Like the Christine Rusczyk shooting, this is is going to be a long, ugly ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I am equipped to comment on, though, is the behavior of perhaps the most loathsome group of people in society today &#8211; <strong>Woke, Overeducated, Middle-class Progressive White Activists<\/strong>.   (Hereafter <strong>WOMPWAs<\/strong>).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And one of the things WOMPWAs like is standing around in groups of like-minded people, preaching to the infidels. Sometimes they are called protests, sometimes visuals \u2013 and, more accurately, group virtue signaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which is what they were doing on Friday, until of Mr. Sundberg\u2019s victims \u2013 Arabelle Foss-Scarabella, a single of mother of two who lived next-door to the late Mr. Sundberg &#8211; arrived on the scene:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/rebsbrannon\/status\/1548498745704124418?s=21&#038;t=PLMqEAMNmXelv8RbCRNbSg\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cIt\u2019s not the time\u201d, one of them progsplained a woman\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026who\u2019d been protecting her kids from this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"424\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/8b4eadd6-9b0f-472f-9079-059dd420d157-74670-00001a2c9aec3f5d_file.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82828\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/8b4eadd6-9b0f-472f-9079-059dd420d157-74670-00001a2c9aec3f5d_file.jpg 750w, http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/8b4eadd6-9b0f-472f-9079-059dd420d157-74670-00001a2c9aec3f5d_file-300x170.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/8b4eadd6-9b0f-472f-9079-059dd420d157-74670-00001a2c9aec3f5d_file-500x283.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><p>There is plenty of evidence that Sundberg was deeply mentally ill.<\/p><p>There is even more evidence that WOMPWAS are equally mentally ill, in their own way.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are times I miss the old website \u201cStuff White People Like\u201c.- a satirical, often hilarious look at the foibles of generally upper middle class, educated, urban honkies.
