How many shooters come from homes without fathers? Not just the 'white' shooters who get all the 24/7 coverage (man bites dog), but those in places like Chicago (dog bites man). However to face that brings into question over 50 years of narrative of Big Brother substituting for in home fathers and its construction of an bureaucratic empire.

As the Beest recently reported, men are really to blame for everything. If women would simply stop listening to them, the utopian dream would soon be realized.
[Right Scoop] Mark Levin opened his show tonight on the hot topic of the McCabe firing, explaining why it happened and why both Comey and McCabe are dirty cops.

I understand the DOJ OIG report may not be out until May now. The OIG has not been forthcoming in supplying their source documents with Congress; only about 3000 out of over a million documents have been shared.
It would seem that anything that Comey or McCabe touched in the way of investigations would be in danger of being thrown out--or restarted and conducted in an honest/legal way.
[Breitbart] John Franklin Stephens, a man with Down syndrome, told the United Nations that a world without people like him would be "a poorer world, a colder world, a less happy world."
In a moving speech before the 37th session of the Human Rights Council last week, Mr. Stephens told his audience that the most important thing that can be done to improve the lives of people with Down syndrome is to remember their status as human beings, equal in dignity to everyone else.
"I am a man," Stephens said. "See me as a human being, not a birth defect, not a syndrome. I don’t need to be eradicated. I don’t need to be cured. I need to be loved, valued, educated and, sometimes, helped."
Mr. Stephens was invited to speak at the U.N. days before the celebration of World Down Syndrome Day 2018, to be held on March 21.
Ironically, his address came the day after an Ohio judge sided with the abortion industry and blocked a law that banned selective abortions targeting babies diagnosed with Down syndrome.
[OregonGuyThinks] Recently, Deputy Assistant of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, was fired from his post. There are a lot of good theories about his dismissal, there are a lot of bad theories about his dismissal, but there is one theory--the one that I have--that removes all questions about Trump and Trump Collusion With the Russians from contention for the Best Reason Ever Andrew McCabe was fired.
[ARABNEWS] Moslems in Britannia, or anyone who might appear to be Moslem, will be marking April 3 in their diaries with trepidation. Various lowlifes have added a new date to the calendar: "Punish a Moslem Day."
Last week brought news of yet another sexual grooming scandal of underage girls perpetrated mostly by Moslems with roots in the Middle East upon poor and lower-class indigenous British girls. This follows similar scandals in the towns of Rotherham, Rochdale, Derby, Oxford, Bristol, Banbury, Aylesbury, and Keighley.
Letters announcing this charming exhibition of naked anti-Moslem hatred have been circulated, posted through letterboxes, including to five British Moslem MPs, one of them a Cabinet minister. The letters proclaim that "they have hurt you, they have made your loved ones suffer. They have caused you pain and heartache. What are you going to do about it?" The letter promises rewards for certain actions. Verbally abusing a Moslem gets you 10 points. Pulling a hijab off a Moslem woman earns you 25. Throwing acid in the face of a Moslem gets you 50 (acid attacks have been on the increase in the UK). Beating up a Moslem gets you a 100, though torturing one gets you 250. You have to butcher a Moslem for 500 points ‐ the word murder is not used as no doubt the author does not consider it a crime. Burning or bombing a mosque gets you 1,000. Who knows what these points get you, perhaps an entry in the neo-Nazi hall of fame.
The police, including counter-terrorism officers, are taking the letters very seriously, as they should. They were sent to people in London, Birmingham, Cardiff and Yorkshire. Some of the letters were posted from Sheffield.
British Moslems generally put on a brave face, many proclaiming they will not be cowed into staying at home on April 3 by these bully boys. Others acknowledge they will be keeping their children safely at home.
The key issue is whether this is the work of some unhinged bully boy largely acting alone or, more dangerously, an organized group effort across the country with the resources to carry out such crimes and create mass panic.
It has put Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... squarely back on the political agenda. For once there is a broad cross-party consensus. Prime Minister Theresa May said: "I am sure that the whole House (of Commons) will join me in condemning this unacceptable and abhorrent behaviour, which has no place in our society."

IMO, the Brits would be better of having a "Punish a Quisling Day" - starting with their travesty of PM on the very top, and going all the way down.

Call me cynical, but I'd bet on a false-flag operation.
[TAKIMAG] A hundred years ago, the sun never set on the British Empire. These days, England’s rulers are blowing out the candles and telling the citizens to enjoy the darkness.
Last week brought news of yet another sexual grooming scandal of underage girls perpetrated mostly by Moslems with roots in the Middle East upon poor and lower-class indigenous British girls. This follows similar scandals in the towns of Rotherham, Rochdale, Derby, Oxford, Bristol, Banbury, Aylesbury, and Keighley.
Last week brought news of yet another sexual grooming scandal of underage girls perpetrated mostly by Moslems with roots in the Middle East upon poor and lower-class indigenous British girls. This follows similar scandals in the towns of Rotherham, Rochdale, Derby, Oxford, Bristol, Banbury, Aylesbury, and Keighley.
This time the scandal involves the West Midlands town of Telford. An 18-month investigation by The Mirror led news hounds to describe the situation as Britannia’s "worst ever" child grooming scandal:
Up to 1,000 children could have suffered in Britannia’s worst known abuse scandal - where sex gangs targeted girls as young as 11.
The rape hell of vulnerable maiden of tender yearss in one town - Telford - went on for a shocking 40 years....
As many as 1,000 children could have suffered at the merciless hands of perverts and torturers in Telford since the 1980s.
Girls as young as 11 have been lured from their families to be drugged, beaten and raped in an epidemic that, say victims, is still ongoing.
THREE people were murdered and two others died in tragedies linked to the scandal.
Among the three murders is that of 16-year-old Lucy Lowe, who died along with her mother and sister after a 26-year-old taxi driver named Azhar Ali Mehmood set their house ablaze. Lucy had given birth to Mehmood’s child when she was only 14.

Telford is the first to be non-labour party rotten borough.
[ARABNEWS] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... ’s relations with Arab countries have reached a record low. Relations may of course deteriorate between countries from time to time when their national interests collide, but in the case of Turkey and Arab countries, there was no threat to the interests of either side.
In Egypt, Turkey stood against Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s military takeover, which was understandable because Turkey has suffered a lot from military interventions. The mistake was in Turkey’s insistence in not recognizing the new leadership even after it had established its authority in the country. Turkey had to take into account that Egypt is the unchallenged leader of the Arab world. When the region faces its worst crises, these two countries can take action to alleviate the effects and contribute to their solution.

[Al Jazeera] Before Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , there were the brothers Ford.
In many ways, Doug and the late Rob Ford, the travesty twins of Canadian politics, presaged Trump's pestilential presidency albeit on a much less consequential, but still instructive scale.
It's instructive because the success and stubborn popularity of the brothers Ford are a frank rebuttal to anyone, anywhere, who envisions Canada, and more particularly, Canadians, as enlightened antidotes to Trump's seething malevolence.
Indeed, the brothers Ford are proof that with the right help, at the right time, and given the right circumstances, lots of gullible people, propelled, in part, by fear, avarice and ignorance, are susceptible to the appeal of calculating charlatans who exploit that fear, avarice and ignorance for their parochial, largely libertarian, aims.
It was true in 2010 when Rob Ford became mayor of Canada's largest and most cosmopolitan city and it will be true again if, in a few months, Doug Ford becomes premier of Canada's most influential and, arguably, most cosmopolitan province.
Trump and the Fords are infected by the same sinister contagion and employ the same cynical modus operandi disguised as "populism" to infect as many others as possible - whatever the cost to the common good or decency.

Canada has the Trudeau virus. They need a little of the Trump antidote.
[BSK] My take on Austin Bombings: the fourth bomb is a smokescreen. The changing of trigger, delivery and victims is meant to suggest a) more than one bomber b) a wider purpose and victimology to confuse investigators.
Bomb makers tend to perfect a particular type of bomb. Largely because it takes time to develop one that works effectively and doesn't blow up the maker. Too many styles mean the potential for a fatal error. As it is, many bomb makers end up missing fingers no matter how good they are.
According to the latest reports, the 4th bomb itself had similar materials and set up with the exception of the trip wire. The trip wire trying to indicate more than one bomb maker tries to suggest multiples of people involved. Where it may be more likely 1 (bomb maker) or possibly 2 (logistics/delivery/driver).
With the very close relationship of the first 3 bomb victims and the completely unrelated, unknown fourth victims, the bomber(s) made a mistake. Instead of obfuscating the purpose, relationship or motive for the earlier victims, it serves to focus attention on the first victims. Most importantly, the first victim.
In this type of event, with closely related victims in a serial bombing, it reflects certain aspects of serial killers. Meaning that the first victim is the most meaningful and closest to the killer.
The motive is unclear. People have speculated as to whether it is racial or related to the first victim's activism. That the killer went out of the way to target family members as well seems more personal. They also attended the same church.
What is completely amazing is that the last bomb was triggered by a trip wire across the road. Which would take time and effort. In the open.
Importantly, the police say they are reviewing video from local home owners' security cameras. That is something the bomber may have miscalculated. His other targets lived in busy, Urban areas, lower income, unlikely to have video. He may have gotten lax in his surveillance or simply been too focused on finding an unrelated location.
Another factor is that it appears to take the bomb maker a week to make a bomb. 10 to make 2. Delivered the packages before work hours on the weekday (early morning) and late Sunday. This is his free time. Which means he has a job. He may also live with someone who is unsuspecting and who he wants to avoid drawing attention by simply leaving earlier for work or going to run an errand (Sunday).
Obviously must have access to property where loud explosions would go unremarked or even unheard. Somewhere outside of the city limits. The bombing locations frame the I 35 corridor. This creates easy and multiple ingresses and egresses from the bomb sites. There are other surrounding major roadways and state highways that he can circle back to the major artery, avoiding road blocks.
The first bombs appear to be mercury switches that trigger on movement. They appear to be hand delivered and left on people's porches or steps. Police initially asked for assistance from the Postal Inspector and various delivery companies. No reports of anyone seeing who left the packages. No indication of type of vehicle.
The police may be withholding this information or it may be that it was very early in the morning and no one noticed. In the early hours, the delivery could be someone driving up to the house, delivering and getting back in the car to drive away.
The one that must bogle is the setting up of a trip wire on the 4th bomb that no one noticed happening.
#2
With all the dirt cheap and extremely small multipurpose computers on a tiny board for sale everywhere, it would be an interesting project to create an IED using a proximity detector (not a trip wire, but something using PIR or ultrasound) to set off a parcel bomb, just left sitting on the road instead of a porch.
#3
Ref #2. Yes, as is done in AFG or Iraq, it's done with a cell phone and a simple call. One caller can set off multiple charges remotely, as target(s) appear.
#4
Cell phones may not be necessary. PIR &/or US as part of a small computer, could be set up to self detonate when a person gets close enough, similar to front door lights that come one when someone is on the front step - but these won't trigger for a dog or cat.
#5
ANOTHER BOMB went off at a FedEx facility the north side of San Antonio, TX. Package was addressed to Austin. One worker injured. This happened 0030 Tuesday morning.
#6
Cops demand access to all your data. Say they need it to fight this sort of thing, but when it happens, they are helpless. Doesn't like like a very good deal to me.
Me either since the track record for prevention sucks, e.g. 911, Boston bombing, Cruz shooting and others. What's the saying: "When you trade freedom for security, you end up with neither."

An Austin Goodwill store had something like an incendiary device go off this Tuesday evening. An injured employee was treated & released. Police say this is a different kind of device from the others.
[DAWN] FURTHER attempts to curtail the public operations of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa ...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba... , this time by the KP government, ought to be welcomed.
In the run-up to the FATF measures against Pakistain and after the furore it caused in the country, it was always apparent that true progress in a state takeover or shutting down of the operations of all banned holy warrior groups and their affiliated networks would depend on sustained, national action across the various tiers of the state.
Earlier this month, the Secretary of Interior Arshad Mirza said before a Senate standing committee that the process of taking over the assets of the JuD and its sister organization the Falah-e-Insaniyat ...the current false nose and mustache of Jamaat ud-Dawa, which was the false nose and mustache of Lashkar e-Taiba... Foundation had yet to be completed. It is hoped then that the KP government has moved in coordination with the interior ministry and security agencies to put the country further in compliance with its legal and international obligations.
The era of obfuscation and delay must well and truly be left behind.
A problem that is apparent with the currently evolving approach against holy warrior and myrmidon networks, however, is that it is event-driven. An event such as the FATF redesignation causes a shock to the system which then tries to address the specific, narrow reasons for the particular shock. Surely, such an approach can deliver only limited results.
The political and military leaderships as well as the provincial governments routinely insist that without a coordinated, sustained campaign ‐ a nationwide counter-militancy and counter-extremism programme that breathes fresh life into the moribund National Action Plan ‐ the long fight against terrorism will be difficult to win. But then, none of the entities tasked with winning the fight against militancy and extremism appear serious about coordinating their actions in a long-term, sustained manner.
The latest actions in KP could presage a change, but that remains to be seen.
Perhaps a way of injecting fresh energy into the counterterrorism and counter-extremism campaigns nationwide would be to strip away the aura of secrecy surrounding state actions. While from an intelligence and operational perspective, some details of a crackdown cannot realistically be shared with the public, there is unnecessary secrecy surrounding state actions against banned groups, which adds to the confusion and can sow doubts.
It is as if the state hopes it can dismantle vast networks that have penetrated deep into Pak society across the country without drawing too much attention to what, if done right and fully, would amount to one of the most far-reaching social reversals in decades.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
