Insanity has come to Washington, DC. On Wednesday Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, made the following statement after the guilty verdicts were returned in Minneapolis.
“Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice. For being there to call out to your mom, how heartbreaking was that. And because of you … your name will always be synonymous with justice.”
This woman is fast losing her faculties. On what planet did George Floyd sacrifice his life? As noted yesterday, the facts of the case clearly showed that Floyd died of a drug overdose. The toxicology report in the autopsy was unequivocal. Floyd had a three-fold fatal level of fentanyl in his system. Floyd ingested the drugs to avoid their discovery by the police. George Floyd is dead because of George Floyd, no one else.
This is truly Orwellian. Evil is now good. Good is now evil. Those who are in charge of our government now have the power to define the meaning of words. Ingesting drugs and dying of a drug overdose is now sacrificing your life for justice. In the words of CNN, yes, CNN, this is just bizarre.
Pelosi’s last sentence isn’t much better. While it is the usual claptrap that a politician would engage in, the fact is that history will note that Floyd’s name is associated with a grievous miscarriage of justice. The left managed to get a guilty verdict by making it obvious to the jurors that their very lives and homes were at risk if they failed to convict. This was mob rule plain and simple.
The Democrats have long engaged in this kind of racial politics. It was a mainstay of the Obama administration. The strategy is to divide the public so that eventually enough of the public will acquiesce to the communists taking over and bringing “peace” to the country.
This strategy was front and center on Wednesday after the shooting death of Ma’Khia Bryant in Columbus, Ohio. Bryant, a 16-year-old black girl, attacked two other unarmed teenage girls, one black and one white, with a knife. A responding officer shot and killed Bryant as she attempted to stab one of the girls.
Columbus police released bodycam video footage of the attack.
The White House and Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s spokesperson, released statements about the tragic event.
These statements are ridiculous. “She was a child.” Bryant is no more a child than Trayvon Martin was a child despite the media’s attempt to portray him as such. This statement is just trying to garner sympathy. She was 16. She was a teenager. She was hellbent on trying to kill another teenage girl. What does the fact that she is not yet officially an adult have to do with anything? The White House is trying to create a narrative that the police overreacted to the situation because the attacker was a black child. Not true. The girl had an adult body. The color of her skin was immaterial to the situation at hand. What was the officer supposed to do? Wait until Bryant slit the other girl’s throat? Or plunged the knife into her chest?
Jarrett’s statement was even worse. Jarrett is trying to portray the cop as trigger happy. This was no knife fight. To have a knife fight at least two people need to be brandishing knives. This was not a situation where two girls were stalking each other. If that had been the case, there might have been time to try to deescalate the situation. If the officer had not acted swiftly, the girl in pink might be in the morgue now.
As Sundance notes:
This is sociopathic level political manipulation by the Obama Chicago crew; the real team behind the administration. Continuing to push the ‘anger games’ in the United States is an ongoing effort of the Obama-minded leftists and communist activist groups who support them.
Obama doesn’t care, he doesn’t even hang out with black people, so long as the larger goals are achieved.
The Chicago crew want to advance radical leftist policies, destroy the American capitalistic system and fundamentally change the United States by diminishing it; while simultaneously keeping all the wealth under the control of an elite group of aligned interests.
Was this a tragedy? Absolutely! The tragedy was that the officer had to take a life in order to save a life. That’s reality. The officer did his job.
