Criminal Carnival in Madison, Wisconsin : The Other McCain

Posted on | July 25, 2026 | No Comments

Amy Curtis: “If you don’t know Wisconsin, let me explain that Madison is so left-wing it flies in circles.” Indeed. Kamala Harris got 75% of the vote in Dane County, which is a higher percentage than Harris got in Fulton County, Georgia. The fact that a drug-addicted career criminal fresh out of prison was wandering the streets of Madison is not surprising. What is surprising is that, when the aforesaid criminal was accused of stealing bicycles and attempting to burglarize vehicles in broad daylight, the Madison police actually tried to arrest him:

The man who was killed by police in Madison, Wisconsin, a shocking caught-on-camera shooting — sparking protests — was a violent ex-con with a lengthy record, including for assaulting cops, The Post can reveal.
Corey Durrell Ruiz, 38, was identified by local officials and his family in social media posts.
State Rep. Shelia Stubbs, a Democrat, said Ruiz “should still be alive.” Brandi Grayson, the head of the Madison-based black community advocacy group Urban Triage, decried the shooting as, “Another black man is dead on a Madison street.”
Protesters have flooded the streets of Madison, Wisconsin, where the shooting happened and local black activists have seized on the killing.
Ruiz had recently been released from prison, and had knifed a cop moments before he was fatally shot, according to authorities.
Prison records show that Ruiz was Hispanic, and not black — though court records listed him as African-American.
Online court records show at least 25 criminal cases dating back to 2007. In 2023, he was convicted of battery to a law enforcement officer and resisting a law enforcement officer. He most recently was convicted in 2025 of retail theft and resisting police.
The Wisconsin State Journal quoted friends as saying that he was homeless and had longtime problems with drug addiction.
He was released from prison in May of this year and was listed as having absconded from supervised release.

Lots to chew over in that brief excerpt, but the main thing is that Ruiz had only been out of prison for a few weeks and was in violation of his parole (which is what “absconded from supervised release” means)

Also highly relevant is that “friends” of Ruiz said “he was homeless and had longtime problems with drug addiction.” If you fell on hard times, would you become homeless? Almost certainly not, because you have friends and family who would take you in until you got back on your feet. However, if you’re a drug addict with a violent criminal history, even your own family won’t let you stay under their roof. Anyone who’s dealt with drug addicts understands this — a junkie will steal everything that’s not nailed down if he can sell it to feed his habit, which is why the junkie is not welcome even at his family members’ homes. But then the junkie gets shot by a cop, Ben Crump shows up to “demand justice,” and suddenly those very same relatives — lured by the scent of a generous wrongful death settlement from the city — turn out to praise the deceased felon they turned away when he got out of prison:

The family of the man shot and killed by Madison, Wisconsin, police during a confrontation spoke out Friday about their grief during an emotional news conference and called for justice.
Corey Ruiz’s mother, daughter, partner and siblings joined attorney Ben Crump, expressing their sadness and frustration about his death.
Elsa Ruiz briefly spoke before breaking down in tears.
“He loved his daughter. He loved his family. He did not deserve to be taken out like that,” she said, referring to death of her son, which was captured on video by bystanders.
Madison Police Chief John Patterson said officers were responding to a call Wednesday afternoon about a person allegedly checking parked vehicles when they confronted Ruiz and, police said, he fled on a bicycle. . . .
After Ruiz fell from his bicycle, Patterson said, a struggle ensued between Ruiz and four responding officers and Ruiz allegedly pulled out a knife, injuring one officer. That officer fired the shots that killed Ruiz, he said. . . .
Crump contended there was no reason for the police to chase Ruiz in the first place.
“This was a suspicion of a property crime, there was no property crime,” he said. . . .
Veronica Ruiz, Corey Ruiz’s older sister, said the public should not judge her brother by his past.
“His criminal record tells a tale of trauma, of pain, of struggle. It does not define who my brother was,” she said. . . .
Marjorie Aliomar, the mother of Corey Ruiz’s 13-year-old daughter Kah’Liyah, told reporters that she saw the video of the shooting before she was told that it was Ruiz. She noted that it took place close to their home and her daughter’s school.
“I hate that she has to walk past this every day, and … I hate that he will never see her graduate,” Aliomar said.

Yeah, but Corey wasn’t living with you, was he, ma’am? He wasn’t living with you, or his mother, or his sister. He had been on the streets ever since he got out of prison, because he was a junkie and a criminal, and you couldn’t do anything about that, could you? Now that there’s a chance at collecting some slice of a settlement payout from the city, however, you’re standing up there in front of the TV cameras telling us how much you loved him, and nobody in the media is even asking the obvious question: “If you loved him so much, why was he homeless?”

Today, the police chief had his press conference interrupted by a psychopath ranting about zionism and imperialism.

What a constant humiliation it must be, working as the police chief in a city like Madison, where the protest mobs turn out demanding “justice” when a criminal gets shot after stabbing a cop. How can you enforce the law in a community where the citizens believe it’s acceptable to stab police officers? I’m sure every officer on the force in Madison would gladly resign if they could get a job anywhere the people are sane enough to realize that nobody deserves a second chance to stab a cop.
