Dumb Thief Films Himself and Gives His Name in Clip on Stolen Camcorder

Proving once again that crime attracts the stupid or makes one stupid…  (Hat Tip: Ray Sawhill)

A man who stole a camcorder is a contender for the nation’s dumbest thief – after he used it to introduce himself and admit to stealing the gadget.

Houaka Yang, from La Crosse, Wisconsin, stole the camera from a car in the driveway of Republican state Senate candidate Bill Feehan.

[...]

‘This is my house, yes, and a stolen camera that I stole. But it’s OK, the cop won’t figure it out,’ Yang says during the 79 seconds of shaky video.

He tries to film a girl in his living room before she bats the camera away. Instead, he offers a tour of the kitchen and bathroom.

Then he adds: ‘Oh yeah, to introduce you, my name is Houaka Yang. So yeah, how do you do.’

He turns the camera to reveal his face and says with a smile: ‘And this is me. Hi.’

If this is the same guy, he was smarter two years ago…

I see, from that second link, that the guy is a Hmong.  VDARE has had a lot to say about the wonderful blessings the American Midwest has had, thanks to immigration bringing boatloads of Hmong to their region; see here.  The wages of diversity…

‘Diversity’ and ‘Equality’ Really Mean Uniformity of Thought

Two recent examples, where opponents of same-sex marriage find themselves silenced or questioned:

One from the U.K.:

Sir Paul Coleridge, the Family Division judge who recently launched a new charity to combat marital break-up, had been lined up as the main speaker at the annual event at the Law Society’s London headquarters later this month.

But organisers were forced to cancel it at short notice after the Law Society ruled that the programme reflected “an ethos which is opposed to same sex marriage”.

And one from Australia.

Professor Kuruvilla George, who is Victoria’s deputy chief psychiatrist, has signed a submission to a senate inquiry calling for a ban on same-sex marriage.

He is among a group of doctors, who in a letter to the marriage equality inquiry, say limiting marriage between a man and woman “is important for the future health of our nation”.

“We submit that the evidence is clear that children who grow up in a family with a mother and father do better in all parameters than children without,” the Doctors for the Family group says.

Victorian opposition attorney-general Martin Pakula said Prof George needs to explain to the government and the community why he should remain a board member on the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission (VEOHRC), given his views.

“The equal opportunity commission are regularly asked to deal with matters where people are alleging discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and I don’t know how Prof George can properly deal with those matters given the sentiments he’s expressed,” Mr Pakula told reporters.

Political correctness is another form of gleichschaltung.

Demographic Change Comes to South Korea

Forty per cent of men in rural areas have a foreign bride. As usual, diversity may prove problematic:

There are already growing concerns. Lim deplores the high dropout rate among biracial children and suggests they “face a future as the country’s permanent, racialized underclass.”

Diversity is Strength!

A bunch of my favorite blogs have been devoting a lot of attention to the Zimmerman-Martin case. As a Canadian, I would find virtually anything else more interesting, so I sure the whole affair wraps up quickly, one way or another.

However, this has been a useful reminder of the pathologies of  (certain) diverse societies, and how, in large ways or small, those pathologies affect us all.
