Reparations for Wally!

In the past I have used the term "reparations shopping" to descreibe the shoplifting, theft and looting for which "mostly people protesters" and others are forgiven by guilt-ridden liberals, on the grounds that they (the looters) are "entitled" to some compensation for wrongs done to their ancestors in the distant past.

I mentioned the concept of reparations again last week in "National Be-nice-to-an-Indian Day", WWW 30/9/22. "All right-thinking, progressive (and White) Canucks -- and Americans too -- know that the indigenous peoples of North America were treated badly by the settlers who came across the big waters in their big canoes. Mistakes were made. Apologies have been tendered again and again. All that's needed now is... errr... reparations."

Scott Adams, whose excellent Dilbert comic strip has been dropped by 77 newspapers because he dared to make fun of racial and sexual identities, picked up on the theme in today's strip, in which Attorney Dogbert demands reparations for his client Wally. Walt (no relation to Wally, although there's a certain resemblance) hopes Mr Adams won't mind our reposting it.

UPDATED: "Allahu akbar!" at Boulder?

Here are the bare bones of this horrendous story. 

Yesterday in Boulder, Colorado, a gunman entered a King Sooper supermarket and shot dead ten (10) people, including one policeman. 

Boulder police had now identified the sole suspect, taken into custody after being wounded, as Ahmad Al Aliwi Al Issa, pictured at left. 

Police have not released a motive. Nor have they said anything about the suspect's nationality, ethnicity, status in the USA or religion. 

Whether or not they will divulge any of this information is uncertain. Mustn't stoke the fires of Islamophobia, you know. Meanwhile, Americans are drawing their own conclusions. 

Walt awaits comment from the Face in Front of the Curtain at the White House. Behind the curtain, the puppeteers are working feverishly to devise a way to blame this (as they have blamed last week's mass shooting of Asian "masseuses" in Atlanta) on President Trump. Stay tuned.

One further comment: A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

UPDATE ADDED at 1600: Walt is watching the lamestream media spin the story to avoid giving any details that would suggest that the shooter is a follower of the prophet. 

Here are the first two paragraphs of the AP follow-up posted about an hour ago: 

"Police on Tuesday identified a 21-year-old man as the suspect who opened fire inside a crowded Colorado supermarket, and court documents showed that he purchased an assault weapon less than a week before the attack that killed 10 people, including a police officer. 

"Supermarket employees told investigators that Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa [sic] shot an elderly man multiple times Monday outside the Boulder grocery store before going inside, according to the documents. Another person was found shot in a vehicle next to a car registered to the suspect’s brother." 

CBC News, Canada's Liberal government-owned broadcaster ran the first paragraph, but skipped the second, going straight to the names of the victims! Wonder why... Might have something to do with not giving the shooter a "platform" for whatever views he might hold. (Can you say "jihad", boys and girls?) 

Then comes a piece from the Daily Caller, headlined: "Facebook Confirms It Deleted Account For Suspected Boulder Shooter Containing Posts About Islam, Trump". How about that... But the Caller says it "did not identify any content on the Facebook page that suggested a motive for the shooting Monday during a review of the account prior to its removal." So Mr Al Issa was a Muslim, OK, but not one of those nasty ones intent on killing all infidels. He was just a little mixed up, is all. 

For a more realistic portrait of the killer, you need to go to Jihadwatch, which reported this afternoon "Brother of Boulder jihad mass murderer detained, along with other family members". 

Robert Spencer writes: "...it is noteworthy that the establishment media continues to spell the killer's name 'Alissa', which of course is a common first name for women in the U.S. and thus gives the impression that he is an American non-Muslim, when the shooter himself spelled it 'Al Issa'. Are 'journalists' trying to obscure the fact that he is a Muslim migrant ISIS sympathizer? Of course they are."

To here Sleepy Joe and the Democrats [sounds like a 60's folk group. Ed.] talk about the "incident", it all proves the urgency of passing laws to take away Americans' guns. All of them. Right now. And that's all there is to it....

VIDEO: Don't FAIL to handle firearms safely!

Regular readers of WWW know that I am a great believer in the Second Amendment, and the right of all citizens (note, CITIZENS!) to bear arms. But if you're going to have a gun to protect yourself, your home and your family from criminals and invaders (note, INVADERS!), please learn how to use and store it properly. Practise firearm safety at all times! If you don't, you could wind up in a video like this!



The question at the end asks which one takes the prize. My vote is for Number 7. Muchas gracias and a tip of the sombrero to Agent 6 for sending this along.

Screw up my burger order and I'll kill you!

How wonderful to live in a country where the Constitution guarantees every idiot the right to bear arms. Agent 17 has alerted Walt to an AP story which originated with WOOD-TV in Michigan.

Grand Rapids MI police say that around 3 AM on Monday, a woman fired a shot into a local Mickey D's drive-through window after workers got her burger order wrong a second time. Shaneka Torres, age 29, was arraigned Monday on charges of carrying a concealed weapon, discharging a firearm and another gun charge.

Police say two women became angry when workers got their order wrong Sunday evening. They were told their next meal would be free. So they returned a couple of hours later, and workers screwed up their order again! Whereupon the passenger got out of the car, yelled at the workers, pulled a gun and fired into the window. No-one was hurt.

Employing what Chief Wiggum of the Grand Rapids PD called "good police work", the coppers tracked the miscreants down through a phone number they left after the argument over the first order.

Innocent question from Walt: The race of the offender is not reported. How many of you think she was probably white?

Agent 17 says the comments following the online version of the story are funny, but Ed. couldn't get the page to load. Here's the link if you want to give it a try.
