Several Remain At Large
From Stop The ACLU, back in March:
UN Human Rights Council: Silent, Indifferent, Criminal
Have you ever actually seen an elephant go 1000% ballistic in a china shop? Maybe you have, but it’s been a while.
Hot Air has a refresher on the proper procedure how to make the UN Human Rights Council squirm like the worms they are: make them face the truth about themselves. Hillel Neuer, the executive director of UN Watch, an organization which holds UN accredited NGO status, went utterly medieval on the bastards. Really. It’s as good as the Spartan warrior Dienekes wanting to fight in the shade when hearing that the Persians had so many arrows that their volleys could blot out the sun.
Click the link above. Watch the clip. Go to the UN watch webpage. See real truth be spoken to really rotten power. Hear the cowardly reaction of the Council president. Hear him, for that matter, confirm every point made by Hillel Neuer.
Remember it when it counts.
Okay.
Police Arrest Norwood Man For Needham Homicide
[…]
In a separate incident, Needham police received information that there was a man with a gun in downtown Needham this afternoon. Police placed all schools in Needham, as well as the public library, under lockdown.
Police approached Stone Hearth Pizza on Great Plain and Dedham avenues, with guns drawn. Chris Robbins, co-owner of Stone Hearth Pizza, said the manager told him a man came into the restaurant, “very agitated.” “He used the bathroom and actually came out dressed in something different,” Robbins said. The manager called the police and told employees and three or four customers in the pizzeria to leave, according to Robbins.
At one point, an employee was believed missing, Robbins said, but all employees have since been accounted for.

in Needham gun scare
Request permission to snigger, sir.
The pizza store story doesn’t mention Neuer. Is the link beneath the screen cap supposed to? Cause, it seems to be broken.

Forgot to close the parenthesis.
Gavin, this Doktor Bimler is fake. Look up his IP address and you’ll find the fucktard that’s been making all the ugly fake comments.
What Johnny Coelacanth said.
Needham gun standoff
Linky no worky.
A Google news search for “needham gun standoff Hillel Neuer” turns up nothing.
Perhaps it’s a pun?
Fake Doc, take a breath – when your hands are that shaky you end up looking really really stupid.
…er.
A description of the pizzeria standoff here. Fox 25 video report on it accessible here (click on “Bob Ward reports”).
“narly”?
Just when you think trolly-poo can’t get any more pathetic.
On topic: I don’t understand what the article has to do with the UN Watch guy either – is the link right?
I redid the link. There’s a video there.
Hillel Neuer, who lives in Geneva, Switzerland, gave a lecture at Yale (in New Haven) on Thursday evening. I suppose it’s possible that he freaked out, got a gun, drove up to Needham, and got himself arrested on Friday, but it seems unlikely. You think you might check on the facts here?
Oh, and he’s scheduled to give a talk in Michigan on Monday – we’ll see if he shows up.

Um, Mr. Person-Who-Is-Imitating-People, I asked you to stop doing that, or to use the link box as is customary.
I’m not going to be able to sit here and moderate your fake comments all night, so please stop now.
He didn’t have a gun; the police are just charging him with disorderly conduct. It was absolutely Hillel Neuer; the video mentions him by name.
He’ll have to learn to be more selective about exhibiting the batshinola side of his personality.
I’m going to guess that Neu!er goes through life in an agitated state and just got caught up in some local fewfaraw that meant the police had to arrest somebody. I hope the PD don’t torture a confession out of him to save face.
That backward moonwalk he did was very slick.
Sounds like excessive alarm. 😉 Yay for the police state.
Some fine hallogallo he’s got himself into.
Looks like Hillel picked the wrong day to throw a temper tantrum in Needham.
Ha! He did look like he was moonwalking.
Maybe his flip out was a delayed reaction to all those evil Unicef boxes he saw on Halloween. I keep leaving my son’s in the backyard but the black helicopters still haven’t picked it up.
Yeah, the video mentions Neuer by name. Wonder what it was all about?
The news story does now too: “Police apprehended a man, later identified as Hillel Neuer, in the incident. “
The written news story, I should say.
You usually have to leave an upside-down cross and a burning American flag with the coin box before the extract it, Lawnguylander.
I hope the PD don’t torture a confession out of him to save face.
I think they’ll need to waterboard him.
Um, I’m really tired of going to wingnut sites, so I didn’t click over. Is the story that basically this asshole issued a press-release, and he’s calling that “speaking truth to power?”
Puh-lease.
Can we please get a can of Troll-B-Gone spray?
The video says he’s charged with disorderly conduct after people in the CVS and pizza shop said he gestured as if he had a gun.
I do love the video of him surrendering. He’s clearly terrified. Is that wrong?
Not sure about the point. I’m gonna get stoned, make dinner, pour a drink and come back and examine all of this in the cold light of, well, stoned, well fed, semi-druken analysis. And I’ll report back.
I promise….
mikey
I do love the video of him surrendering. He’s clearly terrified. Is that wrong?
Only because it would be more right if it were Dick Cheney being brought to justice.
Are you deleting some of the trolls? I hope the fake Doktor is being deleted.
Liberals apparently think that ad hominem attacks should invalidate Neuer’s criticism of the UN.
The murder of Vincent Foster didn’t discredit the Clintons’ presidency in the eyes of liberals. Neither did the framing/castration of Wayne DuMond.
So why should Hillel Neuer’s alleged involvement in this Massachusetts incident invalidate the work of UN Watch?
I put the fake comments in the moderation queue. What should I do with ’em?
I bet it would be fun to make a post with them, once you’ve collected enough.
I put the fake comments in the moderation queue. What should I do with ‘em?
I think it would be fun to find out if they all came from the same IP address, and match that to Beth/Ben/Saul whoever. Ok, not sure about the -fun- part, but edifying.
Some fine hallogallo he’s got himself into.
Simply an imglücky circumstance.
I agree with Johnny. And g.
As for Hiller, I have to say I’m no fan of the police arresting folks because they’re acting weird. Jeez, if that happened a lot, I wouldn’t be able to say I’d never been arrested. Back in the day I was often Totally Fucked Up, and acted weird in public a lot.
I remember one time in particular: A nice tab of blotter acid in my system, my head was magnetized by the floral department in a grocery store, and my friend had to drag me out of there, as I repeated, “Did you see the flowers? Wow! Did you see the flowers?”
On the other hand, this is someone who goes about blathering about the Evil UN. It’s nice that the world gets a good look at him acting nutty. Of course, this will not impress his fans. They’ll just think he’s being targeted to disappear into some UN gulag.
Oh yeah, they all come from the same IP address. I don’t want to blow anyone’s cover in general, but [mumble mumble] uh, thingy. Yeah, it’s someone like that.
Sorry if I’m being overzealous with the personal-info stuff.
It’s some annoying person who isn’t here at the moment.
Hillel was supposed to bring me a fresh goat tomorrow.
Damn.
Test
Oh yeah, they all come from the same IP address. I don’t want to blow anyone’s cover in general, but [mumble mumble] uh, thingy. Yeah, it’s someone like that.
Thus adding further fodder to my GUTT (Grand Unified Troll Theory).
What should I do with ‘em?
Start a new thread reserved specifically for name-spoofing?
Wow. You know something weird?
OK, so back during some stupid fucking outrageous thing back a while a go where Dianne Feinstein, my senator, fucking caved as she always does, I wrote her an email. And I got back a stock reply.
Actually, just today I was thinking about writing her again, about her fucking caving AGAIN on Mukasey. But I didn’t bother.
Anyway, I just got this email – text only –
Dear Mx. g:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter regarding Mr. Limbaugh’s derogatory comments about members of our Armed Forces in Iraq who are critical of the war.
Americans are very divided in this war as you know. I do not believe that our peoples in uniform should suffer the bombast of Mr. Limbaugh. And the letter by 40 Senators says essentially that no soldier in Iraq is a “phony soldier.”
Thanks for writing. Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator
“peoples in uniform”???????? “suffer the bombast”?????
Is someone sock-puppeting DiFi? I actually got a form-letter type response from her office about 4 days ago, with some mealy-mouthed crap about why she did what she did. It was mealy-mouthed crap, but at least it was recognizable as senatorial mealy-mouthed crap. This message is totally unprofessional. It sounds like it was written by an Eastern European immigrant who’s 14 years old and lives in Van Nuys.
I would assume that a real Senate letter would also list their state they represent. How’s the email “from ” address look?
The addy looks exactly the same as the one I got a couple days ago.
here’s the message I got a couple days ago:
Dear Mx. g:
Thank you for contacting me to express your views about the advertisement MoveOn.org placed in the New York Times on September 10, 2007 regarding General David Petraeus. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to respond.
I was disappointed to learn of MoveOn.org’s advertisement criticizing General Petraeus. When he testified before Congress in September, Congress and the American people were hoping to hear a new strategy on how to forge political accommodation in Iraq. While I did not agree with all of General Petraeus’ recommendations, I felt that the MoveOn.org advertisement was inappropriate and unhelpful to the larger debate about our policy in Iraq.
On September 20, 2007, I joined 71 of my colleagues in approving Senator John Cornyn’s (R-TX) amendment to the fiscal year 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 1585), expressing the sense of the Senate to reaffirm support for General David Petraeus and strongly condemn personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the United States Armed Forces.
Again, thank you for writing. I hope you will continue to keep me informed of issues important to you. Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator
OK, neither message mentions California. But this message is perfectly believable as a message from a senator;s office, the other one is weird.
oh, sorry. you are moderating. delete the dupes.
are the comments broken becuse it’s daylight savings time eve?
Are there problems, g?
Check, check, testing one two three . . .
Sheeit, I’ve got to remember to turn the clocks back. I should go do it now before I’m too buzzed to get up on the step ladder. (High clocks, short Candy.)
‘gary’,
I couldn’t go to Nerd Night tonight, so your comment cheered me up. Really!
Neuer acting nutty and threatening in Needham is exactly the same as Foster’s suicide and Dumond’s castration!
Really, it is.
I’m just laughing and laughing because I am a crazy lieberal!
Thanks!
It was pretty obvious who it was. And I seem to remember him doing something similar during his previous appearance here, though on a much smaller scale.
Why’d Neuer take an hour before finally surrendering? Was he trying to make sure his choreography was just right?
And why do I now have an image of a Leno-esque “The Dancing Neuers” troupe showing up at his next public appearance?
oh, i was trying to post something and it didn’t appear. Its not important anyway.

This can substitute for my entire blog.
Hello. Is this thing on????
The fact is, this comes from a different IP address.
OK. i’m going to go curl up with the Zinfandel bottle and watch a re-run of Galazy Quest.
See you all in the morning.

Who could?
Good job Cid – you found the link to the Boston Herald article. It is indeed the same Neuer (I have much familiarity with the matter). Neuer was in Needham, Mass., because he was skedded to make an AJC speech on Sunday (Nov. 4) and was staying with a host family in Newton, where many Mass. Jews live. He’d ducked into the pizzeria in nearby Needham to order a Kashireh slice or so (mushroom and cheese) and while awaiting heat-up went into the men’s room to change his clothes (don’t know why — a bit odd but he might have needed to put on a suit for some reason). Quite coincidentally, the town of Needham has just experienced an unrelated bludgeoning murder so the cops and everyone else in town was a tad apeshit as the unrelated suspect was manhunted hither and thither.
So … someone working in the pizzeria called the cops cause they thought it odd that a man was changing clothes in their bathroom and made the mental leap that this might be the bludgeoner altering his clothes and appearance and cleainng up to escape. So the cops vroom up guns at high ready and someone shouts “gun!” (we don’t know why) and Hillel dives under a table and now the cops think he’s taken cover to shoot it out and everyone gets into a Grade A twist.Cops think it’s the killer planning his final stand behind the pizza table. And Hillel? — well no doubt he thinks it’s the IslamoFascists coming to get him in their black helicopters cos he’s been spluttering like a right-tard about the UN and its terror-coddling, Israeli-murdering ways .
So … finally someone manages to arrange a surrender and Hillel is cuffed and gets a disorderly charge and is freed into the custody of his AJC pal.
So the whole thing is one great loon-athon, with the cops going Code Infrared and Hillel thinking Osama has finally GPS’d him and sent the al-Qaeda Veggie Pizza brigade to bag him in a suburb of Boston, epicenter of the UN-loving fifth columnists and frogified surrender monkeys. The whole thing is a major hoot because let’s face it — Hillel was being ethnically profiled because as a mop-topped Hebrew with oversized schnozz he looks like what most of the Bushists he adores think of as arabs=jihadi=cameljockeys=homicidebombers.
anyway, there you go — three-dimensional post-9/11 clusterfuck islamofascist-style.
eyeball
you didn’t mention the CVS part of it. what did he do in there? it sounds it led to the problem. so i’m going to wait on that one.
i was there today, it was raining and miserable. my plane barely escaped. crazy.
and in hillel’s favor, he’s the first right wing asshole i’ve read about in weeks who wasn’t a closet case, a rapist, a pedophile, or a closet case rapist pedophile.
Not sure, Robert Green – one cop said he was picking up a razor – also he was a bit bug-eyed when he was shopping and ordering and paying and so on, but that’s his natural state and should not be cause for cuffing. Still, if I follow the logic of Wingnuttia, a few hours on the waterboard is certainly merited and then we’ll know what we need to know.

No, that’s for those who use _terror_, not people whose unpredictable behavior and threats of violence make others fearful.
I am still waiting to see an elephant go 1000% ballistic in a china shop. I had always imagined the elephant in the corner of the china shop as just sitting there quietly, hoping not to be talked about. Searched on You-Tube but to no avail. To go ballistic, presumably it’s been fired from some piece of mediaeval siege machinery. Must be the mother of all trebuchets.
I put the fake comments in the moderation queue. What should I do with ‘em?
Waterboard ’em. I hear they enjoy that.
…they all come from the same IP address. I don’t want to blow anyone’s cover in general, but [mumble mumble] uh, thingy.
I imagine that Gavin M. is leaning over backwards not to be like Protein Wisdom. Back a while ago, the PW proprietor issued a request for financial support from his readers. The sainted Elendil placed a comment which turned this request into a parable of US policies in Iraq. Hilarity and hi-jinx ensued, with Elendil defending her argument with great eloquence and forbearance, until PW dude trumped the discussion by announcing what he could deduce about Elendil from her (?) IP address.
This was about the time when PW was demanding that everyone follow his newly-announced rules for blogger integrity.
I’m sorry, my hippie friends, that I was unable to spar with you this weekend. But it’s not my fault, it’s society’s. Or whatever other thing you hippie types like to blame. More importantly, don’t forget to vote for the sad in the weblog awards!
Don’t you guys think it would be funny if a blog that believes ‘shorter [insert person here]’ is funny actually won the ‘funniest blog’ title? I do! They’ve already gotten two votes from me. VOTE!
We can make a difference, my hippie friends. Instead of whining about the cause du jour, we can take a second and vote the sad into the history books! Put down your ‘Bush lied, people died’ and ‘We Hate America’ signs for just one second and click that link!
“This was about the time when PW was demanding that everyone follow his newly-announced rules for blogger integrity.”
Those were the days, weren’t they? George Bush was still a genius, we were still winning in Iraq (we’ve always been winning in Iraq, sorry, sorry), Godlstein’s cock still roamed the earth. Good times. Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
Whoa! There it is again! Right above Johnny Coelacanth’s post, there’s this weird jumble of symbols and word fragments. Can anyone else make any sense of this? That’s so weird.
What’s that you say, Mrs. Robinson? Jotten Joe has left and gone away.
I’m hoping this guy is busted for some sort of narcotics-related charge. That would make me giggle.
The sainted Elendil placed a comment which turned this request into a parable of US policies in Iraq.
Here’s the relevant Sadly, No! link.
A huge, round, blazing-white, pudgy, heavy-breathing thing with thick glasses and an inhaler just said something about a laffer curve and fun with electrodes applied to muslim testicles.
What was that?
It’s as good as the Spartan warrior Dienekes wanting to fight in the shade when hearing that the Persians had so many arrows that their volleys could blot out the sun.
Boy, that 300 shit is better than freebasing Viagra for these types, isn’t it?
Dammit, my “pie” script still doesn’t work!
Mine only works on Balloon-Juice. It’s probably a difference in tag/element name or something.
I just followed that link about Elendil, and there was Mal de Mer in the comments. Oh man, that came to a bad end.
But, on topic:
Just what the hell kind of power do they think the UN wields in this world? Why do they want it gone so much? It must be some kind of impulse to empire that they feel the UN is restricting.
Well, guess what, boys and girls? The UN hasn’t done diddly to stop us with the whole waterboarding thing. That should demonstrate how much influence and power the poor thing holds.
God, I can feel my idealism slipping away. I used to think the UN makes a difference, but now I see that it can’t stop the biggest threat to human rights in our country’s history. That’s a big blow.
“…a blog that believes ’shorter [insert person here]’ is funny …”
Far be it for me to call into question the blazing intelligence and razor-sharp satirical insight for which right-wing trolls are known, but do we suppose Kevin realizes that it’s actually the bit AFTER the “shorter” title that’s meant to be funny, not the title itself?
I can just see Kevvie at a comedy club. “Why did the chicken cross the road?” asks the warm-up act. “What’s so funny about that?” screams Kevin before the punchline can be delivered. Then he storms out.

Yeah, I’m sure that’s part of it. But that still doesn’t explain the sheer pants-wetting terror that some right-wingers seem to have about the UN, the whole “Black Helicopters” fantasy, the fear of “a highway from Canada to Mexico”, etc.
I think it might ultimately be an expression of Xenophobia, or maybe fear of losing power. Like the UN is a foreign thing, yet supposedly has some power over the US, and this makes them terrified. Fear of a world-empire that will “take them over”. Fear that they will have even less power than now.
None of it’s realistic, as the UN is mostly controlled by the US now, and, frankly, the forces that are taking away their economic power now have nothing to do with the UN. It’s fear, powerlessness, and xenophobia twisting around in a feverish dance, in their minds, I think.
Though, Chan, this Neuer guy doesn’t sound like one of the “Black Helicopter” crowd. I think the “Black Helicopter” crowd is more the Paleocons. The Neocons just have hatred and contempt for the UN.
But HOW WAS THE PIZZA?
Why do I get a flashback to to this 1999 story?
Robbio is now an agent for religious writers such as Joel C. Rosenberg.
Oh, sure, the UN isn’t an all conquering global dictatorship yet.
But, you know, if Hillary Clinton and her globalistic communistojihadofeministifascists is elected, then just how long do you think it will be before the Sino-Russo-Blue Helmet forces are patrolling our streets and forcing us all to, well, you know the routine.
Keep in mind that there is a second kill-file:

I am still waiting to see an elephant go 1000% ballistic in a china shop.(…) To go ballistic, presumably it’s been fired from some piece of mediaeval siege machinery. Must be the mother of all trebuchets.
I think a naval steam catapult would do it. As a bonus, it would make a huge splash.
What is “1000%” ballistic, anyway? Ten times the ballisticity?
What is “1000%” ballistic, anyway?
Dammit, there’s never a mathematician around when you need one. Usually the place is lousy with ’em.
Qetesh? If a ballistic trajectory can be described mathematically as a parabola, what happens to the equation when you add 1000%?
mikey

That would be a mangonelephant.
what happens to the equation when you add 1000%?
Now you’re just being hyperbolic.
mikey, you rule.
Qetesh? If a ballistic trajectory can be described mathematically as a parabola, what happens to the equation when you add 1000%?
MIkey, that results in what we in the trade refer to as “a whoa-fuck moment”.
Since we’re on the subject of ballistae, they would probably have to use a siege onager (so-called because it kicked like a donkey), which was the largest siege weapon.
Mind you, the bloody thing would create a bit of disorder in a china shop even without the elephant. With the elephant, you’d be picking pachyderm paste out of your filigree for months.
“Ballista” sounds like it should be the word for a catapult operator. So long as he or she is in the early 20s, and has a grunge t-shirt and a nose stud.
Everyone knows that the best onagers are imported from Ballistan.
Actually, the more I think about this “ballistic elephants in china shops” scenario, the less plausible it seems. It doesn’t smell right. That’s why I’ve been putting it to the empirical test, using a cardstock trebuchet, a brass-paperweight elephant, and the jewellery shop across the road. And I was right… it just doesn’t work in practice. Another MSM fabrication.
Anyway, officer, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I’ll see your cardstock trebuchet, Doktor, and raise you this Lego trebuchet. Mine’s even got engineers and a soundtrack by Tool, which inevitably makes it a better weapon.
With the elephant, you’d be picking pachyderm paste out of your filigree for months.
That warning would be better directed to Mickey Kaus.
I have been in many china shops, and let me tell you this: it’s a rare china shop indeed that will even fit a regular elephant, let alone a ballistic one. It’s the ceilings, you know. Even if the walls are wide enough, why would anybody put an elephant’s worth of headroom into a china shop?
I’m just saying: something doesn’t add up here.
John, they may be referring to the Howondaland hermit elephant, which moves into your house (or china shop) while you’re out, and then walks off wearing the thing like an overcoat. *

Weird blogworld tie-in: Earlier this week, the inestimable Tbogg had a post notifying those of us in the reality-based community that Michelle Malkin was going
Jessebatshite about a new horror. The town of Needham added yoga classes to the high-school curriculum after a series of stress-related suicides by students. Apparently stress relief is an islamofascist plot.Seems like Mr. Neuer could have used a few of those classes, though. Even if they didn’t relieve his stress sufficiently to keep the locals from mistaking him for a murderer fresh from a kill, it would have improved his flexibility when he needed to dive under the furniture or moonwalk for the SWAT team…
hey g, FWIW I got the exact same email from DiFi, and had pretty much the same response.
