The rank hypocrisy of the Regressive Industrial Complex (RIC), which includes such organizations as Black Lives Matter, Antifa, the Democratic Party, George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, NeverTrump “conservatives,” and their enablers in the mainstream media, is almost too much to take. Over the July fourth weekend there was a string of deaths involving black people, but no one is marching for them.
Secoriea Turner
Secoriea Turner, an eight-year-old black girl, was shot and killed Saturday by armed civilians blocking the entrance to a parking lot with illegally placed barricades. The parking lot is across the street from the Wendy’s restaurant that was torched following the death of Rayshard Brooks during a struggle there with police three weeks ago.
“Enough is enough,” Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said at a Sunday news conference.
“You shot and killed a baby. And there wasn’t just one shooter, there were at least two shooters,” Bottoms said. “If you want to be part of a solution and not the problem, you need to clear out the area.”
Everybody has to know where their line is, and now we know where the Democrat Mayor’s is: when a little black girl gets killed, then it’s “enough.” Up until then, the city was “negotiating” with armed protesters who were occupying the area around the Wendy’s instead of clearing them out.
Watching little Secoriea Turner’s parents at the press conference is sad. “‘They say black lives matter,’ Turner’s father said. ‘You killed your own. You killed your own this time. … They killed my baby because she crossed the barrier and made a U-turn. You killed a child. She didn’t do nothing to nobody.'”
Summer Taylor
Earlier on Saturday a car speeding down an empty freeway “that has been shut down for days due to the civil unrest” slammed into two Black Lives Matter protesters, killing one and critically injuring another. “Shut down for days,” you say? A freeway where “ongoing demonstrations have been occurring”? You mean, the authorities sanctioned this activity?
Following the episode, authorities cleared I-5 and warned protesters that anyone caught attempting to march on to the freeway will be arrested.
“The freeway is simply not a safe place … We feared something like this would happen,” Mead said.
In an ironic twist, the driver of the car was a 27-year-old black man and the two victims were white women supporting the Black Lives Matter protests. (I’ve linked the video below. Fair warning: it’s very hard to watch.)
In Seattle, run by far-left Democrat Mayor Jenny Durkan, enough is enough when someone is killed. This is the same mayor who characterized the breakaway republic of CHAZ/CHOP as a “summer of love.” That was before it became a murderous hellhole run by feral creatures.
In a grim twist, though, she was sort of right. The two protesters struck by the car were Summer Taylor and Diaz Love. “Durkan said the city stands beside the friends and family of the victims.” I’ll bet that’s a big comfort.
Natalia Wallace
Finally, in the city of Chicago, 79 people were shot, 15 fatally, including a 7-year-old girl who was visiting her grandmother.
“She was outside where kids were riding on bicycles when three gunmen stepped out of a car and let off more than 20 shots in the 100 block of North Latrobe Avenue, Chicago police said.
“Natalia died at the scene of a gunshot to her head, officials said. Police were reviewing video from the scene and have taken a person of interest in for questioning.”
So where are the protests over the killing of Secoriea Turner? How about righteous indignation and rage over Natalia Wallace’s murder?
And where is the outrage over a black man driving his car into a crowd of BLM protesters? If that driver had been a white male driving a white, late-model sports car, BLM and the media would amplify the crime for days as an example of white privilege and how blacks are targets of white supremacy.
Instead, there are no marches. There is no outrage. There is only sadness as the families of the victims come to grips with the senseless slaughter of innocents until those in authority decide, too late, that “enough is enough.”
