Nobody should be targeted. Police or citizens alike.
If people were really concerned about officer safety they wouldn't justify the death penalty as the appropriate punishment for resisting arrest
blue font implies sarcasm...
Still won't answer. Duly noted you sick .
N doubt, but obama needs to have a press conference and say that he's sending holder to investigate, just like he did when thugs got shot for attacking people in neighborhoods or cops.
go suck a big, black hard one
You sicken me.
Not just you, he sickens anyone with a brain. Too bad there's a bunch of far leftists on here that think this is good news.
you right-wingers, Repugs, Repugs voters, tea baggers, libertarians, gun fellators, bubbas, rednecks, racists, xenophobes, nativists, theocratic Bible humping Taliban, AGW deniers are already fatally toxic. And all of y'all Can'T Handle The Great Boutons Truths.
whats being lost in all this from the race baiting cop sympathizers, is this guy killed his girlfriend prior to shooting the cops. dude had mental health issues.
Scarborough On Giffords Shooting: ‘Is This Not A Time For People, Like Sarah Palin…To Apologize?’
My problem with jumping straight to the "rhetoric causes violence" canard is that it's usually a place inhabited by the Left. God knows, the last thing I want to be accused of is adopting liberal practices. Further, the ignorant finger-pointing by the Left always seems to turn out to be wrong, on closer inspection. Much of the high-profile violence, blamed on conservatives, actually comes from people in (at least) one of the following categories; mentally ill, left-wing ideologue, or militant Islamists. Cases in point?
- September 2009, Census-taker Bill Sparkman was found hanged in rural Kentucky. Media speculated it was the Tea Party. As was later determined, he committed suicide. Turns out, he was just trying to make his suicide look like murder for one of the age-old reasons -- insurance.
- February 2010, Joe Stack flew a small private plane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas. The media was quick to focus on anti-tax Tea Party rhetoric as being a possible cause. In fact, Joe Stack's own written diatribe drew from the Communist Manifesto. Several media outlets, in order to keep the narrative alive, simply scrubbed his references to the manifesto from their reporting.
- February 2010, Amy Bishop shoots colleagues at a University of Alabama faculty meeting. Gun-loving Tea Party influence is immediately suspected. Turns out, she was an Obama voter -- not exactly a Tea Party characteristic. In fact, it is now suspected the registered Democrat killed her brother a decade earlier and was suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts, over her failure to obtain tenure.
- March 2010, John Patrick Bedell shot two Pentagon security officers. "Right-wing extremist?," the media asked. Nope, a registered Democrat and 9/11 Truther. Go ahead, go type "John Patrick Bedell" into Google. The first suggested and, in my case, the only suggested search term is "john patrick bedell tea party." That's not deliberate malice by Google (regardless of my beliefs about their ideological bent) that the predictive algorithm based on how often his name has been associated with the Tea Party in searches. So desperate were searchers to associate the two, they taught Google to watch for it over all other search strings associated with Bedell.
- May 2010, a massive car bomb is discovered in Times Square. Mayor Bloomberg suggests it is the work of someone upset over the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Wrong; it was just a plain Jane (and thankfully incompetent) jihadist trying to earn his virgins. Mayor Bloombert, without any information about the bomber, at all, decides it's probably about Obamacare and no one in the media is curious enough about why to ask him.
- August 2010, during the controversy over the Ground Zero Mosque, a Muslim cab driver was stabbed in New York City. The media speculated over whether it could be a Right Wing nut job. Again, turns out to be a Left Wing nut job off his meds. And, as if it couldn't get any more ironic, the attacker turned out to be an art student working for the PR firm hired to promote the Ground Zero Mosque.
- September 2010, James Lee takes hostages at the headquarters of broadcast network Discovery Channel. Media jumps out in front to suggest he's some climate change denier. Turns out he was quite the opposite; a hard core environmentalist who hates humans and thinks they should be exterminated from the planet. This guy was a particularly virulent example of lefty insanity. Once convicted for smuggling illegal aliens into the United States, his manifesto suggested saving the planet by stopping humans from breeding any more disgusting human babies.
- January 2011, Jared Lee Loughner shoots Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, and several others, killing six and injuring over a dozen at a Giffords political event in Tucson, Arizona. As in my example above, the Tea Party and, in particular, Sarah Palin are blamed because of "Right Wing rhetoric."
- July 2012, James Holmes shoots up a theater in Aurora, Colorado. Brian Ross suggests he's a Tea Party member, on Live TV, based solely on the fact he was able to find a James Holmes associated with the Tea Party using a Google search where, it is speculated, he used a search term much like what Google suggests for Mr. Bedell (described above).
Then there are those that commit violence specifically in the name of Left Wing nutbaggery and the media remains silent...
- August 2012, Floyd Lee Corkins shoots up the Freedom Research Center, plucking them off the Southern Poverty Law Center's "target list." Media? ::crickets:: They begrudgingly covered the shooting itself but, were curiously quiet about Corkins' motive in targeting the FRC -- which explicitly said was based on the SPLC's target list.
- April 2013, The Tsarnaev brothers detonate two bombs at and near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Media suggests it could be a Right Wing nut job celebrating "Patriot's Day." Again, just more jihad perpetrated by Obama-voting jihadis. The Tsarnaev's had the whole ideological inventory of modern mass killers; Jihadists, leftists, and nutters.
Finally, the list wouldn't be complete without the revisionist history of the JFK assassination...
- October 2013, the Media retroactively blame Right Wingers for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy...never mind the known political association of Lee Harvey Oswald with communism.
The desire of the Media to pin violence on the right is so pervasive and persistent they are actually re-writing history to do it.
Extreme ideological rhetoric may contribute to a nut job, leftist, or jihadi's self-justification for their actions but, it's not usually the cause of premeditated violence. So, I've decided to be cautious about blaming Al Sharpton, et. al., for the murders of the two officers in New York City and the murder of the officer in Florida, less than a day later -- even though protesters around the country are calling for revenge and retribution -- crowds in New York were actually videotaped chanting, "What do we want? Dead Cops!" That's the playbook of the media and I'm going to try and not fall into that trap...because, it often times turns out wrong.
Don't get me wrong, I think Al Sharpton is a reprehensible human being; from Tawana Brawley to the Freddie's Fashion Mart to this sad episode in America's history, Al has been at the center of fomenting hatred and and unrest. He may, indeed, be culpable in the deaths of these two officers but, I'm not yet ready to declare that.
If it is true that Ismaaiyl Brinsley was motivated by rhetoric then that is a really big deal and blood truly is on a bunch of people's hands. But I don't know why he killed those police officers and neither do you, yet. We may never know definitively. Generally, however, rhetoric doesn't just set somebody off. I'm waiting for more facts.
I understand it was sarcasm. That doesn't make the equivalency any less disgusting. You weren't sarcastically comparing the two events you were sarcastically suggesting the police received different treatment for a similar crime when, in fact, that's not the case.
The only people that keep bringing up race are people like you or far left crazies like boutons, tbh.
Damn, going for head shots.
please Yoni don't hurt him too much
no, you keep trying to make this a race issue when all it is a sad tragedy started by man with mental health issues. stop trying to pull the race card
No, I'm not. I just want obama and holder to react to this situation the same way they reacted when some pussy got thugs got shot, tbh.
Apparently you didn't understand it at all. The sarcasm was in that there would be no doubt about his indictment considering what the OP posted and the execution style murder.
Not surprising it flew way above your head though.
sally dropping truth nukes on the race baiters
correction on my previous post. his girlfriend is still alive in critical condition, praying that she pulls through.
So did the news of these two officers being killed make you happy, yes or no?And all of y'all Can'T Handle The Great Boutons Truths.
