6 Jan: FrontPage: BLM Agitator DeRay Mckesson: Don’t Blame Me
Supreme Court takes a pass on holding a violent agitator accountable.
by Matthew Vadum
While Americans were preoccupied in the fall with the presidential election, the Supreme Court quietly let Black Lives Matter agitator DeRay Mckesson, an outspoken apologist for political violence directed at police, completely off the hook for the vicious maiming of a police officer at a rowdy protest he organized.
Mckesson, of course, is on record as favoring mob violence against police officers...
Mckesson, you may recall, thrilled liberal fascists across the fruited plain when he glibly made excuses for cops being assaulted as he justified politically driven, organized unrest during an infamous April 28, 2015 interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. In the TV appearance, he shrugged at the Black Lives Matter-led looting and destruction of private businesses in his home town of Baltimore...
During a teaching gig Yale University gave him for being a famous leftist, he led a class in a discussion of “In Defense of Looting,” an essay by Willie Osterweil. Mckesson’s talk was a mixture of black liberation theology, critical race theory, banal Marxist cliches, and anarchism.
Then-President Barack Obama honored Mckesson and other Black Lives Matter leaders, meeting with them at the White House on Feb. 18, 2016, the Baltimore Sun reported. Afterwards, Obama praised Mckesson, saying he had carried out “outstanding work mobilizing in Baltimore.”...
Surprisingly, Mckesson prevailed in Mckesson v. Doe, an unsigned 7-1 opinion that was handed down Nov. 2 by the high court. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented from the ruling but did not explain why. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who had just arrived at the court days before, did not participate in the case.
The lazy justices of the Supreme Court couldn’t even be bothered to hold oral arguments in the case. They just did what Mckesson and his ACLU lawyers told them to do...
