To say that blacks have a right to riot because they are black is the same as saying white officers have a right to kill indescriminately because they are white. It is pure hypocricy to condone the first and condemn the second.
CNN has blood on its’ hands! They ramped this incident to a riot. They have to be called out on this in the future!
Really excellent essay. I agree on all counts, you covered the complexity of the interlocking issues with total efficiency.
If he has prior felony convictions, how could he be legally carrying a weapon ?
These black people were killed by cops obeying left wing racist orders, namely for selling cigs or carrying s knife.
This is A Few Good Men, but not plaid by Marine Officers, but by liberal feminist DAs and a President who talks of truth but who cannot handle the truth.
Good vanity.
I’m guessing if we started beating the crap out of the Uptowners, they’d show us greater respect. The point being, the Uptowners express outrage against those they trust not to harm them. The same goes for those who attack Christianity — they rarely confront Islam.
My hometown paper is the Tallahassee Democrat. For years, until I started writing articles for the Homes section, I thought it was the Democratic Party’s newspaper. I assumed this from the name and the fact that there wasn’t a sliver of light between the paper’s stance and political endorsements and the Democratic Party’s stance and candidates. For many years they had a black, female managing editor. We’ll skip over their use of Blacklish in editorials and just call that cultural bias on my part.
What I found disturbing was the paper’s race baiting. Hardly a month went by without a multi-page spread on Rosewood, a Black Florida town wiped out by the KKK (which was the military arm of the Democratic Party) in the 1920’s. Almost every story had an anti-white component. I overheard or participated in workplace conversations where my liberal coworkers expressed their annoyance with the paper’s racial excesses. I dropped my subscription and many of my coworkers switched to the Wall Street Journal or other choices. The Democrat’s circulation plummeted and finally, way too late, they fired the editor. Suddenly the paper’s parent company, which had kept this racially biased and business destroying editor for years was being…racist! They didn’t fire her for driving away their readers. They fired her because she was black. Because of the community organizing and threats I thought they’d reverse themselves. But, no, the advertisers insisted.
Having annoyed their loyal base they lost them to other media. Now, they deliver thousands of papers with Thanksgiving and Christmas ads to people who do not take the paper. I called to complain as I was working in another town and the many papers in my driveway were an advertisement that I wasn’t home. I was told they couldn’t stop the deliveries as the drivers had orders to put out X papers for their advertisers and weren’t doing it based on who actually subscribed. The paper was sold multiple times after they fired that editor; each time for less money. Bias hurts.

If the thugs want to burn down their city, don’t let them out of the area. Do not rebuild. Wall it up and make them stay in there.

This rant of yours is neither news nor activism....perhaps you might move it to general chat or something.
