Much ado about rape culture
Unless you've been living under a rock (not unlike a certain Spongebob Squarepants neighbor), you've probably heard about the saga of Brock Turner, a Stanford University kid who was arrested, charged and sentenced to six months in jail for finger-banging a drunk chick in a pine cone-strewn alley. While shocking lax sentences of the like aren't uncommon - lest we forget the former Baltimore Ravens cheerleader who only got 104 days in weekend prison for performing a lewd act on a 15-year-old boy, or the Texas man who got probation for raping a two-year-old, or the 23-year-old New Zealand woman who received eight months house arrest for filming herself performing an unspeakable act on her own one-year-old son - this one seems to have ruffled a bit more feathers than most for the trifecta of a.) the sex abuser in question being a wealthy, white athlete, b.) the boy's father and the judge stating that jail time and having to register as a sex offender would ruin the assailant's life and c.) the victim - who has not yet been publicly identified - penning a 14-page Buzzfeed worthy op-ed about why the incident - which she admits she was too drunk to recall - was such a heinous crime that has gone so viral, your old Game Boy Camera probably has it downloaded to its battery. Virtually every columnist in the world has written some kind of screed about the incident, and as this Washington Post article demonstrates, just about all of them hark back to that most malodorous societal scourge, rape culture - a completely theoretical, virtually unprovable ideal that flies directly in the face of United States Bureau of Justice Statistics data that reveal incidents of rape are at their lowest rate in 40 years. Considering about 84,000 rapes transpire in the U.S. each and every year, one has to wonder why this particular incident blew up into a national outrage. I mean, what intrinsically makes the Stanford debacle any worse than the story of the Ohio mother who let a 55-year-old man rape her two children, or the 33-year-old man in New York who tried to rape a woman on a PATH train platform, or the 55-year-old man in New Mexico who raped an 85-year-old woman, or the 15-year-old Staunton boy who raped a 14-year-old girl, or the 22-year-old intellectually disabled man in Singapore who tried to rape his four-year-old niece, or the five men in India who gang raped a 52-year-old Danish tourist? Sorry to be cynical, but something tells me you've gotten an ear and eyeful of fury over Turner - and not, say, the two men in Miami who drugged a woman and raped her to sell as pornography, or the HIV positive gay porn star who got 17 years for raping a 14-year-old child or any of the hundreds of women who have raped underage boys - because those incidents don't affirm their preexisting hatred of the financially well-off, hetero-cisgender Caucasian male. Surely, all of the scorn heaped upon Turner is deserved, but by that same token, one can't help but feel that he's getting extra public punishment because he fits that mold oh-so-many SJWs despise with an irrational, discriminatory fury. Interestingly, the very same week the Turner story broke the Internet, there was a virtual media blackout concerning the two dozen women who said they were viciously attacked at a music festival just outside of Frankfurt. All sins being (allegedly) equivalent, one would think that a incident of such a magnitude would draw twenty times the furor and outrage as the Turner assault, but seeing as how the alleged attackers are Muslim immigrants ... well, no need to stereotype an already "victimized" class any further, the post-liberal masses proclaim with shrugged shoulders, deafened ears and (self) blinded eyes. Of course the left-leaners are aghast at the notion of sexual assault - that is, just as long as the people doing the sexual assaulting aren't members of one of their protected in-groups. Of course they will decry that hideous, horrendous "rape culture" in frat-boy dudebro culture, but when it comes to the much more rampant sex abuse in the Muslim community, the Jewish community, the Hispanic community, the African-American community and the gay community, they simply don't give a shit. Although Brock Turner deserves a long stay in jail and a thorough lambasting from the general public, let's not mince words - in this trial by public opinion, he's being targeted less for the act itself and much, much more because he hits all the aggravators - rich, white, straight, male and able-bodied - that the social justice lynch mobs decided needed to be "disestablished" years before the much maligned Stanford sexual assaulter was in Pampers.
Women proudly do their part to narrow the moral turpitude gap
Despite the fact that women are earning a majority of college degrees, obtaining postgraduate degrees at higher rates, reporting higher part-time pay, are privy to more college scholarships, have lower on-the-job mortality rates, receive less harsh sentences for committing the exact same crimes and win custody of children more often than their male counterparts, the Western culture narrative is that, by golly, women are still being persecuted left and right by a terribly, terribly misogynistic specter that - although a wholly intangible, non-physical idea instead of a concrete, observable object - permeates every facet of society. Although not exactly heralded as the sexism eroding triumphs they are, women today are certainly giving men a run for their money in a category long thought to be the domain of the XY-chromosome set - good old fashioned, murder, mayhem, and debauchery. Move over, fellas - let's hear it for these extraordinary gals doing their part to shatter the "glass ceiling" of depravity.
- In a delightful two-aggrieved-classes-for-the-price-of-one special, lesbian Brits Rachel and Nyomi Fee were formally convicted of the murder of Rachel's two-year-old child in March 2014. On top of their dual infanticide conviction - he was killed by a blow to the abdomen so severe it ruptured his heart - the two were also found guilty of torturing two other young boys, forcing one to sleep in a cage like an animal and locking another in a room with rats and snakes.
- In Ohio, 26-year-old Theresa Hawkins-Stephens, 29-year-old Rachael Bostian and 56-year-old Ramona Bostian are staring down three homicide charges a piece for their part in the murder of Hawkins-Stephens' 5-year-old son. They are also looking at two counts of felonious child endangerment and assault for brutalizing the deceased kindergartner and his 6-year-old brother. Police reports indicate the children were tied up for 24 hours without food or water and repeatedly beaten by the three women for allegedly stealing food. Two of the three women, unbelievably, have been released on bond.
- Houston area middle school teacher Alexandria Vera, 24, has been charged with the felony sexual abuse of a child for having sex "on a near daily basis" with a 13-year old boy, who at one point, impregnated her. According to local media accounts, the boys' parents reportedly "approved" of the relationship.
- In New York, Angelika Graswald has been charged with murdering her 46-year-old fiance by tampering with his kayak before a fatal rafting trap. She has pleaded "not guilty," however, to lesser second degree manslaughter charges.
And capping off our whirlwind tour of disgusting, feminine carnage, 29-year-old Octavia Renee Rogers of Phoenix has been charged with the gruesome stabbing death of her three children - all boys, ages 8, 5 and two months old. Police say she was high on synthetic marijuana at the time of the murders and failed to kill herself following the triple pedicide, although her attempt to slash open her own throat did leave a pretty gnarly, Frankenstein-esque wound.
New report says 45 million people enslaved across the globe
- In perhaps the most ironic #BLM member being arrested for a gloriously ironic crime since the last one, prolific Black Lives Matter protester Jasmine Richards has been formally charged with "lynching" - which, believe it or not, actually has a formal criminal justice definition beyond the "frontier justice" connotation most of us are familiar with. For trying to "rescue" a fellow protester who was arrested at a march in Pasadena, Richards will serve 90 days in jail and then spend the next three years on probation.
- Brooklyn-based rap group Pop Put Boyz are staring down lengthy jail sentences for their parts in a massive credit card fraud racket. Even more hilarious, the ensemble rapped about their involvement in the criminal enterprise in a track titled "For a Scammer," which contains such damning lyrics as "I'm cracking cards 'cause I'm a scammer ... watch the money do a back flip, early morning up at Saks Fifth, you see it, you want it, you have it."
- Give us your tired, your poor ... and your war criminals? Indeed, that's precisely the case at Washington D.C.'s Dulles Airport, where it was recently revealed that security guard Yusuf Abdi Ali is wanted in his homeland of Somalia for committing civil war atrocities. According to several reports, it wasn't exactly a shocker, either, as both the F.B.I. and T.S.A. were well aware of Ali's track record before he was hired.
- On May 30, 43-year-old career criminal Earl Nash - described as "a brilliant actor, model and athlete" by The Wire star Michael K. Williams - stormed into Nenegale Diallo's Bronx apartment, assaulted her with a chair, ripped her clothes off and prepared to rape her. Unfortunately for Mr. Nash, Diallo's 61-year-old husband, Mamadou Diallo intervened, eventually beating Nash to death with a tire iron. Unbelievably, Diallo was initially charged with manslaughter for saving his wife's life. He was met by a large crowd of cheering supporters outside a courthouse when the charges were dropped to lesser assault and criminal possession of a weapon offenses.
And in the great state of Mississippi, 25-year-old Joshua Blunt is facing second-degree murder charges for leaving his 8-month-old daughter in a hot car until she died from hyperthermia. As you'd expect, Blunt's defense team is playing the race card like a Game Genie-equipped NES. "The people making the decisions are white," said attorney Carlos Moore. "If this man had been any other color besides black, I believe he would be at home, grieving like a normal father and preparing for a funeral." Frankly. I am as shocked as he is. I mean, holy shit, a black man in Mississippi who actually raised his biological child!
Georgia, as always, remains the best state in the union
Oh goodness, the Peach State is filled with such wonderful, wonderful people. Sure, it may not have the reputation for batshit insane violent crime that Florida has, but if you asked me, our unique brand of mentally maladjusted, needlessly aggressive criminal is among the dandiest in the nation. Don't believe me? Well, just take a gander at the following trangressions - be they blunt violations of the civil code or unforgivable slights against the social justice hive-mind - in Braves Country as of late...
- 50 percent of Outkast Big Boi drew criticisms from the womens-kin when he posted a meme on social media featuring a photograph of Florida from Good Times side-by-side with an image of some late-20s woman shaking her anus with the wording "...and we act like we don't know what's wrong with these kids" at the bottom. Offended parties wasted no time before firing back on Twitter, with one commentator stating "EVERY SINGLE DAY BLACK MOTHERHOOD IS UNDER ATTACK AND THE PRIMARY ATTACKERS ARE BLACK MEN." Well, shit - looks like somebody needs to say "I'm sorry, miss Jackson, I am for real" pronto, no?
- Melita Curtis was a member of an organization that helped domestic abuse victims in the metro Atlanta area. In an incident every bit as ironic as it is tragic, she was set on-fire by her ex-boyfriend, 39-year-old Mervin Woodard, on June 3. For those who would like to help Curtis - who, amazingly, survived the attempted immolation - you can make contributions to a medical fee fund at the following link.
- On June 2, 17-year-old Austell teen Jaydon Lee Reid was given two life sentences for murdering 23-year-old Terrance Banks and 21-year-old Sterling Hargave. The remorseless Reid gunned down the two men when he was just 14 years old.
- Oh the humanity! Can you believe Stockbridge police fucked up something wicked and stormed into the wrong house following a distressed 911 call and wound up fatally shooting 63-year-old David Powell in the neck? Alas, this infuriating tragedy will remain nothing more than a local interest story ... although one can't help but wonder if the incident would have garnered more national ink had Mr. Powell not been just another old white guy.
- On June 1, 19-year-old Christal McGee allegedly attempted to take a selfie with a Snapchat feature that lists the photograph taker's concomitant speed. Unfortunately, McGee wound up slamming into a car being driven by Wentworth Maynard, who incurred severe brain trauma in the 107-mile accident.
- Atlanta is infamous for its horrendous traffic. Commuters on I-20 experienced an absolute log jam during their evening commute, not because of a car wreck or road work, but because two motorists appear to have gotten into a rolling shootout. One man, 19-year-old Jonathan Williams of Villa Rica, was killed in the crossfire.
- In Lawrenceville, a family was attacked by a mysterious, burka-clad woman, who attempted to - stab? beat? poke? prod? - them with an American flag. Following the arrest of 30-year-old Aisha Ibraham, homeowner Dami Arno was livid that the assailant wasn't charged with a hate crime. "A Muslim woman tore my flag pole down this morning and attacked me and my daughter with it. After the fight she was charged with simple battery, two counts, nothing else."
- That said, Georgia ain't all anti-social miscreant. In an incredibly rare display of a powerful NGO figurehead refusing to kowtow to doublespeak, the executive director of Georgia's ACLU chapter announced she was resigning from her post because she wasn't too keen on the organization's stance in favor of allowing transgender people to use whichever bathroom they so desire. "It became clear that we were principally and philosophically different in opinion," said Maya Dillard Smith, before tossing out this quote of the year contender. "How do we educate ourselves if we can't ask those questions, engage in dialogue?"
And lastly, ya'll remember Bobby Brown, right? You know, the guy from New Edition who (reportedly) beat the living shit out of Whitney Houston for the better part of 20 years? Promoting a new tell-all book (which, among other scintillating tidbits, alleges that the his ex-wife had an affair with Tupac), Brown writes that he experienced some sexual abuse himself after moving into an Atlanta mansion formerly owned by Atlanta porn kingpin Mike Thevis - in the form of being raped by a ghost. "I need you to hear what I'm saying because I'm not making this up," he states. "And let me add this: This was before I ever touched any drug, besides weed and alcohol."
The lighter side of horrific murder
You know, just because a horrifically violent, gruesome and nonsensical homicide took place doesn't mean you can't rummage through the bloody tea leaves and pick up some sort of worthwhile gallows humor. I mean, just take a gander at these recent wacky homicides and tell me there isn't some sort of ghoulishly admirable camp in all of the wanton carnage:
- You know that old fratboy aphorism "give me head 'til I'm dead?" Well, 27-year-old Italian Vincenzo Paduano took that maxim really to heart. According to police reports, he immolated his ex-girlfriend, 22-year-old Sara Di Pierantonio, alive for refusing to give him a blow job.
- In Texas, 45-year-old Kenneth Alan Amyx murdered his girlfriend, 43-year-old Jennifer Streit-Spears, and posted photographs of her corpse ... and his own face smeared with her blood ... with the message "please pray for us" on Facebook. The gruesome pictures were online for 36 hours before Mark Z. and co. took them down.
- 35-year-old comic book maven Blake Leibel, the heir to a multimillionaire Toronto developer, has been charged with the ghastly murder of 30-year-old Iana Kasian. Eerily, his girlfriend, in addition to being mercilessly pummeled, had the blood drained out of her body ... apparently mimicking a scene in one of Leibel's recently published graphic novels, and further legitimizing the argument that America's obsession with "nerd culture" is breeding a generation of violent sociopaths.
- In Indiana, 19-year-old Johnathan Cruz has been charged with murdering three people over the course of four days. According to detectives, Cruz said his one-man crime spree - which also includes several counts of robbery and physical assault - was inspired by The Purge film series.
And of course, you can't overlook the the murder-suicide that transpired at UCLA June 2 - which is actually a double murder-suicide, seeing as how gunman Mainak Sarkar killed his wife in Minneapolis before driving halfway across the country to just up and kill one of his old professors. Once again stoking the racial embers, the official UCLA student newspaper set the news-o-sphere on fire by reporting that the suspect was a 6 foot tall white man ... a stereotypical mass murder description (even though an estimated 75 percent of all mass shooters in the U.S. are actually African-American) that, well, was just a bit off base.
Washing over whitewashing
Over the last few years, the term "whitewashing" has become en vogue term for regressive leftists to attack what they perceive as micro-examples of racism in U.S. culture. Fundamentally, this is the widely-held (and, naturally, indisputable) belief that anytime a white actor portrays an individual who - historically or in pre-established media - was non-white, it's nothing short of a pop culture hate crime. Indeed, there is an entire Wikipedia article dedicated to all the times melanin-deficient Americans portrayed characters who were anything other than mayonnaise-white honkies and crackers. Interestingly, the term used to describe the opposite phenomenon - in which non-Caucasians play characters who, historically or in preexisting media, were described as unmistakably white - has a much softer label - the innocuous-to-the-point-of-being suspicious "non-traditional casting." Alas, while people yell and bitch and moan and cry "ray, ray racism!" like a stammering social justice warrior Scooby Doo because some filmmaker says he might cast a white guy to play Michael Jackson, virtually nobody made a peep when promotional images for the new London stage production of Harry Potter revealed an African-British Hermione Granger, nor were there any articles on The Huffington Post slamming Disney for casting that dude from Hamilton - arguably the most appropriatey thing in the history of appropriation - as the new Bert in the forthcoming Mary Poppins re-do. One gets the feeling that such silence would not be expected had the racial roles been reversed - I mean, can you imagine an all white version of The Wiz or an all white version of the old Ja Rule music video for Mesmerize?
Yes, a majority of the world's Muslim people are peaceful. In fact, by and large, they are so peaceful that there's no point bringing up all of the incidents of mass violence perpetrated by Islamic individuals compared to those who are hardcore adherents of other religions for comparative purposes ... ever. Alas, with Ramadan in full swing, we consider it our civic duty to fill you in on all of the things the Mohammadens are up to these days. Wondering what "the religion of peace" has wrought over the last fortnight? Well, here you go, infidels...
Remember when college used to be considered a citadel of free speech, a haven for contrarian thinkers to go against the grain and shape our gilded youth into more critical, well-informed individuals? Well, that shit has been dead as a door nail for at least 25 years, but the amount of Orwellian dreck coming out of hallowed university halls nowadays nonetheless remains equally impressive and concerning. Take heed, America: this is the stuff we're paying our young 'uns to learn nowadays...
With the Bern all but extinguished, it looks like we're going to have Hilary Clinton representing the Dems this November. Naturally, this means the media - which has absolutely exhausted itself trying to come up with every possible campaign-derailing trick they can think of - has to really up their game to take out Republican challenger Donald Trump, whose populist, nationalistic, "fuck political correctness" bravado represents arguably the greatest threat to their ability to dictate American thought since the heyday of Andrew Jackson. Taking their brazen political favoritism to lofty new heights of incredulity, click bait pioneer Buzzfeed recently announced that they would refuse to run advertisements for Donald Trump on their site, with the the failing company's president stating it is for the same reason they don't run ads for cigarettes - because Trump is LITERALLY a public health menace. Meanwhile, New York Times scribe Michael Barbaro - who, in the past, has given lectures describing the necessity to "fudge" reality to make stories more captivating - wound up eating a load of his own shit when a hit piece alleging Trump acted like a sexist maniac at a beauty pageant was refuted by the very same people he portrayed as "victims" of Donald's misdoings. And of course, the media had a field day when Trump criticized the partiality of U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel - who belongs to an organization non-descriptively called "San Diego La Raza (Espanol for "The Race") Lawyers' Association" - all the while downplaying all the predominantly Caucasian Trump supporters who were beaten, bloodied and pelted with objects by Mexican-flag-waving Sanders supporters at a recent San Jose rally (nor did the media care too much to explore the mayor's alleged order that police "stand down" during all the mayhem.) Then there are the antics of Vox "reporter" Emmett Rensin, who did away with objectivity (and civility) altogether, urging his readers to "riot" if and when Trump made a campaign stop in their neck of the woods. And proving once and for all that there is literally NO opportunity too small to attack the Donald, overrated comedian Judd Apatow told reporters that the reason why the Internet reaction to the all-women Ghostbusters re-do is so negative is because, by golly, everybody downvoting the trailer on YouTube are a bunch of misogynistic Trump supporters.
Islam-a-mania's running' wild, brother
Yes, a majority of the world's Muslim people are peaceful. In fact, by and large, they are so peaceful that there's no point bringing up all of the incidents of mass violence perpetrated by Islamic individuals compared to those who are hardcore adherents of other religions for comparative purposes ... ever. Alas, with Ramadan in full swing, we consider it our civic duty to fill you in on all of the things the Mohammadens are up to these days. Wondering what "the religion of peace" has wrought over the last fortnight? Well, here you go, infidels...
- Without question, there is no country in the world more sexist than the United States, where everyday, women are oppressed by an invisible rape culture that sometimes manifests itself in the form of ... gasp ... catcalls and unwanted eye contact! Surely, they would fare much better in more progressive societies, like the one in Mosul where ISIS officials burned 19 women alive for refusing to become sex slaves.
- Say, let's say you live in Sweden, and the federal government asks you if were willing to take in a couple of asylum seekers. Wondering what happens if you say no? Well, apparently, they kick you out of your own home and turn around and give the keys to the refugees.
- Speaking of Sweden, the country accepted 163,000 Muslim refugees in 2015. Care to take a guess how many of them have found employment yet? Well, if you said "just 494," you sir or madam, would be right as a 90 degree angle.
- Speaking of unfortunate statistics, a new report reveals that in the first three months of 2016 alone, Muslim migrants have commited an astounding 69,000 crimes. You can add a few more charges to the collective rap sheet, since scores of asylum seekers who coincidentally worship the same reverred figure burned down a refugee camp in Dusseldorf June 8 because they weren't woken up for Ramadan breakfast early enough.
- According to a new report, an incredible 200 cases of female genital mutilation are now being chalked up every week in jolly old England, with almost half of them happening in and around London. As to the catalyst for such an amazing upswing in such an abstruse crime ... officials are stumped.
Of course, that revered liberal progressivist icon the Dalai Lama has to have some enlightening thoughts on the European migrant crisis. So what did he tell a German newspaper on June 1? "Germany cannot become an Arab country ... Germany is Germany. There are so many that in practice it becomes difficult. From a moral point of view, too, I think that the refugees should only be admitted temporarily." And remember, kids ... that's straight out of the mouth of his holiness.
Higher ed continues noble quest to eradicate world of free thought, expression
- A course on men in literature got shit-canned at Springfield College, after detractors alleged the class created "a hostile environment" on campus for female students. Ironically, the college also offers English classes titled "Women and Literature," "Native American Literature," "Asian-American Literature" and a two-part "African-American Literature" module.
- A no-whites-allowed group at Claremont called "5c Women of Color" had to shut down its Facebook page once some less than savory comments started leaking out of the closed group. Among the highlights is this charming post from a student on white men: "his pale ass is worthless and the sun doesn't even like him. Talk about his receding hairline, the fact that he probably looks 20 years older than he actually is and that he probably has a small penis."
- There really isn't a lot of great, daring satire being disseminated these days anywhere, ESPECIALLY on stiff, rigid, and oh-so-easily-offended college campuses. That's one of the things that makes The Koala - the official "fake" newspaper of the University of California-San Diego - such an amazing little publication. Alas, the articles about freshman working on their "cum shots" and op-eds about the need for more on-site murders apparently rubbed the university brass the wrong way, so they revoked their funding. Ever the proud defenders of the First Amendment, however, the Koala riposted by teaming up with the ACLU and filing a lawsuit June 1 against the UCSD administration for violating their constitutional rights.
- Proudly doing their part to promote greater diversity of opinion and thought, the University College Union in the U.K. announced that cisgender, hetereosexual, able-bodied, white males aren't only forbidden from participating in debates ... they won't even be allowed to attend them as audience members.
- In a recent interview, new Appalachian State University Campus Diversity Director Willie Fleming expressed his desire to create a "zero-tolerance" policy for bias on campus, which would come primarily in the form of mandatory diversity training for all staff, faculty and students. Meanwhile, college students in China are learning math and science and are no doubt looking forward to running tomorrow's global economy unchallenged.
And in our how the fuck could anybody agree to fund this bullshit research project of the week, researchers at UCLA recently dropped a report declaring that high school suspensions are costing America hundreds of billions of dollars per year. So, uh, how is Little Johnny getting afterschool detention for calling his teacher a "fuckface" decimating the economy? Well, uh, it isn't directly, UCLA "researchers" declare, but kids who get suspended are more likely to drop out of school, and if they drop out of school they won't make as much money as a Ph. D. in neuroscience, so by subtracting the amount of money a doctor makes per year from how much the average non-high-school-graduate employee makes per year ... that's how much school suspensions are costing us, everybody. Uh - shouldn't fucking college researchers know the difference between "causation" and "correlation" by now?
Your required dose of The Donald
With the Bern all but extinguished, it looks like we're going to have Hilary Clinton representing the Dems this November.

Of course, as Election Day draws nearer, the anti-Trump rancor is going to grow stronger and stronger. With Hilary Clinton's war chest expected to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars, Trump has no choice but to align himself with big money donors to go toe-to-toe with Hil, and needless to say, I think we all know who the media is going to be tossing their support - both ideologically and financially - to in the lead up to the first Tuesday in November. The only question now is just how low will the media go to make sure Trump isn't elected - and even in an industry infamous for distorting reality to absurd degrees to fit their agendas and causes, I'd venture to guess that we haven't seen nothing compared to what awaits us later this year. Better have your galoshes on tight folks - we are about to get knee deep in some seriously stinky bullshit.
...and a few headlines that speak for themselves...
