Atlanta has become the latest casualty of the Great National Hysteria. The city scum had already laid waste several blocks of the once-venerable town; but during the weekend another gentle giant got himself shot by police and Atlanta exploded.
What precipitated the local jackasses to rage in the streets all started when the proprietor of a Wendy's restaurant called the police when some drunken sot passed out in the drive-thru lane and blocked traffic. Said sot was named Rayshard Brooks, who---like George Floyd--- was a lifelong thug with multiple convictions for thefts, obstruction of justice, and domestic violence. And those were only the felonies; misdemeanors far too numerous to count.
This sterling member of society was revived by the police, who were about to arrest him for Driving Under the Influence when he suddenly snapped and seized an officer's taser-gun. Brooks turned the weapon on the policemen, who shot him in self-defense. Brooks died of his wounds. Also, like George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks' death was not any especially great loss to the world.
Now, astute readers will recall that up to this incident, the Whacko Left lobbied strongly to prevent police from carrying tasers. Tasers were portrayed as potentially lethal weapons and an unacceptable use of force. But that was last week. This week, tasers are not in the least bit dangerous; therefore use of a firearm against one is unjustified. The policeman who shot Brooks---as well as the Atlanta Police Chief---were immediately purged. An angry mob converged on the Wendy's outlet which reported Brooks and burned it down.
Naturally, not a single minute of rational thought has gone into the anti-Police reaction; just like none of the supporters of Black Lives Matter or the apologists for 'White Guilt' or 'Institutional Racism' have thought about any of what they purport to believe in. There is no such thing as White Guilt or Institutional Racism, but today's Ameroboob will believe absolutely anything and react accordingly. Who cares about Wendy's? They're a nonessential business anyhow.
This is where we've come to as a nation and a culture. Getting down on one's knees, accepting the 'nonessential' label, walking around in masks, watching what one says, and---above all---finding a way to cash in on the new trends while stabbing your neighbor in the back: welcome to the New Normal. Whatever we had as a people to try and Make America Great Again in 2016 ---we'd better reach down deep and find it again or the next thing we'll be reaching for is the sky when we surrender our freedoms completely.
People are supporting BLM out of fear of being called racist.
ReplyDeleteThere are many smart blacks out there. I'm just waiting for one to point out that popularity via fear is not popular at all.
I hope for the sake of American blacks this ends on a positive tone.
Your pessimism is valid, NW - and I completely concur. This is a dark time for America, to be sure - and right now I don't see how it will turn out well - at least, not in the short run! And my anger is growing every day - and it's directed at both the anarchist antifa scum and the hateful BLM racists!
ReplyDeleteThis latest shooting shows that tasers are a lethal weapon and should be banned from government use. If a citizen holding a taser is a lethal threat to a government employee, then a government employee holding a taser is a lethal threat to a citizen. Increasing badge thugs use tasers as torture devices to carry out "pain compliance". Take the tasers, give them back their nightsticks and train them how to use them.
ReplyDeleteFrom 2013 through 2019, tasers caused about 33 deaths per year with the exceptions of 55 deaths in 2015 and 25 deaths in 2019. Beatings by police kill right about 10 people a year, with a high of 15 in 2013 and lows of 9 in 2014 and 2017. https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/nationaltrends
Now, before you call me a "wacko leftist", I know BLM is a terrorist group, I have no guilt about anything my ancestors did when they founded and built this nation, and there is no such thing as "systematic racism". I am an American Nationalist and cops are part of the standing army the Founders warned us about.
This is looking more and more accurate.
ReplyDeleteA 19 year old BLACK man was shot and killed in CHOP. Another black man was seriously injured.
When police went in to offer assistance they were pelted with rocks and bottles.
No major news outlets are mentioning the murdered man was black...
Gee... I wonder why not...
