[The Hill] Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) says Fox News host Bill O’Reilly should face jail time if he sexually harassed women.
"They have treated women very badly," she told host Chris Hayes on MSNBC’s "All In" late Wednesday while discussing O’Reilly and Fox News. "This really is a sexual harassment enterprise. They need to go to jail. Bill O’Reilly needs to go to jail."
"It shouldn’t be in America that you can sexually harass women and buy your way out of it because you’re rich."
Reports emerged last Saturday that five women accusing O’Reilly of harassment received a total of $13 million for agreeing not to pursue litigation or discuss their accusations.
The women, who were reportedly paid by either Fox News or O’Reilly himself, alleged complaints including verbal abuse, unwanted advances, lewd comments and indecent phone calls.

Hey Maxine...We can do a two-fer and have the Bills O'Reilly and Clinton share a cell. How's that work for you? Throw in Ted Kennedy's ashes if you wish for decoration.
[Daily Caller] Army Maj. John Spencer, a scholar the Modern War Institute, argued Wednesday the Army needs to create a school of urban warfare as soon as it possibly can.
Global trends make conflict in urban areas much more likely in the future, but Spencer noted in an opinion piece for the institute at West Point that the Army has not adequately prepared its soldiers to fight in this environment, which means that the service is violating one of its ten core principles.
For Spencer, the way to fix this major gap is to create a school of urban warfare.
As pointed out recently by Army chief of staff Gen. Mark Milley, "Army forces operating in complex, densely populated urban terrain in dense urban areas is the toughest and bloodiest form of combat and it will become the norm, not the exception in the future."
And yet, Spencer said the Army is woefully underprepared at this point to effectively fight in dense urban areas, which feature endless enemy positions, civilians mixed in with combatants, narrow alleys and close-quarter firefights.
"The Army is fighting in cities today," Spencer wrote. "It will find itself fighting in cities in the future. It is time to commit to preparing soldiers for this environment. To do so, the Army needs a school that provides soldiers the opportunity to build necessary skills, feel the stress, and mentally prepare for the hell of urban warfare -- before combat."
As it stands now, soldiers receive training on breaching small buildings and only sometimes get the chance to participate in live-fire exercises in houses. While it’s true that many soldiers have fought in locations like Baghdad, Fallujah and Ramadi, new units and new soldiers coming into the service lack this experience and have to start from scratch.

This is a good call. We need to be able to teach MOUT operations at a better level. If we are going to ask out troops to be door kickers we need to give them more than a simple exposure to it before we ask them to go forward and fight.

Cities are just meat grinders for armies and if one isn't really needed, I am for just leveling it with artillery and moving on.
In WW2 the Germans were astounded that the US Army was so concerned with line straightening that we had to clear the Hurtgen Forest. They then moved one good Infantry Division supported by totally green Volksgrenadier in there and lets us bleed ourselves white. Sometimes the best tactic is to just cordon off an area and whack it with indirect fire when it gets uppity.

You know, the Russians under Zhukov would encircle, bypass and just starve out centers of resistance...which explains their doctrinal rapid advancement metrics.
[American Thinker] As long as black people are permanent victims of relentless white racism, cops should not chase them, juries should not convict them, judges should not sentence them, schools should not punish them, and white victims should not complain about the black crime and violence so wildly out of proportion.
This is what a growing number of lawmakers, professors and, of course, reporters are prescribing as a way to "improve the way our system serves justice."
The latest came on NPR a few days ago when Georgetown Law professor and former federal prosecutor Paul Butler broke it down for the racially unenlightened:
"If you go to criminal court in D.C., you would think that white people don’t commit crimes," Butler said. "White people don’t use drugs, they don’t get into fights, they don’t steal, because all you see are African American people."
Before you pack your child off to Georgetown Law school -- or if you usually do not believe something too ridiculous to be true -- you might want to hear the distinguished professor wax at length on this video: Racial Jury Nullification at Georgetown Law.
One group of "African American people" Butler will never see in a D.C. court are the black people who beat the white husband of an NPR executive into a bloody, broken mess on the D.C. Metro line. You can find the details here from my account at the American Thinker, but not from NPR, which never covered it. NPR Another Victim of Black Violence and Denial.
Neither will Butler find the black people who attacked the NPR producer from Kentucky, in D.C. on company business. You can find the details of that in the scintillating best seller Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry. But not on NPR.
And yes, professor, black criminality is just as wildly out of proportion in Washington as it is in the rest of country. Even more so.
Butler says there are two justice systems in America, one for white people and one for black. He proposes to correct this inequity with a system of racial jury nullification to promote the new entitlement of black criminality: "I encourage any juror who thinks the police or prosecutors have crossed the line in a particular case to refuse to convict."

The result would be more raped, beaten, and murdered blacks than the Klan ever fantasized about, all done by other blacks.
Well, OK, some would be dead after thinking their new license worked in middle and upper class neighborhoods.

1. NPR should lose all of its funding, free licenses, interns paid for by tax dollars, etc.
2. This is nothing new folks. The outcry by the various factions of the left after the Trayvon Martin incident, Ferguson, etc., and NPR's willful refusal to cover the Christian-Newsome murders, are motivated by a simply defined narrative: black people should be allowed to do ANYTHING they want to whites, including rape and murder, and whites should not be allowed to resist or respond in any way.

Given the almost 'no go' zones in Chicago for cops, you also get what you deserve for what passes for civilization. Remember the old days when they cried for 'equal before the law'? Now they're arguing for exemption from the law. BTW, who promoted the environment of no fathers? Your experiment in wiping out thousands of years of social evolution for your modern, cosmopolitan alternative life style has failed and failed badly.

One of the earliest experiments in multiculturalism took place in Iraq. I believe it has been written about quite extensively. The stories differing only slightly with tribal separation the central theme. It's reported foundations are visible yet today. Tours of the site are/were available.

IIRC, Obama's Education department was already pushing this for schools. More blacks were getting suspended for disrupting class, fighting, etc. than whites. The "solution"? Don't suspend blacks. The result, of course: total chaos in the classroom.

Crime is no one's entitlement. What poppycock. If a person grew up poor, are they entitled to practice crime? How about wymen--are they entitled to tilt justice in their favor because they are wymen? Native Americans? What a load of cow pucky. Don't be surprised when people take the law into their own hands.

Unfortunately gets you three hots and a cot and shelter with 24 hour security. There should be labor involved for that. Else you sleep out in the prison yard like the dog that you are.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
