Mainstream media incitement of black rage after death of George Floyd appears to have led to the incremental murders of several thousand extra Americans after Memorial Day as urban murders were up 38% in 2020.
We stereotype mass shootings as being in the Columbine mode with a white guy with a scary rifle sticking around to finish off the wounded because he expects to die or spend the rest of his life in prison.
Those type are horrifically memorable but statistically rare.
Statistical databases of incidents in which 4 people are shot are dominated not by Columbine-like atrocities but by black-on-black shootings in which, typically, an angry black guy fires wildly into a crowd of blacks hoping to kill the guy who dissed him, then runs away.
Unsolved mass shootings are particularly likely to be black-on-black because of the snitches-get-stitches culture, so nobody saw nothing.
For example, in June 2019, 44 of the 59 mass shootings were unsolved.
But in June 2020, 90 of the 106 mass shooting were unsolved.
One oddity of 2020 that probably is related to the pandemic closing schools and churches is that classic white guy Columbine-style mass killing shootings dwindled virtually to zero, as Dave Chappelle pointed out.
Instead, 2020 saw a huge increase after George Floyd's death in the type of mass shootings that have all the hallmarks of being run-of-the-mill black-on-black mass shootings: cops can't get anybody to talk, high ratio of wounded to killed, happened in black neighborhoods etc.
Notice how this cumulative line chart of mass shootings spikes upward spectacularly in late May around the time the Racial Reckoning was declared by the Mainstream Media over George Floyd's death on 5/25/2020.
It's almost as if the media incited mass shooters to violence.
Few have noticed, but the current crackdown on civil liberties following the attack on the Capitol is strikingly analogous in some ways to the crackdown on civil liberties that followed the 1933 attack on the Reichstag in Berlin.
Hitler was not one to let a crisis go to waste, so he moved rapidly after the Reichstag fire to crush political opposition.
Two days later, the Reichstag Fire Decree "suspended ... habeas corpus, ... secrecy of the post and telephone, freedom of expression and of the press, the right to public assembly, and the right of free association, as well as the protection of property and the home."
The opening days of deer hunting season are one of my favorite childhood memories. Our whole Tamil Brahmin subcaste would gather around across multiple generations and shoot a 12-point buck.
Whether you’re stalking this year with those you live with or over Zoom, happy hunting!
As your VP-Elect, Gay Pride Month is one of my favorite childhood memories. Grandpa P.V. Gopalan had a huge smile on his face all June in anticipation of the big parade thru Chennai.
Whether you’re fisting this year with those you live with or over Zoom, happy Gay Pride Month!
Our Ramadan feasts are one of my favorite childhood memories. Grandma Gopalan would cook the pork roast in wine sauce and we'd gather around across multiple generations and gorge all afternoon. Whether you’re fasting this year with those you live with or over Zoom, happy Ramadan!
Moderna doesn't report quite so high Vaccine Efficacy for over 65s: 86.4%.
"The VE in this analysis when stratified by age
group was 95.6% (95% CI: 90.6%, 97.9%) for participants 18 to <65 years of age and 86.4%
(95% CI: 61.4%, 95.5%) for participants ≥65 years of age."
"Throughout the safety follow-up period to date, there
were three reports of facial paralysis (Bell’s palsy) in the vaccine group and one in the placebo
group"
I think Pfizer had 4 Bell's Palsy in vaccine and 0 in placebo, so that's 7 cases for 35k inoculated with either.
Joe Biden, Esq.: "And let's have a big hand for Kamala Harris, the first Vice-President to be black and American Indian. I mean, Native Indian. No, she's American-Asian. Sorry, Asian-Asian. I mean, she's a Person of Colored. Just look at her!"
I look forward to Joe trying to remember the phrase "Tamil Brahmin" in reference to Harris:
"Kamala, I'm proud to say, is America's first ever Vice President to be Top Ramen."
And who can forget Joe Biden's moving eulogy for George Floyd?
"We are gathered here today to remember our dearly beloved Boy George. I mean, Pink Floyd."
“That bastard isn’t gonna get away with this. I mean, what is going on in this country when a scumsucker like that can get away with sandbagging a Doctor of Education? You're talking to a Doctor of Education!” -- Dr. Jill Biden, "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '20"
"You scurvy shyster bastard," I said. "Watch your language! You're talking to a Doctor of Education!...Pay no attention to this swine," I said to the hitchhiker. "He can't handle the medicine. Actually, we're both Doctors of Education ..."
-- Dr. Jill Biden
We were somewhere around DC on the edge of the city when the drugs began to take hold. And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car. "What are these goddamn animals?"
