It was just another day for two teenage girls attending class at Arizona State University.

One of the girls was black and overweight. Her name is Kaci Lenise-Charlie Sloan. Hey, don’t kill the messenger—I didn’t name her, I’m only reporting her name. I have no idea why the “Lenise” part is joined to “Charlie” with a hyphen. And why “Charlie”?

She was reportedly sitting in class, when who should walk in but a pretty, rosy-cheeked white girl named Mara Daffron, only for Ms. Lenise-Charlie to leap up from her seat and begin stabbing her.

One female eyewitness described the scene as “just agonizing screams of pain and clearly you can tell that it was someone who was fearing for their life.” A male student said that after Sloan stabbed Daffron a couple of times, “I was able to grab her wrists and apprehend her before further damage could be done.”

Mara Daffron was whisked away to Banner Thunderbird Hospital and treated for injuries to her tricep and spleen. She reportedly told onlookers, “I’m just scared because I don’t know why the fuck she would stab me.”

According to a TV news report, it’s because a thin white girl is an “easier target”:

Prosecutors claim that Sloan came to class to hurt someone and had been planning the attack the night before. Prosecutors say she described what she was about to do in a letter to her family and that she struggled with self-worth issues. Prosecutors also claim that she considered attacking two people, including a veteran, but decided on her victim because, quote, she was an easier target and that she knew the victim’s first name, but nothing else. Prosecutors are calling the attack unprovoked, saying Sloan likely suffers from mental health issues, but also calling her a danger.

In charging Sloan with attempted murder in the first degree, a judge called the event “analogous to a school shooting.”

Be careful out there, all you easy targets.

UK Judge Refuses to Deport Convicted Murderer to Uganda, Agreeing With His Defense Lawyers That it Would Be “Inhumane”

I’ve never been to Uganda. I’ve never even been to Africa. But from what I’ve heard on my radio and seen on my TV set about African countries, I think it would be inhumane to send anyone there.

Therefore, I agree with a judge who recently allowed Ugandan national Zak Mayanja to stay in England rather than face the indignity of being shlepped back to his savage and inhospitable homeland.

Mr. Mayanja was part of a gang of ruffians who in 2005 chased down a man named Eugen Breahna and beat him to death with golf clubs and baseball bats even after Breahna had crawled into the back of an ambulance for safety. Mayanja was sentenced to life in 2006 but was released after serving a minimum of 16 years.

At a court hearing, Mayanja’s lawyers said that their client had a psychiatric malady that imbued him with a “pervasive distrust and suspiciousness” that caused him to obsessively nurse unending grudges against those whom he believed had wronged him. Being sent back to Uganda, they argued, would be a “traumatic event” that would only exacerbate his suspiciousness.

Senior immigration judge Christopher John Hanson agreed:

I find that if [he] was removed to Uganda there would be serious, rapid and irreversible decline in their state of health resulting in intense suffering or significant reduction in life expectancy.

Oh, the inhumanity!

Feds Arrest Would-Be Trump Assassin’s Son on Child-Porn Charges

Ryan Wesley Routh enjoyed a fleeting moment under the media’s withering heat lamp a couple weeks ago after he purportedly aimed an AK-47 at Donald Trump while the indomitable presidential candidate puttered his way around his golf club in West Palm Beach, FL. At the time, his son Oran Routh claimed that his father hated Trump just as “all reasonable people” do.

Very well, then. Do “all reasonable people” also love child pornography? Like so many before him, has Routh the Younger been a passenger on the hating-Trump-to-loving-kiddie-porn pipeline?

Feds raided young Oran’s two-bedroom apartment in Greensboro, NC on September 21 and reportedly found “hundreds” of kiddie porn images on his digital devices. According to a criminal complaint filed on September 23 in the Middle District of North Carolina, among those items were:

“A video depicting an adult male engaged in vaginal intercourse with a prepubescent minor female between approximately 12-14 years of age.”

“A video depicting a nude prepubescent minor female approximately 6-8 years of age sitting on the chest of an adult female as the adult uses her tongue to penetrate the minor’s vagina.”

Just as with his father’s alleged attempt on Trump’s life, I have no idea what to make of this or whom to believe. Is it all a setup? Is the jig up? Is the fix in? Are the feds putting the kibosh on someone?

American Woman Kills Herself in “Sarco Suicide Pod” That Critics Call a “Glorified Gas Chamber”

The last person I remember who gained adulation as a noble medical warrior for the right to kill yourself was the late, great Jack Kevorkian, whose pseudonym was “Dr. Death.”

But Dr. Kevorkian is gone, and now the world’s most prominent self-styled enabler of those who want to snuff it is Dr. Philip Nitschke. Just like Kevorkian, he has made it his lifelong mission to enable those who want to kill themselves to get the job done. Nitschke is also widely known as “Dr. Death.” Some refer to these types as right-to-die activists. Others call them “suicide predators.”

Since the 1990s, Nitschke has been tirelessly developing contraptions whereby anyone who wishes to depart this vale of tears can commit the final action that kills them. In 1996, the Australia-born Nitschke developed something he called the “Deliverance Machine,” wherein a patient could self-administer a lethal injection by pressing a key on a laptop.

Since 2012, Nitschke’s pet suicide-machine project has been the “Sarco Pod,” which Wikipedia describes thusly:

The Sarco pod (also known as Pegasos and has been referred to as a “suicide pod”) is a euthanasia device or machine consisting of a 3D-printed detachable capsule mounted on a stand that contains a canister of liquid nitrogen to die by suicide through <a targ
