A semi-retired professor carried out a cowardly attack at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas Wednesday‚ killing three and critically injuring a fourth victim. Campus police acted swiftly‚ bringing his rampage to an end and ensuring the professor's retirement was permanent. Had it not been for the swift and unflinching intervention by police‚ it appears a great deal more blood would have been spilled. New details have emerged about the attack‚ revealing the gunman had a lengthy kill list and 150 rounds of ammunition to see it through. Police confirmed Thursday that the shooter was the 67-year-old academic who Blaze News previously indicated worked as an associate professor at East Carolina University in North Carolina from 2001 until 2017. Although the shooter received a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Georgia‚ he primarily taught business classes. The Associated Press reported that the shooter recently had an adjunct faculty contract at Roseman University of Health Sciences in Henderson‚ teaching two courses in the school's now-defunct MBA program from October 2018 until June 2022. The shooter‚ who cited George Soros and Karl Popper as among the "Great Minds of the Twentieth Century" on his personal website‚ reportedly applied for a professorship at UNLV but was unsuccessful. Officials indicated he had also been rejected from various other colleges and universities. The shooter had a previous criminal history in Virginia for computer trespass In 1992. According to Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill‚ the shooter arrived at the campus Wednesday in a 2007 Lexus just before 11:30 a.m. and parked in a lot south of the business school. The shooter exited his car‚ armed with a 9mm Taurus handgun and carrying a total of eleven loaded magazines‚ nine of which were later found on his corpse. Three minutes later‚ he entered Beam Hall‚ where the Lee Business School operates. While it was initially reported that he began his rampage on the fourth floor of the building‚ police indicated it started on the fifth floor‚ where a 38-year-old visiting professor was shot and left with life-threatening injuries. The visiting professor managed to make it downstairs and was rushed by police to a community ambulance‚ which then took him to Sunrise Hospital‚ where he remains in critical condition. The bodies of two victims were discovered on the third floor‚ and a third victim was found on the fourth floor. The Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner released the names of two of the victims: professor Cha Jan Chang‚ 64‚ of Henderson‚ and assistant professor Patricia Navarro Velez‚ 39‚ of Las Vegas. The third victim has been identified‚ but officials are waiting to disclose the name until they've notified the victim's next of kin. Chang taught management information systems at the UNLV Lee Business school for over 20 years. Velez began working at the university five years ago and primarily taught accounting information systems. She was also conducting research on cybersecurity disclosures and data analytics. — (@) Police received the first report of an active shooter around 11:45 a.m.. It appears there was no hesitation on the part of metropolitan and campus police to take quick and definitive action. UNLV Police Chief Adam Garcia indicated that the first campus police officer arrived within 78 seconds of the initial report. Officers ultimately intercepted the gunman at 11:55 a.m. as he was exiting Beam Hall. According to officials‚ he "shot at the officers causing the UNLV officers to return fire." The campus police officers neutralized the threat‚ landing multiple shots. Detectives found a list of possible targeted individuals on the shooter's body‚ which did not include those he had shot. "None of the individuals on the target list became a victim‚" said McMahill. Sheriff McMahill noted that the apparent kill list named faculty members from UNLV as well as East Carolina University in North Carolina where the shooter previously taught. Law enforcement officials have contacted all of the potential targets with the exception of one person who was on an international flight. Upon examining the footage from the dashcam in the shooter's Lexus‚ detectives were also able to determine that the disgruntled professor had "dropped off 22 pieces of mail to various university personnel" across the United States with no return address. Some of the letters reportedly contained an unknown white powder‚ which was later deemed harmless. While police are still looking into possible motives‚ McMahill indicated that investigators found an eviction notice taped to the shooter's front door and a document "similar to a last will and testament" clearly demarcated inside the Henderson residence.

Elon Musk fanned the flames of his ongoing feud with Disney CEO Bob Iger on Thursday‚ sharing a series of posts on his social media platform‚ X‚ that accused Iger of supporting child exploitation.During an interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin at the DealBook Summit in New York City last week‚ Musk slammed some companies for boycotting X and attempting to blackmail the platform and advertisers.“Don’t advertise‚” Musk bluntly stated. “If somebody’s gonna try to blackmail me with advertising‚ blackmail me with money? Go f*** yourself! Go. F***. Yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is.”“Hey Bob‚ if you’re in the audience … that’s how I feel‚” Musk added. Disney‚ along with a number of other companies‚ including IBM‚ NBCUniversal‚ and Comcast‚ halted advertising on X.“What I care about is the reality of goodness‚ not the perception of it. And what I see all over the place is people who care about looking good while doing evil‚” Musk continued. “F*** them.” Iger spoke earlier at the same event and noted that his relationship with X was no longer “positive.”On Thursday‚ Musk continued to go after Iger and called for Disney to fire its CEO.Musk shared a meme on X making fun of Iger.“Bob Iger‚” the meme read‚ featuring a photo of comedic actors Laurel and Hardy laughing. “That’s the joke.” Musk added to the post‚ stating that the Disney CEO “drops more bombs than a B-52.” Drops more bombs than a B-52 — (@) “Bob Eiger thinks it’s cool to advertise next to child exploitation material. Real stand up guy‚” the Tesla CEO wrote in another post on X‚ misspelling Iger’s name. The post referred to a recent lawsuit filed against Meta by the New Mexico attorney general’s office‚ accusing Facebook and Instagram of exposing children to sexual content.“Meta has allowed Facebook and Instagram to become a marketplace for predators in search of children upon whom to prey‚” the lawsuit stated. New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez said‚ “Mr. Zuckerberg and other Meta executives are aware of the serious harm their products can pose to young users‚ and yet they have failed to make sufficient changes to their platforms that would prevent the sexual exploitation of children.”Musk questioned why Iger and his company have not boycotted Meta platforms over the allegations.“Why no advertiser boycott‚ Bob Eiger? You are endorsing this material!” he wrote on X.Musk noted that it is “crazy that Disney has to be sued to stop this terrible behavior.”“He should be fire immediately‚” Musk insisted. “Walt Disney is turning in his grave over what Bob has done to his company.”Disney did not respond to a request for comment from the New York Post.Like Blaze News?

This week on her very popular podcast‚ Candace Owens took a moment to celebrate that Victoria’s Secret is “bringing sexy back.” The body-positive marketing gimmick is running out of steam‚ and Victoria’s Secret‚ having invested in the woke aesthetic‚ is running out of money. So the company is “returning to the hot girls‚” whose aspirational figures “make you want to buy what they’re selling.” Owens approves of this. She’s “glad they learned their lesson” and looks forward to “watching the hot girls replace the unattractive girls” in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and catalogs. Sure‚ sex sells. And so sex has been completely commodified‚ the human body twisted and abused in service of psychological manipulation. It’s important to steel-man the argument beyond the catty rhetorical flair: Beauty and excellence are obvious goods. Foregrounding beauty matters; to foreground ugliness under the pretense that objective beauty isn’t real is an affront to good taste‚ to say nothing of reality itself. The worldwide ugliness campaign is real‚ too‚ and it is evil in its aims to degrade humanity’s spirit by depriving people of beauty‚ a process that blunts one’s connection to deeper moral and metaphysical truths‚ at least according to Roger Scruton. Popular conservatism tends to regard wokeness as a beast that emerged ex nihilo from the supposedly flawless cultural moment that was the 1990s and early 2000s. In reality‚ wokeness is the aesthetic and ideological progeny of a certain brand of atheistic nihilism‚ expressed by the Dadaists in World War I-era Germany‚ intellectualized by the sexologists of Weimar Berlin‚ and carried forth by the Bauhaus architects‚ who built the world we know now‚ which is informed by their ideological and aesthetic ilk. A short memory makes it difficult to conceive that the cultural moments conservatives now find themselves defending are fruits of the same debased tree of which their enemies eat freely. Victoria’s Secret isn’t in the business of beauty qua beauty. Consider instead that Victoria’s Secret has played a world-historical role in delivering the philosophy of the sexual revolution to the girl next door. Hot girls were just a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. The inferences the audience is meant to draw from these images aren’t godly‚ to put it lightly. Owens‚ an extremely effective spokesperson for modern conservative thought‚ missed the forest for the trees. How could a conservative movement‚ if we are to believe that word has any meaning‚ defend a raunchy brand that publicly displays women in the near-nude? One that injected pornographic motifs into the public consciousness through unscrupulously manipulative marketing? Any moral good that the elevation of beauty presents is undone by lasciviousness. Sure‚ sex sells. And so sex has been completely commodified‚ the human body twisted and abused in service of psychological manipulation‚ glittering images of moral depravity projected into the public square‚ fully visible to children. Some of us still find that tragic.
