"White supremacy is ingrained everywhere," Moriarty said. "White supremacy is what we all live in. It's the water."

************************************************************
During a May 28 event, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty explained she believes there’s an effort to cause the public to fear crime.
“Moderate Democrats have done a lot of work in making people afraid of downtown Minneapolis,” she said. “There is a concerted effort to make people afraid of crime.”
The conversation took place between Moriarty and Dr. T. Anansi Wilson, a Mitchell Hamline School of Law professor. The discussion centered around being “good trouble” and activism.
“White supremacy is ingrained everywhere,” Moriarty said. “White supremacy is what we all live in. It’s the water. It’s what we swim in here.”
Wilson agreed and took it a step further, explaining his belief that white supremacy is embedded in all public policy, including the Constitution. “We have to think about the Constitution as the living will of the white supremacist, slave-owning, genocidal, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, cis-heterosexist, capitalistic, classics [sic] maniacs, right,” Wilson said.
Moriarty, a white, lesbian woman, was elected to serve as Hennepin County attorney in 2022. Her campaign included progressive approaches to criminal justice such as “restorative justice programs” and “alternatives to incarceration.”
“Crime is down,” Moriarty said repeatedly throughout the conversation.
She also discussed her advice for current law students, which was to ask more questions. “You talk about the rule of law, it’s like, what is that? I mean, I kind of wonder how anybody talks about the rule of law now. Wasn’t Roe v. Wade rule of law? I mean, what happened to that?” Moriarty said.
“Yes, you can,” Moriarty replied when asked if the public can expect her to seek reelection. She explained that her office has been involved in a lot of good work, including expungement clinics and reevaluating sentences of individuals who are incarcerated.
“There’s so many people we haven’t charged on aiding and abetting,” Moriarty said when discussing how proud she is of the work she’s been doing as Hennepin County attorney. “The office used to charge people who were there with aiding and abetting, and we don’t do that anymore.”
She also pushed back on the notion that she harbors an anti-police bias. “I have nothing against law enforcement, I want everybody to be held accountable. That doesn’t mean punished, by the way, but accountability is important. Sometimes that’s restorative practices, most of the time it should be restorative practices.”
However, police demonstrate “fragility to any kind of feedback or criticism,” Moriarty claimed.
Days after the interview, Moriarty’s office dropped charges against a state trooper for a fatal use of force incident last year, citing her office’s inability to “prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime occurred.”
She looks like a lesbian UU church preacher.
Just like inflation, they are under-reporting crime and dismissing those who can feel it is rising.
I’m not so much afraid of the crime as I am the state backing the CRIMINAL should I take substantive actions to defend myself against an emboldened criminal.
Yup, he does.
What an idiot.
Fearing crime is not brainwashing nor white supremacy.
It’s a normal reaction to a threat against one’s body or property.
I’ll bet she lives in her gated community and has private security. Give it up, lady and go live like the rest of us and then preach about not fearing crime.
There are idiotic statements and then there is this. On a scale of idiotic statements with 0 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, Moriarty’s statement is about a 25.
Also, if accountability doesn’t mean punishment then I assume it means rewarded.
“Wasn’t Roe v. Wade rule of law?”
Actually, it was never a law.
What does Sherlock say about Moriarity?
She needs to read the US Constitution, including the 13th Amendment:
"Section 1
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
Where do we find these freakish beasts, anyway? George Soros got some kind of academy for deviants to put into power?
Birds of a feather flock together....................
Critical Race Theory always boils down to “shut up and take your beating, bigot, it’s social justice.”
She should try livin’ in da ‘hood..............She wouldn’t last 48 hours............
“The White liberal is the worst enemy to America and the worst enemy to the Black man.” - Malcolm X.................
sez the pro-criminal da
no mention of crime victims
She looks like a lesbian UU church preacher.
Redundant. ;)
“White supremacy is what we all live in. It’s the water. It’s what we swim in here”
True.
She uses electricity, vehicles, appliances—all invented by the white man.
If she does not like it she should live in a tent in the woods with an out-house.
She should be treated as an accessory to every crime by victims or their families. Then she/they/it would be afraid of crime too.
