(NYC) Cops make arrest in hateful ‘knockout’ spree
NY Post ^ | 1/04/13 | Natasha Velez and Kirstan Conley

It was his turn to get knocked out.

The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force busted a Brooklyn man for at least seven “knockout” assaults, cops said Friday.

Barry Baldwin, 35, punched out the victims between Nov. 9 and Christmas Eve in Canarsie and Midwood, police said.

All of the victims were white women and most were Jewish, a law-enforcement source said. At least two of the attacks occurred on the Sabbath.

I’m laughing. Thanks, I needed it! (And I always capitalize “Mods.” I’m an Upper-Casist.)

The anonymity of the internet shouldn’t be an excuse to be offensive. The liberals and media are doing everything they can to paint conservatives as racists. Don’t give them any ammo. I want FreeRepublic to represent conservatism at its best.

No. If we allow them to decide what is “offensive,” we give up control of the language, and then we lose no matter what we do. I am tired of making nice and losing. Maybe I’m just getting old or something, but the older I get the more I believe George Orwell was on to something.

It means something bad according to the leftists, and we should not say it so the leftists will hate us less, maybe even come to love us so much they give up trying to demonize us. At least, that’s the reasoning I see going on in posts 14 and 42.

I believe I’m fairly mild in my comments, been here a little over 10 years and never been suspended. I’ve had several comments removed by mods and once on the religion forum had a comment deleted by the mod and a warning not to use that language on the religion forum. My offensive comment? I used the term, “My B.S. meter”, in a sentence, using the abbreviation, not the words.

I’ve since seen worse than that on the religion forum.

Stay warm.

Liberals hate us and we hate them. But we will not win the hearts and minds of the people if we stoop to levels of behavior which is more consistent with the left. We are better than that. We must police ourselves.

The word means different things to different people. Conservatives should be able to find better ways to express themselves forcefully than using the N word.

I’m not talking about “stooping to their level.” I’m talking about not letting them control the language. I don’t personally use the word in question, both on and off the forum. I discourage the use of it by others, because I know it’s a hurtful thing that diminishes all involved. But, when describing bad behavior, sometimes bad-intention words must be used because it’s part of the behavior, which was what the poster did whom you called out.

You stay warm as well, old FRiend. I must admit it’s a lot easier for me, though. It’s 65 outside, and that’s cool compared to last week....

I stay away from the “Religion” forum because of the hair triggers, but it’s tough to do because I can’t filter it out from my “latest posts” page. Threads with titles like “Hey, look at this!” that lead to long ecclesiastical discussions between Catholics and Protestants, or Mormons and everybody else, tick me off.

So if you use the word you are hurting the ones who actually use it all the time.

I get it but, I get tired of hand all the hand wringing to appease ignorant bigots and Race Pimp leftist agenda driven double standards.

I’m understanding of the offense but not very sympathetic to the offended because they do not practice what they teach.

My use of the word was not derogatory in nature. Rather an example of the hypocrisy
of the current administration. A prime example would be Dingy Harry saying "negro talk"
during a senate debate. Another
Quote: "..there are white niggers, I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time.."

I will not abuse the word but I do at times push the limits of very dark humor
to achieve the point I'm trying to exhibit.

I would never do that. Before you know it, it’s going to be July. No. No lording of temperatures here. You are all my friends...besides, I’m from MI. I know how it is, I hated it.
