Brown owns Providence. They are stonewalling and potentially covering up. They scrubbed their websites of one student yesterday, the president said she didn’t know about it, and no one has definitively exonerated him: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/brown-tips-websites-deleted

So many red flags. We must presume that this individual is innocent, but even so, we must wonder why he is even allowed in the United States. And the faculty with their bonkers project 'Botanical Reparations: Psychoactive Plants and Indigenous People' and wish that Trump were dead. Even if they have no relation to the crime, there is a case for revoking their visas and/or residency and deporting them.

Brentwood is an old story, so no real interest in the details. Same with Bondi Beach: see drearily similar French, Brit, Dutch, German, and Spanish outrages ("they were on our radar...").
As for the two college-related attacks, it should be pretty easy for the cops to shake the trees hard enough to establish that the killers were not just one of the usual suspects. From that point on—I'm guessing we're well past it by now—it's crazy white folks doing crazy shit for crazy reasons all the way down. Somebody knows who, how, and why the perps (and their comrades in arms) pulled it off and will eventually find it useful to be the first to rat out them out.
I agree that Brown U.'s reaction -- or lack thereof -- is mighty odd.
And by "Brown U.", I mean the broader academic-media establishment/echo chamber too.Maybe we have all become benumbed to "school shootings," but I still would have expected all sorts of frantic, performative mourning, hand waving for therapy and help, calls for more gun control, etc. etc. All very quiet. Or am I missing something?
X is filled with Democrat politicians calling for more gun control. In the past, all that would be amplified by the legacy media and seem louder, but they’ve lost the power to control the narrative for the DNC. Recent SCOTUS decisions have made much of it pointless, so it’s all just boring reruns.
I do not want academic presidents to have any opportunities to pretend their campuses are like foreign countries. I don't even want there to be campus police. All these features lend themselves to politicization of higher education in very bad ways. Let them have security guards, but not their own fiefdoms. The local police should be the reigning police authority on campuses, as theiy are in ordinary ways everywhere else. They are not special, and the sooner students and faculty learn this, the better.
Of course what makes the uncaught killer LESS odd is the fact that the authorities with their "do something,do anything" attitude appear to have arrested, held, and tried to convict somebody entirely innocent (that assumption isn't based on the facts of the case, but on your generally trustworthy description).
Bondi? The father-son aspect is weird... I would like to know more about them..Was this religious zeal? Tribal vengeance? Or one of the two mixed with something personal? Perhaps we should investigate whether either were aspiring artists.
Reiner makes sense. The news always presents murders as a fait accomli with everything leading up to it as just "a chilling warning" of what was to come. But in fact it's been trickling out that he had a hard time at a party that night which culminated in his dad doing that shouting thing that he does so well on the screen, probably followed by being cut off and kicked out. In general, when people commit crimes of passion the causes ought not be looked at as "spooky forebodings of what was inevitable" but as, hear me out, CAUSES.
That won't brng back the dead or free the killer but honesty about what makes people snap will likely save many lives in the future.
The Portuguese physicist is something I can't speak to. I've lived in Portugal, a matter which allows me to say that the man probably spoke excellent English, but mot much more. As for Netanyahu "investigating" Iran, I think ot behooves is not to downplay the degree to which Trump has changed the culture.
His philosophy - so loudly and persistently insisted upon in The Apprentice - is radical self interest at a level that would have made Ayn Rand blush and saved Nietzsche's sanity. After Trump has denuded the social system so totally + in this, 2025 anno domini - it would be an obvious error bordering on insanity for Netanyahu NOT to float every possible trial balloon theory to his benefit.
Honesty, after all, is for suckers.
P.S. No, I do not support Trump's opponents (or Netanyahu's for that matter), one can refuse to vote for a giant douche without surrendering his vote to a turd sandwhich.
There was a father son serial killing team a few decades ago named something like Malvo. They set up the trunk of a car as a sniper nest and would shoot randos going about their days.
Really interesting stuff (from a human interest angle).
I'm guessing that if they weren't biological father-son we'd have heard about it. But were they living in the same house all their lives? It's really hard to understand a father doing this to his son.
Then again, I also don't understand why they would have had to go to the Philippines to stay in their hotel rooms talking to isis fellows.
Very odd.
I don't know what's missing here but there's got to be something, like them being blackmailed or having a personal gripe or...?
I'm guessing we won't realy ever fnd out for certain because the noise will drown out the signal and there's always going to be more noise, but I imagine that I'm not the only person perplexed by this so the noise-makers are going to have to land on *some* explanation for the oddity of a "father-son suicide mission in Australia".
The DC Snipers. That was about a decade before I moved to Northern Virginia, but it stuck with me since I used to regularly go to the Home Depot where they did one of their killings.
I don't recall ever hearing "gay" mentioned - Malvo's story was that Muhammad was a father figure to him, though that could have been exaggerated in order to get him a lighter sentence.
Wow. The DC snipers. I haven't thought about them in over a decade, which, of course, is exactly what The Guardians of the Narrative intend. If the older one hadn't changed his last name to Muhammad, and hadn't confessed that his motivation was religious, he'd still be alive today.
Most of those sentenced to capital punishment linger on death row for several decades, during continual appeals, until they're finally executed, die of natural causes, or get their sentences commuted. John Allen Muhammad, in contrast, was killed only five years after entry of judgment - without the usual spotlight media coverage.
There was an interesting book by a journalist about McVeigh, very similar to the narrative-busting books by other fair journalists about Columbine and Matthew Shepard. If it wasn't so damn cold here (I've never been colder than in the South) I'd go rummaging for them. As I recall, McVeigh was a registered Democrat but not at all political, beyond despising the feds for unnecessary use of young men as cattle fodder in unnecessary foreign wars. And he may have been influenced by some federal law enforcement posing as allies. Shepard and Teena Brandon were used to push hate crime laws when they were actually just meth-heads personally involved in buying drugs from their killers. Most shockingly, one of Shepard's killers had a druggie mom who also owed money and was identically tied to a fence and killed. Nobody considers that a hate crime, eh? And the Columbine killers were not unpopular, and had they served time for previous crimes, there would likely never have been a Columbine. Also, if their bombs detonated, hundreds would have died. Let's hope the feds learned something tactical, at least, from this. But I doubt they care. They politicized these crimes instead, destroying our entire equal justice system with hate crime laws and demonizing decades of white males, and females too.
I recall it reported at the time as father but in retrospect he was just a guy who dated the mother a little before taking the son and converting him to Islam.
Really? You'd be significantly more likely to take your stepson on a suicidal terrorist mission? Makes sense if you like the evolutionary psych model I suppose.
The MIT nuclear engineering guy is the most perplexing. That does potentially sound like a big loss for all of us and it's hard to imagine him being involved in any shenanigans that would have brought evil to his door.
Right. He almost certainly wasn't murdered by his wife or kids. They wouldn't do it in the foyer shared with the other two condo owners in the building.'
A carjacker? But why wait until he is in the foyer?
Home invasions are very rare in the U.S. due to homeowners being well-armed. Condos where you need to get through the front door in the foyer and then the front door into the apartment seem extra unlikely.
Occasionally, academics are murdered by grad students who have gone schizo.
Terrorism? Does anybody hate fusion energy?
The Iranian thing seems not impossible, but it's kind of a triple bankshot.
> Occasionally, academics are murdered by grad students who have gone schizo. <
This. Some sort of workplace grievance. Some young man whose career aspirations are coming undone seems like the most likely suspect.
Maybe Dr. Loureiro had to fire some white guy to give a job to a snappy black girl who showed special promise with her latest paper: "Plasma strands replicate patterns in traditional African-American hair braids."
MIT had--on the down-low--let it be known it was now ok to fire some of the "diverse" deadwood they'd taken on. And Loureiro had sacked one of the "diverse".
I think you’re probably right, though it occurs to me that maybe the murderer also confused the MIT prof with the similarly-named Zionist guy on X. It would be remarkable if three of these four murders turned out to have a Muslim angle.
I can imagine Iran asking its sleeper agents what high-value (to the US) targets they had access to, and one saying “I know where a nuclear science professor lives."
The lesson of Bondi Beach is that when you allow mass immigration of Muslims into your country you'll get lots more mass murders, but you never know, someday one of them might turn out to be a hero who's on your side. So it all evens out, right?
> The lesson of Bondi Beach is that when you allow mass immigration of Muslims into your country you'll get lots more mass murders, but you never know, someday one of them might turn out to be a hero who's on your side. So it all evens out, right? <
You snark, but the sad fact is that huge numbers of people actually think like this. "Oh, how can you say that? Swhatshisface is a so-and-so and he's "a wonderful neighbor"/"fought for our country"/"the nicest guy you'll ever meet"/"is my doctor"/"did a great job building my patio"/"working to cure cancer"/....
They are like Abraham quibbling with God. But God--however generous--understands statistics. What matters isn't the outlier, it is the overall effect of a particular population. Sodom was full of a bunch of psychopathic sodomites--God blasts it with a meteor.
Very, very well-put. But, still all credit to the hefty Arab man, a real man. A man who belongs in what was once Australia and will hopefully be honored for his values there, but will probably be accused at some point of loathing the culture of his origin instead. May he earn enough for his heroism to keep his family safe.
I’d be interested to hear Steve’s take on Susie Wiles. Saying Trump has the personality of an Alcoholic is the most apt thing I’ve heard anyone say about him that I can think of. (Caldwell is also usually apt.) But I’m not sure people really appreciated it. She was saying that Trump normally acts like he’s a little drunk, not that he acts like a sober drunk who hasn’t gotten drunk yet, which is how Trump interpreted it. Which is pretty funny, when you think about it…
Summerall drank too much all his adult life. But by the eighties, he was a constant, heavy drinker, sober only when hung over on game days. He suffered a ruptured ulcer, causing him to vomit part of his stomach, and required a liver transplant.
Trump's brother died from complications of alcoholism. Trump, a lifelong teetotaler, and Bush 43, NOT a lifelong teetotaler, strike me as dry drunks.
Being a consumer of tabloid media in New York since I was a child, it amazes me when anyone calls Trump a real drinker. It has always been well-known that he has never drunk alcohol in his life.
So why the pot legalization? He has more important things to do, and it ruins kids' lives faster than alcohol. Why turn on Elise Stefanik, who was on track to help New York turn light purple? He needs to pull hishead out of his ass over the holidays. The problem is listening to libertarians and leftitarians. And so-called non-populst centrists.
If centrists were honest with themselves, they'd be proud populists.
The hero of Bondi Beach was an ex cop and security force vet in the Assad regime. Doubtless he's pondering the irony of of all the trouble he went to leave the disorder and sectarian violence of Syria behind only to have it show up right in front of him at the invitation of the government of his adopted country.
Nick Reiner was a dead eyed zombie and useless eater. But now instead of his dad having to pay for him tyevr3st of his life the taxpayers have to pay for him the rest of his life.
Something weird is definitely up at Brown U, but we'll see how things play out. Some other substack writer on our team suggested the nice white lady president of Brown U is another one of those many people who like having a high status job but don't really like doing a high status job. Hopefully the situation at Brown is genuine bumbling and fumbling by people in over their heads, and not highly placed left wingers deliberately slow-walking an investigation out of sympathy for radical leftist violence. Because that would be pretty horrible to contemplate.
The MIT nuclear physicist murder seems bizarre. Something comparable happened in my nice Atlanta suburb when a nice UMC Jewish husband and father got gunned down dropping his kids off at daycare. That one got humdrum pretty quickly though when it turned out to be the wife's work supervisor with whom she was having an affair. The grad-student-gone-schizo scenario seems pretty plausible.
It may have nothing to do with his murder, but it is interesting that Reiner was a founder of the Committee to Investigate Russia, with David Frum, Clapper, Brennan, and other Trump haters. He was part of a Deep State op to push the Russia hoax.
Elsewhere on Substack (why doesn't this pass spellcheck here?), Jack Cashill is looking into the Reiner/Clapper/Brennan/Russia Hoax connection, after defending Trump's jibes, and links to a video of them here: https://x.com/RealSLokhova/status/2000919590449394156
There are indications Nick has been a terror since early childhood, long before drugs addled his brain. Yesterday, I noted his birth coincided with Rob's decline.
My first job out of college, after flailing around in the '82 recession, was with some nuclear PhDs trying to start a new grift at SAIC. They'd just finished consulting with Georgetown U on solar panels. Miserable year.
Earlier this year a group sent out letters urging campuses to turn off their surveillance cameras to hinder ICE. I can imagine Brown doing that, and then not wanting to admit that’s why they don’t have more footage of the shooter. “Sorry, we just did something to obstruct federal law enforcement. We didn’t intend to protect assassins! Oops!"
If one cannot be bothered to look through a website to pick out the specific page that supports one's claim, then no one else should be expected to do it.
There are two pages at the NILC website that use the word camera. Both are from the first Trump Administration. Still waiting for a cite that supports one's claim.
I followed that link. It is interesting how Fight for the Future managed to put a spin on anti-democratic resistance to free speech. I enjoyed reading their BS. However, the page did not say that Brown University actually turned off some or all of its surveillance cameras.
Laura Loomer is saying that Brown knows they’re in violation of their agreement with the DoJ to stop the whole Muslim immigrant student/activist/terror supporter pipeline. They’re panicking and covering up because they know Trump would love to bust woke academics for hiding jihadi assassins.
Brown owns Providence. They are stonewalling and potentially covering up. They scrubbed their websites of one student yesterday, the president said she didn’t know about it, and no one has definitively exonerated him: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/brown-tips-websites-deleted
So initial, circumstantial evidence indicates a violent, trans activist committed this atrocity and ultra-left wing Brown University would prefer that he/her escape justice than expose yet another LGBTQ+++ terrorist and bring yet more disrepute on that, ahem, "community".
Don’t forget the “Islamophobia” angle.
So many red flags. We must presume that this individual is innocent, but even so, we must wonder why he is even allowed in the United States. And the faculty with their bonkers project 'Botanical Reparations: Psychoactive Plants and Indigenous People' and wish that Trump were dead.

unabomber 2.0? yikes. Ted was smart enough to get away with immense (and too-largely forgotten) slaughter.
The Unabomber was turned in by his brother rather than caught by law enforcement.

Well, a crazy, failed academic European about whom they're otherwise being oddly vague. Academia has a plethora of soul-destroying features.

Excellent comment
I can’t be the only one with the word “Watergate” screaming in their head regarding Brown. The cover up is taking total precedence over the crime.
The Brown thing is odd.
Of course what makes the uncaught killer LESS odd is the fact that the authorities with their "do something,do anything" attitude appear to have arrested, held, and tried to convict somebody entirely innocent (that assumption isn't based on the facts of the case, but on your generally trustworthy description).

Was that father-son or gay? I can't recall.
step-father. maybe gay. maybe muslim. but iirc he was a dude who Malvo's mom liked.
also, serial killing isn't as odd a father-son bonding experience as suicide, which they had to assume this was likely to be.
In the video I saw, the son didn't even look down after his father was shot and fell. Murder/suicide pact, or just psychopathic?
Really interesting stuff (from a human interest angle).
I'm guessing that if they weren't biological father-son we'd have heard about it. But were they living in the same house all their lives? It's really hard to understand a father doing this to his son.

Wow. The DC snipers. I haven't thought about them in over a decade, which, of course, is exactly what The Guardians of the Narrative intend. If the older one hadn't changed his last name to Muhammad, and hadn't confessed that his motivation was religious, he'd still be alive today.

Father-son, both Muslim and black, IIRC. Think it was around DC. Something like 10+ murdered. Year or two after 9/11.
❤️ but STEP-father. John Allen Mohammed (sp?) was jis stepfather.
Which is a WHOLE different thing.
If the dad at Bondi was actually a step-dad the oddities are less odd.
Really? You'd be significantly more likely to take your stepson on a suicidal terrorist mission? Makes sense if you like the evolutionary psych model I suppose.

Good question.
I have the good fortune not to have had much experience first hand with alcoholics, so I'm hazy on what she is pointing to.
You are fortunate indeed.
She had experience with alcoholics. Her dad was Pat Sumerall.
Everything's turning into the "plate of shrimp" monolog from "Repo Man" this week.
Was Sumerall a binge drinker or the continuously tipsy type, which sounds more like Trump.
Summerall drank too much all his adult life. But by the eighties, he was a constant, heavy drinker, sober only when hung over on game days. He suffered a ruptured ulcer, causing him to vomit part of his stomach, and required a liver transplant.
Trump's brother died from complications of alcoholism. Trump, a lifelong teetotaler, and Bush 43, NOT a lifelong teetotaler, strike me as dry drunks.
Yet for all the drinking Pat Summerall made it to 82.
True dat! The human body can demonstrate remarkable resilience - for some. But I don't recommend that you test your body for that quality.
Being a consumer of tabloid media in New York since I was a child, it amazes me when anyone calls Trump a real drinker. It has always been well-known that he has never drunk alcohol in his life.

It may have nothing to do with his murder, but it is interesting that Reiner was a founder of the Committee to Investigate Russia, with David Frum, Clapper, Brennan, and other Trump haters. He was part of a Deep State op to push the Russia hoax.
Elsewhere on Substack (why doesn't this pass spellcheck here?), Jack Cashill is looking into the Reiner/Clapper/Brennan/Russia Hoax connection, after defending Trump's jibes, and links to a video of them here: https://x.com/RealSLokhova/status/2000919590449394156
There are indications Nick has been a terror since early childhood, long before drugs addled his brain. Yesterday, I noted his birth coincided with Rob's decline.
My first job out of college, after flailing around in the '82 recession, was with some nuclear PhDs trying to start a new grift at SAIC. They'd just finished consulting with Georgetown U on solar panels. Miserable year.
For most liberals, the most tragic thing about Brentwood is that no guns were used so they can’t use the tragedy to promote gun control.
Earlier this year a group sent out letters urging campuses to turn off their surveillance cameras to hinder ICE. I can imagine Brown doing that, and then not wanting to admit that’s why they don’t have more footage of the shooter. “Sorry, we just did something to obstruct federal law enforcement. We didn’t intend to protect assassins! Oops!"
One might want to provide a cite.
The National Immigration Law Center.
If one cannot be bothered to look through a website to pick out the specific page that supports one's claim, then no one else should be expected to do it.
There are two pages at the NILC website that use the word camera. Both are from the first Trump Administration. Still waiting for a cite that supports one's claim.
Sorry, it was Fight for the Future. https://www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2025-08-19-universities-dismantle-surveillance-protect-free-speech/
I followed that link. It is interesting how Fight for the Future managed to put a spin on anti-democratic resistance to free speech. I enjoyed reading their BS. However, the page did not say that Brown University actually turned off some or all of its surveillance cameras.
Or, if you have doubts,you could spend twenty seconds reading domestic terrorist sites. You'll learn a lot.
Maybe one is confusing the push to turn off camera to prevent their use to arrest protestors from retaliation versus the arrest of illegal aliens.

Laura Loomer is saying that Brown knows they’re in violation of their agreement with the DoJ to stop the whole Muslim immigrant student/activist/terror supporter pipeline. They’re panicking and covering up because they know Trump would love to bust woke academics for hiding jihadi assassins.
