Outside of perhaps a drum circle or Phish concert, there are few things progressives enjoy more than dead people. Its a fetish … Its what makes some people love feet and makes Bill Clinton a chubby-chaser.
The foot-fetish people are at least consistent they are in to virtually all feet. But progressives fetishizing of dead people is very, very specific they love dead black men who were killed by white men.
Crime statistics show that if youre the victim of a crime, particularly a violent one, it is highly likely the perpetrator looks like you. To a normal person this doesnt matter, aside from giving a description of the perpetrator to the police. But progressives arent normal people.
To them, white-on-white crime is a non-event; black-on-black crime is less than a non-event and black-on-white crime is some perverted vision of justice. But black-on-white crime is an epidemic that warrants riots.
All deaths are sad to someone. Family and friends are devastated when someone passes, no matter how or at what age. But theyre generally contained to those who knew the person who passed. But when a black person is the victim and a white person is the perpetrator, progressives take to the streets.
Dont confuse the act of protest with the emotion of caring; progressives do not give a damn about Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin or anyone else theyve attempted to stir up anger over. These bodies are a prop, an opportunity to divide people to empower themselves. They thrive in unrest and chaos the way fish do in water its their natural habitat.
They couldnt all make it to Ferguson on Monday as counterintuitive as it seems, some have jobs so they took to the streets of their own towns because, well, never let a good crisis go to waste. Major cities across the country had traffic disrupted as part of a coordinated plan in the name of justice for Michael Brown.
This temper tantrum left millions of Americans wondering how delaying them from getting home from work translates into justice for anyone.
Of course, it didnt. But it wasnt supposed to. It was designed as action to further indoctrinate the mindless participants who will follow any order and end up feeling like part of a movement. Once theyre in theyre putty to be molded into whatever theyre told to be.
Luckily for us, and for them, the faceless mob has the attention span of a…
In a week or two they wont be able to tell you who Michael Brown was or even remember they spent a few days annoying their fellow Americans.
But there will be another tragedy that will draw the mob back together. Tragedies happen, and the unintelligent will do what theyre told. A black man will, again, be killed by a white man. There are too many people in this country for it not to happen again. But its not like its as regular as the tides … regardless how it is portrayed in the media.
The next progressive march will require the mob to step over the bodies of countless young black boys and girls who dont count to the mob because they dont advance the narrative that the United States is a country overrun by racists.
One such body is that of 3-year-old McKenzie Elliott from Baltimore.
On a beautiful August day, in the middle of the afternoon, McKenzie was sitting on her porch when she was hit by a stray bullet from a drive-by shooting. She died for nothing.
No one is in custody for McKenzies murder, no one has come forward with evidence or named names. Her murder remains unsolved, and no one outside of her family seems to care.
Meanwhile, rabid progressive groups from Baltimore have traveled to Ferguson to protest in the name of Michael Brown.
There are no protest marches for McKenzie, no media attention, nothing. McKenzie was murdered by someone with her same skin tone so shes not newsworthy. To progressives, a 3-year-old does not matter.
She never robbed a liquor store or attacked a clerk or a cop. She never had a chance to do anything. Yet justice activists from Baltimore drove right past McKenzies grave to get to Missouri because what happened there could be twisted to fit their narrative.
Every major city from which community organizers and activists have pilgrimaged to Ferguson is littered with graves of the young whose only crime was to be killed by those who shared their melanin level. They have no voice, no champion because in drawing attention to them there is no money or power.
Theres nothing about those laying down in intersections or malls in the name of justice for Michael Brown that has anything to do with justice or Michael Brown. If Brown had been killed by another black man for his shoes, no one would know his name. How many young black men have been killed in Chicago, Baltimore or any other city since Michael Brown was shot? Dozens, if not hundreds.
How many McKenzie Elliotts have to die to make them matter? There arent enough, and there never will be. The national media and the progressive outrage machine has its gears oiled by faux injustice and the blood of those they willfully ignore. Meanwhile the money rolls in. Creating and chanting injustice solves no problems but it does fill coffers. And that, after all, is the real point.
Somebody needs an editor.
The hypocracy of it all.
The whole thing is really, really simple.
Many, many things happen every day in this huge country, including many crimes and killings.
To focus on one more than others, you have to believe it is significant for some reason.
When people find significance in an event, it is usually because it ties in with and supports their pre-existing worldview. This is a human response, not a liberal response. This is where the “too good to factcheck” stuff comes from. I’ve fallen victim to it myself.
White on white, black on white and black on black crimes don’t support the narrative of the progressive worldview in which oppression of people of color by pale penis people is the organizing principle.
The shooting of Michael Brown, quite regardless of the facts of the case, was a godsend to them. It allowed them to stop fabricating oppression for a while and focus on a real event, however greatly they had to distort what actually happened.
Amen......
Liberals of course find some crimes more convenient than others.
But they don’t bother about the ones that don’t fit their image of America as a racist country in need of redemption by them.
If it doesn’t allow them to reenact the steps of Christ to the cross, its not what they want to do.
They want to be martyrs. Now that gets them their Andy Warhol 15 minutes of fame.
Good report and comments here on the Chicago Cop Blog about the scum NYTs reporters:
Side Job Opportunity (UPDATE)
Quiet amusement is the feeling:
New York Times reporters Julie Bosman and Campbell Robertson published the address of Darren Wilson in the New York Times so here are their addresses.
GotNews.com strenuously objects to publishing the addresses of individuals who are being targeted with death threats.
GotNews.com published the address of Ebola patient Nina Pham so that people could avoid going to her Dallas apartment.
But it would also be wrong to publish the addresses of journalists without their consent.
Of course, they go on to publish her address prominently on their page. We don’t understand what all the hubbub is about - she and her paper support the rioters and anarchists in Ferguson. Same team and all that. Now of course, she feels threatened:
The New York Times journalist who published Darren Wilsons home address wants police protection and has been calling the police nonstop, Gotnews.com has learned.
Julie Bosman keeps calling the 020th District station complaining about people harassing and threatening her, our source told us. Shes also complaining about numerous food deliveries being sent to her residence.
Shouldn’t she be calling 9-1-1 instead of the 020 Desk? We mean, she isn’t special or anything, right? Just a reporter and all that? Police are just citizens - nothing special about a cop either. Absent an actual physical threat, 3-1-1 should be good enough, correct?
Now word comes in via e-mail that she’s looking for a “bodyguard” to save her from all those unwanted pizza and Chinese food deliveries. We would certainly hope that no one on the job would volunteer for this. The irony of this entire situation seems to escape the libs - fuck the police until you need the police.
Thinking about this, it might be a perfect opportunity to explore the ease and simplicity of getting a gun to protect yourself in Rahm’s Chicago. Then we can stop all these pesky murders once and for all committed by legal, law-abiding gun owners.
UPDATE: And the “journalist” has a police record:
The New York Times reporter who published Darren Wilsons address and has been covering Michael Brown has a shoplifting record, Gotnews.com has learned.
Julie Bosman and her co-author famously published Darren Wilsons address in the New York Times page.
The apparent conflict of interest wasnt disclosed to the New York Times, a source with knowledge in the inside of the Times has told Gotnews.com.
Why, you might ask, is a shoplifting arrest from when she was 17 relevant? Who knows....who cares? Officer Wilson’s home address wasn’t relevant either except to direct criminals to his residence. She failed to disclose a previous bias against the police and then “reported” on an event that affected the police. Sauce, goose, gander.
