Watch this . . . and understand what Britain once was, and still is, and what we might one day no longer be, too . . .
Last night, I passed a milestone of sorts by speaking about crime in Sarasota, Florida. More specifically, the topic was George Soros and his support for the “criminals lobby.” No, there’s no missing apostrophe: Soros lobbies for criminals and for emptying the prisons. This is the cause most likely most dear to his heart, though it often gets short shrift as people explore the rich panoply of his anti-American ambitions.
Who wouldn’t want to empty prisons, so long as there were no criminals in them to begin with? ...
For regular readers (yeah, I imagine my readers are regular), Watcher’s Council is a blogging group posted at all corners of the globe. The writing is a hybrid of politics and not-politics (one of the three seminal blog divides: politics/not politics, food/not food, porn/not porn). I’ve been following some of these folks for years, and their thoughtful commentaries deserve wider audiences.
While I’m still trying to understand the set-up, I asked for and was included in their “Watcher’s Council” nominations for notable posts this week. Below you’ll find the nominated articles. They may interest or infuriate, but they won’t bore. They cement my belief that the internet is the Gentleman’s Journal of the new century . . . and just in time. ...
Suspects Alexander Penley, Nicholas Thommen and Eric Marchese
The N. Y. Post is reporting that police officers were injured by a gang of thugs who got all hopped up at an anarchist book fair and attacked the first cops they saw, shouting “All pigs must die”: ...
With enough clichés to fill a file cabinet labeled Boy’s Town, the Order of St. Duranty of the prefecture of 8th Avenue absolved another preening terrorist last week. And, look! It’s yet another radical chicklet involved in yet another Brinks Robbery. I’m sorry, I mean Father Radical Chic, the Reverend Patrick Moloney, who still thinks it’s extremely funny that some poor innocent Brinks guards suffered the hell of guns held to their temples. Moloney got to wallow in a big pile of money before getting caught and serving a few token years.
Yon Patrick: you don’t hold a gun to the temple of an innocent and then change the location of the money, you chase the money changers out of the . . . oh, never mind. ...
My article about a very frightening new holiday, Pursuit of Happiness Day, is up at Accuracy in Media.

This week, the Soros-funded anti-incarceration-criminologists at John Jay College’s The Crime Report excitedly announced a major new initiative: Soros-funded anti-incarceration criminologists are going to pull on their Sherlock Holmes caps and investigate the “causes of incarceration” in America.
Again, because they didn’t find it the last 500 times: ...
When you want to know about homicide and race, or race and the media, or the media and crime, or crime and politicians, ask a cop:
When a local crime story explodes into the nation’s attention, it is worth asking why it has done so. According to the FBI, a murder occurs every 35.6 minutes in the United States, yet few of these killings garner any notice at all beyond the neighborhoods where they occur. So when any one of America’s roughly 15,000 annual homicides attracts what would seem an inordinate level of interest, we are left to wonder why. Are the people involved emblematic of some larger trend? Do the details of the crime offer instruction on how similar crimes might somehow be averted in the future? Or is there some other explanation, one that reflects the choices made by those who decide what stories they see fit to present to their audiences? ...
