RANT: An unramed trio is robbed by four thugs with a gun

Chilling video shows Chicago dad robbed at gunpoint in front of home as wife, kids slept inside

A chilling video captured the moment a Chicago resident was robbed at gunpoint by a group of masked thugs in front of his home as his wife, kids and other relatives slept inside.
Victor Galena Sr. was on his way to work about 6 a.m. Friday in the Windy City’s Hermosa neighborhood when he and two companions were accosted by a group of robbers wearing black ski masks, CBS News Chicago reported.
“They started pointing a gun at my dad and [one of his companions] who was up here on those stairs,” the victim’s son Victor Galena Jr. told the news outlet.
The group had been counting the money that they planned to spend on construction tools that day when they were attacked by thugs.
*** and ***
“It’s the people that you look up to that you call right away when you need someone to defend you, and if they can’t defend you, then who are you going to call if you’re defenseless by yourself?” he added.
Police said the same group of brazen thieves later committed the same crime against at least 10 other people — part of a string of robberies in which they target residents leaving for or arriving at their jobs.
*** end quote ***
Sure glad that Chicago is “gun free”.
Wait until the vigilantes start to protect themselves.
This gang could be caught in a “honeypot”. Early AM counting money with armed back up hidden away.
End of gang of robbers.
But then the liberal woke politicians and bureaucrats would be after their scalps.
Argh!
Hard to believe that “We, The Sheeple” have ALLOWED politicians and bureaucrats to disarm us.

“I particularly like unlimited concealed carry. If the criminal regards the general public as sheep to be shorn, then let’s sprinkle in a few “sheepdogs” with big teeth in the flock.
Guess which gay to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Pink Pistol and you’re dead!
Guess which woman to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Paxton Quigly and you’re dead!
Guess which brown person to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Massad Ayoob and you’re dead!”

GUNS: Let’s sprinkle in a few “sheepdogs” with big teeth in the flock
I still believe this is THE solution to crime in “our” cities.

RANT: No bail for second offenders, parolees, felons, or “juveniles” — especially in elderly assault

Teen arrested in random beating of man, 71, as NYPD seeks additional suspect in elderly assault
By c — May 25, 2023 11:06am
*** begin quote ***
A 14-year-old boy was busted this week for allegedly slugging an elderly man in an unprovoked attack in Midtown, cops said.
The teen was nabbed at his home Wednesday and charged with assault in connection to the May 6 assault on a 71-year-old man on West 55th Street near Broadway, police said.
The boy approached the septuagenarian from behind just after 9 p.m., punched him in the face and pushed him to the ground, authorities said.
The pint-sized assailant took off, and the senior was taken to Mount Sinai West for medical treatment, cops said.
Days after the attack, police released a photo of the suspect, standing with one clenched fist, in hopes of tracking him down.

Little coward needs to be treated as an “adult”. Sorry but Heinlein had the correct take on “juvenile delinquents”.
“I told you that ‘juvenile delinquent’ is a contradiction in terms. ‘Delinquent’ means ‘failing in duty.’ But duty is an adult virtue—indeed a juvenile becomes an adult when, and only when, he acquires a knowledge of duty and embraces it as dearer than the self-love he was born with. There never was, there cannot be a ‘juvenile delinquent.’ But for every juvenile criminal there are always one or more adult delinquents—people of mature years who either do not know their duty, or who, knowing it, fail.” ― Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers
This 14 year old is a “criminal” and should be treated as such.

RANT: Yet Another “Unfair Labor” practice?

POS Tip Demands Are Driving Inflation Higher
May 22, 2023 10:00am by Barry Ritholtz
*** begin quote ***
If you leave a few singles in a jar by the register, you assume the recipients are the staff who work there. We have no idea where the Square POS tips go. Recall Doordash and other weasels pocketing driver tips during the pandemic (we should make sure that’s not happening here). All POS tip demands should be mandated to show a disclosure as to where the money goes — and both Square and the retailer should be on hook if it does not go where advertised.
*** end quote ***
I remember first seeing this at Olive Garden when they first mandated that all Users paying by credit card use their POS (point of sale which happened to be a Piece of <synonym for excrement>) device. It automagically “suggested” 18% “tip”. I had no idea but a sneaky suspicion that this was not on the all up and up. So I always tipped in cash — and not 18%. After all I was now doing some of the work and we used to get thin mints with the receipt.
It would seem that “tipping” needs to be disclosed. Who gets it and how much does the server have to “tip out” to others. I’m most concerned that this is nothing more than a “DoorDash” price increase.
Argh!

RANT: A Leftist college professor demonstrates how to be “stupid”!
Wednesday, May 24, 2023 NYC college professor cursed out anti-abortion students tabling at school
By Allie Griffin — May 22, 2023 11:39pm
*** begin quote ***
A Manhattan college (NB: not manhattan.edu) professor flipped out on a group of students who set up an information table opposing abortion inside the school building — cursing and tossing their pamphlets, video of the interaction shows.
Shellyne Rodriguez, an adjunct professor, told the pro-life students they were “triggering” her students by tabling inside Hunter College in Manhattan earlier this month.
The footage was posted to Twitter by Students for Life of America.
“You’re not educating s–t. This is f–king propaganda,” the art professor told the students tabling on May 2. “What are you going to do like anti-trans next?”
A male student behind the table calmly told her, “I mean no, we’re talking about abortion” and said he was sorry about “triggering” her students.
Rodriguez claimed their demonstration was “violent” and yelled at the male student behind the table that he wasn’t sorry “because you can’t even have a f–king baby,” the video shows.
*** end quote ***
This is secular “higher” education.
How can you reason when the Leftists refuse to keep the peace?
Disgraceful and un-American.

Two 14-year-old boys died after their Alfa Romeo car was struck by a suspected drunk driver who was traveling the wrong-way on a Long Island expressway.
Drew Hassenbein and Ethan Falkowitz died near Jericho late Wednesday night after Amandeep Singh, 34, crashed his Dodge Ram into them, the New York Post reported.
They were pronounced dead at the scene, while two other boys, aged 16 and 17, who were in the car suffered internal injuries. They were in a stable condition in hospital.

I really don’t understand how parking lot owners can stop wrong way drivers (i.e., tire shredders), but Gooferment highway “engineers” can’t.
It seems real simple to me.
I bet the tire makers would applaud the new business. I’m sure all the victims of these killers would as well.
Argh!

American sprinter and Olympic gold medalist Tori Bowie has died at the age of 32.
*** end quote ***
Doesn’t anyone think that all these sudden deaths of people is some way related to the Covid “vaccinations”?
I can not EVER remember more than one or two in ALL my decades on this earth. Len from Maryland was the only one that stands out and he was found to have a congenital heart defect.
It can be a coincidence. And, some politicians, bureaucrats, and Big Pharma execs should be on trial for murder!
Argh!

RANT: Norfolk Southern should be ashamed if not penalized for this inexcusible behavior
Sunday, April 30, 2023Shocking video shows kids crawling under a Norfolk Southern freight train as carriages continually block their route to school – and start moving WITHOUT warning

- Schoolchildren are often late to class and have to crawl over and under stopped trains to get to school
- Indiana is in the top five states with the most complaints about blocked rail crossing. Texas tops the list, followed by Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Tennessee

Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. And, if I was on the jury, I’d make sure that an “eye watering” judgement would get everyone’s attention.
I read recently in Japan that the Railway Company there put “turtle conduits” under their tracks so that turtles could migrate safely. I bet Norfolk Southern would not survive in Japan with their careless lack of regard for human life.
I can’t believe that the political parasite class can’t get this “fixed”! Why else do we tolerate them?
I’m going to put on my citizen journalist hat on and ask Norfolk Southern for comment. Any wager about response time?
