So what the heck, you’re welcome
Glad to have you with us
Even though you’re the biggest criminal in state history
You really ought to lead Iowa’s public schools!
Diurnal reassurance, at once placid and thundering.
From our second floor balcony, 7:25 AM, Rehoboth Beach, DE.
A huge open shoot-out in the center of the city wreaks death and life-threatening injury, but the police chief is here to tell you that the city is safe. He’s fucking crazy, as the state AG makes clear in his comment:
You can’t do much when your state has virtually no control over its millions of guns, many of them, like the ones last night, in the hands of fifteen year olds. Almost all of the shooters were 14-16. So you might as well do what Bama’s doing. Nothing. I mean, I assume the city has a crew that hoses down the rivers of blood. I assume they’re doing that.
… but close.
Visiting Harvard Law prof was firing a pellet gun at rats, not the Brookline temple he was standing outside [of] at the start of Yom Kippur, police say
******************
Wow. Details at once disturbing and hilarious.
******************
He shot at and shattered a car window!
So… to get serious for a moment. There are a number of sad possible explanations.
- Friday night. He was very very drunk/high. He’s lonely, missing Brazil, missing girlfriend who stabilizes him, whatever.
- Psychotic break. Shooting at car windows at night because you think there are rats outside your house is a very psychotic breaky thing to do.
- Of course it’s possible it had something to do with hating Jews.

OTOH: A rifle-packing Harvard prof could go far toward bridging the cultural gap between the Trump administration and that school.
Every day their beloved superintendent turns out to be guilty of yet another category of crime. Today: Drug trafficking! Stay tuned!
He was arrested by ICE with the help of the Iowa State Patrol on Sept. 26. ICE said Roberts attempted to flee arrest and was found hiding in the brush. The vehicle he was driving was found with $3,000 in cash, a fixed blade knife and a loaded Glock 9mm pistol, which led to additional criminal charges of being an illegal alien in possession of firearms.
A real gift to Trump. All tied up with a ribbon.
Iowa will never live it down. They actually paid money to a firm to vet the guy!
Gun death at a hookah lounge in one of the most dangerous cities in insanely dangerous Louisiana. Who could have predicted this tragic turn? Especially on a weekend night?
But how much, really, is too much? This Texas high school begins to look like an armed camp, with many guns carried in every day. Parents are upset, demand action, blah blah. But it’s Texas. You wanna live where everybody, starting around age fourteen, doesn’t carry a loaded gun everywhere, move to Massachusetts.
And bravo University of Washington students for en masse chasing out the local Nazi who pushed his way into their lecture hall and did a bunch of fascist shouts. The students surrounded him until the police showed up.

You know. Where the children chase down the witch.
Yeah why should Wyoming’s governor bother mentioning the primary reason his state has the highest rate of elderly suicides in the country? Virtually all of the guys use a gun.
Cuz walk five feet in any direction in Wyoming and you’ll trip over a gun. The state has more guns than almost anyplace else in the world, ‘cept maybe Mogadishu.
And that’s why it’s got world-class suicide rates. But you wouldn’t want to be impolite enough to say the word or anything.
Your namesake law school is a national embarrassment.
… here.
Triumphal sadism as a way of life. Hard to know how you do anything about that.
Killing babies and lethally imperiling the rest of the population: The ultraorthodox way.
Responsible ultraorthodox are vaccinating. These people are however unable to stop the insane among their lot from letting children fall ill.
Wouldn’t want to leave Yale out of the Epstein saga. The Yale Daily News weighs in.
The good folks of Des Moines saw no reason not to hire Ian Roberts as their school superintendent, even though they did no due diligence on his, er, spotty background. Weapons arrests, in the country illegally, lied bigtime about his university degrees.
The lying thing is de rigueur among many school principals (you get a salary bump with a doctorate, and schools don’t seem to mind if, like Roberts, you buy it from an online vendor), but the rest of it makes for an unusually rich brew.
