Mychal Bell of the Jena 6, Steals Stuff and Botches His Own Suicide
Dec 30th
Mychal Bell, the thug who stomped on the face of Justin Barker, was busted trying to steal clothing on Christmas Eve, because when you commit a hate crime and thousands of foolish blacks march across the city on your behalf shouting “No Justice, No Peace,” it entitles you to steal stuff on the night baby Jesus was born. Anyways, Mychal was embarrassed that he was busted acting like the criminal he is so he took a .22 caliber handgun, which, naturally belongs in the hands of a known felon, and shot himself in the chest. He botched the job of course and lived. He turned an epic suicide into a suicide fail.
From the AP here:
A teen convicted in the “Jena Six” beating case shot himself in the chest and was taken to the hospital Monday, days after his arrest on a shoplifting charge.
Mychal Bell’s wound isn’t life threatening. The 18-year-old used a .22-caliber firearm in the shooting around 7:40 p.m.
Cops believe Bell was upset over media coverage of the arrest last week.
The severity of the original charges brought widespread criticism and eventually led to more than 20,000 people converging in September 2007 on the tiny central Louisiana town of Jena for the largest civil rights march in decades.
Bell was in the news again after he was arrested on Dec. 24 and booked on charges of shoplifting, resisting arrest and simple assault. Bell tried to steal several shirts and a pair of jeans from a department store and fled when a security guard and off-duty police officer tried to detain him. After they found him hiding under a car, Bell “swung his arms wildly” and one of his elbows struck the security guard with a glancing blow. He was freed on $1,300 bond.
I’m sure the gun was stolen. No one is supposed to sell a firearm to a guy who attempted to murder a white boy. He should have stolen a bigger gun. Hey Michal- Suicide?

Dec 30th
Maine East High School Ass. Principal Mike Pressler finished his school work Monday afternoon, locked his door to his office, fought traffic to get to the lakeshore outside of Chicago, and publicly engaged in oral and anal sex with a member of the Blue Man Group, because, sex on the beach with one of those freaky performers is just too good to pass up for a public educator.
Don’t let the Blue Man Group babysit!
From WBBM here:
A Blue Man Group actor and the assistant principal of Maine East High School were arrested at a park along the lakefront on the North Side and charged with public indecency Monday night.
Darren Stephens, 45, and Michael Pressler, 48, were arrested without incident about 5:45 p.m. in the 4500 block of North Simonds Drive, police said.
Pressler, who is the Asst. Principal at Maine East High School in northwest suburban Park Ridge, and Stephens, who is a performer with the Blue Man Group, were both charged with public indecency, a misdemeanor, after they were found engaged in a sex act on Chicago Park District property.
Is it ironic that the High School mascot is the Blue Demon? Hey, speaking of the Blue Man dudes laying pipe, here is an old video for the Intel chip:

Dec 30th
Cynthia McKinney is the wild-haired moonbat and former member of Congress who failed as the green party Presidential candidate this past year. Not satisfied at being an attention whore for having failed her Presidential bid, she wants to use the Israel/Hamas war in Gaza to put herself back in the spotlight. She, along with a bunch of other moonbats, flew to Cypress to get aboard a yacht to attempt to run Israel’s blockade to give a paltry collection of items they call “aid” to the people of the Gaza Strip.
Noooooo! Its the Israeli Navy! Abandon Ship!
From the Atlanta Journal Constitution here:
A boat carrying international peace activists, including former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, and medical supplies to the embattled Gaza Strip sailed back into a Lebanese port on Tuesday after being turned back and damaged by the Israeli navy.
The boat, which set off from Cyprus Monday wanted to make a statement and deliver medical supplies to embattled Gaza. The trip’s organizers said the boat was clearly in international waters, 90 miles off the coast of Gaza, at the time of its close encounter with the Israeli navy.
“Our boat was rammed three times, twice in the front and one on the side,” McKinney told CNN Tuesday morning. “Our mission was a peaceful mission. Our mission was thwarted by the aggressiveness of the Israeli military.”
Yigal Palmor, a spokesman for Israel’s Foreign Ministry, denied there had been any shooting although the two ships had made “physical contact.”
Palmor said there was no response to a radio warning to the Dignity, and the vessel then tried to out-maneuver the Israeli patrol boat, leading to the collision.
International aid to Gaza is still being delivered by Israel and Egypt. This was purely a stunt by a group of anti-semites who were hoping to provoke a reaction. Hot Air has more. Thanks to Michelle Malkin for the original story.

Dec 30th
It pisses me off that liberal newspaper writers have to trot out complete frauds like Coconut Grove Witch Sandra Cheryl Richardson during the Christmas season in a bald attempt to promote Wiccans and the Winter Solstice festival they celebrate. The stupid bitch prattles on in this article in the Miami Herald about her psychic powers and how she is a paranormal investigator, which means she makes a living ripping off stupid people. She should be a real wiccan like these two fellas in the picture below. For their winter solstice, they didn’t screw around with gay tarot cards and chanting the winds around a spicy-smelling candle. They gashed a little boy- the nephew of one of them- in the throat with a knife, killing him instantly. They needed his head to make a wealth potion. Blessed Be!
These are real practitioners of Wicca. They don’t mess around with stupid incense and candles.
From the Uganda Daily Monitor here:
Police have arrested three men for the Boxing Day ritual murder of a 12-year-old boy, Eriya Kalule.
The three suspects confessed to police that they had murdered Kalule after receiving money from a witch.
The suspects are the witchdoctor, Mr Joseph Kitamirike, who allegedly ordered the sacrifice of the child. His accomplices are Mr Patrick Makonzi, 19, an uncle to the slain child, and Mr Patrick Otuba, 38, of Nambula village.
Mr Makonzi offered his nephew as a sacrifice and later helped Mr Otuba to hack the teenage boy to death. He also tasked Mr Otuba to dig up a grave of a man who had died rich and get him the bones, along with the child’s head for use in performing the rituals.
Mr Otuba paid Mr Makonzi Shs50,000 and asked him to find him a child for sacrifice. “He is the one who brought the money and said we were going to get more if I got them my nephew’s head,” Mr Makonzi said, pointing at Mr Otuba.
Mr Makonzi said he lured his nephew to a thicket during lunch hours on Friday, promising that they were going to eat fene (jack fruit).
Mr Otuba was already waiting and they dragged the boy away and slit his throat, killing him instantly, Mr Makonzi said.
The wiccans in Africa probably laugh their black asses off at the posers here in the US who profess to worship the “goddess” and wear all black and purple and put glitter in their hair.

Dec 29th
The last we saw John Lennon’s ghost, it was on a pay per view special where he spoke from beyond the grave. Now we know what John had to say thanks to the One Laptop per Child program, the organization that is deliberately throwing away one billion dollars on a stupid laptop giveaway.
I had originally planned to talk about Rich Steinnon’s excellent post here at ThreatChaos who, at the request of the OLPC president, posted a video depicting kids using the windup laptop instead of being child prostitutes in Malaysia. I commented on his post that I thought the OLPC program was a huge waste of resources and will do nothing to deter child prostitution or poverty or warfare.
His response was that it was worth a try. Kinda like John Lennon’s plea to just give peace a chance. It sounds nice and would work if the world ran on rainbows, butterflies and unicorn poop. But only capitalism can erase poverty. If those poor communities had good infrastructure and meaningful products to produce at a profit, those poor kids might have their own money to buy their very own laptops. And if they had their own money, I don’t think they would buy anything with a freakin’ hand crank.
See my previous OLPC posts here, here, here and here.

Dec 29th
I used to play soccer when I was a kid. I wasn’t very good at it, and often used aggressiveness in place of skill while on the field. I never scored any goals, but I had my share of fouls. I stopped playing mostly because I just wasn’t improving and I got bored. And I remember the shinpads being either sweaty or scratchy. But I would have played longer if soccer was played the way that Striker David Pratt plays the game. He set a world record for the fastest red card. 3 seconds into the game, he took out a player from the other team.
I laughed when I read this from Reuters here:
A player with English minor league club Chippenham Town has set a record for the fastest-red card when he was sent off for a wild tackle three seconds after kickoff.
Striker David Pratt, 21, was dismissed in a Southern Premier League game against Bashley on Saturday.
In 2000 an English amateur player, Lee Todd, was sent off after two seconds when he responded to the referee’s whistle to start the game by saying “f*ck me, that was loud!” and was dismissed for foul and abusive language.

Dec 28th
Meet Andy Burnham. This clueless idiot is the United Kingdom’s “culture minister.” Instead of working to pretect British culture from completely eroding to the point where the UK is Britainistan due to massive influx of Islamic immigrants, he instead wants to scrub anything that is harmful to children from the internet because free speech is not in the public’s “best interest.” Hey Andy, have you ever heard of Content Filtering?
Doe-eyed Douchebag wants to destroy the Internet
From the Telegraph here:
Internet sites could be given cinema-style age ratings as part of a Government crackdown on offensive and harmful online activity to be launched in the New Year, the Culture Secretary says. Andy Burnham says he believes that new standards of decency need to be applied to the web. He is planning to negotiate with Barack Obama’s incoming American administration to draw up new international rules for English language websites.
The Cabinet minister describes the internet as “quite a dangerous place” and says he wants internet-service providers (ISPs) to offer parents “child-safe” web services.
ISPs, such as BT, Tiscali, AOL or Sky could also be forced to offer internet services where the only websites accessible are those deemed suitable for children.
His plans to rein in the internet, and censor some websites, are likely to trigger a major row with online advocates who ferociously guard the freedom of the world wide web.
However, Mr Burnham said: “There is content that should just not be available to be viewed. That is my view. Absolutely categorical. This is not a campaign against free speech, far from it; it is simply there is a wider public interest at stake when it involves harm to other people. We have got to get better at defining where the public interest lies and being clear about it.”
It is too bad the UK is powerless to change the way that their government keeps tightening the screws on their freedoms. And even Barack Obama won’t touch the Internet with a massive effort to censor websites. So while Britain’s web users will eventually only be able to access Sesamestreet.org, we Americans will still have freedom of speech online. At least for now.

Dec 27th
The week between Christmas and New Years has been co-opted into a Marxist fake holiday called Kwanzaa by a man named Ronnie Everett (aka Ron Karenga) who beat the blackness out of two women with an electrical cord. So grab your spare electrical cord from your Christmas tree and torture some black ladies and you too can have your very own holiday!
Whitey is not allowed to participate in any Kwanzaa festivities since there are seven core principles of blackness that are celebrated. Notice how Marxist they are:
- Umoja (unity)—To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race. (whitey not allowed)
- Kujichagulia (self-determination)—To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves. (whitey can kiss my ass)
- Ujima (collective work and responsibility)—To build and maintain our community together and make our brother’s and sister’s problems our problems and to solve them together. (no snitching, ever!)
- Ujamaa (cooperative economics)—To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together. (black racketeering)
- Nia (purpose)—To make our collective vocation the building and development of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness. (kill whitey)
- Kuumba (creativity)—To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it. (Bury whitey’s body)
- Imani (faith)—To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle. (kill whitey again)
People who believe in Kwanzaa should be treated with the same disdain reserved for flying saucer worshipping cultists. Not only are the beliefs made up entirely of whole cloth, but they are anti-American and genuinely racist too.

Dec 27th
Israel finally got fed up with Hamas soldiers in the Gaza Strip who kept firing homemade rockets into southern towns. So Israel opened a can of whoop ass on the soldiers. And there may have been some civilian casualties too, but hey, they voted overwhelmingly to allow Hamas to to be their government, so in a way, they were asking for it.
From the AP here:
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak says Israel’s air offensive against militant sites in Gaza “will widen as necessary.”
Barak says Israel does not intend to allow Islamic Hamas militants who rule Gaza to continue firing rockets and mortars on Israel’s southern communities.
Hamas says at least 192 Gazans were killed in the first day of the offensive and 270 were wounded.
Said Masri sat in the middle of a Gaza City street, close to a security compound, alternately slapping his face and covering his head with dust from the bombed-out building.
“My son is gone, my son is gone,” wailed Masri, 57. The shopkeeper said he sent his 9-year-old son out to purchase cigarettes minutes before the airstrikes began and now could not find him. “May I burn like the cigarettes, may Israel burn,” Masri moaned.
See? That’s why Islamic supporters of terror shouldn’t smoke. It will stunt the growth of their children. And who the hell sells tobacco to 9 year olds? Totally irresponsible. I hereby call upon the United Nations to ban smoking in all Palestinian territories because smoking has tragic consequences to the children there.

Dec 26th
Meet Melissa Koehn. She was busted by the cops in Minnesota dry humping one of her students in her car. Its not what you would expect from a social studies teacher and girls’ basketball coach at a Christian private school, unless you are a regular reader of this blog, in which case, this doesn’t surprise you a bit.
The video is added mostly for the lulz because this thread is now epic.
From the Weekly Vice here:
Melissa Diana Koehn, a 30-year-old teacher and coach at St. Croix Lutheran High School in West St. Paul, Minnesota has been arrested on felony sex charges of 4th-degree criminal sexual conduct after a police officer discovered her making out with a 17-year-old female student in a ‘fully reclined’ position inside a parked vehicle.
Koehn and the student each admitted to having sexual contact, beginning in August, 2008. The relationship then continued, leading to multiple instances of sexual contact between Koehn and the student.
The student’s parents admitted to authorities that the teacher had slept in their daughter’s room on a number of occasions, but believed Koehn slept on the floor. They told authorities they were unaware of any sexual activity that had occurred.
What the hell is wrong with the parents of the student? Never let anyone, much less a teacher share a bedroom with your kids. The parents should have all of their kids put in a foster home because they are too stupid to be allowed to raise kids.
According to a Google search of the school’s website, this picture shows a group of kids who went to the Dominican Republic on a field trip. I don’t know if any of the girls in the photo are the victim in this case, but if the victim was indeed taken out of the country for the purposes of sex, more charges should be filed.
After all, the best way to get the school to pay for a romantic getaway for a perverted teacher and her sexcrime victim would be to have the girl take her Social Studies class. Oh sure, the official cover was that they were going to the Dominican Republic to teach Vacation Bible School and do a “mission outreach.” But instead of teaching bible verses, Koehn was busy seducing her student.

Dec 24th
Billy Powers has been building gigantic snowmen in his front yard for the past few years. But the neighbors and the city council wishes Billy would stop doing it. In fact, the mayor of Anchorage Alaska even issued Billy a cease and desist order. But despite the best efforts of local government and law enforcement, the giant snowman appeared there anyways. And Billy Powers claims its a Christmas miracle.
From the AP here:
A giant snowman named Snowzilla has mysteriously appeared again this year — despite the city’s cease-and-desist order.
Someone again built the giant snowman in Billy Powers’ front yard in an east Anchorage neighborhood. Snowzilla reappeared before dawn Tuesday.
Powers is not taking credit. When questioned Tuesday afternoon, he insisted Snowzilla just somehow happened, again.
For the last three years, Snowzilla — to the delight of some and the chagrin of others — has been a very large feature in Powers’ yard. In 2005, Snowzilla rose 16 feet. He had a corncob pipe and a carrot nose and two eyes made out of beer bottles.
This year, Snowzilla is estimated to be 25 feet tall. He’s wearing a black stovepipe hat and scarf.
City officials this year deemed Snowzilla a public nuisance and safety hazard. A cease-and-desist order was issued. The city tacked a public notice on Powers’ door.
City officials said the structure increased traffic to the point of endangerment and that the snowman itself was unsafe.
I think it looks like harmless fun and the town council should take a chill pill. If you want to help Billy fight the snow misers you can donate to his defense fund at Snowzilla.org.

Dec 24th
A bunch of spoiled rich white people were convicted of terrorizing families of workers that supplied HuntingdonLife Sciences with goods and services. You see, Huntingdon Life Sciences is a group that provides the necessary animal testing for pharmaceuticals, food additives, dyes, veterinary products and other items we come in contact with to make sure they don’t cause illness or harm to people. Eco-terrorists want to destroy the company by any means necessary because they are idiots who think that animals like rats and dogs are a higher life form. A video from the Telegraph is below:
After massive raids on the international eco-terror group that has ties to the Animal Liberation Front, a known US-domestic terror group, several scumbags were convicted of waging a campaign of blackmail. They are going to jail. From Reuters here:
Four British animal rights activists were found guilty on Tuesday of blackmailing companies which supplied Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS), a firm that conducts tests on animals.
Gerrah Selby, 20, Daniel Wadham, 21, Gavin Medd-Hall, 45, and Heather Nicholson, 41, were convicted of orchestrating a campaign of blackmail against the Cambridgeshire-based company between 2001 and 2007.
Three others — Gregg Avery, Natasha Avery and Daniel Amos — pleaded guilty to conspiracy to blackmail. Trevor Holmes, 51, was cleared.
The activists were part of a group called Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, which used tactics such as false allegations of pedophilia against managers of supplier companies, hoax parcel bombs, criminal damage and threatening phone calls to force them to cut links with HLS.
Another tactic was to send used sanitary towels or needles in the mail, saying they were contaminated with the AIDS virus.
Small-minded idiots love the cute fuzzy puppies so bad that bio-terrorism is the only alternative. I hope they rot in the hole for several years.

Dec 24th
When Obama rolled out his iconic logo when he was running for President, many people criticized him for having the audacity to market himself like a soft drink and even those on the left criticized him for ripping off the Pepsi logo.
Obama even held his convention at the Pepsi Center. Here is the original Pepsi logo.
And Here is the Obama logo.
Personally, I always thought that the Obama logo looked much more like the Japanese battle flag of World War 2, but I do understand how many people thought that Obama may have borrowed heavily from the Pepsi logo.
But now Pepsi may be stealing right back from the Obama campaign logo with its own rebranding. Check out what I saw in the grocery store yesterday:
The new pepsi logo looks just like the Obama logo, but now the white area, which to me looks like a sunrise, is offset. Watch when I rotate the logos and compare the two-
Are the Pepsi people trying to capitalize on Obama’s popularity? Both Obama and Pepsi are just fizzy failures. Whatever, I’m sticking to Diet Coke.

Dec 24th
Like many towns across the Northwestern United States, the past two weeks brought unexpected downpours of pure global warming to Seattle in the form of ice and snow. But unlike sensible towns, Seattle refused to do anything to melt the snow off of the roadways. Instead, they allowed a bigmouth assistant to the Department of Transportation to announce to the city that not only were the main streets unusable, but the police department was paralyzed too. They refused to salt the roads because of unfounded scientific threats to the local environment. Meanwhile, citizens died in car crashes and no police were around to stop the violence and rape against women.
But what do I care? Let the fools in Seattle kill themselves with their self-imposed Darwinism. The only thing that would make it better is if it happened to San Francisco. From an incredulous SeattleTimes here:
“We’re trying to create a hard-packed surface,” said Alex Wiggins, chief of staff for the Seattle Department of Transportation. “It doesn’t look like anything you’d find in Chicago or New York.”
(ed) Or any other town that can successfully manage snowfall, dumbass.
The city’s approach means crews clear the roads enough for all-wheel and four-wheel-drive vehicles, or those with front-wheel drive cars as long as they are using chains, Wiggins said.
The icy streets are the result of Seattle’s refusal to use salt, an effective ice-buster used by the state Department of Transportation and cities accustomed to dealing with heavy winter snows.
“If we were using salt, you’d see patches of bare road because salt is very effective,” Wiggins said. “We decided not to utilize salt because it’s not a healthy addition to Puget Sound.”
So, Wiggins admits he decided to be ineffective. In my book, that’s called failing on purpose.
Seattle also equips its plows with rubber-edged blades. That minimizes the damage to roads and manhole covers, but it doesn’t scrape off the ice, Wiggins said.
That leaves many drivers, including Seattle police, pretty much on their own until nature does to the snow what the sand can’t: melt it.
The city’s patrol cars are rear-wheel drive. And even with tire chains, officers are avoiding hills and responding on foot, according to a West Precinct officer.
Seattle’s stand against using salt is not shared by the state Department of Transportation.
Wiggins said “Here in Seattle, we’re sensitive about everything we do that impacts the environment.”
My older brother told me a story the other day about how he recently travelled to Seattle to teach a class on computer drafting and design. He described the town as being full of “people who don’t bathe and all they do is drink coffee and smoke cigarettes.” I’d like to add that they die in snowstorms. Thank God! And thanks to HotAir and Michelle Malkin for the story.

We were watching ABC Family tonight trying to get my toddler interested in trains by urging him to watch Polar Express. He seems pretty ambivalent to the whole Santa Claus, North Pole, and Polar Express thing, but he is working on pointing at trains and saying “train,” which to us as parents, is pretty cool. He already knows what cars are, mostly due to the fact that he watches Pixar’s Cars daily. Imagine our surprise when, during a commercial break for the Polar Express, we saw the Pixar Cars Toon “Mater the Greater” which is one of a three part series of Mater’s Tall Tales. The boy didn’t care all that much about a steam locomotive sliding across ice, but he was enthralled with the video below. Enjoy it while it lasts. YouTube may end up yanking it down.

Dec 22nd
My pal Robb sent along this article from Ars Technica that talks about Maryland high school kids who deliberately forge license plates of their foes and run red lights with them to stick their foes with 40 dollar fines.
From ArsTech here:
High school students in Maryland have begun playing the “Speed Camera Pimping Game,” wherein they attempt to punk the not-so-accurate cameras by creating faux license plates that can be traced back to peers and teachers they have it out for. The trend has parents and law officials worried, and it raises even more questions about the cameras’ usefulness.
Students at Montgomery High School in Maryland have discovered that they can duplicate the license plates of their archenemies by printing a Maryland plate template on a sheet of glossy photo paper and digging up a handy license plate character font. This may sound like a janky craft project at first, but these cameras are not sensitive enough to pick up the differences between these paper license plates and the real things. The students then tape the faux plate over their own and purposefully speed in order to be caught by the speed camera, causing the real owner of the license plate to receive a $40 citation in the mail.
There is something that is basically unfair in using cameras to enforce traffic laws. They should be used to monitor the effectiveness of laws in an area, and if there are frequent violations, cops should be dispatched to take care of the infractions. I hope this forces law enforcement to abandon the use of cameras to issue tickets.

Dec 21st
Dear Santa,
Its been a long year, but I’ve tried to be good. I even took a job at my current company of PlxxxCo because a pal of mine was heading up the security team and he needed loads of help to turn that company’s security around. We busted our butts, and made huge strides in getting things running like they should. But the culture at PlxxxCo was one in which employees were more interested in making excuses for bad practices than making efforts to do the right thing.
In the end my pal ran off with another company- a younger and prettier one- and left me there with a boss with more technical experience than managerial experience. And I have no confidence things will get better. So how ’bout it Santa? Can I have a new job for Christmas?
And since I’m asking, can you toss a lump of coal in the stockings of Rosie and her “Diversity” group at PlxxxCo for sending this email to staff?
“Today, we are pleased to announce the formation of two new action networks at PlxxxCo, the LGBTA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Allies) network and the African American network. These networking groups foster a culture of inclusion for minority employees by providing an opportunity to connect based on shared culture and/or characteristics.”
Culture of inclusion? I see. So inclusion means excluding straight white people. If I tried to form the White Professional Action Network at PlxxxCo, they would fire me.
Also, please toss a couple of lumps of coal into the stocking of the security architects who took more than nine months to install a few simple monitoring devices on the network. Really guys, nine months? These are the same guys who inspired me to install the sysadmin excuse applet you see on the right sidebar, and I wrote about it here.
Santa, you liked the cookies I left for you last year, right? I’ll double the servings this year, provided you let me start a new job after the first of the year. So whaddya say? Please?

I you haven’t seen that post, check it out here. But McDonalds is an equal opportunity racist offender. When they made a commercial to target an Asian audience, of course the Chinese little kids had to be Kung Fu masters and eat their nuggets with chopsticks.
Sure this could have been a tie-in with Kung-Fu Panda and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. But why couldn’t Chinese kids be seen dipping chicken parts into yummy honey, barbecue or even duck sauce?
