for those convicted. Those arrested likely committed far more crimes for which they were never charged. FBI data suggest that only 1/3 of violent crimes are solved, and that almost 50% aren’t reported in the first place.
I highly suspect the numbers are the same here in Canada - if not worse due to the preponderance of Abbo offenders - but the numbers, and the consequences thereof, would be so toxic to the leadership of this country that they would hide in terror while calling everyone noticing a racist colonialist settler etc.
It’s why they keep proposing tough gun laws for duck hunters because otherwise they have to admit publicly that 98% of guns used in crime are smuggled in from the USA thru border reservations, lawless zones.
Sad but honestly, no other “Democratic” country on earth has adopted the US Constitution, and most of those base their systems upon Civil law, not English Common Law.
That one took me aback. I know we're in a "no offense" zone, but I have to say my heart stopped, and my breath dropped out. Conditioning? Perhaps. (somehow sand niggers less offensive? Oh our conditioning is interesting!)
Maybe it's that I see that pathos of that population, and it ain't getting better (Australia, too). Yeah, you see the loud ones making a stink on TV and in the courts, but the ones I see on the street are destitute (maybe why the loud ones are stinky?).
Honestly, NDN culture (the name they call themselves) may just want retribution. After all, we - um. Broke into their house and took it over. Maybe it's taking 200 years for them to catch us. This is not coming from some SJW place - more like a karmic balance place.
Maybe it's the NDN's I've gotten to know. You get what you deserve, and our culture might deserve some of their culture.
After all - SOMEONE asked these new cultures in, or allowed it, or dogwhistled, or whatever - but it happened. Was it us?
I love me some slang, epithets not so much. (again, eyes of the beholder, eh?)
I'm not slamming or dissing - just expressing an interesting response I experienced upon reading those words.
Here's an example to illustrate one thing that happens. Prop. 36 was passed in a landslide by California voters of both parties. It was stated like this: "Proposition 36, titled Allows Felony Charges and Increases Sentences for Certain Drug and Theft Crimes, was an initiated California ballot proposition and legislative statute that was passed by a landslide in the 2024 general election and went into effect in December 2024. The proposition repealed parts of Proposition 47, passed during the 2014 general election, and amends the state constitution to increase penalties and allow felony charges for certain crimes."
Well........it passed by a landslide, but guess what? Commie governor Gavin Newsom won't fund it, so despite the huge voter support it isn't being implemented. This is how the Democrats get around things: they won't give the funding. Meanwhile, Newsom's government has plenty of voter money for the homeless, for immigrants, for his boondoggle bullet train project that will never be finished.
"Critical race theory and critical legal theory - as it is currently taught and practiced in the West" are leading to the imminent demise of that society.
You may agree or disagree with Jordan Peterson but he got one thing right when he said that the Marxist capture of legal/criminology instruction in universities is the most frightening thing he had ever seen and the development with the most severe consequences for society.
Before he suffered a complete benzo breakdown and had to go to Russia where they'd give him the drugs to pull him out of it. (and yet, somehow, I think he still believes in psych drugs....) He was very ill when COVID came. Do you think he got jabbed?
I suspect he got one jab but it’s hard to say. Many of the doubter types still got one initially. Then they regretted it. He’s famous, scrutinized, and vulnerable so I doubt he’d get fake documents. I know Canadians who did in order to fly back to Canada.
Correct. Fight it. Word definitions matter. Notice this new breed of legal experts change the meanings of words like they change the meaning of the Constitution to suit the progressive movement (which by definition is mailable and ever moving.) Heck, 4 months after she passed, the “Notorious RBG” was deemed, “too conservative” in her rulings.
Ask why the leaders of the movement won’t give up their lush bank accounts. Why do they agree to drive cars, wear suits, fly in airplanes, accept payments, visit western hospitals, or eat most western style foods if they don’t believe in western culture? All these conveniences and institutions were invented by western civilization, usually white men.
If the person is honest they should stop appropriating and show some commitment.
Otherwise, how do we take their words seriously? It’s like the recent photo of Bernie, AOC, and Mondami. All 3 wearing western clothes, fat and happy with their millions, while telling you to redistribute your wealth and stop taking flights. Let’s grow a pair and loudly call it out. Until we do, the nonsense will continue.
Do it in the way Jordan Peterson teaches- be very thoughtful and polite. You just really know your stuff. History, the Law, the circumstances, yourself. Avoid using the word “you” and use instead the Socratic Method. You will frustrate them but they cannot say you are lobbing ad hominems. Instead of saying “you” use terms like “people who do this or that…”
Seeing awfls prostrating themselves and kissing the feet of anyone was the most sickening thing I've ever seen. These people need to be institutionalized with those they worship. Kissing their feet would be the nicest thing they could hope for.
yes, sometimes I feel guilty at being glad when I learn who the majority are who espouse and get abortions, or feel sorry for people whose mental incapacity or lack of ethics compel them to live as leeches on the streets, harming themselves and others, never relenting for a moment taking from others to live the worthless lives they choose, who believe criminals should be given more resources besides those they steal from others because "they can't help it", are choosing not to have children. Thank God that they don't! Maybe, after they've eliminated themselves, those of us who value a sane society can actually achieve it.
Since you cite a page from a Swedish study, maybe I could be allowed to point out a couple of things that may not be obvious to a foreign observer.
1) The data, as can be seen in the picture, is from 1973-2004 and concerns distribution of convictions for violent crimes for that period. Do note however that the population-sample used as a base is person born 1958-1980 (Sweden did not have youth prisons during 1973-2004, so only over-18s were sent to prison).
During the time-periods concerned, Sweden's population was 95%+ White. As in, 95% or more of the population were actual real Swedes. And as other studies have shown, non-White (esp. Negro and Arab, Afghan, Gypsy and mixed MENA origin) are over-represented by a factor 7 (averaging all the groups and types of crimes) when it comes to violent crime.
2) During the 1973-2004 period, violent crime rose sharply (relatively speaking - sharply for Sweden) and criminal gangs, including well-known biker gangs started to establish a presence during the late 1980s and early 1990s. This helped push numbers upwards, since the bikers had several "wars" over turf and the drug trade.
3) There's a subset of violent criminals not counted in this study (as far as I recall; caveats apply): the ones sentenced to indefiite incarceration in a max-sex psychiatric facility. Think cannibalis, serial rapists, and such. Since their crimes "counts as" mental illness, they do not appear in the data for the prison system, as psychiatric wards fall under the health care sector.
4) The legal definitions were changed several times during this period, as were how data were reported to publically available sources. However, as researchers the group that produced this study had access to the real data.
5) When one removes the violent crimes committed by non-Whites, what emerges is that the crime-rate for Sweden hasn't moved in any significant way or degree since the 1990s.
6) Sweden, just as previously White areas of the USA as well as South Africa and Rhodesia/Zimbabwe proves that one of the pre-conditions for a prosperous, lawful, trusting and peaceful society is a lack of Negros, Arabs et cetera.
A harsh, politically incorrect truth to libertarians as well as communists, but the empirical data is overwhelming, esp. if you take the rather luxurious levels of welfare-payments non-White migrants receive without having to do much more than say "asylum".
There's one path away from Doom&Gloom. And we all know it.
Any no. of the aforementioned groups above even 1/1000 of the White population will cause problems, regardless of their class, educational or similar comparable factors.
In the 1970s, Sweden stopped vetting migration from non-Nordic/Scandinavian nations and started accepting refugees (using the UN-definition and vetting system). After accepting a few thousand refugees from South America (mainly chileans and argentinians) and a few hundred kurds and palestinians, there was a marked uptick in violent crime, which eventually lead to the Palme-led Socialist Democrat government of the mid-1980s to enforce a full stop of accepting refugees and virtually all migrants from outside Europe.
I've always felt that if the progressive types encouraging all these immigrants to come into their countries could go live for awhile in the various immigrant countries of origin and see first hand how they live and what their societies are like, perhaps they would be less inclined to invite them into their own, very different countries and less likely to naively and ignorantly think "they're basically like us, they'll fit in." Sorry to burst the progressive mind bubble, but they are most definitely NOT like us in the western countries. People just can't fathom how very different they can be. And they will never assimilate.
You're a more charitable numan than I am, that's for sure. I do mean charitable, I'm not being sardonic or anything silly.
I've lived in a city that was more or less taken over around 2005, lived and worked in one of Sweden's top three worst areas, where fewer than 15% of the inhabitants were Swedes, trending towards zero.
It didn't cure me of anything, only confirmed my prejudice and book-learning.
However, I had lots and lots of Swedish colleagues, the majority* of them modern Swedish women of middle-to-upper-middle-class background (i.e. sheltered, pampered and privileged). Showing them data, or just showing them around, or even them working the same darkskin-controlled schools I worked at did nothing to change their views except for one thing:
They re-invented "the White man's burden" as "Our duty to uplift these poor people so they can be like us, its their right to be uplifted".
I've rarely heard such a racist - true, O.G. racism - statement even from actual bona fide National Socialists. But these liberal-progressive Duddley-do right goody-goody two-shoes AWFLs blurted it right out, and felt good about it.
It's an article of faith and they are fanatics, and as all fanatics that adhere not the spirit of their tenets but use those to rationalise and excuse their own Will, they simply adapt their interpretation so that their "faith" remains unmarred by reality.
*Ca 80% of teachers, using the average when combining all levels of education, are women. Hence almost all my colleagues being women.
I happen to know that even in the old days of the 1990’s, a petty thief in So Cal was let go 12 times before lengthy holding and prosecution became involved. My knowledge removed me from jury selection a few times.
The Neanderthals undoubtedly understood that you don't give a rabid creature even second chances.
You needn't hate it. It didn't choose to get infected by a fatal pathogen. But you can't let it roam loose in your neighborhood.
I had considerable experience with what the public school system does to little black boys. It's not their fault what too many have been made into. But once they succumb they aren't safe for anyone. By fifth grade it's over for them. There's no coming back to normalcy--even an abnormal sort of normalcy.
I'm probably more of a multicultural sort of gal than almost anyone here assembled. But as a born and raised (though now ex-) Noo Yawkuh who used public transportation and public streets all my life, I wasn't safe in even the nicest neighborhoods. Mugged three times, once with a gun shoved in my side. Brutally attacked for nothing, one time. Once encountered a super-sized masturbator on a subway platform.
If you show, once, that you cannot control yourself and behave as a minimally adult person who understands basic rules of how to behave towards others, we can assume with great accuracy that you behaved that way many times when you didn't come to official notice. It's not your first strike but merely the one we can arrest you for.
There is no cure for rabies once it takes hold. There is no cure. This is both a fact and a metaphorical description that is factual too.
It’s like defenders of Islam. Those females pigs wearing those black cloth garbages bags, are raising their boys to kill starting at two years old. How do you think that works out when they’re ten?
I've lived in a Muslim country and am very glad to be not living there now.
But you need to be honest. All Middle Eastern blood sacrifice cults are the same at heart. It's just that in the West we gradually reduced the authority of the Church until our rulers--hereditary or otherwise--became in most respects independent of it.
But we haven't in the least thrown off our passion for cults.
Cults which do not wish to eliminate the outside world are fine with me. Grown adults in the cult (ie Jehovahs Witnesses) can leave, or their families can work with FBI to get them out.
Remember the first thing Bill Clinton did upon inauguration was to bomb a cult house in Waco TX, “to save the children”- young kids who were of course inside the building and were likewise bombed. Btw…. The Bush family now owns the land.
In my view all religions are cults and all cults are the same. Climatism is a cult. Transgenderism is a cult and it draws from millennia of previous cults obsessed with transformation and transcendence via bodily mortification and mutilation. The saints of Catholicism have been notable enthusiasts for that.
There's nothing new about anything human beings do.
Well, Latter Day Saints pretty much is a cult- especially their 'Fundamentalist' offshoots. Evangelicals have their Seven Mountains theologies (which are scary AF) and many of those concrete bunkers for Jesus are run under cult principles. Catholocism often behaves in a cult like manner- any time you have people blindly following (and funding) specious, often harmful, philosophy under fear of disconnection from their community in this world and damnation in the next, they are probably in a cult.
There's something seriously wrong with a culture that produces mothers who are overjoyed that their sons (and sometimes daughters) blow themselves up for Islam. They are actually proud to be the mother of a "martyr". Sick.
Chronic offenders are reliable, repeat business for the legal communities, representing enforcement, prosecution, defense, detention, probation, and parole. Huge profit centers in government, the legal profession, and other third parties hired by/ paid for by government. Aka "The Machine." They make crime pay.
In 2025 I have felt the ramping up of insanity as a most likely schizophrenic dude stalked me for 15 minutes while threatening to kill me. The only thing that saved me is that I am a big athletic guy so he kept his distance. Every time I am around Vancouver crazy people walk by with insults and threats.
Solutions: Make Asylums Great Again. Violent crime should lead to long sentences whether first or third time. And habitual criminals need to be permanently locked up. No bail, no freedom when you take away the safety of others.
Or people need to make the criminal fear his victim. Then you get lawfare against legal gun owners going to jail for killing someone that’s attacking another need to be loosened. When a man no longer fears retribution for killing someone that’s attacking another and desperately deserves it, crime will go down. As it stands people are afraid to stand up. For fear of progressive lawfare. I’m old. That fear for me no longer exists.
I remember well the campaign against the mental institutions. The movie that accompanied it was ‘Chatahoochee’. I never watched it because it hit too close to home. Probably in the early 1930’s, twenty years before I was born, one of my daddy’s sisters had died there of pneumonia. And my mama’s baby sister was hospitalized there for long stretches at least twice during the 1950s and 60s. Both were victims of mean, uncaring husbands and the pressures of caring for multiple children.
It’s painful to think about, but we definitely need something in place for the care of mentally ill people. And there has to be a distinction between the criminally insane and those who simply can’t cope.
I agree, compassion - triage of some sort - but who triages the triagers?
I'm starting to think of this as a population based issue. Certainly, the more we let it, the more it goes on -
But - overcrowd mice & that's where it begins. On a population level, there will be forces in play to keep the herd thin. Look at the edges of the herd, as people fall off.
The problem here, is the ones striking out in the middle, thinning the herd at the centre.
I kind of understand what you’re saying about true causes. I believe that greed for money and power causes much of the misery in the world, but that comes from a darkness of the heart to which both rich and poor are susceptible.
From the time of the Fall from the Garden of Eden man has needed redemption and God has provided it in Biblical principles to live by. And when that was too much for so many, he provided Jesus to be a man among us and pay the price for our sins so that we can start fresh.
Living as God intended gives protection against the evil powerful, who would own us all. I am quite sure that in neither household in which my two aunts succumbed to ‘madness’ was there any welcome for the presence of God.
My own parents had circumstances as hard, or even harder, but they trusted God and made it through. Life here is so short. Eternity is forever.
We are externally oppressed and will be till the prophecized end. Internally, we can choose to be free as a bird.
We need mental institutions to provide relief and protection to those of us just trying to live our lives the best we can and desiring the same for others. There are certainly ways to audit and monitor to see that common sense and not cruelty is practiced.
...and those have been successful in past? The current system, and nearly all "mental health" systems have failed to prevent cruelty, and often promote it.
(ASIDE: It's not really "mental health" but emotional health)
The only "mental health" system that has ever had positive effects on clients/patients is the Quaker model.
Homes with gardens, set up for people in distress to rest & repair. No demands, people there to listen, and gradually, as improvement comes about, client/patient starts contributing in garden, house & kitchen.
Nearly all who participated in such a program - the episode was a one-off, they got better, they went back into society. No drugs. Just being heard & gentle work.
I’ll just say right now the violent ones need to be gone from our midst, not killing innocent people in numbers far too large to ignore. We don’t put up with killer bears or wolves or even killer dogs. So just because they look like people, we don’t have to make sure the beasts receive the best of care and be heartbroken at the thought of them suffering.
The emergency is for the innocent being wounded and murdered; not the crazies.
Also, to underline your broader point... people freaking out about blacks is kind of stupid. I'm around them all the time. The vast majority of them are no problem, and you can usually tell the ones that are a mile away. In the South, where I am, and where this guy is, blacks and whites are culturally pretty similar.
The problem is the idiot women who think we're punishing them collectively if there happen to be more black criminals that wind up in jail on involuntarily institutionalized, like this creature. They're screwing over the majority of sane blacks in a multitude of ways (less safe neighborhoods, expectations of lower behavior, causing black fatigue)...
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
The solution isn't more jails (they cost money and create misaligned incentives leading to unnecessary incarcerations; the politics of jails, prison guards, corruption, etc, is a mess).
Creating a safe therapeutic space for non-violent people with issues would be a net positive.
As for violent repeat offenders (3x etc), it would be better and cheaper to create an artificial island walled off from everyone, close off all communication to the outside world, do food drops from time to time, put everyone inside and let the laws of the jungle take care of themselves. It doesn't even need to be a huge space.
You can do away with capital punishment (the death penalty becomes a non issue).
Jail would be mandatory for 1st and 2nd conviction, same as rehabilitation, everyone deserves a second chance, a chance to clean up their act. Exceptions could be made for particularly heinous crimes.
But putting everyone in jail doesn't solve the problem. If anything, jails in the US have become a problem.
The goal should be to protect society in the cheapest and most effective method.
We would have less crowded prisons if we killed the ones on Death Row faster .... not hold them for twenty years. The 3 strikes should include lethal injection .... that would be a deterrent.
Personally I'm not in favor of Capital Punishment. The state is incapable of responsibly handling this type of power. History shows this solution has too many problems. Instead of trying again what's failed in the past, new solutions.
Jail should be about rehabilitation. With few exceptions, everyone deserves a second and third chance. And if you can't or don't want to be saved, go out to pasture and survive.
Society shouldn't bear the monetary cost of 20 years of incarcerating someone, nor the moral cost of killing someone.
Criminals have become so victimized that law enforcement is afraid to offend even life long felons. If you ever watch police arresting law breakers on the numerous videos on-line these days, it's not so much the lack of respect for the police that's disgusting, but the number of times the police have to give orders before taking action to make an arrest. If a police officer has to say "get out of the car" 15 times, we have a broken system. The level of accommodation we currently give to people who don't respect the law or law officers is mind boggling.
The feckless Charlotte NC mayor refers to the murderer as "unhoused" as though his having a house would solve everything. Even the word "unhoused" is offensive. Unemployed means you had a job and lost it, quite possibly through no fault of your own. Unemployment pay is for those who lost the jobs they had and are looking for another. We're supposed to view the "unhoused" like the unemployed and not like the addicts and insane who got that way through their own choices.
It can happen to anyone. Insanity. Poverty. Moral downfall. Trauma. One Step At A Time - or All At Once.
I'm fortunate there was no internet or OnlyFans when I was young & dumb. I made some hard path choices - and - weirdly, I'm better for them, in spite of the prices I have paid.
But I know how easily it is to slide to the edge until there's nothing left.
And - really - what's so great about our Satanic Mills? How many of us have the luxury of opting out BEFORE we go insane?
I was talking with a former local police officer. One of his last assignments before retirement was to look into these claims, under the Crimestoppers program.
Apparently, under this program, anyone who is harmed in a police action has a right to recompense, including crims. Apparently, one of those jailbird lawyer types did some research and collected a bunch of his mates in prison ("OY, he broke ma arm!") to sue for recompense.
So his job was to investigate these 30-some-odd claims to find anything out he could about the logs & duty officers & police cams, etc. to verify or deny these claims.
Yeah, the crims wanted paid (and their medical bills are paid already). He did manage to dismiss as many as possible - but they were as hard to dismiss as they were to prove.
Yes, our legal system is heavily slanted to protect the criminals. We like to pretend that bad actors aren't responsible for bad behavior. The elites will vote for these protective laws knowing that their own homes are fenced in and heavily secured.
If you are repeatedly “off your meds” and committing violent crimes then you need to be taken out of society. That can the humane, locked up in a loony bin for life way or the cheaper execution method, it doesn’t matter. But you are a danger to everyone around you no matter whether you are mentally competent or not
“prison is stigma" I was imprisoned when younger. I have come to see the lockup as the best thing that could have happened to me.
The stigma is bad, but much worse is the shame. How does one cope with shame? Too often denial - If a person does not admit and repent that they have done wrong, and instead EXCUSES (likely RESENTMENT based) it, they are likely to re-offend. A person tends to feel CLEVER about getting away with stuff, it's most likely that any convict has done much evil before getting caught. A cycle of ever worsening behavior is a frequent result, as the SHAME, EXCUSES , and STIGMA result in less social/ employment acceptability.
Fortunately, I was introspective enough to consider my own faults. I have a lot of thoughts about crime and punishment, too much for one comment. I seldom tell anyone about this, but it occurs to me I should post some articles on a substack about how budding criminals are likely to become worse if not taught better.
The other prisoners were mostly ordinary, not-so-bright but nice enough guys, with a large admixture of toxic manipulative types. I think a big reason I'm very anti-Democrat because their leadership reminds me so much of the toxic manipulative types. And I think most of the ordinary not-so-brights (much like democrat voters) I met in lockup were probably there because they were manipulated into evil by guys who were clever enough to not get caught.
Interesting perspective. You should definitely write more about it. Especially fascinating is your characterization of the Democrats as toxic manipulative types. I can definitely see that in their behavior.
The purpose of a system is what it does. Choices have been made for decades to cause decline, destruction, and death. We need to impeach and imprison judges who release violent criminals that kill innocents.
I've been waiting for 30 years to have the "conversation" all these racist say they want.
The problem has not been defined by politicians, etc., and therefore solutions are impossible.
Let me tell you exactly what the problem is without any reforms:
Black males between the ages of ~15 and ~40.
So that would be ~2% of our population that commits two thirds of all crimes. The sad thing is, a large portion of the crime is black on black.
That's the conversation. And that's why you're called a racist if you point out facts.
This shits easy.
Charlie Kirk talks about this fact quite a bit and also makes some powerful points. Excellent points as usual, Ryan. The root causes of many of societies issues are centered around the destruction of the family unit and the lack of importance placed on its value.
Yep! And way back when, Moynihan, a liberal, wrote of the destruction of the family, he was called a racist by his fellow travelers.
Yes unfortunately many have faced backlash for this view. Fortunately we have a fairly large group who are recognizing the value and are not afraid to say so.
Keeping it REAL is never racist… bad actors just call it racist because their only retort is to deflect…
They don't really want a conversation, because all of the data shows that it's about culture and not race, and the former is far less politically useful.
I think we should never discount the impact of culture. Long ago I decided culture is everything, or almost everything in determining what a person becomes. I remember being in the wild areas of Kenya on a safari trip and coming across a local Masaai man standing by the side of the road wearing his typical red clothing (not much of it), red clay smeared and dried all over his head and arms, and holding a big 6 foot spear. And smiling. This is a guy who subsists on milk, meat, blood, fat, honey, and tree bark. The Masaai keep cows for the milk and blood and live in small mud huts. These men are tall and thin as a rail. His job was to be out herding his goats, walking around with that spear. I clearly remember musing about how if that same man had been born in Kenya as he was, but if he had been adopted as an infant by a person from America or Europe, for example, he would have been raised in a completely different culture and perhaps would have been highly educated and ended up as a bank president or a CEO of some company or a school teacher. But his specific culture determined his life's fate and kept him as he was and as I saw him. It had zero to do with his race, and I realized how the culture determined everything. If a little American boy somehow ended up in that Masaai culture, he would have been just like they were.
An interesting older film to watch is "Not Without My Daughter", the story of an American woman who married an Iranian man she met in college in the U.S. When they went back to Iran, he was like Jekyll and Hyde in how he reverted to his native cultural attitudes despite how "Westernized" he had seemed in America. I totally related to that film because I taught for 2 years in Tehran and worked with a young American woman who had similarly married a seemingly very Americanized Iranian in the U.S. and had 2 children with him. They went back to Iran for awhile, and then he decided he did not want to go back to the U.S. She was literally a prisoner there unless she decided to leave her children there with the husband and his family, because she could not leave with her children without the husband's permission. In fact, as a wife she could't leave either unless he permitted it. It was a horrible situation and I often wonder what became of her.
We used to have a joke that "you can take an Iranian out of Iran but you can't take Iran out of the Iranian. More specifically, that referred to Islamic behavior and beliefs. There were a lot of fantastic Iranians, but there were more than a few fanatical ones religiously speaking. Anyhow, to paraphrase what Clinton might say, "It's the culture, stupid."😆
There is religious precedent in their scriptures. While among the kaffir, if they outnumber you, behave as they do, even if it is haram (forbidden by Qu'ran and Hadith).
And woe betide them when you outnumber them.
I simply don't agree. While culture does play a big role in this sort of behavior so does race. Nobody wants to admit this, even so-called conservatives. There is a lot of data out there that shows relative differences in IQ, impulse control, and other (even biological) differences between peoples. While I think it's great White people think they can take anyone in the world and "Westernize" them to our culture, they typically always choose something closer to their origin in the end. This is human nature. Love it or hate it, we need to acknowledge this.
1. Any supposed difference between groups of people are typically too small to explain differences in outcomes, even setting aside the issue of how to define "groups" in the first place.
2. Even when you control for race, there are massive differences in outcomes. Immigrants from Africa routinely outperform native-born Blacks in the US. Somehow, racism in the US is sophisticated enough to differentiate between immigrants and native born Blacks. Who could have known US racists were so discerning?
3. It's not a question of "Westernizing" anyone. Certain cultures value hard work, education, intelligence, self-reliance, and objective thinking. Others do not. The West doesn't have a monopoly on any of those factors.
I'm not sure how you can casually disqualify race as a factor at all. I understand this is not the politically-correct position to take these days, I'm uninterested in that and I'm going to give you the same benefit of the doubt.
For instance, you mention African vs American blacks and relative performance levels between the two. While what you say may be true what we should be able to agree on is Blacks, whether from the US or Africa, who have entirely different cultures, do very badly in respect to the other races and peoples on the planet.
Finally I'm not claiming Whites have a monopoly on anything. I'm aware Asian cultures typically apply the concepts you explain better than we do. BUT, Asian cultures aren't trying to let the entire third world into their countries and then wondering why the Hell their women are murdered for no reason while riding home on a train.
I'm not sure how you can casually qualify race as a factor, and my position has nothing to do with political correctness. It's based on data and history.
1. Jumping on race as the explanatory variable to explain differences in outcomes has been tried over and over again by people around the world. This is easy, convenient, and fatally flawed. Do you realize how many different groups across history at one point or another have claimed some sort of innate superiority for themselves, only for that claim to fall apart over time?
2. You still don't understand that race fails as an explanatory variable when people of the same race but with different cultural backgrounds have dramatically different outcomes in the same country. There are countless examples of this around the world, not just the US. For example, in Malaysia, the ethnic Chinese minority has far better outcomes then native Malays even though they are undeniably both Asian. An even stronger example is Italy, which has massive differences in outcomes between northern and southern Italians. You see the same pattern for Belgium when you look at Wallonia vs. Flanders. Race simply has very little predictive power vs. other variables when examining outcomes.
3. I have no idea why you are now arguing about immigration. This seems like a complete non sequitur - what has anything I posted have to do with that?
Very good point.
Precise and pithy
Agreed. And we, as a sovereign nation, have an absolute right to define our culture for ourselves—what we will and will not tolerate. We cannot tolerate recidivistic criminals, period.
This is very much related to the childhood vaccine schedule. Unfortunately, black people are disproportionately adversely affected by vaccines. Not making excuses. The criminality must be stopped. But so must the vaccines. They don't just cause autism. They can make you crazy.
This needs studying: IQ, mental health, vaccines, race/ psychosocial (cultural) factors.
I just saw that in one city (can't recall if it was Chicago or NY) 63 known perps had committed 5,000 crimes. A mere 63 people in a city of millions who had been previously apprehended multiple times and then released were behind most of the crime. If you average it out that's nearly 80 crimes per person. 80 crimes for which they were not held responsible. Undoubtedly fatherless boys & young men, boys raised by single women who had too many children without a father and live on welfare. It is often said that it's a relatively small group of criminals who keep the cities in chaos. The black family needs fixing, and many credible black people emphasize this, people like Thomas Sowell. Young black men in certain areas have zero good male role models.
Hopefully we're at a point (or at least near it) when these uncomfortable facts can be acknowledged and openly discussed in an effort to find workable solutions.
The concept of restorative justice should be thrown into the trash bin of history.
It starts in High School- the "restorative behavior" for young adults that assault a teacher and then are let go if he/she writes a one line apology and signs it...true story. Happened to my husband.
Incorrect. It starts in elementary school (at least in Nevada) where "restorative justice" requires that children remain in the classroom - in the general education setting - regardless of what they do. Even weapons and threats are given a pass.
Because, ya know, we can't deprive them of education, the poor children.
Nevermind the hundreds of other kids and faculty members being terrorized by their presence and <checks notes> disrupting THEIR education.
Also can't deprive the school of the money-per-kid it counts on.
Nahhhhhh that can't be it.
🙄
Fascinating how this is a thing, when I was NOT running in the hall, but other students ran past me - I was punished with them. For no offense at all - and their punishment (500 times writing "I will not run in the hall") outstripped their crime.
Oh, those were simpler times!
I've never heard a liberal actually explain what it means other than "don't punish the guy who murdered our friend who believed in restorative justice because it would tarnish her memory!"
Where has the Pentateuch gone? Our legal system was founded on Moses’ words brought down from Mt Sinai.
We at minimum need to expose these leftist judges
Enough is enough already
More than expose.
They are literally a clear and present danger to our safety.
Think about it, ONE judge could easily allow 100+ of these thugs to go free per year.
They are a bigger threat than this crazy guy.
Its not often 1 person kills 100... But a single judge could easily be responsible for 100+ deaths during their tenure on the bench.
Here in Illinois they have codified no cash bail in law. A guy cut up a woman and stuffed her in a barrel and he was out the day after.
Chicago keeps voting for the same dysfunction that pulls the rest of the state down. There were big anti Trump/Ice protests this weekend.
Paid protesters mean nothing
Let's hope most were- I mean there can't be that many really stupid people in Chicago, can there be?
Never underestimate the stupidity (and power) of the mob.
Yes there can be that many stupid people. Look who they vote for again and again. Some friends of mine have gone to local protests. They are not paid. So many people have bought into the lies about Trump.
Yes there are
Didn’t the money for paid protesters dry up when USAID was shut down? Not convinced they’re paid.
Soros still has billions I’m sure he’s funding a lot of this malfeasance vs using USAID taxpayer cash
Election fraud is my guess.
That too
That's a sobering thought. There are those who view judges as elevated beings in terms of their judgments and therefore not to be questioned, and that needs to stop. Judges are just lawyers who often got appointed to their positions due to political alliances. Nothing more special than that. Perhaps it has always been somewhat so, but certainly in the past few years a great many judges seem to be mere political activists and hacks with the power to twist things to their political preference instead of trying to follow the actual laws.
I would also like to see judges' names and faces matched to the perps they let go free and accompanied by a detailing of the crimes those freed perps committed. This should be public knowledge.
It’s public record… someone could write the algorithm and put up a website with the facts only- Which Judge, which jurisdiction, The felons name and crimes convicted of and the dates crimes were committed, his/her current status and an image of both Judge & Felon. All public information. We could call it “the Shame site”
Excellent idea
Until a victims family can sue a judge for reckless behavior, nothing will change
Perhaps the judge who releases a repeat violent offender who then goes on to commit a further violent crime should be tried alongside the criminal for aiding and abetting. That’s assuming the offender is ever actually tried for the crime. And if the offender manages to avoid trial, the judge should then be tried in his place.
Ah, heck … if the representative politician for that area voted for lax bail laws, add them to the trial too.
But then, I jest … sort of … not really …
And whoever pays their bail… if there is one smdh
I have a feeling this option will be abused. Judges must be accountable and reviewed with professional penalties enacted more often than currently is the case.
Let's abuse it some, and then walk it back after a few of these judges end up in federal prison with their fellow murderers.
What’s needed is to imprison Judges with the ‘general prison population.’ No fines to get out of it - and the examples will speak for themselves.
Yes.
I am speechless, but I will try to express my thoughts. So many system failures here. An innocent person comes to America for refuge and is murdered? What kind of civilization is this? Come on America. This murder should be the driving force behind all sorts of reforms. Let’s start with the broken families that if not fixed will perpetuate this into how long, eternity?
Before LBJ, the black family units were more numerous than whites’. The Kennedys deinstitutionalized mental illness causing chaos everywhere.
The education system in my estimation did not give up on minority students, they don’t educate them ON PURPOSE because they are racist to their core.
Our judicial system is so at fault for not locking up criminals so let’s start there. The last judge to let this guy off the hook needs to be removed because the judge is now a danger to the community.
Judicial Russian Roulette: you can let the felon go, but if he commits a murder after you let him go, you are removed from the bench AND disbarred. This will put doubt into the mind of every soft judge by focusing their attention on the only part of society they really care about - themselves!
Various people in the media have talked about how this guy was crazy and schizophrenic, but in the video you see him calmly walk down the train car and he was sane and aware enough to know he needed to remove that red sweatshirt to avoid being nabbed. He rose up from his seat suddenly as if possessed by rage, killed the girl, and then calmly walked away. Hard to believe such a thing could happen to that poor girl, or to anyone.
He was having a conversation of some sort with himself. But that may not have been just his imaginary friend - more like thinking out loud?
Excellent idea.
Apparently the judge owns a local ‘treatment center’ so there may be a financial incentive for releasing criminals in play here.
You have to be kidding me!
Sadly, no. This has been on X for a couple of days with no dissenting Community Notes.
I just have to say I spent more time and trying to educate minority kids (and their parent (yes singular) or grandparent) so they didn't end up being sucked into gangs, drugs, etc. by extending my already long day with monitoring/coaching in after school programs (no pay) and visiting their homes. Every educator I knew for over 40 years fell into this category...
Not just black kids.
But the non-black kids didn't get hammered in every direction by the message "you're OWED" and "you CAN skate."
guess that all started after I retired...thankfully... I helped anyone who needed my help- fed and clothed many non-minorities too!
They are constantly told they are victims of the white man.
Cynical, er Critical Theory. (Cynical Theory = good book, but a little hard for the non-academic)
True. True.
Part and parcel of the Transnationals attack on this country.
And Welfare.
Welfare has completely wrecked black families. 76% of black children don't know (or have dead beat) their father.
The longer welfare goes on the more crime happens.
Look at the % of intact families overtime and crime rates.
There's an inverse relationship. A disturbing one; but entirely predictable.
Side note: blacks in America were Republican until the welfare payments began somewhere in the 60’s. Black men stopped living at home and raising families because gov payments precluded that.
Say thank you Mr Johnson. The great society… what a joke. He even said, give them welfare and they will be voting democrat forever.
that goes back to Lincoln & Civil War. After the war it was Dems who raped & pillaged in the South, driving still more to the Reps.
That's history though. We ain't Tories. We ain't Republicans nor are we Democrats. We're a new thing.
Yes, and before this era more black families were intact with a mother and father present than with white families. Since the 60's you have multi-generational welfare families.
These recommendations are only a good start.
The perps who are such prolific predators have their own hierarchy just like animals in the wild. Little boys and many girls think these ‘thugs are dope’. Surviving and making a name for himself on the street is just setting the credibility bar. They can delude your thinking by ‘talking crazy’ and shocking you with antisocial throwdown rap, but it’s just a game. A deadly serious game. People are just points of advantage or not. And the demons that enflame impulses don’t respect any bounds of encompassing social contract ‘wurf a damn’ anyway. The kind of respect known to people who understand gifts like ‘free agency’ and equal rights supporting equal opportunity are simply inversed in concept. It grows into a familiarity and preference for evil. If someone can inspire a touch of fear in these perps, they just take it as a hit of adrenaline.
It is a VICIOUS CYCLE. Extended by any grant of tolerance.
Full stop.
You're right
Capital punishment.
Federal funding of remedial education ensures students never succeed beyond it.
What can be said, though, when the highest civil and criminal courts in the land throw sand in the gears of our lawfully elected federal and state representatives? It's very clear that the SJW is alive and well in every American system. As Yuri says, the system is what it does. These systems select for the SJW with a grandiose sense of delivering justice on behalf of the benighted which, not coincidentally, makes them diametrically opposed to everything in this piece! Societal destruction is a feature, not a bug.
Burn. It. Down.
"Deconstruction" is the official word of the Ideology....
I don’t understand these judges who even let child rapists or pornographers off with a slap on the wrist. How do they sleep at night?
They appear to be quite secure in the correctness of their beliefs.
They are accessories to the malfeasance.
Impale
You all just don't get it...
The only problem with our United States of America is the democrat&republican corporations the S4B moo-rons keep voting for.
So, here you all are playing, "my party is better than your party" game like the mooing S4B's always obediently do.
congrats
What is the solution to the one problem?
The solution is to get rid of the unconstitutional democrat&republican parties.
Read my book..."The Separation of Corporation and State" subtitled "Common Sense and the Two-Party Crisis," available on Amazon.
The only problem? 😂
Nice deflection...
Deflecting what?
Implying one of many problems. Not “the” problem. Why is that a problem? 😂
Because, we, as in "We the People," will never know any problems other than those inflicted upon us by the democrat&republican parties, which are corporations, and their politicians.
Hence,
"The only problem with our United States of America is the democrat&republican corporations the S4B moo-rons keep voting for."
You don’t believe the responsibility lies with the people for voting them in?
When friends of mine complain about how bad the American presidential debates are…. I just reply that if Americans demanded better we’d get better.
You left out "execute"...
Critical race theory and critical legal theory - as it is currently taught and practiced in the West - must die a quick death.
Look how sickening this is:
According to a 2023 Department of Justice study, 76% of people sent to state prisons during tge period of 2009-2014 had five or more prior arrests, and 5% had 30 or more! And just in case you might think that most of those prior arrests were for nonviolent offenses, such as shoplifting or fraud, they weren’t. Fully 73% of them were for violent crimes up to and including murder. That’s for those convicted. Those arrested likely committed far more crimes for which they were never charged. FBI data suggest that only 1/3 of violent crimes are solved, and that almost 50% aren’t reported in the first place.
What else could you expect?
I highly suspect the numbers are the same here in Canada - if not worse due to the preponderance of Abbo offenders - but the numbers, and the consequences thereof, would be so toxic to the leadership of this country that they would hide in terror while calling everyone noticing a racist colonialist settler etc.
Probably so. I suspect those numbers are far worse now than during the study which only analyzed 2009 through 2014
Yes, they shit the bed at anything native.
It’s why they keep proposing tough gun laws for duck hunters because otherwise they have to admit publicly that 98% of guns used in crime are smuggled in from the USA thru border reservations, lawless zones.
Also because they don’t want anyone looking to see what the Founders actually intended. Guns were not ensured as a 2A right, because “hunting.”
Thats a usa thing, we have no rights in canada
Sad but honestly, no other “Democratic” country on earth has adopted the US Constitution, and most of those base their systems upon Civil law, not English Common Law.
Abbo = sand niggers?
Natives, aboriginals
That one took me aback. I know we're in a "no offense" zone, but I have to say my heart stopped, and my breath dropped out. Conditioning? Perhaps. (somehow sand niggers less offensive? Oh our conditioning is interesting!)
Maybe it's that I see that pathos of that population, and it ain't getting better (Australia, too). Yeah, you see the loud ones making a stink on TV and in the courts, but the ones I see on the street are destitute (maybe why the loud ones are stinky?).
Honestly, NDN culture (the name they call themselves) may just want retribution. After all, we - um. Broke into their house and took it over. Maybe it's taking 200 years for them to catch us. This is not coming from some SJW place - more like a karmic balance place.
Maybe it's the NDN's I've gotten to know. You get what you deserve, and our culture might deserve some of their culture.
After all - SOMEONE asked these new cultures in, or allowed it, or dogwhistled, or whatever - but it happened. Was it us?
I love me some slang, epithets not so much. (again, eyes of the beholder, eh?)
I'm not slamming or dissing - just expressing an interesting response I experienced upon reading those words.
Natives would have a short run of success in canada if they decided to attack but they are outnumbered at least 25-1
Here's an example to illustrate one thing that happens. Prop. 36 was passed in a landslide by California voters of both parties. It was stated like this: "Proposition 36, titled Allows Felony Charges and Increases Sentences for Certain Drug and Theft Crimes, was an initiated California ballot proposition and legislative statute that was passed by a landslide in the 2024 general election and went into effect in December 2024. The proposition repealed parts of Proposition 47, passed during the 2014 general election, and amends the state constitution to increase penalties and allow felony charges for certain crimes."
Well........it passed by a landslide, but guess what? Commie governor Gavin Newsom won't fund it, so despite the huge voter support it isn't being implemented. This is how the Democrats get around things: they won't give the funding. Meanwhile, Newsom's government has plenty of voter money for the homeless, for immigrants, for his boondoggle bullet train project that will never be finished.
Yes. It is now obvious and undeniable that it is either them or us.
I choose us.
"Critical race theory and critical legal theory - as it is currently taught and practiced in the West" are leading to the imminent demise of that society.
You may agree or disagree with Jordan Peterson but he got one thing right when he said that the Marxist capture of legal/criminology instruction in universities is the most frightening thing he had ever seen and the development with the most severe consequences for society.
Don't agree with everything Peterson says - but he certainly got this one right!
I completely agree with the old, feisty JP before he joined Daily Wire.
Before he suffered a complete benzo breakdown and had to go to Russia where they'd give him the drugs to pull him out of it. (and yet, somehow, I think he still believes in psych drugs....) He was very ill when COVID came. Do you think he got jabbed?
He did, in order to travel & speak.
logical. So he still hasn't woken up to Pharma, just the price he paid for benzos....
And - as a psychologist, he loves his boxes and labels & diagnonsense, too.
I suspect he got one jab but it’s hard to say. Many of the doubter types still got one initially. Then they regretted it. He’s famous, scrutinized, and vulnerable so I doubt he’d get fake documents. I know Canadians who did in order to fly back to Canada.
81% of Canadians took at least 1.
After hearing Mikaila's recent reports, I think he did get jabbed. His health is suffering.
Correct. Fight it. Word definitions matter. Notice this new breed of legal experts change the meanings of words like they change the meaning of the Constitution to suit the progressive movement (which by definition is mailable and ever moving.) Heck, 4 months after she passed, the “Notorious RBG” was deemed, “too conservative” in her rulings.
Challenge it.
Ask why the leaders of the movement won’t give up their lush bank accounts. Why do they agree to drive cars, wear suits, fly in airplanes, accept payments, visit western hospitals, or eat most western style foods if they don’t believe in western culture? All these conveniences and institutions were invented by western civilization, usually white men.
If the person is honest they should stop appropriating and show some commitment.
Otherwise, how do we take their words seriously? It’s like the recent photo of Bernie, AOC, and Mondami. All 3 wearing western clothes, fat and happy with their millions, while telling you to redistribute your wealth and stop taking flights. Let’s grow a pair and loudly call it out. Until we do, the nonsense will continue.
I listened to a Sufi scholar who said it best: it's a useful lens to observe society but its adherents always demand an ocular transplant.
You can blame white people for kneeling to another human being...a career thug (George Floyd).
I WILL NEVER KNEEL TO ANYONE. NEVER.
Do it in the way Jordan Peterson teaches- be very thoughtful and polite. You just really know your stuff. History, the Law, the circumstances, yourself. Avoid using the word “you” and use instead the Socratic Method. You will frustrate them but they cannot say you are lobbing ad hominems. Instead of saying “you” use terms like “people who do this or that…”
Seeing awfls prostrating themselves and kissing the feet of anyone was the most sickening thing I've ever seen. These people need to be institutionalized with those they worship. Kissing their feet would be the nicest thing they could hope for.
It’s Darwinism. They’re self-deleting in other ways.
yes, sometimes I feel guilty at being glad when I learn who the majority are who espouse and get abortions, or feel sorry for people whose mental incapacity or lack of ethics compel them to live as leeches on the streets, harming themselves and others, never relenting for a moment taking from others to live the worthless lives they choose, who believe criminals should be given more resources besides those they steal from others because "they can't help it", are choosing not to have children. Thank God that they don't! Maybe, after they've eliminated themselves, those of us who value a sane society can actually achieve it.
Only if we demand a change to the laws and social benefits.
Right. Social benefits to afford those who prefer being paid leeches must come to an end!
Hopefully they keep reproducing below replacement rate.
Im just fine if they go extinct
Same here!
tl;dr-version: Enoch Powell was right.
Longer version:
Since you cite a page from a Swedish study, maybe I could be allowed to point out a couple of things that may not be obvious to a foreign observer.
1) The data, as can be seen in the picture, is from 1973-2004 and concerns distribution of convictions for violent crimes for that period. Do note however that the population-sample used as a base is person born 1958-1980 (Sweden did not have youth prisons during 1973-2004, so only over-18s were sent to prison).
During the time-periods concerned, Sweden's population was 95%+ White. As in, 95% or more of the population were actual real Swedes. And as other studies have shown, non-White (esp. Negro and Arab, Afghan, Gypsy and mixed MENA origin) are over-represented by a factor 7 (averaging all the groups and types of crimes) when it comes to violent crime.
2) During the 1973-2004 period, violent crime rose sharply (relatively speaking - sharply for Sweden) and criminal gangs, including well-known biker gangs started to establish a presence during the late 1980s and early 1990s. This helped push numbers upwards, since the bikers had several "wars" over turf and the drug trade.
3) There's a subset of violent criminals not counted in this study (as far as I recall; caveats apply): the ones sentenced to indefiite incarceration in a max-sex psychiatric facility. Think cannibalis, serial rapists, and such. Since their crimes "counts as" mental illness, they do not appear in the data for the prison system, as psychiatric wards fall under the health care sector.
4) The legal definitions were changed several times during this period, as were how data were reported to publically available sources. However, as researchers the group that produced this study had access to the real data.
5) When one removes the violent crimes committed by non-Whites, what emerges is that the crime-rate for Sweden hasn't moved in any significant way or degree since the 1990s.
6) Sweden, just as previously White areas of the USA as well as South Africa and Rhodesia/Zimbabwe proves that one of the pre-conditions for a prosperous, lawful, trusting and peaceful society is a lack of Negros, Arabs et cetera.
A harsh, politically incorrect truth to libertarians as well as communists, but the empirical data is overwhelming, esp. if you take the rather luxurious levels of welfare-payments non-White migrants receive without having to do much more than say "asylum".
There's one path away from Doom&Gloom. And we all know it.
This is a brutal truth that is truly factual.
Thank you for these details. I would argue that there is a tipping point involved.
Certainly is:
Any no. of the aforementioned groups above even 1/1000 of the White population will cause problems, regardless of their class, educational or similar comparable factors.
In the 1970s, Sweden stopped vetting migration from non-Nordic/Scandinavian nations and started accepting refugees (using the UN-definition and vetting system). After accepting a few thousand refugees from South America (mainly chileans and argentinians) and a few hundred kurds and palestinians, there was a marked uptick in violent crime, which eventually lead to the Palme-led Socialist Democrat government of the mid-1980s to enforce a full stop of accepting refugees and virtually all migrants from outside Europe.
I've always felt that if the progressive types encouraging all these immigrants to come into their countries could go live for awhile in the various immigrant countries of origin and see first hand how they live and what their societies are like, perhaps they would be less inclined to invite them into their own, very different countries and less likely to naively and ignorantly think "they're basically like us, they'll fit in." Sorry to burst the progressive mind bubble, but they are most definitely NOT like us in the western countries. People just can't fathom how very different they can be. And they will never assimilate.
You're a more charitable numan than I am, that's for sure. I do mean charitable, I'm not being sardonic or anything silly.
I've lived in a city that was more or less taken over around 2005, lived and worked in one of Sweden's top three worst areas, where fewer than 15% of the inhabitants were Swedes, trending towards zero.
It didn't cure me of anything, only confirmed my prejudice and book-learning.
However, I had lots and lots of Swedish colleagues, the majority* of them modern Swedish women of middle-to-upper-middle-class background (i.e. sheltered, pampered and privileged). Showing them data, or just showing them around, or even them working the same darkskin-controlled schools I worked at did nothing to change their views except for one thing:
They re-invented "the White man's burden" as "Our duty to uplift these poor people so they can be like us, its their right to be uplifted".
I've rarely heard such a racist - true, O.G. racism - statement even from actual bona fide National Socialists. But these liberal-progressive Duddley-do right goody-goody two-shoes AWFLs blurted it right out, and felt good about it.
It's an article of faith and they are fanatics, and as all fanatics that adhere not the spirit of their tenets but use those to rationalise and excuse their own Will, they simply adapt their interpretation so that their "faith" remains unmarred by reality.
*Ca 80% of teachers, using the average when combining all levels of education, are women. Hence almost all my colleagues being women.
I think just have them go live there permanently.
Why do they get three strikes? I don't wait for my kid to misbehave three times before punishing him.
Do it once shame in you, do it twice shame me.
Isn’t that a saying that’s been kicked around for decades? Centuries?
Sometimes 1 or 2 strikes is more than enough, sometimes 4 might not be that bad. You might think a judge would possess the ability to apply judgment.
I happen to know that even in the old days of the 1990’s, a petty thief in So Cal was let go 12 times before lengthy holding and prosecution became involved. My knowledge removed me from jury selection a few times.
The Neanderthals undoubtedly understood that you don't give a rabid creature even second chances.
You needn't hate it. It didn't choose to get infected by a fatal pathogen. But you can't let it roam loose in your neighborhood.
I had considerable experience with what the public school system does to little black boys. It's not their fault what too many have been made into. But once they succumb they aren't safe for anyone. By fifth grade it's over for them. There's no coming back to normalcy--even an abnormal sort of normalcy.
I'm probably more of a multicultural sort of gal than almost anyone here assembled. But as a born and raised (though now ex-) Noo Yawkuh who used public transportation and public streets all my life, I wasn't safe in even the nicest neighborhoods. Mugged three times, once with a gun shoved in my side. Brutally attacked for nothing, one time. Once encountered a super-sized masturbator on a subway platform.
If you show, once, that you cannot control yourself and behave as a minimally adult person who understands basic rules of how to behave towards others, we can assume with great accuracy that you behaved that way many times when you didn't come to official notice. It's not your first strike but merely the one we can arrest you for.
There is no cure for rabies once it takes hold. There is no cure. This is both a fact and a metaphorical description that is factual too.

It’s like defenders of Islam. Those females pigs wearing those black cloth garbages bags, are raising their boys to kill starting at two years old. How do you think that works out when they’re ten?
I've lived in a Muslim country and am very glad to be not living there now.
But you need to be honest. All Middle Eastern blood sacrifice cults are the same at heart. It's just that in the West we gradually reduced the authority of the Church until our rulers--hereditary or otherwise--became in most respects independent of it.
But we haven't in the least thrown off our passion for cults.
Cults which do not wish to eliminate the outside world are fine with me. Grown adults in the cult (ie Jehovahs Witnesses) can leave, or their families can work with FBI to get them out.
Remember the first thing Bill Clinton did upon inauguration was to bomb a cult house in Waco TX, “to save the children”- young kids who were of course inside the building and were likewise bombed. Btw…. The Bush family now owns the land.
All cults are the same.
Many would call Latter Day Saints, Catholicism, and Evangelical Christians a cult. It’s debatable.
In my view all religions are cults and all cults are the same. Climatism is a cult. Transgenderism is a cult and it draws from millennia of previous cults obsessed with transformation and transcendence via bodily mortification and mutilation. The saints of Catholicism have been notable enthusiasts for that.
There's nothing new about anything human beings do.
Well, Latter Day Saints pretty much is a cult- especially their 'Fundamentalist' offshoots. Evangelicals have their Seven Mountains theologies (which are scary AF) and many of those concrete bunkers for Jesus are run under cult principles. Catholocism often behaves in a cult like manner- any time you have people blindly following (and funding) specious, often harmful, philosophy under fear of disconnection from their community in this world and damnation in the next, they are probably in a cult.
There's something seriously wrong with a culture that produces mothers who are overjoyed that their sons (and sometimes daughters) blow themselves up for Islam. They are actually proud to be the mother of a "martyr". Sick.
Chronic offenders are reliable, repeat business for the legal communities, representing enforcement, prosecution, defense, detention, probation, and parole. Huge profit centers in government, the legal profession, and other third parties hired by/ paid for by government. Aka "The Machine." They make crime pay.
This is so true! The Hegelian dialectic in full swing. Create a problem. Offer a solution. Repeat forever. To fix it would turn off the money spigot.
And how many of their services are corporatised?
Perhaps this is a corporate, not political drive.
Follow the money.
The problem is so clear.
In 2025 I have felt the ramping up of insanity as a most likely schizophrenic dude stalked me for 15 minutes while threatening to kill me. The only thing that saved me is that I am a big athletic guy so he kept his distance. Every time I am around Vancouver crazy people walk by with insults and threats.
Solutions: Make Asylums Great Again. Violent crime should lead to long sentences whether first or third time. And habitual criminals need to be permanently locked up. No bail, no freedom when you take away the safety of others.
Or people need to make the criminal fear his victim. Then you get lawfare against legal gun owners going to jail for killing someone that’s attacking another need to be loosened. When a man no longer fears retribution for killing someone that’s attacking another and desperately deserves it, crime will go down. As it stands people are afraid to stand up. For fear of progressive lawfare. I’m old. That fear for me no longer exists.
I remember well the campaign against the mental institutions. The movie that accompanied it was ‘Chatahoochee’. I never watched it because it hit too close to home. Probably in the early 1930’s, twenty years before I was born, one of my daddy’s sisters had died there of pneumonia. And my mama’s baby sister was hospitalized there for long stretches at least twice during the 1950s and 60s. Both were victims of mean, uncaring husbands and the pressures of caring for multiple children.
It’s painful to think about, but we definitely need something in place for the care of mentally ill people. And there has to be a distinction between the criminally insane and those who simply can’t cope.
Is it insane to be mad if the world is crazy?
I agree, compassion - triage of some sort - but who triages the triagers?
I'm starting to think of this as a population based issue. Certainly, the more we let it, the more it goes on -
But - overcrowd mice & that's where it begins. On a population level, there will be forces in play to keep the herd thin. Look at the edges of the herd, as people fall off.
The problem here, is the ones striking out in the middle, thinning the herd at the centre.
I kind of understand what you’re saying about true causes. I believe that greed for money and power causes much of the misery in the world, but that comes from a darkness of the heart to which both rich and poor are susceptible.
From the time of the Fall from the Garden of Eden man has needed redemption and God has provided it in Biblical principles to live by. And when that was too much for so many, he provided Jesus to be a man among us and pay the price for our sins so that we can start fresh.
Living as God intended gives protection against the evil powerful, who would own us all. I am quite sure that in neither household in which my two aunts succumbed to ‘madness’ was there any welcome for the presence of God.
My own parents had circumstances as hard, or even harder, but they trusted God and made it through. Life here is so short. Eternity is forever.
We are externally oppressed and will be till the prophecized end. Internally, we can choose to be free as a bird.
We need mental institutions to provide relief and protection to those of us just trying to live our lives the best we can and desiring the same for others. There are certainly ways to audit and monitor to see that common sense and not cruelty is practiced.
...and those have been successful in past? The current system, and nearly all "mental health" systems have failed to prevent cruelty, and often promote it.
(ASIDE: It's not really "mental health" but emotional health)
The only "mental health" system that has ever had positive effects on clients/patients is the Quaker model.
Homes with gardens, set up for people in distress to rest & repair. No demands, people there to listen, and gradually, as improvement comes about, client/patient starts contributing in garden, house & kitchen.
Nearly all who participated in such a program - the episode was a one-off, they got better, they went back into society. No drugs. Just being heard & gentle work.
The same can not be said of institutions.
I’ll just say right now the violent ones need to be gone from our midst, not killing innocent people in numbers far too large to ignore. We don’t put up with killer bears or wolves or even killer dogs. So just because they look like people, we don’t have to make sure the beasts receive the best of care and be heartbroken at the thought of them suffering.
The emergency is for the innocent being wounded and murdered; not the crazies.
Isn't Omni Man evil?
Also, to underline your broader point... people freaking out about blacks is kind of stupid. I'm around them all the time. The vast majority of them are no problem, and you can usually tell the ones that are a mile away. In the South, where I am, and where this guy is, blacks and whites are culturally pretty similar.
The problem is the idiot women who think we're punishing them collectively if there happen to be more black criminals that wind up in jail on involuntarily institutionalized, like this creature. They're screwing over the majority of sane blacks in a multitude of ways (less safe neighborhoods, expectations of lower behavior, causing black fatigue)...
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
(Is. 3:12)
The solution isn't more jails (they cost money and create misaligned incentives leading to unnecessary incarcerations; the politics of jails, prison guards, corruption, etc, is a mess).
Creating a safe therapeutic space for non-violent people with issues would be a net positive.
As for violent repeat offenders (3x etc), it would be better and cheaper to create an artificial island walled off from everyone, close off all communication to the outside world, do food drops from time to time, put everyone inside and let the laws of the jungle take care of themselves. It doesn't even need to be a huge space.
You can do away with capital punishment (the death penalty becomes a non issue).
Jail would be mandatory for 1st and 2nd conviction, same as rehabilitation, everyone deserves a second chance, a chance to clean up their act. Exceptions could be made for particularly heinous crimes.
But putting everyone in jail doesn't solve the problem. If anything, jails in the US have become a problem.
The goal should be to protect society in the cheapest and most effective method.
We would have less crowded prisons if we killed the ones on Death Row faster .... not hold them for twenty years. The 3 strikes should include lethal injection .... that would be a deterrent.
Personally I'm not in favor of Capital Punishment. The state is incapable of responsibly handling this type of power. History shows this solution has too many problems. Instead of trying again what's failed in the past, new solutions.
Jail should be about rehabilitation. With few exceptions, everyone deserves a second and third chance. And if you can't or don't want to be saved, go out to pasture and survive.
Society shouldn't bear the monetary cost of 20 years of incarcerating someone, nor the moral cost of killing someone.
Don't worry, they're working on the nanobots to fix everyone's brains without prison.
We have known for centuries that a very larger percentage of all crimes are committed by a very small percentage of the populace.
We have tens of thousands of examples.
But we chose to close the asylums, and stop prosecuting, or even investigating most crime.
Cultural suicide?
Criminals have become so victimized that law enforcement is afraid to offend even life long felons. If you ever watch police arresting law breakers on the numerous videos on-line these days, it's not so much the lack of respect for the police that's disgusting, but the number of times the police have to give orders before taking action to make an arrest. If a police officer has to say "get out of the car" 15 times, we have a broken system. The level of accommodation we currently give to people who don't respect the law or law officers is mind boggling.
The feckless Charlotte NC mayor refers to the murderer as "unhoused" as though his having a house would solve everything. Even the word "unhoused" is offensive. Unemployed means you had a job and lost it, quite possibly through no fault of your own. Unemployment pay is for those who lost the jobs they had and are looking for another. We're supposed to view the "unhoused" like the unemployed and not like the addicts and insane who got that way through their own choices.
There, but for the Grace of God, go I.
It can happen to anyone. Insanity. Poverty. Moral downfall. Trauma. One Step At A Time - or All At Once.
I'm fortunate there was no internet or OnlyFans when I was young & dumb. I made some hard path choices - and - weirdly, I'm better for them, in spite of the prices I have paid.
But I know how easily it is to slide to the edge until there's nothing left.
And - really - what's so great about our Satanic Mills? How many of us have the luxury of opting out BEFORE we go insane?
I was talking with a former local police officer. One of his last assignments before retirement was to look into these claims, under the Crimestoppers program.
Apparently, under this program, anyone who is harmed in a police action has a right to recompense, including crims. Apparently, one of those jailbird lawyer types did some research and collected a bunch of his mates in prison ("OY, he broke ma arm!") to sue for recompense.
So his job was to investigate these 30-some-odd claims to find anything out he could about the logs & duty officers & police cams, etc. to verify or deny these claims.
Yeah, the crims wanted paid (and their medical bills are paid already). He did manage to dismiss as many as possible - but they were as hard to dismiss as they were to prove.
Yes, our legal system is heavily slanted to protect the criminals. We like to pretend that bad actors aren't responsible for bad behavior. The elites will vote for these protective laws knowing that their own homes are fenced in and heavily secured.
If you are repeatedly “off your meds” and committing violent crimes then you need to be taken out of society. That can the humane, locked up in a loony bin for life way or the cheaper execution method, it doesn’t matter. But you are a danger to everyone around you no matter whether you are mentally competent or not
most violence is ON the meds, or recently off them (in withdrawal). Not off the meds.
The meds are heavily related to violence. You can start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqYQcWpSQM0
But I have a hundred more sources if you like.
Just another way medicine and politics have altered the Humanity of Humans.
Fair. I am aware of some of the withdrawal issues
“prison is stigma" I was imprisoned when younger. I have come to see the lockup as the best thing that could have happened to me.
The stigma is bad, but much worse is the shame. How does one cope with shame? Too often denial - If a person does not admit and repent that they have done wrong, and instead EXCUSES (likely RESENTMENT based) it, they are likely to re-offend. A person tends to feel CLEVER about getting away with stuff, it's most likely that any convict has done much evil before getting caught. A cycle of ever worsening behavior is a frequent result, as the SHAME, EXCUSES , and STIGMA result in less social/ employment acceptability.
Fortunately, I was introspective enough to consider my own faults. I have a lot of thoughts about crime and punishment, too much for one comment. I seldom tell anyone about this, but it occurs to me I should post some articles on a substack about how budding criminals are likely to become worse if not taught better.
The other prisoners were mostly ordinary, not-so-bright but nice enough guys, with a large admixture of toxic manipulative types. I think a big reason I'm very anti-Democrat because their leadership reminds me so much of the toxic manipulative types. And I think most of the ordinary not-so-brights (much like democrat voters) I met in lockup were probably there because they were manipulated into evil by guys who were clever enough to not get caught.
Interesting perspective. You should definitely write more about it. Especially fascinating is your characterization of the Democrats as toxic manipulative types. I can definitely see that in their behavior.
