Did you know that Breonna Taylor’s father was a drug dealer? He’s serving life in prison because he murdered a guy over drugs. Did you know that Breonna Taylor twice posted bond for her drug dealer boyfriend Jamarcus Glover? Did you know that police surveillance shows Breonna dropping off Jamarcus at the “trap house” where he dealt drugs? Somebody ought to ask the Mostly Peaceful™ Protesters exactly how much they know about the case, because the more you actually know about Breonna, the less she looks like a candidate for sainthood, which is what the Black Lives Matter movement wants you to think of her.

Stupid people keep messing up their own lives — getting killed or committing crimes that will put them in prison — because they got involved in these Mostly Peaceful™ Protests without having any real knowledge of the cases they were protesting about.

Please explain to me how your “social justice” concerns about a shooting in Louisville, Kentucky, requires you to engage in a protest blocking the streets in Hollywood, California:

On the evening of September 24, 2020, approximately 7:00 p.m., a group of more than 300 protesters marched through Hollywood. While there were isolated reports of vandalism, the group was largely peaceful. The group eventually made its way onto Sunset Boulevard.
Shortly after 9:00 p.m., a blue pick-up truck traveling on Sunset Boulevard maneuvered through the crowd and became involved in an altercation. As the driver of the pick-up truck attempted to get away from the situation, he struck a protester standing in the street. That individual was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Moments later, a white Prius attempted to drive around that same protest and also became involved in an altercation with individuals in the crowd. A black pick-up truck leading the protests accelerated and pinned that white Prius in, forcing it to come to a stop. The driver of the Prius attempted to flee the area and reversed into a green mustang behind it. That vehicle was also participating in the protest.
Both the drivers of the pick-up truck and the green Mustang attempted to extract the driver of the Prius from his vehicle. However, that driver was able to get away from the scene.
Several blocks away, that motorist was detained by Hollywood officers. There were no injuries associated with that second incident.
All of the drivers and victims involved in both altercations have been identified by Hollywood Officers and the investigation is on-going.

That’s a press release from the Los Angeles Police Department, and isn’t it rather ironic how these anti-police protesters expect cops to arrest somebody when a protester gets run over? How is it that the same criminal justice system you accuse of “systemic racism” whenever a black suspect gets shot is suddenly OK when you need some protection?

How was “justice denied,” Madame Speaker? The city of Louisville is paying out $12 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit. But as to your question, if my daughter was associating with a criminal scumbag like Jamarcus Taylor? Well, lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

Whatever happened to common sense? Back in the day when I was running around with dopehead hoodlums, nobody would have said a word about “social justice” if I’d found myself on the wrong end of a gun. Believe it or not, cops still shoot plenty of white criminals, but you never hear about those cases because nobody riots — the media doesn’t notice and no politicians pay attention — when white people get killed.

UPDATE: Because there has been so much misinformation — and just outright ignorance — about this case, I have decided to write a long summary called “The Truth About Breonna Taylor.” This is going to take several hours, and I might not have it finished until Saturday morning, but somebody needs to tell this story right, and it might as well be me.

If readers want to help support this work, I’ll ask you to remember that The Five Most Important Words in the English Language are:

HIT THE FREAKING TIP JAR!

UPDATE II: “The Truth About Breonna Taylor, Part 1: Separating BLM’s Myth From Reality.” Apologies that this is taking longer than I’d expected. There’s an awful lot of truth to tell.
