or just an excuse for hate?
The former downtown Madison hotel employee accused of killing her co-worker in a parking ramp on W. Washington Ave. Sunday 03-22-26 blamed that co-worker for getting her fired. That, if one may speculate on a live criminal case (and what is to stop us!) appears to be the primary motivation for Diamond Wallace, who is accused of shooting to death her supervisor, Christine Jones, 61, of Cottage Grove.
After being fired in April 2025, WMTV-15 news reports that hotel workers told police that Wallace subsequently caused disturbances at the hotel several times and allegedly slashed the victim’s tires. WKOW TV-27 is reporting that Wallace had also accused Jones (a white woman) of racism (Madison’s Swiss army knife) and disparaged the victim’s support of Donald Trump. Since we’re speculating, the Trump beef strikes us as ancillary, more in the nature of “and the horse you rode in on.”
The Republican Party of Dane County is alarmed, just the same. “RPDC condemns this killing in the strongest possible terms. … Some will be tempted to turn this tragedy into a partisan argument or to deflect towards national political debates. We reject that impulse.”
“Violence of this kind does not emerge in a vacuum. It grows in a culture where dehumanization — political, personal, or otherwise — has become far too common. When disagreements turn into resentments, and resentments turn into justification for violence, we lose the very thing that makes a community a community, our shared humanity.” — Republican Party of Dane County
Shelter in place
Costs this dues-paying RINO nothing to agree. But we do wish our local Republican party had invoked the culture of dehumanization when our Republican President blamed Rob Reiner and his wife for their own murders “due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
Trump himself, of course, has been the target of two assassination attempts and multiple death threats. In February, the Eau Claire County Republican headquarters was vandalized. A hater was sentenced to prison this month after torching U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman’s Fond du Lac office. Of this weekend’s No Kings rally, psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert warns of “the search for villains who make anger feel justified.” Luigi Mangione being an example.
“Having no idea how the progressives will act out this weekend at the unpermitted No Kings protest march in Madison, we urge you to avoid downtown Madison all weekend if you can.” — Republican Party of Dane County
Voting to demand the University of Wisconsin-Madison divest from Israel (they’re in sync with Democrat(ic) front-runner Francesca Hong), one student government member emitted an antisemitic slur.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: Try parsing any sense of community and shared humanity from the President’s gloating over the death this month of former special counsel Robert Mueller: “Good, I’m glad he’s dead!” We’re guessing the troubled Diamond Wallace felt the same way about her nemesis.
