Who was Haruka Weiser?
Angry White Dude by Quartierleblanc
1h // keep unread // hide // preview



This one really pisses me off beyond all recognition. Another young and promising life cut short by a weaponized subhuman soldier of the progressive movement. If you have been living in a cave (or just working hard to pay taxes) Haruka was the 18-year-old co-ed murdered at the University of Texas at Austin. (If you’re wondering, it’s the same school that removed that very dangerous statue of Jefferson Davis from the campus center)

Just who was Haruka Weiser? By all accounts she was beautiful, talented and very smart. Originally from Oregon, she entered UT on a dance scholarship, but was interested in becoming a doctor like her father. If my youngest son had come home with someone like her my fatherly advice would be to close this deal as quickly as possible. Her family will not see a day of a promising future. There will never be a graduation, marriage or children. I can’t imagine the grief this family feels.

I ask myself what this young woman would have accomplished with her life? I hear people lament about why their family members died from cancer and question why no one has come up with a cure? I just smirk and silently say to myself “maybe we allow those people to get killed.”

Just who murdered this young woman? To say that it’s one of the usual suspects is a cliché that is getting very old. It wasn’t a red neck, NRA member or the descendant of a Confederate veteran. “It’s” name is Meechaiel Khalil Criner, a 17 year old homeless degenerate and recent addition the freak show that is downtown Austin. With a name like that we really don’t need a mug shot do we? He is the poster boy of a low IQ culture, with little impulse control and no future time orientation. The excuses are already coming in. He won’t get the death penalty because he’s only 17. He’s likely to get out of prison before he turns 40. He will be bigger, meaner and with a huge axe to grind. Chances are he’ll be some sort of hero in the slam. This won’t be his last murder. I’ll predict he’ll be sent to a mental institution and out on the street within 15 years with a worthless guarantee from progressive America that he won’t do it again. Surveillance tapes seem to indicate that Criner may have spent about two hours down in that gully where Haruka’s body was found. There is little wonder why the Austin PD won’t release the specifics of her death. But there won’t be riots in Austin protesting her murder or the huge number of bums that live there. BLM, the DOJ, Roberta Lynch and Al Sharpton won’t even mention it. Goofy liberal websites like MIC will ignore it completely or provide a litany of justifications for Meechaiel. (Sorry, I just don’t get the spelling rules for Ebonics)

What really killed Haruka are liberalism and the political and sociological consequences that result from it. Liberalism is the new slave master to African Americans and is the reason for the destruction of the black family. UT Austin is a liberal institution of higher learning in a liberal town that actually encourages the homeless to live within walking distance of the university. We have vagrancy laws for a reason. There was even a senior liberal professor who left UT because of concealed carry. I wonder how he feels about that now? The progressives are much more concerned about the legacy of the Confederacy than the fact that their political ideology has turned the school into a hunting ground for regressive animals.

But what are the lessons here? I realize that I keep repeating myself, but repetition is the key to learning. It’s much the same as in the deaths of Paul Tam and Peter Wielke. You must recognize the threat. I don’t need to repeat what that is. You’re dealing with what is essentially a biologic weapon, violent predators whose actions benefit the political left. They behave as feral creatures with victims that are older, smaller, weaker and at times outnumbered. They use ambush tactics and like working at night. The same scenarios are repeated over and over again. Needless to say, situational awareness is paramount. Know that like Haruka, you are food and are being hunted.

As always, choose your handgun well. I still think that the small, subcompact semi-autos in 380 and 9mm along with the lightweight 38 snubs represent the best anti-ambush weapons. A tactical knife and pepper spray remain choices as backups but are not primary weapons.

An encounter is likely to be very fast, up close and dirty. Make sure your holster does not slow you down and train for quick, close in encounters, especially in low light condition.

Another thing to bring up is mental attitude. Expect to win, show no mercy and project yourself with the attitude of a biker with a bad hangover.

If I’ve motivated you to think, then I’ve accomplished what I wanted. If I’ve motived you to start shooting, then that’s even better. There are plenty more just like Meechaiel out there. Just remember to train like your life depends upon it because it just might.

"West coast, including California, is doing great for water this year."
Not really; we're doing OK, maybe, but not great.

April 5, 2016

Intensity:
  • D0 (Abnormally Dry)
  • D1 (Moderate Drought)

  • D2 (Severe Drought)
  • D3 (Extreme Drought)

    . Here, we haven't had much rain since mid March, and things are pretty dry. I'm third county from the top, and about on the line between abnormal,yellow, and moderate drought, light orange. Town averages about 65", Rat about 80". There have been big swings; no rain in Oct/Nov, so we were like 18 inches below average on 12/5, and 7" ahead by mid Jan. Then no rain for about 6 weeks, creeks just about dry, thru March 1; 7 inches ahead by mid -March, then nothing again, and only a few inches above average by now. Reservoirs are at 87%, snow pack 95% of average, but the ground here is dry, and creeks way down again. Hasn't been that wet an El Nino. In '97-98, I got 120 inches.
