Modern fathers, the ones still left in their daughters’ lives, have a Manosphere-documented tendency to blame everybody and everything except their feral daughters for her poor behavior. An extreme example occurs in Pennsylvania. Can physiognomy tell us if his victim deserved to die?

htt ps://heavy.com/news/2019/07/michael-dbiagio/

A 41-year-old Pennsylvania man is facing murder charges for killing his daughter’s 17-year-old boyfriend, after suspecting the boy was supplying his daughter with drugs. Beaver Falls resident Michael D.Biagio, 41, was arrested immediately after the July 19 shooting that left 17-year-old Darren “Scotty” Jevcak dead. D.Biagio suspected Jevcak was supplying drugs to his daughter.

D.Biagio admitted to firing at Jevcak “five or six times,. as the teen walked out of Scustsie’s Super Pizza, in New Castle, where he worked.

D.Biagio was arraigned on July 20 and has been charged with criminal homicide and aggravated assault. He is currently being housed in the Lawrence County Prison.

It’s an open-and-shut case. D’Biagio argued with his feral snowflake over the phone, then called Jevcak, asked where he was (at his job delivering pizzas), locked & loaded, went to the pizzeria, waited for Jevcak, gunned him down, performed a killshot in front of witnesses, told them Jevcak was a druggie, walked off a little steam and waited for the cops to arrive.

Joseph Camerot, owner of Scustie’s Super Pizza, said he looked out the window of his restaurant and saw D.Biagio shooting at the teen. Camerot ran out of the restaurant and saw D.Biagio still shooting. When Camerot asked why he had shot Jevcak, D.Biagio replied that the boy had gotten his daughter “hooked on cocaine” and “so this was what drug dealers get..

.[D.Biagio] was protecting his daughter,. [Police Chief] Salem said, adding, .Now he’s not going to be with his daughter anymore. He tore up two families, for nothing. It’s senseless..

He was clearly NOT protecting his daughter. He blamed her boyfriend for her disobedience. Before the Red Pill, I would never have thought that a major duty of the Church was encouraging fathers to punish their daughters instead of everybody else.

But if the Church doesn’t teach it then apparently, nobody does.

If Barbie was using drugs then D’Biagio should have gone to the police. Maybe even given them permission to wiretap & track her, to catch the suppliers. Or put her in rehab/with distant family. Or here’s a thought: confiscate her slutphone and take her car keys away.

Another thought: wait one year then marry her off to Jevcak. They were in love and Jevcak was reportedly working two jobs while keeping his grades up. Daddy could do much worse.

There were lots of steps to be taken before capital murder.

He’s very close to white all around the iris, which is a strong indicator of derangement/drug abuse, but one should take into account that this was the mug shot for his capital murder arrest. Angled eyebrows indicate desire for conflict and it’s enhanced by the beard putting an angle on his chin/jaw. A thin nose indicates a lack of energy for social behavior. Mouth corners are turned down to indicate pessimism but again, not surprising for the context.

His hair is orderly so his mind is also orderly. Flat cheeks suggests a lack of natural dominance; he may not have had the social skills to handle this situation well. Although one doesn’t need social skills for “hello police, my daughter is dating a drug dealer, could you help me out”.

I don’t like his daughter’s eyes. White below the iris indicates a frequent state of fear. Horizontal eyebrows, generally flat eyelids, her thoughts are rational, but thick lips and rounded face shape mean she’s emotional underneath it. A pairing I see in Borderline women. The round-tipped nose with visible nostrils is a specific kind of nose that seem correlated to high-ego, but I could be wrong on that one. Visible nostrils like that indicate a open personality; noses that hide the nostrils entirely indicate a reserved/shrewd personality. Again, pessimistic mouth corners.

Taken together, she’s upset at Daddy, rational about expressing her upset attitude and lacking internal brakes against acting out. Did she choose her boyfriend to push Daddy’s buttons? Was he a likely druggie?

According to Salem, Javcek had no prior police record. .He was actually working two different jobs. By all accounts, he was a good kid.” New Castle Police Chief Robert Salem told there was no record of him having any run-ins with the police.

Family and friends are left to mourn Javcek’s untimely death. .The last couple years, we may not have spent as much time together as before, but that will never change the love and bond we had,. Jevcak’s uncle, Josh Altemus, said.

I’m undecided whether the druggie accusation was true. Working two jobs suggests a great need of money for a high school junior living with his family, but Occam’s Razor says it was simply to make payments on his car, which he presumably used to deliver those pizzas. And he’s attractive enough to interest a chick without needing to supply dope.

CHAD! It’s Incel Chad!

Okay, Javcek isn’t Chad but he didn’t die a virgin, either. He didn’t get that tattoo to honor his Amerind totem spirit. Large and multiple colors? That cost a lot of tips. Tattooing is illegal under age 18 without parental consent in PA so again, not a strong indicator of lawbreaking.

Judging from the deltoids being proportionate with the rest of his arms, he isn’t using steroids, so that’s another strike against being a druggie along with no criminal record.

His ears are remarkably low; also small and wide. That indicates he’s a slow learner, including slow to heed advice, and nonconformist. Slow learner doesn’t mean low intelligence, it means they’re more likely to pursue skillsets than general knowledge or creativity. I can see this guy doing very well in the trades/manual arts.

I associate small mouth with people who don’t talk much. The mouth/lips are pure muscle, no bone, thus are reliable indicators, but I wonder if smartphone technology allows people to be really social without talking as much as they normally would for their level of extraversion.

His eyebrows are also angled for conflict. Also low for impulsivity but this is contraindicated by the placement of his tattoo. It’s high enough on the shoulder to be easily hid by a shirt sleeve. A really impulsive guy would place that elaborate tattoo in a more visible location and be surprised when getting hired becomes more difficult. So, he might be a little headstrong but not to the point of a character flaw.

Being a gym rat is also a good indicator of discipline. That’s a good physique. He’s not eating free pizza for every meal, either, so food discipline too.

I can’t decide if his eyes are hooded or cutting-pupils. Image quality just isn’t good enough. The former would be consistent with everything else covered so I’ll go with that and say he’s emotionally reserved. Along with listening to himself more than others, acting aloof probably comes easily to him. That, a gym body and careful attention to his appearance, he could easily be a chick magnet.

Final conclusion, he might have been experimenting with drugs but his lifestyle–holding down two jobs plus school, good reputation & clean background, working out regularly, acting like a teenager but not to an irresponsible degree–is not consistent with a drug habit.

Daddy murdered Javcek because he wanted his daughter to stop self-destructing. That was never going to scare her straight (‘whipping boy’ is a completely failed concept) and now that Daddy’s in the pen for 25 to life, he won’t have the opportunity to do anything at all for her.

Don’t punish Romeo for Juliet’s behavior. She is responsible for herself and can easily find another lover.

A quick one for the funny files.

First Rule Of A Gunfight: bring a gun.

Second Rule: Bring friends with guns.

Third Rule: Make sure your gun works before go-time.

Gunman’s weapon jams twice as he tries to shoot woman, NYPD video shows

https://www.foxnews.com/us/video-from-nypd-shows-gunmans-weapon-jam-as-he-tries-to-shoot-a-woman

22 July 2019

New York City police released stunning video Monday showing what could have been a fatal encounter — except the masked gunman’s weapon jammed twice.

Stunning? They meant hilarious! You can hear him curse even with his face covered and no audio filmed by a potato.

Is ‘gunman’ even the correct term here? Wouldn’t he be a “useless chunk of metal-man”?

http://video.foxnews.com/v/6062703825001

Police say the intended target was a 45-year-old woman. The would-be shooter was still being sought and it wasn’t immediately clear why he attempted to shoot the woman.

The 24-second video clip was captured Friday in South Ozone Park, Queens, near Kennedy Airport.

I searched for it on youTube by entering “South Ozone Park” and wow, that place be pimpin’ like Compton.

The gunman wore a black shirt over his face to disguise his identity, according to the station.

This is why Heritage Americans are superior to vibrants: there’s a time gap between “I want to rob that guy” and pulling out the gun. Time that can be spent on preparation, noticing security cameras and thinking about honest work. Vibrants be like Nike “just do it”.

The footage shows the man struggling as the gun jams a first time, stepping back for a few moments, then stepping forward again and pointing the gun at the woman — and ultimately running off when the weapon jammed for a second time.

.Thankfully the gun did not fire before the suspect fled the scene,. the NYPD said.

The footage shows the shirt falling from the man’s face as he flees.

And his pants off his dumb ass.

Police said the suspect was wearing a white shirt, blue jean shorts, black socks and black Nike slides, the station reported.

Oh, and he’s black. But maybe that just gets assumed in Queens.

When a wife gives her husband an ultimatum before she’s even his wife, there is only one correct response:

Which brings us to the tragic pre-tale of PGA golfer Rickie Fowler’s mullet.

Not even that impressive yet.

Rickie Fowler’s Mullet Haircut Is Real MVP of PGA Championship

htt ps://heavy.com/sports/2019/05/rickie-fowler-mullet-haircut-why-jarrod-lyle/

Rickie Fowler has a long way to go to catch Brooks Koepka at the PGA Championship, but his mullet haircut has already won the week. Fowler is proudly rocking the mullet at Bethpage, but it is more than just a weird fashion statement. Fowler and fellow golfer Jason Dufner have implemented “Mullet May” and its all for a great cause, per Golf Channel’s Cara Banks.

.@RickieFowler confirms on @GolfCentral the long flow has been for “Mullet May. a new idea he & @JasonDufner decided to adopt to raise awareness for their respective foundations . Fowler’s will now focus more on leukaemia due to his close friendship with Jarrod Lyle,. Banks tweeted.

Lyle is a former PGA golfer who tragically passed away on August 8, 2018. He had been fighting leukemia for nearly 20 years as PGATour.com detailed:

“For more than half of his life, Lyle dealt with and fought the disease that begins in the bone marrow cells and spreads through blood. The battle, which lasted nearly 20 years, into adulthood and for a good part of his professional golf career, ended with his death Wednesday at 8:20 p.m. local time at his home in Melbourne, surrounded by his wife and daughters.

“Lyle was 36, and while doctors said he was cancer-free, his body had been ravaged by years of medication and just last week he chose to end treatments and leave the hospital.”

Lyle. Age 36 and fighting leukemia for twenty years, that’s harsh.

During the PGA Championship, Fowler reflected on his relationship with Lyle.

.It.s been fun to be thinking about him while we’re out there playing because he would probably be the one to kind of kick you in the butt if you started feeling sad or bad,. Fowler told Golf.com. .He would kind of give you a hard time and tell to you man up or something along those lines. It’s been enjoyable celebrating his life, and we’ll continue to do that..

Alas, his intended was not amused:

Rickie Fowler’s Future Wife, Allison Stokke, Wants Mullet Cut for Wedding

htt ps://heavy.com/sports/2019/07/rickie-fowler-wife-mullet-girlfriend-allison-stokke/

Soon-to-be-ux-&-ex Allison on the left, with serious mullet-envy. I did some research on Fowler’s mullet (can’t believe I just wrote that) and she must know that Fowler has a history of looking Like That. Per https://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/02/rickie-fowler-haircut

Fowler in 2012. He looks good.

2013 was apparently his first mullet attempt. He needs that facial hair back.

2014 and he’s lost his mojo. Fowler is one of those few men who look MORE masculine with a mullet. And being a golfer helps shed the stigma. “I’m not trailer trash, I’m PGA.”

His fiance doesn’t want him getting his mojo mullet back?

Rickie Fowler is sporting a mullet for a good cause, but his longtime girlfriend, Allison Stokke, wants the golfer to cut his hair before their wedding. Fowler and Stokke are planning an October wedding and the golfer plans to have a new haircut when his future wife walks down the aisle, per The Telegraph.

*SHIT TEST ALERT*

*SHIT TEST ALERT*

*THIS IS NOT A DRILL*

.I.m going to miss it when it’s gone, but it can’t say forever,. Fowler told The Telegraph. .I don’t see it as a possible hairdo for the wedding in October. We’ll have it off by then..

Wedding fail.

As for the mullet, it is a nod to Fowler’s late friend Jarrod Lyle as the golfer aims to raise awareness for leukemia. What started as “Mullet May” has now gone well into the summer.

Fowler is mourning his friend and doing some promotion for leukemia research, and getting his style back in the process, and Allison wants none of that the moment she’s in the picture. A very bad indicator of marital happiness.

The couple got engaged in June of 2018 and are now planning an October wedding. Fowler announced the news on “National Best Friend Day” back on June 8, 2018.

.Today is National Best Friend Day so I wanted to lock mine down.I WON!!. Fowler posted on Instagram.

It’s like a train wreck you see coming but can’t stop.

Earlier this year, Fowler gave Stokke a shoutout on her 30th birthday.

.Welcome to 30 @allisonstokke! I love you and I couldn’t be happier to be the one occupying the seat across from you.I.m glad we get to do life together! Happy birthday!! I win!!. Fowler noted on Instagram.

[Allison] Stokke is a former college pole vaulter and frequently posts fitness videos.

Attention whore confirmed, baby rabies possible. How insecure does a female need to be, to be intimidated by a six-inch mullet?

A new diversity & inclusion behavior that you haven’t seen in the headlines is “Straight Pride” marches. There’s pushback against the homos, it’s just getting the silent treatment, but that dam is beginning to break. Enjoy a day trip to the following, safe for work unless you’re in the corporate sector:

http://superhappyfunamerica.com/

STRAIGHT PRIDE FLAG
The Blue and Pink flag, which has represented our community for over 0.5 years, is integral to our movement. Unfortunately, the City of Boston has discriminated against our sexual orientation by denying us the opportunity to raise the flag at City Hall. We will continue to fight for equality until the Walsh administration embraces our community and a more progressive vision of the future.

Women of Eve

Women Of Eve have joined together across the country in support of asking the LGBQT community to include the S for straight. Let’s not exclude the women and men of this world that procreate. After all, without us there would be no LGBQT. We are asking for fairness and total inclusion.

And other good stuff. They even have teeth!

Netflix hates the straight

Super Happy Fun America reached out to Netflix with an offer to sponsor the 1st annual Boston Straight Pride Parade based upon their reputation as a progressive and forward-looking company. We believed that they would jump at the opportunity to become involved in our young civil rights movement. Sadly, we have learned that Netflix is a heterophobic company steeped in hatred and bigotry. They not only rejected our offer but threatened us with litigation if we did not stop using their name and logo, which is perfectly legal for editorial or informational purposes.

Netflix labelled us bullies and declared that their legal department “is here, it’s queer, and it’s telling you to steer clear.” Obviously, Netflix has no qualms about using their position of power to threaten marginalized groups who are exercising their 1st amendment rights. It appears that their legal department is staffed by gay supremacists who are so accustomed to privilege that our goal of equality for straights feels like oppression to them. In fact, it is Netflix that is acting like a bully. We have every right to inform the public about our attempts to gain sponsors for our parade and their hate will not stop us.

I can’t even fisk that, it’s so good. This is reportedly what Netflix’s lawyers had to say about potentially endorsing SHFA:

Dear John, Mark, and Samson, [all @superhappyfunamerica.com]

You are using the Netflix logo to promote your event, which despite its name is about hate–not pride. That’s gross and deeply hurtful, but it’s also deceptive misinformation and infringes our legal rights. Netflix has nothing to do with your organization or event. Indeed, it’s telling that you feel the need to lie to gain legitimacy.

As if fags get to throw THAT accusation at anybody. This is so unprofessionally worded that SHFA is either making it all up or Christ’s Own /Pol/. And I’ve ruled out the former… more in a minute, but let’s continue with the letter. Emphases mine as usual.

We write to you for two reasons: (1) to set the record straight that you are spreading misinformation about Netflix’s involvement or sponsorship of your organization and its events; and (2) to notify you that you are infringing our trademark and other intellectual property rights and if you do not cease such use immediately we will have no choice but to consider further legal action. Whether you like it or not, you are infringing our legal rights and we demand that you cease doing so immediately.

You should know that we’re unafraid of bullies. Our legal department is here, it’s queer, and it’s telling you to steer clear.

We expect removal of our name and logo from all of your materials within 24 hours. Sincerely,

Netflix IP Department

Whoa, passive-aggressive much, IP Department? I haven’t actually seen Netflix’s logo on their site but this appears to be a pattern of SHFA’s, to offer large/Converged corporations the chance to sponsor their events and Straight Pride Marches, and posting the more hilarious responses for the amusement of the cis-gendered. Which brought me to some independent confirmation:

TripAdvisor sends cease-and-desist letter to organizer of Boston “Straight Pride Parade” peppered with song references about equality and diversity

https://www.masslive.com/boston/2019/07/tripadvisor-sends-cease-and-desist-letter-to-organizer-of-boston-straight-pride-parade-peppered-with-song-references-about-equality-and-diversity.html

Needham-based TripAdvisor has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the lead organizer of Boston’s “Straight Pride Parade,. writing that the group is infringing upon the company’s intellectual property rights by using its logo without permission.

The letter, addressed to John Hugo, president of the group Super Happy Fun America that is organizing the controversial Aug. 31 event, orders the group to remove a TripAdvisor logo that appears on its website under the “corporate sponsors” section.

The letter also says that the group’s statement that it is “in negotiations” with TripAdvisor as a “potential sponsor” is completely false.

Written by Bradford Young, one of TripAdvisor’s attorneys, the letter is filled with references to songs by Queen, Lady Gaga, Cher, Village People, Madonna and others.

.I.m Coming Out and saying this clearly: you are infringing upon TripAdvisor’s intellectual property rights,. the letter states.

The company said it chose songs that reflect equality and diversity, and that have been applauded by the LGBTQ community. …

The “Straight Pride Parade” received a permit from the City of Boston in June.

Mayor Marty Walsh previously said that the city cannot deny a permit based on an organization’s values.

I suppose Walsh left off the “not yet”. But this is too good! Let’s go straight to the source material. How many pop references can you find?

I get sixteen. How can these lawyers Dare To Be Stupid like this? They’re gonna Eat It big-time when their lack of professionalism catches up with them. It’s bad when even the slightest criticism can send them Off The Deep End. BigCorp is giving them Money For Nothing!

Smells Like Nirvana to me but hey, I’m so Tacky that this is like my own, personal Amish Paradise. Us White & Nerdy types, We Perform This Way, baby.

And now, a word about our sponsor:

John Hugo. I’m not certain if he’s got the New Moon eyes–lower eyelids concave, matching the upper concave which the Chinese physiognomists in particular think indicates deception (Hugo’s SHFA is thus an example that not all deceptive tendencies are immoral/evil) …Or if his eyes are simply hooded, indicating emotional defensiveness. (which would be useful in doing something like SHFA). He also a big nose, indicating financial interests. Eyebrows aren’t promising about his intellect. I’m surprised his ears are very flat to his head, indicating conformity, when SHFA is not conformist at all. But in his regular life, he’s an Establishment Republican, so there is that:

https://sites.google.com/view/johnhugo/about-john

Woburn Republican John Hugo officially announces his candidacy for Congress in the MA 5th Congressional district. .I’ve submitted well over the required amount of certified signatures with the Elections. Division of the MA Secretary of State and I’ve been certified as a candidate. said Hugo.

For nearly a year, John Hugo has been actively reaching out to various Republican and Independent voters throughout the District. .I’ve met with many if not most Republican Ward and Town Committees, along with other grassroots activists. Everywhere I go, I hear the same things: .We need someone willing to challenge Katherine Clark. Clark is out of touch with the District and needs to be held accountable for her extreme views and actions… Said Hugo . adding “The residents of the 5th Congressional District need a Congressman or woman that will represent the needs of the District and will uphold the Constitution. Clark has failed miserably in this regard..

Hugo pledges to always first consider how legislation impacts the people of the 5th Congressional District and whether or not the Constitution authorizes the Federal Government to legislate on the matter. .If it’s right for the district, I.ll support it. However not every issue, is meant to be addressed by D.C. insiders that know little about needs and even less about the aspirations of the people living in MA 5th Congressional District. If there is good proposal that is better suited for State action, I.ll use my clout as United States. Congressman to tirelessly work with Massachusetts Law makers to make it happen. Many if not most, good proposals should be locally administered, where it can be closely monitored by the voters. This is what the Founders intended and the Constitution Requires!. Said Hugo, when asked about his views on limited government.

The 54 yr. old lifelong Massachusetts resident and Arlington native, describes himself as a “working class candidate.. .I struggle to earn a living and pay my bills, like every working person in the district. I believe Founding Fathers envisioned a government where ordinary people, from every walk of life would serve in government for a while and then return to their private lives.” Said Hugo. He pledges to only seek to serve three terms if elected. .I.m a strong proponent of Term Limits. Six years . Three terms, that’s long enough for anyone to be in Congress. Then I.ll return home to live under the same laws I helped to pass..

If SHFA is a grandiose election campaign then he’s a political artist and I hope he gets the chance to make good on that three-term promise.

There’s no surprise that gun confiscation has failed in Kiwi Land. But there IS surprise that a violent gang spokesman talked a little too much to the press.

Noncompliance Kneecaps New Zealand’s Gun Control Scheme

Noncompliance Kneecaps New Zealand’s Gun Control Scheme

By J.D. Tuccille, 8 July 2019

Once again, responding to a horrendous crime by inflicting knee-jerk, authoritarian restrictions on innocent people proves to be an ineffective means of convincing people to obey. Specifically, New Zealand’s government.which also stepped up censorship and domestic surveillance after bloody attacks on two Christchurch mosques earlier this year.is running into stiff resistance to new gun rules from firearms owners who are slow to surrender now-prohibited weapons and will probably never turn them in.

Officials should have seen it coming.

They did, per documents linked to by this reason.com post. Gun bans are win-win for Leftoids. They either disarm the innocent or condemn the innocent as guilty. It’s a quirk of having a soul that even when you don’t believe in God, you still feel a need to justify your conduct.

As of last week, only around 700 weapons had been turned over. There are an estimated 1.5 million guns.with an unknown number subject to the new prohibition on semiautomatic firearms.in the country overall.

Traditionally relaxed in its approach to firearms regulation, and enjoying a low crime rate, New Zealand has no firearms registration rule. That means authorities have no easy way of knowing what guns are in circulation or who owns them.

“These weapons are unlikely to be confiscated by police because they don’t know of their existence,” Philippa Yasbek of Gun Control NZ admitted. “These will become black-market weapons if their owners choose not to comply with the law and become criminals instead.”

My point exactly. Gun bans turn ordinary, law-abiding citizens into “criminals with black-market weapons” without the citizen doing anything or potentially, even knowing.

The very concept of innocence is hated by the wicked.

Yasbek’s organization advocates registering all guns in private hands. But that won’t help with gathering guns already in the possession of owners appalled by the government’s attack on the rights of innocent people.government attacks, it’s worth noting, that come in response to the crimes of one man who explicitly anticipated just such a response.

“I chose firearms for the affect it would have on social discourse,” the killer wrote in a document he released to explain his crimes. “The gun owners of New Zealand are a beaten, miserable bunch of baby boomers, who have long since given up the fight. When was the last time they won increased rights? Their loss was inevitable. I just accelerated things a bit.”

Politicians fulfilled the murderer’s predictions with panic-driven legislation.

I was about to say. But again, NZ officials knew they were doing exactly what Tarrant wanted. Both feminists and white nationalists want massive, sudden, violent social change. If Tarrant was the Prime Minister, can anybody doubt he’d be doing exactly what PM Jacinda Ardern is right now? Tarrant specifically said he used guns in order to get them banned more quickly… it’s like they’re working together but can’t tolerate the other’s body odor.

Incidentally, here’s PM Jacinda. The smile is not unusual for her:

Either her dentures don’t fit well or she craps only when full of ego.

Just as Australian police named “outlaw motorcycle gangs, Middle Eastern organised crime groups, and other groups engaged in trafficking illicit commodities such as drugs” as beneficiaries of the prohibition-fueled black market in firearms, underground organizations are similarly poised to prosper in New Zealand. Gangs in the island nation announced very loudly after the new legislation was introduced that they wouldn’t be surrendering their own weapons.

“Will gangs get rid of their weapons? No,” one prominent gang leader told Stuff. “Because of who we are, we can’t guarantee our own safety.”

So Kiwis who actually do comply with the confiscation scheme will put themselves at a disadvantage relative to violent gangs that don’t intend to obey.

After this article, we’ll proceed to that “prominent gang leader”.

They would also be putting themselves at a disadvantage relative to the government, which is retaining its own weapons despite a distinct lack of competence (in April, a police station provided one-stop, discount gun shopping for an enterprising burglar) and intends to further squeeze the country’s liberty. Even before the latest law has been fully implemented, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is planning more gun legislation, including registration. Additionally, the Security Intelligence Service stepped up domestic spying after the mosque attacks and saw a big boost in its funding courtesy of the latest budget.

Arguably, defiant gun owners are just being realistic in seeing little to gain by obeying restrictive laws that have their greatest impact on those who pose no threat to their neighbors.

Or they’re connecting the dots between “we’ve lost control of our gov’t” and “they just declared me a criminal.”

So, let’s go to that gang leader.

Gang bosses say weapons won’t be handed back after Christchurch mosque shooting

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/christchurch-shooting/111594950/gangs-bosses-say-weapons-wont-be-handed-back-after-christchurch-mosque-shooting?rm=m

By Carmen Parahi and Florence Kerr, 30 March 2019

A gunman apparently motivated by a white supremacist ideology killed 50 Muslims in two Christchurch mosques. In the aftermath, gangs like the Mongrel Mob and Black Power were criticised for trying to support the Muslim community. Their leaders cannot understand why.

I’m already suspicious. The headline says “gangs won’t disarm” but this teaser paragraph says “gangs were criticized for supporting Islam”.

Ask yourself . Sonny Fatu says . how many mass shootings in New Zealand have been committed by gang members? None, he says.

“And how many have been committed by someone of P.keh. origin? Many if we include the terror raids of marae when colonialists stole land and killed women and children, but in more recent times we have Aramoana and now this . the murder of 50 innocent people.”

Fatu is president of the Waikato branch of the Mongrel Mob.

And this points the article in a third direction, hatred of whites. “We never did any mass shootings except when you colonials forced us to”? That there’s the reason I personally own guns. I’m not dumb enough to pick a fight with the State–that’s a last stand at best–but they keep importing nonwhites and teaching them to hate us. If they even need to teach them to hate us.

In the aftermath of the Christchurch attacks, the Mongrel Mob was criticised for having used sieg heil slogans and swastikas. The Waikato chapter stopped the practice four years ago.

The gang was also criticised for offering to provide security around mosques at services marking the death of 50 Muslims in the Christchurch terror attack. This was a crude PR ploy and gang members would turn in their own guns if they were genuine, one commentator suggested.

But Fatu accuses P.keh. commentators of diverting attention away from the Christchurch mosque killer. The real issue, he says, is racism.

P.keh. means “white New Zealander” so Fatu is being a hypocrite here. “Don’t talk about the perpetrator! Talk about how all whites are responsible for this, or you’re a racist!”

“When a M.ori person commits a crime of extraordinary circumstances the M.ori community are asked as a collective to front on it and develop ways to make sure their people don’t do it again. The same is asked of our Muslim, Polynesian, any person of colour,” he says.

“When a white person commits a crime it is seen as an individual act of violence and only tars the individual and maybe their family.

“There are a number of our P.keh. people who are sick with racism. They need to come together as a collective and address this and heal this.

“Our brown brothers and sisters shouldn’t have to fix this for them . they, we, have endured enough.”

Dumbass complains white people aren’t cohesive enough just one breath after criticizing the colonization efforts of the last time white people were cohesive. When white men have our act together, Fatu, we don’t beg for the approval of the Maori. We subjugate continents.

“As my friend [Black Power life member] Dennis O’Reilly stated in a recent interview, it is a fact gangs identify with marginalised communities. What has happened in New Zealand is those faced with various forms of oppression have synergised to form a powerful unity in our community.

“Tikanga Maori, Fa’a Samoa and Islam share various cultural aspects and protocols.”

Specifically, methamphetamine trafficking. On that note:

GUNS, DRUGS AND VIOLENCE

Neither Fatu nor Black Power’s O’Reilly hide from the fact their gangs have guns . some of them illegal. And neither is willing to concede they should turn them in after the Christchurch attack.

“Will gangs get rid of their weapons? No,” Fatu says. “Because of who we are, we can’t guarantee our own safety.”

Per wikipedia, Mongrel Mob has been repeatedly hit by multi-jurisdictional police actions for meth production and distribution over the last 20 years. They aren’t talking about safety, they’re talking about drug territory.

A report by the Law and Order Select Committee in April 2017 described unlawful firearms possession is an integral aspect of New Zealand’s gang culture. A 2014 police analysis showed 44 per cent of gang members had been charged with firearms offences.

No shit, Sherlock. Maybe you should ban gangs instead of guns.

Police said 29 gun licences were given to known gang members in 2016. Six of them were later revoked.

According to O’Reilly, Black Power members use guns to hunt for food to feed their families and to defend themselves. He admits many obtain their guns illegally.

One doubts that many New Zealanders still hunt squirrels for dinner. But if that was his way of confessing to poaching then the environmentalists will jump in soon.

The two rival gangs, with a majority of M.ori and Pasifika membership have been working together in the past few years as other, criminal organisations move into the country. O’Reilly says the guns are used to protect the drug trade within those new groups.

At least they’re opposing the immivasion. Think global and cook meth local!

“They’ve been imported deliberately, as part of methamphetamine shipments, in parts,” O’Reilly says. “These are not M.ori criminal networks working here, these are criminal networks.”

Ethnic gangs like the Mongrel Mob and Black Power are involved mainly in gang-on-gang violence, according to Fatu. They also police their own members if they step out of line.

“It’s not in our culture to inflict harm on innocent people like what happened in Christchurch,” Fatu says.

“The attacks between our organisations are gang-on-gang, they do not involve the non-gang members. Although there may be peripheral damage and violence that occasionally spills out into the public eye, it is absolutely and without intention for any harm to be caused to non-gang members.”

We can trust criminals to have guns because they only attack other criminals? I get a suspicion that he’s actually talking to the government, explaining why the gangs should keep their guns but not the innocents.

STANDING WITH ISLAM

Black Power and Mongrel Mob members gathered at the Wainuiomata marae last weekend. O’Reilly says 50 to 100 men, women and children travelled there from as far away as Kaitaia and Dunedin. They were meeting to discuss the future for the gang community in an effort to distance themselves from public perceptions of criminality.

But… you’re criminals. People perceive you as criminals because you ARE criminals. Even if you do talk like politicians.

Asked if turning in their guns was discussed at the hui, O’Reilly says: “Of course not. Why the hell would you be talking about handing back guns when you’re talking about progressing your family and moving from pathology to potential. Where on earth would discussions about guns come up in that?”

Because the innocent need guns to be safe from gangs like yours. Perhaps more people would voluntarily disarm if such gangs weren’t so powerful as to openly parade in solidarity with Islam:

The group, wearing their gang patches, decided to visit the Kilbirnie mosque in Wellington on the Saturday.

Fatu insists the gangs are not seeking public approval from their support for the Muslim community.

“We’re not trying to display change, we don’t care if people think we’re changing or not,” Fatu says.

“We’re doing it because that is what our people want now.”

That’s what the government said, too. I can’t imagine why “the people” of New Zealand are clinging to their guns while they’re stuck between their gov’t punishing them for the Mosque Shooting and the drug gangs threatening to blame them for the actions of non-resident Tarrant, all while claiming that that is what “the people” want.

They Obviously. Want. Their Guns.

I skipped Twelve for this one because it’s that special. San Francisco Police go full woke LGBT and march in a Gay Pride Parade… and their fellow LGBT Paraders attacked them because police work is heteronormative!

San Fran PD devote time, funds to Pride Parade- get attacked at parade

San Fran PD devote time, funds to Pride Parade- get attacked at parade

By Holly Sullivan, 1 July 2019

The article’s opening pic kinda says it all.

The San Francisco Police Department took to Twitter earlier this month to proudly display their new rainbow trimmed uniform patches.

A police vehicle was even emblazoned with rainbow decals making the unmistakable statement that the SFPD supports the LGBTQ community.

Not only did they do this, they apparently did it for the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 in Manhattan.

Segue to Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots

The Stonewall Inn, located at 51 and 53 Christopher Street, along with several other establishments in the city, was owned by the Genovese crime family. In 1966, three members of the Mafia invested $3,500 to turn the Stonewall Inn into a gay bar, after it had been a restaurant and a nightclub for heterosexuals. Once a week a police officer would collect envelopes of cash as a payoff, as the Stonewall Inn had no liquor license. It had no running water behind the bar.used glasses were run through tubs of water and immediately reused. There were no fire exits, and the toilets overran consistently. Though the bar was not used for prostitution, drug sales and other “cash transactions” took place. It was the only bar for gay men in New York City where dancing was allowed; dancing was its main draw since its re-opening as a gay club.

Fifty years and little has changed. Not even the fags now managing the police payroll.

Visitors to the Stonewall Inn in 1969 were greeted by a bouncer who inspected them through a peephole in the door. The legal drinking age was 18, and to avoid unwittingly letting in undercover police (who were called “Lily Law”, “Alice Blue Gown”, or “Betty Badge”), visitors would have to be known by the doorman, or look gay.

Physiognomy!

The age of the clientele ranged between the upper teens and early thirties, and the racial mix was evenly distributed among white, black, and Hispanic patrons. Because of its even mix of people, its location, and the attraction of dancing, the Stonewall Inn was known by many as “the gay bar in the city”.

Police raids on gay bars were frequent.occurring on average once a month for each bar. Many bars kept extra liquor in a secret panel behind the bar, or in a car down the block, to facilitate resuming business as quickly as possible if alcohol was seized. Bar management usually knew about raids beforehand due to police tip-offs, and raids occurred early enough in the evening that business could commence after the police had finished…

The period immediately before June 28, 1969, was marked by frequent raids of local bars.including a raid at the Stonewall Inn on the Tuesday before the riots.and the closing of the Checkerboard, the Tele-Star, and two other clubs in Greenwich Village.

Historian David Carter presents information indicating that the Mafia owners of the Stonewall and the manager were blackmailing wealthier customers, particularly those who worked in the Financial District. They appeared to be making more money from extortion than they were from liquor sales in the bar. Carter deduces that when the police were unable to receive kickbacks from blackmail and the theft of negotiable bonds (facilitated by pressuring gay Wall Street customers), they decided to close the Stonewall Inn permanently.

Scripture says it’s not good to pine for the “good old days”. Those Commies and other freaks were quite violent and the institutional corruption… makes modern times understandable as an extension of previous trends.

The raid did not go as planned. Standard procedure was to line up the patrons, check their identification, and have female police officers take customers dressed as women to the bathroom to verify their sex, upon which any men dressed as women would be arrested. Those dressed as women that night refused to go with the officers. Men in line began to refuse to produce their identification. The police decided to take everyone present to the police station, after separating those cross-dressing in a room in the back of the bar. Maria Ritter, then known as male to her family, recalled, “My biggest fear was that I would get arrested. My second biggest fear was that my picture would be in a newspaper or on a television report in my mother’s dress!”

The uprising was sparked by fear of their evil deeds being exposed to the light of day. Everything had worked well enough when they could bribe the cops and give token participation, but when that cozy, organized-crime racket fell apart, the police started doing their jobs.

Both patrons and police recalled that a sense of discomfort spread very quickly, spurred by police who began to assault some of the lesbians by “feeling some of them up inappropriately” while frisking them.

This might be the first recorded false rape accusation in American History. Since American history didn’t exist before the Sixties.

The police tried to restrain some of the crowd, knocking a few people down, which incited bystanders even more. Some of those handcuffed in the wagon escaped when police left them unattended (deliberately, according to some witnesses). As the crowd tried to overturn the police wagon, two police cars and the wagon.with a few slashed tires.left immediately, with Inspector Pine urging them to return as soon as possible…

Ten police officers.including two policewomen.barricaded themselves, Van Ronk, Howard Smith (a column writer for The Village Voice), and several handcuffed detainees inside the Stonewall Inn for their own safety. … Garbage cans, garbage, bottles, rocks, and bricks were hurled at the building, breaking the windows.

When demonstrators broke through the windows.which had been covered by plywood by the bar owners to deter the police from raiding the bar.the police inside unholstered their pistols. The doors flew open and officers pointed their weapons at the angry crowd, threatening to shoot. … [after 45 minutes total] the Tactical Patrol Force (TPF) of the New York City Police Department arrived to free the police trapped inside the Stonewall.

While the homos weren’t Communists, the local area was a Communist hotspot. Many Communists spontaneously joined the rioting that followed that night and the next, most famously Bob Dylan’s mentor Dave Van Ronk. The formation of organized homosexual organizations in the wake of the riots was clearly a consequence of new ties with Communist subversives.

The Mattachine Society newsletter a month later offered its explanation of why the riots occurred: “It catered largely to a group of people who are not welcome in, or cannot afford, other places of homosexual social gathering… The Stonewall became home to these kids. When it was raided, they fought for it. That, and the fact that they had nothing to lose other than the most tolerant and broadminded gay place in town, explains why.”

Yeah, sure, that’s why they arsoned the Stonewall when the police hid inside it. Because it was the only home they had, and totally not because they had the chance to kill some pigs. /sarc

End segue.

Well… looks like what’s old is new again.

Captain Troy Dangerfield added to the Tweet .It’s officially the start to #PrideMonth & I am #Proud to stand with the #LGBTQ community of San Francisco..

Hey, he’s not wearing a rainbow patch! They didn’t have ’em out when this picture was made but that’s no excuse!

The SFPD didn’t stop there. According to KQED Arts. Nastia Voynovskaya, SFPD officers also marched alongside participants in the parade.

However, in the midst of the celebration, the parade came to a halt. A video shared by KPIX.s Katie Nielson shows approximately a dozen people, arms linked, completely blocking the street in a display of protest.

KHSU further reports that a protestor in the human barricade called through the microphone:

.The system of policing upholds white supremacy, hetero-patriarchy, gender binaries and capitalist rule..

Close, bitch. The system of policing upholds law and order. I like how you threw in ‘capitalist rule’ as a nod to your Commie handlers.

Nota bene, law enforcement: now that the freaks have your approval and obedience, they want you gone. Which is what they’ve always wanted, ever since those NYC speakeasy days. The Communists just taught them to lie about it and join their Long March, is all.

The protestors also called for the release of transgender individuals being held in the San Francisco jail.

Hail Satan. Or as the ancient Jewish mob put it, “Give us Barabbas!”

Nielson further reports that some protestors during the event not only broke barricades but also threw water bottles at San Francisco Police Department officers. KHSU reports that a spokesperson for SFPD confirmed that two protestors were taken into custody.

Police: “We love you LGBTs! Even our uniforms now have rainbows! Half of our leadership is now LGBTs!”

LGBT activists: *throw rocks*

Police: “You’re under arrest for attacking us!”

LGBT activists: “See! Nothing has changed! Get your laws off my body!”

KQED Arts. Voynovskaya reports that a campaign called “Cops and Corporations Out of Pride” was organized by a group dubbing themselves Gay Shame. Gay Shame called upon the organizers of San Francisco Pride to entirely ban police presence at the event which drew approximately 1 million attendees.

Gay Shame promotes its “Cops and Corporations Out of Pride” campaign via video segments on their website of various LGBTQ+ personalities opposed to police or corporate participation in pride events.

KQED Arts quotes a video by Miss Major, a former sex worker: .These m.-rf..rs are only out to arrest, put us in jail, lock us up, beat us up, get us to suck their d-ck and kick us out naked to go home. Happened to me twice, I know what the hell I’m talking about. They should have never been in the Pride parade..

LET staff watched the entirety of Miss Majors. video in which she also says:

.The blue suit is all the same. They are all worthless, unimaginable horrible people and destructive to mankind in general especially to my trans and gender nonconforming community..

Remember: what today is left-wing fringe is tomorrow’s always-been-this-way. And if SFPD think the Socialists won’t get rid of them, they should look at the bail bondmen on their way out. Then they should look at 20th-Century Soviets, at how many police were replaced with “citizen militias”.

Get woke, go broke.

Gay Shame wasn’t the only group calling for San Francisco Pride to reject involvement by corporate entities. A letter signed by 140 staff members of Google requested that San Francisco Pride ban involvement by the technology giant in the 2019 parade as well as affirm that Google would not be welcome to sponsor or otherwise participate in future citing .Google’s failure to act in support of our community..

Google’s employees are too woke to let Google subsidize their flagrantly expensive sex lives? “We do not allow Google to support our community because of Google’s failure to act in support of our community!”

Reuters Maria Caspani and Matthew Lavietes report that protestors in San Francisco’s halted parade also cried “Stonewall was a riot” referencing a series of 1969 police raids of New York City establishments with primarily LGBTQ+ patrons. It is reasonable to assume that none of the SFPD officers present Sunday were involved in the events on the east coast 53 years prior.

It doesn’t matter, Barbie. It’s a symbology thing. They wear the uniform; therefore, they’re hated today for the same reason police were hated then: because police are symbols of law and justice.

Yes, reality frequently disappoints, but religious zealots are big on symbols. Notice the LGBT overuse of the rainbow. Sexual perversion is not a civil rights concern. It is a religious concern: anti-Christianity. But the gay community doesn’t have a new religion to fill in the gap made by removing Christianity, which I’m sure was the Communists’ reason for helping them organize back in the Stonewall days.

One day soon, when the Communists place their globalist humanism into that gap, they’ll decide the gay community is no longer useful.

KHSU reports that one protestor in Sunday’s human barricade yelled through her microphone .Police do not make us feel safe. and was met by cheers of approval.

However, the necessity for the services of the officers are not entirely unrealized. According to Voynovskaya, SacPride, the LGBTQ+ Pride event in Sacramento, banned the presence of police in their event. However, on June 7, only one day prior to events being scheduled to commence, they reversed their decision.

When they finally commit to banning cops, there will be a spectacularly violent example of black knighting. But it’s entirely in keeping with the behavior of “God did NOT make us male and female” persons, that they would drive away the very white knights trying to protect them from their victims.

And I’m actually sympathetic. There are valuable lessons here for would-be Good Samaritans.

Florida man used Taser to fend off bystanders following crash, police say

https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-man-taser-bystanders-crash

By Ryan Gaydos, 16 July 2019

A Florida man was arrested Monday after police say he caused a car crash and then used a Taser to threaten bystanders who’d gathered at the accident scene.

The Florida Highway Patrol said the incident began when Nicholas Wagner, 23, ran a red light in Port Richey and hit a car filled with teenagers, prompting several people nearby to rush over and offer help, according to WFLA-TV.

A face with remarkably small features. When the ‘inner face’ of eyes, nose and mouth is smaller than the outer face of skull shape, it denotes a personality well-insulated from the outside world. Not meaning introverted or sociopathic, just that concern for others isn’t going to be a big emotional deal to him. It’s a useful attribute for high-stress jobs. His face generally being rounded, however, I’d guess his personality is emotional without caring much about others’ emotions.

Also, I think men with small mouths tend to be men of action. If they preferred to talk then their mouths would be more stretched out from exercise, methinks.

But Wagner reportedly became angry and started threatening the Good Samaritans with a Taser, according to the station.

.The person we arrested broke out a Taser, started threatening people with Tasers, started chasing people with the Taser, actually dry stunned one of the victims in the chest,. Pasco Sheriff’s Office spokesman Kevin Doll said.

Meaning it was a handheld taser, not a pistol-style taser.

Wagner told WFLA-TV, however, that the situation only deteriorated after one of the bystanders began yelling at his sister, who’d since arrived at the accident scene and whose car Wagner was sitting in trying to collect himself.

.He started getting vulgar with my sister and everything and that’s when I freaked out, I had a lot of anxiety,” Wagner said. “I was sitting in my sister’s car, he wouldn’t leave me alone.”

Rich Abbate, one of the people who Wagner allegedly Tased, told FOX13 News he and some of the others who’d gathered thought Wagner was going to leave the scene of the crash when they saw him climb into his sister’s car. Abbate said he doesn’t regret getting involved.

That explains the situation. The collision happened and Wagner quickly called family to help him out. He’d need a ride home, after all, and it’s a good idea to have somebody less emotionally agitated to take point and be clear-headed. Adrenaline causes tunnel-vision.

But when Sister arrived and Wagner sat down in the passenger seat, Abbate thought he was going to flee the scene and involved himself. Bad move. Wagner was already agitated from “I’m probably going to jail for hurting those two kids” and hearing Abbate accusing his sister tipped him over.

I don’t fault Wagner. His behavior is in line with who he is, it’s that simple. It shouldn’t be a crime to be a “man of action and few words”. What can we learn from this?

1. Wanting to help doesn’t mean becoming a participant.

2. A Good Samaritan in this situation should ask “Do you need an ambulance? Do you want my help?” and if the answer is no then you’re done.

3. It’s never your job to detain people. If they act like they’re gonna run, note their license plate, clothing and time/direction and wait for the cops. Don’t be a hero.

Abbate tried to be a hero and then went on a feelz trip:

.This isn’t going to deter me in any way shape or form,. he said. “As long as there is a victim out there, I think I.ll do whatever I can to help..

Wagner told WFLA-TV he only used the Taser out of self-defense.

.I was sitting in my sister’s car and he wouldn’t leave me alone and I ended up getting out of my sister’s car to tell him to pretty much back up, get away dude, I have problems,. he said. .That’s when this man kept going and kept going and I felt like he kept trying to come closer and closer to me and I zapped it. I never once touched the man..

The zapping reportedly happened when Abbate put his arm up to “deflect the taser”. Which demonstrates that Abbate has led a very sheltered life.

I saw the video but it was so dark and grainy, you aren’t missing anything. This happened at night, by the way.

Police contend Wagner didn’t have the right to use his Taser, though, and he was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Correct, he didn’t have good reason. But that felony charge is overkill. The incident was obviously not comparable to a firearm discharge or knife cut. Wagner was understandably agitated and a Good Samaritan playing “I am the law!” was asking for a life lesson. No harm done in my opinion, and I hope Wagner gets the charge dropped on the Texas “he deserved it” defense.

Wounded animals and panicked people: maintain a safe distance.

I get asked occasionally how I expect modern clergy to behave, amidst all my criticisms of them. Today, a heartwarming positive example from Brazil: Reverend Arnaldo Barros.

One way out: Pastors in Brazil converting gang members on YouTube

https://www.theoaklandpress.com/lifestyles/one-way-out-pastors-in-brazil-converting-gang-members-on/article_c1aa503c-7b1e-11e9-b988-b711fa938268.html

By Marina Lopes of The Washington Post, 10 June 2019

As gang wars drive Brazil’s homicide rate to historic highs, evangelical pastors . long revered in the nation’s slums and prisons . have come up with a new way to protect members looking for a way out.

Gang leaders say the only way to leave the business alive is to convert to Christianity. So Barros, a televangelist popular here in western Brazil, memorializes a gang member’s embrace of the ancient articles of faith using the most modern of tools: He records the conversion on his smartphone and posts the videos on YouTube, Facebook and WhatsApp. The converts gain immunity against retribution by rival gangs and their own.

Gang leaders and law enforcement officials say it works.

He’s nothing like a televangelist. The term must have a slightly different meaning in rural Brazil.

“We aren’t going to go against the will of God,” a local leader of the powerful Comando Vermelho, the gang that was pursuing Viera, told The Washington Post. “God comes first, above everything.”

“It’s become a nonviolent escape route,” agreed Lucas Gomes, the head of prisons here in Acre state. “A way to publicize, justify and explain the exit.”

Barros, meanwhile, keeps close watch on each new Christian to make sure the conversion sticks.

If it doesn’t, he lets the gangs know.

HOLY SHI’ITE! A clergyman who doesn’t just want headcount, he wants to know if they actually mean it? And stays in contact with them post-conversion? When you have ever seen that attitude in an American churchman?

Gang violence has made Brazil one of the most dangerous countries in Latin America . killings nationwide reached a record 64,000 in 2017, and the death toll remains high.

The carnage, and the sense that the government wasn’t doing enough to stop it, helped the right-wing populist Jair Bolsonaro get elected last year. The former military officer campaigned on promises to loosen gun ownership laws for private citizens and to give police more authority to shoot suspects.

Brazil, when you’re done with Bolsonaro can we Americans borrow him for a few terms of office?

That pitch resonated in Acre, where Bolsonaro won 77 percent of the vote, more than in any other state. The sparsely populated western state, wedged between Peru and Bolivia, is so often neglected by the federal government that Brazilians joke it doesn’t exist. But for the narcotrafficking gangs battling for control of Brazil’s profitable cocaine route, it has become hotly disputed turf.

The gang wars have transformed sleepy Rio Branco, a jungle-covered town of ramshackle houses and polluted canals, into one of Brazil’s most violent cities. The homicide rate in Acre’s capital rose to 64 per 100,000 in 2017, double that of the rest of the country.

Making converts has long been Barros’ business. As the death toll mounted, so did the calls. But it was a challenge spreading the message that the new Christians were out of the game in time to save their lives.

A life-and-death challenge in that neighborhood. I don’t ever see American clergy risking so much as their pensions.

“They come to me desperate for help,” the 56-year-old pastor said. “This is the only exit, the only way out. I thought, ‘How am I going to get the gang leaders to see this?’ “

For years, Brazilian gangs have posted cellphone videos on social media to keep members in line, intimidate rivals and orchestrate attacks.

As the violence has intensified, the videos have become increasingly gruesome. In 2016, a gang posted footage of the live decapitation of two men from a rival gang. By 2018, members were extracting the hearts of their decapitated rivals and waving them in front of the camera.

You can take the Incas out of the jungle…

Barros, pastor of Rio Branco’s Igreja Gera??o Eleita . the Elected Generation Church -saw these videos circulating on his feeds and decided to co-opt the approach. The social media savvy televangelist began to film gang members’ conversions and post them online to declare that the new converts were off limits. Other pastors in Acre have followed his example.

Political scientist Bruno Paes Manso studies gangs and violence at the University of Sao Paulo.

“What’s interesting is that the response here isn’t coming from the universities, from intellectuals or from the state,” he said. “It’s coming from the people who are living with these problems, who had to react and came up with this solution.”

That’s normal, professor, not interesting. Never send an egghead or bureaucrat to do a priest’s job.

The Rev. Adilson de Oliveira says the church’s endorsement of the videos adds a sense of legitimacy in a world of shifting alliances.

The locals know their priests are different from normal. Respect came from that. Can you imagine what a “seeker-sensitive” approach would have looked like in Rio Branco? “Use our altar for your decapitation needs!”

Oliveira, 60, spent nine years behind bars for armed robberies and drug dealing before he converted himself 20 years ago. Now he helps prison inmates who are looking for a different life.

“Sometimes people don’t believe that a member is leaving,” he said. “They think, ‘He was our partner. We know what he is capable of.’

“But a pastor is someone they can trust. The video says, ‘I’m leaving, but I want to stay on good terms.’ “

The videos show burly men such as Dianne Farias looking tearfully into the camera and making their confessions.

Standing before bullet-pocked buildings . and often bullet-pocked themselves . they state their names, code names and ID numbers within their gangs. They list their crimes, the number of people they have killed and announce they are now men of God:

Repentance. Such a rare sight. As rare in North America as an altar call that begins with “turn away from your crimes”.

“My brothers, I have to think about my family.”

“I don’t want this life for me.”

“I have kids to raise.”

Barros places a hand on their shoulders and pronounces them free: “In the name of Jesus, you are officially unaffiliated.”

A very practical illustration of… baptism. Not salvation. Baptism is the public announcement of devotion to God, the bridge-burning, the public declaration of repentance and acceptance of a new Master for life.

It’s hard for those who were baptized at a young age to appreciate that without seeing this level of life-changing repentance. Imagine that, the Third World Church has something to teach the First World Church. And I don’t mean African expressions of love.

Barros estimates he has saved 500 men through social media conversions since he began posting them in 2014. In the past year, the pace of killing in Acre has slowed. Violent deaths in the state fell 22 percent from 2017 to 2018, government figures show.

While the conversion videos appear to protect the converts, it’s unclear how much impact they’ve had on the larger homicide rate. Acre’s state government has strengthened its police, invested in new technology and increased prison inspections.

To nonbelievers, the video conversions might smack of compulsory spirituality. But for those who fear death at the hands of rival gangs, the choice is clear. Inside prisons, where Barros and other pastors film weekly, converts are stacking up.

Gomes, the prison official, said “the result is visible.”

Visible results are less important than priests who act like God is real. They aren’t offering Christianity as a “get out of jail free” card, let alone a wellness gimmick.

To keep religious inmates at the Francisco d’Oliveira Conde prison safe during unrest, guards confined them to a separate cell. But they’re converting at such a pace that the state is now constructing a new building to house them all.

Interesting that Christians are still singled out for persecution even when they’re literally on record as being out for good.

Of course, conversion by video is no guarantee that a gang member will stay straight. But converts who return to their gangs face serious danger.

Lucas Cunha, 18, was at work when a rival gang broke into his house. Worried they would eventually find and kill him, he called Barros and asked him to record a video.

When his attackers saw it, they dropped their pursuit. But they monitored him for months, checking to see if he was going to church or had contact with his former leaders.

“If I do anything wrong, they will kill me,” Cunha said. “I have to take the video seriously. They don’t tolerate regressions.”

Viera, 23, managed to escape both Comando Vermelho . the Red Command . and his own gang, Bonde dos 13. He’s staying at a rehabilitation center run by Barros’s church while looking for a place to live.

Resources for men in need? Not just wimminz and chillldrenz?

Barros says vouching for the converts can put him in danger. His home on the outskirts of Rio Branco is ringed by surveillance cameras. Barking dogs announce anyone who passes too closely to the gate.

He estimates that 5 percent of them slide back into crime. So he keeps a close watch on new converts. If he catches wind that one is back in the game, he informs gang leaders . to protect the integrity of the conversions.

Barros learned this month that Francisco Marinaldo, a former member of Comando Vermelho, had resumed using drugs. He tried to coax Marinaldo back to the church, he says, but was rebuffed.

Before Barros had a chance to let gang leaders know, he says, Marinaldo was stabbed to death.

Barros tried to help when Marinaldo backslid. That’s huge. It shouldn’t be but my expectations are that low.

On a recent afternoon in a shantytown outside Rio Branco, Marcos Adriano considered his options.

Caption: Marcos Adriano [on right] records a video conversion with the Rev. Arnaldo Barros. (Washington Post photo by Marina Lopes)

The 25-year-old had spent nearly half his life behind bars. He began selling marijuana when he was 7 and worked his way up to trafficking cocaine from Colombia to Brazil for Comando Vermelho. And then there were the killings . 22, he says, by the time he went to prison in 2008.

When he got out last year, he decided to convert in a video with Barros. Then he slowly got his life together. He found a job and tried to make new friends. But the $12 a day he made working at a local bakery paled in comparison to the $1,000 he said he sometimes brought home dealing drugs.

I got lots of respect for a guy who loves God enough to make that sacrifice.

He says he went back to the drug trade a few months ago.

Sigh. Well, trying is good too. In fact, in Christianity trying is everything.

When Barros stopped by his house to check on him…

Again, a priest who simply gives a damn. I’m really not that hard to impress. When I stopped attending a church, every single time, there was no followup. A couple pastors did make the time to meet once privately with me, I give them their due.

Adriano admitted he had rejoined a gang. But now he was having second thoughts.

“I want to go back to the church,” he said. “Too many people are dying. My chest isn’t made of steel.”

He pointed to his bullet wounds . fleshy craters bulging from his neck, abdomen and legs.

And so Adriano steadied himself in front of Barros’ phone, looked into the camera and took a deep breath. For the second time, he announced his name, nickname and his gang.

But when Barros finished recording, Adriano stopped him.

“Don’t send it just yet,” he said. “I’ll let you know when to post it.”

Adriano is not long for this world if he continues like that but if he hasn’t given up on God, then God hasn’t given up on him.

Getting saved is easy. Working out one’s salvation is a lifetime of hard effort, even for Christians in worldly luxury. They face poverty and the drug trade, we face temptations and the treachery of purported allies. There is not one Christian, anywhere in the world, who does not endure hardship for following Christ.

Sure would be nice if somebody helped us out during the low points. But that’s ugly, dirty, thankless work.

The clergyman I value is the one who lives that. He doesn’t have to save murderers from a life in the drug trade. He has to give a care about his fellow man, practice the sacraments of the Church (particularly repentance and baptism, and not as empty rituals) and be a symbol of Christ to the world. Reverend Arnaldo Barros, you do the work of God.

Rent-seeking, in economic and public-choice theory, refers to attempting to increase one’s share of current wealth without producing or creating any additional wealth according to

What is rent-seeking? Definition and meaning

They also helpfully provided this excerpt:

Rent-seeking comes in many forms, including barriers to entry like onerous licenses, having to belong to a particular trade union in order to work in a trade, imposing tariffs, and corruption in government. In all cases, no additional wealth for the nation, sector or society is created. …

If you need to get a time-consuming, expensive, and extremely hard-to-acquire license to become a taxi driver, there will be fewer competitors in that market. If fewer competitors are permitted to operate within that sector, it means that each player gets a bigger slice of the wealth pie.

And now, today’s new low for the Church in North America: people are getting online ordinations in order to perform weddings for family and friends. Clergy are so outraged by this loss of revenue that they successfully lobbied the state of Tennessee to ban online ordination… and accidentally let their mask slip.

By the Power Vested in Me by God Or the Internet: The Fight Over Online Ordinations

After a religious freedom lawsuit, a federal judge this week blocked Tennessee’s new ban on online ordination for wedding officiants, citing “serious constitutional issues..

The Universal Life Church Monastery.a top destination for giving friends and family credentials to perform ceremonies.had sued the Volunteer State over the policy, which it said “grants a preference to certain religions” and “burdens its members” free exercise of religion..

Segue to Wikipedia,

The Universal Life Church Monastery is a non-denominational interfaith ministry that is primarily known for its online ordination program, which allows individuals to preside over weddings, baptisms, and funerals across the United States depending on state and county laws.

Universal Life Church Monastery’s mantra is “We are all children of the same universe.” It also has two core tenets:

Do only that which is right.

Every individual is free to practice their religion in the manner of their choosing, as mandated by the First Amendment, so long as that expression does not impinge upon the rights or freedoms of others and is in accordance with the government’s laws.

The monastery’s stated mission is to ordain anyone regardless of their spiritual or religious denomination. It does not have a physical building that serves as a house of worship, and conducts ordination through its website. According to the church, ordination allows its ministers to perform marriages, funerals, baptisms, and exorcisms.

Heehee. BWAHAHA! A perfect black knighting of the seminary-industrial complex! Troll 10/10 because at least three state governments have tried to ban them for undercutting the local clergy’s monopolies on ceremonies! (Pennsylvania and Virginia being the other two that I know of.)

I am seriously thinking about getting ordained by them. Ordinating organizations are all hypocrites these days anyway. Might as well hit up the cheap one!

Fuller Seminary: [Our] practice-oriented Doctor of Ministry (DMin) program forms ministry leaders to be reflective and nimble to change. It will stretch you theologically and challenge you with new models of ministry for an ever-changing world. (actual statement)

Universal Life Church: Forty bucks.

Controversial online ordination surges in popularity

https://www.dailyemerald.com/news/controversial-online-ordination-surges-in-popularity/article_b3fffb87-5326-5db8-b062-b4a1e4e26fff.html

By Daily Emerald, 10 May 2011

When Justin Pratt was asked by his friends to officiate their wedding during the winter break, he already knew what his answer was and knew just what to do.

Pratt immediately went online and typed “free online ordination” into Google and found Universal Life Church Monastery, an online church whose website touts its sole mission is to provide ordinations to anyone, .regardless of your spiritual or religious denomination.” With just a few clicks of a mouse and by entering in a few pieces of personal information, Pratt was almost instantaneously an ordained minister.

.I was surprised at how fast the whole process took, but I shouldn’t have been, because we live in a pretty fast-paced world where you can do pretty much anything online,. said Pratt, a University junior journalism major. .I kind of figured that there was going to be more to it . it just asked me to put in my name and address and pay the fee, and that was about it..

I found a Rev. Justin Pratt, currently senior pastor of a Baptist church, but not the same guy.

According to the Universal Life Church, Pratt isn’t alone, and he represents a controversial growing trend of people turning to online ordination to officiate weddings and preside over baptisms and funerals . a move lauded by religious freedom advocates and castigated by theologians.

The Universal Life Church neither holds religious Sunday services, nor has a physical building that serves as its house of worship. In fact, church spokesperson Andy Fulton said the original Modesto, Calif., church that was founded in 1959 no longer exists.

ULC is now located in Seattle and that’s just doubling down on the meme.

Rather, Fulton said the main mission of the church is carried on through its website. Even before the online ordination became the newest fad next to miniskirts and sweater vests, the Universal Life Church had already provided nearly 18 million ordination certificates worldwide between 1962 and 2009, and that number has grown to nearly 20 million in 2011, according to the church’s website. In fact, it touts 114 University students alone as ordained ministers.

On the church’s website, ordained ministers can pay anywhere between $13.99 to $139.99 to purchase a variety of products and services, including receiving a religious title, doctor of divinity certificate, doctor of metaphysics certificate, master of Wicca certificate, .ordination package. and a .ministry-in-a-box..

A new definition of “Crossfit”!

.We are a church, but the purpose of our church is to ordain people so that they can perform these wedding ceremonies,. Fulton said. .What we do is perfectly legal; we’re a service organization, if you think about it. People hear the word “church” and they expect a brick-and-mortar church with a pastor or priest, but when you look at the Universal Life Church Monastery, you have to look past that model..

However, not everyone is supportive of online ordination. John Holbert, the Lois Craddock Perkins professor of homiletics at Southern Methodist University, said he finds online ordinations to be “absurd” and correlates its popularity to the secularization of modern-day.

.I believe that ministry is a learned profession that means that you don’t imagine yourself one day to be loved by God, and then go out and do it,. Holbert said. .I think it’s a kind of sign that the culture is becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the traditional understandings of church and clergy..

Holbert disagrees with exactly what Jesus and the Twelve Disciples did.

Nevertheless, Holbert said he understands why this shift in society’s perception is occurring when he considers the numerous scandals many religious institutions have faced in recent years.

.I think the online thing has become a kind of outlet and a kind of revolt or rebellion, really, against the traditional church,. Holbert said. .I don’t defend it at all, and I frankly think it’s a mockery of traditional ordination, but at the same time, I’m not surprised that it’s happening..

Because Holbert himself is a mockery of traditional Protestantism. “You can’t just pick up your Bible and do God’s will! You have to be ordained by the Real Church(tm)!”

“But my behavior is compatible with State guidelines on church behavior!”

“We’ll see about that!” *Lobbies Tennessee to ban the competition.*

Fulton defended the Universal Life Church’s actions by saying the organization’s sole purpose is to ordain people to conduct wedding ceremonies, rather than grant people the religious authority to start their own congregations.

.If people that we ordained wanted to go out (and) form their own churches or their own congregations, then that would be a little sensitive and a little suspect, but 99.9 to the umpteenth degree percent of the people that we ordain are ordained so they can perform wedding ceremonies . they don’t go out to start churches,. Fulton said. .I feel like anyone who criticizes the Universal Life Church Monastery or criticizes online ordination doesn’t really know the whole deal behind it..

Fulton is lying, too, or those bits about performing baptisms and exorcisms are very new products in his catalog. That makes him a peer of Holbert. I am reminded of one of my favorite Bible verses:

The two kings, with their hearts bent on evil, will sit at the same table and lie to each other, but to no avail, because an end will still come at the appointed time. Daniel 11:27

It’s not a theologically important verse but the mental image never gets old.

End this long segue.

The [no-online-ordination] law was set to go into effect July 1, but federal judge Waverly Crenshaw decided on Wednesday to allow weddings conducted by online-ordained celebrants to resume until a trial later this year. Officials argued the policy was designed to ensure officiants were responsible enough to perform their duties on behalf of the state.

THEY SAID IT! THEY SAID IT! They said the truth but only for the love of money!

Unlike most denominations, churches, and religious organizations, nonprofits like the Universal Life Church and American Marriage Ministries exist primarily to ordain the growing number of friends and family members tapped to officiate weddings. Recent surveys show between a quarter and half of US ceremonies are now performed by loved ones rather than traditional ministers.

How has this statistic not pinged my radar yet? No wonder the rentseekers are dropping Benjamins on lobbyists.

While Tennessee lawmakers see pastors and religious clergy as beyond the scope of the ban.since they already meet the legal standard of .a considered, deliberate, and responsible act. for ordination.the law could become an issue if churches begin to offer “online ordination as the culmination of online theological training,. according to Jennifer Hawks, associate general counsel at the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty.

.For now, if the law is upheld, most ordaining organizations will continue to ordain their leaders as they have always done,. she said. .Only those religious groups which do not include an in-person component for their ordinations would have to make changes in order to satisfy the requirements that must be met for private citizens to perform this state function..

By similar logic, persons shouldn’t be allowed to use their private vehicle for a taxi business. Classic rent-seeking.

In the US, weddings represent a unique intersection of church and state. The government licenses marriages, in part, to codify the legal benefits and protections afforded to married couples. More than a decade ago, CT reported how Pennsylvania barred online ordination for wedding celebrants, requiring religious officials lead to a “regularly established church or congregation” to qualify. Virginia has similar requirements, asking that religious officiants provide evidence of their role at a gathered congregation and that they are in good standing with their denomination.

Yep. Classic. It doesn’t matter if you know God’s will and are responsible for it! You must by paid by a group of chumps in a wooden box to do Caesar’s God’s will! Actually, I did mean Caesar because Caesar now agrees with me. So, ha!

Same-sex marriage? Frivorce? No, the REAL marriage crisis is that officiating State representatives aren’t backed by ‘traditional’ denominations.

But after state and county procedures have long straddled the civil and religious functions of the ceremony, fewer Americans care about the latter, leading to the rise of nontraditional and secular celebrants.

Some Christian leaders have questioned whether the church should be a part of the civil ceremony at all, particularly as same-sex marriage became legal. About a quarter of pastors and a third of Americans said clergy should no longer be involved in state marriage licensing in a 2014 LifeWay Research poll.

.The argument for allowing ministers to solemnize wedding with civil effect is basically an argument of accommodating the wishes and the convenience of the couple. Many people will want their wedding performed by a minister, by a clergy person, and why make them go through a separate ceremony?. said Thomas Berg, law professor and religious freedom expert at University of St. Thomas School of Law in Minnesota.

.If the issue is accommodating the religious desires of the couple, allowing the couple to have that single ceremony, then it does not suggest that the state has a very strong interest in regulating the quality of the minister performing it,. he said in response to Tennessee’s law. .A friend may be more meaningful than anyone else..

It’s not often that one can cite Elvis Impersonators for judicial precedent, but it’s totally in keeping with the shameless farce that American Christianity has become.

For years, even couples that weren’t active in their faith would refer to their local church when it was time for weddings or funerals. Pastors report that the availability of online ordination and private wedding venues decreased demand for those services.

Plus, many active Christians themselves are drawn to these options; only around 1 in 5 US weddings now takes place in a church, according to a survey by the popular wedding website The Knot. In almost every aspect of the wedding, people are less tied to tradition and ritual, instead preferring the kind of personalization showcased on Pinterest and Instagram, The Atlantic reported recently.

.The trends tell us that couples are not turning to the church to provide “marrying” and “burying” services. When was the last time you attended a wedding in a church sanctuary?. said Byron Weathersbee, co-founder of Legacy Family Ministries and co-author of To Have and To Hold and Before Forever. .Many churches are thankful to be out of the wedding business. In my opinion, this ends up costing them the relational capital to connect that newly married couple with the church..

Relational capital, hell. Show me the money!

.What we’re seeing in this trend [of online ordination] is a symptom of the shift away from the importance of the local church. On one hand, it’s meaningful to have a friend or family member perform the ceremony because they know us well. But historically, marriage in the church has been just that.in the church,. said Catherine Parks, author of A Christ-Centered Wedding. .We submit to one another as members of a community of faith, and we need those people.pastors, elders, fellow church members.to encourage and hold us accountable in our marriages from the moment they begin..

A female teacher of Christianity… calls for increased accountability in the Church… for the sake of one’s “community of faith”. Welcome to the Table of Two Lying Kings, Catherine. You’ll fit right in.

Scott Kedersha, who directs the marriage and newly married ministries at Watermark Community Church in Dallas, stresses the importance of couples choosing officiants that “communicate a biblical, Christ-centered view of the gospel and marriage,. whether they are a pastor, small group leader, college roommate, or best friend.

.At Watermark Community Church, we look for ways to partner with friends and family as they officiate weddings. We train and equip lay leaders to lead the ceremony well and we don’t change or lower our expectations for lay leaders to officiate weddings,. said Kedersha, author of Ready or Knot?.

While young couples may not be involved enough in a church to feel personally connected to a pastor, .candidly, as long as the gospel is proclaimed and God is honored through the relationship and ceremony, then we can still celebrate the marriage,. he said.

Scott gets it. What’s important in a Christian leader is not proper credentialism, it’s honoring God though relationship and ceremony. We judge the tree by its fruit, not its pedigree. Bonus points for simply using the phrase “we train and equip lay leaders”. Involving the little people in the Church has never been so rarely practiced, and though no coincidence at all, the little people have never been so aware that their leaders are rent-seeking betrayers of their trust acting in collusion with State government to protect an illegal monopoly on the work of God.

The pear-shaped face, denoting a personality that trusts others while demanding trust in return. Lower third is obviously the biggest, indicating practicality, and with both chin & jaw large enough to be assertive about his opinions. The low brow is impulsive. Eyebrows are thick on the inside so visionary rather than managerial. Small ears means he listens mostly to himself.

A very wide nose & nostrils is a good indicator for family life. (He has four sons and no daughters.)

A highly arched/rounded hairline like his is associated with a face shape that is very indifferent to social status. If invited to the party, he’ll have fun and be welcome, but if he’s not invited to the party then he’ll barely notice.

An excellent face for combining independent thoughts with confident actions.

And a thank-you to Federal judge Waverly Crenshaw for upholding an obvious case of religious freedom.

On the left. Whoa, not a face I was expecting. Appointed by Obama, no less. New Moon eyes and protruding ears are signs of deceit and nonconformity. Managerial eyebrows in contrast to Scott’s visionary eyebrows. Pronounced gab lines running clear from jutting chin to the lower eyelid, he must be quite the talker.

Probably not good with money, to judge from extra-wide nostrils (generosity) and bulbous nose tip (financial focus). The middle third of his face is clearly the smallest, which means he is not obsessed with social status/ambition, which is very good for a judge… and rare for a judge of his level, so perhaps nose-indicating greed outweighed face-indicating lack of ambition.

But he ruled right in this case and there’s no arguing with documented actions.

The Fourth of July Earthquake was 6.4 located in probably the closest still-remote spot to Los Angeles possible.

There’s an entire fault zone at that location and even in this pic, you can see the main fault line running southwest-to-east across the geography below the red dot. It’s not the San Andreas, however.

This incident covered by Heavy shouldn’t be noteworthy, except it’s probably the last time my generation will ever see it happen. A Methodist church matron shames a skanky teen for being a foul-mouthed fat slob in church! Film at the bottom.

Of course, she was swiftly thrown to the wolves by Pastor Save-A-Ho.

htt ps://heavy.com/social/2019/07/church-leader-jean-shorts-video/

A video of a church leader who followed a girl into the bathroom to tell her she was “too fat to wear shorts” and shouldn’t sing in front of the pews has gone viral after the tearful young lady uploaded the video to Twitter.

The incident was recorded by Twitter user Jenna, who wrote: .This woman followed me into the bathroom and attacked me calling me fat and that I couldn’t wear jean shorts because I was too fat.” You can watch the video below, but be warned that there is some harsh language involved.

Yes, somebody was a potty mouth. Guess which one of the above pics.

It’s a sign of the times that I had a brief, knee-jerk reaction to the first paragraph. I know why a man would follow a teenage girl into the bathroom… because bathrooms deserve to be free and gender-neutral and “Fruity Tony” Epstein is a Sensitive New Age Guy who can be trusted around exposed teenagers… but why would a woman follow a girl into the ladies’ room?

To correct her behavior in private as outlined in Scripture, a protection that Turd World Barbie instantly did away with by pulling out her slutphone for reverse-shaming.

The clip starts with the woman in red, whose name tag reads “Bonnie Sue,. talking about another churchgoer. .She’s a chubby girl. She’s got a dress on that’s appropriate. It comes to the top of her knees..

Wow. I didn’t think there were any modesty-enforcing women left in the church. This wasn’t about Jenna being fat, it was about modesty while publicly singing in church. Take notes, ladies! You don’t have to become a single mother in Uganda to do the work of God.

Jenna, who is sobbing while the woman confronts her, responds “so you’re calling me fat?. The woman puts her hands on her hips and replies: “Oh” You don’t think you are?.

.No,. Jenna responds angrily. “Because I f.king love who I am. Get the f.k out of my face..

I like to think that if Bonnie Sue hadn’t chosen to do this conversation in private, this is the point at which Billy Joe would have torn Jenny a new chin.

The woman tells her that she .doesn.t have to. get out of her face, and says .Don’t swear at my like that again.” She also tells her not to come back on stage wearing the jean shorts. .I.m warning you,. she threatens Jenna.

Jenna replies “Who are you? Who are you to tell me what I’m supposed to do? No. Get the f.k out of my face. Get out. I am 19-years-old and I can do whatever I want..

She performs on stage AND in the powder room!

.Really? Try it,. The woman responds. As she walks away, Jenna follows her back out of the bathroom while telling her that she “recorded the whole thing” and was going to tell her parents.

.I will never come back to this church because of how much you are disrespectful. You are so disrespectful..

Don’t let the door slam shut on your asses, Jenny. SJWs like you don’t belong in God’s home anyway.

The video has been viewed over a million times since it was uploaded on June 30 and has nearly 50 thousand retweets, with that number still rising. Jenna went on to post pictures of what she was wearing, which can be viewed above; the outfit consists of a long-sleeved red shirt and a pair of plain jean shorts. Her shirt reads .Agape: God’s unconditional and unending love..

Sweet Satanic irony!

Jenna also explained that Bonnie was actually a church leader who “speaks on behalf of our church at different conferences” and that she was telling other church-goers that it was Jenna’s fault that she would never be allowed back on stage to sing at the church again.

It’s just as well. “Like A Virgin” wasn’t meant to be a Christian hymn, Jenna.

Large upper eyelids denotes high emotional tendencies. Frizzy hair for disorderly thoughts. Combined with thin lips for emotional expression, this combination in women suggests borderline personality/emotional vampirism. Her choice of angled eyebrows (they look artificial) indicating conflict-seeking doesn’t help.

Uneven eyebrows, according to one source, indicate childhood abandonment issues but it doesn’t play out in the attached video.

.My pastor said that she will never be able to be on nay [sic] sort of committee/any leadership role in our church ever again,. Jenna added. .I.m absolutely astonished that someone can have this much hate in their heart..

Yep. Pastor cucked hard and fast, issuing this statement:

July 2, 2019

Dear Friends of Swansboro United Methodist Church and the surrounding community,

One of the main principles of Christianity and Methodists in particular is to “do no harm”.

It has come to my attention that great harm has been done in an incident that occurred this past Sunday where a faithful and very gifted young lady and worship leader was body shamed for her appearance.

We are shocked and saddened by this act. The church is supposed to be a place of safety, love and acceptance.

We are focused on caring for everyone involved in this incident and their families. Our goal is to provide the emotional and spiritual support they need to cope with the spiritual woundedness and also make sure that a just resolution takes place.

We are currently working to assure that nothing like this will ever happen again and will update the church on specific next steps we are taking soon.

The worth, dignity and safety of all who are reached by our ministry is our priority and will remain our sacred trust and duty.

Grace and Peace,

[signed] G. Kevin Baker

I thought it was California that legalized weed, not North Carolina. What recreational drug is Kevin smoking, to think that a main principle of Christianity is NOT TO HARM PEOPLE’S SELF-IMAGE? What part of “you need a Savior because you deserve Eternal Hell” is supposed to help people feel good about themselves?

She continued: I’m honestly shocked and upset that this happened at church.I should feel accepted and loved and now I don’t want to go back to that church. I love singing in the contemporary band with my friends and being up onstage and praising God with other people..

But more than singing with your friends, Jenna, you love to dress like a fat slob. That’s who you want to be so I’m forced to admit, your choice is appropriate. Much more so than Pastor Baker’s choice to encourage you in your shameless rebellion against feminine behavior.

Speaking of, what did Pastor Baker mean by “We are currently working to assure that nothing like this will ever happen again and will update the church on specific next steps we are taking soon”?

.My pastor said that she will never be able to be on nay [sic] sort of committee/any leadership role in our church ever again,. Jenna added. .I.m absolutely astonished that someone can have this much hate in their heart..

And another church dies, having kicked out the righteous for upsetting the tender feelings of rebellious Eve and White Knight Adam.

Here’s the video. The original was embedded in Jenna’s twitter feed and I couldn’t archive it, so here’s the next best I could find.

To close, you probably wonder how Bonnie Sue was able to survive this long in a notoriously Converged denomination like the Methodists. This incident happened on June 30, 2019 and Pastor Baker’s letter was dated July 2… But Baker has only been Pastor at Swanesboro UMC since June 26 per this link.

A Reichstag fire?

Quillette journalist Andy Ngo being attacked at the latest Portland Antifa rally made me suspicious from the story’s breaking. For starters, he’s a journalist and he put himself in danger. I can respect a guy taking risks as part of his job but pardon me for not being outraged if the Law of Averages kicks in. Especially for journalists, who have done more than any other group to incite exactly these situations. You wanted Socialism unchained from Christian notions of morality and you got it; don’t cry to me because you didn’t know, despite all precedent and recorded history, that Godless morality plays take the form of backstabbings.

Then Ngo swiftly achieved victim status, which is something never granted to any potential ally of mine.

And now, to my total lack of surprise, I learn that Ngo is an out-and-proud homosexual. One faction of Socialists beat up on a different faction.

Sic semper, all ye Godless. You deserve each other.

If You Don’t Stand Up for Andy Ngo, You Could Be Next

By Jim Treacher, 1 July 2019

Last week, James Fields got life in prison for the 2017 murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville. As far as I’m concerned, he got off light. Considering he committed his crime in a death-penalty state, he should consider himself lucky that he gets to live out the rest of his life on the taxpayer’s dime. I would’ve sentenced him to the needle, but I guess that’s because I’m a fascist.

As far as I’m concerned, Fields was railroaded, forced to try for an insanity plea because he apparently wasn’t allowed to present this in his defense: assistant professor and Antifa member Dwayne Dixon admitting on camera that Fields rammed the crowd immediately after Dixon pointed a rifle at him.

hat tip to https://bigleaguepolitics.com/watch-leftist-professor-dwayne-dixon-brags-class-waved-rifle-charlottesville-driver-crash/

I don’t know a lot about Heyer’s political views, but I know she didn’t deserve to be hurt or killed for them. Most Americans would agree, or at least I hope so. But a lot of the same people who were rightly outraged by Heyer’s murder are now celebrating another act of political violence.

Deserve’s got nothing to do with it, although if we Patriarchy Rapists had had our way, she would have been painting toenails with girlfriends while watching her kids play instead of chanting slogans in a crowded alley.

This weekend there was yet another Antifa protest in Portland, against whoever those idiots think they’re protesting against, and there was yet more violence. This time the victim was journalist Andy Ngo. Ngo has been reporting on Antifa’s activities for several years, and they’ve repeatedly harassed and threatened him. But nothing like this….

An organization with a reputation for violence, that repeatedly threatened and harassed Ngo specifically, finally made good on their threats when he walked alone near a crowd of them wearing masks with no police around while carrying expensive camera equipment. The only news story… is that this is a news story.

Ngo forgot the three rules of safely attending an Antifa rally in a liberal stronghold:

1. Do not attend the rally.

2. Wear a motorcycle helmet, or at least a hard hat. Even though your brain is faulty enough to ignore Rule 1, it’s the only brain you got.

3. When the police walk away, it’s time for you to walk away, too, immediately and in the same direction. Don’t hesitate just because you got a sudden feeling that something interesting is about to happen.

What you just saw was a pack of privileged white dudes in masks beating up a smaller guy who’s a minority (Ngo is Vietnamese-American) and a member of the LGBTQ community (he’s gay).

Those damn white Nazis, always dressing like Antifa! News flash, Portland is sufficiently demographic-white… and generally privileged… that “privileged white dudes” is like calling a resident of Port-Au-Prince Rastafarian.

These cowards punched him and threw things at him in the middle of the street, in broad daylight, because they knew the cops wouldn’t stop them. [GQ: Rule 3] It might as well be Alabama in the ’50s. The only difference between Antifa and the Klan is fashion.

I thought PJ media was a mainstream-conservative media outlet. Guess not, but does this guy suspect how many of his readers think of ’50s Alabama as the good old days? More every day.

Before that, Ngo was the target of the utterly depressing, infuriating phenomenon known as “milkshaking”. [GQ: Rule 2] Apparently, in liquid form this cement can cause severe chemical burns because of the quicklime in it. If this is true, then this was basically an acid attack.

I get my hands dirty with cement enough to doubt that. As reported to/by law enforcement, Antifa uses cement, raw eggs and various corrosive fluids in its “milkshakes”. So, it’s not the cement specifically but it does qualify as an acid attack. The cement probably just makes it hard to wipe off.

And even if it was just a regular syrupy semi-frozen drink, this demonstrates why milkshaking isn’t just harmless fun to humiliate your enemies. Ngo got milkshaked twice as he was livestreaming:

But it didn’t stop him from recording what was happening. It didn’t make him do what they wanted. So they escalated. It’s broken windows theory: If you allow people to push the boundaries of acceptable behavior, they’re not going to stop with relatively minor offenses. If they see that they can get away with something small, they’ll try to get away with something bigger. Lawlessness encourages greater lawlessness.

This author being a Leftie, he’s got no clue what “acceptable behavior” is. That’s why Godlessness always results in violent anarchy, because you can’t have an impartial standard of behavior without an impartial source of standards.

And on top of the attack itself, now Ngo is dealing with all the alleged “journalists” who are mocking and/or dismissing it. They hate Ngo because he wrote some stories they didn’t like, or he expressed some opinions they think are bad.

I would totally care about Ngo & friends being hated if the homo community hadn’t first hated me for Christianity. I don’t fault them for it, the wicked will always hate Christ, but I get the giggles when their own turn comes.

They say he should’ve known that Antifa, who are considered the good guys by lefty journos, are feral savages and would turn on him.

Yes. Absolutely. No excuses.

They say the gay, 5’5″ Asian guy tricked those black-clad heroes into putting him in the hospital because he wanted attention.

I wouldn’t be surprised, not since Jussie Smollett. Truth became less important than winning, now we look for lies at every turn. Kind of like how gender became opinion instead of biological fact, and now gender reassignment surgeries are being forced on little kids.

This attack reminds me of Eric Clanton, the anarchist and community-college professor who was caught on film at a protest in April 2017 hitting a guy over the head with a bike lock. He was identified even though he was masked up. When everybody is recording every second of these protests and putting it up on the Internet, it’s a lot tougher to hide your identity while you’re breaking the law. Guess what, geniuses? You’re not Batman.

I don’t see the parallel. Remember Eric Clanton’s victim? The one who became a brief media celebrity within hours of the attack? *crickets*

That we even know Ngo’s name this early is proof he has defenders inside the Narrative.

Political violence is wrong, whether it’s committed by Antifa, or the Proud Boys, or the Daughters of the American Revolution, or whoever loses their minds next.

Only one of those three commits ANY political violence. Even when the author complains about Leftist brutality, he dares not notice that Leftism is the source of Leftist brutality.

Daughters of the American Revolution? Seriously?!

As Richard Fernandez notes, this isn’t going to stop with Andy Ngo. It’s only going to escalate. Once you normalize milkshaking, and spitting on people in restaurants, and standing outside a guy’s house with a bullhorn because he said something on TV that hurt your feelings, that’s not going to be enough anymore. Anyone who refuses to submit, refuses to do what he’s told, will be fair game.

Us Heritage Americans are exactly the wrong people to say that to, Chuckles. Welcome to our world. Your friends have been treating us like that for many years. We were the innocents they practiced on to refine their methods. Now it’s your butt-buddy’s turn to get doxxed and robbed and beaten? I’m gonna order myself a milkshake and laugh myself sick at you being outraged that Leftism, like your friend, swings both ways.

We should all be as lucky as Andy Ngo, to live in the exact world we demand.

Not in the verdant hills of Appalachia, nor on a dusty reservation in the Dakotas, nor in modern, culturally diverse Europe, but in Uganda, an eastern African nation embracing the shores of Lake Victoria, once torn by strife and disparate tribal allegiances, once ruled by a cruel and rapacious dictator, Idi Amin, but now a growing source of strength and hope for its people.

Renee Bach, whose family attends Radford Baptist Church in Moneta, founded Serving His Children in 2009, setting out for Uganda to follow what she said was God’s call for her life. Bach, the executive director of the organization, lives in Masese, a village just outside Jinja, the nation’s second most populous town, with her adopted daughter, Selah Grace.

That’s the first red flag, when a Christian cares more about foreigners on the far side of the planet than his next-door neighbor. And Renee was 18 years old when she first went to Africa in God’s Name.

Radford Baptist is loosely affiliated with the SBC. Per the leadership page,

https://www.radfordbaptist.com/about_us

…the only church leader not posing with his wife is the childrens’ director. Things that make you go ‘hmm’, but the physiognomies aren’t noteworthy. I’m surprised none of them are black; one wonders where Renee got the idea to bang serve Uganda. Per the related missions page, they farm most of their missions work out to the SBC, which is standard practice for a small church, but they also have Renee’s organization (we’ll get to that) and a partnership with something more local, the Agape Center.

Per their June 2019 newsletter, Agape is a fairly typical Churchian charity, focused mainly on providing food and supplies for the needy in partnership with the government. Overrun with middle-aged women, natch.

I don’t mind the Churchians providing thrift stores and related assistance. I do mind that they conflate the Gospel with such efforts. We do good in order to honor Christ, not the other way around. An implication of this philosophy is that Christian charities should never partner with State charity. We have one master, not two.

You can’t take the king’s shilling without becoming the king’s soldier.

Something that caught my eye on Radford Baptist Church’s missions page is a link to the books of John Piper. Wondering if he wrote something about Uganda, I checked up on his writings. Suffice for now, that the reason Renee moved to Uganda to underwrite their Prosperity Gospel is most likely because she was raised on John Piper.

During her initial stay in Uganda in 2007, Bach helped start a temporary feeding program in the slum community of Masese, [GQ: the outskirts of the largest town on Lake Victoria] where she was struck by the extreme poverty and hopelessness of the people, particularly, the children. When she returned to Uganda, Bach knew exactly where she would start, renting a house and started a feeding program at her home for 900 to 1,000 kids two days a week. Word quickly spread that there was help for those in need and the first malnourished child was brought to her door in August, 2009. She established a malnutrition treatment center after she started getting a continuous flow of referrals for treatment.

This is what happens when young women aren’t encouraged to get married and raise their own kids. Their care-based morality goes haywire. I suspect the abovementioned Agape Center underwrote her initial efforts.

The second oldest of five children growing up on the southside of Bedford County, Bach and her siblings were homeschooled, she noted through emails from Uganda. She graduated from high school in 2007, and shortly afterward, set out on her first mission trip to the east African nation at 18.

That was stupid. Her first “missionary service” of adulthood was unstable East Africa? At a minimum, one should work up to long-term, overseas, foreign-culture work.

Incidentally, this is why I don’t try to found a new, Red Pill church. I spent Father’s Day weekend camping at a gorgeous lake with everything from zip lines to waterslides… alone. I couldn’t get any friends or family to go with me even with six months’ notice. Neither are they taking any vacations of their own this year. If I can’t even evangelize friends on selfish hedonism then I’m not going to try evangelizing strangers on voluntary suffering.

When Renee went back in 2009, she did so as founder & operator of the charity Serving His Children.

Our mission is to break the cycle of malnutrition by restoring the life and health of the child by partnering with government health centers, empowering families with education and resources and helping communities develop sustainable solutions to malnutrition.

There is no Christ in that. As missionary work, it was a total waste of effort. Now to Heavy, which provided the framework for this post’s material:

htt ps://heavy.com/news/2019/06/renee-bach/

A Christian missionary is being sued in Ugandan court after two mothers accused her of pretending to be a doctor and accidentally killing their children. Renee Bach, 35, is the founder of Serving His Children (SHC), a nonprofit organization created to combat malnutrition in Uganda. The lawsuit alleges Bach killed hundreds of children by attempting to treat them without any medical training.

.I can’t rule out the fact that children died like they do die in any health facility. But still, it’s not true to say that I killed them,. Bach said in a comment read by Al Jazeera.

The lawsuit, brought about by two mothers whose children died while in the care of SHC, says that families were led to believe Bach was a medical doctor and that her house was a medical facility. The Women’s Probono Initiative, an organization that is representing the two mothers, issued a press release claiming Bach typically wore a white lab coat and stethoscope and was often seen providing medicine and medical treatment to children.

.It is unacceptable, narcissistic behaviour, for anyone, black or white, rich or poor, missionary or angel to pass off as a “medical practitioner” when they are not,. the Women’s Probono Initiative statement read.

The organization No White Saviors, has accused Bach providing children with medical treatment she learned by watching YouTube videos. The group claims that Bach took children from legitimate hospitals and medical centers for treatment at SHC and was very open about how much she enjoyed providing .hands-on medical care..

I think not a few American doctors do that too. But here, I can make a good guess what happened. Renee Bach went in to distribute freebies via her charity organization, was asked to provide medical help along with the supplies and her savior complex wouldn’t let her say no. Evidence:

Bach has adopted a Ugandan daughter, Selah Grace.

She ruined herself for marriage by becoming a single mother… and the child isn’t even hers! Tell me that’s not pathological altruism.

I don’t care about the lawsuit itself because it’s seeking damages. If she allegedly killed over 100 children by gross medical malpractice then it should be a death-sentence criminal trial, not a shakedown for more gimmiedat from a now-defunct charity.

Don’t feed the animals.

It’s the Ugandan Church’s job to feel the children of Uganda. If they need help then they can ask other churches. But this: an 18yo girl raised on “abandon your home to serve the World” departing for the heart of Africa to throw resources at social problems, this is not the work of God.

It’s the work of John Piper. Him specifically, and a rogue’s gallery of the usual Churchian suspects. Their Marxist heresies have twisted Christianity into not just Prosperity Gospel but a globalism that scorns the West. I knew Piper had gone bad but not this bad. Coming up is a excerpt of his most recent book linked to by the tiny Radford Baptist Church’s Missions webpage. (Available as a free download at the link.)

CROSS: Unrivaled Christ, Unstoppable Gospel, Unreached Peoples, Unending Joy

https://document.desiringgod.org/cross-en.pdf?ts=1446646952

By John Piper and David Mathis [GQ: a Piper disciple], general editors

Excerpted from section “Be A World Christian”.

There comes a moment in every movement of God when continuing to saturate one’s native people with the gospel is simply no longer enough. This is true of many in our day, who have enjoyed renewal in the fresh wave of gospel-centeredness and new depth in the soil of Reformed theology.

It’s one thing to claim it’s “not enough to care about your own people”. It’s another to throw your pearls to the swine, or in this specific case, a marriageable young woman to one of the worst places on Earth. The only surprise is she was the one doing the murdering this time.

But as the movement has grown and deepened and matured, we’ve increasingly felt the power of God’s words through Isaiah,

.It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.. (Isa. 49:6)

It.s not enough just to make more young, restless Reformed types among our already reached people.

What a sick joke. America is such a Christian place that abortion has metastasized into child genital mutilation in the name of LGBT.

It is “too light a thing,. as Isaiah would say, to see biblical substance and depth make a resurgence among conservative evangelicals. This vision of God is too big for a tribal deity. The God of the Scriptures is a God of the nations. The very message of such a big, gracious God is called into question if we are not soon turning to the nations.

Isaiah was prophesying that Christ’s salvation would eventually be open to non-Jews, not that John Piper would be awesome or America’s young women should abandon America’s sexually frustrated young men to be flung unprepared into the Dark Continent. Incidentally, Uganda reports as 85% Christian according to the Joshua Project, an organization cited elsewhere by Piper. They don’t need missionaries.

Of course, that’s 85% Prosperity Gospel Christianity… because the missionaries told the locals they’d get free stuff if they claimed Christ. We’ve done Africa more harm than good and should leave evangelizing Africa to African Christians. Not to self-righteous, globalist “Christian leaders” selling books to the gullible about how much God will love them for throwing their existing lives away.

“…perhaps the most moving turn to the nations came in Acts 13. There Paul and his companions came to Antioch in Pisidia, and as was his practice, Paul began by evangelizing the “reached” people of the day, his fellow Jews in the synagogue. After his first message, they wanted to hear more..the people begged that these things might be told them the next Sabbath. (Acts 13:42). But the mood changed the next week when “the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. (Acts 13:44).

See if you can put yourself in the setting as a Gentile. Jew and Gentile have gathered to hear this remarkable news brought to the Jewish people. These are “things into which angels long to look. (1 Pet. 1:12), and the Gentiles stand with the angels, looking in from the outside. What an amazing thing God has done for the Jews.

Nice cherrypicking, Piper. Paul showed up and everybody was thrilled to hear him! Everybody got saved just because Paul showed up! Yay! It was one of the few major evangelisms of “Pinata” Paul that didn’t end in a riot, stoning, arrest or murder conspiracy. He merely got kicked out of the city by jeering crowds… and shook the dust of the city off his sandals in disgust at their treatment of him.

It’s a headsick father who volunteers his barely-legal daughter for such a life and a headsick priest who thinks ‘Murica is so Christian that God’s Work now consists of planting African cargo cults with Western wealth.

In the chapters that follow, you will be summoned, again and again, to consider the missionary call to the unreached and unengaged. We expect that many of you reading this book already embrace this call, or have begun to sense it. But what follows in these
pages is not only for current and future missionaries, but for the whole church, because this Great Commission is a venture we share in together. Yes, there are two distinct callings, but there is one team, one Lord, one Great Commission. So we pray that God would use this book to solidify your current season in life, or to open new vistas on your next, and we invite you to “world Christianity..which is really the only Christianity.

A gentle reminder that per 1 Thess. 4, God’s general command for believers is to live quietly, earn your food and work an honest job. Overseas missionary work is entirely optional… certainly, not a fast track to divine approval.

Becoming a world Christian means that, wherever you live, you .consider all other citizenship a secondary matter. and “reorder your life around God’s global cause..

Perhaps he meant “world Citizen” instead of world Christian.

It means that even as you give yourself to making disciples on the tract of land to which you’ve been sent, you connect your efforts with the Global Cause, among peoples reached and unreached, and you pray and dream and give toward completing the task.
But becoming a world Christian not only leads to the resourcing and flourishing of ministries abroad; it also leads to vibrancy and fruit at home.

Yes, we have many vibrants and fruits at home. Thanks, Piper, and go to Hell.

“Becoming a world Christian cannot be an end in itself,. writes Don Carson. .The aim is not to become so international and culturally flexible that one does not fit in anywhere; the Beautiful Feet aim, rather, is to become so understanding and flexible that one can
soon fit in and further the gospel anywhere..

Linguistic barriers alone make that impossible. But it’s what Renee was raised to believe, and it’s what Renee did, and both Renee and Uganda would have been better off if her plane had crashed at sea.

My deadlines are finally done and not too soon, because Florida Man is back in the news! Red flag gun confiscation is the latest attempt to thwart the Second Amendment but to twist a saying, you can take the skank out of the trailer park but you can’t take the trailer park out of the skank.

htt ps://heavy.com/news/2019/06/courtney-irby/

Courtney Taylor Irby and husband Joseph Irby [of Lakeland, Florida] separated in December and were leaving a divorce hearing before Joseph’s arrest, LkldNow reported.

She had already gotten the house. Joseph was living in an apartment at the time of this.

According to a police affidavit obtained by the outlet, Courtney told officers that “after court the victim and the defendant engaged in a verbal altercation..

.The victim arrived to her vehicle and attempted to leave the courthouse,. police said. .The defendant followed behind her in his vehicle and began ramming his vehicle front bumper into the back of the victim’s rear bumper..

Polk County court records show that Courtney Irby filed for a domestic violence restraining order against her estranged husband in January 2019.

That and matching scratches on the bumpers got him arrested. So far, so good, but Courtney wasn’t satisfied.

Timeline:

December 2018, the couple filed for pre-divorce separation.

January 2018, Courtney files a domestic violence restraining order. Apparently not granted.

Between December 2018 and June 2019, Joseph loses access to his house and kids.

14 June 2019: Joseph follows Courtney to the camp their children are staying at, gets arrested for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Quote: During the arrest, he told the officer that Courtney was .a man hater and an asshole..

Nobody said he was wrong.

14-15 June 2019: Courtney files and is granted a domestic violence restraining order. A hearing for extending the DVRO is set for 28 June. And with that hot little paper in her hand…

Courtney Irby… gathered her estranged husband’s guns [from his apartment, that she had no lawful access to] and brought them to the Lakeland Police Department on June 15.

Irby told police that her husband, Joseph Irby, was in jail for trying to run her over with her car and had gathered his guns after a judge ordered him to turn them over.

.So are you telling me that you committed an armed burglary?. Lakeland Police Officer Brent Behrens asked Irby, according to the report. Behrens, who joined the Lakeland Police Department in April 2018, according to a department Facebook post, was the desk officer that night.

.Yes, I am, but he wasn’t going to turn them in, so I am doing it,. Irby replied.

LOL!

Officers called her husband, who was being held at Polk County Jail, and he told police that he wanted to press charges.

Irby was charged grand theft of a firearm and armed burglary.

Serves the dumbitch right. Look, Courtney, disarming him isn’t going to keep you safe if he’s already tried to run you over with a truck. Men don’t need guns to kill. What’s the State going to do, take away his guns, knives, vehicles, wires, pipes, saws, hammers, sticks, matches, glass panes, rocks, pillows and Happy Meal toys? Maybe instead of taking away his ability to inflict violence, you should have tried to take away his motivation by treating him nicer than breaking into his home.

“He wasn’t going to turn them in?” How does she know? He never got the chance.

Joseph also requested a restraining order against Courtney, accusing her of being .(volatile) and aggressive during divorce proceedings. and making false statements. He claimed that Courtney had “previously stolen a third firearm which is still in her possession. I didn’t report this gun as stolen because she has tried to portray me as the aggressor and I was advised that pursuing this would poorly reflect on me for “trying to get the gun back for aggressive reasons…

His request for a temporary injunction was denied but a hearing is set for June 28.

That’s not just twisting the knife. Her defense as described by Heavy is she was only carrying out a judge’s order. If she had one of his guns still in her possession after “turning them over” then that defense is sunk like the Bismarck.

The article has this to say about red flag legislation:

LPD spokeswoman Robin Tillett told the outlet that while the situation was .complicated,. Courtney had no right to enter her husband’s home.

Polk County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Brian Bruchey explained that there is no automatic enforcement mechanism to take guns away from people who have been ordered to hand them over as part of a pre-trial release.

.We really don’t have authority to take firearms from people unless they are surrendered or there is a court order,. Bruchey said. .We can’t do anything, unless they willfully do it . release them to us..

.Technically if the person does have firearms they are in violation of the injunction or pre-trial release but it’s one of those things . it’s kind of hard to enforce, really. You.d have to have somebody to say .I know exactly where they are. . and you.d have to get a search warrant for it. It’s one of those things you hope people do the right thing and surrender their guns,. Bruchey explained.

“It’s kind of hard to enforce”, yeah, I bet. That continues to be the major roadblock in forcibly disarming the innocent men of America: no gov’t agent is dumb enough to kick in the doors of armed men who don’t trust the State for many good reasons, not to mention the gov’t agents who quietly sympathize with us. Leftoids pass all the laws they can but nobody wants to be first in line for the T-shirt.

Florida Man! He’s not the hero America needs. He’s the hero America wants because unlike his ex-wife, entertainment deserves to be free!

Roosh V has reportedly accepted Christ, or at least, rekindled his youth’s Orthodox faith. I was hoping he would. Needless to say for anybody familiar with Roosh, the details are scandalous.

Infamous Pickup Artist RooshV Says He’s a Christian Now

Infamous Pickup Artist RooshV Says He’s a Christian Now

23 May 2019

He says he’s banning any discussions of premarital sex on his website.

Holy Spirit, Batman! I think he’s serious!

Daryush “Roosh” Valizadeh, one of the internet’s most infamous and noxious personalities, famous for his hate-filled polemics against women, says he’s a different person now. After years of writing about why women are intellectually inferior beings worth little more than what they can offer to a man sexually, Valizadeh.known as .RooshV..is laying some new ground rules for his blog and the topics that can be discussed on it.and if it’s legit, it’s going to be a very different place.

Yeah, and that was awesome. The Godless pickup artists discovered Original Sin independently of Scripture! Move over, Dead Sea Scrolls, for real! This is independent validation of the Bible from the most unlikely of sources.

God has chosen the fools of the world to mock the wise.

Valizadeh says that he .received a message while on mushrooms. and has re-committed to the Orthodox Church he was raised in. He says he took “the God pill., which seems to be a reference to the red pill and blue pill trope from The Matrix, which has more recently been memed by various fringe groups into a metaphor for “waking up” to the “real world..for example, being “redpilled” means accepting certain conspiratorial beliefs that most people refuse to believe. In Valizadeh’s new paradigm, the “God pill” seems to be a final stage in redpilling.

That’s a little unnerving… dare I say, unOrthodox *GQ ducks*… but I’ve heard of Arabs converting to Christ on the basis of dreams and visions. Just because God reaches white men best through reason and Scripture doesn’t mean that that’s how He does it with every ethnic group.

Roosh tweeted the following on 29 March 2019; it’s apparently been removed.

The path to God for modern man:

Blue pill: Ignorance, denial of nature

Red pill: Truth through materialism (muscles, women, money, status)

Black pill: Acceptance of one’s powerlessness, withdrawal from materialist society

God pill: Submission to God’s will

That’s how one would expect the atheist to come to Christ. Beginning in ignorance, he realizes that humans are fatally flawed, despairs of a materialist solution and turns to God simply by turning away from the devil.

We won’t be linking to RooshV.s website, since his professed transformation has not led to him taking down any of his disgusting articles with titles like “Women Must Have Their Behavior And Decisions Controlled By Men” and “Do Not Have Sex With Feminists..

Ooh, there’s a bitter feminist somewhere in the world today! There’s no reason he would delete those posts because they’re repeated in Scripture. Independent confirmation, as I said.

But the new rules on his message boards are going into effect on June 1. Among the new banned topics are things like “how to bang” and “Physical intimacy with women you’re not married to beyond the act of kissing.” There’s also now a ban on “pornographic and vulgar language. (he posts examples we can’t reprint here).

Repentance is an excellent sign.

Valizadeh concludes his new message by saying .I created this forum in 2008 to help men fornicate, so I don’t know if it’s possible to “retrofit” it for another purpose, but it’s worth a try. In the meanwhile, I will gradually lock threads that break these new rules if they become active..

During his career as a pickup artist, Valizadeh has argued against women’s right to vote, defended rape “on private grounds” and advised men on how to pressure women into sex (.No means no . until it means yes..). He has also bullied women for their weight, expressed anti-semitic sentiments and has ties to prominent white nationalists and the alt-right.

Being hated by the forces of Wokeness is another excellent sign.

Obviously, a change of heart would be very welcome for Valizadeh, and his online presence can only improve. Time will tell whether he follows through.

No author provided. I’m bummed. Had me $5 that said she weighs more than I do. Let’s read some more.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/daryush-valizadeh-the-pick-up-artist-known-as-roosh-says-he-has-found-god

In a recent post on his personal forum, where users come to brag about their conquests and share their best pickup lines, the blogger announced he was “coming out” as an Orthodox Christian. He said he was inspired by the death of his sister, the decline of society, and a recent psychedelic mushroom trip. He titled the post “The God pill..

.The God pill does feel like the final destination, where life becomes about asking Him for help and performing His will in a way that embraces good,. Valizadeh wrote in the post, which was first reported by the site We Hunted the Mammoth.

.My mind is currently buzzing with this new perspective, and I wouldn’t be surprised if much of my new work will be framed around it..

While I’m hopeful, it would be a mistake for a new Christian to pose as an authority on Christianity.

.I was baptized in an Armenian Apostolic church as a child,. he tweeted. .I’m going to remain Orthodox. I do believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God..

Valizadeh did not respond to emails and calls seeking comment.

Good, good. Not posing as an evangelist right away is a third green flag.

As pickup artist fever cooled online, Valizadeh, like other members of the anger-filled subculture, moved on to far-right politics and more explicit online misogyny.

He launched an explicitly anti-women site, Return of Kings, which promoted fat-shaming women online and ran articles with titles like .5 Reasons To Date A Girl With An Eating Disorder.. In 2015, Valizadeh proposed making rape legal on private property. He eventually shut down Return of Kings in late 2018, after a Paypal made it difficult for him to make money through the site.

I knew he shut down RoK but thought it was for admin reasons.

Valizadeh has also made inroads with white nationalist groups, even though he is not white. In 2015, Valizadeh gave a speech at a conference organized by white nationalist leader Richard Spencer. Racial differences aside, Valizadeh and white nationalist groups have found common ground on the idea that “feminism is behind the decline of Western Civilization,. according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Such obliviousness. “Hey, Nazis! Notice your new guy isn’t white! Didn’t you hear me? I called you all racists but you’re not acting racist! Get with the program!”

Valizadeh.s new focus on finding a wife mirrors the changes in the extremist “manosphere” over the past decade. Initially, would-be pickup artists believed in promises from gurus that they would have no difficulty finding casual sexual partners if they just followed certain rules. When those available women failed to materialize, many amateur pickup artists claimed that the real issue was modern feminism. On their forums, they began to focus instead on finding just one, traditional, often virginal woman to marry: a so-called “trad wife..

Valizadeh.s embrace of religion may be an attempt to pivot to this new, more fashionable brand of misogyny.

You mean marriage?

But the blogger claims finding God was the result of more emotional life events. In since-deleted tweets on the subject, Valizadeh linked to a eulogy for his sister in which he claimed her death from cancer in March 2018 made him feel “like a fool” for his pursuit of fame and women. A message he received while on psychedelic mushrooms, he wrote in his forum post, .further cemented that faith..

Mortality’s a good way to God, too. You know those proverbial atheists who say they’ll have fun then turn to God at the last second? Here his is and he “felt like a fool” for all the debauchery he enjoyed.

Some of the guru’s adherents appeared satisfied with the change. One commenter on his forum posted called it “the single most intriguing thing you’ve written to date.” Another commenter said he was going through the exact same changes in life. A recent tweet, in which Valizadeh compared a woman leading a man over a bridge to Satan leading someone into hell, garnered more than 2,500 likes.

But others were less impressed. “Any change that leads to Roosh not interacting with women at all seems like a net good,. writer Sara Luterman snarked on Twitter. Rebecca Schoenkopf, editor of the blog Wonkette, added she was “not buying it for a second..

Sara Luterman. Androgyny is disgusting.

Rebecca Schoenkopf. She’s brain-damaged, no joke. Notice her eyes have two different sizes of iris? When this picture was taken, she was either high on hard drugs or badly concussed. I didn’t come across a pic good enough to confirm if she’s always like that.

With detractors like these, I think Roosh is for real.

I came across Roosh’s conversion while checking out the June edition of Aaron Renn’s The Masculinist monthly newsletter. I’m not a regular reader but in that June edition, he calls for tolerance and patience with false clergy while simultaneously linking to news of Roosh’s conversion.

That was a very ironic pairing because Renn argues that highly credentialed, smart, professional clergy should not be called out when they repeat the humanist dogma infesting the church, while noticing that Roosh V gained salvation by drowning his grief in peyote. Mushrooms accomplished what seminary graduates could not.

If your pastor is putting out many of the incorrect beliefs I’ve critiqued in the Masculinist, the first thing to keep in mind is that it’s overwhelmingly likely that he is simply repeating what he was taught in seminary or heard from other, bigger name people or simply absorbed from secular culture. This is actually healthy in many respects. I want my pastor to hew close to what has traditionally been taught and what was passed down to him. We don’t need theological innovation. We do not have a faith that is new. But if somebody gets bad information, that can be a problem.

Mr. Renn, did you hear yourself? He is simply repeating what he was taught in seminary or heard from other, bigger name people or simply absorbed from secular culture.

That is not even a Christian. Faith in Christ does not come just from repeating Bible passages. It comes from believing it’s true. Implicit in that belief is that God, not any man, is the source of all truth.

The key is that it’s highly unlikely an ordinary church pastor is teaching something that he has reason to believe isn’t true. In my experience, most of these folks have never even encountered a different viewpoint, except for rival theological treatments that their tradition has already considered and rejected.

This is why you run them out of the Church, not why you play nice with them. Bubble Boy can’t hear you and be assured, that was a conscious choice he made, to make it into professional pastorhood without a clue.

The second thing to keep in mind is that changing his mind is likely to be a difficult undertaking no matter what you do. These beliefs on gender are analogous to political beliefs in some respects. And how often does someone change his political beliefs because of new information? Almost never.

No. There are two genders. Male and female. God created us this way. Science confirms God. You can see gender under a microscope. Rejecting this is not analogous to choosing between Libertarian and Green Party. It’s blatant denial of reality.

Third, these pastors are part of a community with others in their tradition, maybe even part of a tribe within a denomination. Adopting a position different from the group risks relationships, and even their future career path.

Translation, they love the approval of peers more than God. Nothing has changed in 2,000 years.

Realistically, even if you did convince your pastor there is a problem, it’s going to be very difficult for many of them to go against the party line.

That’s why I quit the Church entirely. I got tired of being useless and being lied to.

Finally, speaking the truth on these matters is risky and could create a lot of blowback. Just as a simple example, keep in mind that in today’s world, the people sitting in the pews are reading books, listening to podcasts, etc. from various big name people. So if their pastor starts teaching something different, they may get angry or push back, citing what they think is a superior authority. Most pastors aren’t very interested in that, so they are going to do what they can to stay on the safe side.

And this is where the once-professional prostitute Roosh V punks your worthless Ivy League clergy. They’re too afraid to follow God but Roosh is voluntarily burning his professional history and circle of paying customers to reinvent himself as a son of God. He’s already being hated and smeared by the devil’s witches. AND HE DOESN’T EVEN CARE because it’s not his first rodeo!

Your clergy want to do right by God but are too scared to suffer for God’s sake and believe their teachers can’t be wrong? They should resign in shame and let the whores & scam artists do the work of God. Just as happened in Jesus’ time. Matthew 11:19! “The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, .Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.” But wisdom is proved right by her deeds..

You’re right, Mr. Renn. We don’t have a new faith! And our traditions are scandalous.
