What is a "hate crime"?

Federal prosecutors have filed hate crime charges against Robert Bowers, the Pennsylvania man they say stormed a Pittsburgh synagogue and opened fire, killing 11 people. Because the people were Jews, and because Mr Bowers allegedly made anti-Semitic statements during the shooting and even in the hospital where he was being treated, and allegedly targeted Jews on social media, he has been charged with committing "hate crimes", for which he may be sentenced to death.

Walt would like to know if the same charges would have been laid had Mr Bowers shot up a Catholic church full of worshippers (like you'd ever find that, nowadays) or a non-denominational public (read: secular) school.

Would the same charges have been laid had the attacker been a Muslim fanatic, or would the murders then be called acts of terrorism? What's the difference between a terrorist crime and a hate crime?

And what if Mr Bowers had been black, and had shot up a meeting of the Aryan nation...or a station full of white cops? That would certainly be a hate-filled act, but if a black man did it, would he not be justified, in the eyes of the NPCs, because of... well, you know....

I believe that there is no excuse, other than self-defence, for killing another human being. That goes double for the killing of the innocent -- infants and unborn children! See "True story of Philadelphia baby-killer now a movie", WWW 24/10/18.

But the "minority status" or the victims or of the killer should make no difference to the "justice" applied or received. That is why slogans like "Justice for Trayvon Martin" make no sense unless the NPCs who shout them also demand justice for the victims of ISIS, justice for the innocent bystanders shot by gangstas, and, yes, justice for the millions of babies whose lives were "terminated" by the likes of Kermit Gosnell, paid by Planned Parenthood with the support of your tax dollars.

I believe also that justice does not include retribution. I am not so naïve as to think that nutbars and recidivists can be rehabilitated and made useful members of society if we just "love" them enough. Hug-a-hoodie just doesn't work because hate cannot always (or ever?) be overcome by love. But an eye for an eye is not the solution.

I am opposed to the death penalty because I am opposed to murder. People like Mr Bowers need to be removed from society, for the protection of society, but in a civilized society, permanent incarceration or perhaps banishment to a Siberia is as far as we ought to go. State-sanctioned murder is no different from "murder by crazy freelancer".

As for "hate crime", I call that a redundancy, since all murder involves hate of some kind. As used by the NPCs today, "hate crime" is just another expression intended to make straight white people -- especially men and Christians -- feel guilty, guilty, guilty! If I were Emperor of the World, I would banish "hate crime" from the statute books and even from the dictionaries. Sadly, hate is part of human nature. You can't overcome hate by mandating "love"... or political correctness.

"Allahu akbar!" ISIS claims responsibility for Greektown shooting

One of Canada's "independent" broadcasters scooped the state-owned Canadian Broadcorping Castration a few minutes ago with a report that ISIS (or ISIL or IS or the Islamic State -- whatever) has claimed responsibility for Sunday night's mass shooting in Toronto's Greektown. However, they have not provided any evidence or support for the unsubstantiated claim.

CTV is passing on a Reuters report which quotes a statement released by the Islamic terrorists' AMAQ news agency, which referred to 29-year-old Faisal Hussain, pictured, as "a soldier of the Islamic State" who "carried out the attack in response to calls to target the citizens of the coalition countries." That's pretty much a set-in-cold-type statement from ISIS, which regularly claims responsibility for attacks carried out in the West, but those attacks are not always found to be inspired or directed by the terrorist organization.

The CBC may be a bit slow to pick up this story, since it contradicts the official Liberal government line, parroted just yesterday by Ralph Goodale, the Minister of Public Safety [sic], that the matter was being investigated by Toronto police (read: not by the feds) and that neither the "incident" nor Mr Hussain were in any way "connected with national security". I've never understood why poor ole Ralph, a nice guy from Saskatchewan, has to carry the can on the terrorism file. Why don't they ask Just In Trudeau or the Somali-born Minister of Refugees &c [sic].

Toronto police, meanwhile, have come up with a theory about where Mr Hussain got his gun. As Walt told you, the Thorncliffe Park area of Toronto, where the family lived, is infested with "refugees" and with gangs of Afghans and other scum. Mr Hussain's older brother (who is conveniently can't be interviewed, since he's in hospital in a coma) had ties to one of those gangs, Inspector Knacker says, and probably gave the gun to his kid brother.

The cops have executed a search warrant in the Pakistani family's apartment on the 7th floor of the refugee camp at 43 Thorncliffe Park and are expected to have something more to say in the next day or two about what they found.

Kemi's gone! Canada's gain is Nigeria's loss

Amazing news from the Land of the Maple Leaf! The Great White North is a tiny bit whiter than it was last week, as notorious media whore Kemi Omagolly-Lululemon [Ed, check spelling please.] was finally bundled onto a plane back to her native Nigeria.

As detailed in WWW ad nauseam, Kemi's been on the run from Georgia justice for a number of years. Faced with allegations of child abuse, Kemi did what 1000s of Nigerians have done before her, and made a bee-line for Canada, which has never been known to refuse a "refugee", no matter how implausible their story or how easy it would be to return to the land of their birth.

Sadly for Kemi O, she didn't have the wisdom to keep her mouth shut. Instead she set herself up as a spokesthingy for all the poor black yoofs victimized by the racism and injustice of Canadian society. All those aspiring rap artists and innocent mothers' sons turning their lives around, cut down in their prime by, errr, other black yoofs. Who will speak for them now?

Walt cannot report that Kemi was dragged kicking and screaming onto the plane. Nor was she drugged and shackled. By her own account (given to her dear friend Chris Doucette of the Toronto Sun -- Chris will miss her!), Kemi, along with her for-some-reason-autistic son, got the VIP treatment, at a cost to Canadian taxpayers of nearly $30,000.

"It was a big waste of taxpayers' money," she said. Just how Doucette got the message on Monday, since Kemi was deported on Friday was a mystery. Perhaps Kemi sent an e-mail to say she was being held captive in Nigeria and would be able to escape with a large box containing millions of $$$ if only Doucette would help her out.

Walt is genuinely sorry that Kemi is gone, as we won't have her to kick around any more. But don't be surprised if she reappears, perhaps under another of her many aliases, to begin a brand new refugee claim. I'm sure Chris Doucette will keep us posted.

White scamming and black shooting in Ontariariario

In spite of Walt's warnings, people are still buying chocolate bars from kids claiming the money goes to Help Kids Canada. We have a new comment today from someone in Kitchener who got conned, and Agent 3 reports being solicited in front of his bank by a girl of about 12 with braces on her teeth. She was lucky Agent 3 is not a dirty old man! [He's a dirty young man! Ed.]

Folks... the people who implore you to buy their chocolate bars do not work for Help Kids Canada. They are being "run" by managers or supervisors who are independent contractors, not employed by Help Kids Canada. Their business is selling chocolate bars. Period. This information comes from the Help Kids Canada website. As today's anonymous commenter said, it's hard to believe that the little waifs pushing the bars don't know what they're doing.

Elsewhere, what passes in Canada for a "big apple" -- talkin' `bout Toronto, folks -- had its fourth gunshot fatality in as many nights, in Lawrence Heights, a neighbourhood filled with "community housing". All four shootees were Jamaican, or should we say "Jamaican-Canadians". The shooters remain at large.

Also yesterday, in Pickering (also a part of the so-called Greater Toronto Area), a 17-year-old yoof was shot by the Old Bill (= police, for those who don't speak British English) while using a replica gun in an attempt to stick up a veterinary clinic. The poor at-risk yoof is black, but which island he came from is not known as of this writing.

What makes Walt laugh is that Toronto's mayor, Buffalo Bob Ford, and police chief, Old Bill Bliar, keep saying these are "isolated incidents", and that Toronto is a really really safe city, not at all like, say, Detroit. Four dead in four days -- not to mention over 20 injured in the crossfire -- doesn't sound "isolated" to Walt.

The lamestream media are howling for a solution to the Problem That Cannot Be Named. If you have a suggestion, kindly send it to the Canadian Minister of Immigration, Hon. Jason Kenney. If you're interested, Mr. Kenney has his own website on which he is soliciting your support for his great work in trying to deport criminals from Jamaica and, errr, other places.

You can also direct your suggestions to the Minister of Justice, Hon. Rob Nicholson. Tell them Walt sent ya!

Shocking news! Toronto shooter not Jamaican!

Further to yesterday's story about the gunplay at Toronto's Eaton Centre, Walt can report that the Toronto constabulary, not known for their ability to find a blackberry in a saucer of milk [Block that metaphor! Ed.] were handed a bit of a gift when a gentleman of the coloured persuasion walked into 52 Division HQ early this morning and admitted to pulling the trigger at least seven times. With one victim dead and six others injured it had to be at least seven.

The perp was identified in court this afternoon as Christopher Husbands, a Toronto resident. "Was Mr. Husbands born in Canada?", I hear you ask. Errr, no. He immigrated in 2000. Lifetime pct .990.
"From where did he immigrate?", I still hear you asking. Errr, not Jamaica. Lifetime pct .989. Turns out Mr. Husbands came from Guyana...not 1000 miles from Jamaica, as the crow flies. [Do it again and you're fired! Ed.]

"What was Mr. Husbands doing in Canada?" Errr... he was doing time. For a drug conviction in 2008.
"So what was he doing in the Eaton Centre?" According to the police, he should have been at home because he was, errr, under house arrest, awaiting trial on a charge of sexual assault dating from 2010.

Isn't the Canadian justice system great? And the Canadian immigration "system" too.

It is not known when Mr. Husbands will be tried on charges of murder and a bunch of other things for which he could be slapped on the wrist several more times. The police are still working on their case. They are having trouble getting lineup identification of Husbands as the perp. Eyewitnesses keep saying, "I dunno. They all look the same to me..."

Liberals keep polishing the turd, says Big Bad Jim

"What liberals can learn from conservatives" -- Margaret Wente's review of Jonathan Heidt's The Righteous Mind (see previous post) drew a lot of comment, both pro and con. [Geddit? Ed.] Walt liked a screed by a poster calling himself Big Bad Jim.

I don't know if liberals are capable of learning in the accepted sense. So many of their policies have clearly failed, but they keep polishing the turd, pushing self-destructive polices, and seperating actions and consequences in a way that goes from the ridiculous to the sublime.

Here is my scholarly theory. Liberals live in a bubble. Most of them live in concrete urban jungles where friendly policemen guard them from harm the way a sheep dog guards his flock. They don't grow their own food, most of them don't make anything of value, most work and live in artificial markets and workplaces, and the sum effect of all these influences is 'devolution'. These people are reverting back to savage, tool-using super-apes.

Consider your affluent rich Tranna Libs. [Those are the ones I call "Volvo liberals". Walt] They would be dead meat in any rural or productive society. They are unpopular, socially incompetent, and divisive. They are not the kind of people you want to make friends with or help out because they will not do the same for you. In any society that does not nanny stupid people -- as ours does -- Darwin would take them out.

In the liberal slums, drugs and gang activity are going through the roof. The only people that do well in those environments are the fittest and strongest. As drugs and illegitimacy and illiteracy ravage their families and communities, they become ever more dehumanized by crime and violence and start to resemble our feral ape-like evolutionary predecessors.

It is pretty much apparent to anyone that doesn't live in a leftist stupidity chamber that the great Liberal Social Experiment has failed. And now -- it's time to clean up the mess.

Anti-violence BBQ a bang-up success

Torontonians know the Jane St-Weston Rd area of west Toronto as an "at risk community". That's PC-speak for a rundown neighbourhood populated chiefly by "people of colour", which is PC-speak for...well, you get the picture.

But hope springs eternal. The people of the community are doing Good Things to make their ghetto safer. On Sunday they held a "violence prevention barbecue event".

Unfortunately, the park which was the scene of the event was just around the corner from the scene of a shootout. Gunshots rang out just at dusk. A man in his 20s was shot in the back as he tried to protect a child from stray bullets. He is now in stable condition in a Toronto hospital.

According to "The Bill", it doesn’t appear the victim was targeted by the gunmen. At least two suspects are being sought. There are no descriptions of the suspects yet, other than the usual description which the PC papers won't print.

Police do have footage from a home video that was being shot at the scene, but say it's hard to see much except for the perps' smiles.

Canada's porous border - further follow-up

The Toronto Star reports today that a 14-year-old Jamaican who entered Canada illegally two years has now got Children's Aid fighting tooth and nail (at your expense, fellow citizens) to keep him from being deported.

A federal court judge hearing the case seemed unclear on exactly how the boy got into Canada, but it seems safe to assume he didn't swim. In fact he flew with WestJet...on a one-way ticket! Apparently no-one asked to see a visa when he got on the plane or when he landed at Toronto's Pearson airport. He just calmly walked into our country where he has survived on the largesse of the Canadian taxpayer ever since.

Judge Robert Mainville said "Clearly measures need to be taken to avoid similar situations in the future. There is [there should be! ed.] no question of encouraging in any fashion or manner whatsoever the act of sending and abandoning foreign children in Canada."

The Ministry of Public Safety wants the boy deported so he can be reunited with his family. Judge Mainville got involved when the Toronto Children's Aid Society stepped in, saying the boy's safety would be at risk if he were sent back to St. Lucia. [Sic. The Star first says the boy is Jamaican, but later says "sent back to St. Lucia".]

I would have thought that Citizenship and Immigration Canada would be handling the case, rather than the Ministry of Public Safety, but perhaps there is concern that the unfortunate lad might get involved with gangs and drugs if he stays here. Or maybe he is already.

Walt thinks it would be great if the kid could be sent to Jamaica, to join his older brother, who was deported not long ago after living illegally in Toronto for some time. Of course they have gangs and drug problems in Jamaica too [There's a news flash for you! ed.] but Walt thinks it best that the Jamaicans kill each other on the streets of Kingston rather than the streets of Toronto.

And Walt joins Judge Mainville in recommending that CIC and the Canada Border Services Agency sharpen up. Close the bloody door!

Is race the reason?

The Toronto Star reports today that 5 (five) people were involved in 4 (four) separate shooting incidents in Toronto in the last 24 hours. Many (many) shots were fired. 1 (one) young man died from gunshot wounds.

The Star's report was 15 paragraphs long (as of noon EDT), and never said 1 (one) word about the race of those involved. Nor did the Star allow comments, moderate or otherwise.

Could it be because all those involved were black?

What is the point of the politically correct suppression of this fact? Even in descriptions of suspects, race usually goes unreported. And the Star is not the only media outlet which doesn't have the balls to say what anyone can see just by watching the news on TV.

The fact is that, in Toronto, young black men are killing other young black men, usually for reasons involving drugs and gangs, at the rate of over one per week so far this year. They might just manage to solve the crime problem by killing each other. But how many innocent bystanders, like Jane Creba, will be caught in the crossfire?

The gorillas in our midst

I was born in Toronto. (Long before the earth's crust cooled? ed.) I spent several years of my life there. But I've left, along with 1000s of others like me, because the Toronto of today more closely resembles Kingston... Kingston, Jamaica, that is, not Kingston, Ontario.

Toronto today is a collection of ghettos. There's Little Italy, Little Portugal, Greek Town, Old Chinatown -- the new Chinatowns being sensibly located in neighbouring cities. And there are other ghettos of Russians, Tamils, Somalis and just about every nationality on earth. Then there are the black ghettos.

I refer to York South-Weston, the area bounded by Lawrence Avenue, Caledonia Road, Dundas Street West and the Humber River. An article in Saturday's Globe and Mail describes it as "the new epicentre of gang activity". It is stuck between four other typically high-crime areas. There are the fabled Rexdale and Jane-Finch neighbourhoods to the northwest and north, the Lawrence Heights “jungle” to the northeast and Parkdale to the southeast.

What these areas have in common is that the majority of residents are black -- immigrants from Jamaica and other islands in the sun, and latterly "refugees" from the Horn of Africa. This is hardly news. It is a fact visible to anyone who drives along, say, Eglinton Avenue West, or who waits for a bus at the corner of Jane and Finch. (Get real! ed.) Anyone who watches the TV news reports of shootings in Toronto need only watch the video clips to know that the majority by far of victims of gang violence are black, as are the majority, again by far, of perpetrators.

Surprisingly though (I said, get real! ed.) this fact is not mentioned even once in the 2000-plus words of the Globe and Mail article. Nor is it mentioned in "Learning to cope in the city's new crime 'hot spot'", which appeared in Saturday's Toronto Star.

Why is this? Why will the media not acknowledge or even mention what everyone with his eyes even half-open knows?

How can one have any kind of meaningful analysis or discussion of what must be done to curb rising gang activity and gun violence without talking about one of the key issues which needs to be addressed?

It seems that political correctness prevents us from calling a spade a spade. Until the silent majority finds a voice, we can look forward to ever-increasing crime statistics and an ever higher cost to our (?) society.
