Last week, a retired French train driver and obvious piece of garbage was arrested for shooting three Kurds dead and severely wounding three others in Paris. French Police arrested 69-year-old William Mallet, who the authorities said had recently been freed from detention while awaiting trial for a sabre attack on a migrant camp in Paris a year ago. Who on this planet conducts sabre attacks other than the prehistoric tigers who had them for teeth is beyond me.
Unsurprisingly, violence has broken out between police and Kurdish protestors angry at the crime, turning over cars, burning at least one vehicle, and damaging some shop windows, which in the French grand scheme of things is really not so much a “riot” as it is a “regular mercredi out with the petit homies”. Paris police chief Laurent Nunez said there has been a sudden violent turn in the protests but wasn’t yet sure as to why. Not to speculate too much as an ignorant American outsider, but the fact that this train conductor/asshole was spouting racist and murderous sentiment and actions for years might be a factor.
Meanwhile, the shooter, William Mallet has told prosecutors: “I always wanted to assassinate migrants and foreigners.” Truly a world-class piece of excrement that could only be produced by a declining empire that dehumanizes, demeans, and disregards diverse members of its community on the daily.

Police are still inept: Shyann Delmar and her cousin Mecka Curry saved a kidnapped child this week, in a case that the useless police officers of Indianapolis are hesitant to share details about. Officers “found” baby Kason Thomas, who went missing yesterday in Columbus, Ohio, with his twin brother when a woman took their mother's running car with them in the back seat. The other child, Kyair Thomas, was found by a passerby early Tuesday morning in the parking lot of the Dayton International Airport. In reality, the officers did nothing more than follow the direction of two brave and diligent community detectives
Queens’ Latest Scam Queen: The NY Post added to their vaunted resume as a site capable of exposing any type of absurdity the city (or Long Island) has to offer, including and especially the newest representative in Congress. Whoever runs Georgie Santos’ communication team needs to be fired, there’s simply no way you allow your candidate to say, on the record, “I never claimed to be Jewish, I am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was ‘Jew-ish.’” The soon-to-be lawmaker also confirmed to The Post that while he was indeed married to a woman for about five years, from 2012 until his divorce in 2017, he is now a happily married gay man, so it seems he’s really learning on the job
Southwest Meltdown: More than 2,400 flights were cancelled in one of the most prominent examples of corporate failure this holiday season. Southwest Airlines cancelled more than 70% (!!!) of their total flights yesterday, citing difficult weather conditions and general inability to run a bloated and overextended airline
Liverpool found a way to win yesterday against Aston Villa (also known as the Aston Martins for the uninformed) yesterday, finishing the day with a 3-1 victory and a new rumored signing. 23 year old Dutchman Cody Gakpo has been sold by Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven for a reported sum of ~$40M, an extremely solid pick up for the Reds as they look to add some firepower to a depleted front line
