Daily Miscellany
Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.
Enjoy. Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

The Christmas Parade Mass Murder
According to the Times, at around 4:40 p.m. local time, a driver barreled past barricades and drove straight into the parade route, hitting dozens of people. The driver has since been identified as 39-year-old Darrell Brooks. Before the attack, witnesses said they saw Brooks outside the local Rotary building, engaged in what appeared to be a knife fight. By the time officers arrived, Brooks was already parade-bound. Waukesha police chief Daniel Thompson said police fired shots at the driver after he drove into the crowd, though they stopped to avoid injuring bystanders. Following a struggle, police took Brooks into custody Sunday night. He has been charged with five counts of intentional homicide, and his bail is currently set at $5 million.

A young child goes to a local Christmas parade. For bizarre reasons, he, other adults and a few of his friends are hit by an SUV on a mission to kill people.
But there's more to the story, a stupid, dumb reason why this nut job was running free to kill innocent people just trying to enjoy a happy time.
For Darrell Brooks had been arrested for running over the mother of his child with that same vehicle Brooks evidently considered a weapon.
Why was this man let out of jail for a bail so cheap as to serve no purpose to keep him from hurting others?
The debate now is....WHAT IDIOT CAME UP WITH THESE VIRTUALLY NONEXISTENT BAILS AND WHY?
Further, shouldn't possible harm to others be considered when setting bail?
It is so sad.

Ahmaud Arbery Shooters Guilty
It's a somewhat complicated story. Arbery was jogging through a neighborhood. He had been seen before in that same neighborhood, where he did NOT live, and there are even pictures of Arbery in various homes, some under construction. There were many robberies reported of boats and various homes.
The police were told and a bizarre suggestion of a "citizens' arrest" was made by police to the angry neighbors.
The shooting involved Arbery being chased by three of the neighbors, a father, son and another guy who somehow got entangled in this.
Understand, unlike Kyle Rittenhouse, Arberry was being chased and those involved in the shooting were doing the chasing. The story that while one of the offenders was driving alongside Arbery and was shouting for him to stop and tell him what was going on that Arbery suddenly reached out and tried to grab the offender's gun. The offender shot and killed Arbery.
All three of the participants in the shooting were found guilty and could be sentenced to life imprisonment.
The verbal battles in forums all about is that the offenders were practicing self-defense.
Then the debate gets loud. You can't came self-defense if YOU are the only one with a gun and YOU are the one doing the chasing.
It seems a fair verdict to me but trust, Arbery was up to no good. I was born at night. But not LAST NIGHT.
Nonetheless, death is not a proper punishment for stealing a few hammers.
And cops need to handle these sorts of things with more finesse.

There should be no doubt in yon readers' minds that Kyle Rittenhouse is going places.
He is handsome and personable. He speaks well. His emotional breakdown during his trial was not fake, proving his humanity.
He has been immediately interviewed and the picture above shows him with possibly the next president of the United States but no doubt a person able to help one going to a political career.
The two verdicts handed down by the juries of two recent trials, specifically the Rittenhouse trial which returned a "not guilty" decision, and the Arbery trial, which returned a "guilty" verdicts, proves one major thing: It is average people like us, myself and yon readers, who serve on juries for minimum wage, sometimes risking their lives....but it is WE THE PEOPLE who can govern better than so many of our elected masters.
For once elected the mighty start to get gifts, acclaim and lavish lives. Those of us who carry this country on our backs and serve on juries, live normal, happy lives, most of us. It's time for us to throw our elected rulers our and start electing the likes of Rittenhouse and those two juries.
I predict that Rittenhouse is really going to go places.
He's the type we need to govern in this time.

THE FLY ON THE WALL
Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog. I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation. Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear. Bear in mind my spelling. I am, after all, only a fly.
About Those Low Bailouts
The meeting I attended recently involved Valeria and members of the Democratic party, which is, as I assumed by what I heard as I munched crumbs, is letting criminals our of jail.
Valeria is in charges, as yon readers should know by now, is in charge of all Democratic politics.
"We have to start assigning bail that keeps these people in jail," one of the Democrat representatives said with some exasperation in his tone.
"That guy who took that SUV and killed those people in that Christmas parade has ruined what I know everyone thought was a good idea. But the guy had a rather worrisome criminal past and yet he gets assigned a bail of $1,000.....costs about $100 through a bail bondsman. The Democrat party might never get over this bad publicity," another Dem representative inserted.
Valeria put both of her hands on the table with arms rigid. Everyone in the room became silent, so silent that you could almost hear this fly munching crumbs.
"We needed a way to get people of color out of jail as quickly as possible, but legally. There are no limits or rules for setting bail in most states so we used that method to get out voters free."
"But now WE are the bad guys," someone in the back of the room shouted.
Valeria cast her eyes to ceiling and let out a big breath.
"We are going to instruct all Democratic DA's across the country to return to the bail-setting methods they used before this past election."
Valeria then ran her fingers through her hair and said: "We are going to meet here next week and I want you to come up with another method to keep our voters out of jail. I promised my people we'd come up with another solution."
With that Valeria walked out and as I munched more crumbs I wondered why these Democratic humans wanted to get the bad guys out of jail and why only they are the humans voting Democrat.
Next week, if the new meeting happens, I will inform yon readers what the new way will be to get Democratic criminal voters quickly out of jail.
Maybe the spider will help me figure it out.
