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.”

“Have you personally examined those records, and verified that her statements are true?

Then shaddap!”

So you say you are a bigmouth jerk....

It is the saddest thing in the world that she couldn’t see this without being humiliated.

I accompanied my chiding with a screenshot from a "Loony Tunes" cartoon to "soften the blow." You apparently have little sense of humor this morning.

So: Have you personally examined those hospital records / police reports?

Because if you haven't, then you are relying entirely on her "say-so," and have no place rebuking the other FReepers in this thread for expressing skepticism and questioning her claims.

Regards,

‘Manscaping’ might not be something you’d want to try then.
