NY Penal Code 512.34.C; “When Da Bithch Steps Up, I’m Smackin’ Da Ho!”

...And RIGHTLY so!

Chivalry ain't exactly dead, but like organized religion, its influence is definitely ebbing.

This week, 25 y/o Jorge Pena, a 6’6” bouncer was cleared of all charges for slapping a woman who struck him with the heel of her stiletto shoe…and in my view, RIGHTLY SO!

THIS is what real “gender equality” looks like; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5c5v7kG-oQ

After sorting out the combatants, Pena was cleared of all charges, as they were judged “self defense, while his attacker, the inebriated Danay Howard was ultimately charged with assault; (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/13/jorge-pena-subway-fight_n_6151918.html?utm_hp_ref=black-voices&ir=Black+Voices and http://nypost.com/2014/11/13/man-whose-epic-slap-went-viral-ive-never-slapped-anyone-before/).

This isn’t the first time a male has been cleared by way of self-defense, against a female attacker. Perhaps one of the more famous and hilarious cases was “The McBeatdown” that occurred in a Greenwich Village McDonalds back in 2011; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-abstGkJ-E. Look at the sick, twisted reaction of the howling blonde woman! She didn’t have a problem with the two skanks jumping the counter to attack the McDonald’s worker “like a man,” she just had a BIG  problem with them getting their asses beat. Somebody should’ve stuck a fist in her mouth and shut her up.

Personally, I think NYC’s penal code is absolutely correct in treating a female attacker “like a man.” House a Pain was right when they belted out one of my favorite songs  from back in the day; “I’ll serve it out like John McEnroe, If your girl steps up, I’m smacking the ho.” True poets with a real modern-day message.

Better learn to duck home girl, or you’re gonna get served...at least in NYC ya will!

“So Goes Obama, So Goes MSNBC?” Not Exactly…

Upside down Sharpton...so WHAT'S NEW?

Quietly, even stealthily, MSNBC’s ratings have nose-dived from there already low perch. Some in the media have even suggested that they are in “free fall.”

The Washington Post’s Eric Wemple recently suggested the “So goes Obama, so goes MSNBC”theory, but that doesn’t hold water. Even when President was riding high, with an approval rating of 53% after his win over Romney in 2012, MSNBC was mired in 3^rd place among cable newsers, behind FNC & CNN.

The median age of the MSNBC viewer has also ticked upward. Five years ago it was 58; now it is 61. Yes, the hippies are getting older. In the first quarter of 2009, MSNBC averaged 392,000 viewers in the 25-54 demographic for its weeknight lineup. In the third quarter of this year, the number was down to 125,000. FNC leads in this vital demographic, despite having the oldest average listening audience of the three...such is the size of FNC’s lead over its competitors.

Even under its previous management (Jeff Imelt’s GE), MSNBC was the “hate-America’s” network of choice, the place for those who firmly believe that the USA is the source of all the evils of the world...the problem is that there just aren’t all that many of them, certainly not enough to make a huge audience of!

Worse still, there “journalistic” standards, never very high to begin with (think Keith Olbermann and Ed Schultz), set new lows when they took on Melissa Harris-Perry (famous for wearing tampon earrings on her show) and Al Sharpton...the black equivalent of David Duke....WAIT! Apologies may have to be made to David Duke. After all, Mr. Duke never pushed criminal charges he knew to be false against law enforcement officials, the way Sharpton did in the Tawana Brawley hoax and David Duke has never been associated with a mass murder the way Al Sharpton forever is with the “Freddie’s Fashion Mart Massacre” in Harlem! Perhaps Tom Metzger (leader of the Aryan Nation) would be a more apt comparison.

Sharpton has sought to compensate for his complete lack of journalistic skills by taking to, in effect, covering his own causes and rallies as “news” stories.

No, Obama’s poor approval ratings are NOT what ails MSNBC, some spectacularly poor choices, like Harris-Perry and Sharpton very much ARE!

Now They FINALLY Figure THIS Out?!

Bruce Bartlett

In late October, Bruce Bartlett failed to ruffle many feathers with his article, Obama is a Republican, something I’ve said (I believe) even more eloquently, right here, claiming that “Barack Obama has delivered G W Bush’s 3^rd and 4^th terms!"

Indeed Barack Obama continued ALL of his predecessor’s wars and prosecuted the “War on Terror” with vigor. Our troops left Iraq only because IRAQ refused to indemnify our soldiers against “acts of war,” threatening to prosecute American soldiers as street thugs. This past week, President Obama has pledged 1500 troops BACK into Iraq and wouldn’t say if that was enough.

The Obama administration prosecuted another war, not even on G W Bush’s radar (Libya), in fact LEADING from behind (using NATO allies to soften the blow to war weary America).

GITMO remains open to this day...some five years beyond the date Mr. Obama promised to close it.

President Obama has gone to court at least THREE times to defend and keep secret the NSA Surveillance Programs…programs he, himself campaigned AGAINST.

I laid out Bartlett’s entire thesis (wonder if he reads Alexandria) for him, including Obama’s cloning “Romneycare,” as the foundation of his national program.

But Bartlett, like myself, is far from the first to note Barack Obama’s “Bushiness,” some liberals/“progressives” had taken note even earlier, as Bartlett himself quotes Cornell West; “I think Cornel West nailed it when he recently charged that Obama has never been a real progressive in the first place. “He posed as a progressive and turned out to be counterfeit,” West said. “We ended up with a Wall Street presidency, a drone presidency, a national security presidency.”

And thank god for it! Wall Street remains the engine of America and its profits sustain not only our mammoth government spending, BUT the retirements of millions of American citizens.

THIS is WHY Women Cannot be Taken Seriously in the Military, Police & Fire Departments

Shoshana Roberts walking down street

The latest YouTube sensation is brought to us by actress Shoshana B. Roberts, along with Hollaback, a group seeking to end what it calls “street sexual harassment. The 1:57 minute video already has over 19,600,000 hits in just two days (as of October 30^th, 2014)! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1XGPvbWn0A)

The video recap is a little under two minutes long, apparently showing the most egregious examples of that ten hour ordeal.

If this was “the worst of it,” it’s pretty mild stuff. At least one male says, “God bless you, have a nice day,” a few others simply remark, “You’re beautiful” (OK, that’s pretty subjective...Shoshana doesn’t do much for me...but nice), a scant few are downright creepy, which isn’t all that surprising considering that much of the locale she walks through seems pretty seedy.

The problem with messages like this is that they exude an “It’s all about me,” kind of narcissism, but much worse, make it appear that women NEED men to pass laws against other men who’d dare to speak to them without being spoken to. Shoshana and her cohorts at Hollaback seem to see universal kindnesses, like someone saying, “God bless you, have a nice day,” as an affront to her dignity.

It’s not much unlike the attitude that Dr. Spenser (NYC’s “Ebola Doctor”) and “quarantined nursed Kaci Hickox, who earlier today defied Maine’s mandatory 21 day quarantine-at-home order. Ms. Hickox, a nurse who treated Ebola patients, had previously threatened to sue New Jersey over being quarantined before she was discharged, today threatened to sue Maine if officials there do not lift a 21-day quarantine restriction.

“I will go to court to attain my freedom,” Hickox told reporters today via Skype from her hometown of Fort Kent, Maine. “I have been completely asymptomatic since I’ve been here. I feel absolutely great.”

Maine’s health commissioner said Tuesday night the state will “pursue legal authority if necessary”to keep her quarantined.

In Kaci Hickox’s view the first priority in all this seems to be her own convenience. Apparently any program that inconveniences her is a major problem.

She claims a temperature gauge that recorded a high temperature in New Jersey to be “inaccurate,” without being able to provide any proof of that. Absent that proof, it can’t be reliably said that she’s asymptomatic, but that doesn’t seem to matter to Kaci Hickox, any more than Shoshana Roberts’ lumping in kindneses like, “God bless you, have a nice day,” with crude come-ons as “offenses,” matters to her.

Shoshana Roberts may have sought to make a video highlighting “what women go through on the streets every day,” but she really made a very strong case AGAINST women being taken seriously in the Military and in Police and Fire Departments in particular, for if women need men to rescue them from a couple of howling cads, they can’t possibly be expected to fight foreign and domestic enemies, enforce the laws and suppress fires...all of which are far more daunting tasks than walking down a city street.

There Seems to be Very Little Justice in Florida’s “Criminal Justice” Statutes

Marissa Alexander



Lee Wollard (End Left)

Florida continues to give the country and TMZ some of the juiciest crime stories, from Casey Anthony, to Trayvon Martin to Lee Wollard and Marissa Alexander.

Those last two might be a little less well-known, but they shouldn’t be, as the injustices heaped upon them may be Florida’s biggest legal disgrace.

After all any Police Force and any D.A.’s Office could screw up a mother murdering a child. We’re conditioned to look for “reasons”/excuses in such cases, rather than hammer the accused.

And in the Trayvon Martin case, there seems absolutely no doubt that Trayvon Martin assaulted George Zimmerman. NO, perceiving that you’re “being followed” is NOT grounds for self-defense (assault) and yes, private citizens DO have a legal right to follow or watch people exhibiting odd behavior in their neighborhoods.

BUT in the case of Marissa Alexander and Lee Wollard, two people who fired warning shots instead of shooting, in Alexander’s case an abusive husband and in Wollard’s case a homeless teen the family had taken in who was fighting with his teen daughter.

In Alexander’s case, she remains free on bond awaiting a retrial on aggravated assault charges after she fired a warning shot to compel her abusive husband to leave the residence.

In Wollard’s case he has just been convicted and given a mandatory 20-year sentence for aggravated assault for firing a warning shot into a wall to compel a homeless teen the family had taken in to leave the domicile after physically fighting with Wollard’s own teenaged daughter.

Lee Wollard’s nightmare began when the biologist, who used to work at Sea World was taking a nap at his home, but was awakened by his 16-year-old daughter Sarah and her boyfriend fighting.
He and his wife Debbie had taken the 17-year-old in because he was homeless, but the relationship had begun to deteriorate.

When Wollard heard a loud thud, which turned out to be his daughter thrown against a wall, he loaded his .357 and went into the room, firing into the wall to scare the boy off.

“We had tried calling the cops. We had tried doing everything. Nothing worked. Nothing,” Wollard related to the local News.
After the teenager left their property, they thought their dilemma was over, but that turned out to be far from the case, as Lee Wollard was charged with, convicted, then sentenced to 20 years in Florida state prison by Judge Donald Jacobson.

An aggravated assault involving a firearm in Florida comes with a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years. Wollard was offered a plea offer of probation and no jail time but he declined, convinced he was innocent. Wollard related, “It never dawned on me that I would lose, because I hadn’t done anything wrong. I’d protected my family, and I didn’t even hurt anybody. Everything is gone.”

The judge told him that he would not have given him such a lengthy sentence if he hadn’t been obligated to do so.

Earlier this year, federal sentencing guidelines were amended to reduce prison time. And in Florida, the legislature passed a law that exempts firing warning shots from the current harsh penalties.

But that comes too late for Wollard.

“Everything, everything is gone,” he said.

Wollard has asked the Florida Governor for clemency – which, incidentally, his daughter’s former boyfriend supports. If he doesn’t get it, Lee Wollard will leave prison in July 2028, when he is 73 years old.

The SAME fate may await Ms. Alexander, of her appeal doesn’t work out, although in her case a national network of Civil Rights and Women’s groups are working on her behalf, so the injustice in her case has a better than even chance of being overturned.
