DALLAS SHOOTER MICAH JOHNSON: Did #BlackLivesMatter Inspire Terrorist?

Posted on | July 8, 2016 | 60 Comments

 

Hatred of police and white people inspired mass murderer Micah Johnson’s terrorist attack in Dallas that killed five police officers and wounded seven others. Dallas Police Chief David Brown said at a press conference Friday morning that, during a standoff with police, Johnson specifically mentioned the anti-police group “Black Lives Matter”:

A gunman “upset about Black Lives Matter” and “recent police shootings” who opened fire Thursday night in Dallas, killing five police officers and wounding seven others, has been identified as Micah X. Johnson, the Los Angeles Times and CBS News report.
Two civilians were also wounded in the shootings. Johnson, 25, was killed when a police robot detonated a bomb near him following a standoff that lasted several hours, Police Chief David Brown said Friday at a press conference.
“The suspect said he was upset with white people and wanted to kill white people, especially white officers,” Brown said.

Critics have accused the Black Lives Matter movement of being a hate group that exploits and incites racial animosity. Fanatical supporters of Black Lives Matter flooded Twitter with anti-police messages after Thursday’s shooting, calling for even more violence against police.

“This is the war that Black Lives Matter asked for,” David Horowitz said Thursday night after the deadly attack in Dallas, later asking: “Do you think we have a domestic terrorist threat from the left?”

The anti-police ideology of “Black Lives Matter has historical roots in the radical Left, investigative journalist Matthew Vadum reports:

The ambush-style mass shooting of cops in Dallas, Texas, last night makes it clear that it is time for the dangerous, anti-American insurgency called Black Lives Matter to be designated a terrorist organization for fomenting a war against the nation’s law enforcement officers.
The officers were killed during a demonstration in downtown Dallas against police brutality that leftists say is directed at black Americans as a matter of government policy. . . .
Of course, murdering police officers has long been encouraged by activists with the Black Lives Matter cult, with the support of the activist Left. A year ago Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who openly advocates the mass murder of whites, called for “10,000 fearless men” to “rise up and kill those who kill us.” Like many radicals, Farrakhan mischaracterizes Black Lives Matter as a rising civil rights movement.
President Barack Obama, who a decade ago promoted inter-racial warfare in Kenya, has long tried to provoke civil unrest here in the U.S. with his hateful anti-cop rhetoric and his relentless demonization of opponents. His goal is fundamental transformation of the United States. A Red diaper baby who identifies violence-espousing communist Frantz Fanon as an intellectual influence, he has also steadfastly refused to condemn the explicitly racist, violent Black Lives Matter movement. In fact Obama has lavished attention on the movement’s leaders and invited them to the White House over and over again.
Members of the Democratic National Committee expressly endorsed Black Lives Matter, throwing their lot in with black racists and radical Black Power militants. The DNC officially embraced a statement that slams the U.S. for allegedly systemic police violence against black people. A resolution passed by hundreds of delegates at the DNC meeting in Minneapolis last year accuses the nation’s police of “extrajudicial killings of unarmed African American men, women and children.”
The Left persists in these lies because, well, that’s what these people do.
According to one analysis, of all the people shot and killed in the U.S. by police so far in 2016, only 24 percent, or 122, were black. Black people are only about 13 percent of the population but they commit around half of all violent crimes. So far this year 47 percent of people shot and killed by police, or 235 individuals, were white.
Only 3 percent, or 13 people shot and killed by police year to date were black and unarmed. The percentage for whites is exactly the same. In other words, police are shooting and killing unarmed blacks and whites at the same rate, Paul Joseph Watson observes.
“There’s no racial disparity,” he says. “Do we have a problem with police brutality in America? Yes, undoubtedly. Is it almost exclusively targeted towards black people as Black Lives Matter claims? No, but the polarizing way in which Black Lives Matter made it all about race has divided the nation and made half of the country completely disinterested.” . . .

DALLAS SHOOTING: Five Reported Dead in ‘Military-Style’ Sniper Attack

Posted on | July 8, 2016 | 16 Comments

The latest this morning:

Eleven police officers were shot ambush-style, including five fatally, in Dallas Thursday night by at least two snipers, amid a protest against the recent police shootings of two black men, Alton Sterling in Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Minnesota, according to the Dallas Police.
One of the suspects had engaged in a standoff for several hours with police, but a Dallas city official announced around 3:30 a.m. that it was over. That suspect is now dead, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said.
“Our explosives took him down,” he told “Good Morning America” today.
“He was cornered in a garage and wouldn’t give up and we sent in explosives for that.”
The conditions of the six wounded officers weren’t immediately released. One civilian was also injured.
Officials said there are three suspects in custody and police are still investigating a motive for the attack.
“I can tell you they’re being pretty tight-lipped at this point,” Rawlings said of the three suspects.

There has been wild speculation about this incident — radio talk-show hosts blaming “white supremacists” — and people were shocked by video of a confrontation in which one of the snipers, wielding a rifle and apparently wearing body armor, fatally shot a police officer.

UPDATE: Dallas Police Chief David O. Brown, in a press conference this morning, said that one suspect was cornered and killed after a long negotiation. During the negotiation, Brown said, the suspect invoked “Black Lives Matters,” told police he “hated white people” and wanted to kill white people, especially white police officers.

UPDATE II: Hateful tweets from haters:

Twitter doesn’t suspend people for messages about hating cops and white people. You’ve got to offend a feminist to get suspended from Twitter.

UPDATE III: Our irresponsible President made an irresponsible Facebook statement yesterday, blaming “racial disparities” for the “lack of trust that exists between law enforcement and too many of the communities they serve.” Well, who should we blame for these “disparities”? Elected officials, perhaps? Democrats, perhaps?

REPORT: Dallas Police Officers Shot; UPDATE: Four Officers Reported Dead

Posted on | July 7, 2016 | 14 Comments

This news started breaking about a half-hour ago:

Two Dallas police officers have been shot in downtown Dallas, an officer at the scene tells NBC 5.
The extent of their injuries are not known.
The shootings took place as a rally and march in downtown was ending that showed solidarity for communities affected by officer-involved shootings this week in Louisiana and Minnesota.
Several hundred people gathered at Belo Garden Park in Dallas, and marched to the Old Red Courthouse near Main and Market streets, where the rally ended just before the shots rang out nearby at about 9 p.m. [10 p.m. ET]

UPDATE 11:20 p.m. ET: More details:

A witness told CBS11 that he heard multiple gunshots fire off and confirmed at least two police officers were shot.
“Whoever was shooting had an assault rifle — and I know guns. The shots were in rapid succession,” he said. . . .
Police searched for a suspect or suspects with rifles in a parking garage at Griffin and Lamar in downtown Dallas immediately after the shooting. . . .
A witness standing outside of Baylor Hospital in Dallas saw one of the wounded officers arrive at the ER.
“We were about two blocks away when we saw a cop car with a bullet hole in the door riding on its rims past us,” he said.

There are reports of dozens of shots fired. The protesters, apparently organized by the “Black Lives Matter” movement, scattered in panic.

UPDATE 11:30 p.m. ET: The initial report was that two officers were shot. Now at least four are reported shot, one fatally.

DART is Dallas Area Rapid Transit.

UPDATE 11:45 p.m. ET: The latest report is that a total of at least 10 officers were shot, three of whom are dead. Two snipers are reportedly responsible.

UPDATE 8:15 a.m. ET Friday: The report this morning is that 11 were shot, of whom four are dead. Three suspects are in custody, and one suspect reportedly committed suicide.

UPDATE 8:50 a.m. ET Friday: Five Reported Dead in ‘Military-Style’ Sniper Attack

Who Cares About America’s Future?

Posted on | July 7, 2016 | 9 Comments

My share of the population is exactly one, and so is yours. However, I have six children, a son-in-law, two daughters-in-law and two grandchildren, so that my personal stake in the future is rather substantial. Brian Tashman, who writes for the left-wing site run by the perversely misnamed “People for the American Way” worked himself into a fear frenzy Thursday because Pat Buchanan wrote this sentence:

“White America has begun to die.”

What a hatefully hatey thing for a hater to say!

Except of course, it’s true, as Buchanan demonstrates:

America is already evolving into another country. Though the U.S. is projected to grow by 67 million people in 35 years, this growth will be wholly among Hispanics, Asians and African-Americans. In each of the past four years, non-Hispanic white Americans have registered more deaths than births.
Between July 2014 and July 2015, the Asian-American population grew by 3.4 percent, and the Hispanic population grew 2.2 percent. The black population was up 1.3 percent. But the white population grew by only 0.1 percent.

The numbers cited by Buchanan come from that notorious hate group, the Census Bureau, and the right-wing extremists at the United Nations.

It’s 2016. Facts are hate now, and no one can even mention white people except to denounce them for being white. The decadent intellectual elite (including Brian Tashman) are mostly white, but they are also Democrats, and because most white people in America vote for Republican, the intellectual elite now use “white” as a pejorative epithet.

The long-term consequences of the elite’s decadence, however, will not affect their children and grandchildren, because most of the intellectual elite don’t even have children. Intellectual elite women have abortions, not babies, and most intellectual elite men are gay. The decadent elite who are destroying America don’t care about what happens after America is gone. This is why liberal journalism is a sort of daily suicide note for Western civilization. The elite hate America. They hate you and they hate your children, too. This is why the elite are doing everything possible to ensure that the future of America is no future at all.

(Hat-tip: Memeorandum.)

Why Won’t @ThomasArzi_ Stop?

Posted on | July 7, 2016 | 33 Comments

 

The response of Thomas Mix to my coverage Wednesday of his Florida lawsuit against Jeanette Runyon has been shocking. He has repeatedly made statements on his Twitter account that would appear to be threats to do me harm. His online conversations with “Nicole Bonnet” were sufficiently alarming that I wrote an email to Mr. Mix’s attorney Wednesday, informing him that his client’s behavior could have legal consequences. Yet this did not prevent Mr. Mix and “Nicole Bonnet” from falsely claiming that I was engaged in “stalking” and “harassment,” all because (a) I had reported on Mix’s lawsuit against Jeanette, and (b) I had then taken notice of Mix’s apparent threats toward me. This is insane.

This morning, however, Mix decided to take it up a notch — threatening to deprive me of income — which is a whole new ballgame. This raises the question, what is going on inside Thomas Mix’s mind? In August 2015, Examiner columnist Joe Newby reported on how Jeanette Runyon’s Facebook post supporting traditional marriage was deleted, and Newby’s column indicates that Jeanette believes Thomas Mix is responsible for this pattern of online harassment against her. Why?

This kind of scorched-earth mentality, pursuing obsessions with “enemies,” is arguably symptomatic of mental illness. More importantly, however, if Thomas Mix attempts to harm me by wrongful interference with my financial arrangements, he has crossed a line he should be advised not to cross, so I wrote yet another email to Mr. Mix’s attorney:

Dear Mr. Rooney:
After I sent you an email Wednesday, informing you that your client Thomas Mix had been making statements about me on Twitter that could be construed as threats, Mr. Mix not only failed to cease this pattern of menacing behavior, but has now made new threats that could possibly put him in legal jeopardy. As I explained to you in Wednesday’s email, I had ceased paying attention to the conflict involving your client and Jeanette Runyon after the controversy over the Kailyn Hunt case ended. However, when it came to my attention that Ms. Runyon was being sued by Mr. Mix over their online arguments surrounding the Hunt case, this struck me as newsworthy, per se, and relevant to recent news about online harassment.
However, it seems that Mr. Mix believes that no one should be able to report about his lawsuit against Ms. Runyon, a matter of public record which is newsworthy as a matter of public interest. Mr. Mix claims that it is “harassment” for me to report on the case, and seems to actually believe it is “harassment” even for me to mention his apparent threats against me. He has now even gone so far as to suggest that he will endeavor to deprive me of the advertising revenue on my blog, simply because I have used my blog to report about his lawsuit against Ms. Runyon, and about his evidently malicious statements toward me.
It should not be necessary, Mr. Rooney, for me to explain that this behavior by your client Mr. Mix could be construed as tortious, an attempt to deprive me of my First Amendment rights as a journalist. Furthermore, Mr. Mix’s apparent threats toward me could be viewed in a very unfavorable light — as evidence of malicious intent — in regard to the current litigation between your client and Ms. Runyon.
Keep in mind, Mr. Rooney, that I had no intention of doing any further reporting on Mr. Mix’s activities after my Wednesday morning article about his lawsuit against Ms. Runyon. It is only because of Mr. Mix’s arguably threatening statements, in the wake of that article, that I have continued writing about this. It is apparent, from examining Mr. Mix’s communications on Twitter, that he is being incited by the person using the account “Nicole Bonnet.” This behavior is highly suspicious — who is “Nicole Bonnet” and what is that person’s interest in this case? — and I believe that your client Mr. Mix is being influenced to behave in a manner contrary to his own best interest. As you are his attorney, however, it would seem that you have an obligation to advise him of the potential legal consequences of his activities.
To reiterate, sir, I have no personal interest in your client Mr. Mix, and took notice of him Wednesday only because of his lawsuit against Ms. Runyon. This might have been the end of it, had Mr. Mix not begun publishing statements that seemed to threaten me in response to my coverage of that case. In all that I have written, I have reported only the facts and shared my opinions. Never have I defamed Mr. Mix, nor is it my intention to harass him. Rather, it appears quite the opposite, that Mr. Mix is attempting to harass me.
Based upon what I have seen in the past two days, Mr. Rooney, it is my belief that your client Mr. Mix is suffering from serious psychiatric problems that impair his judgment. Mr. Mix appears to be in the throes of some sort of paranoid obsession that is leading him to pursue an insane vendetta against me, based on his delusional belief that I have done him some wrongful injury. Mr. Mix’s apparent fixation on me, and the evidence that he harbors some kind of revenge fantasy against me, is of course deeply troubling to me. However, your client is probably a greater danger to himself than he is to me or any of the various other “enemies” with whom he seems to be obsessed.
You did not reply to my email yesterday, but I hope to hear from you soon, as it continues to be my sincere desire ever to remain
Your most humble and obedient servant,
Robert Stacy McCain

Playing around on Twitter or Facebook is one thing. Trying to destroy a successful online publication that has generated tens of millions of page-views since 2008? Well, that’s just plain crazy, and it might also be against the law. Let’s hope Thomas Mix’s lawyer can talk sense to him.

UPDATE: Does anyone expect sane reactions from such people?

I’m a “stalker” and I’m “going down,” according to Thomas Mix, who is currently suing Jeanette Runyon over a Twitter flame-war dating to 2013. And notice that he has changed his Twitter handle yet again, evidently because it’s “harassment” for anyone to take notice of his online activity.

Should @Thomas_Arzi’s ‘Works of Darkness’ Be Hidden From the Light?

Posted on | July 6, 2016 | 21 Comments

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.”
— Ephesians 5:11:13 (KJV)

Thomas Mix does not like it when people call attention to his Florida lawsuit against Jeanette Runyon, and after I wrote about that case this morning, he and a person using the name “Nicole Bonnet” began discussing their plans to bring harm to me. He has now changed his Twitter handle “due to stalking,” as if it is “stalking” for me to take notice of someone who is threatening me. Let the light shine.

Let anyone seek if they can find evidence that I was paying any attention at all to Thomas Mix prior to this morning. During the controversy over sex offender Kaitlyn Hunt, Mix’s obsessive activity as a “Free Kate” supporter came to my attention, and you can click here to see how Mix (at that time using the Twitter handle @Periabo) and “Nicole Bonnet” were threatening retaliation against various people in December 2013.

Simple question: Why?

The Kaitlyn Hunt case concluded in October 2013, and she was released from jail on probation two months later. As I said at the time, “Most of us would like to forget about this sordid episode and move on.” So the question arises, why did Thomas Mix and “Nicole Bonnet” continue making threats against various critics of the “Free Kate” movement? Why not just drop it and move on? And why did Mix sue Jeanette Runyon in December 2015, more than two years after Kaitlyn Hunt was sentenced?

Who is “stalking” whom? Thomas Mix’s lawsuit against Jeanette Runyon is a matter of public record. It is news of public interest. Is Thomas Mix attempting to intimidate me into not writing about it? Why?

Show me the “harassment,” ma’am, or shut your filthy lying mouth.

UPDATE: Thomas Mix changed his handle again.

 

He’s gone full Schmalfeldt! Never go full Schmalfeldt.

UPDATE II: Allegedly, these are photos of Thomas Mix:

 

Notice I said “allegedly,” because if that goofy-looking weirdo is not Thomas Mix, it might be defamation to say he did look like that.
