Snowflakes Will Fall: OSU Activists Complain Police Wrongly Shot... Campus Terrorist
Mm-hmm. From Blake Jeff at the Daily Caller:
The OSU Coalition for Black Liberation is a campus protest group on OSU's main campus in Columbus. The group held a rally Wednesday to protest the death of young black men at the hands of police, and read off a list of non-white men who had been killed by police in the last two months. Among the names read off was that of Abdul Razak Ali Artan [the OSU stabbing jihadist and run-down warrior].... Organizers of the protest said that Artan’s particular actions were irrelevant. "In some cases, the deceased may have committed acts of violence against others before they were killed," gender studies student Maryam Abidi said at the event, according to The Lantern. "Perhaps they were domestic abusers, perhaps they threatened or killed others. This possibility is not something to shy away from. The protest against police brutality extends to the innocent and the guilty alike, because we know that no matter the crime, justice and due process don't come from a cop's bullet."Gee I wonder who Tucker Carlson is booking for his guest victim tonight.

"....we know that no matter the crime, justice and due process don't come from a cop's bullet."
This is true. Justice comes when a society appraises the actions of its police and decides whether they were appropriate for the circumstances. If they were...fine. If they weren't, then further legal examination is required.
I'm going out on a limb here, but my guess is that the campus community is wildly happy with the actions of its police force.

Justice and due process may not come from a cops bullet but the bullet is to stop the violent crime in progress. You want justice and due process you probably need to be taking steps to ensure you live to see the courtroom.

Judge Jeanine was on F&F this morning and was so livid over this stupidity , that she was foaming at the mouth.
She wanted to know if Artan should have been allowed to continue to run around stabbing and slashing people until he was too exhausted to pick up the knife and then simply cuffed.
When I was a student many years ago at OSU, we had goofy ass groups like this on campus. Typically they would be on the library steps or on the oval, yelling and hollering with a few signs. You simply walked by them and ignored them. Unfortunately with the advent of 24/7 media and social media, these idiots get full coverage now.
And where do they get their crazy ideas? Well, they have been indoctrinated now all the way through public school, and then the colleges provide them with everything from meeting places to grants to keep this inspiration going.

Here we celebrate - er, eviscerate - the most outlandish idiocy of the "activists". But the default, average, common level of idiocy in which every student marinates (at most places), when it comes to shaping mindsets of the citizenry - it's in front of you, it's next to you, it's under and above you.
And then there's the toxic impact of the "education" complex on a host of public issues, from climate nonsense to social policies, where a circular system of public $ and politicized "academia" churns out "research" that actually shapes our lives (almost exclusively for the worse).

There are real adults in the Democratic Party, and I predict that they will eventually regain control of it. It may take a few cycles and a second Trump term, but it will have to happen.
Now, whether the party remains in one piece or not is another question.

Due process is the ideal to be strived for, and is, in most cases achievable.
But self defense (and the related "defense of a third person") take IMMEDIATE precedence over due process.
There's no "due process" in castle doctrine either, there's straight up self defense. Changing that would be an absurd assault on natural rights for legalistic reasons.

Due process is the ideal to be strived for, and is, in most cases achievable.
But self defense (and the related "defense of a third person") take IMMEDIATE precedence over due process.

The protest against police brutality extends to the innocent and the guilty alike, because we know that no matter the crime, justice and due process don't come from a cop's bullet.
***
One side complaint about modern political thought is that we've fetishized the processes by which we live in a free society such that we value them over said free society.
We have due process because we want to make sure that we punish the correct individual for a crime, not because due process in and of itself is valuable.
If someone is engaged in Jihad when shot, we have a high degree of evidence that they are in fact guilty.
Of course when given the chance the police should offer a suspect a chance to surrender, but justice was clearly served here, and amusingly the penalty meted out - death - was more justice then what the jihadi would have gotten if he had surrendered.

As an adjunct to this thread, a friend of mine posted this morning on FB that she and a group she belongs that train therapy dogs were invited by Bowling Green University to bring their therapy dogs yesterday to BGSU so that student's who were stressed over taking their finals could sit and pet the dogs and be comforted
She is normally a very right leaning person and she proudly posted this along with photos of the poor snowflakes sitting on the floor hugging pooches.
I can't rip on it as she loves doing her therapy work with the dogs, which usually is done in nursing homes, hospitals, etc.
But it made me ill. We have colleges that are creating an entire generation of immature babies.

The left believes that they can take advantage of any race or class based conflict. It appears in the last election they specifically lost because of class...but race keeps them in every election.
If blacks voted similarly to other members of the same class as them, the Democrats would be any more confined to their tiny enclaves, and would never win national elections.

They don't even widely publish the stories where the rare bad apple police officer did have a bad shoot because they don't want majority opinion agreeing "that was a case of brutality or shooting in panic" while the PD in question apologizes and settles. They only push incidents where people who read the facts will agree with a "justified" conclusion so they can whine about racism.

During the commission of a crime, if you present a clear and present danger to the public at large and to law enforcement and you refuse to obey lawful orders, then you probably are committing suicide by cop. The OSU Yute of Color was committing an act of jihad in which he both wanted and expected to die.

The blame goes to the Federal Gov. who dictates that colleges who take any kind of federal funding, including students with federal loans and grants, are fully subject to all the rules, regs, etc of the Dept. of Education and the DoJ. It's why schools have Departments of Diversity and Inclusion(exact title of the one at OSU). It's why a black female coach was fired from a college this week for suspending two of her female basketball players who were engaging in a sexual relationship against team rules, which the school says violates Title IX according to a Federal judges ruling. On and on and on.
Kasich can't do anything about this crap. it will be up to the next administration to start to remove these insane regulations and requirements on colleges.

So I guess the other work possibility is community organizing, i.e. rabble rousing. What else are they suited for?

What about a cop's baton or stun gun? Is it just bullets? What about non-cops? Does this extend to other violent offenses, like rape? Should we let campus rapists finish and then neatly and orderly escort them to the police station so they can face due process, or can we stop a rape in progress as long as we aren't a cop and don't use a gun? Perhaps we should ask the rapist if he only rapes because he had a difficult childhood, or because he feels oppressed by Donald Trump, and if so, let him finish.

Cops should be able to shoot the weapon from the perp's hand, which as we see on TV, is very easy to do. Victim status is above all other law, and is skin color based only .... only whites can be racist.
Poor college kids, filled with PC Cult rules, then facing extreme cognitive dissonance when reality confronts/stabs them in the face. It sent Kanye to the padded room, but he will get no help there, unless a Trump supporter is his therapist.

Another factor in this whole mess has been the
Everybody Goes To College movement
wherein people who are not smart, disciplined, or even marginally college material go to college because the colleges admit them not as students, but as paying customers. So now you have marginal people studying made up majors who know they have no future in the real world. So they try to make a name for themselves so they can get a following that will make them relevant.
Ima go out on a limb here and say, right here, right now:

Those students with pride and aggression are being "woke," but waking closer to /pol than anything leftist approved. Meanwhile, the leftists grow fatter and dumber under their lord Obama.
It's going to be a beautiful morning soon, and colleges will be sorely unprepared for anything involving hardship. All we have to do is sit back and watch the show.

They can attend police academies. Let them put their own safety on the line. Let them deal with the dregs of society.

The left is of two views of the police.
The most common view is the one you saw in the 60s - the police are inherently evil. If you get rid of police you will get rid of "bad" crime. People will still from the rich...but that is ok.
The view of the police from the left's hierarchy though is that they are useful in enforcing left wing dictates.
These conflicting views are why you will see liberals complaining about "pigs" and then proclaiming that Christians should be arrested if they don't serve gay "weddings"

This possibility is not something to shy away from. The protest against police brutality extends to the innocent and the guilty alike, because we know that no matter the crime, justice and due process don't come from a cop's bullet.
Oh sheesh. The omg but if you shoot someone who is hurting you then you execute them without due process screeching doesn't even rise to the level of argument.
That stance is a repudiation of the notion that a person is entitled to defend himself and the notion that the police are allowed to use force to defend others.
It's an utter inversion of moral and natural rights.
Note also the smug condescension contained in the this is not something to shy away from. That's a tacit admission that the stance being presented contains within it moral difficulties but there is no actual attempt to address those difficulties. It's not enough to say this is a problem, that problem must also be addressed.

>>>Ugh, crap like this makes me hate the left and the media. They don't even widely publish the stories where the rare bad apple police officer did have a bad shoot because they don't want majority opinion agreeing "that was a case of brutality or shooting in panic" while the PD in question apologizes and settles. They only push incidents where people who read the facts will agree with a "justified" conclusion so they can whine about racism.

My mentor and I have had this fight repeatedly. And she basically falls back on that standard atheist claptrap that rights have to flow from somewhere and since there is no God, well...it must be government.
Which ignores tons of humanist arguments in favor of natural rights, but..whatever I guess.
There's a lot of conflation too between the natural rights and the sort of things that are confused as rights but that are really privileges we carve out because we're America and America is awesome. So inevitably someone will pull one of those out and you'll have to say "well that's not really a right as much as a privilege that we have by virtue of living in an awesome country."
I can't think of any off the top of my head, but inevitably one will crop up as soon as I hit post. (Driving comes close, but most people recognize that's not really a right.)

McMorris-Rodgers?
Provisional "ugh".
Only time she's popped up on the radar was to be pathetically weaselly and s**t in the default GOPe manner, when the "opposition" in the House was surrendering their constitutional power over $$$$.
Does she have some background in trying to scale back Interior's heavy hand, in returning "public" lands to actual public use (incl. via handing them back to the states)? There must be something there.
Greedy is no way to approach these things, but it would be nice to have a few bomb-throwers in the cabinet (and some of the good choices so far just seem that way, because of the context of current and recent national drift into idiocy at high levels).

In that exact form?
No, but I have noted repeatedly that if government defines rights they can simply take them away.
I usually get a "well governments DO do that, see...[insert Russia, Nazi's etc.]"
This loses the forest for the trees a bit. Yes there are a large number of illegitimate governments (from a moral standpoint w/o getting into weeds on recognizing said governments) but merely despairing that governments fall into tyranny as an argument that we should let governments decide is dumb.
The argument against it is long, drawn out, and done better by others, so I usually just throw up my hands at that point.

Moron Pundit: "You know why they call it "social justice?" Because it is different than "justice." All actual justice is individual and specific. Social justice is just a way to be a bigot but dodge the stigma."
Well said. I'd just add that "social justice" is just authoritarianism with a (tissue-thin) veil of righteousness, it's empowered bigotry.
And yes, religious institutions - even huge ones - this means you.

In that exact form?
No, but I have noted repeatedly that if government defines rights they can simply take them away.
I usually get a "well governments DO do that, see...[insert Russia, Nazi's etc.]"
This loses the forest for the trees a bit. Yes there are a large number of illegitimate governments (from a moral standpoint w/o getting into weeds on recognizing said governments) but merely despairing that governments fall into tyranny as an argument that we should let governments decide is dumb.
The argument against it is long, drawn out, and done better by others, so I usually just throw up my hands at that point.

I suppose that if I were ever to give that quippy argument, I'd follow up with something like, "Well, then it's in my right to vote for people who will take your rights away because the government is the ultimate source of it."
It'd be more of a foot stamping thing hoping to get them to think on their own, but it probably wouldn't work. There's too much homework involved.

There's a lot of conflation too between the natural rights and the sort of things that are confused as rights but that are really privileges we carve out because we're America and America is awesome. So inevitably someone will pull one of those out and you'll have to say "well that's not really a right as much as a privilege that we have by virtue of living in an awesome country."

This reminded me of this oriental (Chinese, I think) guy sitting in the front row at my Concealed Carry class, asking the instructor all day, creating some weird scenario about someone either coming to his door, entering his house, calling him names, etc. and wanting know if it was ok to shoot him.
No matter how many times the instructor tried to explain the concept of Lethal Force to him, he didn't get it. He just wanted to be able to shoot somebody.

Texas may have found the answer to PP. They are working on legislation that will require aborted fetal tissue to be either cremated or buried, so that PP can no longer sell baby bits for big bucks.

I think the tissue/body parts of anyone executed should not be available for "donation," period.
This goes for the pre-born as well as for criminals deservedly put to death and the victims of "mercy-killing."
If we are going to have state-sanctioned/licensed killing --- and I , for one, want it for the most heinous murderers --- let's be sure that there is no profit from it, no conflict of interest, so to speak.

Assuming there is something that can be done regarding the SJW/BLM tribes ripping at the fabric of society, how long will it take to repair what they've done? Can it even be repaired?
Personally, I don't think there can be any repair. You've enabled a minority to express themselves in an ever increasingly crazy manner. Every outburst that gets no reaction will provoke another more disturbing outburst, IMHO. It's part "justice" and part "narcissism". Everyone wants to be the special snowflake of the day.
A false narrative has been reinforced upon certain gullible peoples and they truly believe they are in a battle to the death. If logic and reason cannot overcome that, what chance do we have in regards to creating a society where all peoples live in relative peace with one another?
I just don't see a way out of this, other than waiting for this particular generation of idiots to die of old age and hoping that they don't have many children upon whom they thrust their crazy.

Yeah, not gonna lie, lots of Chinese I've met have a fascination with guns that makes American Gun culture look like a mere hobby.
I think it's because they're entirely off limits there, so it's something they've literally never seen in person before (much less handled.)
Having said all that, if you enter my house without the permission of one of my family (or I suppose another guest I invited in) all bets are off. (I leave big exemption in there, because tempting though it may be, I won't be shooting my daughter's boyfriends when she gets older just because I don't' want them around.)

Yep. Instead of playing with play doh and coloring (and wtf with coloring anyway? I've sat with small nieces and nephews and colored with them just to humor them. I didn't find it "relaxing." Since I'm an adult with an IQ in triple digits, I found it boring), the snowflakes would be better off sitting in the library cramming for the exam.
Of course, nowadays with grade inflation, perhaps everyone gets an A anyway. Why even have finals? Or classes? Just announce on the first day of class that everyone passes and gets gold stars.

The right to a trial by a jury of your peers is a right created by government.
=========================
Perhaps we mean the same thing in the end, but I don't agree with this wording. "Rights" are either natural rights, or they are created by people. Government is instituted by people to protect and defend rights.
Government itself "creates" no rights at all, at least in our system. The right to a jury trial by peers is a mechanism created by people to ensure the right to justice, and making sure governments don't trample that right.

Another factor in this whole mess has been the
Everybody Goes To College movement
wherein people who are not smart, disciplined, or even marginally college material go to college because the colleges admit them not as students, but as paying customers. So now you have marginal people studying made up majors who know they have no future in the real world. So they try to make a name for themselves so they can get a following that will make them relevant.
This.
Way too many people go to college. If a person doesn't use his college training in a later job, he wasted his time going to college at all.
Yeah, I'm looking at you, sociology majors.

Re coloring for adults - I'm kind of torn on that since I do enjoy painting (badly) as a way to de-stress and I've seen some of these coloring books - you can get fairly complicated using different types of pens etc and I can see how that could be relaxing for some people.

A big part of this is the media of course.
The OSU Jihadi will generate less news coverage then David Duke, "Russian" hacking, or that Trump said a naughty word.
It could be worse though.
If the German media covered the recent rape and murder of a young German woman by a "refugee" as they would if the situation was reversed I imagine that Merkel would be getting the Ceausescu treatment.

I said this last month. We need a shit ton of Dean Wormer types in college campus administrations to combat this insanity. Okay sure he deployed a kangaroo court against the Deltas but he sure as hell wouldn't have put up with this SJW/micro-aggression bullshit for one second.
A prime example is the scene when Otter is bullshitting by saying how unfortunate it is that a few bad apples have to ruin it for everyone else. Wormer, not buying it at all responds with the classic line "Put a sock in it boy or else you'll be out of here like shit through a goose."
That scene always cracks me up but at the same time it gives me chills because you knew Wormer fucking meant it.

When I was a freshman in college, 1968, when you had a full professor for a class, he gave you The Talk.
"You're adults now. I don't take attendance. I don't care if you come to class or not. If you don't show up, you'll fail exams and flunk out. Your parents will be out a lot of money. It's not my problem."
Today a professor who talked to students like that would probably be charged with a hate crime. Or have to take sensitivity training, which is even worse.

>>If the German media covered the recent rape and murder of a young German
woman by a "refugee" as they would if the situation was reversed I
imagine that Merkel would be getting the Ceausescu treatment.
That case is SO BAD. He was a refugee "youth" who said he was 17 and is really in his mid-20's --- and he's likely to have committed another rape/murder. Got the Gosnell "local story" treatment while the victim's parents freakin' raised money for refugees ate her funeral. I cannot put my head around behaving like that.

When I was a freshman in college, 1968, when you had a full professor for a class, he gave you The Talk.
"You're adults now. I don't take attendance. I don't care if you come to class or not. If you don't show up, you'll fail exams and flunk out. Your parents will be out a lot of money. It's not my problem."
I didn't bother with The Talk, but I'm sure my students took away the same message from conversations such as this:
"If I don't get an 'A' in your course, I won't get into medical school!"
"Hmm. Sounds like you've got yourself quite a problem." /said with subtle emphasis on the reflexive pronouns

A prime example is the scene when Otter is bullshitting by saying how unfortunate it is that a few bad apples have to ruin it for everyone else. Wormer, not buying it at all responds with the classic line "Put a sock in it boy or else you'll be out of here like shit through a goose."
That scene always cracks me up but at the same time it gives me chills because you knew Wormer fucking meant it.
Well yes, but. Because Wormer was the square, the drunk loser guys were the coolest, and in the end the losers won!
So as funny and classic as Animal House is, it really is a marker of our societal collapse.
I didn't watch Fast Times back in the day (it was my era) and then I saw the whole thing on IFC recently.

If you are walking around (and you aren't a child), you don't need a teddy bear, live or stuffed or otherwise.
You may even WANT one, but you don't need one.

When I had an emergency c-section, my right side wasn't numbed. At all. Anesthesiologist didn't believe me.
I now know what it feels like to have my belly sliced open. Slowly. Something I'll never, ever forget.

THE STUDENT IS THREATENED WITH EXPULSION for the mere act of documenting his teacher's outrageous behavior.
Furthermore, THE TEACHER'S UNION IS NOW THREATENING THE STUDENT.
***
Now the proper response* to that, and a great opening for DeVos, would be to cut off all federal funds to CA schools until the entire administration involved with the decision, and the teacher himself, are fired.
Interestingly, because CA is so far afield form the rest of the US politically, and because there is no chance of Republicans winning there in the forseeable future, it would be really, really smart politics for Trump and co to intentionally go after the state in such a manner.
*Yes yes, there should be no DoEd or federal funds to begin with

I have a question: why do they deprecate our society, culture, and people in favor of obviously failed societies, cultures, and peoples?
If you come here, shut up and learn from white Anglo-Saxon culture, and thank God you're not still in the armpit of a country you came from, which probably is a less congenial place to live than the primate enclosure at the zoo. After all, how many refugees try to sneak INTO Somalia?

So glad that our new head of Labor found a home for her in another kind of ad.

"In some cases, the deceased may have committed acts of violence against others before they were killed," gender studies student Maryam Abidi said at the event, according to The Lantern. "Perhaps they were domestic abusers, perhaps they threatened or killed others. This possibility is not something to shy away from. The protest against police brutality extends to the innocent and the guilty alike, because we know that no matter the crime, justice and due process don't come from a cop's bullet."
Ooooooh, I see. The cop was supposed to let him continue stabbing people.

I thought about it, then said no, just do it under general anesthesia.
I'm doubly glad now that I did!

Much of what we call natural rights come from a very specific source--the Founding Fathers by way of Christianity by way of Judaism. Most of the legal accompaniment in the U.S. comes from modern arguments between Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, and Blackstone (not so much Rousseau).
Most of these philosophers agree that you have a natural right to preserve your life. Beyond that, not much agreement even on items such as property. Both Hobbes and Rousseau for example reject that as a right Hobbes rejects the right to revolt against an unjust government. Rousseau and to some degree Locke argue for it. And so on.
The notion of negative rights where the government lacks to power to do something innately is somewhat of a lost concept even in England. The notion of positive rights, which should really be known as privileges, where government guarantees through coercive force is ascendant today.
Students today find it unthinkable the idea that the U.S. government should be limited to its enumerated powers even if the government's goal is really desirable. Many, if not most, subscribe to the idea of Rousseau's "general will" is always correct but its implementation leaves a lot to be desired because lawmakers are not always as enlightened as they should be.
What they do not realize is that Rousseau was merely inverting the old divine right of kings and substituting the people for a king. Thus, when the general will needs to eliminate deviationists for the good of the community--enlightened legislators will do so without wringing their hands about liberty. Burke was not wrong in blaming Rousseau for many of the excesses of the French Revolution.
