Ya Don’t Say

Here’s a shocker:

Cody Balmer, the 38-year-old man arrested for allegedly firebombing the home of Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) over the weekend, hates Jews.

“Balmer called 911 following the attack early Sunday, identified himself by name and told operators Shapiro needs to know he ‘will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people.’ ”

My immediate thought would be to round up this asswipe’s family, then set the lot of them on fire — family first, then him later in the day — because after all, that’s what he had in mind for Shapiro’s family.

Yeah, this kind of shit makes this old atheist go all Old Testament / Hammurabi-like, sue me.

Sauces, Goose, Gander For The Use Of

We’ve all seen recently that acolytes of the Left have been vandalizing Tesla cars, destroying Tesla charging points and attempting to damage Tesla dealerships — all because they disapprove of what Tesla founder Elon Musk has been doing to bloated government, or soemthing.

POTUS Trump calls these activities “domestic terrorism” while several people at CNN label them “a protest“.

I just want to see if I’ve got this clear.

So according to CNN:  if I were to, say, firebomb Michael Moore’s (empty) house because I strongly disagree with all the things he’s said, that would be just “a protest” ?

What about painting “Lefty Scum” on Chuck Schumer’s car?  Also “a protest” ?

How about circulating a bumper sticker like this one?

Would this too be an example of First-Amendment-protected “protest” ?

I’m just trying to understand the ground rules, here.

By Any Other Name, Part Deux

Let’s assume that your name was Mahmood El Snaipah, and you wanted to bring attention to the Holy Cause Of Islam by orchestrating attacks on critical energy facilities by targeting an oil pipeline in South Dakota and an electrical substation in North Dakota.

Can you spell T-E-R-R-O-R-I-S-M, children?  Of course you can.

Then there’s this asshole:

Cameron Smith, a 50-year-old Canadian national, used a high-powered rifle, to inflict significant damage to both a transformer and pipeline equipment, resulting in widespread disruption of electrical services and interrupting pipeline operations.  

But he’s not a Muzzie terrorist;  he’s an eco-terrorist, you see:

Smith told the court his actions were driven by frustration after years of trying to raise awareness of climate change through lawful means.

… so his behavior must be excused?

Not bloody likely:

Smith has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for orchestrating attacks on critical energy facilities in the United States.

Now we come to the boo-hoo part:

He said he chose remote locations to avoid harming people, and he argued for a lesser sentence, citing his autism and Crohn’s disease.

“This is tantamount to a life sentence, and I don’t think that’s right,” Smith said. He expressed doubt he would receive adequate medical care while incarcerated.

And the takeaway quote:

“I won’t survive this,” Smith said.

I hope you shit yourself to death.  Painfully.  Over the next twenty-odd years.

Save The Wales

This is a strange one:

One of America’s most wanted terror suspects has been tracked down and arrested in rural Wales some 21 years after a double bombing attack in San Francisco.

Wales?

The BBC reports Daniel Andreas San Diego, 46, is in custody after an operation Monday backed by counter terrorist police and North Wales Police.

The fugitive now faces extradition to the U.S. after being arrested at a remote property near woodland in north Wales by Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA).

The NCA said the Berkeley, California-born runaway was arrested at the request of U.S. authorities and appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court in London on Tuesday, where extradition proceedings began.

Okay, the “Berkeley” part makes sense, but…

The FBI has previously called the suspect an “animal rights extremist” and was the first alleged domestic terrorist to be added to the U.S. agency’s most wanted terrorists list.

Ooooh, an eco-terrorist. (Now does the title of the post make sense?)

I suggest that he be reunited with his beloved Mother Nature en route back to the U.S. in the usual manner, from 10,000 feet up:

Ocean, prairie, jungle, Berkeley, Wales, whatever.  I’m not fussy.

Or if we wanted to make the punishment fit the crime, we could always borrow a pager from some other terrorist and duct-tape it to his scrotum.

Potato, potahto.
