Contra Costa County Will Stop Prosecuting “Minor” Crimes in Response to Budget Shortfalls

Posted on by

This is a good example of how the entrenched culture of entitlement that exists in liberal states leads to surreal government policies that creates the impetus for Blue state population drain which is in part responsible for the budget shortfalls in the first place.

Remember that the people that decided to cut prosecutions have access to all sorts of perks (like government cars, generous pensions etc) that they won’t be cutting. From SFGate:

Misdemeanors such as assaults, thefts and burglaries will no longer be prosecuted in Contra Costa County because of budget cuts, the county’s top prosecutor said Tuesday.

District Attorney Robert Kochly also said that beginning May 4, his office will no longer prosecute felony drug cases involving smaller amounts of narcotics. That means anyone caught with less than a gram of methamphetamine or cocaine, less than 0.5 grams of heroin and fewer than five pills of ecstasy, OxyContin or Vicodin won’t be charged.

People who are suspected of misdemeanor drug crimes, break minor traffic laws, shoplift, trespass or commit misdemeanor vandalism will also be in the clear. Those crimes won’t be prosecuted, either.

A city where it is known you can basically walk around with Meth won’t attract a criminal element at all. And who would think that not prosecuting shoplifters or vandals will eventually drive businesses out of the county? I mean kids breaking windows and stealing things from shops will just give those businesses a certain cache, a hipness that Californians pride themselves in.

As for trespassing, finding someone on your property who doesn’t belong there never leads to other crimes right? I mean it’s not like trespassers are thieves and rapists…

“We had to make very, very difficult choices, and we had to try to prioritize things. There are no good choices to be made here,” said Kochly, a 35-year veteran prosecutor. “It’s trying to choose the lesser of certain evils in deciding what we can and cannot do.”

Barry Grove, a deputy district attorney who is president of the Contra Costa County District Attorneys Association, said, “There’s no question that these kinds of crimes are going to drastically affect the quality of life for all the citizens of Contra Costa County.”

The decision not to go after any perpetrators of certain offenses, Grove said, amounts to “holding up a sign and advertising to the criminal element to come to Contra Costa County, because we’re no longer going to prosecute you.”

So then why do it? Are we to believe government couldn’t cut anything else? Or is it more likely that the entrenched interests that run government is willing to let citizens suffer so their pet projects and big salaries don’t get cut? Announcing to the world that Methheads who like to trespass, vandalize other people’s property and steal from bodegas won’t be prosecuted is declaring open season on the citizens who will be preyed upon by these cretin.

Of course the D.A.’s office isn’t really to blame, and they are losing almost 20 workers due to cuts. But why is Contra Costa County cutting part of it’s law enforcement as opposed to entitlement programs or government worker perks? Why can’t the laid off prosecutors simply take pay cuts instead?

I don’t have their budget on hand but I’m betting I could trim the fat without effecting public safety. Why can’t Contra Costa County?

There’s No Such Thing as Gay Panic: Allen Andrade Knew Angie Zapata was Transsexual Before Having Sex with Her

Posted on by

This is another I told you so from me to all the naysayers who throw caution to the wind and claim I’m wrong. I blogged before about Allen Andrade, who is a cold, calculating killer who knowingly picked up a young male to female transsexual (a ladyboy in the parlance of people who are into that) to have a day long sex session with then rob and murder. We only can speculate on why Andrade likes to have sex with then kill transsexuals but the evidence of the case pointed to that being basically what happened.

Then the murder groupies showed up on my previous posts with comments like this:

Who do YOU think YOU are saying that Allen Ray Andrade deserves to die? Granted…he should not have killed JUSTIN but JUSTIN should not have been deceitful either! Search Angie Zapata on myspace….its not private. On HIS profile HE states HE is female and straight! What part of that is NOT deceiving? On many television interviews, Justins family states that they were always concerned with HIS lifestyle! WHY? Like if they knew HE would purposefully deceive men and somehow knew that someday HE would deceive the wrong man and possibly end up hurt. By no means, do I totally blame Justin for his own death, but i do feel he played a big role that led upto it! As far as this being a hate crime…i dont think so. Andrade did not target Zapata because HE was gay and then killed HIM for that reason! Come on now! And just because he had served time in prison before….that doesnt mean he went out “criusing the web looking for teens!” For petes sake…quit making up stuff! Now someone tell me this…..in some articles MR. Zapata’s age is 18 and in others HE is 20! How old was HE really? And why is there such a conflict with HIS age? Was that also part of the deceit? As for Zapata’s family, my heart truly goes out to you because I feel you all are the true victims here!

It should be noted that I did not edit the above, it was left on my blog with random ellipses. What this was responding to is my belief that Andrade knew Zapata was a transsexual well before they spent the night together and that even were it true he didn’t know, it is simply impossible for a man to spend an entire night with someone and not know they had a penis. The very idea is irrational.

But not to Andrade groupies, swooning on the Internet over the career felon who they hope will one day father their illegitimate children. You can read my exchange with “Liz” and other people who are friends of Andrade in that original post, which as you would expect consist of them calling me disgusting for suggesting the brutal murder of a 20-year-old should be punished. But then this guy show up with a challenge:

Mr. Taylor,
I have spent over an hour reading your blogs I came past trying to have an unbiased point of view. However, your many arguments have been weak and illogical. Many of the things you have brought up about Andrade have been speculation on your own part (i.e., practically all of Blog #1) and unless you prove to me you are some how directly associated with the case (for instance if your God, a judge, lawyer or some kind of prosecutor ) and know details of what happened FOR CERTAIN then your speculation has no foundation for those reading. Andrade is not who your making him to be and neither is Zapata. Any person who can read and can think logically can see that. 

Semi-literate legalese that it is (and that was the most readable part of a 20-paragraph opus that included Bible verses and severe misinterpretations of the legal code) I took it to mean that were I proven correct in my assertion that Andrade was just a guy who likes to have sex with then rough up transsexuals “Amazed” would bow down before me as his new god, since only God, a lawyer or a judge would know the facts of the case. On your knees Amazed, you have a new god:

Deputy District Attorney Brandi Lynn Nieto told the jury that Andrade knew for 36 hours Angie was biologically male. He even attended a court hearing for a traffic ticket where clerks called for the case against “Justin Zapata.”

“You’ll hear a call to his girlfriend that demonstrates his hatred for homosexuals,” Nieto said. “It will give you a window into the defendant’s mind. It will show his bigotry, his prejudice and his bias against homosexuals.”

Nieto showed the jury transcripts of those calls, including one that said it was not like he was shooting a teacher in cold blood or a straight, law-abiding citizen.

“He makes it clear there is a difference between killing someone who’s homosexual and someone who’s not,” Nieto said. “He knew for some time she was transgender, and he brutally killed her because of it.”

What’s that? You say Allen Andrade was in court with Zapata and heard him called by his given name Justin? He had a girlfriend he talked about killing gays with? It seems like he knew Zapata was a transsexual before they had sex? Sounds exactly like what I said happened, so sorry Andrade lovers your big manly hero who “went insane” after learning of Zapata’s gender apparently had sex with Zapata between learning about her transsexual and the murder.

There is no such thing as Gay Panic and while Homophobe is a convenient word to lob about to describe bigots who don’t like Gays there really isn’t anyone suffering from a crippling fear of Homosexuality. There are people who uses these pop culture delusions to excuse their proclivities which often include preying upon gays violently and often sexually.

As long as we accept the idea that drag queens and transsexuals are “fooling” poor innocent straight men so oozing with machismo that they are blinded with rage when they “find out” someone is not female the Andrades of the world will have a cheerleading section of stupid people defending them. To my fabulous friends I say, sorry girls, but unless someone is coming from an isolated village of very tall extremely feminine women who love Cher I just don’t think it’s possible that straights are being fooled. I think some straight men want to be fooled for their own reasons.

Likewise transsexuals are only “fooling” people who desire to be fooled, who are invested in the deniability that comes with claiming the biological man they just had sex with was such a good woman that anyone would have done the same.

But Andrade knew Zapata was a transsexual as surely as the men who go to dragshows know that’s not really Judy Garland on stage. Andrade sought out a young transsexual he desired, had sex with her than killed her in the ultimate fulfillment of his sado-homoerotic fantasy. Andrade is evil not tormented, sadistic not sick and he deserves to die for this murder.

Andrade deserves to die not because his victim was gay or a transsexual, but because his victim was an innocent person brutally murdered. His “gay panic” defense is just another attack on the victim of his crime, and an idea which should be abandoned by right thinking people.

Animals! Alfonso Hernandez and Michael Edmonds Kill War Hero’s Dog for Fun

Posted on by

And apparently it wasn’t the first dog they murdered. The dog was a form of therapy for Marcus Luttrell after everything he went through for his country so the killing is, for him, beyond what even the most loving pet owners could imagine. Evil bastard Michael Edmonds is still on the loose so I’m posting this Glen Beck video which has his mugshot and law enforcement contact information. If you see this animal, turn him in. And if he gets a little roughed up…

Let’s get justice for Dasy! Michael Edmonds needs to pay for this outrage.

Update: Edmonds turned himself in and is out on bail. If he should get roughed up….

It Takes Village to Raise a Murderer: Fabian Nunez Raised an Animal

Posted on by

Los Angles politician Fabian Nunez has a son named Esteban. Esteban and his friends called themselves “The Hazard Crew”, or THC for short, and by all accounts were a gang of drug using sociopaths who, among other things, posted pictures of themselves torturing cats and other animals on social networking sites. But don’t worry Mayor Villaraigosa says he’s a good kid.

But like any common serial killer, Esteban graduated from torturing pets to murdering 22-year-old Louis Santos when he and THC went looking for a fight after not being allowed to enter a frat party.  Now Santos’ family is worried that justice will not be done and they may be right. California’s corrupt political establishment is coming to the aid of the Nunez family and Esteban and company may well get off.

But how does a Esteban Nunez come to be? How does a son of a prominent politician become a violent drug using predator with no conception of common morality?

He is a product of the culture his father and Mayor Villaraigosa help to perpetuate in California. The faux-gangsterism, the sadism and the inability to recognize that you are responsible for the consequences of your actions are all by-products of California’s kid gloving criminals and medicalizing criminality. In an environment where no one believes that someone who photographs themselves performing vivisection on animals for fun is simply a bad person who shouldn’t be trusted, but instead is in need of some sort of hug therapy or whatever is fashionable, the Estebans of the world will become more and more dangerous.

This is especially so when the person is privileged, when the sons and daughters of politicians and celebrities are often above the law, then the law cannot possibly restrain people as evil and degenerate as Esteban Nunez.

It took more than a village to raise Esteban Nunez, it took a whole state sinking in moral impotence and corruption. Should Esteban get off, he will kill again, and California is full of people just like him. It’s no wonder good people are leaving California in droves.

Breitbart has an update on the case.

The Death of Manliness: The Acceptance of Masochism and the George Weber Murder

Posted on by

It isn’t my intention to cast aspersions on the character of murder victim George Weber. And please don’t try to call me a homophobe because everyone knows I’m pro-gay rights. I am not convinced however, as some may argue, that the website Craigslist bears the majority of the responsibility for his gruesome death. What is at fault is a larger culture of depravity and self-loathing, drug use and abdication of responsibility, particularly the responsibility for your own safety.

First the facts of the case. George Weber connected with 16-year-old Anarchist/Satanist/Sadist John Katehis when the minor responded to Weber’s Craigslist ad looking for a partner for rough sex. The two rescheduled a March 18th rendezvous to the following Friday, where Weber is believed to have paid Katehis $60 to engage in S&M and bondage with him. Weber was to be the “bottom” for Katehis. At some point the 47-year-old Weber, hands and feet bound with duct tape, was stabbed around 50 times by Katehis.

Much has been made about Katehis’s MySpace which clearly showed him to be potentially dangerous. It is unlikely Weber came across that however.What we do know is that the 47-year-old Weber invited a strange young man (and I believe Weber assumed he was 18 since Katehis has an online history of lying about his age) to his house for a rough sex session prefaced by the two drinking vodka and snorting cocaine. If while reading this it seems blatantly obvious that this would end badly then you are apparently ahead of the game. Weber is not alone in posting ads looking for this same thing and as far as I know no friend of the broadcaster has even expressed shock at what 30 years ago would be considered a death too unseemly for comment.

Weber was a masochist who wanted to be choked while performing oral sex on a young man. In today’s society we simply shrug at this as if there is nothing wrong with the pathological compulsion to be sexually humiliated and abused even though in this case the reasons such a thing shouldn’t be condoned is staring us right in the face. The sadists who make up the S component in S&M are not simply people with a “kink” who want to party with you. They are people for whom pain and suffering, and death, are more arousing than the sex itself. Masochism at it’s very base it a desire to be abused or re-enact abuse, so by its very nature it attracts abusive, dangerous people.

Not to mention the cocaine. Cocaine users are unpredictable at best, and again while I wouldn’t claim Weber is responsible for his own murder, he was responsible for his own safety. And at the risk of being insensitive here the facts are this: George Weber met a strange teen and got him drunk and coked up with the intention of allowing that teen to bind him with duct tape and abuse him while he performed oral sex the teen. Express this desire to a psychiatrist and that person may feel sufficiently fearful for your safety that you’ll be committed. In the aftermath of a murder it is considered in bad taste to mention that this compulsive abuse seeking is a recipe for personal disaster.

New York is full of people who not only condone, but encourage this sort of death-seeking and worse, have convinced each other it isn’t unsafe at all. The most basic responsibility a man has is his own safety and the safety of his loved ones. It’s an old fashioned concept but it is true, and when we live in a state of blissful naivete and abdicate that basic responsibility to ourselves and others we invite people into our lives who will take advantage of that. When we allow our inner demons to drive us to Caligula-like depravity, and consciousness numbing substance abuse, we consign ourselves to a hell of our own making where the demons are very real, and very evil.

Make no mistake, only John Katehis is responsible for George Weber’s murder, but it is a society that produces “men” who don’t have the slightest hint of the self-preservation instinct, who are unaware of the dangers of allowing strangers to physically dominate them, who fill their off hours in drugs and sexual activities that would have gotten him arrested if not for Katehis’ savage disregard for human life, that is responsible for his death.

When I lived in New York for so many years, I witnessed the effeminization of men (and infantilization of women) being lauded as a more modern and progressive cultural alternative to “Red State” ideas of being a Man’s Man. I met many people who sneered in disgust at the idea that you should always be prepared to defend yourself or your family. The idea that you are the only person responsible for you, that you need to guarantee your own safety and learn to avoid danger was considered wild-eyed insanity. But in a city where men and women are regularly preyed on by people just like John Katehis, what drives men to stick their heads in the sand and not take responsibility for their own safety?

We’ll never know, but I would suggest that when our culture began to look down on the concept of manliness we began our slide into perpetual sexualized adolescence, which in turn creates an illusion of safety that entraps those people who, like Weber, are driven to push themselves to the limit to satisfy some inner compulsion. As more people blame the site where Weber and Katehis met we’ll perpetuate that illusion, until the next George Weber when we’ll need to point the finger at yet another symptom of our own decline.
