“Whatever one’s politics, who can disagree with that?”
This was a reference to Obama’s comment. Well, first of all, Obama, like all those skilled in conversational hypnotism, make certain undeniably factual statements as part of the process of lowering the listeners mental defenses and building agreement before jumping to the statements which the hypnotist is trying to implant as absolute fact and truth by mere suggestion without the need for logical persuasion.
I can disagree with Obama, and I do. I don’t care for people who think they are entitled to do my thinking for me. Nor do I care for manipulation and outright lies coming from him and the mainstream media.
Conservative writers should focus on the real tragedies in this story: black teens that think it is okay to steal, rob, use violence, and attack police officers. And how about the making of such teens into national hero’s and icons for more black young people to mimic? Or how about the tragedy of mob violence? Or the destructive influence of the MSM liars?
If I was a parent who lost a son or daughter this way, of course I would be heart broken. But I would have been heart broken also by their choice to commit crimes.
The time to help this teen get off of the path of self-destruction is over. Now is the time to help other teens avoid this path or get off of it before it is too late for them, also.
Police officers put their lives on the line every day. Some make mistakes. But the tragedy here can best be found by scrutinizing the behavior of the teenager who died rather than what the officer might have done differently. This teenager was headed for destruction to himself and others regardless of what the officer did. Teens need to be made aware that following his path will most likely lead to tragedy for themselves unlike the glorified images of the music videos which show the preachers of such lifestyles as rich, famous, successful and living lives of luxury.
