This morning, John treats us to his “deep thoughts” — on why no one is in custody in the most recent Brown University mass shooting.
While he may be right that the FBI politico head, one Kash Patel — is a moron, and a publicity seeker, the rest of his piece is both ill-informed and chock full of sad grandstanding.
John broadly hints that he thinks the people on campus at Brown are… cowards. Of course he has zero evidence of any of this.
And in any event, I’m not sure that I’ve ever read of John Hinderaker (at nearly 70) running into a multiple shootings situation and trying to tackle an active shooter. Putz.
He further implies that somehow people on the campus at Brown were complicit in letting the shooter get away.
This may not be quite as bad as Trump’s remarks on Rob Reiner’s gruesome murder… But it is certainly a horse of a similar color.
Updated Friday 12.19.2025 @ 7 AM: Scott finally corrects John’s lies above, thus: …Listening to the Providence press conference last night — it was followed by one featuring United States Attorney Leah Foley speaking about the murder of MIT Professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro — we learned that a witness who had confronted the murderer on the Brown campus provided the key to the breaking of the case by law enforcement. His information “blew this case right open,” according to Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha at the news conference. The witness is only identified as “John” in a police affidavit. We need to hear more about that man while we mourn the dead…
Yep John Hinderaker… is a horse’s ass.
Out.
