To Keep from Getting Beaten to Death is No Excuse to SHOOT Someone

“Indisputable” video evidence shows Barry Washington “assaulted Ian Cranston without provocation, resulting in head injuries that required the police to take [him] to the hospital where a brain scan and other procedures had to be performed,” Cranston’s attorney reports. [More]

Disregard reality.

We’ve established that’s racist.

The ‘H’ Word

“It’s not a hate crime to assault somebody and in the course of it use the word ‘haole,’” court-appointed attorney Lynn Panagakos said during her opening statement. [More]

I wouldn’t count on extrapolating that to include other applications…

And speaking of Hawaii, with a new Bruen-defying “sensitive places” bill making the rounds there, I wouldn’t count on infringed recognition of the right to bear arms anytime soon…

Roach Clip

Harstfield also said the attack on his food truck was a hate crime, as he is black and gay… Tuesday, Hartsfield was charged with both arson and insurance fraud in connection to the fire that destroyed his food truck. [More]

If you can’t trust the proprietor of a vegan roach coach, who can you trust?

I’ll have the Jussie Smollett special served up with a side of irony, noting who he (allegedly) ended up ripping off on GoFundMe…

And we should preserve this before it goes away:

Speaking of ‘Systemic’…

Spivey was indicted on the charges of aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault and having weapons under disability. Cleveland police said Spivey shot and killed Delvonte King, 22, and Domonique King, 26, while they were sitting inside a car near the 16100 block of Walden Avenue. [More]

Is it fair to wonder if Spivey was outraged by George Floyd’s death because Black Lives Matter?

Bad Noose Travels Fast

Work halted at Obama Presidential Center after noose is found… They are offering a $100,000 reward to help find whoever was responsible… “There’s still racism going around, even with a union job. This job is guaranteed to the workers inside until 2025. Why risk that?” [More]

Because ultimately, union workers are just useful idiots for votes and there are more important priorities for those who placed it there…? (And that’s assuming it’s not just a pull rope?)

We know who “they” want us to believe is behind it, but consider how often that is not the case. And it’s not like there’s not a narrative to parrot.

Here’s another one that’s got my spider sense tingling:

Men storm school bus, yell hate slurs at children and perform ‘Heil Hitler salute’ in Chicago, officials say

Forgive me if awareness of a politically motivated penchant for not providing descriptions factors into my perceptions…

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Especially when descriptions are provided…

A Matter of Priorities

A gang that preys on gay men at Hell’s Kitchen nightclubs is suspected of killing at least two victims and of drugging and robbing more than a dozen other men — but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office is impeding the investigation, law enforcement sources say. [More]

I trust no one expects him to choose between which group it’s more politically advantageous for Democrats to pander to or ignore…

Laying the Foundation

Why Former Slave States Became the Foundation of American Gun Culture [More]

Because white people are racist, of course!

Who couldn’t see that coming?

And did you know that “It’s only relatively recently that Americans have come to believe that guns keep a person safe and secure”? (Forget “security of a free State”– the old slave owners were obviously talking about a collective right!)

Pencil-necked academic and critic of “meritocracy [and] the Protestant Work Ethic” Nick Buttrick said it, I believe it, and that settles it!

Master Will be Pleased!

‘Anti-racist’ professor calls Herschel Walker ‘subliterate,’ uses racial slur [More]

And if you didn’t vote for Joe Biden, you ain’t black!

I don’t suppose it occurs to “Professor” Sundiata Cha-Jua that he is essentially fulfilling the same role as “the man in the middle“…?

Democrat Judge Supports Bringing Back Slave Codes

Last Thursday, Judge Carlton Reeves of the Southern District of Mississippi charted a different course: He proposed appointing a historian to help him “identify and sift through authoritative sources on founding-era firearms restrictions” to decide the constitutionality of a federal law barring felons from possessing firearms. [More]

And not just felons!

The perception that free blacks were sympathetic to the plight of their enslaved brothers, and the dangerous example that “a Negro could be free” also caused the slave states to pass laws designed to disarm all blacks, both slave and free.

Who does the Obama appointment have in mind? Carl Bogus and Michael Bellesiles?

Figures the anti-gun fascists at Slate are all giddy over this.

Hey, at least Reeves isn’t starting the clock at the Fourteenth Amendment.

Crashing on Takeoff

Takeoff, whose real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball, and his uncle and groupmate Quavo, whose real name is Quavious Keyate Marshall, were at the bowling alley allegedly playing dice with another group when an altercation broke out and someone opened fire, hitting Takeoff… [More]

Who thinks the problem here has anything to do with “systemic racism,” “white supremacists,” or “Christian nationalism”?

Just Call Him Racist and Be Done with It

After Elon Musk acquired Twitter, there was a reported dramatic increase in usage of the N-word on the platform — the Network Contagion Research Institute said the term saw a 500% increase on the platform. [More]

A percentage without numbers is meaningless.

And look who they work hand-in-hand with. No political agenda there!

And there’s more than one way for government to get around that pesky First Amendment!

Elon Musk’s Twitter roils with hate speech as trolls test new limits [More]

“Trolls”? So, as with all hate hoaxes, it’s the accusers, not the accused?

Those against free speech are resorting to sabotage by smear.
