Not a bad-looking girl. Nobody tells girls that a modest dress lets the imagination run more wildly. She is leaving the courthouse:

In summary: the 20-year-old above-pictured woman was sentenced to six months of incarceration over her drunken rampage on a flight from Australia to her home in the UK. According to the linked article, she goaded two male passengers to join the mile-high club with her. He behavior escalated to four hours of shouting obscenities, and then biting, kicking, and headbutting the flight attendants and passengers who tried to restrain her. [Link]

And my four comments:

1. Everyone knows that the buzz hits you harder on an airplane. There is nothing quite like nursing those two plastic cups of airline Merlot on a long flight.

2. She is truly fortunate that her “abusive language” during the flight didn’t inadvertently cross into the Hate Speech category.

3. The linked article quotes the sentencing judge’s rationale for the severe penalty, given her young age and the reportedly out-of-character nature of her behavior on that flight. It would be interesting to compare how harshly he penalizes nonwhite offenders. My suspicion is that sadists are overrepresented among criminal court judges and as such they relish opportunities to give draconian sentences to people who had made a mistake but are otherwise fundamentally good.

4. It’s not her fault.

For one, no boy of her tribe knocked her up and bound her into Holy Matrimony at seventeen. But it’s not those boys’ fault either. It’s the fault of those boys’ Boomer parents who told their sons to move out and go to college. But it’s not the Boomers’ fault either because all they ever knew is rising prosperity, so they were impatient to sever their financial obligation to their sons and daughters. Also blame the superannuated notion that you’re a loser if you live in your parents’ basement. After all, pooling family resources is smarter than squandering them on separate residences. It’s not young people’s fault that there’s been plastic in food all of their lives and that girls are encouraged to ingest synthetic birth-control hormones starting at puberty. Blame the general collapse of traditional order.

The responsibility for which rests on the men in roles of public leadership who weren’t nevessarily evil, but whose cowardice in a key moment had enabled the creation of the clownworld in which cute brunettes travel alone instead of having babies. It goes back to national leaders letting aliens establish themselves in Christian countries, where those guests then studied the weak-spots of our civilization to exploit for terminal value-extraction. One example in a long line of failed leaders that begins with Adam’s acquiescence to Eve is Woodrow Wilson, who had let himself be blackmailed into doing what he did. There was General Henry Graham of the federalized Alabama national guard enforcing the President Kenedy’s orders against his own conscience at the schoolhouse door, and governor George Wallace stepping aside.

Leaders will continue to fail but the few courageous ones among them offset the wages of past cowardice. This is why Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orban, Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and Donald Trump appeared at the right moments to undo the damage of their predecessors. The rest of us can hold the line. We know where and how; see the previous blog post.
