More ‘Random’ Racial Attacks

Google Lakim Faust. No major American news outlet pops up on the search other than The Examiner’s report, which tells it like it is: “Indictments: Black man shot four whites because of race.” Next is CBS Crimesider, which covers up for Lakim Faust with the usual lame non sequitur: “A man who investigators think shot four people near a Greenville Wal-Mart appears to have planned the shooting but picked out his victims at random. …

Investigators haven’t found any links between Faust and the four victims, Aden said at a news conference. But evidence gathered during a search of Faust’s home appears to show he had some plan for the attack and wanted to shoot a number of people

Because no “links between Faust and the four victims” were identified—it is inferred that the motive for murder could not have been racial. This is classic backward reasoning.

In “Dropped Into The Black Hole Of Disinformation,” I traced this exculpatory illogic offered up by the Spokane Police with respect to the murder of WWII veteran Delbert Belton:

Mark Griffiths, another genius from the Spokane Police, seconded that “there was no indication that [the 88-year-old WWII veteran] would have known these people prior to the assault.” Ergo, the motive was robbery.
In non sequitur land, strangers do not harbor hate, and criminals do not multitask—in other words, never do they rob people while simultaneously acting out their darkest desires. (And, by logical extension, the Nazis, who killed millions of strangers, could not have been motivated both by hate and greed.)

The Examiner now features a “black on white crime” search chronicling what the liberal and libertarian media refuse to chronicle:

Black teen admits killing white man because he ‘had a hard day’
Second suspect arrested in beating death of Spokane veteran
Facebook: Picture of suspect wanted in murder of Spokane vet violates standards
New Black Panther leader: Hunt down and kill white people
Spokane police looking for black males in beating death of World War II veteran
Spokane remembers murdered WW2 veteran Delbert Belton in candlelight vigil, memorial fund set up
Senseless black on white crime…and NO outrage from ‘supposed’ black leaders
DHS employee’s website: ‘We are going to have to kill a lot of whites’

UPDATE II: Dropped Into The Black Hole Of Disinformation

Crime, Criminal Injustice, Media, Objectivism, Race, Racism, Reason

“Dropped Into The Black Hole Of Disinformation” is the latest column, now on WND. Some excerpts:

“There is no clear motive for why the murder happened,” a CNN reporter chanted robotically, in what has been for as long as I can remember SOP (standard operating procedure) in major media. Whenever a black murders a white—which is four times more often than the reverse—the salient features of the crime disappear into a black hole of disinformation.

By salient features I mean, in the main, information pertaining to the skin color of the perpetrator and victim, and the extraordinary brutality with which the villain typically goes about exterminating his victim.

Overkill is the word I’m looking for.

Observe the face of hate (Curtis Lavelle Vance’s) and the object of Vance’s hatred, news anchor Anne Pressly, of blessed memory. Then read the details of Vance’s assault on Pressly. Pressly’s pale, pretty face Vance pounded to an unrecognizable pulp. The killer aimed, very plainly, to annihilate her.

All too often submerged as well is the exquisite vulnerability of victims of unrecognized racial hatred.

Of this particular stark element, however, it was impossible to strip the murder of baby Antonio Santiago. …

… Trust the police in the evergreen and always pinko state to finesse the murder of a white veteran [Delbert Belton, 88, from Spokane, in Wash] by blacks with assurances that it was “a random attack.” Robbery was the sole motive in Belton’s murder.

These assurances were offered up by Spokane Police Chief Frank Straub. Not that anyone in the pinko state and beyond paused to ask, but why, if the beating of Belton was motivated by greed or need only, did the perpetrators proceed to pulverize grandpa’s face with “big heavy flashlights”?

Elementary, my dear Watson.

The boys in blue from the pink state may not be there to defend you when your turn comes, but they can be trusted to ennoble your killers.

The old man, explained the stupid Straub, “fought back against his attackers, and that may have contributed to the severity of the beating his received.”

Do you get Straub’s drift? Unless they state otherwise, goons of color harbor only the purest of motives when gunning for honky.

Since he was being interviewed by national media, Straub quickly expressed his commitment not to protecting Spokane residents from such killers, but to “institu[ting] a mentoring program” for the likes of Delbert Belton’s killers.

Mark Griffiths, another genius from the Spokane Police, seconded that “there was no indication that [the 88-year-old WWII veteran] would have known these people prior to the assault.” Ergo, the motive was robbery.

In non sequitur land, strangers do not harbor hate, and criminals do not multitask—in other words, never do they rob people while simultaneously acting out their darkest desires. (And, by logical extension, the Nazis, who killed millions of strangers, could not have been motivated both by hate and greed.)

Au contraire. “These people” – the barbarians who blattered the veteran who’d survived the Battle of Okinawa – knew quite a bit about Belton … by the color of his skin.

As did Mona Yvette Nelson “know” Jonathan Paul Foster was The One she would kidnap, torture and torch. Nelson “knew” Foster from … his fair, white skin and red hair. …

Ilana, you are a national treasure. I have forwarded this to my contacts, as I almost always do. It is quite a coincidence that I had only hours ago sent you the fictional “letter” from the little boy who was shot in the face (murdered) because he and his mother were white.

UPDATE II: Oprah’s An Idiot (Hatred Imbibed With Mother’s Milk)

Celebrity, Crime, Law, Media, Race, Racism, Reason

Oprah Winfrey, who has been silent about the shooting of Sherry West’s 13-month old baby—and all of the other most common hate crimes (for, “In the real America, interracial violence is overwhelmingly black-on-white”)—was vocal in comparing the slaying, in self-defense, of Treyvon Martin (black) by George Zimmerman (Hispanic) to the grisly murder of Emmett Till by whites in Mississippi, over half a century ago (1955).

Let Professor Jonathan Turley, a liberal civil libertarian, tutor Oprah in the facts of the State of Florida v. George Zimmerman.

• While many have criticized Zimmerman for following Martin, citizens are allowed to follow people in their neighborhood.
• It was also lawful for Zimmerman to be armed.
• The question comes down to who started the fight and whether Zimmerman was acting in self-defense.
• Various witnesses said Martin was on top of Zimmerman and said they believed that he was the man calling for help. Zimmerman had injuries. Not serious injuries but injuries from the struggle. …
• A juror could not simply assume Zimmerman was the aggressor. After 38 prosecution witnesses, there was nothing more than a call for the jury to assume the worst facts against Zimmerman without any objective piece of evidence. That is the opposite of the standard of a presumption of innocence in a criminal trial.

Above all, Travyon Martin was not tortured. Rather, as overwhelming evidence showed, Martin might have been planning on doing the torturing himself.

A MUST READ: “Oprah and Five Racial Double Standards” By Jack Kerwick.

UPDATE I: FACEBOOK THREAD: Oprah didn’t trivialize the death of ET; she was wrong on the facts and the logic, ergo an idiot. People just love feeling good about themselves by weeping forever over crimes that happened decades ago and have no relevance today, other than to keep alive the racial “grievance industry.”

UPDATE II (8/27): Hatred Imbibed With Mother’s Milk. (Via Robert Glisson on Facebook.)

Question: What mother trusts her baby to this lot? One raised by your typical, white, liberal-minded American, who believes that because she harbors no racial animus; others feel the same. Fine. Be stupid. But why toy with your tot?

UPDATED (May 7, 2021): GOP Tit-For-Tat Twits

Argument, Barack Obama, Democrats, Feminism, Gender, Individualism Vs. Collectivism, Reason, Republicans

No, the president does not have to weigh in on sexual scandals. Why should he? (Besides, Obama seems a bit of a prude. That’s good.) If you objected to Obama’s sermon on Trayvon (I did), but think he should weigh in on Weiner, on what grounds do you deny him his Trayvon intervention? I like it when the president puts a lid on it.

The empaneled bimbos on Fox News—where do they find such dumb women? CNN?—have been outshouting each other to protest the president’s silence on the sexual transgressions of The Weiner and the possible criminal misconduct of The Filner.

The arguments the Democratic and Republican factions advance exist on a continuum. There is no qualitative difference between them. Right now, both Republican and Democratic women seem to agree that everyone, including the president, has to be in full-throated protest mode about those who violate the “isms” in the manual of political correctness.

True individualists would never even dignify the category of “sexual harassment.” Touching someone as Filner did without consent is an assault. It doesn’t matter if the assaulted is man, woman, or someone in-between.

But Republicans are as dazed and confused as the rival gang, reducing wrong-doing to these PC “isms,” and partaking in the silly tit-for-tat: “No, you’re a sexist, I’m not. No, Democrats are racists; we’re the party of Lincoln.” Blah-blah. Pathetic.

Republicans have now turned around and are using the “sexism” and war on women bugbear to try and gain a political advantage. Ridiculous. How ridiculous? Silly enough to make JAY CARNEY that broken clock that is right twice a day:

I understand the allure of issues like this in the media, but it is not what — and I do understand it, and I’m not being critical of it. But I’m saying that the President believes his job is not to comment on those issues, …

UPDATE (8/3/013): Huge concession to Fred Cummins, on Facebook: OK, Fred, most, not all, the women on Fox are terribly dense, loud bimbos. I’ve documented that extensively. Exceptions? Gretta on Fox and EMac on Fox Biz, as well as Gerri Willis and Melissa Francis. I’m not far off.
