The Real Victim
Canada Free Press ^ | 9 Sep, 2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 09/10/2017 9:44:46 PM PDT by MtnClimber

Kenny Herring was very angry over a neighbor’s barbecue fire. It was early in the morning in St. Louis. Kristy Lynn Thompson, Kenny’s wife, handed him a large butcher knife.

And then Kenny tried to make mincemeat out of his neighbor.

When the cops came, the neighbor had stab wounds on his face and torso, and defensive wounds on his arms.

Kenny Herring was African-American and he identified as “Kiki”, a woman Kenny’s butcher knife pierced his left lung.

But Kenny still wasn’t done. He waved the knife around and stabbed an officer in the arm. And was shot and killed. Thompson was arrested and charged with assault and criminal action.

It’s not an unusual story. This is what police officers do a lot of the time when they make “housecalls” in St. Louis, Baltimore, Oakland and Detroit. It wasn’t the first time the cops had been forced to respond to “domestic disturbances” at Kenny’s place. But now it would be the last.

What happened on Ridge Avenue was bad. But it could have been much worse for the victims of Kenny’s violent rampage.

The victim has a collapsed lung. He will spend time in rehab and will probably never be the same again. The police officers who shot Kenny will need counseling. All of them will relive that horrible morning in their nightmares.

But wait. The story isn’t over.

Kenny Herring was African-American and he identified as “Kiki”, a woman. And by the left’s current rules that means that no matter whom he stabbed, the police officers had no right to shoot him.

“If you’re a cop & you can’t defend yourself against someone with a knife WITHOUT killing them. Don’t be a cop,” one activist insisted in a widely circulated tweet.

Pure gold from Daniel Greenfield.

He nails it. Defining people by group membership is the definition of bigotry.

It seems we are being intentionally integrated with refugees with a high percentage of islamic savages.

“Kenny Herring was African-American and he identified as “Kiki”, a woman Kenny’s butcher knife pierced his left lung. “

Is anyone else having trouble understanding what this sentence trying to communicate?

It would be difficult to cut and paste anything from that site with the adverts all over the page.


Metro Trans Umbrella Group blamed “systematic racism and white supremacy.” Neither the police officers nor the victim have been named, but considering the neighborhood, the odds are good that Kenny’s victim was also African-American. Some activists suggested that the police might have “planted” a knife on Kenny. But did they also plant the stab wounds on his victim’s face and in his lung?

“If you’re a cop & you can’t defend yourself against someone with a knife WITHOUT killing them. Don’t be a cop,” one activist insisted in a widely circulated tweet.

The “peaceful” candlelight vigil to “honor” a vicious monster didn’t take long to go off the rails. The microphone was supposed to be ”prioritized for black and brown trans and queer people of color.” The protesters seemed angrier about President Trump than Herring’s death. The police had only shot Herring because of racism and transphobia. And Trump was the embodiment of both.

In police training they have an “assailant” come at you with a rubber knife from about 20 yards away while you hold your pistol out in front of yourself. It's amazing how quickly they're upon you.

“African-American” Does that include Egyptians, Nubians, Arabs from Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya, Niger, Western Sahara, Sudan, and Afrikaners, as well as Berbers, and everyone else in Africa? Just wondering.

Its missing a period. I had to read it a couple to figure it out.

“Kenny Herring was African-American and he identified as “Kiki”, a woman. Kenny’s butcher knife pierced his left lung. “

The dems have mutilated themselves politically with their identity politics. Steve Bannon keeps tellin’ everyone that identity politics is the libdem’s weak point, but the libdems cannot do anything about it, much less abandon it. It’s now in their dna, and it’s destroying them.

There is never any excuse for shooting a member of an inter-sectional “marginalized” group.

Perhaps because he stabbed the cop in an attempt to kill the cop the cop killed the criminal.

Shame on the cop for not asking him if he was LGBT, minority or other oppressed group before killing the criminal. If the cop had done due diligence and realized whom the murderous criminal was he would have gladly offed his life up to the oppressed criminal

BAD COP! /S

Nope, the term applies only to Sub-Saharan blacks.

I know a man who is a middle school teacher. He is pale white and plump and a good history teacher. His Negro students get into the African Identity thing from time to time and one will haughtily assert he can’t understand their world because he isn’t African. He comes back with the fact that he is a lot more African than the kid is as he was born in Ethiopia which he was. He is the son of missionary parents who spent many years in Africa. The kid usually persists and Bruce asks him where he or she was born. When the answer is Florida or Georgia, Bruce says,” and you call yourself African?” That ends the conversation.

It's poor cur and paste formatting picking up a "drop quote" on the article and mixing it into the body of the article. It should have been cleaned up before posting.

MYTHBUSTERS took this on and to their surprise, the guy with the knife took out the guy with the gun about 80% of the time. . . starting from 20 feet away!

This is the first time I’ve encountered the term ‘Intersectionality’.

“Intersectionality is a term coined by American civil rights advocate Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw to describe overlapping or intersecting social identities and related systems of oppression, domination, or discrimination.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality

Translation: “What’s in YOUR wallet? Race Card, Queer Card, Democrat Voter Registration Card, Socialist Workers Party Card, EBT Card....”

Multiple “Victim Points” (brownie points)
