Except that Crowley defeated Hong. The polls had it sewn up, Polymarket gamblers agreed. The only thing left was the voting and the Dem establishment pulled victory from the jaws of defeat. The new Governor of Wisconsin will be David Crowley, a man who said on July 8 while dropping out of the race, “It has become clear that I will not be the Democratic nominee for Governor.” But he remained on the ballot and won after the Dem establishment forced him back into the race.
But worse than this, the loss of Hong robs the GOP of countless ads that could have been nationalized. Now Dems will press the gas pedal to normalize El-Sayed and claim they solved their “communism” problem.

Not just simians, DW; forest animals are frequently observed being hyperactive or just plain nuts leading up to an earthquake or volcanic eruption (the latter being frequently tied to the former). For my part, although I don’t remember it well (my late father relayed the events as I got older), we were in Northern California around Shasta when St. Helens blew up, and even that far south, there was chaos in the forest; deer were running wild out into the highways and getting pummeled by trucks at an unusual clip, for example. Heck, many years later, I was driving my parents up to Fresno, and although we didn’t know it at the time, a 4.5 quake hit around Gorman on I-5 just before you drop down to grapevine south of Bakersfield; a large mule deer ran out into the road and tore up my parents’ Suburban. Did $4k worth of damage, too.

But I recognize Bitter’s view is the “modern” view. He is not wrong, he is current. Criminals are no longer responsible for their own actions. Whatever they do, it can be attributed or blamed on something or someone else. Their upbringing, poverty, abuse, alcohol, meds, drugs. They had bad schoolmates, neighbors, bosses, relatives, teachers, coaches. They were discriminated against. They were bullied. They were depressed. They were in therapy.
The fact that most people with all those problems do not become murderers is no longer relevant.
Just pick one get out of jail card and run with it. With the right lawyer, the right judge and the right jury you are in the clear.
I was reading yesterday about this case where a 17 year old girl smashed her mother’s car into a tree going 65 in a 40 mile zone and it erupted in flames. There were 6 teenage girls in the car going to a party. The driver and one passenger got out, the other 4 were trapped in the car and were burned alive. The mother of one of the victims arrived at the scene while the car was still burning with her daughter inside. She said the driver looked at her and said “my mother is going to kill me, I wrecked her car”. Her friends burning alive meant nothing.
Because it is CA and she is 17, she is going to trial on misdemeanor charges in JUVENILE court. IF convicted, the maximum sentence in ONE YEAR in a juvenile facility. And that is only because the judge rejected her bid to go to a “diversion program” instead.

And btw, the insanity defense was designed for people actually diagnosed and certifiably insane.
This woman was not insane. Her husband didn’t think she was insane, her co-workers didn’t think she was insane, her friends didn’t think she was insane, her therapist did not think she was insane (testified that she had “no concerns”). Depressed? Ok. Suicidal? Maybe.
The whole narrative of the defense is that she needed help but the mean society did not give her any, so of course killing her children was inevitable and justified.
