Real History and Judgment Day on a Terrorist

The above presupposes that the whole suicide episode is not a clever plot hatched by his lawyers to get him a release on compassionate grounds, whereupon the ‘brain dead’ Rubin will make a trip to
Lourdes. . .

UP early to take Jessica to school; outside it is still dark and drizzling with London’s characteristic dirty, dark rain, like old paint-water, so we take a cab. The cabby is a cheerful Cockney. I challenge him to tell me a way to get to
Grosvenor Square from South Kensington without hitting a single traffic light; he leaps at the mental puzzle, which I thought was impossible, and comes up with a very involved route — he knows the names of every street and alley, too.

We both chuckle loudly the whole way there and back. Best of British.

Several e-mails about the apparent suicide-attempt by Jewish terrorist leader
Irv Rubin in a California jail and his alleged consequent “brain death”. (One small mercy is that the press have stopped using his full first names, Irving
David).

Michael Rivera of www.whatreallyhappened.com
writes this:

I
have a major problem with this story.
Prisoners are given cheap disposable
razors to use because they cannot be
made into weapons. I just took one
apart. The actual blades are attached
to the plastic head to make them stiff.
Without the plastic part, the blades
have no rigidity at all. I just tried
to use one to slice a piece of raw
steak, using pliers to grip the blade
at one end. The blade kept folding up.

I have a hard time imagining Irv able
to saw away at his own neck with one of
these long enough to reach the Carotid.
Second, once Irv’s neck was cut deep
enough to result in brain death, he
would lose consciousness immediately,
making a leap over the rails not only
highly unlikely but unnecessary. Rubin,
with his long record of suspected
terror activity, had become a major
embarrassment for Israel’s “We’re
always the victims” public posture. He
was due in court the morning of the
“suicide”.

I wonder if he was planning
to make a deal, a few inside secrets
for leniency?

Reader John Boyle sends me his own comment on the news:

I thought Irv Rubin was
brain-dead a long time ago. It is very
bad, though, that he was not able to
tell what he knew. I do not gloat on
his death . . . we are both Christian
and I will pray for his soul.

That has been my muted response too. I have felt for some time that Rubin was deranged, clinically speaking, a paranoid schizophrenic, and could not be judged by the laws designed for sane humanity. I wrote this as soon as he was arrested
[Radical’s
Diary]; he was the victim of his own brain impulses rather than any inherent criminality. But the US criminal system is not very Christian, and is unlikely to have shown him the same degree of compassion in his forthcoming trial.

The above presupposes of course that the whole suicide episode is not a clever plot hatched by his lawyers to spring him from the jail hospital, to get him a release on compassionate grounds, whereupon the “brain dead” Rubin will make a trip to Lourdes, or wherever his kind go for their purposes, and Mankind will see the fastest medical miracle since Jesus
Christ’s interlocutor picked up his bed and walked.

“He seems to have enjoyed a life
