WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God’s last Put out the light was spoken.
— Robert Frost
Gerard Van der Leun
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
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

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.
