The state has “the single worst rate of gun deaths in the country,” and when you look at Leland High School’s homecoming gathering on Friday you can see how it got there. Most mass shootings manage to kill five or six; but the little folk of Leland and environs (the shooters probably range in age from 14-18) have already killed eight and injured at least twenty. They are definitely setting the mass shooting standard for the nation, and because they’re so young and because Mississippi basically has no gun laws they have decades of slaughter ahead of them.

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

 “No triggers, no warnings that something like this would take place,” says a local official, and what a hoot. No triggers or warnings except for the fact that everyone over 12 in your state shoots off guns and you’re fucking notorious for the bloodshed all over Mississippi. Other than that, nothing to indicate a problem.

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

Wow! There’s more!

Two separate shootings were reported Saturday, Oct 11, related to Mississippi campuses, one at Jackson State University and another at Alcorn State University.

The two shootings follow three separate Friday night shooting incidents related to high school football events in the state.

 ‘Mississippi’s gun death rate in 2024 was 116% higher than the national average.‘

This weekend, they’ve been showing you how they do it. And they still have Sunday!

A very confused Canadian person tells us that she – quite rightly – opposes the grotesquerie of swaddling very little girls in the hijab. But this is only a kind of whispered aside; she is actually indignant throughout the piece that Quebec’s secular government has issued a complaint about an image, in a children’s book, of a very little girl swaddled in a hijab. She sees this complaint as bullying.

No, babe. Bullying is parents forcing body draping on a helpless child.

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

She says there’s no knowing how many in Quebec approve of this form of secularism. Oh but there is: Oodles of opinion polls show strong support for banning hijabs in the public realm. That’s what the current national controversy over Bill 21 is about.

Reasonable people can debate whether adults in public sector jobs should drape their heads and bodies; only religious bullies would consider the blanketing of female babies and toddlers defensible.

I mean, even the opinion writer feels the need to disclose that she in fact opposes the thing she’s defending. I wonder why she opposes it. Her argument would have made more sense if she’d spilled a bit of ink on the matter.

‘Their collaboration has continued with [Ian] Roberts behind bars. [Roberts’ collaborator] said on Sep. 29 she was told by Roberts’ wife to move forward with publishing a book called “Unshakeable,” a compilation of Roberts’ inspirational messages to Des Moines schools.‘

Iowa’s finest, Ian Roberts, committed more than the so far – what? – five thousand? crimes he committed as Des Moines public schools superintendent. He also awarded Des Moines school district contracts to his own side business, which specialized in soaking DEI budgets.

The district did catch one of his early attempts to pocket money in this way; but apparently they failed to catch later, successful, ones.

How stupid is Iowa? MUCH stupider than I ever imagined.

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

There’s a DEI sickness at the heart of Iowa’s public schools. It’s why they hired and retained a consummate con man.

Franchement, they got what they deserved. New leadership needed. Desperately.

From start to finish, “After the Hunt” sets its audience adrift on a sea of unmoored signifiers, flailing to keep up with all the arm-wavey gestures at “academia” and “bourgeois morality” and “ethics,” providing nothing beneath to hold it all together and indicate it knows what any of it means.

Laszlo Krasznahorkai wins the literature Nobel.

[T]he Academy praised the author’s unique writing style, such as his long sentences and unbroken paragraphs that stretch for pages, which have led critics to compare him to Franz Kafka and Herman Melville.

Example.

I’m also reminded of Kleist, who got there before these other guys.

LOLOLOL.

You too might find some of this amusing.

Yale has thrown her out.

Sara Kelany, an Italian MP, gets it said. And indeed Italy seems very close to banning the total-blackout burqa and niqab. In this they are joining many other countries who have decided it is uncivil and uncivilized.

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

[MP Andrea] Delmastro said Italy had drawn inspiration from France, the first European country to introduce a full burqa ban in 2011. Since then, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland and several other countries in Europe and around the world have imposed full or partial bans.

Tensions over public shoreline access erupted into felony charges for a Narragansett resident of the town’s pricy Anawan Cliffs neighborhood, who is accused of allegedly menacing fishermen with a drone, hitting golf balls in their direction, taking their sweatshirts and then flashing a loaded firearm.

[The man] faces felony charges for assault and possession of a large-capacity magazine.

Fight Over NASCAR Shirt Turns to Gun Threat Inside Family Dollar

[A Florida boater,] frustrated by the wake [some] children were creating in the water near his vessel … [pointed a gun at them and said he would] “shoot them and watch them bleed out.”

Turns out to be very simple: You can repeatedly imprison/kill a large percentage of your female population until the only women you see on the streets are swathed head to toe in black, or you can decide that forcing an entire country to share your religious fanaticism is a bad idea.

Doofuses.

One can’t help seeing the mordant grins on the faces of America’s fast-growing gun suicides as these people glance, on their way out, at one lucrative, self-congratulatory, and predictably failed effort to reduce gun suicides.

In 2016, The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention teamed up with the National Shooting Sports Foundation to reduce suicide by 20% by 2025. (“Firearms were the leading cause of suicide among males and females in 2022. The rate of firearm-related suicide among males increased 31% after reaching a low of 10.3 deaths per 100,000 in 2006 to 13.5 per 100,000 in 2022.” By 2024, we see a “staggering” suicide rise.)

This article provides the gory details, but the main thing you need to know is that there is rather… uh… a glaring gap between the interests of anti-suicide crusaders and gun sellers.

The now-ended project did succeed in generating money for the two groups; and of course it enabled their leaders to use phrases like scaled implementation.

A guy who barely survived the Montgomery AL shootout says “he came downtown because there were so many people out and he wanted to join the fun, but that night of fun turned into something he described as a ‘warzone’ that he’s thankful to have survived.”

And he does pose the question. About guns. The killers were fifteen, sixteen, years old, and it was so easy for the brainless shits to get guns.

‘More people died by gunfire in Alabama [in 2023] than in New York State, which has nearly four times Alabama’s population.’

It’s that ol self-killer instinct, folks. Wyoming has it too. Guns guns guns guns until everyone gets ten! AK47s, AR15s, give em out like candy until everyone kills everyone in a blitz and then the cops kill the killers.

But WHY, Wyoming? A la what Alabam?

Read Nietzsche! says WY. Look under N for Nihilism! says AL. Life’s worth shit down here says AL. Life sucks in the Sagebrush State says WY. Read Better Never To Have Been and then shut the fuck up or I’ll blow your head off.
