New in PJ Media:
Florida State Attorney Monique Worrell is under fire these days for a decision she made several years ago that has come back to haunt her. Back in 2021, a man opened fire in a Wawa gas station parking lot in Kissimmee, shooting at one individual and several vehicles, totally at random. He was duly charged with attempted murder, but was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Now, however, he has murdered three people in another random attack, and Worrell’s actions on the first charge are gaining her some unwanted attention.
Central Florida’s WESH 2 made it clear Thursday that Worrell was very much on the defensive and was trying to deflect the blame for the actions of the killer, who bears the piquant and evocative name of Ahmad Jihad Bojeh. Worrell “emphasized that it was the court that found Bojeh not guilty by reason of insanity in 2022, with a judge’s order for his conditional release barring him from having guns and requiring outpatient mental health treatment.”
Oh, all right, then, except that Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier wasn’t buying it, noting that “regardless of the spin State Attorney Worrell is selling, she knowingly stipulated to an agreement that avoided a jury trial and allowed Jihad Bojeh to receive outpatient treatment instead of being committed to a state hospital.”
Most lamely of all, Worrell blamed rising healthcare costs for the later killings, saying that poor Jihad “couldn’t afford” the prescribed mental health treatment. Nevertheless, she revealed that he had received at least some treatment, for she blamed the mental health “experts” who treated him what happened later: “The mental health provider in this case found that that individual was not a danger to himself or others at the time of his sentencing, and based on that, the standard that is set forth in the statute prohibits the court from sentencing someone to involuntary commitment in a mental health hospital.”
To that, Uthmeier shot back: “She failed to pursue justice, and three men are dead because of her failure.”
Three men are indeed dead, although the failure is by no means only that of Monique Worrell. Fox News reported Tuesday that “Robert Luis Kraft, 70, of Holland, Michigan; his brother Douglas Joseph Kraft, 68, of Columbus, Ohio; and James John Puchan, 69, also of Columbus” were “waiting for assistance after car trouble were stalked from a distance before they were allegedly gunned down by a ‘frequent flyer’ with the criminal justice system in Florida.” That “frequent flyer” was, of course, Ahmad Jihad Bojeh.
There is more. Read the rest here.

“Frequent-flier” discounts lead to more, “business”. Whoda thunk it?
“We don’t know whether to hang you or not, but this here killing of Infidels has naturally gotta stop!”
Where are those mental institutions Trump said he was going build? They should fill up quickly with jihadists. At least the mahem would be at known locations. It is amazing how many of these Islamic “mental cases” are already known by authorities before committing violence, accompanied by the tell-tale greater-god boast.
Heaven help us – the courts are ignorant about Islamic conditioning that makes crazy-thinking jihad normal and erases the human value of non-believers, that is, anyone who doesn’t believe in Islam. That translates to war on the Infidels.

Yes – build them!

Judges are out of control in the US. Jury verdicts are being thrown out in favor of a Judge’s Woke ruling all by him/her self. Judges are making rulings that contradict the law such as not allowing the President to carry out immigration as he sees fit. It is judges who are throwing their weight around and acting as if they are untouchable. And so far they seem to be so.
