Red State: The Nevada Department of Corrections had an inmate escape from High Desert State Prison. The convicted murderer on the loose is Porfirio Duarte-Herrera, 42, who was sentenced to life without parole for a pipe-bombing in the Luxor Hotel parking lot, killing Willebaldo Dorantes Antonio in 2007.
Duarte-Herrera is described as being 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 135 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers are being vigilant and the U.S. Marshals are also involved in the search. Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Duarte-Herrera is advised to call 911, while taking precautions for personal safety, of course.
Nevada has made national headlines for almost nothing but murder in the last month. There is the still-sitting Democrat Public Administrator Robert Telles, who is charged with the politically-motivated homicide of Jeff German, a local investigative reporter. Telles was a Nevada Governor Sisolak (D) appointee to a state board. Then, an ex-deputy Attorney General was arrested for a 50-year-old cold case for the brutal slaying of a 19-year-old in Hawaii.
Now, there’s a murderer on the loose that escaped prison “over the weekend” says Sisolak. MORE
“Nevada has made national headlines for almost nothing but murder in the last month.”
Except for the occasional mob hit, crime used to be pretty rare in Las Vegas. The mob saw to that. They knew what side of their bread was buttered. If Las Vegas was seen as a crime-ridden hell hole, the mob would not have made money hand over fist the way they did — and they were much better at controlling such things than the police ever could be. The big casinos were pretty legit because the mobs knew they had a license to steal anyway — they knew they didn’t have to cheat.
That has all changed now. The mob has little control and the corporate leeches have no interest in spending money for any security except for their own. So many people want to go to Las Vegas that they could have a tourist murdered every week and the big wigs wouldn’t care — at least until the crowds started getting smaller and smaller.
I would guess that is why Atlantic City crashed and burned. It probably had high crime from the get-go so it never had a chance to build up.

…If memory serves, the FBI shot up a WHOLE bunch of people next to the Mandalay Bay hotel, killing many, as a warning to Trump supporters everywhere and as another attempt to revoke our Second Amendment rights
This bothered their tourism not at all.
…there’s a certain kind of game bird, the Woodcock I think, that hunters have said can be so dull that if they are standing on a wire in a flock and you shoot the middle one out, the others will simply shuffle over to fill the gap.
The modern American Pandemic Sheeple reminds me a lot of THAT.
Shmuck.
