WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
He thought he kept the universe alone;
For all the voice in answer he could wake
Was but the mocking echo of his own
From some tree-hidden cliff across the lake.
Some morning from the boulder-broken beach
He would cry out on life, that what it wants
Is not its own love back in copy speech,
But counter-love, original response.
And nothing ever came of what he cried
Unless it was the embodiment that crashed
In the cliff’s talus on the other side,
And then in the far distant water splashed,
But after a time allowed for it to swim,
Instead of proving human when it neared
And someone else additional to him,
As a great buck it powerfully appeared,
Pushing the crumpled water up ahead,
And landed pouring like a waterfall,
And stumbled through the rocks with horny tread,
And forced the underbrush–and that was all.
Gerard Van der Leun
When all Earth’s seas shall Levitate,
Dark shawled within the skies,
Upon our eyes will Starfish dance
Their waltz of Blind surprise.
The sun will Rise within wine Dark
As Argonauts imbibed,
Whose drunken arms embrace that sleep
Where Phaeton’s horses Stride.
Upon all of Earth’s wind-sanded shores,
As dolphins Learn to soar,
All we once were on the land
Shall be sealed behind the door
Of Ivory and Chastened Gold,
That the Mystery solved complete
Shall never til the seas’ Long fall
Wake mariners from their sleep.
— Van der Leun
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
— The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot

In the military, you’d be “arrested” in order to end a pass or furlough. Fucking grow up! Being arrested (I think especially going forward into our police state state) will be commonplace soon enough.
She seems inconvenienced, to put it mildly. She’s like: “but I’m innocent on account of my moral courage”. To quote the liberal playbook: “shityeahright!”
Now, I’d like to ask the liberal students this. When do you anticipate being arrested for being an artist, a teacher, or an intellectual? How long into the new socialist government of the USA, under Bernie or fill-in-the-blank democrat socialist, before the gulags begin to fill?
She is actually far, far more dangerous a character than her momma or daddy know. She’s a: s o c i a l i s t. That means she’s a tyrant in training.
MADE my day!
This SJW is not such a warrior. But for sure a Whiner. Where does this young lady, so to speak, get the idea that her feelings trump the law? Actions based on emotions are, as Casey says, the primary ingredient for tyranny, censorship (which there’s already waaaay too much of) and eventually camps and hit squads. She’s a one person hit squad, just an immature example of the same principles and tactics that those far more powerful are, and have been, increasing employing. “I was going to give it back,” she whines. Sure you were. “I can’t believe…blah blah,” she whines some more. The primary domestic job of government is to render justice. So, kudos to this officer. He didn’t let her emotional bullshit move him. He stayed the course, followed protocol, and thank God, he did his part to give people confidence that justice can still exist in our so-called rule-of-law society. Would that it were so.
Couldn’t get through the video. The overwhelming sense of self -righteousness displayed by that little brat is infuriating. Wish there were some way of identifying these creeps so that normal people could avoid contact with them. Potentially, there’s some unsuspecting, decent guy who’s going to get tangled up with this nightmare and have his life ruined as a result. There’s nothing this pathetic, little bint wouldn’t do, because she’s f**king right, damn it!
They’re less difficult to spot than they used to be, but that’s probably because I’ve had more practice.
I had a buddy in the ’60s who whined about the fact that he had to come back after summer vacation without his parents’ second car – a Lincoln – because he’d gotten caught fucking the next-door neighbors’ seventeen-year-old daughter. We were twenty-something at the time.
The injustice of this state of affairs was pretty much all he could talk about for weeks. Keep in mind this was fifty years ago, the first time I was ever left speechless over the behavior of an apparent droid.
She should sue her parents.
This wasn’t her first intrusion into other people’s rights nor will it be her last.
That shitstain cop wasn’t much better.
Are there any men with balls left in this country?
Are they biding their time, sharpening their knives?
If she was a little more in shape she could of out run them. That cop or sign owner would not have run a 100 yards to get that sign back. So not only is she dumb but also lazy.
I can’t wait until she has to tell Daddy what she did.
Tap..Tap…Tap… See this, it restricts women’s rights!
That’s one heck of a powerful sign.
12 years of public school indoctrination led to this.
There is a banquet of fail on display. But also a takeout box of remedies: Snakepit is correct; public indoctrination is the ruination of liberty and free thought – little bitch shows us what happens when a potion of stupid is taken on an empty stomach. Casey makes a strong argument for the value of discipline and early maturation. Along those lines I have to ask “Given the disassociation from reason and logic they display – and the examples are too numerous to count – should women be allowed to hold public office? It’s a reasonable debate to have if we are to continue as a nation ruled by law and logic instead of by emotion and mythology.
“‘No, I cannot un-arrest you!” 🙂
(plus the accent. Makes it all worth watching…)
Having spent ages 2-3 dwelling on that campus in Victory Village (married student housing, primarily for vets) and the previous years in the equivalent over at Wake Forest College, the near familial nature of those images makes it difficult to express the Himalayan expansiveness of the joy that this video provides me, tempered as it is by the near certainty that this inconsequential mediocrity will suffer no serious punishment meted out by the courts of Orange County. At least she got a good oppression story out of the deal.
As for the campus police officer, while many of us here would no doubt be sorely tempted to truncheon into the miscreant’s cranium some of that respect for the rights of others which sadly were not implanted there in the previous decades, if he were to do so, the officer (and the taxpayers of the state) would certainly receive in return a much more comprehensive financial thrashing. FFS, the campus cops were stood down while a verminous mob, mainly non-students, including a cadre of RevComs from Durrrm, pulled down Silent Sam, so his superiors would “have his back” mainly by stenciling a target on it. I did note her slowly increasing the viscosity of her accent throughout the incident, seeking perhaps to ingratiate herself with the officer, and having known over the course of my lifetime far more grads of the Flagship, “The University of the People”, than one should ever hope to, whom I can state in no uncertain terms possess near psychopathic levels of self esteem, marvel that the little darlin’ refrained from a class based tirade against the cop. My hat, at least, is off to this officer.
I was hoping he’d let her off with a stern spanking. Oh well, maybe down at the station.
