No Lives Matter (Unless Democrats Can Exploit Them)
George Floyd was a saint, probably better than you could ever even imagine being, a wonderful father, and was murdered by police because he was black. OK, none of that is true. George Floyd was a junkie criminal who died of a drug overdose in police custody, and the best thing he ever did for his daughter was live far away from her so she didn’t have to see her addict, criminal father steal her toys to sell for drugs. Which version do you believe says everything about your politics? If it’s the latter, you’re likely a conservative; if it’s the former, you’re probably an idiot.
On whichever side you fall, the reality is that Floyd’s death was a political opportunity of a generation for the Democrats. If you cut out the drugs and the passing off of counterfeit money, the violence, and all the other crimes, you have a wonderful man there. Of course, George was not a wonderful man; he was a bad one who died because he took too many drugs and didn’t tell the police who were arresting him that he had ingested them. It’s pretty simple.
Now he’s a mural, an abstract idea where Democrats project only good thoughts and ideals onto, ignoring the reality that they’d call the police themselves if they’d seen him walking down the street in their neighborhood. For all the “Black Lives Matter” talk, if any of those people raising money or virtue signaling off his memory had given a single damn about him while he had a life to matter, he likely wouldn’t have died of an overdose.
Hell, if any of those liberals cared beyond Floyd being a weapon, he may well have been a productive member of society who could live with, or at least near, his daughter.
Iryna Zarutska was a productive member of society, as much as any 23-year-old can be. If a junkie’s life, after decades of bad, deliberate choices, mattered, Iryna’s life mattered too. Even more.
But you aren’t allowed to say that. Left-wing media outlets lined up staff to tattoo George Floyd’s likeness on their lower backs, but couldn’t bring themselves to mention Zarutska because of her skin color. While attractive white girls being murdered usually lead to wall-to-wall coverage by the media, if the perpetrator is black, it doesn’t rate at all. It’s not that it doesn’t fit the liberal narrative; it’s that it is the exact opposite of the narrative.
The reality is it is far more common for people of any color to be victims of crime by people who look like they do. But when you move outside that truth, the data becomes wildly inconvenient for Democrats and the narrative of victimhood and racism they pretend is real life. Anything that reflects that reality is ignored; it has to be.
Euphemisms are tossed around like “teens” to describe a mob beating people or looting, but don’t ever expect to solve a problem if you can’t explain it. Now, news stories are omitting any description of suspects, making informing the public to be on the lookout for “a human” the new norm. What could go wrong?
You only let things get to this point if sane, rational actions are counter to your best interests, and they are to Democrats. There is no circumstance under which truth or reality favors Democrats.
Illinois Governor Fat Bastard, JB Pritzker, is all over liberal networks (too scared to talk to the other half of the country) insisting “crime is worse in red states!” He doesn’t have to worry about it being pointed out that the states of Tennessee and Missouri are, in fact, red, but Memphis and St. Louis, for example, are deep blue and have been run for the entirety of the walking cholesterol Governor’s life by members of his own party.
Facts don’t matter to the left any more than the lives of any configuration of human beings do.
The whole “Black Lives Matter” was a brilliant marketing scheme – a real estate play that paid off well for anyone lucky enough to suckle at the teat of corporate America. The milk is gone, but mentality is not. Now, however, the emperor has no clothes – people not only aren’t falling for it anymore, they aren’t interested in the concept. Black Chicagoans are sick of attending funerals that Democrat politicians use as sets for campaign speeches. And all Americans can look at the murder of a white girl as the horror it is, while being sickened by the idea that a mentally defective monster with a violent arrest record longer than Pritzker’s belt was on the streets to do it.
We need a new accountability in America, where politicians feel the wrath of their poisonous policy prescriptions and judges face consequences for their political rulings. There is a large enough body of evidence to show these are not unintended consequences, but the end and obvious result of deliberate actions with indifference toward the outcomes. Voters need to be protected not only from rabid thugs and mentally defective sociopaths, but from the political and prosecutorial class that empowers them.
