‘It is a thing of pride and recognition … [G]irls who are mutilated have become women.‘

Or, you know, babies who are mutilated have become corpses.

The Holocaust was somewhere in her have mercy keep me outta jail letter too; plus, even though she did effing EVERYTHING she could think of not to get caught, it turns out she’s full of shame despair and general poignancy when she reflecteth upon her Madoffian crimelife.

Give it a read – Ms Javice basically gets as close as you can get to saying YOU CAN’T JAIL ME I’M A WOMAN!!! — a remarkable sentiment for a person who – until JP Morgan figured out she robbed them of $175 million – was an icon of the tough as nails young financial genius. My grannies are dying! I wanna baby!

‘While permitless carrying may have some effect on deterring offences like robberies, it is inadequate in the face of grievance and politically driven violence, said Brandon del Pozo, an assistant professor of medicine and health policy at Brown University.

“The deterrence effect of concealed carry only applies to rational actors. And you get to a point in political extremism where you’re not dealing with rational people,” he said...

[C]ities and states where many residents are armed in public can fail to account for the large presence of concealed guns and to plan to provide an accompanying level of screening.

“In places like Utah where there’s going to be a lot of guns in circulation, you have to decide when you’re going to carve out spaces where people are screened for guns,” [del Pozo] added.

“And if you’re a small police department, it’s hard to secure something outdoors. But if you’re coming to a provocative political rally, you need to be screened.”’

So notes The Guardian, which then quotes Hasan Piker:

“A bulletproof vest would not have saved Charlie Kirk. Security did not save Charlie Kirk. The only thing that could have potentially saved Charlie Kirk from getting shot in the neck was reasonable gun control.”

Then it quotes Josh Sugarmann:

Josh Sugarmann, executive of the Violence Policy Center which has tracked the proliferation of the sniper subculture, sees its growth as part of the increasing militarization of the gun industry and its civilian offerings. “No one notices or seems to care that there is an industry actively designing and building the weapons that enable shooters to more effectively commit assassinations and mass shootings,” he said.

“The gun industry is designing, building and promoting rifles that are effective at much longer range with the goal of ‘one shot, one kill’.”

Open carry laws make it particularly hard to secure public events because the visible presence of firearms creates a dangerous ambiguity. Law enforcement can’t easily distinguish between a person legally carrying a weapon and someone preparing to commit violence. This ambiguity slows down response times, heightens the risk of mistakes and can turn routine security situations into potential crises. It unequivocally makes it harder for law enforcement to do their jobs, and it puts them at greater risk of harm.

… [V]isible guns at gatherings can intimidate participants, escalate tensions and even deter people from attending altogether, undermining the safety and openness of community spaces — especially when open carry can be, and has been, used by extremist groups as a tool to intimidate others at protests or public gatherings.

[Utah] students as young as 18 can openly carry guns on college campuses … and the state also allows concealed weapons on Utah’s campuses.

[M]ost Americans — including conservatives and gun owners — actually feel less safe when more people are carrying guns in public. [The gun] industry has a singular solution for this fear: Just buy a gun.

 ‘[A]sk yourself what somebody was doing carrying a large hunter’s rifle around a university campus.

… Did Utah’s weak gun laws kill Charlie Kirk? We can’t say that. But weak gun laws probably made his death more likely. Kirk’s admirers will do his legacy no favors if they continue to oppose gun control. Better that they join the rest of us in working to prevent the next Charlie Kirk from meeting the same awful fate.’

Let this comment, from the incoming president of the Oxford Union (!), stand for all the vile statements many people are making about Kirk’s assassination. The Oxford Union used to be a pretty classy outfit; why they’re handing it over to someone dissolute enough to publish something like this is a mystery.

The loopiest litigatrix this side of Liguria just walked into a buzz saw: Harvard is suing her.

Tyler Robinson, resident of Utah (death penalty? yes), seems to be the dude. “A family member saw the photos of the suspect and turned him into police,” says here. 22 years old.

Apparently his father (a pastor? not all of this information is confirmed) turned him in. He seems to have won a big fancy scholarship to Utah State University a few years ago.

I guess when you put it like that, twenty years in prison doesn’t seem overlong.

“I have a good surgeon if you ever want to get your nose done.“

… would I guess be a good poetic form of address to UD’s beloved country at the moment (the phrase titles a 1925 poem by Robinson Jeffers). The Murder of Kirk becomes a singular, symbolizing, culmination, an event that rises above the murk of our bloody country’s bloody every day. Give me back my son; he was only thirty-one wails Kirk’s father at his memorial site, a one-man tragic chorus that cuts through all of it.

Our streets are pocked with juvenile assassins, skinny boys with fat rifles, schizophrenics with steady fingers. Our bottomless gun-greed means we won’t be saving ourselves anytime soon – not under a president who won election based on his own bullet wound. Thus America makes choosing our leaders easy: Not the ones with the fatal neck wounds; the ones with the non-lethal neck wounds.

*******************

No parades, don’t you see; no sunny tented gatherings of the sort that killed Kirk. We Americans must crawl over blood and glass into bunkers while keeping an eye on the roofs and windows from which the Kirk killer and Stephen Paddock and the rest of them aim at us. We must eye one another as potential shooters.

Democracy cannot really survive the absolute death of the public realm, a realm as imperiled by our insane willingness to let incredibly dangerous people roam the streets as it is by our gun-greed. Americans continue to recite the NRA’s mentally retarded litany – “The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.” – even though Utah Valley University is an open carry campus, meaning plenty of people in Kirk’s audience were armed. Lots of good guys with guns. But hey turns out they can’t do anything about a sharpshooter on a roof! Huh!
