Feminists Blame ‘Male Violence’ in Mississippi and Manchester

Posted on | May 30, 2017 | Comments Off on Feminists Blame ‘Male Violence’ in Mississippi and Manchester

 

Willie Cory Godbolt, 35, went on a shooting spree late Saturday night in the tiny hamlet of Bogue Chitto, Mississippi. Eight people were killed in a rampage that began when a relative of Godbolt’s estranged wife called 911 to report a domestic disturbance. Godbolt’s wife had left him three weeks earlier, taking their two sons and moving in with her mother and stepfather. Godbolt shot the sheriff’s deputy who responded to the call.

“I was having a conversation with her stepdaddy and her mama and her, my wife, about me taking my children home,” Godbolt told a reporter for the Jackson Clarion-Ledger after he was arrested. “Somebody called the officer, people that didn’t even live at the house. That’s what they do. They intervene. They cost him his life. I’m sorry.”

Godbolt’s wife escaped, but he killed her mother, her aunt, her sister and three other relatives. The killer had a criminal history:

In 2005, he was arrested for armed robbery and aggravated assault after allegedly striking a man over the head with a pistol before stealing his jewelry and cash. In 2013 he was charged with simple assault. In April 2015 he was arrested for driving with a suspended license and and later that year for disorderly conduct. Most recently he was was arrested in 2016 for contempt of justice court and an additional assault charge.

With such a record of criminal violence, why wasn’t Willie Godbolt already in prison? That’s a question worth asking, in terms of public policy, because eight people including a law-enforcement officer are dead as a result of Willie Godbolt being turned loose by the system.

His niece, Kiyah Godbolt, wrote on Facebook that the killer was a good man — “a provider, a protector and a love” — but that “the devil won more this morning. The devil possessed him.”

Christians may see Willie Godbolt’s crimes as a result of satanic influence, but feminists rushed to place the blame elsewhere.

“This is Patriarchal terror,” Stephanie Lamy proclaimed on Twitter. “Man killed because of male entitlement & male violence.”

Here’s a question: If “patriarchal terror” and “male entitlement” are such a universal force of oppression, why aren’t all men everywhere going on murder rampages? Why are black people, 13% of the U.S. population, responsible for half the murders in this country? And why are black people 44% of murder victims? To ask such questions is to risk the accusation of racism, but when feminists generalize the blame for atrocities — using phrases like “male violence” which imply collective guilt — no one seems to object to this as anti-male hate propaganda.

If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail, and if the only ideology you have is feminism, every problem looks like patriarchal oppression. So guess what feminists say when an Islamic terrorist kills 22 people in a suicide bomb attack?

 

 

So, a radical Muslim slaughters innocent people, but this is “not about Islam,” declares lesbian feminist Victoria Brownworth:

The source of the violence is men. I know — we aren’t allowed to say it. But it’s the reality. Terrorism in all its forms — bombings, shootings, mass vehicular homicide — is the purview of men. . . .
Make no mistake, the victims were not random. The killers — Abedi did not work alone — wanted to kill as many young girls and women as possible. And he, they succeeded — with only a few exceptions, the dead and injured were girls and women.

Right — blame men, all men generally, males as a collective group, but radical Methodists are not the men who detonate bombs in terrorist attacks intended to inflict mass casualties on women and children. Lutheran extremists do not hijack jets and fly them into skyscrapers.

Philippa Willitts reiterates the blame-men-not-Muslims theme:

Targeting an event that would be predominantly full of girls and young women — and a not insignificant number of gay men — was no accident. Abedi could have chosen any event at that venue, or elsewhere, so we need to look at what happened to make it a Grande concert that he decided upon. We have to acknowledge the misogyny behind his decision, his goal of punishing women purely for having a good time, and tackle the idea that men can or should control women’s lives. . . .
As with nearly every mass attack, the perpetrator of this crime was a man. This is far more prevalent than mass killers (including those attacking pupils in American schools) being Muslims, but it is rarely addressed in the mainstream media analysis of huge killings like that in Manchester.

Let’s notice the either/or binary thinking involved in such claims. Apparently, it has never occurred to feminists that these three factors — male violence, misogyny and Islam — are closely related. We need not make any assertion about which factors are causes and which are effects to say that this correlation deserves scrutiny. However, feminists are so busy blaming men (as if all 3.5 billion male human beings on the planet are equally complicit in “patriarchal terror”) that they must dismiss or minimize the influence of Islam in the Manchester attacks, in the same way that they ignore the fact that nearly half the homicides in America involve black perpetrators killing black victims.

In Chicago, seven people were killed and another 45 were wounded during Memorial Day weekend. So far this year, 231 people have been shot to death in Chicago, but have any feminists cited Chicago as a symbol of “male violence” in American society? No, because it does not fit the feminist agenda to call attention to the failures of liberal policy in a Democrat-controlled city. The same warped political ideology that allows feminists to ignore the incessant violence in Chicago (where 21 women have been murdered and more than 100 wounded so far this year) also allows them to pretend that Islam poses no distinct danger to women.

Damion Daniels has an excellent article debunking the liberal claim that “right-wing extremists” are more dangerous than Islamic terrorists, but when the facts don’t fit the Left’s agenda, the Left will either (a) ignore the facts, or (b) cling to convenient lies. However, if you point out that liberals aren’t telling the truth, this makes you a “right-wing extremist,” and therefore dangerous. One of these days, liberals may tell the truth about something, but today is not that day.

New Name, Same Game: ACORN Revived as Soros-Funded ‘Democracy’ Network

Posted on | May 28, 2017 | 2 Comments

 

In 2009, James O’Keefe, Hannah Giles and Andrew Breitbart basically destroyed ACORN, the radical “social justice” group that had begun as a spinoff of the National Welfare Rights Organization and grown into a nationwide political network. The wreckage of ACORN exposed the connections between these left-wing groups and the Alinsky tactics used by former “community organizer” Barack Obama. Destroying ACORN as an organization, however, did not destroy the idea behind it, and many of the same people are now organizing a new network:

A new $80 million anti-Trump network is being led by an organization whose top funder is liberal billionaire George Soros and which employs former members of the controversial and now-defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).
The Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund, the 501(c)(4) sister organization of the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD), a New York-based nonprofit that receives the bulk of its funding from George Soros, announced at their spring gala Tuesday that they will be heading up the new $80 million anti-Trump network that will span 32 states and have 48 local partners, CNN reported. . . .
The Center for Popular Democracy, which was founded in 2012, consists of old chapters of ACORN, the community-organizing group that was forced to close after being stripped of its federal funds following controversy in 2010.
Andrew Friedman, a co-executive director at the Center for Popular Democracy, co-founded Make the Road New York, a Latino immigrant group that has worked alongside CPD on a number of anti-Trump campaigns. Friedman serves on the board of Make the Road New York (MRNY) and Make the Road Action Fund, which are closely linked to CPD and contain many overlapping staffers. . . .
The groups, which have combined to receive millions in funding from George Soros, funnel money to each other. . . .
Soros has a goal of enlarging the electorate by 10 million voters by 2018, the Washington Free Beacon discovered after a trove of hacked Soros documents were released last year by DC Leaks.

How is this “enlarging the electorate” supposed to happen? By activist groups doing what used to be called “knock and drag” get-out-the-vote operations — knock on the door and drag them to the polls. In the meantime, of course, they’ll be organizing “spontaneous” protests to keep up the appearance of a grassroots anti-Trump movement, but the green in this grass comes from a radical billionaire ideologue.

President of NYC Young Democrats Arrested on Child Pornography Charges

Posted on | May 27, 2017 | Comments Off on President of NYC Young Democrats Arrested on Child Pornography Charges

The New York Post reports:

A leading young Democrat and de Blasio administration employee has a secret taste for sickening kiddie porn that involves baby girls as young as 6 months old, court papers revealed Friday.
Jacob Schwartz, 29, was busted for allegedly keeping more than 3,000 disgusting images and 89 videos on a laptop after downloading the filth from the internet.
The illegal smut shows “young nude females between the approximate ages of 6 months and 16, engaging in sexual conduct… on an adult male,” court papers say.
Schwartz’s father — labor lawyer and Democratic insider Arthur Schwartz — called his son’s case “a personal tragedy.”
“I understand these are serious charges,” said the elder Schwartz, who watched his son get arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on Thursday night. . . .
Jacob Schwartz surrendered to NYPD computer-crimes investigators in Manhattan’s 13th Precinct on Thursday morning, sources said.
He’d been under investigation since March 29, when he handed over his laptop and gave cops written permission to search it, court papers say.
Jacob Schwartz is the president of the Manhattan Young Democrats and the downstate region vice president of the New York State Young Democrats. . . .
Schwartz is employed as a $66,360-a-year computer programmer analyst in the city Department of Design and Construction, where he works on the “Build It Back” Hurricane Sandy recovery and resiliency program.

President of the Young Democrats! A typical “progressive” male . . .

College Teacher Eric Clanton Charged With Assault in Anti-Trump ‘Protest’

Posted on | May 26, 2017 | 2 Comments

Eric Clanton is charged with attacking Trump supporters in Berkeley.

Last month, we reported that Eric Clanton, an adjunct philosophy teacher at Diablo Valley College was suspected of being the masked man who attacked Trump supporters at an April 15 rally in Berkeley:

Clanton was identified by online activists using facial recognition software, and this week Berkeley police arrested the suspect:

A former Diablo Valley College philosophy professor has been arrested for his role in a violent melee that broke out during a Berkeley rally supporting President Donald Trump last month, authorities said Thursday. . . .
Authorities said Eric Clanton was arrested in Oakland on Wednesday afternoon. There had been an outcry for his apprehension on alt-right websites after a video clip was posted on social media of the 28-year-old allegedly assaulting a pro-Trump demonstration with a bike lock.
A DVC spokesman said among the philosophy classes Clanton taught was “Introduction to Ethics.”
“We especially at Diablo Valley College received, in fact, hundreds of calls and emails concerning the hiring, that we have someone like this in front of our class, in front of our students, potentially dangerous,” said spokesman Tim Leong.
Clanton was a candidate to teach another philosophy class at the college this summer. But he was arrested by Berkeley Police Wednesday.
Investigators said cellphone videos show him swinging the U-lock at multiple Trump supporters in the head, injuring at least three people.
Police said finding the U-lock attacker was such a priority, homicide detectives were assigned to the case.
“You’re swinging a small metal object that can absolutely cause traumatic injuries,” said Berkeley Police Lt. Kevin Schofield.
Investigators credit cellphone videos for helping them identify the U-lock attacker. Some people even posted their own research online, identifying the masked man as Clanton.
He was being held Thursday in the Berkeley city jail on $200,000 bail for assault with a non-firearm deadly weapon with an enhancement clause charge.

In any argument that something is seriously wrong with America’s higher education system, Exhibit A is Eric Clanton, who has a master’s degree in philosophy from San Francisco State University and was teaching ethics (!!!) to teenagers at a California community college.
