UPDATED: Poignant Crime-&-Punishment Comments From Dr. Petit

Crime, Criminal Injustice, GUNS, Individual Rights, Justice, Law, Private Property

“Closure is a term invented by imbeciles” was one. I offered a precis of this particularly heinous case of home invasion (“all burglars are home invaders”) in the post, “You’re The First Line Of Defense For Your Family.” Even better were the biblical, ten-commandments comments of Dr. Petit’s father-in-law, which are not yet online (please send them along if you find them).

UPDATE: “Jennifer Hawke-Petit’s father, Reverend Richard Hawke, told reporters, ‘There are just some people who do not deserve to live in God’s world,’ in reaction to the death penalty sentencing.” Via Inside Edition.

It would be a great blessing if one of the Petit relatives or friends took up self-defense and Second-Amendment activism. Someone very close to me in South Africa watched two men enter his home on a Sunday afternoon, when the family was beside the pool, relaxing. He saw his wife flee, as in slow-motion. He rushed to the safe, where the gun had been kept. Then aimed at the invaders and yelled, “Get the hell out of my home.” They fled like the cowards they were. From then on, this man has carried his piece on his ankle. (The family also needed therapy.)

The sadistic letter the Connecticut killer and rapist Joshua Komisarjevsky wrote from prison makes clear that this is just what he and his accomplice, Steven Hayes (placed on death row today), needed.

Just Another Injustice

Constitution, Crime, Criminal Injustice, Justice, Law

* “Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said in an interview published on Sunday that he believes the Pentagon could be behind a rape accusation against him that was later dropped by Swedish prosecutors.”

Exactly my thoughts.

* CONRAD BLACK. “The U.S. Supreme Court had asked the appellate panel in Chicago to reconsider the 2007 jury finding [against Conrad Black] in light of the high court’s June decision to limit the federal ‘honest services’ fraud statute to instances of bribery and kickbacks not present in the Black case,” reports Bloomberg.com.

Better late than never.

From “Crucifying Conrad (Black)”: “The SEC operates on an unconstitutional ex post facto basis; its victims have no way of foreseeing or controlling how vague law will be bent and charges changed in the course of seeking the desired prosecutorial outcome.

Propelling the SEC are politically voracious prosecutors. Aided by George Bush’s latest legislative abomination—the Sarbanes-Oxley Act—they can pursue any business executive as long as a lay jury can be convinced the unfortunate chap intended to mislead or stiff shareholders. This is as easy as pie, given the common man’s affinity for wealth creators. As America’s regulators run out of entrepreneurs to eliminate, so they seek fodder from among foreign investors, hence Black.”

* Justice Department Überbloodhound Patrick Fitzgerald is the worm who used the full power of the state to pursue Black, and now Blago, Gov. Milorad Blagojevich (Fitzgerald has many more scalps under his judicial belt, involving abuse of power, such as the Lewis Libby prosecution). The latter may not be a pleasant person, but I doubt he has done anything that is naturally elicit: “The prosecution has failed to show that the Blagojeviches did anything more than shoot the breeze.”

Updated: ‘Nothing Is Going To Happen To Me, Man’

Crime, Criminal Injustice, Ethics, IMMIGRATION, Law, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Morality

Those were the immortal words of an inebriated illegal alien who rear ended an ass, State Rep. Mike Moran of Brighton (Boston), in what is described as a “serious car crash.”

Welcome to our world.

It’s a shame illegal aliens and terrorists invariably impact ordinary Americans only and not their political overlords. The ability of the political class to segregate itself and its progeny from the vagaries of every-day-life has a lot to do with the Us Vs. Them policies under which their subjects labor.

The illegal aliens’ response is a perfectly logical one. All natural-born predators respond in this way to the left-liberal, progressive worldview that perverts and pervades the society around them (from its laws to its child rearing practices).

“Comprehensive immigration reform” type “solutions” to trespass and other domestic terrorism practiced by non-honkies are nothing but euphemisms for no legal enforcement, no consequences such as deportation, and little inconvenience.

The end result of such positive reinforcement of bad behavior is, invariably, an ugly, corrupt country, one in which, by legal decree, the righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.

Progressive policies lead to a regressive society.

UPDATE (May 24): “Jury hands down 1st conviction in Newark illegal alien gang massacre,” writes Michelle Malkin, who’s always top-notch on the invasion issue.

Read Ms. Malkin’s entire report of this crime, one among a critical mass of murders committed by illegals. The details read like crimes in South Africa, down to the machete action to severe and disfigure.

Here’s the tale of a rapist, whose repeat record of crimes against Americans entitled him to a Catch-and-Release visa granted by the Traitor Class.

And a “Serial drunk driver. Countless trips through the revolving door. Immigration status ignored. Now, a four-year-old girl dead. Her mother and brother hospitalized.”

The salient point in these many reports is the progressive laws that prohibit law enforcement from ascertaining whether the individual is in the country illegally.

Arizona’s law allows questioning about an individual’s immigration status only pursuant to a brush with the law. It’s a little late after a little cherub such as this one is dispatched to the next world by the detritus of humanity.

YOU TOO CHANDRA LEVY? What do you know? While the mindless media steered the investigation into the disappearance of CL in the direction of some hapless, middle-class man, the second most famous intern in the US might have been murdered by an import, a habitual rapist—and a recipient of the catch-and-release visa. Just the sort of individual who was the object of the late Levy’s pity and Democratic activism.

Mighty Malkin is similarly relentless in tracking rancher Robert Krentz’s murder (mention his dog, if you want Chris Matthews or Maddow to take an interest).

Onward Imperialism In Okinawa

Crime, Criminal Injustice, Foreign Policy, Military

America has been waiting for this for months, says the Economist:

“Japan’s leader, does not exude political gravitas. So it was dispiritingly in-character that when he made an announcement on May 4th that could make or break his premiership, he did so on a national holiday, speaking unpersuasively to the very people most likely to disapprove of what he said.

The bombshell he dropped on his first visit as prime minister to the island of Okinawa was that he was backtracking on what has become the most sensitive promise of last year’s election campaign—to move an American marine base off the island and possibly out of Japan altogether.

His explanation, as far as it went, made sense, though it took a painfully long time to reach. After long deliberation, the prime minister said, he had concluded that the security of a region with a nuclear-armed, reckless North Korea depends, in part, on having some American marines in Okinawa. But instead of seizing the opportunity to explain to Okinawans how American troops help keep the peace, he referred to the soldiers dismissively as a “burden” that had to be shared by Okinawans.”

American occupation has been quite the burden to bear, especially for one 12-year-old 6th-grade Japanese girl, beaten and raped in 1995 by American GIs. Thirteen years hence two more women that we know of paid a similar price.
