MMR October 31 2023 - Spooked!

Last I heard (per al-Jazeera, or as I sometimes call it, al-Jeera), eight thousand Palestinians have died from bombardment by Israel. The crazy thing is that if this is an inflated number you'll be considered hyperbolic, but if it's verifiable you'll be called antisemitic.

Now is that the Israeli government calling them all Hamas or Israelis themselves? I think we know the answer to that.

In July, three months before the shootings, the Army Reserve sent him to a psychiatric facility, where he stayed for two weeks, after he made veiled threats of violence to fellow reservists.

In late summer, he specifically threatened to commit a mass shooting, according to the letter from the Army Reserve.

In September, the Army Reserve sent a warning letter to the Sagadahoc [County] Sheriff’s Department that could not have been more explicit in its expression of concern: he is “going to snap,” the letter said, relaying the fears of one of Card’s fellow reservists. He is going to “commit a mass shooting.”

Despite all these concerns, and the department’s failure to make contact with Card during two wellness checks, the department agreed to allow Card’s family to attempt take away his weapons, rather than having law enforcement officials directly intervene, the new documents show.

“We believe that our agency acted appropriately and followed procedures for conducting an attempt to locate and wellness check,” Sagadahoc sheriff Joel Merry said in a statement, adding that his office will evaluate its procedures for conducting wellness checks.

The Army Reserve letter, written by an unnamed official, reached the sheriff’s department after what is described as months of tumultuous and alarming behavior by Card.

Card, a sergeant first class, had been “hearing voices calling him a pedophile . . . and other insults,” according to the letter.

In July, he accused his fellow reservists of making those insults. After that incident, the Army Reserve sent him to New York for treatment at Four Winds Psychiatric Hospital, where he spent 14 days, according to the letter.

Later, on the way home from a casino, Card punched a fellow reservist referred to as Hodgson, after accusing Hodgson of calling him a pedophile, the letter said. Card then told Hodgson that he had “guns and is going to shoot up the drill center at Saco and other places,” according to the letter.

The unnamed author of the letter wrote: “I would rather err on the side of caution with regards to Card since he is a capable marksman and, if he should set his mind to carry out the threats made to Hodgson, he would be able to do it.”

“(A)ll of Robert’s paranoia/anger started around the same time he got hearing aids” for the first time in February, [brother] Ryan Card told the department, according to the report.The report states that mental illness induced by hearing loss is a documented condition.

Ilhan Omar asks the essential question; how many more Palestinian lives has to be lost in order to make people happy. 1000, 10000, all of them?

Bibi is now using old testament passages speaking of the brutal annihilation of all enemies of Israel as justification for the atrocities. I think our government and that of other western nations, has to start questioning their wholehearted commitment to what will amount to ethnic cleansing and genocide. I've always wondered why people walk into these obvious traps. Who is talking about Vietnamese atrocities anymore? Any discussion about Vietnam generally end up with Americas role in the war. Or the post ww2 colonial fiasco, where the old colonial nations lost everything in what ended up brutal, costly and ultimate futile attempts to hold on to them. Like Netherlands attempt to keep Indonesia. France attempt to hold onto Indo China. France attempt to hold onto Algeria. England's attempt to hold onto Middle East. And USA holding the bag when France could their ass kicked.

These wars ended because people at home got tired of these unpopular colonial holdings, the death toll in their names. Israel's attempt to keep their apartheid system in place have reached a screeching point. Idiot politics around the world, such as in UK, are now trying to cement any criticism of Israeli's government as anti-semitic. This is probably the last chance to stop this madness from spreading. Israel is willing to undo decades of negotiations to normalize relations in the region. Erdoban has already figured out where the winds are blowing, and the rest of the local powers are balking at this continued destabilization that is threatening to spill over on them. It is political suicide to allow Israel to obliterate a whole area in the name of 'defense' when they don't even seem to give one single shit about any of the hostages, American hostages includes.

The westers world giving Israel a freepass to level Gaza has been one of the biggest political blunders in modern history. Biden had a slim margin of winning the next election. Now he stands to lose entire states like Michigan due to this sloppy, uncritical defense of a regime that has lost its collective shit. Israel has taken this as an excuse to displace a larger population than the original Nakba. Starmer back in UK looked like he was about to completely spank the right. Now his own party is in complete uproar and what was almost a statistical certainty, has become entirely muddled.

Whomever made this political calculation are morons. What Hamas did was horrible. And in that brief moment Israel could have had the moral high ground to root out Hamas over a long period of time and not a single person would've lifted a finger. But no, they saw an opportunity to wipe out Gaza and steal most of their land, and in doing so, the west blundered into the greatest moral calamity since WW2. And adopting policies that enact language that more or less blame anyone that protest this as anti-semitic is so profoundly neurotic. Because a lot of the ones protesting are Jews themselves.

Ontario Teacher suggests student goes into a locker and holds the door to the locker shut "as a jest" for about 2 minutes. Student took it as a command, was traumatized by the incident and effectively felt bullied by the teacher

School investigated, suspended the teacher for 2 days
Police investigated, concluded a crime had been committed but concluded it was minor enough to warrant just a warning
Family attempted private prosecution which is when individuals can attempt to pursue charges without the backing of the Crown Prosecution. Crown requested those charges being dismissed which was granted - likely because the Crown felt that they had addressed the matter with the warning

So the family contacted CBC

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/teacher-suspension-locker-college-franco-ouest-1.7013016

Family, at a minimum, wants the teacher to not be at the same school as the student though they think the teacher should be fired for the action.

Trust her, she has seen a lot of evidence she cannot talk about and that for some reason has not come out in any hearing. It is just AMAZING how much evidence there is, but they have to keep it on the downlow. Why? Reasons...important ones. As for Trump and his so called crimes. We're all allowed due process and he did NOTHING wrong.

So Israel has once more 'released' intelligence about what type of 'command' bunker is hidden under the hospital, as justification for any strikes that might land there (and already has). It consist of perhaps the shittiest computer rendered cut through section provided that someone decided to put together on their lunch break.

It is laughable if it wasn't such a serious threat to the many at that hospital.

Note this is from Daily Mail, very few other major News Orgs want to show this dumb shit. They will mention it, but they refuse to show this low res fantasy rendering.

The latest mass casualty event; IDF drops a bomb in a refugee camp to get one guy. Perfectly fine. So is it okay then that Hamas do that? To get say one commander in IDF they can kill hundreds? Of course not, the defenders of the currently genocide would be screaming their heads off.

IDF continue to prove that they don't really give a shit about human lives. Israeli and Palestinian alike. So why should Hamas feel so constraint?

I don't care for terrorist and state terrorist alike. That's just me. But why should any terrorist care about these things if Israel's government don't?
