SALLY MORRIS: GOOD LUCK, AKMAL!
“I wish you luck.” This was the sign-off of Grand Forks District Judge Donald Hager upon the close of proceedings in the sentencing of attempted murderer Akmal Azizov, a culture-enricher who came here from Uzbekistan when he was about five years old. He has been here since he was in the first grade.
Apparently 15 years of enriching us here in North Dakota, has been insufficient to disabuse him of the belief that all of his troubles and the “negativity” in his life were the work of a “witch” - a young woman he met at the University of North Dakota. Not one to sit by and allow his life to be destroyed by this negativity, Azizov sent for a silver knife, the only kind sufficient to the task of eliminating this witch. For weeks he stalked this young woman, following her about campus, following her to her apartment, lurking, waiting for an opportunity. He told the court that several times he planned to kill her, but lost his nerve. He finally found his nerve one night, lured his victim outside and attempted to behead her from behind. She escaped, injured, and police arrested Azizov, who admitted the whole thing. This was more than a year ago, September 18, 2018.
On November 12, Azizov appeared for sentencing. He was sentenced to six years as part of a plea bargain. It was here where Hager made a recommendation – “potential deportation” - and followed that up with the puzzling statement that if it were up to him he would not be deported. But then, of course, he isn’t the one whose car window was smashed and he wasn’t chased around and slashed by Azizov’s silver knife either. (Why wouldn’t you want this man deported? Why would you want this turned loose on the public ever again? Why wouldn't he be far better off where his behavior would be regarded as "normal"? Where family support would be acceptable?)
I don’t know the circumstances in which the victim stipulated to this plea agreement. I would not want to judge that decision, but for the rest of us, Azizov will pose a threat as soon as he is out of jail. Hager noted among other things “going for” Azizov was a supportive family. I would wonder just how positive this is. Perhaps a family which condemned this kind of thinking would be more encouraging.
Maybe in Uzbekistan this would not be out-of-the-ordinary behavior. Uzbekistan is the source of a lot of fanaticism, after all. But it really matters little whether a perpetrator of a horrific crime hails from Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan, as the lovable Tsarnaev family (which was also very supportive) or Afghanistan or any other Stan. We should not be admitting, even as visitors, people who are culturally unable to assimilate and adapt themselves to our culture and way of life. Period. They should not be studying in our colleges and universities, accepting welfare or displacing the American workforce for the benefit of gluttonous American corporations. If Azizov is any measure, he was in America since the first grade. In that time he was exposed to a shabby, flabby pro-immigrant, anti-American school system, and a “supportive” family. What could go wrong here? After all, Judge Hager commented that he “does not seem anti-social”. Well, that’s a relief! This must have been traffic court and he must have been double-parked. This couldn’t be a man who attempted to behead an innocent young woman by luring her out of her apartment, having specially ordered a silver knife and then, when it came in the mail, set about stalking her for weeks until by smashing her car window he got her to come out to be murdered.
The first obvious thing to do here is to vote to un-elect Judge Donald Hager. That’s Judge DONALD HAGER in the next election. In the meantime it might be worthwhile to ask him to resign, or seek to defrock him. It is up to us to defend ourselves and our loved ones from a would-be cold-blooded murderer who will be amongst us in less than six years now. I cannot blame his victim for her part in the acceptance of a plea bargain, because, as is obvious from the attitude of this court, the deck was stacked in Azizov’s favor. One could truthfully say that this court is complicit in the crime, not unlike the constabulary, courts, press and government are in the flourishing of the rape culture of Britain, which Mark Stein has often commented on.
We, as a society, have become so over-sensitized to foreign cultures and customs, so very, very eager to make them feel “welcome” in our neighborhoods, that we have basically checked our brains and our logic at the door. If we don’t think our way of life is worth defending, if we think it is enriching to infest our communities with people who want to kill us, and wish them luck, there is no one out there who will defend us. We are, at that point, not even worth defending. How do you feel about this? Maybe we should all be going to Uzbekistan for school. Maybe they are more advanced than we. At least that is the way we are playing it here.
I have no wish to go over and wipe out Uzbekistan. It is a good place for crazy people to stay. Is that “racist”? No. Uzbekis are white. Are there some good ones? Some sane ones? If so, let them apply to come here the long way around, as if they were Polish or Portuguese. Don’t allow Lutheran Social Services to ship them in wholesale and dump them in our communities to threaten our own people, our women, our children. Don’t re-structure our schools’ curriculum in order to accommodate their eccentricities or their hostile belief systems. I have no hostility toward Uzbekis, nor, for that matter, Pakistanis (I have some very good Pakistani friends, as a matter of fact – do you have any idea how difficult it is for a non-Muslim to come here from Pakistan?), nor Afghanis or Kyrgyzsis, nor any other national group. On the contrary, I simply feel strongly, very strongly, that we should not subjugate Americans or American culture to a foreign one. People have always been free to come here (the legal way, that is), to participate as we do in freedom and opportunity. We should not make them free, however, to substitute their culture for ours in our own country, nor to subjugate us. We should not allow this.
A good friend of mine in Detroit feels that there is no threat from Islam. He is not afraid, he says, to rent to Muslims, or interact with them. Leases and courts will protect him, he says. He believes that if he has a contract or legal written agreement that he can enforce it should the need arise, in a court of law. I will attest to this: courts reflect the government. Government is made up of elected officials. Some judges are elected, like Judge DONALD HAGER, some are appointed by other people we elect. When the numbers of unassimilated foreigners reach a certain point, they will control the elections. It’s not like the “old days” when Democrats and Republicans fought over the best way to protect America or the best way to improve our country or preserve it. No. Today it is whether we will be allowed to live in the country formerly governed by a Constitution that guarantees freedom. Or whether we descend into the kind of place where Azizov is at home stalking and attempting to behead those he thinks are responsible for “negativity” in his life. It is a very short step from a court which wishes an attempted murderer “luck”, as if he were a nephew out for a new job, to the kind of evil seen in the complicity of police and courts in the actual crime of gang rape we see in Britain today - or the cultural upheaval underway today in France.
In time the courts will reflect the population. It is inevitable. It happens all the time here. In certain districts, judges are afraid to rile up minorities so they routinely find against whites, Jews or Christians. It is a fact of life. Judges and juries are either intimidated or it just makes them feel good inside to kick a random white Christian or Jew and reward a random minority person, regardless of the facts in the case at hand. The same, I fear, will happen to my optimistic friend when the time comes. I hope not, but hope is all I can offer, not optimism.
