Micah Xavier Johnson Was Very Probably Insane (Like Dylann Roof, James Holmes, Jared Loughner, Seung-Hui Cho, Adam Lanza, etc.) BUT "Black Lives Matter Movement IS a Racist, Thug-Union

Micah Xavier Johnson (above), Eric Garner (below)

By all accounts, Micah Xavier Johnson was a deeply emotionally and probably mentally troubled man. Beginning with his inability to adjust to Army life - he was served with a sexual harassment charge and an Order of Protection was filed against him by the woman who brought that original charge.

Once home, his family noted that he was increasingly quiet and became "more and more reclusive."

This is a similar pattern followed by Dylann Roof. Both Roof and Johnson were said to have had many friends of different races earlier on, but both also became fixated on extremist hate sites online.

None of this is all that surprising, given that schizophrenia often takes root in one's late teens through the 20s.

Unlike most Americans, I’ve followed ALL these high profile police shootings VERY closely. To date, ONLY 2 of all the high profile cases fit the bill for “unjustified shootings.” One was that of John Crawford III, shot and killed in an Ohio Walmart because a malicious prank 911 caller phoned in Mr. Crawford carrying an air rifle by the barrel as “an active shooter” scenario (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqZ-teZsZmo). The other was James Boyd a white homeless man shot and killed over “illegal camping” in New Mexico (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tpAZObNZfI). 2 cops were convicted of murder in that case. Well, you COULD put the case of Tamir Rice, the 12 y/o firing a pellet gun as police arrived in Cleveland in 2014, although in that case, the officer was exonerated because Tamir Rice refused to put down a pellet gun that looked very much like a real 9mm handgun.

In virtually EVERY other case in which people shot, they were either attacking police (like Michael Brownhttp://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/breaking-new-forensic-e…/ ANDhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWeA2-wdbcc), or were armed and refused to comply with police demands, or they actively resisted arrest.

A look at the Grand Jury evidence which exonerated Officer Darren Wilson in the Ferguson, MO shooting of Michael Brown, shows that Michael Brown was first shot in the interior of that squad car, as Mike Brown struggled for that cop’s gun. He NEVER had his hands up and died bull-rushing the cop after having already charged the car a 2nd time, after the first attack on Officer Wilson as Wilson sought to get out of the car.

In other words, “BLM’s “Hands Up...Don’t SHOOT” IS and always has been a LIE! (https://www.justice.gov/…/doj_report_on_shooting_of_michael…)

So many of us seem to stop reading at the HEADLINES. The real gist of any story is in the body, often deep within the body of the story and often it takes weeks for all the facts to come out.

One of the more sympathetic characters in the litany of these alleged “police abuse” cases was that of Eric Garner, BUT if you don’t know who Kizzy Adonis is, then you DON’T really know the Eric Garner case...at all.

NYPD Sgt. Kizzy Adonis was the black, female NYPD Sergeant who oversaw that incident. It was Sgt. Adonis who did not want a taser used on Mr. Garner due to his heart condition. It was she, who didn’t want to deploy Pepper Spray because of his asthma. She decided that the “Quick Take Down” was the best option available at the time.

Officer Daniel Pantaleo’s tackle DID NOT result in ANY damage to Mr. garner’s throat, or windpipe. Mr. Garner DID NOT die on the scene from asphyxiation, as a victim of a chokehold would have. He died over an hour later, in hospital, of heart failure.

Sadly, Mr. Garner actively resisted arrest. His morbid obesity, along with a litany of other health issues doomed him that day.

NO American is allowed, by law, to disobey police commands, or confront police over perceived injustices in the street. Disobeying some orders, like, “Keep your hands where I can see them,” will often get a person (rightly) killed.

We ALL WANT even DEMAND that our streets be policed. We also seem to KNOW that Police are paid ONLY to bring suspects before the courts, NOT to hear any evidence of innocence, complaints, etc. in the streets. That is NOT their job and they are neither equipped, nor authorized to deal with adjudications on the street.

We SHOULD ALL KNOW that merely stepping away from an arresting officer, proclaiming, “I didn’t do anything,” constitutes “Resistng Arrest.”

While there’s little doubt that we NEED better, more effective non-lethal weaponry (more effective tasers, more immediate acting tranquilizers, etc.) AND that the onboard computers that enable remote shutoff and locking the doors remotely (available now) should be MANDATED.

One day soon, people will see old flicks like, “Smokey & The Bandit” and shake their head, wondering how anyone could actually run from police. We’ll soon have an environment in which police car chases no longer happen, they’ll just remotely shut down the car and lock the occupants inside. The moment someone fails to cooperate with police, they’ll be incapacitated (rendered unconscious), efficiently packaged and quickly transported to holding.

In the meantime, what I hope we all want are (1) much stiffer penalties that can’t be bargained away in any deals and must run consecutively NOT concurrently with any other sentences and the (2) tethering of government benefits (SSI, Medicaid, Medicare, Food Stamps, etc.) to public conduct. I can envision a high-tech solution that would allow the Officers on-scene to cancel a belligerent’s government benefits. That individual would then have to go to the courts to see when they can get restored.

We must find new ways to command compliance from individuals, often reluctant to comply. Something more advanced than my own decades old low tech solutions.

Right now, a reckless and irresponsible news media, that fails to wait for the facts and assigns as much weight to notoriously unreliable eye-witness testimony as that of trained professional observers, coupled with a well-financed "hate group," BLM have combined to make law enforcement (Cops, Courts, Corrections, etc.) much more difficult, while emboldening career thugs.

How Vester Flanagan (a/k/a Bryce Williams) Became the Next Dylann Roof

Vester Flanagan

Saying that the Charleston Church murders, committed by yet another EDP (emotionally disturbed person), “Sent him over the top,” this morning, ironically enough, Vester Flanagan (a/k/a Bryce Williams) became the latest Dylann Roof. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/11827315/Virginia-shooting-Gunman-Bryce-Williams-told-by-TV-station-to-seek-medical-help-after-colleagues-complaints-live.html)

Vester Flanagan was, by all accounts, a disgruntled "affirmative action baby," a man, whom fellow newser, Larrell Reynolds, who’d worked with him at the small Virginia station (WDBJ Ch 7) said that Flanagan, “had trouble acting and dressing professionally,” and was prone to outbursts of anger. Mr. Reynolds relayed, that Vester Flanagan was a difficult person to get along with, but whenever he clashed with people he blamed it on racism and homophobia, "He'd just be like, it's because I'm black and gay," said Mr Reynolds.

By all accounts, Mr. Flanagan was given far more chances to screw up than most other employees would've been, ironically enough, probably precisely BECAUSE he was "black and gay." His demeanor seems to hearken back to the title of an Ellis Cose book, "The Rage of a Privileged Class." All of that has been exacerbated by America's race/gender preferences and the segregated standards that go along with them.

A recent YouTube video shows what appears to be Vester Flanagan in a road rage incident. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W_eyKgfcWA)

This is the inevitable result of our ongoing celebration of victimization. Entire movements, like the illegitimate BLM (Black Lives Matter, which laments the deaths of thugs like Mike Brown, but not the likes of Jamyla Bolden http://abc7news.com/news/no-arrests-days-after-fatal-shooting-of-girl-9-in-ferguson-missouri/952282/) movement, that are dedicated to enabling those who would look to blame others for their own failures and see themselves as perpetual victims.

How many other Vester Flanagan’s are out there?

How many more Dylann Roof’s or Adam Lanza’s?

What are their triggers? For the autistic Adam Lanza, it seemed to be sinking into a world of extremely violent video games, for Dylann Roof was the way he related to the victimization he saw embraced in various white separatist websites and for Vester Flanagan, it seemed to be the way his own internal obsession with race intersected with the BLM narrative.

Bottom line, each individual is ultimately to blame. We are responsible for how we act toward all the negative messages and stimuli that surrounds us.

Isn’t it hard to “stay positive?”

You bet, but that doesn’t make it OK, or justified not to.

We are far too quick to look for simplistic answers to complex problems when confronted with ugly realities such as these. Like Dylann Roof, Vester Flanagan was almost certainly NOT "in his right mind," BUT neither of them were likely "mentally ill"...more likely, BOTH might be classified as "emotionally disturbed," an umbrella term for people who generally "don't play well with others." Almost certainly neither would reach the bar for "mentally incompetent" to be held accountable for their crimes, as James Holmes' (the Aurora, Colorado killer) trial recently showed.

Whereas mental illness is an organic disease, or set of diseases that has a given onset and specific symptoms, emotional disturbance is generally a CHOICE. Yes, we each CHOOSE how we will interpret the world around us and react to it.

Were both Dylann Roof and Vester Flanagan encouraged and enabled by various nefarious movements and websites? Probably yes, but neither probably needed such stimuli, as their internal compasses were so screwed up.

Tragically for Vester Flanagan, his kind of bigotry has been winked at and given a pass for decades now. The media and academia have gleefully fed into that. They have lionized a pro-criminal, anti-police movement like "Black Lives matter" and only NOW, belatedly do they scorn Vester Flanagan as a "hate filled bigot."

IF those in the media had taken a more honest approach to racial and social issues earlier MAYBE Vester Flanagan might have been forced to look inward at correcting his own flaws...or maybe he'd have just gone and done what Dylann Roof did, and found some obscure websites in which to indulge the self-victimization they were intent on validating.

In the wake of such tragedies some of the more simplistic among us reflexively blame “the availability of guns.” That’s NOT the reason...nor even “A reason” for why such things happen, neither is mental or emotional illness.

ALL of the above, except for Adam Lanza functioned reasonably capably in society, held jobs, interacted with others, regardless of how dysfunctionally, and planned out their murders.

The BLM movement is no more “responsible” for how Vester Flanagan reacted to it, any more than were any white separatist sites “responsible” for the way Dylann Roof interpreted their messages. Such groups have a right to freedom of speech. Of course, as much as we may have a right to “spew hatred,” under the 1st Amendment, we have no right to act on such hatred...and therein lies the conundrum. When reckless and irresponsible, often emotionally disturbed people latch onto such narratives and interpret them in their own twisted ways, bad things happen.

Gun bans clearly don’t work. The Philippines has a total gun ban and is besieged with “backyard gun shops.” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fna9WEO6BjE) Guns are incredibly easy to make and it’s not hard to imagine that American home gunsmiths would fashion even higher quality weaponry...for a price.

We CAN and SHOULD enforce the very real gun laws we have on the books already, like stipulating that a person’s mental health records and felony arrest records are rendered accessible once that person files for a permit for a hand gun.

THAT and we SHOULD make the much needed reforms to our currently dysfunctional mental health system, but that would take money, money so many of us are loathe to consider spending on something we tend to see as “somebody else’s problem.”

BUT, like welfare’s having had the very worst and most pernicious impact on the black family (helping fuel fatherless families, a deluge of very young, single mothers mired in poverty and dependency and millions coming to see the government as “responsible for taking care of their life necessities”), the current movement that enshrines victimization as some sort of virtue has hurt that community most of all.

I think back to the way at least one black news reporter eulogized the late Reverend Ike, after Rev. Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II’s death back in 2009, as having led “a wretched, venal life.” (http://www.post-gazette.com/…/The-wret…/stories/200908040223)

While Reverend Ike was at least part huckster, but he also embodied the message that prosperity isn’t a bad thing (that “the lack of money was the root of all evil”...often that truly is) and the gospel espoused by the likes of Norman Vincent Peale and so many others who espouse “positive thinking,” success-visualization, etc.

NONE of those things are guaranteed to make anyone rich, but attitude, is, all too often, EVERYTHING! Without a positive, upbeat attitude, a person is generally doomed to a life of unhappiness. When we add in a tendency to consistently look outward, blaming others for our own inner flaws, we doom ourselves to lives of perpetual misery.

THAT, more than anything else, is what the dysfunctional life and miserable death of Vester Flanagan (a/k/a Bryce Williams) most embodied. And that is a very sad testament to the BLM movement and the other racial grievance and "social justice warriors"

A Portrait of Our Dysfunction

Dylann Roof

A portrait of Dylann Roof is emerging of a marose loner, with few friends, who'd dropped out of H.S. in the 9th grade, couldn't hold a job and descended into a cocoon of bitter hatred that some use to make themselves feel better about poorly lived, or even non-lived lives. (http://www.latimes.com/…/la-na-charleston-shooter-profile-2…)

A few commenters have noted that this is precisely the path that many young schizophrenics follow as they move through their teens, while most of the national media engages in its bizarre, yet habitual exhibitionism, it's perverse compulsion with an auto-eroticism over a 19th Century racial model - black victims and white oppressors. An exhibitionism made even more perverse by the fact that it is promulgated by overwhelmingly Left-of-Center WHITE newsrooms and corporate boards.

There are thousands of dysfunctional people like Dylann Roof from ALL backgrounds in our country today. BUT once they've "detonated," it's already far too late for anything other than a belated and always unfulfilling punishment.

Those who know such people always seem to respond with shocked surprise that this "creepy," "kind of weird guy" finally "went off."

Mental health and law enforcement professionals note that "There's nothing we can do to intervene before such a person either commits a crime, OR "acts out" (often, one in the same).

We've seen this kind of thing numerous times in big cities, often on a much smaller scale, those, almost always mentally ill people pushing others in front of oncoming trains and other mentally defective people who occasionally wreak havoc on the streets.

Jim Boulware (the father of Dallas Police HQ attacker, James Boulware) recently asked, “Where can a white man go for help?” That only shows how ubiquitous the victimization game really is. EVERYONE in America wants to be "the victim" now-a-days.

FACT is, there is no such help for ANYONE in America today. We are loathe to intervene, because we see it as "interfering," with a person's right to freedom of choice. The chronically poor/unproductive and dysfunctional can't deal effectively with freedom of choice, if they could, they wouldn't be dysfunctional.

Deinstitutionalization was both an overreaction and a mistake to the overcrowding and poor conditions well documented in America's mental institutions in the 1970s.

Some people NEED some assistance, intervention/interference BEFORE they spin out of control. The problem isn't one of "eccentricity," or "weirdness," as such things are wholly subjective, BUT of DYSFUNCTION.

Those who cannot (will not) finish school, who cannot (will not) hold a job and who erratically relate to others, if at all, are DYSFUNCTIONAL, not just "eccentric," or "strange."

Dysfunctional people may be harmless for extended periods of time and may not be violent until, or unless a fuse is lit by some fixation on a perverse ideology; white or black supremacy, political Islam, racial or religious hatreds, etc. The problem is that dysfunctional people are often drawn to such movements and the more extreme, the greater the apparent attraction.

The idea that, "There's nothing we can do UNTIL such a person snaps," is absolutely absurd. There have to be strategies in place designed to assist (if possible) dysfunctional people BEFORE they are otherwise "assisted" by some extremist ideology.

For one thing, dysfunctional people harm society merely by their dysfunction. Work/productivity is the price (rent) we all owe for living. Many of these people might be able to contribute to society if they had the proper guidance and direction, others probably need various degrees of institutionalization and we shouldn't wait until the only option for that is prison.

We've done a very poor job of setting up any kind of quid pro quo for those who are chronically dependent, let alone the chronically dysfunctional. Our programs SHOULD be designed to help such people get off such programs and back into work and productive lives, and assisting the dysfunctional to become productive, but instead most of our "social welfare programs" are dependency programs that only inculcate further dependency. There's little incentive to get such people back onto productive tracks.

Until we begin taking serious preemptive measures to assist those who've gone off the rails early in life, we're going to continue to see these kinds of sporadic, albeit horrific mass killings.

Freedom ISN'T allowing the poor and dysfunctional to "live as they please," that is "license." In every case LICENSE is the enemy of LIBERTY. The individualism this country was founded on only provides "as much FREEDOM as one's productive efforts can afford."

Those who "don't see it that way," also don't tend to see work/productivity as a basic human mandate. In fact, too many see work as "wage slavery." That's a problem, because it makes that much needed quid pro quo, all that more difficult to enact.

More's the pity.

Media Inspired Mass Murder?

Dylann Roof





Last night (Wednesday, June 17th, 2015), around 9:05 PM, a lone gunman (Dylann Storm Roof) walked into the Emanuel AME Church in North Charleston, SC and shot 10 people directly after a Bible study session, reportedly leaving one woman as a "witness." So far, 9 of the people shot have died from their wounds (http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/06/18/ame-church-shooting-police-have-identified-a-specific-suspect-surveillance-video-and-cctv-captures/).

While ultimately, the primary responsibility for any crime belongs the perpetrator alone, it's hard not to see the inspiration for this kind of violence in media outlets like the utterly race-obsessed CNN and MSNBC.

Yesterday, CNN's Alisyn Camerota discussed Rachel Dolezal's "trans-racialism" with the professional racial raconteur, Charles Blow, along with one of the most odious racial bigots of our time, Tim Wise (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4pIBN2m70U)!

Sadly, this is standard fare for networks that truck in a false racial violence narrative.

America's national media vigorously defended Trayvon Martin, who'd clearly attacked the wrong guy (a troubled, Hispanic "wannabe cop" and local "Neighborhood Watch Captain"), as though, somehow, in some parralel universe, an individual has the "right" to physically assault someone they perceive to be following them.

Then they even more vigorously defended Michael Brown, about whom it was later proven that he attacked a police officer, was shot in the hand (inside that officer's squad car, while struggling over that cop's gun), then shot again as he charged that Officer (Darren Wilson).

That same national media then gives a forum to overt racial (anti-white) bigots like Tim Wise.

There is a constant drumbeat for a dangerously false narrative, to wit, that the bulk of the inter-racial violence extant today is white-on-black, when in FACT, it is exactly the reverse!

Recently, the Washington Post intoned, "America’s swimming pools have a long, sad, racist history. They’ve long been contested spaces where we express prejudices that otherwise remain unspoken.” (http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/06/black_mob_violence_in_swimming_pools_a_long_history.html), the history of swimming pool violence is very, VERY different!

WHY does it take a reported like Colin Flaherty to chronicle the accurate history of inter-racial violence, when the pundits at ALL these major media outlets already KNOW that history?! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uZF-hCUE1M).

The painful truth is that white-on-black violence is exceedingly rare, while the reverse, just as is black-on-Asian and black-on-Hispanic, is not very rare at all. Since 1976, African-Americans (12% of the U.S. population) have been responsible for over 50% of all homicides in the nation. Today, homicide is the leading cause of death for black males between the ages of 16 and 36. That is NOT the case for any other group.

While the ultimate responsibility for these 9 murders (6 women and 3 men) rests with the killer, Dylann Roof, it's more than disingenuous for national media outlets to express anything like consternation over such events that their own warped racial narrative has helped inspire.

WHY???

Dylann Roof

WHY?

That's the question I always have when the likes of Dylann Roof, Jared Loughner and James Holmes are taken in alive.

WHY?

It always seems these lowlife mutts surrender meekly to police after their rampages.

Now, I can understand that the police may not be 100% certain they have the right guy, BUT since these guys are so intent on killing, they should have the guts to fire upon those who can and will fire back.

But they never seem to do that.

Maddeningly, there always inevitably follows thousands of pages of psychoanalysis as to why some scumbag...acted like a scumbag. A complete and utter waste of time.

Worse yet, are those who'd blame an inanimate object, like a gun, for the actions of a psychopath.

Someone who shoots in self defense deserves a medal! The store owner or homeowner who kills an intruder is a hero, just as much as the lowlife who shoots & kills in the commission of a crime, is a scumbag. How hard is that to understand?

Guns are NOT the problem, dysfunctional people are. My understanding ias that Dylann Roof was already a felon (drug possession and other crimes) BEFORE this attack. Not only should he have been barred from purchasing a firearm, anyone who gifted him one, or otherwise helped him get one, committed a serious crime in doing that.

Who cares what demons infected Dylann Roof? Who cares WHY he killed all those people?

The focus SHOULD be on punishing Roof, NOT "figuring him out."

And jail isn't an appropriate punishment. In a more sensible society, Dylann Roof would face death by however many bullets he fired into those people that night.

But he has no fear of that happening here. No, here he'll get "treatment" & protective custody...and probably cake and ice cream and free cable TV.

It's a real shame, in every way, that he was taken in alive.
