Horrific attacks on strangers
Who would have imagined that violent repeat offenders would continue to be violent?
An elderly woman was savagely attacked in broad daylight by a man wielding a wooden board with nails in it.
Jeanette Marken, 75, was left permanently blinded in her right eye after being hit in the face with the makeshift weapon in Seattle, allegedly at the hands of repeat offender Fale Vaigalepa Pea, 42.
Family members told KOMO that a screw sticking out of the board gouged out Marken’s eye, and after several surgeries she was told she will not recover her eyesight in the eye. …
Police said Pea was ‘notorious’ for attacking random victims on Third Avenue in Seattle.
The bodycam footage showed a paramedic question the officer after he recognized Pea, asking: ‘Who is this guy?’
‘He’s a regular. He usually punches,’ the officer responds.
‘I guess today he decided to escalate from his usual.’
According to KOMO, Pea’s string of offenses dates back to 2011, when he stabbed two people at a party.
One of the victims in that attack was stabbed eight times, yet despite a jury finding Pea guilty of the savage attack, he received a sentence of just 18-months community custody.
Pea continued racking up criminal offenses over the years, including one in 2020, four in 2023, and one in 2024.
This year, the King County jail reported that Pea has been booked into custody a staggering eight times, for offenses including assault, indecent exposure, drug offenses, and property destruction.
However, KOMO reported Seattle Municipal Court and King County Superior Court records show none of his arrests this year resulted in charges – until the alleged attack on Marken.
This story is very familiar. Our criminal justice system in blue cities seems to be broken, and innocent citizens pay the price. This is not an accident; it’s a policy decision.
And here’s another attack that, if anything, is worse:
A Georgia woman suffered severe burns to her face and body after being doused with a toxic chemical in a random attack while she was strolling through a park — and her sadistic assailant is still on the loose.
Ashley Wasielewski, 46, was walking laps around Forsyth Park in Savannah Wednesday night after attending a Christmas program at a nearby church when a stranger approached her from behind and poured the corrosive liquid over her head, according to her devastated friends and family.
The perp is still at large. There’s a blurry photo of a suspect at the link; I can’t tell much from it. But my guess is that it’s another serial offender. These attacks, as far as I can tell, are often on white women or Asian women – at least, the ones that are reported.
Just horrific.
I propose a simple remedy to the lack of attention paid to repeat, violent offenders by “woke” prosecutors and judges. Every time an innocent civilian is victimized by one of these recidivists, the district attorney (the elected one, not just one of the assistant minions) who failed to prosecute and/or thejudge who allowed the offender to be out on the street instead of in jail should be made to suffer the same fate as the victim. So, lose an eye when one of these dirtbags decides to hit you on the head with a 2×4 impregnated with a nail? DA and judge take one in the noggin, just the same. Raped? Need I say what the proper remedy consists of? And all the better if it is a male DA or judge. Biblical “eye for eye,” n’est ce pas? I think it would eliminate these offenses rather quickly.
I read that the attack in Seattle has not been reported in MSM. Since I don’t watch MSM, I can’t verify if it is true that the MSM hasn’t reported on it. Would not be a bit surprised.
I am seeing more comments on Instapundit about Vigilantism. I hope it doesn’t come to that. The veneer of Civilization in the US is already becoming very thin.
This is what we get from closing the doors of the looney bins.
It’s true that these attacks are often on white or Asian women.
@steve walsh: very possibly true.
Sane people do not behave this way, that is, randomly and violently attacking innocent strangers.
The park where this attack took place is a prime Savannah tourist destination.
If this acid attack gains national attention, it certainly isn’t going to do Savannah tourism any good.
Unfortunately, from what I have read, such acid attacks–formerly just a feature of the Muslim world–are now so common in Britain (remember, diversity is our strength) that there are reportedly public service announcements telling ordinary citizens who come upon the victim of an acid attack how to dilute the acid, and such acid dilution kits are reportedly now standard issue to police in Great Britain.
And, now, we have this type of attack turning up here.
From a couple of the pre attack pictures of the acid attack victim I’ve seen, she had been a beautiful woman.
Unfortunately, based of the few pictures I have seen of the results of such attacks, a severe attack basically melts the victim’s face, and there isn’t much you can really do with skin grafts to restore a victim’s face to something resembling normal; horrific maiming is the whole point of this type of attack.
Will this become a new method of attack here ? I sure hope not.
Perhaps a few years ago, there were a number of reports that acid attacks were happening in London. I’ve noticed no reports since. No idea if its was transitory or if the media is simply no longer reporting them.
“Our criminal justice system in blue cities seems to be broken, and innocent citizens pay the price. This is not an accident; it’s a policy decision.”
They are facilitating these crimes and that makes them fully complicit in them.
Consequence MUST be personal.
P.S. According to the linked report, when asked by a citizen what, beside the usual formulaic statements, he was actually doing about this attack, and his reaction to it, Van Johnson, the Black Mayor of Savannah, was quoted as telling this questioner that “maybe you should take a nap.”*
From the pictures which have been released it appears that the attacker is black, while his victim is white.
You can bet that, if the races were reversed, this would be an attack covered by the MSM 24/7 and for weeks, a milestone event which would be mined–for years– by TV pudits for all the things it might teach us about the dark soul of America.

A “burden”? Of the female sex, feminine gender, and light-colored skin. Maybe green (e.g. envy), and a queer sexual orientation, too.
Diversity (i.e. color judgment, class bigotry) has been and likely is a probable motive for the assault and wielding a liberal license to entertain abortive ideation is his Choice.
A back… black hole.. whore h/t NAACP at the intersection of racism and sexism is a progressive condition leaning into forward-looking victims.
Pea is apparently trans.

What is it with trans these days?
huxley:
What is wrong with the trans these days?
One word: certifiable.
Denial of physical reality takes its toll.
What is wrong with the enabling public “servants?” Malice? Indifference? Stupidity? Evil?
I think it is noteworthy that most, if not all, of these blue cesspool cities are very vigilant about preventing their citizens from obtaining and carrying any means of defending themselves. They (cities) take great strides in protecting these violent predators, it’s like they were some kind of endangered species.
om:
There have been trans people going back to the 50s and much earlier. I don’t recall noticing a theme of trans violence until recently.
IMO the left has weaponized another minority.
“IMO the left has weaponized another minority.”
Not sure if that’s the whole story wrt trans violence huxley but a good observation.
Another Mike:
“They (cities) take great strides in protecting these violent predators, it’s like they were some kind of endangered species.”
Oh the irony, eh?
Like a news alert: “Endangered species is dangerous and on the lose, as usual. Probably armed. Just look the other way.”
Huxley, “the left has weaponized another minority.”
What a way to speak the truth!
I do agree. And sadly.
FOAF — yes, may be more, too. The mental illness itself is tearing to a human’s impulse control.
I also wonder if there were drugs involved.
Back then it was recognized as a mental disorder.
In this generation the celebration of illness doesn’t end well. Now our betters say lets do all we can to accelerate it’s progression. For them the arc of history bends towards chaos and destruction. Did The Gods of Copybook Headings anticipate this?
This is what we get from closing the doors of the looney bins.
More like, this is what we get from not locking them up and throwing away the keys.
To hell with mental illness dodge.
Judges should have no discretion over sentencing.
My antipathy toward repeat & unrepentant offenders stems from the way back, 1978, when I first read of Lawrence Singleton and what horror he inflicted on Mary Vincent in California. After serving a reduced prison sentence, Singleton later, in 1997 in Florida, murdered Roxanne Hayes, a mother of three, and at last, thankfully, died in prison in 2001.

I wish that our oh-so-progressive legal system would acknowledge the reality that there are some amongst us who, defined by their actions, simply do not belong, and should not be allowed to wander freely, in civilized society, for the harm and terror that they inflict on the innocent. This story of the attack on the elderly woman in Seattle reminded me of that….
SHIREHOME: The failure of our justice system indeed justifies calls for “The Committee” to come back to life. Someone, somehow needs to quell this rampant injustice and if society’s paid representatives are not willing or able to do the job, then the people need to do it for them.
Or do we as a society just sit back, wring our hands, and go “Oh my, whatever shall we do?” as we’ve been doing. Literally if need be, kick them in the nuts hard (or more) is the proper response.
People in many of the neighborhoods around me don’t lock their cars, and are then astonished when someone steals whatever is in them. They apparently like to think that we live in Mayberry, but, we don’t.
Let’s face it, from what I understand—far removed from our Pioneer days–most of us here in the U.S. are very well insulated, from what has been the norm of human existence on our planet for the last hundreds of thousands of years—cold, thirst, hunger, violence, someone trying to rule over you by force, and taking what little you might have from you by guile or, more often, by superior force and violence.
In the real, normal world which prevails over most of our planet, it has always been and is very hard not to encounter and to experience–first hand–real violence, and real evil.
In contrast, in the insulated, fantasy world which our progress has provided to us, it’s not, and having no experience of real violence and evil, its easy to believe that real evil doesn’t exist, that everyone has a spark of humanity and goodness in them, that everyone can be redeemed, and that no one is really so evil and/or so violent and/or crazy that they have to be locked away to keep the rest of us relatively normal people safe in our beds at night, and safe on the street by day.
There’s no need to ask me what should be done to the attacker.
Re: Horrific attacks
When my family moved to the Bay Area in Jan. 1963 I remember a grisly story in the news about a San Francisco doctor who had tortured his young wife with acid so horrifically she died a month later. Her mother prayed for her death.
But I never heard the story again and began to wonder if I had imagined it. I couldn’t remember the doctor’s name except it seemed to begin with a K.
I would have thought such a heinous crime would be up there with Manson or the Boston Strangler or Jeffrey MacDonald, the doctor who murdered his family and blamed it on Mansonoid hippies.
Eventually I found the right Google search, “doctor murders wife san francisco 1962” and discovered that Dr. de Klapany had only served 12 years in San Quentin!
He managed to con a bunch of people into thinking he would devote his life to serving the poor as penance and was paroled to a Taiwan missionary hospital. A few years later he disappeared. He eventually surfaced in Europe as a naturalized German citizen
_____________________________
As the San Jose Mercury reporters revealed in their 2002 article, de Kaplany’s parole was a fiasco from beginning to end. The wife-killer had secured the support of several Catholic priests and one archbishop who lobbied the parole board, in secret, on the doctor’s behalf.

God bless this Catholic archbishop and these priests! The Bay Area archbishop in those days was Joseph Thomas McGucken.
Apparently de Kaplany was one of the reasons California later instituted “Life without parole” as a sentencing possibility.
Stay strapped.
Here’s another example from yesterday.* And, another.**

They never attack a young healthy man of their own ethnicity. It’s almost always women, or at least an older man who is in no shape to beat them senseless.
I honestly believe these judges and assorted go-gooders have a warm, fuzzy feeling whenever they let one of these low-life goobers loose. They do not care in the least about the ordinary people who are victimized in the streets, the parks or the retail establishments. The do-gooders purely do not care – I think they get their jollies contemplating the chaos…
SGT MOM
Concur. Do they go home giggling? Ever seen a judge questioned in public about the horror one of is recent releases imposed on the innocent?
