Sunday 23 August 23:29:02 CDT 1787545742 JM: It seems we have another week or more of too hot for anything outside. You know something of what people did before air conditioning but I hope some mischievous time traveler doesn't decide to pick me up and take me back for a taste. You had a few generations of forebears here in Arkansas but the heat was probably the just one of many problems and in any case was only annoying for a couple of months." AS: Yeah, you always got heat and might get a tornado. Likely to get some ice and bad ice storm slightly more frequent than tornadoes. Flooding a little more than tornadoes, mainly heat just shuts you down for a few weeks of just about nothing. Like now. JM: So wanna talk about... two or three threads I see. Where do we start? AS: Actually I see two or three twisted together, like an electric core. The hot ones are our perpetrators and a ground... well, something like that. JM: What are the hot ones? AS: Actually there's a wire for the perps and one for their apologists. You got two guys that behaved badly and suffered different degres of accountability but in both cases there was no shortage of people trying to cover for them because of their skin. For some you judge a person by the color of their skin when character has no content. So the CRAWL and DARVO begins. JM: What are those? AS: CRAWL goes way back for me, allegedly it was an IBM sales technique. That's according to the Burroughs, NCR, and other mainframe makers. Combat Real Argument With Lies. When the customer asks you about a deficiency - alleged by a competitor or two - you just claim that it doesn't exist of that the competitor was lying. Not that they might well have been but.... anyway just lie and if they can't prove you're lying... at least you've sown doubt. JM: What's CRAWL? AS: That's a fairly new on on me. It means Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. Plenty of that here. JM: The Anthony case began over a year ago while the Arday case came to light only recently and was quickly over. How did the Anthony case get started? AS: Well, you know he's a high school that killed another high school kid at a track meet. Place called Frico, Texas. About a couple hundred thousand in the north part of the conglomeration around Plano. There was a track meet at a high school and during a rain delay. Austin Metcalf - the victim - was was in a tent with others of his team. Along with his twin brother. A little monster who at the time rejoiced in the name of Karmelo Anthony came in and stabbed Austin and he died quite promptly. The little monster fled but didn't get far and was apprehended quickly JM: He rejoiced? AS: I doubt he's rejoicing much these days. JM: Yeah. Just like that? AS: Pretty much. Metcalf asked him to leave because it wasn't his school's tent and he stabbed him. JM: That's... OK, streets of Chicago or St. Louis or I can see that but.. AS: Or Houston, Little Rock, Philly, Detroit... JM: Yeah.a |

AS: The demographics in Frisco would suggest very little of that type of crime. They have about one a year. JM: Anyone have any ideas why he did it? AS: Karmelo Sincere Anthony was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. JM: Oh, I see. Sincere? AS: Yep. Not one of the weirder names... well maybe it is but once it went down that road.... anyway he seems to have had both his parents. So one of the most common elements of a dysfunctional youth of any color is absent - or maybe his old man was rotten so there's that. Whatever the case he was a defective specimen and if he hadn't killed Austin Metcalf he probably would have killed someone or other before long. Unfortunately it was a fine specimen of humanity. JM: A white boy. AS: Look at where the homocides are. Chicago, Memphis St Louis... they kill each other... JM: Blacks kill blacks. AS: It is what it is. Once in a great while - by comparison - a white person kills a white person. Or two or more but it's rare. Asians kill Aians occasionally, whites rarely, blacks once in a while. The latter being Asians killing blacks who attack them mostly. JM: I can't deny that. Some people do though. AS: Yeah, the fact is white people don't kill each other that much and Asian people don't kill each other that much and even among Hispanics there isn't that much killing. JM: And? AS: Stop already. Really want to go there or deal with the present subject? JM: Just kidding, I get it. AS: It's a societal problem. These cases... they expose the rot in the minds of the people who run those institutions. Mostly so-called news media. From what information is readily avaliable it seems that Karmelo Anthony was about average for a black kid from a deep south city. Background information, how old he was when his family moved to Texas, I haven't found. Probably wouldn't have made much difference. JM: He was going to school in a predomintally white area. One wonders why he would be so belligerent in that environment. AS: Yeah, well.... sometimes young black guys from places like Chicago, St. Louis, wherever.... Baton Rouge is over half black. It seems that some of them don't.... they figure they can act the way they did in friendly territory. JM: Frisco is half white and less than ten percent black. So the victim probably wasn't around black people that much. Perhaps he didn't know the need for caution. AS: Very likely. JM: So what might have a verbal altercation between two white guys... became fatal. Still just stabbing a guy you'd never seen before... there's no kind of... was the killer a defective person, a bad apple that hadn't fallen to the bottom yet? AS: Possibly. Not much information about his past is available. How old he was when his family moved to Texas I don't know. If he lived in Baton Rouge for... to the age of thirteen or so he would have been involved in the local culture so maybe being in fights, gang activity, may have been in his past but.... |

JM: His behavior seems... thuggish. Or maybe he had a bad attitude generally. AS: Or didn't like white people. That seems to have been a factor whatever his other issues. JM: With the demographics most of the guys in that tent would have been white. Wonder why he didn't worry about the other kids defending Austin? AS: He would know from experience that white people don't.... gang up.... and the attack was so sudden that there was nothing they could do. JM: It was rather sudden and apparently there was no time to intervene. AS: They may have not seen that much.... being nearly all white. JM: I was looking at the numbers, trying to figure out where ten percent went. They're Hispanic, Latino or whatever. AS: Yeah. Latinos, I guess that's the proper term now, are separated from white in Wickedpedia numbers. They only have significant crime in areas where they are the majority or close to it. JM: If a Latino murders a 'white', i.e. non-Latino, do you ever see a massive social media campaign to demonize the white victim and deny the guilt of the Latino? AS: Not in my memory. There aren't that many as Lations generally kill other Latinos - and the homicide rate is still fairly low compared to black-on-black. Or black-on-white or black-on-Asian for that matter. The campaign was mostly professional malcontents, any excuse will to to attack white people and defend a black perpetrator. JM: That's it? AS: Racism among whites is so scarce it has to be manufactured, the Patriot Front and other fake "white supremacist" organizations. The SPLC funding some of those. Asians, Latinos, whites are too busy living normal lives to do that. Perhaps there should be more pushback. JM: Reading a few of those posts it does seem they're being roundly ridiculed. AS: Looking at Facebook, since Twitter became X and a free fire zone it seems to have done the same. Yeah, the defenders got short shrift. To be fair they are a rather small part of the population, maybe twenty percent of the population. If there weren't so many people who vote for any candidate with a D without even knowing anything about them except the name in the campaign ads, or actually just the letter D, there would be no Democrat party to speak of. JM: You think he got off easy? AS: (laughs) You're kidding, right. I don't know how Frisco votes, it looks one of those places lefties go to escape the conditions they created where they live and then screw that place up. So maybe some bleeding hearts who figure any killer with black skin was oppressed. Or they feared riots - I dunno if the BLM crowd has the money to sponsor riots since USAID was shut down. Or they didn't want to be called mean for giving the little monster what he deserved. JM: What does he deserve? AS: I would like to see a federal hate crime case and life in prison but that won't happen. He can be out after seventeen years or so and even in Texas probably will be unless he manages to screw up pretty bad. JM: This has been, was since it seems to have died down, running concurrently with the Arday case. That seems remarkably similar in terms of people defending the indefensible and the reaction. AS: Yeah, a lot of it was institutional. To be expected, the exposure was embarrassing for Cambridge and the knowledge that pretty much all of them were doing the same thing... still are doing it even after having some scandals of their own.

JM: The commentary seemed to pretty much the same as well. AS: Yeah. Facebook is more the common people, X has a bit more up-scale intellect - the conservative side anyway - but there wasn't as much activity. Since almost all was prompted by the apologist posts I guess they chose Facebook for the largerst audience. JM: Karmel Anthony and Jason Arday - besides the defense of both in the face of indisputable proof - any similarities between the subjects? AS: Anthony was just a kid - a already broken and dangerous kid - while Arday was 40-something. Younger when he began his grift but... JM: Shouldn't he have known better by that age, even thirty-something? AS: He was getting away with it so why change? That he did away with himself surprised me - at worst he would have lost his job and couldn't carry on with his fantasy but he probably could have lived well enough or even wormed his way back in somewhere. JM: You think any other institution would take him? I guess considering the reaction one or more probably would have. AS: Quite likely. DEI has taken a big hit along with other woke stuff but academia is slow to change and won't change unless it takes a big financial hit. He could have gotten some position somewhere and if he didn't try the same thing again have a lucrative career. JM: If he didn't do it again. AS: Yeah, that's the catch. He probably wouldn't be able to. JM: You pointed out that several people noticed that Jason Arday jokes might overtake Chuck Norris jokes in numbers if not popularity. AS: (laughs) Yeah, attributing Chuck Norris hyperbole to Arday's ludicrous claims... anyway Chuck Norris jokes will be around for a long time. Chuck Norris movies, like Clint Eastwood and John Wayne movies. Jason Arday has already about disappeared. JM: Want to take a break before we do the other thing? AS: Sure, I need a drink and a smoke? Any favorites? Long as it's bourbon. JM: Surprise me.
JM: Pretty good. What did I get? AS: It's my blend of Turkey 101 - 60/40 bourbon to rye. There's just two shots with three of Coke. JM: I like it. OK, this isn't very pleasant but the Clancy case went to the jury today. I'm not gonna ask you to guess at what will happen because even in a garden-variety murder case you never know. What's your assessment of the trial? AS: About what I expected. As Arthur Kirkland explained it to the jury - that's Al Pacino's character in ...and Justice for All - ever see it? JM: Not that I remember. AS: 1970s, actually '79 so almost '80s but a while ago. He's about to make his opening statement. He tells the jury that the general idea of justice is to find the truth. The problem is, he says, that both sides want to win. They want to win and truth and justice don't enter into it. This was pretty much along those lines. JM: That seeems to be the case generally. |

AS: To be fair any prosecutor anywhere will do that and in a case with dead children they could hardly not try to put her away forever. Not that it is likely to make much difference to her given her physical and probable mental state but it's a high-profile case that can make careers, or break them. So they go for the kill. But to go easy... the deed is such that you can't. Not if it's a white woman - a dark-skinned killer of several white children they don't fear consequences for disposing of it with a plea bargain. JM: Iryna Zarutska. AS: Yeah. She wasn't a child but children have been the victims of such crimes and the perp gets away with little or sometimes no punishment. But a white woman under the influence of a dozen or more chemicals who did what people in that condition will sometimes do. The probability is that her body under the control of... you could legitimately describe it as demonic possession. JM: You have first-hand experience. AS: I had six of those drugs in me and I was so far from the real world... but I acted normal except to some family members who knew that I was talking about things that had never happened.... I was in a state of hallucination the entire time. Had I not been tied to a hospital bed and walking arould loose I might well have done sommething antisocial. JM: You wrote to the lawyer. AS: Yeah, when he finally got back to me he said thanks and he had some expert witnesses. JM: How did they do? AS: It wasn't televised so I just got the pieces that were on the news. They did as well as they could I suppose, I don't know if there was as much emphasis on the chemical effect but they go with what they have. The prosecution did the same, said the defense witnesses were wrong. Without a documented case like mine - hospital records, witnesses - the defense would have a hard time making an impression. JM: You wrote him again during the trial. AS: Yeah, sent him a copy of a letter I sent to Clay and Buck. Probably if they hadn't been talking about it so much I wouldn't have. The fact is when you kill children... JM: No matter the facts. But how many people have the facts to offer? AS: Me and maybe one or two others. Most don't survive what I did and I'm surprised she didn't die from all those drugs. JM: I suspect you're right in it not making much difference to her. Prison or a mental institution for life. A manslaughter verdict would still be a pretty long sentence. And crippled what kind of life could she have anywhere? AS: The first pill was a step onto a dark road and it only got worse. It's hard to guess what her mind is like - it was two, maybe three months before my head cleared up after I left the hospital. And having to live with what she did, even if she doesn't know she did it, it probably won't be much of a life. JM: She was part of the medical industry and bought the whole package, and it virtually killed her, and did kill her three children. AS: Yeah. I need another drink, you ready? JM: Yeah. |
