White Extremists

“Injustice is a small price to pay for social justice.” — Anon.

White extremists in Minneapolis attack a photojournalist for filming their peaceful protest ... see: Powerline Post. Oops, I’m sorry ... it’s the other way around.

There is something strange going on when seemingly rational people (very often females) become so out of control and hateful. Equality has been hijacked by inequality. Comity has morphed into rage. Is there a sea change taking place? And the sea creatures reduced to dispair? At some point, hopefully soon, sanity will prevail ... but at the cost of some ... possibly many ... lives being forever disrupted or destroyed.


Afterthought; The word “banshee” comes to mind.

Mass Suicide

Jonestown

At least three cities, Seattle, Minneapolis and New York City, appear to be committing suicide (citycide?) in puckish defiance of Trump and the safety of their citizens. These are Democrat-controlled cities in Democrat-controlled states whose elected officials are either too weak or too stupid to pull themselves out of the death spirals they are obviously in.

President Trump has this rather unique effect on his opponents ... pushing them to commit hari kari as proof of their hatred of him. These city mayors and state governors are not alone in their political suicide ritual ... Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and much of the Democrat national establishment are also following the polls by denying Trump any hint of victory before the November election ... all in the hope that voters will not wake up to this deception and throw their sorry asses out of office.

So far, they seem to be right. Trump looks weak by his forced inaction and is slumping in the polls ... this is because coronavirus is making a comeback, the economy is still on life-support, the iconoclasts control many of our streets, and Congress is sitting on their hands. The Orangeman seems to sense that those three cities mentioned are booby-trapped if he were to try to fix things ... so he is without a good solution until public opinion has had enough of this lefty lunacy.

Will the US electorate awakening happen before Biden sweeps up and invites Xi to occupy the White House? The answer, dear liberal readers, is within yourselves. Are you willing to believe that Trump, if given half a chance, can Make America Great Again? Are Trump’s petty annoyances tolerable for another four years? It’s either that or we surely will become another Venezuela ... or, worse yet, Jonestown.

A Cool Head

I realize it is not cool to have a cool head amongst all the boiling-hot emotion surrounding the George Floyd henious murder in Minneapolis recently. But, that’s who I am and I must live with it.

To summarize my uncool cool-headed thoughts:

- There is no question that George Floyd was murdered by Derek Chauvin in a particularly grisly and unforgivable way ... as the whole world could see from multiple bystander videos ... and that they have concluded that this murder was racially motivated.

- Because these two men knew each other for a year or more ... and because one of the other three policemen there was black ... there is reason to suspect that the motive for this murder could have been other than racial animus. We may never know this until Chauvin’s trial many months from now ... if ever.

- But the initial reaction of the Minneapolis police department and legal authorities there was suspiciously wrong-headed ... trying to minimize Chauvin’s culpability ... again fanning the flames of injustice.

- Be that as it may, the general perception that this was a racial incident has reopened this societal wound ... causing an enormous emotional outpouring determined to remedy prejudice against blacks once and for all ... particularly in law enforcement ... clearly a just cause ... which has resulted in mass demonstrations.

- Early on, these peaceful protests were hijacked by politically-motivated riots, opportunistic looting and misguided hot-headed anarchists ... which unfortunately besmirched the purpose of these demonstrations ... creating the cultural and political divide in which we now find ourselves immersed ... and motivating many solutions.

- Some of these solutions are obviously unworkable ... trying to either eliminate police departments entirely ... or severely limit their ability to enforce the laws (such as “taking a knee” in front of protesters) ... many of which, if enacted, will not produce happy results ... particularly within minority communities.

Bottom line: Societies seem to need to engage in such hot-headed group catharses periodically. I can’t find my way to participate ... for which I most likely will be burned at the stake.

The Backstory

There is always more to the story than meets the eye (or gets generally reported). And such is the case in the Minneapolis charge of murder of George Floyd by the police officer, Derek Chauvin. It seems that these two very likely knew each other quite well ... as they both worked together most Tuesday nights for 17 years at the Minneapolis Latin music club, El Nuevo Rodeo ... according to a Minneapolis city council member. Don’t believe me? See: Gossip on This. And, if you think this is not a reputable source, try this one: CBS News Story. But have these facts filtered into the media narrative you have seen till now? How can this happen? This is clearly a vital piece of the story!

Thus, this killing cannot be considered a random racial event ... yet this is exactly how it has been displayed by the people who likely expected the race riots that ensued ... and the looting and carnage. This reportage is just not sloppy and naive ... it is possibly even  criminal ... like yelling FIRE! in a crowded theater. Why didn’t Chauvin recognize his workmate and back off? What had gone on between these two that caused Chauvin to keep his knee on Floyd’s throat for three minutes after his pulse had stripped? Why didn’t the other three cops stop their alpha dog? These are all questions reporters should have already attempted to answer.

I sincerely believe that he ultimate goal of this elided news reportage was to once again try to take down the Orangeman with controversy. Yes, the real reason for Floyd’s death is likely to come out in Chauvin’s trial many months from now ... but the damage to our cities and our race relations may take a lot longer to be repaired. What enters the minds of our news media to be so irresponsible?

Scoop!

Have you seen pictures of the other three police officers involved in George Floyd’s murder in Minneapolis last week? No? Have you wondered why? Well, there must be a reason ... there always is when our ever-alert media leaves critical holes in the narrative they are pushing.

Well this AM I saw their four pictures and ... surprise! ... the instigator, Derek Chauvin, is, yes, obviously white. But the other three are Asian, black and possibly black (unclear). Their pictures are here: Mostly Cajun blog (scroll down a little bit ... I tried to transfer this image to this blog but “Mostly Cajun” forbids it ... and, surprise surprise, it is nowhere to be found under a Google Images search.)

Why has it taken so long for this critical piece of info to emerge? Did the Minneapolis authorities and the lefty media ... by holding it back ... want to fan the flames (literally) of protest? ... and somehow slime Trump once again?

It never ends ... the never-Trumpers are rabid to the point of manic self-destruction. This image WILL come out shortly ... and, kind reader, watch the dance the media will perform to try to escape responsibility. Don’t let them ...
