One video is worth a thousand words:
I mean, if you're not going to celebrate a man who murdered four police officers after hauling a 12 year old girl off the street at gunpoint and raping her (reportedly along with several other girls according to law enforcement), who are you going to celebrate?
The San Francisco Chronicle had part of the story:
Dozens march for Mixon, against police Charles Burress, Chronicle Staff WriterOf course, the Chronicle and most of the rest of the media most definitely don't want to tell you the full story: for example, it's NOT the "Uhuru Movement" who marched in the street praising a cop murdering rapist career dirtbag; it's the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement. Wouldn't want anyone to in any way be able to connect this "movement" (as in 'bowel movement') to Democrats, would we?"OPD you can't hide - we charge you with genocide," chanted the demonstrators as they marched along MacArthur Boulevard, near the intersection with 74th Avenue where Mixon, 26, a fugitive parolee, gunned down two motorcycle officers who had pulled him over in a traffic stop. He killed two more officers who tried to capture him where he was hiding in his sister's apartment nearby.
The protest was organized by the Oakland branch of the Uhuru Movement, whose flyers for the march declared, "Stop Police Terror." Many marchers wore T-shirts featuring Mixon's photo, including a woman identified by march organizers as Mixon's mother. The woman declined to comment and gave her name only as Athena.
Lolo Darnell, one of Mixon's cousins at the demonstration, said, "He needs sympathy too. If he's a criminal, everybody's a criminal."
Asked about police allegations that Mixon was suspected in several rapes, including that of a 12-year-old girl, marcher Mandingo Hayes said, "He wasn't a rapist. I don't believe that."
Bystanders had mixed reactions. Nicole Brown said that she can't condone murder but that police don't respect residents of the area. Daria Belt said she had no sympathy for the protesters but sympathized for Mixon's family.
We also learn that Mixon's cousin, Dolores Darnell, 26, called Mixon "a true hero, a soldier." And DEMOCRATIC Uhuru Movement member Kihad Deen argued, "I don't condone what he did, but it's bringing to light the frustrations between the community and the police. This gives people a chance to speak their minds."
If one person - just one - in that march voted for or in any way supported John McCain, I will eat my underwear. This is a hard-core liberal movement supporting hard-core leftist causes - and the left deserves full "credit" for the DEMOCRATIC Uhuru Movement's "contributions."
The Associated Press ran a story that had the following to say:
OAKLAND, Calif.—Relatives of the man suspected of fatally shooting three Oakland police officers said Sunday the 26-year-old parolee was frustrated about not finding work and feared returning to jail...Mixon was a hero of the common man, a regular Willy Loman character come to life from the pages of Death of a Salesman. Of that story we read:Mixon's uncle, 38-year-old Curtis Mixon of Fremont, said his nephew had become depressed because he could not find work as a convicted felon. His nephew expected authorities to issue an arrest warrant for missing parole meetings, even though the he felt he was not to blame, he said.
"I think his frustration was building up, but he was trying to better himself," Curtis Mixon said.
It is said that [Arthur] Miller is criticizing America and capitalism as a promoter of socialism. It is demonstrated through Willy, the protagonist during the story, who struggles to support his family and even himself. It is the story of a man at the end of his life, who realizes he has wasted his years in pursuit of a goal that is not only unattainable, but was never real to begin with.And of course, to top Willy Loman, Mixon never had a chance - claim liberals - because he was black.
The fact that he was a 26-year old career criminal who spent six years in prison for armed robbery before spending another 9 months for parole violations before being a serial rapist and then four-time cop killer amount to insignificant details - and I of course must be a hardened racist for even bringing them up to begin with.
We find the classic liberal story line: Lovelle Mixon as victim of racist white societal oppression, finally lashing out as a hero and dying in a blaze of glory in a statement against that oppression.
This is nothing new - which is why I tie this right to the Obama camp which buys this brand of bullshit hook, line, and sinker.
Here's another murderous rat bastard openly cherished by the left - and specifically by Obama supporters:
["KRIV-TV image of Texas Obama volunteers with Che Guevara flag. (KRIV-TV Photo) "]
Che Guevera was a hard-core communist murderer of anyone with whom he disagreed - which is apparently all one needs to be iconicized as a hero by the political left these days.
Why would anyone NOT want as President of the United States of America a candidate whose campaign offices honor a man who said:
"The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind!" raved Ernesto "Che" Guevara in 1961. "Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination. We will bring the war to the imperialist enemies' very home, to his places of work and recreation. The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we'll destroy him! We must keep our hatred against them (the U.S.) alive and fan it to paroxysms!"Why not eulogize with a flag the man who wrote to his father:
I'd like to confess, papa, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing.Why not celebrate the leftist ideologue who proclaimed:
"The solutions to the world's problems lie behind the Iron Curtain," stressed Ernesto “Che" Guevara who often signed his correspondence with the moniker "Stalin II." "If the nuclear missiles had remained we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S. including New York City," he boasted. "The victory of socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims."Why honor Guevara? Because of course "the victory of socialism" IS well worth millions of victims - atomic or otherwise - to the left. Always has been. And it most certainly still is today, even as it is imposed upon America with a swiftness that even the most ardent critics of Obama are finding stunning.
If a John McCain office had been discovered to have a Yugoslavian flag emblazoned with the image of Slobodan Milošević, I have a feeling the media would have interpreted the implications of such a thing far differently than the nonchalant "ho-hum" response accorded to Obama. And of course the same "ho-hum" response was accorded to him as radical after radical was discovered in his intimate circle of support.
The honoring of figures like Lovelle Mixon by the Democratic Uhuru Movement is part of a time-honored tradition of the American left. Many of the same liberal politicians and bureaucrats in office today once publicly celebrated Che Guevara, the Black Panthers, and/or other violent leftist extremist people and groups in their own "day." By way of contrast let me assure you; Timothy McVeigh isn't getting a lot of play in Republican circles. The right doesn't play this incredibly ugly game; the left does.
We don't do this crap. Nor do we provide "useful idiot" support for movements such as communism which is responsible for more than 100 million murders in the 20th century. Instead, the very people who supported murderous people and movements decry George Bush as a war criminal for taking out an Iraqi tyrant who was responsible for more than one million lives in murderous wars that he started, and who filled mass graves with the bodies of more than 400,000 of his own people.
The American people have never faced up to the idols of the left or the implications of what it means when people with such idols assume power.
Um...I really don't think that 12 year olds can give consent. Can you say "statutory"?
This is incredible.
I'm mad at them for not talking about this. Savage was the only radio host to discuss this while Rush and Hannity was talking about AIG. In fact on Friday Savage even played the bagpipe music on his show as a tribute to the officers.
I know that Brown's a liberal. But for some reason he's admired because he's one of the old-school liberals. Other FReepers have pointed this out too. I don't know if you know who adult film legend Ron Jeremy is, but it's that same type of mutual respect despite what he's doing. ROFL
They already tried that once, didn't they? It was the Back To Africa Movement of freed slaves, before our Civil War and it culminated in the nation of Liberia.
The last I heard, the survivors were still mutilating, murdering and eating each other by the tens of thousands. Unfortunately for them, there aren't any whites or conservatives there they can blame their barbaric mayhem on.
Dare we think that perhaps - just perhaps - "Oakland" isn't just some racist AmeriKafascist anomaly? Maybe there is something else going on here...?
Actually, Liberia wasn’t bad until the radical leftists got in. That’s where the problem lies, worldwide.
Actually, an apology from you would be a mature thing to do. I won't hold my breath.
Willie Brown agreed with him that cops sometimes go too much after blacks......he was trying NOT to agree with him on the cop killer.
It’s the first time I’ve seen it. It’s a great aid to help people who are constantly being labeled “racist” because they don’t want to give some group whatever the hell they want become inured to the charge of “That’s racist!”
When I read the sentence anew given your spin, I realized you had me. And the only thing to do was hang the grammatical albatross of shame around my neck.
When one is wrong (or grammatically incorrect), one should admit it, correct it, and move on.
I suppose it has the benefit of making me more careful in the future.
I guess I never thought that Ron Jeremy was more of a dignified gentlemen because he did his nasty porn in an earlier time as opposed to now.
But I’ve watched the History channel where they’ve done segments on gangs, and seen something of what you’re saying on those programs. The vicious, hateful, drug-dealing, murderous, no-regard-for-human-life gangsters of the past in interviews now mourn that the NEW gang bangers “got no respect.”
Willie Brown wasn’t a good guy, but he still stood head and shoulders above Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Murtha, and the scumbag liberals of the day. It wasn’t that Brown was “good,” but rather that the Democratic Party and Democrats have degenerated to a truly miserable level.

Wise words.
How can any decent American citizen have any respect for a group of people who are willing to march in favor of a cop killing child rapist? - To justify his actions? To say the cops deserve what they got?
Look, I am all for freedom of expression, but this is where I draw the line. Marching in the streets in favor and in support of a cop killing racist should be condemned. These people should have been gassed.

Question: How does that apply, at all, to the grammatical error that was being discussed in the post you replied to?
And what were these wonderful citizen up to while the memorial service for the four fallen officers was being held?
Police: Retaliation was behind fatal West Oakland shooting

I'll take the collapse in favor of all the abuses to our rights and the ramapant corruption that is present.
It’s like Rome just before the barbarians.
Rome had the Vandals, the Hun, the Visigoth, etc. We’ve got the Mexican gangs, the black gangs, the Asian gangs - let’s not forget the millions of illegals - and just a lot of slimeball people.
I won’t comment positively or negatively on your sentiment, Centurion.
All I’ll say is we’d better get ready for it, because I think a complete collapse isn’t all that many years away.
We just can’t keep going like this.
I am white. My son has two very good friends who are black. These boys, young men, are hard working full time students who are dear to us as they have been a part of our lives for years.
A couple of months ago, early in the morning, a black man in a hoodie, with the hood pulled up over his head robbed a store. That was the only description given for the suspect. One of my son’s friends was driving his mother to work. It was a cold morning and he had the hood of his jacket pulled up. Not far from their house, he was pulled over. The cops had their guns drawn and asked him to exit the car. They cuffed him and did a pat down. His mother was terrified. After a few minutes, the cops realized that he wasn’t the one they were searching for, apologized to him and his mother and let them go.
When my family heard this story, we were outraged as we know that the young man is one of the good guys in this world. When we saw him afterwards we expressed our anger that this had happened to him. He, however, said that he was scared, but he knew that the cops were just doing their jobs.
Now, we laugh about it, but what a fine young man this boy is and we are so proud to have him as our son’s friend.
The police have a difficult job, and good guys like my son’s friend are victims, not of the police, but of people like this Mixon character and those who hail him as a hero.
We just can’t keep going like this.
On this we are in complete agreement.
We *all* suffer from the breakdown of social order in much of the black community.
We are victims of their much higher crime rate and are taxed to support the huge welfare, child support, law enforcement and penal system.
It makes us uncomfortable to think about the situation, much less write about it. It’s the elephant in the living room.
