A progressive learns that ‘defund the police’ only works when you’re rich and safe
New York Post ^ | Sep 11, 2023 | Adam B. Coleman

The division in America doesn’t just allow for people to access luxurious material goods, but also lets them act out a life of luxurious beliefs.

Void of real problems like choosing between eating or paying the rent and having legitimate concerns over their physical safety, America’s progressive elitists prescribe unrealistic solutions to problems they are personally distant from, which they can afford to be wrong about because the ramifications of failure don’t usually occur on their side of the tracks.

Reality begins where luxury ends, however, because it’s difficult to maintain a lavish fantasy when a nonbeliever robs you of your comfort or, in the case of Minnesota Democrat-Farmer-Labor Party official Shivanthi Sathanandan, robs you of your vehicle, your liberty and your children’s innocence.

Sathanandan shared on Facebook last week her horrible and violent experience of being carjacked by four young suspects in front of her 4-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son.

“I have a broken leg, deep lacerations on my head, bruising, and cuts all over my body. And I have rage,” she wrote. “These men knew what they were doing. I have NO DOUBT they have done this before. Yet they are still on OUR STREETS. Killing mothers. Giving babies psychological trauma that a lifetime of therapy cannot ease. With no hesitation and no remorse.”....

Her brush with the harsh reality of danger pushing her to demand justice and punishment is a far cry from a few years ago, post George Floyd’s death, when she was able to publicly indulge in the lavish rhetoric of progressivism as she advocated the dismantling of the Minnesota Police Department.

“We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. Say it with me: DISMANTLE The Minneapolis Police Department. As allies, what can we do right now? LISTEN and LEARN from our Black siblings.”

Amazing how some can't see reality until it literally hits them in the face.

Anti-cop Minnesota Democratic party official left bloodied in violent carjacking -- now calls for tougher crime laws

They left her her necklace. Showed compassion, I guess. Maybe had sentimental value.

Or, more likely, they just didn't notice it.

Caption Obvious is thinking that making liberals as unsafe and fearful as the people that voted for them might prove interesting. I’ll pay to watch them cower in fear and die.

Yeah sure, I believe this. Not teary-eyed, she doesn’t look like someone who just took a punch. Didn’t even bother to wash off her face like a normal person. Goes outdoors in good light and takes a selfie. The story is complete bullshit. I don’t know what the truth is, but her story is a lie.

Looks too thin to be real blood.

Or more likely, it didn’t even happen.

But she’ll still probably vote Democrat.

Very odd blood spattering from that head wound.

I would have rubbed my face or head and smeared the blood

“what can we do right now? LISTEN and LEARN from our Black siblings.”

Ha, ha, ha.... Looks like maybe this privileged raghead DID get taught something by her black siblings. Like, she found out what happens when emboldened criminals have nothing to fear from the defunded police.

But did she “LISTEN and LEARN”? If not, let’s hope she gets some more lessons.

She thought her positions were morally superior to those who just wanted safety for their families and communities. She's hurt others with her hateful stupidity. I hope she learns something about humility and open-mindedness.

Looks like fake blood. No bruises or swelling either. Hmm.

I’ve had more blood on my face from shaving cuts.
