Driver who had protesters jump on her car criticizes Raleigh police, protesters

RALEIGH, N.C. — The driver who was stopped and unable to get out of her car during a protest Thursday evening on the way home from a grocery run said she is certain those who threatened her do not represent the Black Lives Matter movement.

“These were violent, young, mean kids,” Deb Newton said of her ordeal, which played out on Blount Street. “I was terrified about them being on top of my car like that and as aggressive as they were.”

Newton said she got out of her car to get protesters to move, and that police officers who watched the exchange offered little help.

“The criminal justice system is here, and officers are here to make sure that people do not take the law into their own hands," Newton said. "I was forced – coming from the grocery store – to defend myself. It was insane.”

...

“These people were not peaceful," Newton said. "In my experience, they were physically violent. And I don’t know what they were about. They were not the Black Lives Matter people, because I support them.

"I am one of the lawyers who took a knee at the courthouse in solidarity after the killing of George Floyd ... but let me tell you something: When you start acting violent, there is no excuse, and I don’t agree with law enforcement officers not protecting citizens when that happens. There is a line and that crosses the line.”

She's still virtue signalling how woke she is, which tells me she's not quite ready or able to wake the f up.

Lady, situational awareness is a thing. No one at a left-wing protest cares that you’re a woke lawyer. The mob won’t part for you and it almost closed over you.

a you’re quite right, m’am, in your criticism but you’re still, apparently, a bit of a delusional asshole.

Kente McDreadlocks, third row second column is one, and then add .25 for top middle plus .25 for bottom right to arrive at a grand total of 1.5.

Anyone who expects protection from the police is not going to make it.

“ They were not the Black Lives Matter people, because I support them.”

Could someone explain the logic of this statement?

Cognitive dissonance, or perhaps shattered assumptions theory.

She holds a world view that says Black Lives Matter is benevolent.

When confronted with reality which does not fit her worldview, she denies the reality rather than change her worldview.

I suppose it doesn’t apply to this specific case but it’s the same observation.

I grew up in deep south Mississippi. I spent all of my formative years playing sports and going to public school. I spent a very large amount of time around black folks. I have a lot of experience with the black “community” you might say.

One of the most interesting things I learned years later was that the white people that always liked to be the arbiter of what is or isn’t “racist”, had absolutely no experience with black people. None!! They were all from Connecticut, New Hampshire, or some all White Enclave somewhere.

This “lawyer” just got a new degree.

A couple ladies look like they would clean up nice. But they’d still be nutty libs and no end of grief.

So she got out of the car to take a knee?

They were not the Black Lives Matter people, because I support them
What she wanted to say was :They were not the Black Lives Matter people, because...they weren't black,

But that would be racist so she couldn't say that.

Looking at the pictures: Their anger comes from looking in the mirror. They are ugly as dirt, and are mad at the world which rejects them for being ugly enough to scare a buzzard off a meat wagon.

Not a protest, it’s an assault.
