Possibly the best thing about living in Phoenix is the hiking. The mountains and desert let you leave the rot resulting from moonbattery behind — unless it comes after you:

The body of [29-year-old Lauren] Heike was discovered on a desert trail in the north Phoenix area on April 29. Investigators said Heike was attacked from behind and killed the day before her body was found.

She was stabbed 15 times. The motive, if any, is unknown.

Liberalism is not a victimless crime. It kills:

The overwhelming majority of interracial violence does not support the establishment narrative, because it is black on white. Consequently, stories like this tend to be ignored.

This precious life would not have been pointlessly snuffed out if her killer had not been at liberty. Based on overwhelming evidence, police have again arrested Zion William Teasley:

The 22-year-old served time in prison from July 2021 to November 2022. He had accepted a plea deal in 2020 for armed robbery, burglary, aggravated assault and kidnapping, court records show.

At the time of Lauren Heike’s murder, Teasley was on probation instead of in prison where he belonged.

Investigators suspect that the woman had been chased down over a barbed wire fence at some point during the ordeal based on the condition of her clothes. Her belongings were found scattered along the trail.

She was not likely to deserve this fate — any more than Teasley deserved to be at large.

If sanity is ever restored to this country, the liberals responsible for letting maniacs run free for twisted ideological reasons need to be held accountable as accessories to subsequent crimes.

Never let it be said that Moonbattery.com engages in viewpoint discrimination like the SEC. For the sake of fairness, let’s listen attentively as a San Francisco moonbat offers her take on criminals who get hurt by private security guards and law-abiding citizens now that local police have been marginalized in the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter riots:

Here’s what she is upset about:

San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins chose not to charge security guard Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony with murder for the April 27 shooting of black transgender 24-year-old Banko Brown, who police said was allegedly shoplifting at the time, according to The San Francisco Chronicle. Jenkins cited “credible evidence of reasonable self-defense” in the case, but some civilians at the Tuesday meeting held “Justice For Banko Brown” signs, and the woman with the buzzcut said she hated many of the board members “for the reasons that led up to” Brown’s death.

If only Soros-appointed terrorist offspring Chesa Boudin were still in office, she might have gotten the vindictive prosecution she wants — or if it had happened in New York:

A retired NYPD officer working as a Walgreens security guard says he was wrongfully charged with assault after he took down an alleged shoplifter who hit him in the head in a caught-on-video scuffle.

Tackling a shoplifting derelict who has whacked you hard enough to leave a welt is not a good idea in Manhattan under Soros-appointed DA Alvin Bragg.

The liberals who run major cities have allowed criminals to run amok, causing violence to skyrocket. Not everyone who gets hurt is an innocent victim. Those who asked for it are deified as martyrs, as exemplified in the case of the next George Floyd, Jordan Neely:

A 30-year-old homeless man who was acting erratically and antagonizing other passengers on the New York subway Monday afternoon was subdued by a 24-year-old former Marine and at least two others.

Neely had been threatening other passengers. Efforts to restrain him resulted in his death.

Radical leftists immediately rushed to impose a racial framework on the incident, retroactively canonize the career criminal, and rule Neely’s death a murder.

These radical leftists include Democrat lawmakers Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley and liberal media propagandist Joy Reid. For a summary of their arguments, refer to the video above.

Newsweek reported that Neely’s criminal record includes 42 prior arrests between 2013 and 2021, including four for assault. At the time of his death, he had one active warrant for felony assault in connection with an incident in 2021.

Since the authorities refuse to incarcerate sociopaths like Neely, private citizens must step forward to defend themselves and others. For this, leftists will try to do to them what they did to Derek Chauvin.

British commentator Carl Benjamin suggested a bias in the apoplexy over the incident, highlighting how the leftists keen to express their outrage in response to this incident were relatively silent “when a white woman was being raped by a black homeless man on the Philadelphia subway and dozens of bystanders did nothing.”

The idea of persecuting the Marine who defended other passengers from Neely is to make sure Americans cower like the bystanders in Philadelphia as we are terrorized into submission.

It turns out that even in Oregon, multiple sex crimes against children can result in incarceration, as 31-year-old Kelsey Meta Boren learned the hard way:

A “drag mom” who mentored an 11-year-old at a Satan-themed pub in Oregon has been sentenced to less than a year in prison for 11 felony child sex crimes. …

She will serve 11 months in jail and five years probation.

Well, not all that hard.

Police received a tip that she was uploading kiddy porn to the Internet. You’ll never guess her line of work.

At the time, Boren was an instructional assistant in the Fern Ridge School District [in Elmira, a suburb of Eugene].

Hunting sex criminals is easy work, thanks to social media:

Boren posted several photos of herself with an 11-year-old girl, a young drag queen called Vanellope MacPherson DuPont, on her Instagram and said she was the child’s “drag mom.”

The “11-year-old girl” is actually a boy publicly presented as a girl for the titillation of perverts.

In October, the Satan-themed Old Nick’s Pub in Eugene, Oregon, said it was hosting Vanellope for a drag queen event.

“Vanellope is here to show you what an 11-year-old drag queen can do,” a Facebook post by the pub promoting the event read.

Vanellope had been featured at Drag Queen Story Hour events at this bar named after Satan, but reportedly did not perform as planned this time. However,

Boren was part of the October event, which happened two months after she was arrested.

The spectacle featured a couple hundred protesters and supporters, some visibly armed.

Protesters opposing the events carried a sign reading, “What kind of monster exposes kids to this?”

Supporters yelled “go home Nazis” and had a banner reading “protect trans youth.”

“Protecting trans youth” involves activities that even now can result in jail time, although a charge of using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct was dismissed in Boren’s case.

When she gets out in less than a year, she will have a great bullet point to put on her résumé if she wants a job at the Department of Education.

Get used to it, Chicago. You voted for more of this:

Two teenagers are only facing misdemeanor charges after the crash of a stolen car resulted in the death of a 6-month-old infant.

Others injured in the crash are expected to recover, but Cristian Uvidia did not survive Chicago’s lawlessness.

The charges could be upgraded, but serious punishment is unlikely, considering that the DA is Soros stooge Kim Foxx, that the killers are 17 and 14 years old, and that this is Chicago. As noted at Post Millennial,

Soft-on-crime policies have led to a vast increase in crime throughout the City of Chicago. Violent crime has risen 37 percent in the past year alone, with theft, burglary, and robbery crimes seeing the greatest increase. There has been a 100 percent increase of fatal shootings in the city between 2020 and 2021.

Voters responded to this state of affairs by electing a pro-criminal Bernie Sanders-endorsed maniac. Brandon Johnson unsurprisingly sides with the sociopaths who are reducing Chicago streets to a state of mayhem even prior to his taking power. The Democrat Death Spiral has reached the terminal phase.

Meanwhile, as Soros-appointed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg strategically attempts to secure the Republican nomination for Donald Trump with deliberately absurd criminal charges, real criminals run free:

The proportion of cases in which the Manhattan DA’s office has not asked for felony suspects to be held on bail has more than doubled since 2018, according to its own data. …

Campaigners have accused officials of ‘a depraved indifference to human life’ and pointed to a spate of recent cases in which suspects have been released without bail before going on to commit heinous crimes.

Small price to pay for social justice, right liberals?

The Trump case hinges on promoting an old alleged misdemeanor to multiple felonies.

Meanwhile, data shows [Bragg] is increasingly downgrading felonies to misdemeanors, contributing to fewer cases being bail eligible.

Not even Kathy Hochul has the belly for Bragg’s level of moonbattery:

[Hochul] has previously blasted Bragg for ‘going soft’ after he released without bail a man who terrorized McDonald’s patrons with an ax.

Just another example of civilization unraveling.

She has also personally intervened in a case to ensure a registered sex offender who sucker-punched a man into a coma would remain in jail despite the Bronx DA’s office initially charging him with only a misdemeanor.

The revolving door criminal justice system barely inconveniences criminals in New York:

Mayor Eric Adams revealed that just ten individual criminals made up for 500 of the arrests in the city over the last two years, and at least six of them are still walking the streets.

Consequently, the USA’s largest city is becoming uninhabitable.

As recently as the 1990s, Democrats understood the necessity of three strikes laws. In those days, Democrats would often side with law-abiding citizens against sociopaths. Things have changed. Hochul had better scramble to keep up.

Progressives work progressively because if the water starts boiling immediately, the frog will jump out of the pot. Not even Joe Biden is tyrannical enough to ban cars outright; the strategy is to force us to give them up gradually by driving up the price through regulation. Landlords will meet the same fate as cars as they are progressively driven out of existence through the erosion of property rights. For example:

Patti Peeples, 61, said investment properties were meant to subsidize her retirement, but after spending $5,000 in legal fees to remove squatters who occupied her home for 34 days, she is fed up.

Costlier even than the lost rent and legal fees is the damage the parasites have inflicted:

The two female squatters caused $38,000 in damage, including smashed walls and windows, cabinets off the walls, a washer and dryer missing, toilets broken, and fecal matter scattered throughout the home.

Also, the squatters are apparently raising deadly pit bulls.

In a civilized country, the squatters would be arrested for trespassing and vandalism. In ours, they have Big Government on their side. Consequently,

“I have absolutely no right to go into this house because these squatters have the expectation of privacy, even though the law knows that they’re squatters, I know that they’re squatters, and they know they’re squatters,” Peeples said.

Going into her own house would be dangerous anyway:

“We were driving by at night, and they threw a brick at my car and damaged it, and we had the window partway down, and they threw human feces into the car,” Peeples said.

Peeples plans to get rid of her rental properties and try to find another way to subsidize her retirement.

Linda Jiang is also considering getting out of the business:

Jiang told ABC13 that she was also a victim of squatters after a month-long struggle.

After arriving at her property to clean up the yard, she discovered she was locked out of her rental home by squatters who changed her locks and refused to leave.

In both Jiang and Peeple’s cases, police told the property owners that they were unable to help and that both situations were a civil matter that must go through the courts.

This can take years. When and if the squatters are finally evicted, they just pull the same stunt somewhere else. Tamisha Holmes-Bey, a squatter on Jiang’s property, has apparently been evicted three times since 2019.

Democrats won’t see a problem here. When the last landlord has been driven out of business, people can live in public housing. We can turn the whole country into a giant Cabrini-Green.

Transsexuals occupy the top position on the Cultural Marxist totem pole of power, above all other allegedly oppressed identity groups, including women, the poor, criminals, and even blacks. We know this because liberals allow transsexual sex criminals into female prisons, where they are free to terrorize and impregnate female inmates, who are often poor and black.

James O’Keefe has released a video featuring two female inmates at the Washington State Correctional Center for Women:

Daily Wire summarizes:

“So, we have men rapists, men murderers, child rapists, men who have killed women and are in prison for raping and killing women who get put in our rooms,” Inmate #1 claimed. “Imagine coming into your room one day and you’re in closed custody and you turn around and there is a man standing there peeing in the toilet because you have the bathroom in your room in CCU. There is nothing you can do!”

“I know there’s some having sex with women — there was some, like, assaulting, but no one reported it,” Inmate #1 said.

“Some of these men are not confused, they’re just manipulating the system. It’s not equal, because we don’t get the same care and treatment that the trans get in here,” Inmate #1 continued. “They cater to the trans community. All you have to do is say that you are a woman, that you now, when you’re in county, say that you identify as a woman, and you can come straight to here from county. The guys don’t even have to go to the men’s prison first.”

O’Keefe took great care to hide their identities, because the hell they have been subjected to will be made even worse if authorities learn they challenged transsexual privilege.

“My safety is now in jeopardy because I cannot voice my freedom of speech, but that doesn’t apply anymore because now they’re implementing this new gender equality role that forces us to conform to what they want us to believe in about the transgenders,” Inmate #2 said.

Why should liberals run prisons any differently from the way they run public schools?

According to Inmate #2, transsexuals also get priority for medical treatment. Those who complain about the situation are subjected to “ridicule, targeting, bias, punishments, solitary confinement.”

Dylan Mulvaney is the liberal establishment’s favorite transsexual, despite his failure to do to his own body what transsexualists like Richard I mean Rachel Levine advocate doing to children. He is invited to the White House, feted by Bud Light, and literally knelt before by Hollywood glitterati. Let’s see what he has to say about the unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment inflicted on real women on behalf of his fellow fake women:

Normally Mulvaney chirps garrulously. But this time only the crickets where chirping.

As George Orwell observed,

“Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious.”

Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods addresses this task by explaining to the media and others witless enough to need to be told that no, guns are not responsible for crimes committed using guns, like the recent murder of three teenagers in Ocklawaha, Florida. The criminals are, even when they qualify as juveniles:

Also responsible are the liberals who allow criminals to run amok.

Kyle Rittenhouse being permitted to defend his own life from leftist Brownshirts is something our liberal rulers are not about to let happen again:

A U.S. Army sergeant was convicted of murder for fatally shooting an armed protester in 2020 during nationwide protests against police violence and racial injustice, a Texas jury ruled Friday.

Sgt. Daniel Perry was working for a ride-sharing company in July 2020 when he turned onto a street and into a large crowd of demonstrators in downtown Austin.

Something similar happened to James Fields in Charlottesville, Virginia, ending his life as a free man.

Perry, who faces life in prison, now awaits sentencing.

Perry’s attorneys said he had no choice but to shoot Foster as he approached Perry’s car with an AK-47 rifle, the Austin American-Statesman reported. Prosecutors said Perry could have driven away before firing his revolver.

What actually happened will never be known, assuming the immediate witnesses were all Black Lives Matter/Antifa type lowlifes. Police heard two separate volleys of gunfire.

Perry prevailed in the firefight, despite being outgunned. But no regular American is likely to prevail against a jury in Austin.

You thought the judicial system could not possibly get any worse than it already has under irresponsible leftist kooks like Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg? Progressives never stop making everything progressively worse. How about punishing burglars by having them clean people’s homes?

The cancer has metastasized to Texas:

Woke Austin, Texas granted a key to the city to a radical defund the police protestor who doesn’t think anyone should be placed in jail — even murderers.

Despite the city setting a record for homicides in 2021 after dramatically cutting its police budget and 911 response times climbing to hours even for serious crimes, Chas Moore, head of the Austin Justice Coalition, believes police and prisons should be abolished.

“I believe that we can get to a world where we don’t have police and where we don’t have prisons,” said the activitist — whose grip on Austin officials is so strong, they declared Oct. 22 “Chas Moore Day” last year.

Better not close down all the prisons. Where will you put Republican presidential candidates? Ask the likeminded Alvin Bragg for details.

What happens if police risk provoking a racial incident by arresting a burglar? Moore has a suggestion:

“I would actually say instead of sending her to jail, let’s say she pays me back by cleaning my house for the next six weeks.”

He assumes that the burglar will be female because that is more politically correct, since hardly any burglars are female.

Moore has gone largely unchecked in the liberal Texas capital, according to moderate Democratic activist Cleo Petricek, who was once part of Moore’s group until she realized they were trying to defund police — not just hold bad cops accountable. …

“This felon [i.e., Moore] has so much weight in the city,” she said. “I think [elected officials] are just afraid of backlash. If they disrespect him, they’re going to have protests. They’re going to be treated like they’re racists.”

Moore has been convicted of robbery and DWI. But those crimes pale in comparison to trying to inflict the Black Lives Matter agenda on law-abiding citizens.

On a tip from Occam’s Stubble.

Soros-planted Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has been turning New York into a war zone by letting criminals run free. The innocent do not get off so easily.

Donald Trump could tell you all about it. So could a Manhattan parking garage attendant named Moussa Diarra:

Diarra … saw a man peering into cars on the second floor of the West 31st Street garage, the sources said.

Believing the man was stealing, the attendant brought him outside and asked what was inside his bag.

The criminal produced a gun.

Diarra tried to grab for the weapon, and it went off — leaving him shot in the stomach and grazed in the ear by a bullet before he turned the firearm on the would-be thief and shot him in the chest, sources said.

Well done, Mr. Diarra. Best wishes for your speedy recovery.

But wait. Diarra was charged with attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon.

Let that be a lesson to anyone who lives under Democrat rule but does not allow criminals to have free reign. If you challenge the bad guys when the bad guys are in charge, there can be consequences.
