Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Report — 5/4/23![]() A 30-year-old man was choked to death on a Manhattan train Monday after he threatened straphangers, police said. Another subway rider stepped in and put the man in a headlock when he began acting erratically and making threats on the northbound F train just before 2:30 p.m., according to police. The man lost consciousness. EMS at the Broadway–Lafayette Street/Bleecker Street station were unable to revive him, cops said. A 24-year-old man was taken into custody, police said. It was not immediately clear if he would face charges. The man who died had numerous prior arrests for offenses including assault, disorderly conduct, and fare beating, law enforcement sources said.That story is from Tuesday when the situation was still somewhat fluid. But let's fill in some of the blanks shall we? The deceased – I refuse to refer to him as a victim – was black and the man who restrained him was white and a Marine. Add that to the fact that the Mayor of New York City is Eric Adams and the District Attorney is Alving Bragg. The city medical examiner has ruled the death of a homeless man choked by a Marine on the subway earlier this week a homicide — as prosecutors mulled whether to pursue charges. Jordan Neely’s cause of death was “compression of neck (chokehold)” and the manner constituted a homicide, the medical examiner determined Wednesday afternoon. Neely, 30, was reportedly homeless and having a mental episode onboard an F train in lower Manhattan Monday afternoon when another straphanger jumped in to restrain him, according to police and witness accounts. The wannabe vigilante, identified as a 24-year-old Marine from Queens, took down Neely from behind and placed him in a chokehold for about 15 minutes, police said."Wannabe vigilante." I am this close to embargoing the New York Post again for this kind of yellow hack "journalism." Continuing . . . At the time of his death, he had a warrant out for his arrest in a November 2021 case where he was accused of assaulting a 67-year-old woman in the East Village, the sources said. The Marine was taken into custody immediately following the deadly encounter but was released without charges. . . . . . Native New Yorker and Brooklyn resident Lizzie No called the lack of charges “an outrage.”If that isn't the one of the oldest, most worn out obvious Marxist talking points from out of the filthy sewer of "Doctor" No Lizzie, I don't know what is. She's an obvious rent-a-tovarich from Central-Committee Casting. Continuing. . . Neely’s fans included Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine. “I saw Jordan Neely perform his Michael Jackson routine many times on the A train,” Levine said on Twitter Wednesday. “He always made people smile. “Our broken mental health system failed him,” Levine wrote. “He deserved help, not to die in a chokehold on the floor of the subway.”The mental health system is "broken," Mark Levine, because you and your fellow travelers drove people insane with the sexual revolution, free love, feminism, the drug culture and the destruction of the family — and now "transsexualism." And the manifesto of the Democrat-Leftist tranny terrorist who shot up a Christian school is still being embargoed. No, Levine. You choked this poor psycho to death. You and yours have his blood and the blood of tens of thousands of others like him on your hands. And now, with the intentional decriminalizing of crime as well as the unleashing of the mentally ill onto our streets, you and yours have the fucking unmitigated temerity to on the one hand double down on the defunding of police forces while at the same time blaming the mayhem on we the people, the victims? They're trying to turn this into another George Floyd situation. I can smell it a mile away, like the sense memory of the smell of burned popcorn and urine from Union Square, one stop up the line. Were this any time prior to the coming of the Bill DeBolshevik era, I'd question what this Marine did. In fact, something like this outburst back then was rare to the point of never happening. Today? it's a dime a dozen in every part of the city. For those unaware, Broadway-Lafayette is at the confluence of SoHo, Greenwich Village and Nolita, some of the most expensive, toniest and tourist-packed neighborhoods in town. At least they used to be. Let's set the Wayback Machine to just over one year ago, this time in Brooklyn. A madman disguised as a construction worker turned a Brooklyn subway car into a bloodbath during the early-morning rush Tuesday, setting off smoke bombs before opening fire and wounding 29, officials said. The shooter — who has yet to be apprehended — was wearing a neon orange and green construction vest and a neon green helmet and muttering to himself on a Manhattan-bound N train when he unleashed bloody havoc just before 8:30 a.m. The gunman suddenly put on a gas mask and released two smoke grenades as the car pulled into the 36th Street station in Sunset Park, cops said. “Oops, my bad,” the suspect mumbled, according to witness Fitim Gjeloshi, after opening the canister and then pulling out an ax and dropping it to the floor. As the crowded subway car filled with smoke, the shooter took out a 9mm semiautomatic Glock and fired 33 rounds at commuters, hitting 10 victims and leaving at least 19 others wounded. Those hurt included two teens ages 15 and 19, a pregnant woman who was shot in the leg, seven men and three women, law-enforcement sources said.Miraculously, no one was killed. But let's imagine if someone saw this fiend and put him in a strangle hold just before pulling the trigger. Add this to the rapes, robberies, murders and shoving onto the tracks that New Yorkers and collectively all of us have had to endure in one form or another in our cities – and please do NOT judge everyone who still has to endure life in them who do not vote Democrat and cannot escape – and you can understand why the Marine did what he did. It's regrettable but completely understandable. Meh, to Hell with that.

Heavenly Father, you hold us all in Your merciful hand from Your glorious kingdom where sin has no place.
We start this day, acknowledging You in all ways. We admit that our many desires and tribulations both distract us from Your primacy in our lives. But we remember at this time that nothing good comes to us today that You have not first granted us, indeed our very breath and consciousness. We boast only in Your son, that He took upon Himself the iniquity of us all that we might be reconciled to you and live life eternal in Your glorious presence. Father, we are angry and downtrodden. Our world seems to be crumbling and our children under attack by the dark forces in other realms that invade our world. You tell us through Your holy word, that tribulation produces perseverance. Though we confess we do not always understand Your workings, we hope that this time of strife in our nation may be the tribulation necessary to strengthen us as a nation, if not as individuals. Let us marvel at all You gloriously created today and be your hands and feet, for You placed us here for such a time as this. Your will, in Your perfect time, in Your undeniable way be done.

Trump doing a CNN town hall could be a great idea, if he's at the top of his game. And willing to say what he thinks is needed as in 2016. ex; build the wall.
Now he can take straight shots at the Biden/Democrat economy in particular. And talk about it under his watch. The discussion (even if he has to drag it there) of gasoline and energy prices is going to be lit. The downside is that every single question is going to be a "trick"-question. But if Trump trumps in that lame-ass format, he wins bigly! Posted by: naturalfake at May 04, 2023 07:51 AM (RJQ8g) 8

Sundance is pitching the idea that the Dems are targeting Biden, that's why this FBI form is being leaked, and that he won't run.
We differ in our opinions here about what is really going on with Biden - many thought he wouldn't survive the election, make it to inauguration, finish the first year, would resign just after the 2d year, would not announce for a second term.... And here we are. Biden has already announced he is running. So that can't be true. Posted by: blaster at May 04, 2023 08:01 AM (pwExq) 32

The city medical examiner has ruled the death of a homeless man choked by a Marine on the subway earlier this week a homicide — as prosecutors mulled whether to pursue charges. ...
... The wannabe vigilante, identified as a 24-year-old Marine from Queens, took down Neely from behind and placed him in a chokehold for about 15 minutes, police said. ++++ Careful, NYP. This particular combination is how you get actual vigilantism. If my reading of the story is correct, a crazy vagrant with a lengthy criminal record was wandering the streets at least in part because of NYC's system of legalized crime. The vagrant started harassing and threatening riders on a subway. A bystander, fearing for himself or for others, subdued the vagrant. The vagrant died in the process. And in response, the NYC authorities are considering reversing their crime-is-legal policy to charge the bystander. This kind of egregious double standard and arbitrary action is what causes vigilantism. They will get more, not less, if they proceed. They can crucify the bystander if they wish. They have the authority and power to do so. But it will just encourage more of the same. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at May 04, 2023 08:06 AM (O4oKn) 56

So I read the big study everyone cites about drugs for trans helping:
1. One of the drugs is regular birth control pills for regulating hormones and periods. 2. The drug use was self reported. There was no blood test that quantitatively measured hormone levels. 3. It start with about 150 teenagers but only 104 participated. Where are the other 9? 4. All reported being worse off at 90 days. 5. All reported less issues after 9 months and 12 months. So after a year of therapy they felt better. Was it the meds or was it the therapy? 6. There is no report of who took what. How many were given dangerous puberty blocking drugs vs traditional hormones. 7. There have been zero follow ups to the 104. ZERO Posted by: rhennigantx at May 04, 2023 08:06 AM (BRHaw) 58

"There but for the grace of God, that could've been me in that subway car at Broadway-Lafayette. If I'm honest with myself, I'd've probably done nothing and watched in horror as that psycho started assaulting someone."
That's some brutal honesty, JJ. And probably the smartest move today. In my "Wear and Carry" class (the People's Republic of MD requires a permit to exercise your 2nd amendment "rights"), our instructor - a retired MD State Trooper - strongly advised AGAINST heroic actions for those who carry. He repeatedly stressed the reality of the law vs what your instincts tell you is "the right thing to do". The reality is, if you pull your weapon (and God forbid actually fire it at someone), you better be able to "prove" that you were in fear for your own life or an immediate family member / loved one. As I am teaching my boys about firearms usage and safety, we have MANY discussions about which scenarios should / would result in using a firearm toward someone. Need to know that BEFORE the situation arises. Same can be said for any other method of defending yourself - fists, chokehold, etc. Start with SELF defense, and proceed very gingerly from there.

“New Yorkers don’t deserve to be killed just for being poor,” No, 32, told The Post at the vigil-turned-protest.
++++ Who is going around and hunting the poor for sport? Absurd, as JJ points out. The deceased was killed long before he died by NY's policies. Violent vagrants need to be dealt with. Vagrancy in general needs to be dealt with. It used to be. Vagrants had a place they could be and live their lives of insanity in relative peace. Every city has a "skid row" where the vagrants are tolerated, so long as they stay put and never bother the normals. They can do drugs, drink, fight, live under bridges, etc. - so long as they keep it in-bounds. This is the detente all major cities have had with their vagrants. But step over that invisible line or bother normals, and you get a hickory shampoo and sent to the klink. In a better time, perhaps the obvious lunatic would be institutionalized but barring that, he's sent to jail if he wanders off the reservation. If those approaches - flawed as they are - existed, this guy would probably not be dead. That's not on the bystander, that's on the rulers.

Biden has to run to stay out of jail. But if they prove he's dirty to get rid of him then he has to hope for a pardon from Kamala which will end her political career.
--- Yeah, I don't quite get this line of thinking either. "Biden has to run to stay out of jail." For one, most of his crimes almost certainly took place in Dem-friendly jurisdictions, so no one in those locales will bother to prosecute. The DOJ is already on his side so even if he's out of power, they won't prosecute. And even if someone DID prosecute, his legal team will tie up the courts to run out the clock and he'll die of natural causes long before he ever sees the inside of a jail.

The mental health system is "broken," Mark Levine, because you and your fellow travelers drove people insane with the sexual revolution, free love, feminism, the drug culture and the destruction of the family — and now "transsexualism."
++++ Eh, perhaps though I think not really. That kind of crazy isn't usually street-person crazy - it operates at higher levels in the civilization. Street-level crazy and vagrancy are usually drug-related, so the "drug culture" you call out doesn't help a bit and makes it worse. But that didn't break the mental health system, either. The government, run by leftists, did. They are the ones who closed the insane asylums, cast the lunatics out into the cities, and then destroyed the system of law and order that kept them contained.

Meanwhile, the right is not only not trying to stop it, they are gleefully celebrating the Marxist Left doing this. The destruction of Disney and the destruction of Bud Light brand are two prime examples. The Marxist Left will continue to do this for every single institution, brand and corporation until they either have control of them all or have destroyed them all.

In the red states, the rural/suburban interface is a bright line and the suburban/urban interface is muddy. In the blue states, the rural/suburban interface is muddy, since the hive's cancer has usually consumed its inner surrounds already.

>>But I also don't think these outcomes are "planned," exactly. I think the rulers who impose the systems that make these outcomes likely do know that they are likely, and do not care if they come to pass. I doubt most of them actually want casual homicide in broad daylight as a goal in and of itself, but they don't care if it happens as a consequence.
After covid, the masks ripped off and people openly saying others deserved to die (from anons on twitter up to highest government officials and the WEF class), I cannot give the benefit of the doubt. Think there are some who want the homicides, who want the fentanyl deaths, who want the suicide -- they see it as getting rid of problematic unproductive and/or uncooperative people. They want their utopia NOW, dangit, and it some eggs have to be broken, whatever! Posted by: Lizzy at May 04, 2023 08:29 AM (EdLEa) 133
Surely they don't believe their own bullshit about how not jailing people means there will be less crime. Whether they knew the specific vector - agressive panhandlers, Cartel enforcers, flashmobs of looters - they intended for bad outcomes to punish the normies.
Posted by: blaster at May 04, 2023 08:28 AM (pwExq) ++++ On that I agree. They are sowing chaos on purpose. I took your comment to mean that "they knew" the specific outcomes, and that they would see rising arbitrary street violence in particular.

As I told my spouse, Batman rose up in Gotham City b/c there was a degree of lawlessness so unbelievable that people were willing to accept a man in a bat suit to save them b/c no one else would...
NYC has reached the lawlessness of Gotham...so I expect, just like when the Fairfax grand jury would not indict the cops for shooting a "known problem" last month, I don't think a NY jury will ever convict, let alone even indict, this marine. He did everyone a favor, doing what the law has continually refused to do - take a problem out of the community. He just happened to accidentally do it permanently, although I wonder if we'll later find some drugs that sped it up and made it more possible than what would normally reasonably happen...

Self defense...
Several months ago there was an incident nearby. A home owner and another individual who did not live at the property got into a heated argument. The visitor was told to leave and he did not. Instead he made threatening remarks and charged towards the homeowner. The homeowner shot the visitor, but did not kill him. The Sheriff was dispatched, but did not arrest the homeowner. The visitor survived with a minor wound. This is a very rural area. That the homeowner even called the Sheriff is remarkable. Posted by: Martini Farmer at May 04, 2023 08:37 AM (Q4IgG) 162

Societal destruction is the goal, with a rebuild after the destruction.
How can a people, who only know destruction, ugliness, hate, sloth, and corruption "build" anything? Socialism works until you run out of other people's money. From a spiritual standpoint, the building blocks are God, family, community. Traditional Values work to hold a society together. Only high-trust societies can flourish. They are destroying all of that, to be replaced by what? Ugliness? Depravity? Corruption? Hate? Low-trust society where no one wants to business with anyone else (they will be glad to steal from others) because of the high chance of being a victim?

Anyone looking to flee a country who can get into any country in Latin America will do so and then head north. I saw a profile of a few people who did this from China. They go from China to a country with visa agreements with China - Macau (still China), Malaysia, Turkey, etc. Then they hop to an intermediate country like France or South Africa, that has visa agreements with the first country. Then they hop to a South or Central American country. Then they join a migrant caravan and head north. The routes these people take to get to Latin America are often very convoluted, but once there they hook up with a train of invaders and make for the border. No coyotes, no smuggling structures of their own, etc. They just ride for free on the existing system. When they get popped by BP - they often walk directly to BP officers and turn themselves in - they make asylum claims, take advantage of catch-and-release, and melt into the interior.

Boomer Dad explains why America is experiencing labor issues and hits the nail on the head...adding that workers were always rewarded for their contributions in those days. "When a company did well, that profit was shared with the employees. Today, 'the f*cking evil business owners' keep it all for themselves," they wrote, which probably explains the income inequality gap in the country...U.S. education system is inherently and intentionally racist," they wrote before adding, "I love my Dad."
There's a noticeable difference in opportunities for my millennial kids compared to when I was young. Wages haven't kept up with costs. Housing, in particular, is much more costly than it was when I was young. And college costs are much higher, leaving young people with high debts. It's a nightmare. In our area, even very small houses cost $300k and up. The house my spouse and I bought for $74k in 1985 - and sold for not much more in 1991 - recently sold for $500k. Salaries are not six times higher. Posted by: Intrepid Democratic Underground AoS Liaison at May 04, 2023 08:42 AM (OP3sN) 180

Other than the obvious political aspects of it. It has long been a theory of mine that cities must have a life-cycle that includes death because ripping out the old infrastructure to be replaced by something all together new is far more expensive than building on green fields.

The plan is to rebuild with far less wealth, divided amongst far, far fewer people, with a massive downtrodden underclass, as always.
I'm not sure that is even remotely possible. It literally takes hands-on to create wealth. The laptop class produces nothing of value except for the value-add of working out optimizations. Food still needs to be grown, water sanitized, power generated/distributed, clothes made, couter-acting all of the natural forces that will consume anything left to the elements. And all of the myriad of steps in the supply-chain to get there. Seems to me, the disposable people are the ones who are orchestrating all of this. They create no wealth, they only consume it and destroy those who made it. Posted by: Reuben Hick at May 04, 2023 08:48 AM (YXHzG) 209

That and I lay odds that they have topped out on what can reasonably be done with natural gas, particularly in terms of siting pump stations, distribution and storage.
Posted by: Reuben Hick at May 04, 2023 08:44 AM (YXHzG) ++++ I think it's something different. We have a serious natural gas problem in this country, and it's related to fracking. When you frack for oil, you also get gas. We had a long fracking boom. Bush 43 helped lay the groundwork, Obama declined to ruin it, Trump accelerated it hard. We ended up with a *lot* of natural gas. Too much, and so it sold for below cost. Better something than nothing. As a result, natural gas had been selling for under the cost of production for more than a decade, subsidized - in effect - by oil. Everything switched to it. Power generation, industry, home heating, etc. Now those conditions are over. Biden has destroyed fracking and there is a long tail on that even if the war on fracking ends. Now the party is over and we will need every cubic foot of gas for power generation and industry. Getting households off gas will relieve some of the supply pressure.

Gas has been hilariously cheap for a long time now thanks to fracking, and everything pivoted to use it. Now that fracking is being destroyed, costs are spiking. You can have all the reserves on earth, but if you don't produce them then they never make it to market. The production out of traditional gas fields is continuing, but at a much higher price. If you can't - or won't - increase supply, the way to bring the price down is to decrease demand. I think that's a major motivation behind the push to get natural gas out of houses and non-industrial businesses. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at May 04, 2023 09:02 AM (O4oKn) 260

Posted by: Reuben Hick at May 04, 2023 08:59 AM (YXHzG) ++++ They have high confidence in their own powers. It's profoundly arrogant. Their vision of the future is one of incredible consolidation, where everything essentially becomes monopoly. The oligarchs own those monopolies, and most of the wealth of the world is concentrated in them. Production itself is handled by automation and AI. Everything is increasingly robotic, and the needs of the robots will define design (if the robo-plumber can't work in your house, your house needs to change - or you move into a robo-friendly tower block and occupy your 300 sq ft pod). The plutocrats own the wealth, there is a thin and very well-paid smearing of engineers who keep the automation working. Everyone else lives in their pods and hang out in metaverse. They spend their UBI checks on products sold or leased by the oligarchs who gave them the UBI via the governments they maintain for their own benefit.

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at May 04, 2023 09:15 AM (89L3N) ++++ The county has to register the transaction to maintain the deed. It's unfathomable that they don't know the purchase price. That stuff is public record, at least in every state that I have encountered. It's easy enough to find out. Your tax bill has the assessment. Is the assessment higher, lower or the same as your purchase price? If it's the same or lower, your appeal will probably not go well since they will say - correctly - that the house is obviously worth that much since you paid that much for it and there has been no general housing price decline (unless there *has* been a decline, of course).

Texas is a no-report state. Transaction prices do not have to be revealed to the tax assessor. Ironically, Texas law requires them to be within a few percent of the property's market value. I'm not sure how long it will be (it may be happening now), where, like high-tax NJ, the assessor uses permits, drones, satellite images and Lowes Depot receipts to guesstimate how improvements increase your rent to the county. Posted by: Reuben Hick at May 04, 2023 09:19 AM (YXHzG) 314
Tennessee law maintains that the tax rates be revenue neutral in regards to property taxes.
In other words (and I simplify here, because Tennessee only taxes a percentage of home value), if your house is with $100,000 and the tax rate is 2% you pay $2000. But if your house is reassessed at $125,000, your tax bill is still $2000, and your effective tax rate is now 1.6%. This is done to make sure that effective rates across that board are still forced to be done by the legislative process. If your local government wants to raise more revenue, they have two avenues, encourage growth and expand the tax base or raise taxes by a legislative vote to increase the base tax rate and face the potential consequences at the polls.

@MattWalshBlog 22m AOC, an elected official, is demanding that a citizen who hasn't even been arrested be pronounced guilty of murder without trial or even a criminal charge. She is openly calling for a public lynching of one of her own constituents. She is a truly evil person. Well, it worked against Derek Chauvin.

Looking around at our current situation, it's okay to admit that the South was right and within the structure of the Constitution and framing of the country even if you've been taught differently for your entire life.

... And not to put too fine a point on my Brother's statement - my prop tax for the year here in TN is roughly equal to what I paid in OH for one month. Roughly equivalent home value. ...
Posted by: Tonypete at May 04, 2023 09:27 AM (qoGsy) ++++ When I was pulling up stakes, one of the places on my list of potential new homes was Ohio. I like southwestern OH. I like Cincinnati. I like the surrounding areas. I could afford a house there. The property taxes are one of the major factors in my removing OH from my list. Looking at the tax histories of properties, I saw these massive jumps whenever the house changed hands. I did some digging and found that the first post-sale assessment reset to around the sale price, and the millage was so high that it was a really meaningful difference, especially if the house had been owned for quite some time prior to the sale. When I estimated the property taxes based on the likely sale price, I looked at the final number and said, "nope. It ain't gonna be Ohio."

@341 Hairyback Guy-We have some candidates for getting choked out or have their asses beat in my neck of the woods here in California.
All you have to do is park your vehicle at the local am-pm, quick stop, run in then look back to see the bums running out from behind the store or dumpster to open up your car door if it's unlocked to quickly grab whatever they can then bolt. You can't run into a store really quick to get a bottle of water or candy without locking your doors to your vehicle. If you don't, guaranteed you'll get ripped off, and I live in a nice area.

Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.
The mom of the suspect in the ALT shooting that killed one woman told The Daily Beast, “The damn VA gave him some messed up medication. And all he wanted was an Ativan.” She accompanied her son to the outpatient clinic, he became enraged, pulled out a hand gun. The AJC reported Benjamin N. Haynes, director of the Division of Media Relations said in an email, the “CDC is deeply saddened by the unexpected loss of a colleague killed today in the Midtown Atlanta shooting..." The awful chokehold death in NYC involving a young Marine veteran who was questioned & released by police the same day; investigation ongoing. 1/23, VA in part: Over 1.7 million Veterans received mental health services at VA last year. Our services range from peer support with other Veterans to counseling, therapy, medication, or a combination of these options. Red flag laws aimed towards veterans is not the answer. For one, a watchful eye needs to be on the VA's mental health treatment services, or lack thereof, and also on ALL of its disability ratings & awards v federal cost cutting. All imo.

I didn't suggest you did. It's just that sometimes these discussions get very acrimonious and people start saying stuff like "All Northerners are evil" or vice versa. Political and historical discussions are fine. And can be very interesting It's just that's what the left wants-for people to be divided into groups even if they're on the same side politically.

He knows that nothing humans do has any meaningful effect (compared to that of the sun) on global temperatures, no matter how much money is spent. They all know. Everyone in the leadership of the "climate change" cult knows this. The entire cult is based on the lie of CO2 emissions directly correlating to global temperatures. This has always been a lie.

"... Many economists believe the economy will slip into a recession in the third or fourth quarter of this year."
Haven't we been in a recession for over a year or so now? Isn't the only reason they get away with saying we are not in a recession that they changed the definition of recession? Similar to how they changed the definition of vaccine to fit their narrative for the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 "vaccine". In addition, an economic depression is typically a recession that lasts 2 or more years. If we have been in a recession for a year now, then come next year during the Presidential campaign, if the recession is still going, it would become a depression.
