Why does the left so passionately want to venerate criminals?
American Thinker ^ | 22 Apr, 2021 | Patricia McCarthy

We are fast becoming some kind of vast sanctuary nation for lawbreakers.

If there is one thing that characterizes the left today it is their fervent need to pretend that men like George Floyd, Daunte Wright, Michael Brown, Trayvon Williams, Rayshard Brooks, Eric Garner and others are pillars of society, hapless victims of police brutality and racism. Those mentioned above all died resisting arrest. All had criminal records, some of them extensive and for violent crimes.

Not one of them complied with the police when pulled over for a traffic stop or when they were in the process of being apprehended after committing a crime. All of them attempted to resist, flee, or to harm the police who were present. In nearly all these cases, their own behavior brought about their demise, however tragic they may have been.

The verdict in the Chauvin trial was mob justice, not due process. The conviction on all three charges was media-bullied overkill, a very complex case decided by the jury in but a few hours.

Of course, more white men have been killed by police as well, for the same reasons, non-compliance or violence, but those incidents never make the media forefront.

The public is astonishingly misinformed as to the truth, thanks to the media,. Nor do the hundreds, even thousands of black-on-black murders that take place routinely in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit and other cities merit much media notice. Black Lives Matter does not lift a finger or donate a dime to fighting black-on-black homicide.

We are transitioning from a meritocracy to a thugocracy.

Exactly. Most rats 🐀 are criminals themselves, so it’s no wonder they venerate street criminals.

Odd. Looks like the stabbing attempt occurred in an upscale suburban neighborhood. Undermines the poverty induced violence narrative. It will be interesting to find out what the fight was about. Probably hair coloring or some other vital life and death issue.

One Nation Under Anarcho-Tyranny

by Michelle Malkin, American Renaissance, July 22, 2020

The America you grew up in is not the America we live in now.

One nation under God? Ha.

Land of the free? Ha.

Domestic tranquility? Ha.

Equal protection under the law? Ha.

The right to bear arms? Ha.

Freedom of speech? Association? Peaceable assembly? Ha. Ha. Ha.

It’s not “socialism” or “communism” under which we suffer. Our dangerously chaotic, selectively oppressive predicament is more accurately described as “anarcho-tyranny.” The late conservative columnist Sam Francis first coined the term in 1992 to diagnose a condition of “both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny — the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes.”

Because the left loves victims of society but hates victims of crime.

Is it time to discuss a state(s) leaving the union? I don't want to use the word secession because that raises too many hackles, so for the purposes of discussion let's call it "leaving the union" instead.

Its simple. You want to destroy your neighbor and get him/ her to move because you dont like them? Invite some vandals over every weekend and throw a party and encourage them to abuse your neighbor and thier property. Do this until your neighbor quits and moves. Now, next weekend when the vandals show up for your weekly party, shoot them and bury them on your ex neighbors property and let the cops find the bodys and charge your neighbor with the crime. . . Meanwhile you now take control of your neighbors abandoned property. You have just used the usefull idiots. And it cost you a few beers and dogs to own your neighbor. In the end the usefull idiots will get their just wages.. prison or death.

Because they want to decay American society down to the reprobate level they slither around on.

The playbook is right out of Nazi Germany. Sow discontent, immorality, chaos, racial divides.. Then, when things fall apart as planned. Step up and offer to clean things up and purify the country. When total control is achieved, destroy all those dissenting.

Because the Left need ‘victims’ like fish need water. Not individual victims, like the victim of some random criminal act. That isn’t enough to create a movement. They need entire demographics. Crimes (real or imaginary) for which the entire demographic can be made to look like victims will always be at the top of the list.

So they can enrich themselves by using criminals to do the left’s dirty work of destroying the Nation.

The Left has a well documented history of treating blacks like animals, and they set their behavioral expectations accordingly. That’s why they don’t just venerate black thugs, but they also despise intelligent, successful blacks whose life stories undermine these racist prejudices.

I think the left are physical cowards. They protest like animals only because they have no fear of death. No lethal force to control them is ever used. If a few red states seceded and put up a large army the left would not fight. In fact none of them would put their life on the line to force a red state back into the union. THEY ARE BALL-LESS LOSERS. These are not your GGF Yankees.

Because they think Les Miserables was real.
