Today: 30,710.0
Yesterday: 30,724.0
Note: As an aside, it looks like us arrogant Yanks will have to stop making all those Canadian exchange-rate jokes. The Canadian Dollar is almost at parity with the American Peso; $1C will get you 98.7 American cents as of last check.
Jena Stack of Stuff September 20, 2007

Well, the thug excuseologists had their little hissy fit today.
(1) There was a local rally in front of Hazelwood East High School this morning, organized by the school’s “Students Against Destructive Decisions” (formerly “Students Against Drunk Driving”) chapter. Most of the participants were black, but the few whites who tagged along did most of the public speaking for local TV news reporters. Maybe it’s just as well — the few blacks that did speak sounded like dullards, and I bet that if you pressed them, only the whites would be able to find Louisiana on a blank outline map of the USA.
Also, I’m not comfortable at all with this insinuation that prosecuting six vicious nearly-murderous black hate criminals is akin to a “destructive decision” or even “drunk driving” that should be eschewed.
(2) At Jena, Al $harpton told the media that “he and Reps. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, and William Jefferson, D-La., will press the House Judiciary Committee next week to summon the district attorney to explain his actions before Congress.” Source.
Shouldn’t William Jefferson be minding his refrigerator before anything else?
And I can only hope that Sharpton and the three Sharptonites get their way. If Reed Walters, the D.A. for La Salle Parish, does get called up to D.C. to testify, he’ll tell the truth about the whole set of affairs, and make $harpton look like the fool that he has always been.
(3) Majority Rights, a British (?) pro-white blog, covers today’s Jena hissy-fit, and has some very important facts that you should commit to memory. (Yes, there will be a quiz later.) The MR post mentions the Euro-MSM condescension over the matter. This Agence France Presse article is an example.
I should tell the AFP to MYOB, as France recently elected and installed a President that would have been unelectably conservative in the country as late as twenty years ago, because France is full of “Jena Sixes” that routinely commit violent hate crimes against whites.
(4) As far as the only legal “juvenile” in question, one Mychael Bell, it appears that he has a previous rap sheet, including sexual assault, and was on probation at the time of the infamous assault.
Gordon Brown Rattles His Sabres September 20, 2007

And maybe this snake has fangs. But does the poison have any toxicity?
Prime Minister Gordon Brown proposed new sanctions against Zimbabwe on Thursday and threatened to boycott an EU-African summit in December if its President Robert Mugabe attended.
The government in Harare said Brown was “wasting his time” by warning he would stay away from the talks in Lisbon, insisting the 83-year-old president had been invited and was going, and the president of neighbouring Zambia said he would boycott the summit if Mugabe were excluded.
Portuguese Foreign Minister Luis Amado later said he would prefer Brown to attend the meeting than Mugabe, but that no invitations had yet been sent out. He promised to work towards resolving the situation in the coming weeks.
Brown, whose comments were applauded by Zimbabwean activists and rights groups, said Mugabe’s presence in the Portuguese capital would flout a European Union travel ban on him and his entourage.
“President Mugabe is the only African leader to face an EU travel ban. There is a reason for this — the abuse of his own people,” he wrote in an article in The Independent newspaper.
(snip)
In addition, he called for EU sanctions against more than 100 individuals in Mugabe’s regime to be more widely applied.
EU sanctions — there’s a good laugh. If Mugabe shows up in Portugal, that’ll show you how useless the EU and any of its “sanctions” against Mugabe are. I’m sure those hundred cronies of his are shaking in their jack boots over the prospect of themselves facing an EU “travel ban” (insert laugh tracks here).

His little vehicular hissy-fit in Clayton a few days ago was not his first run-in with the law. In July, he caused a wreck in south city.
Trouble is, he was as much of an illegal alien in July as he is today. So why wasn’t he deported in July?
City police records indicate that the driver, Sergio Lopez, 23, caused a collision July 26 on South Kingshighway near Southwest Avenue while driving the same SUV.
Eleanor Sanford, 80, said Wednesday that an SUV had turned in front of her from a gas station parking lot, hitting her car and sending it spinning. She was shaken but not seriously hurt.
The driver sped off, Sanford said, and police tracked him through a license plate that fell off. “He just hit us and took off,” she said.
She said she did not connect her wreck with Tuesday’s high-profile Clayton incident until reporters called her about it Wednesday.
“I don’t see how this man was allowed to drive,” Sanford said.
He wasn’t, not legally. In fact, he wasn’t allowed in the country, not legally. But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t here, and didn’t drive, and didn’t wreck Miss Sanford’s car, and didn’t seriously hurt two elderly diners at an Italian restaurant in Clayton a few days ago.
Because neither the border nor driving without a license is seriously enforced, people can and do sneak into the country illegally, and drive without a license. There’s going to be a lot of technically illegal activity if the law itself isn’t enforced vigorously.

Tens of thousands of CCTV cameras, yet 80% of crime unsolved
London has 10,000 crime-fighting CCTV cameras which cost £200 million, figures show today.
But an analysis of the publicly funded spy network, which is owned and controlled by local authorities and Transport for London, has cast doubt on its ability to help solve crime.
A comparison of the number of cameras in each London borough with the proportion of crimes solved there found that police are no more likely to catch offenders in areas with hundreds of cameras than in those with hardly any.
In fact, four out of five of the boroughs with the most cameras have a record of solving crime that is below average.
The figures were obtained by the Liberal Democrats on the London Assembly using the Freedom of Information Act.
Dee Doocey, the Lib-Dems’ policing spokeswoman, said: “These figures suggest there is no link between a high number of CCTV cameras and a better crime clear-up rate.
“We have estimated that CCTV cameras have cost the taxpayer in the region of £200million in the last 10 years but it’s not entirely clear if some of that money would not have been better spent on police officers.
Ask the parents of Rhys Jones how effective the British infrastructure of spy cameras and spy drones are for the purpose of actually preventing and deterring crime. They may record some crimes happening, but that doesn’t mean that the recording will help convict the perpetrators, much less deter others from committing crimes.
As an example, St. Louis’s Mayor Francis Slay boasted a few days ago that a Federal grant received by the city will help to solve and to “gain a thorough understanding” of “gun crime.” St. Louis City Police Officers already have a “thorough understanding” of “gun crime,” but their understanding is too racially taboo for the Mayor Slays of the world to bear.
