They could use a copy editor to check for concept integrity. From the question of ‘why aren’t we calling these riots?’;
“ As we’ve seen in cities around the country this summer, protest participants and the activities surrounding them often change throughout the day and night. Peaceful protests can happen all day long and then fires can be set or violence occurs late at night by people not associated with the protesters. Would it be fair or accurate to label all that happened that day a “riot” — especially in a headline summing things up? We don’t think so.
And there are historical racial overtones in the use of that word in America.
As Dorothy Tucker, president of the National Association of Black Journalists, said on the PBS NewsHour in June, “There is concern that it is automatically labeled as a riot if it is African-Americans who are protesting, but it's not labeled as a riot when you see the same kind of destruction after a concert or after a sporting event. So there are words that have that association.””
So it’s a lot of white people there, and they’ll observe the rule until more back people show up? But then it will be racist? Pretzel logic seems the rule. These people are good at it.
Being raised by helicopter parents and display cases bulging with participation trophies, all these children are heroes. They are sterling examples of the bestest of humanity. They're all ten foot tall & bulletproof.... oops, scratch that last one!
My cousin's kid is the alleged Provo shooter and his web page reads much the same. Of course in his case the force of evil was some guy in a SUV. Truth, justice, and the American way was, again, the mob in the street.
Not gonna follow the link as I read this story elsewhere this weekend. This story is complete and utter bullshit.

DeleteRemember, these are the same idiots that say only whites can be racist.
All three turds that got sanitized were white.

ReplyDelete* How many think it is time for some 'mostly peaceful' discussions with the Friends Of Soros?
Don't break into small groups, don't discuss.
Total disconnect from reality. But this is how many are now. And what's a 26-year old doing with a skateboard? He deserved a bullet just for that.
