El Paso suspect’s mother reportedly called the cops about him. That doesn’t mean a ‘red flag’ law would have prevented it

The following is an excerpt from Blaze Media’s daily Capitol Hill Brief email newsletter:

Attorneys for the El Paso shooting suspect’s family now say that his mother called police in the weeks leading up to the massacre because she was concerned about him owning his gun due to his age, maturity, and experience level.

This news will probably be used by proponents of “red flag” confiscation laws, because this information supposedly shows the suspect as a known threat before the fact. But the reasons why the suspect’s mother reportedly called police don’t get anywhere close to showing a grave or extreme safety risk (which is what these laws are supposed to be for) and wouldn’t merit stripping someone of rights and property via court order. One of the attorneys even told CNN, “It’s not like alarm bells were going off.”

But as the renewed push for new background check laws in Washington has already reminded us, when the emotion-driven calls to “do something” get loud enough, facts take a back seat to politics.

So will Joaquin Castro return all those donations he took from the Trump donors he doxxed?

Congress’s sleaziest unjailed doxxer, Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas, went and “outed” 44 Republican local San Antonio-based donors to President Trump’s re-election campaign. He got a lot of flak for it, of course. But instead of apologizing for his obvious effort to incite harassment of his own locals for exercising their constitutional right to participate in political campaigns, he doubled down with this unmitigated dreck:

 

 

 

 

Anyone who believes that Castro is capable of a ‘lament’ is out to lunch. His series of tweets were pure malevolence, worsened by a barrage of bald-faced lies trying to make himself look like the good guy.

It all went so swimmingly for him, too. Until Fox News turned up an uncomfortable fact:

EXCLUSIVE: Trump donors whose names and employers were posted in a highly controversial tweet by Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro blasted the Texas congressman on Wednesday for what they described as a “ridiculous” stunt and, in interviews with Fox News, rejected his claim that they are “fueling a campaign of hate” against Hispanics.

One of those Trump donors even revealed he’s also been a supporter of local Democratic lawmakers—including Castro himself.

And the Washington Examiner found out that there were six of them:

In attempting to embarrass constituents who donated to President Trump, Texas congressman Joaquin Castro appears to have overlooked the fact that six of those he named also gave cash to him and his twin brother, 2020 Democrat Julián Castro.

Joaquin Castro on Monday drew a torrent of criticism when the Twitter account operated by his reelection campaign listed 44 residents of San Antonio who donated the maximum amount to President Trump’s campaign for reelection so far this year.

“Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump — the owner of ⁦@BillMillerBarBQ⁩, owner of the ⁦@HistoricPearl, realtor Phyllis Browning, etc⁩.” the Monday tweet said. “Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.'”

So after declaring these donors as people who are ‘fueling a campaign of hate’ we now learn that quite a few of them also contributed to Castro’s campaign.

GOP chief Ronna McDaniel has the only really good response to this kind of jackassery:

 

 

It’s time to pay up, Joaquin. Your no-good brother Julian needs to return the cash, too. 

It’s tainted, dirty cash by Joaquin’s own reckoning, a cause for doxxing and harrassment.  The little creep needs to be told to return it or be politically tainted as a hypocrite forever. Even the Trump/Castro donors told Fox News they won’t be giving this little weasel who doxxed them any more of it. So now he needs to shell out, return the cash, because as he claims, it’s bad cash. Let this dirty stunt on normal Americans exercising their constitutional rights cost him something. Shell out, doofus.

Here’s a fine lagniappe from McDaniel, posting a disgusted statement from a Latina voter:

 

 

If he’s that out of touch with the local sentiment in San Antonio, and has drawn even the contempt of Latino voters for it, maybe it’s time for him to pack up anyway. Dirty stunts are beautiful things when they blow back into the faces of their malice-minded perpetrators.

Maryland Police Shoot and Kill a 61-Year-Old Man While Trying to Serve a “Red Flag” Order — Officials Say It Is “a Sign” the Law is Needed

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

Republican lawmakers led by Sen. Lindsey Graham and his cohorts are discussing new “red flag” laws to take guns from “unstable” individuals.

Last November a 61-year-old Maryland man was shot dead while police were trying to serve him a “red flag” order.

The local officials said it was a sign the law is needed.

The victim’s niece said the victim, Gary J. Willis, liked to speak his mind but was harmless.

Capital Gazette reported:

The Anne Arundel County police chief defended Maryland’s new “red flag” protective law Monday, just hours after a 61-year-old man was shot and killed while officers were trying to serve a court order requiring him to surrender his guns.

Chief Timothy Altomare said the fatal shooting in Ferndale was a sign that the law, which went into effect Oct. 1, is needed. There have been 19 protective orders sought in the county since then, tying Harford County for the most in Maryland, according to a report on the first month. Statewide, about half of the 114 orders sought have been granted.

“If you look at this morning’s outcome, it’s tough for us to say ‘Well, what did we prevent?’ ” he said. “Because we don’t know what we prevented or could’ve prevented. What would’ve happened if we didn’t go there at 5 a.m.?”

Prominent Dem stands up to the mob: ‘Donald Trump is no racist’

Trump-hatred may be good business for some, but the failure of Democrats to accept electoral defeat in 2016 and the escalation of violent imagery and rhetoric, the attempted coup via he Russia hoax, and the escalating violence against Trump supporters is corrosive to the political health of the Republic. There are still a few leaders among the Democrats – far too few – who are willing to stand against the insanity.

Given the smashing economic success of the president (remember James Carville’s slogan,“it’s the economy, stupid”?), Trump-haters have descended to race-baiting, claming that Donald Trump is a racist, white nationalist, white supremacist …  with future insults to be invented once these go stale.

One of the Democrat office-holders who knows Trump, the man, best is Andrew Stein, the longtime Borough President of Manhattan.  Taking to the pages of The Hill, he writes of the overwhelming evidence of Trump’s true attitudes on race. It is who a read, for it relies on facts, not just opinions.

Donald Trump is no racist. I have known him since 1973 and have never seen any indication or any form of racism. In fact, quite the contrary.

When I was Manhattan Borough president and president of the New York City Council, I asked him numerous times to help black or Hispanic groups, and he always came through, many times without publicity. When a hurricane ravished Puerto Rico in the mid 1980s, I asked many big companies to give various forms of assistance — but the problem was how to get all of this aid down to Puerto Rico. I called Donald Trump, and he provided us with a 727 jet to take all of the donated material down to the island, and he didn’t ask for any publicity for that generous act.

My friend, Rev. Floyd Flake, the minister of the largest black church in Queens, asked for some help for his senior center. Again, I called Donald Trump and he wrote a big check.

One day I met an African American woman on the street with her two adorable young kids. She was homeless, and I gave her some money — and then asked Donald to get her into some low-income housing in Queens. He came through, and did so without any fanfare.

When President Trump recently attacked Congressman Elijah Cummings(D-Md.), he was not doing so because Rep. Cummings is black but because the president is a counter-puncher. And he is right that Cummings has been a congressman for 22 years and that Baltimore, part of which is in his congressional district, is a mess. The city has gotten worse during his tenure: more poverty, more drugs and more crime.

There is much ore. Read the whole thing.

It’s time for the grown-ups among the Democrats to save their party from madness.
