CALIFORNIA: Gunman Slays Six After Posting Chilling "Retribution" Video

A mentally ill 22 year-old college student in Santa Barbara, California is dead after killing six people in what police are calling "premeditated mass murder."  The shooting spree came after the killer posted a chilling YouTube clip titled "Retribution" in which he declared himself to be a virgin and vowed to murder the women who had rejected him

Gunfire erupted shortly before 9:30 p.m. in Isla Vista, Calif., an area near the UC Santa Barbara Campus and about 100 miles north of Los Angeles. A shooter fired dozens of shots while driving and walking through the area, leaving behind “a very chaotic series” of nine crime scenes spread across Isla Vista, Brown said. The first calls to police reporting gunshots came in at 9:27 p.m., Brown said. At the same time, sheriff’s office deputies already in Isla Vista also heard gunshots and found several victims. As they performed first aid, they were given information regarding the shooter and the vehicle that person was using. Several minutes later, the shooter engaged in a shootout with sheriff’s deputies before fleeing. The shooter was spotted again moments later by another deputy; the shooter and the deputy both fired shots at one another before the shooter fled down the street and eventually crashed into a parked vehicle.

 The family of the gunman has issued a statement.

The gunman who killed six people and died in a mass shooting near the University of California, Santa Barbara, has been identified by an attorney representing his father. The father of Elliot Rodger confirmed through his attorney, Alan Schifman, that his son was the gunman. The 22-year-old was being treated by multiple therapists and was a student at Santa Barbara City College, said Schifman. Schifman said that Rodger’s family was “devastated.” Schifman said in recent weeks that Rodger’s parents were concerned for their son's well being and reported his disturbing YouTube videos to police, which lead to an investigation. According to Schifman, police interviewed Rodger and found him to be “polite and kind.” He did not specify which law enforcement division conducted the interview. A social worker also contacted police about Rodger last week, said Schifman. Schifman said Rodger was diagnosed as being a high-functioning patient with Asperger syndrome and had faced bullying through much of his life as he had trouble making friends.

VIDEO: Rodger's video has already been mirrored by several other YouTube users. I don't recommend reading the YouTube comments, where some are declaring that the killer was a "self-hating gay man." The top-rated comment at the version posted below says: "This guy was clearly gay. (Not that I am anti-gay), but he was in denial." Other commenters are calling the killer "effeminate."

The man has been restrained by fellow passengers and FBI agents are waiting at the United terminal. Flying really does seem to push unstable people over the edge, especially lately.

Naked Acrobat Terrorizes BART Riders

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

A video emerged Monday depicting a bizarre incident at a San Francisco BART station last month, with a naked man accosting several passengers and doing flips, handstands, the splits and other gymnastic maneuvers on the BART turnstiles. The video, recorded May 10 by a BART station agent at the 16th Street Mission Station, shows the man lunge at and attack several passengers, and at one point pound the ground while passengers step gingerly around him.

The video also shows a BART maintenance worker trying to block the man from getting close to passengers. The station agent recording the video helps one woman, who is visibly distressed, hide from the man in the booth. “Oh my God, I cannot believe that,” the station agent is heard saying as the man does a handstand. The man was identified by BART police as 24-year-old Yeiner Garizabalo. Friends said Tuesday he goes by Yeiner Perez and is a dedicated acrobat and performer. The episode, they said, was strongly out of character.

The man was arrested and held for a psychiatric examination. The BART worker was given a day off with pay and treated to dinner by supervisors.  The union for BART employees is using the below video, which has gone viral with almost 300K views in 24 hours, as part of their ongoing contract negotiations regarding job hazards.  Nudity ahead.

Stephen Fry Reveals Suicide Attempt

"I am the victim of my own moods, more than most people are perhaps, in as much as I have a condition which requires me to take medication so that I don’t get either too hyper or too depressed to the point of suicide. I’d go as far as to tell you I attempted it last year. I took a huge number of pills with a huge amount of vodka and the mixture of them made my body convulse so much that I broke four ribs. But I was still unconscious. Fortunately, the producer I was filming with at the time came into the hotel room and I was found in an unconscious state and taken back to England and looked after." - Openly gay actor and filmmaker Stephen Fry, who for years has publicly discussed his battle with mental illness.

Yesterday Fry tweeted in response to news coverage about his latest attempt.

Eugene Delgaudio: The FCC Will Force Networks To Broadcast Gay Porn

"The FCC now has announced they plan to immediately allow the broadcast of explicit acts of sodomy, perversion and the use of curse words to FURTHER destroy our culture. The FCC proposes they become a Federal Porn Agency and that all TV stations be 'allowed' (i.e. forced) to broadcast language supporting porn, homosexual acts and other perversions all hours of the day and night. Please join me in demanding Congress freeze all funding and all nominations to the FCC board and to conduct hearings to stop this or to alternatively change the legal name of the FCC to Federal Gay Porn Agency." - Eugene Delgaudio, in this week's money beg.

Scott Lively: God Totally Exploded A Strip Club Because I Prayed For It To Happen

"For about two years I have been including imprecatory prayers in our church services and Bible studies at Holy Grounds Coffee House.  Imprecatory prayers are Old Testament prayers for the defeat and destruction of the enemies of God and his people.  A New Testament variation on these prayers is to ask God to save the people but destroy the institutions. Our prayers, part of our seven year campaign to re-Christianize the City of Springfield, have included an appeal to God to destroy the works of Satan in this city.  We have specifically included the strip clubs in these prayers. Yesterday the three story Scores strip club on Worthington Street was completely obliterated in a gas explosion, right down to the ground.  I believe this was the hand of God at work in answer to our prayers.  We are giving Him all the glory and praise for this occurrence, since it is only by His power that any of our prayers can have any effect." - Hate group leader Scott Lively, who closes by asking his followers to pray that God smites more strip clubs. 

FACT CHECK 1: Yesterday the Massachusetts state fire marshal revealed that the explosion was caused by a utility worker who accidentally punctured a gas line. Jeebus must be moonlighting.

FACT CHECK 2: Over twenty people were injured as a result the explosion that Lively prayed for and is thanking God for, many of them firefighters who responded to the scene.

RELATED: Lively's post is headlined "The Power of Imprecatory Prayer."  For those unaware, imprecatory prayers call on God to murder one's enemies. Some of God's Gentle People routinely invoke Psalm 109 (the source of most of these prayers) to ask God to kill President Obama.

World Net Daily: The Left Is Paying Trolls To Leave Comments On Our Posts

Head birther and raging crackpot Jerome Corsi, who says that President Obama is a Kenyan, Marxist, communist, Muslim bathhouse patron who is secretly gay-married in Pakistan, is now claiming that an unnamed leftist organization is paying trolls to leave comments on World Net Daily. Yesterday Corsi posted a list of clues on how to identify these mysterious "professional trolls."

The person’s posts are usually short and snarky, with reasonably correct spelling, grammar and punctuation, suggesting both intelligence and education. The posts are on the edge of acceptability, with little or no profanity or vulgar language that would get the post flagged immediately. The person has a high ratio of posts to the number of days on the site, suggesting he’s posting comments nearly full time and is getting paid to troll. The person posts politely on progressive websites but nastily on conservative websites, using the same username and IP address. The person’s posts are consistently belittling, rather than intelligent objections and points. The person’s posts address a broad spectrum of topics rather than focusing on one or two subjects of particular interest. The consistency is in the support of leftist policies and positions taken by the Obama administration.

Your check is in the mail, darlings.

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr To Resign

The family of Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr announced today that he will resign from Congress.

Jackson, 47, a South Side Democrat, has been treated for bipolar depression and has been on a medical leave from Congress since June. He has been under investigation by federal authorities for alleged misuse of campaign dollars and also has faced a congressional ethics probe. Although he did not wage a campaign, Jackson won re-election on Nov. 6 to another two-year term in the House by defeating a Republican and independent challenger. Under Illinois law, Gov. Pat Quinn, a fellow Democrat, would call a special election to fill Jackson’s 2nd District congressional seat, which extends from Chicago’s South Side to Kankakee.

Seven Life Sentences For AZ's Mass Killer

Jared Loughner, the man who shot Rep. Gabby Giffords in the head and killed six others, was sentenced in Arizona today.

The facts in the case were never in doubt. Loughner was the only suspect. The key issue focused on whether he would avoid the death penalty because of his mental health. After the shooting, Loughner was diagnosed with schizophrenia and underwent forcible psychotropic drug treatments. It was after those treatments that Loughner realized that he had only wounded Giffords, whom he saw as the personification of a government the shooter said he hated, prosecutor Wallace Kleindienst said in his comments to the court. U.S. District Court Judge Larry A. Burns, who presided over the proceedings, had previously ruled that Loughner was capable of understanding the charges against him. This paved the way for a plea agreement designed to ensure that Loughner would spend the rest of his life in prison without possibility of parole. Three months ago, Loughner pleaded guilty to 19 federal charges. The agreement includes the dismissal of 30 other charges and a sentence of seven consecutive life terms, followed by 140 years in prison. “The evidence clearly shows that he knew what he was doing, despite his mental illness,” Burns said in handing down the sentence. He called the length of the sentence justified.

As Giffords looked on silently, her husband spoke at the sentencing: "Gabby would trade her own life for one you took on that day. Every day is a continuous struggle to do the things she was once so very good at. Mr. Loughner, you may have put a bullet through her head but you haven't put a dent in her spirit and her commitment to make the world a better place. You tried to create for all of us a world as dark and evil as your own. But know this, and remember it always: You failed."

The Gays Caused Sandy, CTD

"The hurricanes of the last ten years are four times worse than the hurricanes of the 1990s and twelve times worse of the hurricanes of the 70s and 80s, now this is interesting because I would say that the United States has not been honoring God very much, am I out on a limb here? The United States of America is more pro-abortion than ever before, certainly is funding more abortions than ever before; the United States is far more homosexual than it was in the 1990s, I mean there are hundreds of times more high school homosexual clubs and programs, and you’ve got California bringing all their pro-homosexual indoctrination into public schools. This stuff was not happening in the 1980s and 1990s, it’s happening now, it’s been happening for the last twelve years. America is not doing well in the macro-culture, okay? There is a God in the heavens and in the past, sins like homosexuality and the shedding of innocent blood have really irritated Him." - Pastor Kevin Swanson, quote by Right Wing Watch. 

Swanson also says Christians should be wary of donating to disaster relief agencies because that money could possibly be used to rebuild a Planned Parenthood clinic somewhere.

Gays Caused The Frankenstorm

"Just last August, Hurricane Isaac hit New Orleans seven years later, on the exact day of Hurricane Katrina. Both hit during the week of the homosexual event called Southern Decadence in New Orleans! Hurricane Sandy is hitting 21 years to the day of the Perfect Storm of October 20, 1991.  America has been under God’s judgment since this event. Both of these hurricanes were cause by freakish weather patterns that came together to create. Twenty-one years breaks down to 7 x 3, which is a significant number with God. Three is perfection as the Godhead is three in one while seven is perfection. It appears that God gave America 21 years to repent of interfering with His prophetic plan for Israel; however, it has gotten worse under all the presidents and especially Obama. Obama is 100 percent behind the Muslim Brotherhood which has vowed to destroy Israel and take Jerusalem. Both candidates are pro-homosexual and are behind the homosexual agenda. America is under political judgment and the church does not know it!" - Pastor John McTernan, writing on his blog. (Via Gay Star News)

WND: God Sent The Frankenstorm Because Of US Mistreatment Of Israel

Right on wackadoodle schedule:

Journalist and White House correspondent William Koenig explained to WND that some of the United States’ most catastrophic storms and events have correlated closely with the nation’s God-defying attempts to divide the land of Israel. “When we put pressure on Israel to divide their land, we have enormous, record-setting events, often within 24 hours,” Koenig told WND. “Hurricane Katrina, 9/11 – we have experienced over 90 record-setting, all-time events as we have acted against Israel. And the greater the pressure on Israel to ‘cooperate,’ the greater the catastrophe.” Some of Koenig’s examples are startling. “Hurricane Sandy is expected to come ashore in the Northeast on the 21st anniversary of the ‘Perfect Storm,’” Koenig related. “That record-setting storm devastated the New England coast as President George H.W. Bush co-sponsored the Madrid Conference from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1, 1991.”

The comments there are hilariously stupid. Get the nets!

Quote Of The Day - Eugene Delgaudio

"The homosexual lobbies and blogs cried and stamped their feet. 'Give us our naked body scans of anybody going to the airport' and frequently mocked and attacked Public Advocate's frequent condemnation of absurd measures which included the 'naked body scan'. Many of these small minded 'perversion cheerleaders' even personally maligned and slandered Public Advocate leaders as 'fixated'. The homosexual lobbies fully support the invasive body cavity searches of elderly citizens, small children, young women and the absurd and dangerous X-Ray machines that scan the human form in minute detail--- anybody and everybody for little security reasons whatsoever.

"Now the 'naked body scanners' are being pulled to 'speed up' transit services at the largest airports in America. Slowing down thousands of travelers and explicitly exhibiting their body to a room full of TSA agents is 'no longer necessary'. This is thanks to your support of Public Advocate. As usual most of the 'negative' publicity in the Huffington Post and other 'news' groups did not impact Public Advocate's consistent political education program to oppose this front and center. Very few groups in America take the kind of political action that requires to stand up to the homosexaul lobbies like Public Advocate." - Hate group leader Eugene Delgaudio, taking personal credit for changes being made by the homosexual-run TSA.

A Gay Rights Activist in a yellow Tshirt, (his gay activist group all wore matching yellow Tshirts), approached me on the street at the DNC and said "in 29 states, you can still be fired if you're gay or lesbian," I replied that one can also be fired for being a Christian. A stranger approached and joined the conversation saying that 13 year olds are being confused and taught to embrace homosexuality, and then he added that his mother had become a lesbian and that it had hurt his family...
