A Death in Antifastan

Posted on | June 21, 2020 | Comments Off on A Death in Antifastan

Gosh, it seems criminal gangs are operating in the cop-free zone:

Seattle police are investigating a shooting that left one person dead and another critically injured inside Seattle’s so-called “CHOP” or Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone.
The 911 calls to report shots fired in Cal Anderson Park, near the intersection of 10th Ave. and E. Pine Street started coming in at about 2:19 a.m. Saturday, according to city of Seattle officials.
At 2:25 a.m., Seattle Fire Department medics responded and were awaiting Seattle police to secure the scene before going into the CHOP, which is standard procedure for the fire department. Seattle police arrived at about 2:28 a.m. but weren’t able to get inside the CHOP zone.
Police tried to find the shooting victims but were met by a “violent crowd” that prevented the officers from safely accessing the victims, according to a release from Seattle police Saturday. . . .
Police later discovered both shooting victims were taken to Harborview Medical Center in private vehicles by CHOP medics.
The first victim, a 19-year-old man arrived at Harborview at 2:42 a.m., according to a Seattle fire dispatch log provided by city officials. The man died from his injuries, police said. The second victim, a 33-year-old man, arrived at Harborview at about 3:06 a.m. and remains in critical condition as of Sunday afternoon. . . .
Organizers of the CHOP sent a statement to KING 5, that said in part no one official was denying Seattle police or fire entry to the area.
“No one within the CHOP denied entry to PD within any organizational capacity. Officers deciding on their own not to enter an area is not the same as being denied entry,” read the statement. “We as safety teams are peacekeepers, not police. We do not want to be homicide detectives, or CSI, or accessories to this murder. We still want what we wanted from day one, justice for all.”
In the statement, organizers also said the people involved in the shooting may have a previous history and “the situation escalated because of gang affiliations,” however, the involvement of gangs in the shooting has not been confirmed by police. . . .
Maryellen Donnelly lives across the street from where the shooting happened and heard the gunshots. She said she’s begged lawmakers to intervene for everyone’s safety.
“We need help, we live here, we need to not be ignored, there needs to be a dialogue. I think the initial protest has gotten lost,” said Donnelly.

 

See, there’s no point trying to help liberals, who will believe any lie, so long as the liars speak in the rhetoric of “social justice.”

What, exactly, what “the initial protest” about? An anarchist mob started rioting in Seattle because of what happened in Minneapolis? Because police in Seattle are racist? There was no actual grievance in Seattle, so the “protest” had no real purpose. It was simply an excuse for anarchists and other criminals to assemble and commit violence. The city’s mayor simply ordered the abandonment of a police precinct and surrendered an entire neighborhood to this dangerous mob, and we are surprised that gang-bangers are settling scores in the “autonomous zone”? We are surprised that this neighborhood has become a lawless jungle?

Elect Democrats, and this is what you get.




 

Surprising Plot Twist in Atlanta: ‘Girlfriend’ Is Suspect in Wendy’s Arson

Posted on | June 21, 2020 | 2 Comments

 

Absolutely did not see this coming:

Atlanta police issue arrest warrant
for Rayshard Brooks’ ‘girlfriend’, 29,
for burning down the Wendy’s where
he was shot and killed by cops

That’s the Daily Mail headline (via Ed Driscoll at Instapundit).

When I first saw this angle tipped yesterday by Wayne Dupree, I couldn’t believe it. If you saw the video on social media, you probably guessed that the white girl setting fire to Wendy’s was some kind of Antifa radical. To discover she may be Rayshard Brooks girlfriend? Whoa!

It was reporters in Atlanta who first noticed that the name of the arson suspect matched the name Brooks told police was the girlfriend who dropped him off at Wendy’s, as captured on bodycam video:

During the incident, Brooks suggested to officers that he could go to his girlfriend’s house nearby. In the footage, Brooks names White.
“You know, Natalie White, she’s my girlfriend. She left. I said, ‘Baby, I’ll get Wendy’s and then I’ll go back …'” he can be heard saying.

But that was a lie. Natalie White is from Gwinnett County, on the other side of the city from the Wendy’s where Brooks was shot.

If this woman was his girlfriend, what does that tell us about the relationship between Brooks and Tomika Miller, the mother of his three children, who has made so many media appearances lamenting the death of the man she calls her “husband”? Not that running around on your baby mama ought to be punishable by death, but considering how the media have depicted Brooks as a saintly martyr, this information does seem relevant. Although I’m sure it’s racist to question the beatification of St. Rayshard of the Blessed Bacon Double Cheeseburger.




 

$17.76

Posted on | June 20, 2020 | 5 Comments

Whenever it comes time to, uh, celebrate shameless capitalism here, the suggested donation is $17.76, because we love America.

Of course, our patriotic readers know what happened in 1776, and also know that this is why the Fourth of July is celebrated annually.

Because we love America. And we love tradition. So our family has a traditional celebration of our national independence. Which is to say that we shoot off a metric buttload of fireworks. Read more

Didn’t We Try to Warn You?

Posted on | June 20, 2020 | 3 Comments

 

When last we took notice of Portland, Mayor Ted Wheeler had decided there were limits to coddling Antifa, namely when they tried to set up an “autonomous zone” in front of his apartment building.

Nothing can appease the vandal horde:

A statue of George Washington, the first president of the United States, was toppled and draped in a burning American flag by protesters in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday evening.
KOIN 6 reports:

Thursday marked the 21st day of protests in Portland sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. Two groups — Rose City Justice and Lavender Caucus — hosted a sit-in rally at Jefferson High School in the evening where community members shared their experiences with racism to a crowd of a few hundred. The group did not hold a march.
A separate group of about 20 people met at NE Sandy Boulevard and NE 57th Avenue around 10 p.m. at the site of a large bronze statue of George Washington. Some wrapped the statue’s head in an American flag and lit the flag on fire. Their numbers grew over the next hour until there were enough people to pull the statue to the ground. They quickly scattered. A KOIN 6 News crew found the statue face down and covered in graffiti. Portland police arrived a short time later. . . .

The monument and its base were covered in vandalism, including the phrases: “Murder,” “Big Floyd,” “1619,” “Fuck Cops,” “BLM,” “Land Back,” “White Fragility,” and “You’re on Native Land.”
On Sunday, a statue of Thomas Jefferson, the United States’ third president and author of the Declaration of Independence, was defaced and torn down outside a Portland high school.
Photos obtained by Oregon Live show the base of the monument was spray-painted in black with “slave owner” and “George Floyd.”

Back in the 1990s, when activists began declaring the Confederate flag to be “controversial,” I recall leaders of the Sons of Confederate Veterans warning that this malicious spirit would not stop with dishonoring our Southern ancestors. Rather, these “activists” were inspired by demonic forces of racial hatred toward all white people, so that once they were through trashing the memory of the Confederacy, next they would turn to destroying the memory of the Founding Fathers and momunuments to other famous figures of American history. Does this sound familiar?

The term Year Zero . . . applied to the takeover of Cambodia in April 1975 by the Khmer Rouge, is an analogy to the Year One of the French Revolutionary Calendar. . . .
The idea behind Year Zero is that all culture and traditions within a society must be completely destroyed or discarded and a new revolutionary culture must replace it, starting from scratch. All of the history of a nation or people before Year Zero is largely deemed irrelevant, because it will ideally be purged and replaced from the ground up.

Do not mistake their purpose. Stigmatizing our nation’s past as stained by oppression, radicals seek not only to destroy symbols of our history, but also to destroy all laws, customs and traditions that might obstruct the totalitarian regime they intend to impose upon us.

The toppling of monuments to Washington and Jefferson came at a most inconvenient time for Rich Lowry, who just the other day had assured us that there was no such “slippery slope” ahead. The shallow, corrupt and cowardly editor of National Review wrote a column with the headline “Conservatives Should Feel No Investment in Confederate Monuments,” in which he basically celebrated the vandal horde.

Friday night in D.C.’s Judiciary Square, police stood by and did nothing while an Antifa mob tore down the statue of Albert Pike, who not only led Native American troops who fought for the Confederacy, but was a leading figure in the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.

Also Friday night the vandal horde in Raleigh, N.C., destroyed a monument to North Carolina’s Confederate troops. Anyone who applauds these acts of deliberate destruction now will have no logical grounds for complaint when the mob goes after some other “offensive” historical figure. And make no mistake, they will not stop at destroying monuments to dead white men, but will soon bring a campaign of organized and systematic violence against living white people.

Not only did the San Francisco mob topple the statue of a Catholic missionary, but also statues of U.S. Grant and Francis Scott Key.

Left-wing white “allies” of this racial terrorist movement are like the Girondists in the French Revolution, who were happy to overthrow the monarchy, but then found themselves sent to the guillotine by the more radical Jacobins. The Reign of Terror did not stop until it had consumed the lives of even its original authors, and this is the story of all radical movements in every age since. Only the most ruthless fanatics obtain power in radical regimes, because no rational or moderate person would be part of such a movement. Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) are now happy to incite this hateful radicalism because they believe it will help them defeat President Trump in November.

Long before Election Day arrives, however, I expect that this movement will boomerang back against the Democrats somehow. I cannot predict what manner this ironic self-inflicted injury will take, because there are so many possibilities. For example, did you know that the mayor’s residence in New York City was built by and named for a slave-owner?

Burn it down, baby. Burn it all down.
