Yesterday the Internet lit up with news that an active shooter had entered the headquarters of YouTube in California.
But if her weapon of choice — an illegal handgun — fits the norm for an attack like this, the shooter herself didn’t. I mean, first of all, she’s a woman — a 39 year old vegan bodybuilder animal rights activist. From Iran.
She attacked YouTube because she hated YouTube, even though she was a YouTube star, at least in her own mind.
She said they were suppressing her truth, they were discriminating against her. And she had some proof: detailed reports showing that YouTube was playing her videos hundreds of thousands of times — but only paid her 10 cents in ad money.
What’s the answer here?
I know our friends on the left hate guns, and wish they simply went away.
But the answer isn’t a dream-like fantasy of making all the guns go away, or hoping and wishing that criminals will read the “gun free zone” signs and abandon their evil plans.
There is no total answer. Good and evil are in everyone’s hearts, and we all have to govern ourselves every day, and we need laws to govern those who can’t govern themselves, but those laws are in the context of a free society, where you ought to have the right to rant and rave, and be a bit kooky, and be offensive too.
But if our systems miss a shooter like this, I hate to say it folks, but allowing ordinary citizens to protect themselves is the only way. We’ll never have the total feeling of safety and security that Bette Midler demands — that’s impossible, even for her, with her armed guards. But disarming the rest of us, as Canada is half-done doing, that’s no answer either.

“Those that hammer their firearms into ploughsheares end up ploughing for those who don’t ".!!
My best guess is that some mohammedan employee of youtube has flagged her video channels as inappropriate because it goes against islam for a muslim women to show any part of her bare body, so she was being chastised under islamic sharia law.
Once so flagged the other youtube employees (probably again a practicing muslim) was just deleting them as soon as they’re uploaded.

;;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-And I say why would anybody hate to see somebody protecting themselves… We should’ve been doing it for years.
Murder is already illegal… Self-defence should not be. EVER.!!!
I think so too. The shooter’s family should be thoroughly investigated, look closely at the father.
- Pretty much all of the big mass shooters have been deranged people, Democrats, Islamists or far leftists. If I was working for any of the big social media sites I’d be concerned. We’ve seen how little these companies care about people. I don’t go to Facebook (or any of the other sites) for news. If I see something interesting I’ll go to the site (I have the Breitbart app as well as The Rebel app & a few others). Wikipedia is okay for popular entertainment info but it’s not reliable when it comes to serious research of any kind. I don’t use it anymore & I’m betting fewer & fewer people do either. Trudeau’s attempt at censorship will come off as a corrupt & incompetent government attempting a cover up at any cost. It will backfire.
- Trudeau’s anti-Trump campaign is having exactly the type of results people should have expected. Trump is becoming more popular, Trudeau is becoming less popular. The US is getting economically stronger, Canada is getting economically weaker. Trump is fighting to make America safer, Trudeau is putting Canadians at greater & greater risk. Trump is putting the squeeze on North Korea without putting troops on the ground (so far at least), Trudeau is sending troops to die in Mali for nothing. Trump is sending the military to stop the caravan of cowards that’s threatening to enter the US, Trudeau has turned the RCMP into bellhops for fake refugees.
So, the signs announcing YouTube is a gun-free zone didn’t deter the shooter ….imagine that! Unstable people with murder on their mind don’t pay attention to signs.
Very informative discussion with Joel Pollak.
Soros funding has so many tentacles…not surprised this has cropped up with FB checkers.
Great interview with Candace Malcolm, I have appreciated her reporting on illegal migrants since the ridiculous/dangerous Twitter invitation by Trudeau. I’m certainly feeling scammed….and I’m tired of our government’s flailing, insisting we open our arms for parasitic lawbreakers.
I’m going to have to re-check those numbers tomorrow. The “Killed” number jump from yesterday seems awfully high. If they’re wrong, the data base should self-correct. We’ll find out tomorrow.
