WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — A Warner Robins teacher is accused of threatening to behead a student after she made a comment about his Israeli flag, according to the Houston County Sheriff’s Office.
After that, several different witnesses independently said they heard Reese say, “he would kick her fg a, slit her godn throat and drag her a** outside and cut her head off.”
The same witness says Reese was later seen returning to his classroom, cursing extremely loudly. The witness says he was yelling that he “should not be spoken to like that because he is a Jew.”
He went on saying, “I will drag her a** into the parking lot, slit her f*****g throat and kill her.”
Wow, not sure to call him ultra-nationalist or religious-extremist.
Violent bigots come in ever flavor. At a certain point, it’s not worth the effort to suss out the source of their prejudices. It’s an unanswerable question that leads to the same dissapointment in simple minded zealotry no matter their specific path.
I’d rather spend time trying to understand the ones I respect instead of getting lost in the maze of a random scum.
Wow, not sure to call him ultra-nationalist or religious-extremist.
There’s a word for those two things; Zionist.
Not all zionists are religious, like at all.
It takes like 10 minutes of googling to see Zionism is an umbrella term for multiple different schools of thoughts. People are turning it into some slur when at its core it’s the belief that Jews have a right to a state. Keep in mind that Jews are both a race and a religion.
Well it’s more of a state in a specific place and that maybe everyone should go there.
Several different locations were considered at first. I think the levant was chosen because it renders the “go back where you came from” argument moot since they’d be living in the area they originated from.
Race is a construct. We are all the same species.
it’s the belief that Jews have a right to a state.
Bullcrap. Zionism originated as an antisemitic Christian idea that was specifically based on the premise that Jewish people “don’t belong” in (so-called) “western civilization” and should return “where they came from” - ie, Palestine.
Keep in mind that Jews are both a race and a religion.
White supremacist much? Do you want to tell me now that Ethiopian Jewish people and Ashkenazi are the same “race”?
Uh no, Zionism is not a Christian idea. It’s been an idea long before Christianity was even around. I’m flabbergasted that you called me a white supremacist for stating a fact. Ethiopian and Ashkenazi Jews could very well share DNA linking them back to the original Jewish diaspora.
“As the BBC reports, the study suggests that “Ethiopians mixed with Egyptian, Israeli or Syrian populations about 3,000 years ago.” Professor Chris Tyler-Smith, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, told the BBC: “By analyzing the genetics of Ethiopia and several other regions we can see that there was gene flow into Ethiopia, probably from the Levant, around 3,000 years ago, and this fits perfectly with the story of the Queen of Sheba.” Note that the study does not contradict the 2007 work by Entine or other historical evidence. The results suggest that Israelites-Jews entered the region 3,000 years ago, but they were not necessarily consolidated as a group until about 1,500 years ago. Also, note the study does not necessarily confirm the biblical story of affair between Queen Sheba of ancient Ethiopia and king Solomon of ancient Israel.”
Here’s another
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3543766/
“By principal component analysis, it was observed that the Jewish populations of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East formed a tight cluster that distinguished them from their non-Jewish neighbors (Fig. 1). Within this central cluster, each of these Jewish populations formed its own subcluster, in addition to the more remote localization of members of some Diaspora communities. The observation of a major central tight cluster was supported by statistical metrics for genetic distances (Fst, allelic sharing distances).”
With all this said, even if Ethiopian Jews and Ashkenazi Jews are not actually genetically related, they still get targeted the same whether they practice Judaism or not.
I’m flabbergasted that you called me a white supremacist for stating a fact.
Oh, look… a white supremacist is “flabbergasted” that someone pointed out their white supremacism.
Yawn.
Uh no, Zionism is not a Christian idea
Nope. Christian zionism predates Jewish zionism by about two decades. It’s such non-controversial history you’ll even find it on wikipedia, Clyde.
Ethiopian Jews and Ashkenazi Jews are not actually genetically related,
I’m genetically related to every other human being on the planet, genius - does that make me every “race” according to people like you who buy into the tenets of “race science”?
I have literally no idea how Jewish communities sharing specific DNA linking them to the levant has anything to do with white supremacy, or how that makes me a white supremacist. Zionism started after the Jewish Diaspora in 8th century BCE. Are all scientists that study genetics racist? Where are you getting this from and why are you so angry about it?
So now even Jew haters are Zionists?
Much like “nazi” you silly fucks are now trying to water down that word.
Pretending the teacher isn’t pro-Israel doesn’t make it true.
It’s always funny watching you people get mad when people call out zionism for what it is.
Oh, look… the fascists are now desperately hoping we’re going to forget what the word nazi means.
Yeah… not going to happen, fash.
Totally reasonable reaction to have…
(Please tell me I don’t need to tag this as sarcasm)
Wow, not sure to call him ultra-nationalist or religious-extremist.
Fascist. That’s the word you’re looking for.
Religious nationalist is not a synonym for fascist. We need to stop diluting the meaning of the word fascist.
What the fuck

I’d say “when pigs fly”, but cops already have helicopters in some places 🤷
Sooo…. He’s in jail, right?

This really has nothing to do with religion or politics - that’s just the trigger.
This person needs to be put into psychiatric care immediately and given the appropriate treatment as they are a danger to themselves and others. They should not be allowed to post a bond and leave custody. A medical evaluation should be performed, obviously, but this is clearly a psychiatric case.

It’s “fringe” but if this was our response to every time someone did this shit our mental healthcare facilities would be overrun like it was peak COVID. Plus, if this were some kind of treatable mental illness they’d be going absolutely nuts about curing it being some kind of liberal brainwashing. But it is an epidemic.
That would not be the case if ineffective resources dedicated to the prison system were properly redirected in an evidence-driven program designed to isolate people from larger society when they constitute a danger and effect whatever treatments are possible to fix the actual issues, not some misconstrued notion of good and evil. I believe that it is legitimate and moral for society to protect itself from people like this man. You’re just not going to fix anything by sticking him in a dark abusive hole for five years, much less letting him out on parole for a few grand.
This man’s brain is in the exact same condition that it was in when it caused him to react to a child’s statement as if he were sieging Fallujah. That same guy is still walking the streets. Having received some consequences for his action may have attenuated those signal pathways, but may have also exasperated them. He needs a combination of medication to reduce his reactivity and coping mechanisms for realizing when it’s happening. He may never be safe for society, but he’s certainly not safe because he was able to take $5k from his savings to pay bail.
I agree.
Seriously, what the flying fuck are you talking about?
People who commit acts of violence like this are quite clearly psychotic - whether it’s a mother murdering her children, a teacher threatening to murder a student, a gunman on campus, or someone who gets into fight after fight in bars. There is something broken in their brain.
Let me walk you through this, since your background in the subject is lacking. I will bet you $1000 dollars that if we were to do a neuroimaging on this man, we would see that his amygdala - the part of the brain that senses threat and engages the rest of the brain in a threat response is hypertrophied. His limbic system, which controls emotional response, is primed to react to a level of stimulation so small that probably neither you nor I would notice. His prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for pushing back on those signals through rationality and long term planning is hypotrophied. It is decoupled and unable to do its job. This is the same as we see in violent individuals throughout the prison system.
There are a number of ways this can happen. Having been abused as a child is one. Having been malnourished. Having grown up experiencing social abuse and rejection. It’s more likely than average he suffered a traumatic brain injury at some point in his history. TBIs are about ten times as common in the violent prison population as in society as a whole.
This man’s clinical condition dictated his interpretation of himself, which includes his religion. It’s the same for the gunman. It’s the same for the child abuser.
You will find the same in the brains of Hamas and IDF combatants. You will find, in a time series study, that these conditions become more extreme as a result of combat stress and ptsd. The Palestinian children who are being subjected to this massacre will display these same symptoms. The inner city kids in the US who grow up in a culture of systemic racism and violence show these same symptoms.
If you’re the kind of person who ascribes this kind of behavior to someone being an “evil” person or having an “evil” ideology, I strongly suggest you read some textbooks on neuropsychology and behavioral science.

But make sure they can still vote Republican, right?
I’m going to pretend your question was serious.
Should we allow people with diagnosed psychoses to vote? People with schizophrenia or other psychological conditions?
In the traditional good-and-evil model of the prison system as it exists in the US today, I am very much in favor of allowing prisoners to vote both while in prison and after having served their time. I believe that because I believe that the prison system is fundamentally unjust, that innocent people are jailed, that there is significant racial prejudice constantly driving the system, and that there’s no scientific evidence driven justification for what we do and how we do it. Rubin Carter should have been able to vote. Leonard Peltier should have been able to vote. Until we fix the criminal justice system, I think it’s wrong to deny prisoners the right to vote, and I think we need to make sure their votes are made without coercion and properly registered.
But should we allow someone with a clinically diagnosed psychological condition like schizophrenia to vote? They are wracked by delusions, what does their vote mean? For me, it goes down to the assumption of rational agency being part of the justification of a democratic system in the first place, versus the obvious fear of weaponized medical diagnoses being used for political purposes.
I wouldn’t blame it on Judaism (religion) but it’s pretty clearly a political thing.
It’s a pretty normal reaction for a Zionist.
It seems to me that he’s getting the perception that the status quo now normalizes with the things that Hamas has done, in light of the Palestinian protesters around the world.
I would not comment on this, however, as I am not legible enough to know whether his characteristics are of psychiatric disorders or high levels of neuroticism. I cannot fully judge this person, as I am not to claim that I was present in his environment where this happened.[Edit: (see next posts in the comments, as I have arrived at a different conclusion)]I can tell, however, he may be triggered, but he’s not the triggerman.
And yes, put that man in a ward or with a therapist.
