    A prominent Rhode Island Democrat was caught on camera belligerently chiding a cop and calling him a “d–k” during a wild DUI traffic stop where she ranted, “God forbid I was a black person, I’d be arrested.” Cranston Democratic Committee chair Maria Bucci — who is connected to the state gubernatorial candidate — berated police with a series of insults while asking them “You know who I am, right?” when she was pulled over shortly after midnight last Thursday on an East Greenwich road, the bodycam footage shows. The numerous outbursts took place while East Greenwich cops were attempting to...

    A Brown University custodian spotted depraved gunman Claudio Neves Valente pacing school hallways and peering into classrooms nearly a dozen times in the weeks before his mass shooting — and alerted campus security twice about the suspicious figure, a new report said. Derek Lisi, who has worked at the elite school for 15 years, told the Boston Globe he “knew something was off with” the mass shooter before the sicko opened fire in a lecture hall, killing two students, Dec. 13. While Lisi said he twice told the same security guard about a suspicious person lurking around the same building...

    What used to be online threats, harassment, and social-media trolling has started to bleed (literally) into the real world. Conservatives are being swatted. Homes are being shot up. Public figures are facing assassinations. Events are being shut down by threats of violence. And now, once again, a young conservative is dead. ...... but think about it: you have a visible right-wing leader on a campus where conservatives already say they’re afraid to speak freely, a violent act followed by silence and unanswered questions, and an administration with a record of caving to activist pressure. When you put it all together,...

    A Brown University professor told Ocean State Media the shooting on Saturday happened in her classroom during a review for a final exam, and that the attacker “yelled something” then opened fire. Economics professor Rachel Friedberg was not in class at the time, rather, the course was being handled by a teaching assistant. The teaching assistant survived the attack and told Friedberg what occurred. Friedberg explained, “The room has stadium seating with doors that enter at the top. He said that the shooter came in the doors, yelled something — he couldn’t remember what he yelled — and started shooting.”

    On Saturday's On the Town I played the late Ted Egan's classic song "We Got Some Bloody Good Drinkers in the Northern Territory" - and wondered afterwards: "Does it get any more Australian than that?" Answer came there less than twenty-four hours later. Wherever you live in the west, "diversity" seems to be making us all the same: one big rapey-stabby blood-drenched craphole. That said, Sydney's Jew-slaughter was of sufficient scale to obscure America's two simultaneous Hannukah attacks - in Los Angeles and at Brown University, the would-be killer and actual killer still at large. As I first wrote all...
