"Bike Tyson," also known as Anthony Brennan III, has through lawyers publicly apologized for his outrageous actions on the Maryland bike path where he assaulted three teens putting up George Floyd flyers last Monday.  The 60-year-old also lost his job.


After the police obtained an arrest warrant, Mr. Brennan turned himself into detectives on Friday evening. Each count of second-degree assault carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

“I am sick with remorse for the pain and fear I caused the victims on the trail, and online,” Mr. Brennan said in a statement released by his lawyers, Andrew Jezic and David Moyse. “I am cooperating fully with authorities. I am committed to making amends by addressing, through counseling, the underlying issues that led to my abhorrent behavior.”

The statement noted that several people had their reputations tarnished after they were incorrectly identified as suspects online. It said that Mr. Brennan “understands that his apology will not be enough to right his wrongs.”

I would think he would get a suspended sentence or probation plus anger management classes.

It's Judith Butler who is out of step with reality by making an idiotic statement that sex is a "social construct."  How the fuck are babies made if not for sex?  Butler should have been fired years ago.  Meanwhile, academics who understand the reality of sex get fired.

November is a long way off, but at this point the Senate looks good for Democrats to take back the majority.

He should have lost more than his hand, this woman-hating idiot.

An FBI affidavit filed Friday in federal court in Abingdon says 23-year-old Cole Carini of Richlands showed up at a hospital Wednesday with one hand blown off, fingers blown off his second and other shrapnel wounds.

He told authorities he’d been in a lawnmower accident. But authorities searched his property, and found explosives materials, rusty nails, pipes and pieces of flesh. They also found parts of a scorched letter that referenced tension “as he now approached the stage of hot cheerleaders” and “I will not be afraid of the consequences no matter what I will be heroic I will make a statement like Elliott Rodgers.”

Rednecks from Klamath Falls, Oregon, about 80 miles from my town of Medford, decided to make international jackasses out of themselves.

Just across the street, hundreds of their mostly white neighbors were there for decidedly different reasons. They leaned in front of local businesses The Daily Bagel and Rick's Smoke Shop wearing military fatigues and bulletproof vests, with blue bands tied around their arms. Most everyone seemed to be carrying something: flags, baseball bats, hammers and axes. But mostly, they carried guns.

They said they came with shotguns, rifles and pistols to protect their downtown businesses from outsiders. They had heard that antifa, paid by billionaire philanthropist George Soros, were being bused in from neighboring cities, hellbent on razing their idyllic town.

What these idiots don't understand is there is no organized group called "Antifa."  "Antifa" is shorthand for groups of protesters who are against fascism.  Those who are against them are pro-fascist then?

A century ago, Oregon was a hotbed for the KKK.  There are still lots of racists in this state, let me tell you.

This is one of the major reasons I didn't support Elizabeth Warren for president.  This jerk was a major political hack for her failed campaign:
