'Belgian civilization' is an oxymoron

A few guys thought it was funny to slit a cat's throat (a kitten, really) and watch it bleed to death on video.

The phrase 'sick fucks' comes to mind.

Now, if this were a vigilante blog, I would ask you to decrease your speed to about 15 mph when you see them walking in front of your car, so they'll suffer a lot of pain and don't die instantly.

But this isn't, so I won't.

Alternatively, you could tell them how you feel by availing yourself of their personal information, which is thankfully present online here.

The people involved are:
• Kishor Nokayonokatsu, 26 years old, responsible for killing the cat,
• Glenn van den Meerssche, 15 years old, who filmed the scene.

Your letters may not be answered immediately, as the people involved have been arrested by Belgian police.

May they be put in a straitjacket impregnated with mackerel essence, and thrown into an isolation chamber together with about 20 very hungry cats. Or 10, so they get nibbled to death a bit more slowly.

(You can find the video here, but I recommend that you don't watch it unless you've got a really strong stomach.)

London attacks are acts of war, not crimes

An expert on Sky News just offered this bit of wisdom: the attacks in London are not acts of war, but crimes. For in case of true warfare, such as the IRA waged on the UK, the terrorist group makes demands.

Here I was thinking that the Dutch make the best pot in the world.

In crime, there is usually an objective of material gain, or of personal revenge. (Drive-by shootings, mob killings, etcetera, are usually intended to indirectly maximize material gains in the long run.) That is, if there is such an objective, as some crimes, such as involuntary manslaughter, are accidental. Some criminals do make demands (blackmailers and hostage takers come to mind), others simply take what they want.

So forgive me if I don't buy the whole 'making demands' thing being integral to terrorist warfare.

What is happening in London doesn't fit in any crime category. And if no demands have been issued (I'm not sure whether that's true), it should give pause to said expert. For if an enemy doesn't issue demands, it usually means he doesn't want to negotiate, and fight western civilization to the death.

Which the next of kin of 56 Londoners can attest to.

About Ché

This article from The New Republic, not exactly a right-wing rag:

Guevara might have been enamored of his own death, but he was much more enamored of other people's deaths. In April 1967, speaking from experience, he summed up his homicidal idea of justice in his "Message to the Tricontinental": "hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold-blooded killing machine."

I do own a Ché shirt, but I think I can be forgiven since it's this one.
