I get the idea of a #WhiteStrike. When you are called a villain due to the color of your skin daily, you get frustrated. But I think it is more helpful to simply ignore skin color. We all should. It is 2020. Skin color does not make you anything, does it?
Congresswoman Rashid Tlaib, an elected official, tweeted that facial recognition software is somehow racist…this is what happens when no one calls BS on that which is truly BS. Suddenly, in the Western, civilized, first world, science, math, law, and in fact ALL things derived from European influence are now too “racist” to be allowed.
Syrup is also racist.
But, here we are…domestic terrorists are tearing down statues of George Washington–maybe 4chan should start a troll meme urging people to destroy the pictures of Washington they carry around in their pockets.
Big Tech has also entered the war. Reuters reports that Facebook has removed posts and ads from the Trump Campaign for violating the their rules against “organized hate”.
An email from an Atlanta police officer: “Atlanta police officers are refusing to answer the radio and walking off of the job. The county can go screw themselves. If you want a society without police we’ll give you one. Let it burn!”
In Atlanta, Melissa Rolfe, Officer Rolfe’s stepmom, has been fired from her job for apparently creating a “hostile work environment”. It’s not enough for the woke mob to ruin you, now they demand everyone in your family, anyone with close ties to you, also share in your fate. Does anyone believe Rolfe’s stepmother suddenly created a “hostile environment”?
In Soviet History, we called this kind of thing a purge. And it’s happening right now.
Enough. America should not tolerate the violent goons of the Democrat party that are hiding behind caring for black lives as they destroy black communities, destroy businesses and tear down our country and its history.
The book burnings have begun. The novels by Harper Lee and Mark Twain have been pulled from school syllabuses in Minnesota over fears their use of racial slurs will upset students. The Duluth school district said it was removing To Kill a Mockingbird and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from its curriculum because their content may make students feel “humiliated or marginalized”.
It’s important to know the difference between what you want to be true and what actually is.
Paul Plante says
To those of us who are sane and rational, capable of thought as opposed to being slaves to our unchecked emotions, skin color does not make you anything, at all, other than a human being like everybody else, all of whom have a body covered by a protective layer of skin of different shades or colors.
However, to the PROGRESSIVES, the DEMOCRATS, the DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS and the LIBERALS, skin color happens to be everything.
It is something they are fixated on, being at best very shallow thinkers as they are, and something they obsess over, being the victims of their overworked and uncontrolled passions.
And never the twain shall meet.
Paul Plante says
In the Democrat-controlled liberal, progressive sanctuary city of Albany, New York, seat of the government of the Democratic Socialist governor of New York, Andy “HE’S THE KING AND HE KNOWS IT” Cuomo, the mayor, a Democrat airhead, by executive order, as if she were Catherine the Great of Russia, has ordered the removal of a statue of Revolutionary War HERO Philip Schuyler, as we see in the New York Daily News article “Cuomo again defends Columbus amid renewed calls to remove statue” by Denis Slattery on June 11, 2020, to wit:
In Albany, Mayor Kathy Sheehan announced Thursday that the state capital will be removing a statue of Revolutionary War general Philip Schuyler because he was a slave owner.
“I have signed an Executive Order directing the removal of the statue honoring Maj. Gen. Philip Schuyler — reportedly the largest owner of enslaved people in Albany during his time — from in front of Albany City Hall,” Sheehan tweeted.
end quotes
It is fitting that she should be TWEETING, as she lacks the intelligence to do any more than that, and notice her ignorance showing in the phrase “reportedly the largest owner of enslaved people in Albany during his time.”
She says it that way because she is too ignorant to know if it is true or not, and she is too ******* lazy to find out, because she, being the dim-witted mayor of a sanctuary city, like Neville Chamberlain, is an APPEASOR!
She is doing what the mob who just burned down and looted the downtown of her city want her to do, and she is TOO COWARDLY to stand up to them and their own gross ignorance.
Fact of the matter is that without Philp Schuyler AND HIS SLAVES, we in this country might still be tugging the forelock to an English king or queen.
Fact of the matter is that the people of Albany and New York state owe Philip Schuyler AND HIS SLAVES a greater debt for their freedom than they will ever owe to the dim-witted MOB APPEASOR Kathy Sheehan of Albany.
And in the meantime, in her sanctuary city, we have this recent story from the Albany Times Union entitled “North Albany residents shaken by Thursday’s early morning mass shooting – Man shot on Third Street in afternoon dies” by Massarah Mikati on June 19, 2020, to wit:
ALBANY — North Albany is a quaint neighborhood speckled with warehouses, the occasional restaurant and rows of townhomes.
But what’s usually a quiet street saw an outburst of violence early Thursday morning, with a shooting sending eight people to the hospital.
“I moved out here in 2005, nothing like this ever, ever happened,” said one resident, who asked the Times Union not to use her name.
“Now I’m scared.”
Tara Colvin, another resident, agreed.
“It never was like this,” she said, gritting her teeth in frustration.
“I heard they were from downtown and that’s the sad part.”
“Y’all come to somebody else’s neighborhood to tear up our neighborhood and we’re peaceful out here.”
Those shooting were followed with two more shootings in the city Thursday afternoon.
A 34-year-old man was shot multiple times on Third Street just east of Quail Street sometime before 4 p.m., when police arrived.
The man, whose name was not released, was later pronounced dead at Albany Medical Center Hospital.
At about 2:15 p.m., a 21-year-old man was shot in the leg on Westerlo Street near Grand Street and taken to the hospital.
Residents said they were sleeping and awoke to loud popping noises that they initially mistook for fireworks.
“But you can hear the pop, it’s different,” a third resident said.
They heard men shouting, “I got hit!”
Looking out their windows, residents saw one man lying on the ground, a pool of blood seeping from his head.
Thursday morning, the sidewalk and road were still stained with his blood, and with bloody footprints.
“You could see where the bullet went through his head,” the first resident said.
“He’s the only one who didn’t get up.”
Spokesperson Steve Smith said a car drove up to the scene and shot several rounds.
The women said the dice were in the middle of the road in the morning.
Other residents gathered, talking about how they don’t feel safe in their neighborhood anymore.
“I just told (my sister) she can’t sleep in the front room no more,” one man told his neighbor.
“I am tired of all of this,” Colvin said.
“I want to be able to be outside, be free, be comfortable.”
Michael Priceman went out to his car Thursday morning to find a gaping hole where his back windshield used to be — a bullet had hit his Audi A6.
The shooting in North Albany is one of 11 shootings that took place in the city over the course of 24 hours Wednesday leading into Thursday, and it’s an issue city officials have been preparing for since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
end quotes
Yes, it is good to know the mayor has her priorities straight here – get that statue of that slave-owner out of sight to protect the people of Albany from having to look at it.
As go the gun violence?
It’s a sanctuary city – what is it that you think would happen there?
Callingyourbluff says
Freedom to protest and speak if a fundamental right. You are wrong to think there is a “right” way to protest. When you protest, you are opposing the system that exists today. People are protesting statues, brand images, the police because of what they represent, not because of what they are on the surface.
Ray Otton says
I’m going to have to call bullshit on your statement.
A month ago there were massive protests around the country because of the excessive restrictions due to COVID. The people were exercising their 1st amendment right by letting their leaders know that they opposed the system that put their very lives in peril due to the economic repercussions of the lockdown.
These were noisy, energetic protests, some folks even brought guns, thus exercising two rights at once.
No one got hurt, no buildings were destroyed, no looting took place and yet, based on their peaceful protests, a number of political leaders changed their minds about the draconian nature of their rules.
That’s how we do it in this country. especially if you want other people to listen to what you are saying.
So, keyboard warrior, you best understand, once you light that first match, throw that first brick, loot that first store or topple that first monument we’re done listening.
Paul Plante says
And once again, Callingyourbluff, let me commend you as a fellow America for keeping to the intellectual high road in here in how you have carefully and paintakenly expressed your thoughts and feelings on the subject of whether or not there is in America, a divided land in a state of turmoil with a lawless, anarchic CHOP or CHAZ in Seattle, Washington, with a corresponding lawless, anarchic ZOIA (Zone of Ignorance and Anarchy) in Democrat Kathy Sheehan’s SANCTUARY CITY of Albany, New York, the seat of power of Democratic Socialist governor of New York Andy Cuomo, a right or wrong way to “protest,” with your following statement, to wit:
You are wrong to think there is a “right” way to protest.
end quotes
Which means you are dead right when you say there is a wrong way to protest, which point was just in fact made in the Associated Press article “Seattle mayor says city will move to wind down ‘occupied’ protest zone following 2 shootings” on 23 June 2020, to wit:
SEATTLE (AP) — Faced with growing pressure to crack down on an “occupied” protest zone following two weekend shootings, Seattle’s mayor said Monday that officials will move to wind down the blocks-long span of city streets taken over two weeks ago that President Donald Trump asserted is run by “anarchists.”
Mayor Jenny Durkan said at a news conference that the violence was distracting from changes sought by thousands of peaceful protesters seeking to address racial inequity and police brutality.
end quotes
I don’t know about yourself, Callingyourbluff, and certainly, I don’t want to force my opinion on you, but it very much sounds to me like there was a wrong way to protest involved here, but let’s go further to flesh that out some more, as I know you like facts:
She said the city is working with the community to bring the “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest” zone to an end.
“The cumulative impacts of the gatherings and protests and the nighttime atmosphere and violence has led to increasingly difficult circumstances for our businesses and residents,” Durkan said.
“The impacts have increased and the safety has decreased.”
end quotes
I always wonder why people are stupid enough to think that anti-law and order anarchists and those who hate America and white people are going to provide them with protection of law.
Getting back to Seattle, we have:
A shooting Sunday night was the second in less than 48 hours at the edge of the zone, named for the Capitol Hill neighborhood near downtown that emerged during nationwide protests over the police killing of George Floyd.
Gunfire early Saturday left a 19-year-old man dead and another person critically wounded.
Protesters cordoned off the several-block area, known as CHOP, near a police station after clashes with officers.
After police largely abandoned the East Precinct building, protesters took over the area — with demonstrators painting a large “Black Lives Matter” mural on the street, handing out free food, playing music and planting a community garden.
Peacefulness has prevailed during the day.
At night, however, the atmosphere becomes more charged, with demonstrators marching and openly armed volunteer guards keeping watch.
Durkan said she planned to announce a plan Monday for addressing public safety in the area.
“After days of peaceful demonstrations, two nights of shootings have clearly escalated the situation on Capitol Hill,” Durkan’s office said in a statement.
“We have been meeting with residents and small business owners to address their safety and disorder concerns, including the ability of first responders to access emergencies in the area.”
“… As many community groups are also urging, (the) Mayor believes individuals can and should peacefully demonstrate, but the message cannot be lost in the violence.”
end quotes
Not telling you what you have to think, but doesn’t it sound like the lawless anarchists and the people who hate America went about things wrong here?
Or is that just an opinion a clueless white person who doesn’t “get it” would have?
The white man thinks what they did was wrong, while to them it is right because it is their chosen way of life, and that is that, and I can dig that happening, Callingyourbluff, truly I can.
Getting back to Seattle and the wrong way to do things when you’re protesting violence, we have:
Andre Taylor, who founded of the anti-police-shooting organization Not This Time! after his brother was killed by Seattle police in 2016, said Monday that he had warned protest organizers that the city would need to retake the area because of the violence.
“That CHOP area is attracting this kind of activity and it’s unsafe,” Taylor said in a Facebook video.
“I told them, ‘All those people that were supporting you guys, they’re going to start walking away from you, especially all those white people that were following you.”
“… They don’t want to be associated with any part of that violence.”
end quotes
I “get that,” Callingyourbluff.
How about yourself?
Are you “woke” to that reality, do you think?
Getting back to Seattle one more time, we have this to ponder, to wit:
Former U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert, a Republican who previously served as sheriff in the county where Seattle is located, also called on the city to take back control.
“Elected officials have abandoned the rule of law and their oath to protect and defend our communities,” he wrote in an opinion piece for Washington State Wire, a website devoted to state political news.
“They have abandoned their law-abiding citizens and have been cowardly bullied into surrendering the East Precinct – and multiple city blocks.”
end quotes
Yes, they did, and so has Democrat Kathy Sheehan in her lawless ZOIA in Albany, New York where Mayor Sheehan is not the de facto dispenser of law and order and justice in Albany, with her demand that the Albany Police Officers involved in arresting one of her protected people on charges of inciting to riot be summarily suspended, which they have been, pending a review by Kathy Sheehan’s creatures on the internal affairs board, and the charges they preferred be dropped, which they have been.
Blue Hoss says
When they represent a MAJORITY of our population, maybe we will take them serious. Until then, they need to thank God it is not 1950, as they would be silenced. violently.
Paul Plante says
Good morning, Callingyourbluff, and thanks from this older American for your thoughtful comments above here, and your efforts to keep this discussion on a higher intellectual plane as befits the Cape Charles Mirror!
However, I went back an re-read the article twice, and nowhere in there did I find any mention of the right way to protest versus the wrong way to protest.
To the contrary, what I found in the beginning of the article was this:
“But I think it is more helpful to simply ignore skin color.”
“We all should.”
“It is 2020.”
“Skin color does not make you anything, does it?”
end quotes
Where do you find yourself coming down on that question, Callingyourbluff?
And from there, we go to here:
“America should not tolerate the violent goons of the Democrat party that are hiding behind caring for black lives as they destroy black communities, destroy businesses and tear down our country and its history.”
end quotes
When you say “(F)reedom to protest and speak if (sic.) a fundamental right,” and
“(Y)ou are wrong to think there is a ‘right’ way to protest.” are you saying that America should tolerate the violent goons of the Democrat party that are hiding behind caring for black lives as they destroy black communities, destroy businesses and tear down our country and its history?
When you say, “(W)hen you protest, you are opposing the system that exists today,” what exactly is “the system that exists today” that is being protested against?
With respect to the “system” as it exists today in the Democrat-controlled sanctuary city of Albany, New York, above here, I posted from an Albany, New York Times Union article entitled “North Albany residents shaken by Thursday’s early morning mass shooting – Man shot on Third Street in afternoon dies” by Massarah Mikati on June 19, 2020, which described that existing system quite well and quite graphically, to wit:
ALBANY — North Albany is a quaint neighborhood speckled with warehouses, the occasional restaurant and rows of townhomes.
But what’s usually a quiet street saw an outburst of violence early Thursday morning, with a shooting sending eight people to the hospital.
Those shooting were followed with two more shootings in the city Thursday afternoon.
A 34-year-old man was shot multiple times on Third Street just east of Quail Street sometime before 4 p.m., when police arrived.
The man, whose name was not released, was later pronounced dead at Albany Medical Center Hospital.
At about 2:15 p.m., a 21-year-old man was shot in the leg on Westerlo Street near Grand Street and taken to the hospital.
end quotes
Needless to say, those shooters were all black, those who were shot were all black, and those whose lives have been disrupted by the shooting which have them living in terror are all black.
Should that “system” be protested against, do you think?
Or should that be accepted, because it happens to be the status quo in Albany, New York, where the black folks quite regularly shoot each other, apparently because that is how they live and interact with each other?
Which brings us back to the original post as follows:
An email from an Atlanta police officer: “Atlanta police officers are refusing to answer the radio and walking off of the job.”
“The county can go screw themselves.”
“If you want a society without police we’ll give you one.”
“Let it burn!”
end quotes
Is that a legitimate form of protest, do you think, for the cops to refuse to do their jobs?
Which thought takes us to another Albany, New York Times Union article entitled “Demonstrators rally outside court for couple arrested while recording police” by Steve Hughes on June 17, 2020, to wit:
Addison and Shuman were arrested shortly after they began recording the arrest of another man near the intersection of South Pearl and Arch streets.
The incident took place days after several rallies – including two that featured clashes between police and protesters – were held in Albany to call for police reforms and an end to police brutality after the May 25 killing of George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
Police accused Addison of inciting a riot and resisting arrest.
The incident occurred near the police department’s South Station where police and protesters clashed on May 30.
Shuman was also accused of resisting arrest.
As videos of the arrest surfaced, Mayor Kathy Sheehan said she was troubled by the behavior of police and the city announced the charges would be dropped.
The case was referred to the police department’s Office of Professional Standards.
“The video footage does not appear to depict efforts by police to de-escalate a situation, nor it does it depict the sensitivity I expect from all city employees in this moment and every day,” she said.
end quotes
Those police officers involved have been suspended, as the Democrat mayor demanded.
On the meantime, the rioters and looters who destroyed the downtown area of her city have gone free, as have the shooters involved in that gun violence.
Is that a “system” we should tolerate, do you think?
The candid world would like to know.

Paul Plante says
Getting back to the original post, as we ponder the lawless and anarchic CHOP or CHAZ in Democrat-controlled Seattle, Washington, and the corresponding lawless and anarchic ZOIA in the Democrat-controlled “sanctuary city of Albany, New York under mayor Kathy Sheehan, who has taken over the functions of law enforcement in that city, including being a judge and juror, my attention is brought back to the statement that “America should not tolerate the violent goons of the Democrat party that are hiding behind caring for black lives as they destroy black communities, destroy businesses and tear down our country and its history.”
Clearly, given the situation in both Albany and Seattle, America appears to be highly divided on that specific question, with the Democrats under Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and Kathy Sheehan of Albany clearly on the side of those who loot and burn and destroy our civilized society in this country which they hate because it was created by people who do not look like them, which thought in its turn takes us to a recent opinion piece in the WASHINGTON STATE Wire entitled “Reichert: Seattle is in Chaos” by Dave Reichert, who served as King County Sheriff from 1997-2005 and represented Washington’s 8th congressional district from 2005-2019, on June 22, 2020, wherein we were informed as follo9ws, to wit:
In 1999, as the King County Sheriff, I stood on the front lines during the WTO riots with my brothers and sisters in law enforcement.
Our job was to protect lives and property while protecting our First Amendment right to free speech.
I believe by working together, we succeeded.
It wasn’t perfect, but we could talk to each other then.
end quotes
To which I can only reply that at least in Democrat-controlled Albany, New York, with anti-law and order MOB APPEASOR and MOLLYCODDLER Kathy Sheehan in charge, who wants the police to be “sensitive,” while her protected savages loot and burn her city, those days where people could still talk to each other are long, long gone.
She doesn’t want the police talking to her savages; she wants the police subservient to her savages which doesn’t make for good dialogue, which takes us back to that opinion piece, as follows:
What’s happening in Seattle today is unlike anything I have seen in decades.
Elected officials have abandoned the rule of law and their oath to protect and defend our communities.
end quotes
And that is exactly what Democrat Kathy Sheehan has done in Albany, New York, as well – abandoned rule of law and her oath to protect and defend her “community,” which takes us back to the opinion piece, as follows:
They have abandoned their law-abiding citizens and have been cowardly bullied into surrendering the East Precinct – and multiple city blocks.
end quotes
In Albany, New York, Kathy Sheehan is doing that with South Station, surrendering it to the mob she truckles to, which takes us to this very relevant statement from that opinion piece, to wit:
They’ve sold their duty, honor, and pride to radicals set on destroying the very heart of America.
end quotes
And amen to that say I, for that is exactly what Kathy Sheehan has done in Albany, and by so doing, she has literally painted targets on her own police officers, those who are white, making them targets for her pets in the looting, burning mobs that rule her city through her, and she is inciting people to do violence to them, which takes us to this from that opinion piece, to wit:
The tragic murder of George Floyd should never have happened.
Derek Chauvin’s actions show an utter disregard for life and a shocking abuse of power.
Every dedicated, honest, decent cop in this country would consider Derek Chauvin’s actions disgusting.
Every American should be outraged, and it’s our duty to demand justice.
However, Mr. Floyd’s tragic death, and others before it, does not justify violence, stomping on the rights of our neighbors.
end quotes
Except in Democrat-controlled Albany, New York, it did!
Getting back to the opinion piece:
Lawlessness is not made lawful by the good intentions of the wrongdoer.
end quotes
Sadly, that is not an opinion that Kathy Sheehan of Albany, New York shares!
Getting back to the piece:
President Theodore Roosevelt once said, “no man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man’s permission when we ask him to obey it.”
end quotes
That was over a hundred years ago, however, and ironically, Teddy Roosevelt served time in Albany as governor before becoming vice president – today, with her “sensitivity” campaign, we do have to ask the permission of her mob when we ask the mob to obey our laws, which they recently rejected when they were looting and burning downtown Albany.
Sorry, Teddy, but the times, they have changed, and your words have long since been discarded as irrelevant.
Paul Plante says
At the conclusion of the thought-provoking original post in this thread, we, all of us in not only America, but the world as well, given the far reach of the Cape Charles Mirror, thanks to Al Gore and the internet, black, white, yellow, tan, red, puce, candy-striped, whatever, are presented with this very serious existential proposition, to wit:
It’s important to know the difference between what you want to be true and what actually is.
end quotes
Now, when you think about it, and everybody in this country over the age of ten should be thinking about it, that is really quite profound!
Something somebody out in nature’s unforgiving element like a surfer would come up with.
As to knowing the difference between what Democrat Mollycoddler Mayor Kathy Sheehan would you want to believe true about her lawless sanctuary city of Albany, New York, the seat of government of Democratic Socialist governor of New York Andy Cuomo, and what actually is true, that is very important, as we can see from the Albany, New York Times Union article entitled “Hawkins: Small group responsible for Albany violence – Police chief says Thursday that they know who perpetrators are” by Steve Hughes updated June 26, 2020, where we learn about what really goes on in Mayor Sheehan’s sanctuary city of Albany, New York, as follows:
Sheehan and Hawkins spoke after five people were shot, two fatally, on Wednesday.
An elderly woman was in critical conditions after being struck in the neck in a drive-by shooting on Quail Street.
A man was also injured in that shooting and a 16-year-old was injured in a separate shooting on Clinton Street.
Since June 18, 25 people have been shot in the city.
Sixty people have been shot so far this year in the city and eight have been killed, including four within the last week.
The city had four homicides in 2019.
end quotes
Moral of that story is don’t go ’round Kathy Sheehan’s sanctuary city of Albany tonight.
It’s bound to take your life!
Because when the sun goes down, in Kathy Sheehan’s sanctuary city of Albany, New York, there’s a bad moon on the rise, which takes us back to that Times Union story for more as follows:
During the news conference, they promised residents would see more officers on the street after Hawkins requested assistance Wednesday from the State Police and Albany County Sheriff’s Department.
end quotes
And why is Chief Hawkins forced to request assistance from the State Police and Albany County Sheriff’s Department?
For that answer, let’s drop back in time to June 17, 2020, and the Albany, New York Times Union article entitled “Demonstrators rally outside court for couple arrested while recording police” by Steve Hughes, to wit:
Addison and Shuman were arrested shortly after they began recording the arrest of another man near the intersection of South Pearl and Arch streets.
The incident took place days after several rallies – including two that featured clashes between police and protesters – were held in Albany to call for police reforms and an end to police brutality after the May 25 killing of George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
Police accused Addison of inciting a riot and resisting arrest.
He says he was simply trying to exercise his rights by recording an arrest during a time fraught with tension over police brutality and used profanity in frustration.
The incident occurred near the police department’s South Station where police and protesters clashed on May 30.
Shuman was also accused of resisting arrest.
As videos of the arrest surfaced, Mayor Kathy Sheehan said she was troubled by the behavior of police and the city announced the charges would be dropped.
The case was referred to the police department’s Office of Professional Standards.
“The video footage does not appear to depict efforts by police to de-escalate a situation, nor it does it depict the sensitivity I expect from all city employees in this moment and every day,” she said.
end quotes
The Albany Police Department has to ask for outside help enforcing the law inside Kathy Sheehan’s lawless sanctuary city of Albany, New York because just so many days ago, as was reported in the Albany, New York Times Union, this Mollycoddling Mayor DEMANDED of this same Chief Hawkins asking for outside help that he summarily suspend the South Station detectives who in more normal and rational times would be the ones out there arresting these violent criminals who have sanctuary from the law in Democrat Kathy Sheehan’s lawless sanctuary city of Albany, New York.
She demanded of Chief Hawkins that these detectives, who during the riots in Albany were trying to keep South Station from being burned down, be suspended because as she clearly stated in the Times Union article, they simply were not sensitive enough to the people who wanted to burn down South Station days before.
So now, Democrat Mollycoddler Kathy Sheehan has a real problem at hand, given the suspension of these South Station detectives for a failure on their part to be sensitive to the emotional needs of lawless thugs, rioters, arsonists, looters and outright murderers in the City of Albany – who wants to be the next in line to be suspended for not truckling to a violent killer and abasing oneself to him because the Mayor of Albany wants police who are “sensitive.”
More to the point, what white cop in his or her right mind in the City of Albany is going to put their life in danger for Kathy Sheehan, who has proven herself untrustworthy when it comes to enforcement of the law in Albany, New York?
The values of Kathy Sheehan simply are not worth fighting for, they are not worth bleeding for and they sure as hell are not worth dying for.
So this show is about to get interesting, so stay tuned, more is yet to come!
Paul Plante says
With respect to the serious existential question posed to each and every one of us as American citizens in the original post of this thread, regardless of skin color, or so one would think, anyway, with all of us regardless of skin color supposedly being equal to each other, that being “(I)t’s important to know the difference between what you want to be true and what actually is,” in the Democrat-controlled sanctuary city of Albany, New York, the Mollycoddling Democrat Mayor, Kathy Sheehan, spent good taxpayer money that could have gone to other purposes having her Department of General Services paint “BLACK LIVES MATTER” on the pavement of Lark Street in the “white” part of Albany, Lark Street being Albany’s equivalent of Rodeo Drive in tony Beverly Hills, California, a shopping district famous for designer label and haute couture fashion.
The irony here is several fold, starting with the fact that the upscale white folks the message on the pavement being driven over by the Porsches and BMW’s and Mercedes is apparently intended for, as if they might somehow think or believe otherwise, when there is a break in the traffic, can stand there and listen to the crackle of gunfire coming from over in the “black” part of Albany, where the black folks murdering each other, as they do in so many places in America today, Chicago coming immediately to mind, are proving on a daily basis that to the black folks who spend their time murdering each other, black lives DO NOT matter at all.
Here we read in the Albany, New York Times Union article entitled “Hawkins: Small group responsible for Albany violence – Police chief says Thursday that they know who perpetrators are” by Steve Hughes updated June 26, 2020, about the Mollycoddling Democrat Mayor who had “BLACK LIVES MATTER” painted on Lark Street at taxpayer expense holding a press conference after five black people were shot, two fatally, on Wednesday, by other black folks, with an elderly black woman being in critical conditions after being struck in the neck in a drive-by shooting on Quail Street, and a black man also being injured in that shooting and a 16-year-old black person being injured in a separate shooting on Clinton Street, and since June 18, 25 black people have been shot in the city by other black people, and sixty black people have been shot so far this year in the city and eight have been killed by other black people, including four within the last week, an not a single word was heard from the “BLACK LIVES MATTER” crowd in Albany, who only recently had rioted in Albany because of George Floyd.
WHY?
Why, when it is the black folks killing other black folks, does this “BLACK LIVES MATTER” crowd stay silent?
And where on earth is the Reverend Al Sharpton when these black-on-black killings are taking place?
Is it because that “BLACK LIVES MATTER” slogan being screeched at us by the rioters and looters and the Al Sharptons of the world is really just a bunch of BULL**** to the black folks in America who spend their time killing each other as their national past time, because to them, black lives really don’t matter, at all?
Seems so to me, anyway.
How about you, Kathy Sheehan?
