I’ve had it just about up to here with the whiny libtards who think the solution to our so-called “gun problem” is to limit the availability of guns. Yeah, sure, that’s logical. What would be next? Age limits for driver’s licenses? Restrictions on dynamite sales? Hey, Deep State, you can have my anthrax spores when you pry them out of my cold, dead hands.
So you can dismiss that “gun control” claptrap, which is progressive like Lou Gehrig’s disease is progressive. But there is an obvious solution — one we learned of back in the early 1980s, when David Stockman ran the Ronald Reagan (praised be He) Office of Management and Budget. It’s the supply side, stupid. You don’t go after guns. What would we arm our kindergarten teachers with, for God’s sake? No, you simply weed out all of the mass shooters before they exercise their sacred Second Amendment rights in a large crowd of careless large-crowd-formers.
Boom! (No, you don’t need to shelter in place. That was just me being triumphant.)
OK, here’s where the socialists chime in, “How do you know who is a genuine threat?” Um, maybe because THEY ADVERTISE IT. The answer is literally right before our eyes. Thank you, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and Fox News for giving us a clear-eyed savant like Greg Gutfeld to recognize the utterly obvious. This was him Tuesday on The Five, demonstrating his keen powers of observation:
I think every one of these cases, these fiends fit a type. They are these very White, unstable, disturbing-looking people. I feel you can’t judge a book by its cover, but in some cases, you can. I think there’s a correlation between disturbing, unstable behavior, and people who deliberately try to make themselves look unappealing and unapproachable. That could be their cry for help. If you look at Antifa that's how they look. I think there is a red flag there that a lot of people in the name of what we will not point out and go — when someone is deliberately trying to deface themselves permanently, or look in a way that makes them unapproachable, what are they trying to tell you? If beauty is the guide of what is possible, then what is deliberate ugliness? Why does somebody do that?
Right? Start with tattoos. Anyone inked on the face or neck is self-identifying as a fiend. Eliminate them. (Not with a death sentence, necessarily, but with indefinite confinement to a Rebranding Camp.) Same goes with scraggly, unappealing facial hair. That is simply inexplicable if not as a signal of homicidal premeditation.
Goth? CALL THE S.W.A.T. TEAM NOW!
May I direct your particular attention to Greg’s most important point about the criminally unkempt? “If you look at Antifa, that’s how they look.” He’s said a mouthful there! Now, again, the lefty purveyors of violence and tyranny would have you believe that antifa is mainly a mythical beast, like Leprechauns and moderate Republicans. They describe antifa as a loose online confederation sharing no secret passwords or table of organization, but only the mutual determination to counter rightwing “extremism.” Blah blah blah. And they’ll always invoke this biased passage in Commie-pedia:
An analysis of the database conducted by The Guardian in July 2020 found no murders linked to antifa or anti-fascism since 1994. According to The Guardian, the only death resulting from an anti-fascist attack recorded in the database was that of Willem van Spronsen, who was shot dead by police while allegedly firebombing a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Tacoma, Washington. In contrast, the study highlighted the fact that 329 people were killed by American white supremacists or other right-wing extremists during the same period.
Fake News, anyone? As for the predictably silly objection — How would Gutfeld know what antifa thugs look like? When they do show up in the flesh, they famously wear black balaclavas! — oh, don’t worry. Greg knows. He knows so many things. He can look at shaky video footage of a demonstration and practically smell the piercings and overapplied black eyeshadow. How? Well, lemme ask you this: How does he call himself a comedian when he isn’t even remotely funny? Noodle on that one a while, Sherlock.
So let’s just agree that, once again, conservative America has solved a problem that so mystified the self-appointed elites for a century. But in fairness, I must say, not all of the insight is coming from the Bier Hall Putsch side of the aisle. On Wednesday, a story broke in the Daily Beast, which is typically the paper of record for Democratic pedophilia. But this piece fully subscribed to the tell-a-book-by-its-cover school of threat management. Intrepid Beast reporters spent days locating the childhood acquaintances of the alleged Highland Park mass-killer. They stitched together a frightening quilt out of numerous “red flags.”
Another person who was in cub scouts with Crimo said he lost touch with him after middle school, but remembered him as a quiet, soft-spoken skate-park kid.
“He definitely got judged a little for his goth-like image,” the former acquaintance told The Daily Beast. “In Highland Park, it’s not the most typical thing.”
Ethan Absler, another student who was a year ahead of Crimo in high school, insisted the suspect had “behavioral red flags.” Specifically, Absler said, he was very defiant in class, incessantly promoted his music, and was “the type of student where teachers realized that they were going to have to discipline him in another way or be more realistic about his behavior.”
Quiet. Soft-spoken. Skater. Defiant. What do you want, a signed confession? Tell me: Since when are normal adolescents ever defiant? Obviously, all such kids should be identified early in life, when they can safely undergo electroshock treatments and/or be placed in an asylum. In the case of the Highland Park kid, the Daily Beast discovered even more telltale signs. At the age of 9, he joined a Nerf football league. And his parents were often the last to pick him up after school. And, are you ready for this? “Love of hip-hop.” How blind do you have to be to look at such a child and not see a budding psychopath?
Now before I hurt my back bending over backwards for this radical-left publication, let me just clarify two points:
1) I did not take the Daily Beast’s bait about the suspect “hoarding 16 knives, a dagger, and a sword” in recent years. I don’t see how that is a red flag of anything but deep patriotism in a young American who honors the constitution and Freedom itself, enough to protect himself and loved ones in the event of attack by an onslaught of pavisors in a medieval king’s guard.
2) NO, when the Daily Beast story said …
On Tuesday, police revealed a September 2019 incident in which Crimo allegedly threatened to “kill everyone” in his family
… I did NOT think, “Oh, there’s four days of the reporters’ Nerf-football-tidbit-gathering rendered irrelevant by an official release alleging actual antisocial behavior. I don’t know which is more astonishing: that this troubled kid was permitted to own multiple assault rifles, or that the Daily Beast reported threats of murder alongside all the other idiotic supposed warning signs.”
No, siree. What I thought was, “If you cull the Cub Scouts of quiet, unattractive boys and put them under lock and key before it’s too late, only stylish normal people will own guns.”
Bob, the distinction that needs to be made is not what they look like but whether they look like ME. Every ME should then use his Constitutionally authorized assault rifle to eliminate anyone that is HIM, HER, and all those who identify as THEM.. Once the smoke clears, if anyone is left standing , we will be able to see the NEW America.
Oh, Bob, that's it! You and Greg Gutfeld hit the nail on the head! Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. I wouldn't have known to be suspicious of quiet Cub Scouts otherwise.
