police – Don Boys https://donboys.cstnews.com Common Sense for Today Sun, 05 Mar 2023 04:46:50 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.6.29 Former Officer Derek Chauvin Will Get a Fair Trial Then to the Hanging Tree! https://donboys.cstnews.com/former-officer-derek-chauvin-will-get-a-fair-trial-then-to-the-hanging-tree https://donboys.cstnews.com/former-officer-derek-chauvin-will-get-a-fair-trial-then-to-the-hanging-tree#respond Sun, 04 Apr 2021 20:41:41 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=2821 It is not usually wise to prejudge a trial, but I’m convinced Derek Chauvin is like the suspect who asked Judge Roy Bean, “are you going to give me a fair trial?” The Judge, also a saloon keeper and known as “The Only Law West of the Pecos,” said, “Yeah, we’ll give you a fair trial, then we’re gonna hang you.” The judicial system in Minneapolis is almost equivalent to Judge Bean’s justice. I’m convinced the judicial system in Minneapolis is determined to go through the formalities of a fair trial then on to the hanging tree for Chauvin.

Like most people who first viewed the arrest and death of Floyd, I quickly responded in horror at the apparent mistreatment by the police. I wrote at the time, “Americans have been awakened, agitated, angered, and appalled at the killing of Floyd, and that includes me. I’m appalled that everyone has been so quick to make a judgment without knowing all the facts. Yes, it looks bad, very bad, but I want to know the whole story. No one has suggested that everyone involved could be wrong! Floyd, the four cops, even the bystanders who were too intimidated to physically confront the police.

“I’m appalled that innocent, legal protesting of whites and blacks became an excuse to burn, loot, and destroy over 300 stores, thereby destroying the jobs of innocent people. It is obvious that it is not a skin problem but a sin problem.”

Following Floyd’s death, radical lowlifes used protesting to excuse looting, hooliganism, rioting, burning, and killing while officials did nothing to facilitate their imprisonment for decades.

However, today a white man is being lynched in Minneapolis for doing his job as he was trained to do it. He is being lynched because he is white, and everyone seems to think whiteness equals evil, slavery, oppression, duplicity, anger, bigotry, etc. So, even if Chauvin didn’t actually kill Floyd, he deserves to die seems to be the consensus of the radical rabble.

He is being lynched because he was a police officer, and it is commonly believed that white cops go to work every day looking for a black man to shoot. It doesn’t seem to matter to officials and the public that it seems almost always the black “victim” is a felon, a drug addict, committing a crime, or resisting arrest.

Between 1997 and 2007, police in Texas arrested Floyd a total of nine times; he got five years in the slammer for home invasion and putting a gun in the abdomen of a pregnant woman in front of her child. He took money and jewelry to purchase drugs.

After Floyd’s death, police found 274 pills inside his car, along with 18 grams of cocaine and 3 grams of rock cocaine. Furthermore, Floyd admitted to snorting Oxycodone daily and had been addicted for 5 years.

When Floyd died, he had 3 times the fentanyl that would kill a healthy man, and the chief medical officer Andrew Baker announced, “The autopsy revealed no physical evidence suggesting that Mr. Floyd died of asphyxiation.”

Then why is there a trial if there was no crime? Floyd is dead because he resisted arrest after gulping illegal drugs. Chauvin lost his job, family (his beauty queen wife divorced him days after his arrest and changed her name), and reputation—all for working while white (WWW).

But what about “I can’t breathe”? It was not the knee on his neck that killed him but the illegal drugs. One of the primary symptoms of fentanyl overdoses—is “slowed or stopped breathing,” leading to unconsciousness and death. Floyd complained about not breathing before the officer kneed him, as the video clearly shows.

We are told that the defense is trying to blame the victim, but there are other victims. The store where Floyd attempted to pass a counterfeit $20 bill is a victim. The police who were trying to enforce the law and have now lost everything are victims. The families of the police officers are innocent victims. The many business owners who had their businesses looted and burned to the ground are victims. The innocent taxpayers of Minneapolis who have to pay for the arrest, trial, and possible incarceration are victims. The taxpayers, who will have to pay for the repair of destroyed streets, buildings, etc., are victims. The innocent citizens of the city are victims because they lost protection after the far left disrupted, destabilized, and defunded the police; therefore, victims could not get immediate help following 6,776 calls to 911 for rape, murder, and violent crimes.

The alleged victim is dead because he refused for 20 minutes to obey the police and because his body was full of illegal drugs. Floyd did not deserve any mistreatment, but he killed himself. And his family just received a payoff of $27 million from taxpayers of Minneapolis because police officers did what they had to do to keep law and order. Additionally, the family gets $15 million from a GoFundMe page that stupid and gullible people funded.

That’s not a bad payment for a serial felon who also had four televised funerals, a gold coffin, a procession with white horses pulling a white carriage, and his photo enhanced with a halo and angel wings. The usual high-profile suspects at the funeral included Al Green, Shelia Jackson Lee, Joe Biden (video), Al Sharpton, and other so-called civil rights leaders.

I’m appalled that civil rights leaders take advantage of every shooting, fair or unfair, of a black person. Such losers as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Louis Farrakhan have built financial empires on the backs of poor, gullible blacks. And the media and others sit down with such leaders and treat them as successful celebrities when I think they are only a notch under the mafia.

Of course, none of Floyd’s offenses deserved the death penalty. Nor does his death make him a hero. And for sure, not a saint.

I’m appalled at seeing police officials, even a couple of chiefs, FBI agents, U.S. military, and politicians abasing themselves in support of the protesters. They were not grieving but groveling to BLM hooligans. And it’s appalling to hear them reject and ridicule All Lives Matter in favor of Black Lives Matter.

Al Sharpton preached the Houston funeral wearing black rubber gloves, a white robe representing “purity and virtuousness” with three black chevrons on the sleeves representing doctorial accomplishment. Al might know how to spell virtue, but he doesn’t know the meaning from personal experience. He married in 1980, separated in 2004, and had a longtime relationship with a much younger woman whom he married about a year ago. And the three black stripes are the closest Al will ever get to an earned doctorate since he never finished college.

He calls himself a Baptist but for sure, not the kind of Baptists with whom I run.

After comparing George Floyd to Jesus at Floyd’s funeral, Reverend William Lawson said, “The next thing we need to do is clean out the White House.” Sounds like a political rally, not a funeral.

On a business wall along one street was a massive likeness of Floyd with large white wings and an impressive halo. Both inaccurate and blasphemous. Even if all the excessive accolades about Floyd were true, he did not qualify as an angel; besides, dead people, even godly people, don’t become angels.

Additionally, angels don’t have wings. Nor do the dead have halos.

Near the likeness of Floyd were the words “Big Floyd.” Interestingly, Floyd was a porn star known by that name, but it is sacrilegious to mention that truth. Another large photo of Floyd had him wearing a white hat with a scale of justice on the front and “I can’t breathe” on the side. Of course, there was a large halo over his head.

The raised Communist-Black Power clenched fist was common during the funerals.

It is nauseating how Floyd’s family, friends, and fools in the media have presented him to the public. He was not a good man, as his former “partner” and mother of his six-year-old daughter said. Roxie Washington was Floyd’s “former partner” who bore his six-year-old daughter, Gianna. At a press conference, when Gianna was asked how her dad’s death has affected her said, “I miss him.” The mother and former live-in girlfriend said, “He was good, and this (pointing to his daughter) is proof he was good.” No, an illegitimate child is not “good.” She is a sweet little girl who is totally innocent and too young to know she is being used by everyone.

Quincy Mason, Floyd’s 21-year-old son (I don’t understand that), last saw his father when he was five years old, yet the race-baiters like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and attorney Ben Crumb appear to be using Quincy as a prop. In a Minneapolis news conference, Ben clearly was telling Quincy what to say. Quincy had not seen his father since he was 5 years old and didn’t know Floyd or recognize his televised photo when he died.

News reports revealed that Floyd has a 22-year-old daughter “from a previous relationship.”

Courtney Ross (married mother of two) is the girlfriend of Floyd living in Minneapolis. She said they “had been together for three years before his death.” On CNN, she described him as an “angel on earth.”

None of the many news reports reveal anything about marriages, just many “relationships,” “partners,” “girlfriend,” etc., so Floyd was a serial fornicator, child producer, serial felon, and drug addict. It is considered unwise, unfair, even unchristian to speak ill of the dead, but it is distortion, dishonest, and devious to do a complete makeover of a very wicked person. This has been expertly crafted to fit the far-left agenda to produce money and motive for revolution.

Mayor of Minneapolis Frey said Floyd was killed because he is black. No, he was killed because he resisted arrest and had filled his body with illegal drugs.

We have been told the color of your skin determines how you are treated in America—one law for Whites, another for Blacks. Floyd was every black; Chauvin was every cop. The Minneapolis trial is putting America on trial. If he is found not guilty, there will be massive disruption, destruction, and deaths—all planned by BLM, Antifa, and other anti-American forces.

Revolution is coming.

Van Jones told CNN if Chauvin isn’t convicted, “it will be perceived as open season telling cops they can literally get away with murder in broad daylight.” He added, “The system is on trial here,” but a system is not on trial. The far left is making the trial, like everything else, a matter of race. If they don’t get their way, that is a reason for the lowlifes to loot, burn, destroy, and even kill.

Cicero warned “that we do not recklessly and presumptuously assume something to be true.” Most Americas, always giving the benefit of a doubt to the underdog, want to believe the Floyd narrative pitched by those in line to gain from his trial. But in doing so, we believe a lie. It seems the truth does not matter anymore.

The left could have chosen a better candidate than Floyd to be their cause célèbre but it is working—an innocent, although possibly aggressive police officer is being sacrificed to the gods of leftist extremism.

If perchance Chauvin is found not guilty, there will be massive riots since the left takes advantage of every crisis, and many innocent people will die—including jurors. If he is found guilty, many innocent people will die since the leftist mob will be empowered to further push the leftist agenda.

Roman Catholic priest Thomas Aquinas wrote, “He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.”

As the world watches, a police officer is about to be lynched (east of the Pecos) for trying to apprehend a resisting felon, and all decent people should be angry.

Weak, Wimpy, Whiny Preachers are Wrong–Franklin Graham is Right! https://donboys.cstnews.com/weak-wimpy-whiny-preachers-are-wrong-franklin-graham-is-right https://donboys.cstnews.com/weak-wimpy-whiny-preachers-are-wrong-franklin-graham-is-right#comments Wed, 25 Mar 2015 18:24:22 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=1057 Jim Wallis and his pathetic passel of political parsons want Franklin Graham’s scalp and they prefer to take it with a meat cleaver. This week, a cadre of careless, critical, and caustic far left preachers (like trained seals) attacked Graham for uttering common sense relating to the treatment of Blacks by Police officers. Graham wrote, “Listen up–Blacks, Whites, Latinos, and everybody else. Most police shootings can be avoided. It comes down to respect for authority and obedience. If a police officer tells you to stop, you stop. If a police officer tells you to put your hands in the air, you put your hands in the air.” He went on to remind parents to teach their children to obey authority. But then, it doesn’t take much training for even someone with an IQ equivalent to his ring size to know that you don’t fight a man with a gun!

What sane person would disagree with such good advice? Note that the worthy advice was sent to everyone; however, Jim Wallis of Sojourners took exception. Jim thought Graham was racist and heartless. Jim parades as an evangelical, having discarded the rags of his fundamentalist past, but he is really a spokesman for the left. It is embarrassing to mention it but far left billionaire George Soros gave Jim’s nonprofit group $200,000! Jim denied it on a talk show but later had to backtrack and admitted the sullied but substantial gift.

Speaking of generous, Jim, who was Marxist in his youth (now, only a socialist), is paid $218,000 per year for his efforts in laying guilt on middle class whites for the condition and treatment of Blacks. He tries to identify with common people but the average American makes $50,000 per year; so, Jim, you ain’t one of us.

In reality Jim is the liberal white man’s Al Sharpton although Jim reads a teleprompter better than Al. Jim and his motley crew of leftist clergymen didn’t like Graham’s suggestion that maybe parents could do a better job in rearing their offspring. Duh, is that in question?

The Sojourners crowd thinks of Jesus as a skinny dude wearing sandals, hair to his shoulders, drinking a bottle of Perrier water while he signs up unregistered voters for Democrats. Informed people know that Christ came to die for our sins thereby changing the way we live and providing a home in Heaven rather than Hell. Christ was more concerned about people than problems. Social Gospelers like Jim are more concerned about the environment than they are about eternity. Just as the social gospel failed in the early 20th century so it is failing today.

Wallis and his sycophants responded to Graham’s advice by thrusting a rusty dagger into his back. Many famous leftist evangelicals signed onto the response and rebuke of Graham. The pompous blowhards mentioned Graham’s “outsized influence coupled with apparent ignorance.” There, isn’t that gracious and broadminded and really tolerant? They continued in their self-righteous rant with “We will not tolerate this type of flippant, patronizing commentary from faith leaders on critical issues that mean life and death for many in the body of Christ and in communities across America. We won’t tolerate it, even one more day.” Who do these guys think they are? They have as much power as a 40 watt bulb. What can they do but tolerate it and send out press releases and a few tweets.

In their open letter to Graham, they told him he had “sinned against” them and his statement had “hurt and influenced thousands.” He was accused of being “crude, insensitive, and paternalistic” and had “oversimplified” the situation. However, Graham had simply said that young people should be taught to obey police officers and never resist; that way they will stay alive. Sounds very simple and it would have been better for everyone (except the race baiters) if his advice had been followed in the Brown case.

Most youth are not the most astute thinkers but I remind them that when they have a problem with a cop, they must understand that he has a billy club, handcuffs, a couple of guns, mace, and a radio that can bring a swarm of cop cars into the neighborhood in minutes. I think Graham gave some practical advice.

Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown are at the center of this discussion and when all relevant facts are acknowledged and one puts aside his terror of condemning black parents, then of course, they failed. It is not necessary to repeat the unsavory record of each young man. Nor is it necessary to prove that had they followed Graham’s advice, they would still be alive as would some protestors; and others would not have been bankrupted by “peaceful” protestors.

Wallis reaches way back for Jim Crow and for plantation owners for help in his effort to take down Graham. But those terrible episodes have nothing to do with young Black thugs who “feel their oats” and defy police instructions. If it turns out that the police are wrong then they can file a complaint and a whole bevy of civil rights attorneys will line up to take their cases and get justice–and a potful of money for everyone.

Graham’s critics brought up “mass incarceration and criminalization,” but they would have been wiser not to call attention to that. Permit me to elucidate. Homicide is the leading cause of deaths among black men in U.S. and 90% of the killers are also black. Between 1976 and 2005 Blacks committed more than half of all murders in the U.S. with only about 13% of the population. In cities under black rule (mayors and often police chiefs) such as Cleveland, Washington, New Orleans, Atlanta, Memphis, Newark, Richmond, Detroit, and Philadelphia corruption, crime, and chaos are common. Blacks often complain about the drug laws putting so many blacks in prison but Black politicians in DC led the effort to pass those laws. Blacks yell about “over-policing” yet that’s where the 911 calls come from!

The holy reverends really ran off the rails when they wrote: “Your blanket insistence on obedience in every situation exposes an ignorance of church history.” But Graham did not say or imply such a thing. There are times when Christians must disobey some unjust laws. I would not always obey without question if I’m stopped for giving gospel literature on the street, etc., but if an officer pulls his gun, I’ll back off, file a complaint, have my day in court and collect a hundred thousand from the government. And continue my Christian activity.

The epistle from the holy reverends even compared the protestors in Ferguson to principled Christians in the past who paid with their lives to stand true to the Gospel. That is a deceitful, disgraceful, and despicable comparison.

Wallis, in his youth, danced with glee when he heard that the U.S. had lost the war in Vietnam; and he and his parson pals can’t hold Graham’s coat with respect to work with the diseased, desperate, and depressed people of the world. Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse has been helping mostly black people around the world for 40 years and he has hugged and helped thousands of Blacks while Wallis shakes the hand of “oppressed” Blacks saying, “I feel your pain.”

And for Jim Wallis to accuse Graham–with his Samaritan’s Purse– of being unkind, uncaring, and unthoughtful is like a skunk accusing a rabbit of having bad breath!

Deal Harshly With Brutal Cops! https://donboys.cstnews.com/deal-harshly-with-brutal-cops https://donboys.cstnews.com/deal-harshly-with-brutal-cops#respond Tue, 30 Dec 2014 03:42:22 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=985 I have no problem obeying a police officer whether he is white or black although I will admit that I resent being told what to do by a female officer. I think females should not be in such a dangerous position as police work, military, etc. No doubt that may be a holdover from past generations who thought that a nation or city is not worth defending if the men are so cowardly that women must do the defending. However, when anyone is given authority then everyone should obey that authority with only a few exceptions.

However, my main reason for obedience is my respect for authority–authority that basically comes from God. But no authority except God deserves unqualified obedience.

Many of my critics will consider me a chauvinist because of my position on female officers but they fail to deal with the issue. It’s happened scores of times in public debates, television and radio talk shows, and in the political area: I am accused of being a chauvinist or racist. When that happens, I relax, smile, and know that I am winning the argument. My accusers are usually not too bright but they have learned that it is easier to make accusations than to provide answers.

Since I know myself better than anyone else does, I can declare that I don’t hate anyone, envy anyone, or fear anyone. However, I do have strong opinions about women, Muslims, homosexuals, corrupt politicians (Republican and Democrat), free loaders (Black and White), and cops (good and bad).

Full disclosure: my number one son-in-law is a retired Florida deputy sheriff and his son is now serving with that department. I give the benefit of the doubt to the cops who serve with much courage for little cash. Their lives are at risk every day as they deal with thieves, killers, and maniacs putting the officers in a place where they must make split-second decisions. In those circumstances there should be some patience and understanding even when an officer makes a bad decision; however, he or she must be held accountable.

With that said, I find some police officers to be despicable people! Too many are poorly trained and emotionally unqualified to have a badge and gun. Too many homicidal cops get their jollies when they abuse their authority and terrorize innocent people. They are almost always child and wife abusers. They are in another category from the officer who makes a mistake, even a bad mistake.

I go for decades without losing my temper. In fact, I don’t think my four children ever saw me angry. I almost lost control maybe 20 years ago with a cop in Lake City, Florida. We were there to do a Christian Couples’ Conference at a local Baptist Church and I pulled in front of the post office to permit Ellen to exit and mail a card to a grandchild. There was a “No Parking” sign but I wasn’t parking. I was “standing.” And it would only take a few minutes.

While sitting there with my engine running a burly white police officer told me to move as he pointed to the “No Parking” sign. I kindly replied that I was not parking but standing and it would be safer for me to wait a few minutes than to drive around the parking lot until my wife was finished. Evidently he did not agree with my interpretation of “parking” and “standing” and he lost control as his face flushed red and was contorted. He cursed and menacingly moved toward me as I began to feel anger welling up from the tip of my toes to the top of my head. I jerked my car into gear and pulled away giving him a “not-too-Christian” look.

That officer was not only a jerk but he was a dangerous jerk. Since he was a public servant and there was no emergency, he could have patiently told me that there was no difference in parking and standing and for me to move my car. I assumed he took my slowness to obey as a challenge to his authority. Of course, my unchristian reaction was not his fault but mine.

A few weeks ago a Texas cop stopped a 76-year-old man for not displaying an emission sticker on his vehicle; however, the cop was wrong and obviously did not know that his dealers’ plates were exempt from such stickers. The officer told the man to get out of his car and tasered him twice knocking him to the ground. It was bad until some knowledgeable officers arrived on the scene and regained control. Both men were white.

Such irresponsible, dangerous officers should be fired, not fined or suspended. They do not deserve a second chance; however, the police union is almost as strong as the teachers’ union. It is good to have a group with money and power to defend honest and sincere teachers and law enforcement personnel but when either one proves by their behavior that they are irresponsible, they should be fired. In fact, the union should insist they be fired but that won’t happen until pigs learn to fly.

We must respect those in authority and obey them unless some official orders us to disobey some Bible principle. Obviously, there was no such principle in my experience.

Fire all brutal cops or at least keep them off the streets; but I, for sure, don’t want to live in a city without police protection.

Fire the bad guys and give the good guys a huge raise accompanied with an abundance of admiration, appreciation, and allegiance. I give that to all police officers until their actions prove they deserve disdain, disrespect, and dismissal!

Meanwhile, I haven’t gone back to Lake City since I had my confrontation with a big, bad, bully with a badge–and gun!

Black Men Killed by White Cops–Epidemic? https://donboys.cstnews.com/black-men-killed-by-white-cops-epidemic https://donboys.cstnews.com/black-men-killed-by-white-cops-epidemic#respond Tue, 09 Dec 2014 03:08:15 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=964 The Blacks-Are-Always-Victims crowd and the Cops-Are-Always-Right crowd are not going to agree with me today. Events are not always so definitive that they can be placed into an existing slot so I’ll make my own slot. Every person must be held accountable for his or her actions, white and black and the time for excuses, rationalizations, and blame should be over. I detest cops who abuse their authority and push anyone around as I detest others who resist and taunt and curse those who risk their lives every day to protect the young, the elderly, and the innocent.

Another black man has been killed during an altercation with white police. The death of anyone is tragic since it is permanent, but it is worse if it is unnecessary and much worse if it was premeditated. The basic facts of the Eric Garner death: Garner, a 43 year-old black man died in an altercation with white cop Daniel Pantaleo for selling untaxed, loose cigarettes. Up front, it is nauseating that a man would die because of such a petty crime. But we must look at the full story to make a decision as to where to place our anger and blame and what action to take.

Black businessmen complained to cops about Garner selling cigarettes outside their stores and his arrest was ordered by a black cop, and supervised by a black female officer. Moreover, the police officers were acting under orders issued a few days earlier by Philip Banks, New York City Chief of Police (and a Black) to “crack down” on the selling of loose, untaxed cigarettes.

While Garner’s record had little or nothing to do with his death, it does put it in perspective to know he had been arrested 31 times for assault, grand larceny, marijuana possession, driving without a license, false impersonation, and selling untaxed tobacco (eight times). He feigned surprise when he was accosted for selling loose, untaxed cigarettes! He was not a Sunday school teacher at Bethel Baptist Church where his funeral was held.

There were five police officers present so Garner was a fool to resist and the police officers should have had little trouble arresting him. It seems that Garner was not violent so it appears that at least poor judgment was used by the arresting officers but poor judgment does not equal systemic racism in the police department.

Garner should not have died and there is no proof that Officer Pantaleo intended to cause his death. In fact, does any honest person, knowing the facts, believe that the officer would have done anything differently if Garner had been lily white? I maintain that it is racism (and terribly unfair) to suggest that possibility.

Garner died because he was fat (350 pounds, some reported 400 pounds), six feet four inches tall, in poor health, and resisted arrest. If he had not been breaking the law, even a trivial law, he would still be alive. If he had obeyed the officers he would still be alive. If he had not resisted arrest, he would still be alive. But some will say that the officers used excessive force but what is excessive force? Should the police have disobeyed orders and smiled at his crime? Yes, a silly law, but what about other laws? He did not die for selling untaxed cigarettes but for resisting a lawful order.

If progressive Whites and Blacks continue this crusade against police we are going to see mass resignations of police officers and/or refusal to do their duty. A police officer must perform his or her job as per their training and should never have to wonder, “If I do what is necessary to arrest this person, will I lose my job, my reputation, my retirement, my home, and maybe my freedom?”

Since we cannot look into the mind of Officer Pantaleo we cannot be sure that he did not use excessive force, but even so, no one can charge intent to harm. Pantaleo was doing his job even if we think he was enforcing a stupid regulation but he believed he had to subdue Garner in order to arrest him. That was his job. Since no one can prove harmful intent, the grand jury could not find him guilty.

Professor Eugene O’Donnell of the John Jay Criminal College of Criminal Justice wrote in The New York Daily News: “As a practical matter — on the basis of past cases — the grand jury would likely indict only if it found malice or some intention to hurt Mr. Garner or that a gross disregard for Mr. Garner’s well-being is what created the tragic ending during this routine arrest. Finding that the officer was careless or that the arrest was bungled will not rise to the level of a crime.” Therefore, there could be no indictment by the grand jury.

Even if the grand jury was wrong, it does not mean that racism was a motivating factor. Even Garner’s own daughter told CNN that it was not racism but police abuse. Moreover, 14 of the 23 grand jury members were white, the rest were black or Hispanic.

Everyone seems to be talking about the “illegal chokehold” the officer is accused of using; however, the “chokehold” was not illegal, only banned by the New York Police department. Furthermore, some experts say that it was not a “chokehold” but a permissible submission hold taught to him at the police academy. And the autopsy declared that there was no harm to Garner’s windpipe or neck bones. He would have lived had he not been in poor health and resisted arrest.

In light of the above facts, irresponsible officials rushed in where even fools know better and declared this to be another example of a racist cop killing an unarmed Black man and a grand jury (with 9 non-Whites) refusing to indict the officer. After hearing the evidence the jury thought that the officer did not use excessive force and acted legally in carrying out his duties as he had sworn to do. Yet Eric Holder announced that the Department of Justice will conduct a civil rights investigation into the case. For sure, I would refuse to sit on a grand jury if I knew honest work I would do for very little remuneration would put me in the sights of federal jackboots.

The medical examiner determined that Garner’s death was a homicide but a homicide is not murder. Homicide simply means death at the hands of another person. He did declare that the “chokehold” contributed to Garner’s death. Of course it did. So did the fact he was fat and sick.

Do black leaders really believe that white police officers go to work each day with the intent to kill a black man? If so, they are prime candidates for a psycho ward. About 100 Blacks are killed by white officers each year but 300 Whites are killed by police during that time! Fact: more black men get into trouble with the law because they break the law far more than white men, but that’s another article. And writing it makes me a racist!

No, there is no epidemic of white cops killing black men but a case can be made for an epidemic of black men killing white men. But I suppose to make that factual case is an indication of racism! However, there is an epidemic of irresponsible black men rejecting education, refusing to work, resisting arrests, and repudiating marriage but producing numerous babies.

After doing their job of stirring the racist pot in Ferguson, the racists (black and white) again came out of the woodwork to denounce racism in the New York case when there is no support for such a claim. The president spoke of “concern on the part of too many minority communities that law enforcement is not working with them and dealing with them in a fair way.” Mayor De Blasio called for “action” suggesting that the incident represented the culmination of “centuries of racism.”

To think they killed a tree to print such tripe! The Garner incident is proof of an epidemic of generations of disrespect for authority, disobedience to the Scripture, and deterioration of the family. That’s what Blacks and Whites need to work on!

Ferguson Fiasco: Rebellion, Riot, Revolution! https://donboys.cstnews.com/ferguson-fiasco-rebellion-riot-revolution https://donboys.cstnews.com/ferguson-fiasco-rebellion-riot-revolution#respond Mon, 01 Dec 2014 20:13:46 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=957 The Ferguson Fiasco was not simply a rebellion of decent citizens who wanted to protest what they saw as injustice (there were those people) nor was it rioting of overwrought people, but is an attempted revolution committed by angry anarchists who utilized Mike Brown’s unfortunate death as cover. Of course their attempted subterfuge deceives only the uneducated, the unsophisticated, and the unthinking. The perpetrators should spend 20 years at hard labor after a swift trial. That was hard labor.

Michael Brown, who developed thugery to perfection, was killed by Officer Darren Wilson. One was a knight, the other was a knave. One was a hero, the other a zero. For honest people, there is no question that the right person died that day although no one had to die. It was not a “death-by-cop” but death-by-choice, Mike’s choice.

Does anyone believe that radical leftists would be so involved, so incensed, or so irrational if both men had been black? Obviously, they would not because they don’t care about the many Blacks that kill other Blacks every day in Chicago and other cities. On that issue, the race baiters are silent. It doesn’t fit their agenda.

Mike would be alive if he had not been high on marijuana and robbed a store only 15 minutes before he was lawfully accosted by the officer. Maybe the drug was the cause of his refusal to obey the reasonable and lawful order to stop walking in the middle of the street; the reason that he tried to take the officer’s gun; and the reason he continued to charge the officer who was armed and had already shot at him.

Radical leftists, especially in the media, are not interested in justice for Brown and, for sure, not interested in Wilson who simply did his duty and fought for his life. They are interested in their agenda regardless of the facts. They are the biggest hypocrites in America–people without principle. They found Wilson guilty from the start long before anyone knew the facts! Then after hearing the truth, they continue to regurgitate the same dishonest propaganda.

Mike Brown’s mother characterized her dead son as one who would “never do anything to anyone.” Her lawyer told ABC News, “I don’t worry about the due process for Officer Wilson.” Benjamin Crump went on: “I worry about the due process for the little black boy dead on the ground.” So, the Brown attorney is not interested in justice; it seems he wants to lynch a white police officer. Then he characterizes big, burly, boisterous Brown as a “little boy”! What a jerk!

A black celebrity called Brown “merely a child.” The true story is that he was a 292 pound bully who flashed gang signs in photos and took drugs, at least marijuana.

Informed people have always known that liberals have problems with thinking but it seems they also cannot read because I have never seen such distortion, deception, and dishonesty as in the media coverage of the Brown shooting.

Officer Wilson’s life is destroyed because of Big Bully Brown and he will always have a target on his back. Moreover, all police officers will hesitate before defending their own life or an innocent person’s life because of the Ferguson Fiasco. Other potential police officers will refuse to subject themselves to such treatment and will choose a less stressful profession.

To those people who still have praise for Brown and seek persecution and prosecution for Officer Wilson, I want to ask whether they honestly think the world would be better if Brown had successfully taken the gun and killed Wilson? Surely, no honest, clear-thinking person takes that position.

The rampage in Ferguson must not be used by frustrated patriots as a reason for revolt to begin “America’s Second Revolution” because that would play into the hands of America-haters who take advantage of every crisis to “totally remake America” in the image of other totalitarians.

There is no doubt that Brown chose to die as a thug who resisted authority. His parents obviously raised a rebel and must take some, not all, maybe not much, but some blame for rearing a young man who did not respect authority and that lack of respect caused his death.

I would believe the same thing if Brown had been white and Wilson had been black. Race only matters to the racists.

For those trying to decide on the right and wrong of this issue, I ask: would you want to live in a city without any Officer Wilsons? For sure, considering all the facts, the right person died in Ferguson.

Maybe this is evidence of a Black Klan led by Obama, Holder, and Nixon (white man) with Rev. Al as their Kludd (chaplain). Welcome to the new thugocracy where thugs rule and fools follow faithfully.

Ferguson Riots: The Death Rattle of a Great Nation Marching into the Dark Night of Racial Wars? https://donboys.cstnews.com/ferguson-riots-the-death-rattle-of-a-great-nation-marching-into-the-dark-night-of-racial-wars https://donboys.cstnews.com/ferguson-riots-the-death-rattle-of-a-great-nation-marching-into-the-dark-night-of-racial-wars#respond Fri, 22 Aug 2014 16:10:11 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=852 Michael Brown was a black thug, no better or worse than a white or Hispanic thug. As I reflect on this I think of a similar incident in Florida. If Michael Brown had a brother, he would look like Travon Martin. In both cases, non-thinking, bigoted Whites and Blacks jumped to the wrong conclusion. They praised the villains (Martin and Brown) and persecuted the victims (Zimmerman and Wilson). I will remind my readers that both Zimmerman and Wilson had blood running from their head wounds. They shot their assailant as any sane person would do.

Obama felt a need to jump into this affair as he did in the Martin case. Obama reproached the Ferguson cops saying, “There’s also no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protests or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights.” That is correct; but there is no reason to assume, and for sure no proof, that excessive force was used and there is never a right to rob, resist, rampage, and riot. Obama should call for an unbiased investigation.

The U.S. Attorney General, himself an outspoken black racist, is in Ferguson with a cadre of Department of Justice workers who are investigating the incident. No, they are laying a foundation for a predetermined verdict! Holder has not been reticent to speak out on the matter of race. He called America a “nation of cowards” on racial issues in 2009. Holder has sent a signal that he wants the “correct outcome.” Because of his and Obama’s missionary zeal to “get” the white guy, it sends a signal to irresponsible Blacks to “do their thing.” Holder should do his duty for a change and investigate the Blacks who make a game of cold-cocking Whites. After all, that is a “hate” crime if any crime is.

The spineless governor, Jay Nixon, made an incredibly irresponsible and stupid statement when he declared, “a vigorous prosecution [of the shooting] must now be pursued” thereby absolving the thug and accusing the cop! What an idiot! I think he is a Democrat. Had he done his duty he would have demanded an unbiased, thorough investigation but fearful of a greater racial explosion, he took the cowardly way out.

The mother of Travon Martin, another black thug, has jumped into the fray with her two cents and it really wasn’t worth that. She tried to paint the two dead teens as victims of gun violence without admitting their complicity in crime. In a letter to Michael Brown’s parents she declared, “If they refuse to hear us, we will make them feel us.” Sounds like an ominous threat.

Travon’s mother along with Brown’s mother seems to have the same motivation–to get a pound of flesh and a pot of money when they deserved nothing but scorn for turning a tragedy of a son’s death and the destruction of an innocent man into a farce. Both families are an example of what a broken home and the absence of a strong father with biblical convictions can do.

Protesters have demanded justice for Brown, but they want justification for their own violence. To them all white cops are brutal beasts with a vendetta against all sweet, innocent, unarmed, college-bound blacks. Isn’t it strange that most of these black thugs who get themselves killed are always “innocent,” “a real nice guy,” “wonderful son,” etc.!

If a cop commits a crime, then he should pay the price. Everyone agrees with that but too many Blacks and almost all liberals would not agree that Blacks must be held to the same degree of accountably as everyone else. Special racial treatment for anyone is a perfect definition of racism.

The media is not interested in justice, only a good, on-going story. Most of them are gutless wonders who are lazy, incompetent, or are committed zealots to social engineering. That includes race hustlers like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the NAACP. Of course, the Black Panthers are thugs that should be behind bars. None of the above seem to be concerned with the twelve people who were shot and killed in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend! But then that was black on black killings.

I suggest that the police announce that there will be no protesting except during daylight and all protestors who refuse to disperse on the first order will be arrested and jailed.

Moreover, I suggest that the NAACP and similar black groups stop pandering to the haters and spend time and money helping black families stay together, kids stay in school, promote a work mentality, and preach Bible morality to everyone. The answer to hating, robbing, looting, shooting, racism, and violence is Christ. When men trust Christ, there is a change in their morals, mores, manners, and motives. Many of the protesters seem to have problems with all of them.

We’ve come a long way baby–in the wrong direction. The noise of the protestors (cursing, fighting, and chanting) is the death rattle of a once-great nation marching into a dark night of racial wars.

Welcome to a new brave world where right is wrong; up is down; in is out; and bad is good and justice is demanded–if you are black.

Ferguson Riots: Principled People Repudiate Rioters! https://donboys.cstnews.com/ferguson-riots-principled-people-repudiate-rioters https://donboys.cstnews.com/ferguson-riots-principled-people-repudiate-rioters#comments Wed, 20 Aug 2014 19:21:11 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=850 America’s melting pot is seething and about to explode. Two generations have been taught that Blacks are special because they were slaves more than a hundred years ago. Because of that they are to be considered a special group and not held to the same standard of others. That is classic racism.

We are watching lowlifes in Ferguson, Missouri turn a serious local incident into a witch hunt and a national campaign of racial bigotry that would make the most rabid Kleagle (organizer) of the KKK blush with shame–with abundant help from the Moguls of the Media.

While consisting of 14% of our population, we know that about 60% of black births are illegitimate but we must not discuss it. We know that prisons are full of black criminals but that is embarrassing. We know that many black areas are so dangerous even police officers are fearful to enter.

But Blacks were slaves. No, they were not. Not one person now in America was a slave. It is time to realize that the disgraceful time of slavery in the U.S. (a product of Whites and Blacks) is not an excuse for affirmative action, parasitic welfare, violence, immorality, looting, vandalism, school absenteeism, etc. Many of us would find slaves in our ancestry if we traced it because slavery had no racial boundaries.

I am so weary of racial bigots making race an issue when it is not an issue. Let’s ask the honest question: Did the suspect (whatever his race) do the dastardly deed or not? People with character will stand with truth not with emotion–even when a friend or family member is the culprit.

How can America be racist when we have a black President, a black Attorney General, and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black? Furthermore, more than 40% of all federal entitlements go to black Americans and that’s more than three times the rate that go to Whites. Moreover, the top entertainment “stars” are black as well as being among the wealthiest of Americans.

Every American has a constitutional right to discuss, disagree, and debate anything in America. I have always defended that right. However, no one has a right to shoot at police, throw bottles and Molotov cocktails, burn, loot, and destroy to express their views. Only thugs do such things and since I don’t like thugs, I suppose I’m a thugaphobe.

It is always tragic when someone is killed and more so when it is a young person; however, even young people must be held accountable for their actions. In the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Michael Brown, known as the “gentle giant,” was killed by police officer Darren Wilson on August 9 and the streets have been full of protesters and looters. Armed rival gangs are involved and at least two people have been shot. Many protesters were seen with guns. The protest area has been called, a “battle zone.” The governor has called out the National Guard and a midnight curfew was imposed. The pot keeps simmering.

Even though the “teenager” was unarmed, he was 6’ 4” and weighed 292 pounds, had just robbed a store, and was walking in the middle of the street with a friend. According to reports, a police officer told them to move to the side of the street. The officer did not know about the robbery. There was an altercation and Michael fractured one of the office’s eye sockets and tried to take his gun. He failed and was shot six times; however, more than a dozen witnesses confirm that he was charging the officer. The officer shot six times (not knowing whether he hit him or not) and Mike finally fell dead in the street. A county autopsy revealed that marijuana was in his system. The “gentle giant” had problems with decision-making.

The protesters say they want “justice” but they really want the blood of the officer who was defending himself and following police protocol. They are demanding the death penalty for the officer! A police official was intimidated into releasing the name of the police officer although everyone knew it was putting a target on his back. So much for profiles in courage! A television station even showed where the officer lived, putting his life in additional danger.

A thousand people marched and Black Panthers chanted: What do we want?– Darren Wilson! How do we want him? – Dead! Such people are scum. Others chanted, “Time to kill a cop!” The New Black Panthers led a large crowd of “useful idiots” in chanting, “Black Power, Black Power.” Why aren’t those lowlifes in jail?

Missouri State Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson was placed as head of the police response team and seems to be a qualified black officer; however, he made matters worse by hugging and commiserating with the protesters! A rookie cop knows better than that.

During confrontations with police the protesters refused to disperse and police fired tear gas thereby breaking up the crowd of hundreds of people. Principled people know that many of the protesters are simply thieving looters who would have been shot 80 years ago. Looters have historically been shot!

Decent, law-abiding citizens will always defend the right to protest in America but no person with character will defend the looting, burning, robbing, and shooting of people. When the explosion happens, such people–the protesters and their supporters–will have bloody hands. That goes for Obama, Jackson, Sharpton, NAACP, and cowardly politicians who made racist decisions for personal benefit.

Principled people will repudiate the violent protesters in Ferguson and honor a courageous police officer who did what he was trained to do.

Guns: Are Loonies Running this Nation? https://donboys.cstnews.com/guns-are-loonies-running-this-nation https://donboys.cstnews.com/guns-are-loonies-running-this-nation#respond Sat, 16 Mar 2013 16:33:19 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=388 Every day I am amazed, angered, and agitated when I see people in various positions of authority doing silly, senseless, and stupid things–especially if those people work for me! It is an embarrassment to the human race to see dumb, even super dumb decisions by politicians, police, and educators. I seriously believe this is proof of the wreckage of public education and the result of generations of druggies. It’s also proof of the castration of police officers. Maybe the chickens are coming home to roost. The loonies have taken over the asylum.

Recently a 10-year-old Alexandria, Virginia boy was arrested after police said he brought a toy handgun to school. The boy was charged as a juvenile with brandishing a weapon, police said. The boy was also suspended from school and the brilliant school superintendent assured everyone that further action was being considered, including expulsion. Should one of those educators or policemen have said, “Maybe we are a little hasty here. The boy did not have a weapon. He had a toy, an obvious toy. Why don’t we all breathe deeply and count to ten?” They did not because they are a bunch of idiots with badges (and worse, they have guns!) and educators with accredited degrees who are dumb as a box of rocks. Could they even count to ten?

That boy with a toy plastic gun was arrested and suspended while a Texas teacher received a short suspension for pouring real shavings of a real pencil sharpener down a real boy’s throat. Boy, those educators are serious people, aren’t they? I mean, they know what’s really important. They only suspend a stupid and dangerous teacher and arrest and suspend a kid with a toy! Yep, the loonies are in control.

A police spokeswoman said that the boy showed the toy gun to another student but did not point it at anyone or threaten to shoot it. However, the boy did not tell his friends that the plastic gun with an obvious orange barrel tip was not real! Maybe he did not because he would have felt like a fool to do so. The police got to the school ahead of the boy early Tuesday morning since this was such a serious and dangerous case.

When the boy arrived at school, authorities found the toy in his backpack. He was taken into custody, transported to a juvenile detention center for booking, and then released to his parents.

A school official said, “The safety of our students is always our first concern. We appreciate the quick response and action by our police.” Yeah, and I’ll bet local citizens would appreciate such haste when they have a burglary, assault, or a prowler in the neighborhood. I wonder if parents get a “quick response” from school officials when they ask why their sixth grade kids can’t read. And what about the safety and well-being of this 10-year-old boy?

A silly police spokeswoman said, “In light of current events involving schools and guns, police do have a heightened sensitivity to any rumor or concern” about a student possibly having a firearm. But the student didn’t have a firearm. He had a plastic toy that had an orange tip in the barrel. Are these people trying to showcase stupidity? Is it now “cool” to be brainless? Or is this simply a way to make a radical, leftist statement: “Guns are evil, even play guns and pictures of guns. We stand for righteousness, decency, safety, and the American way.” Not the America where I grew up. Maybe they are pumping for a White House visit or at least a mention by the President. But then it may be to make the point that only “government officials” should have guns! Fools!

A seven-year-old Maryland student was suspended for shaping his breakfast Pop-Tart into a “gun” by mistake. He said he was trying to “make a mountain” but it broke. The kid was making a mountain out of a Pot-Tart and the adults were making a mountain out of a molehill. He was playing! That’s what kids do if only stupid adults would come back to the real world, do their own jobs, and leave the kids alone. He didn’t plan on shooting anyone with his broken Pop-Tart!

Recently two kindergarten boys were suspended for “shooting” with their fingers and saying, “pow.” Wow, we have a crime spree on our hands led by kindergarten students! They are probably part of a crime syndicate! Probably out of Chicago. A second grader in Colorado was suspended for pretending to throw a hand grenade at “evil forces” to “save the world.” He “threw” the pretend grenade at a pretend box of pretend evil doers. Serious business! He said, “I was trying to save people and I just can’t believe I got dispended.” I can’t either. The authorities should have been “dispended” and let the kid run the school.

Maybe it is confession time so here goes: I confess to “shooting” a little boy in front of the Ringgold, Georgia Post Office. I walked out the front door and saw a small boy sitting in a truck directly in front of me. Our eyes met and I knew he was up to no good. My juices started to flow, the left corner of my mouth dropped as I sneered and I immediately drew my finger, stretched back my thumb and shot him point blank, beating him to the draw. He grabbed his chest as he fell over into the front seat of the truck. Not sure how many times I hit him. Since that happened on Federal property, I’m sure I broke one of the stupid gun laws, so come and get me.

Yes, loonies are running our schools, police departments, media, and most political offices. Where were these fanatics when I was in a West Virginia elementary school? I would have been thrilled to be suspended for a few days. I “shot” students every day and no one objected, not even those being “shot.” Of course, the teachers and administrators were too busy educating students to make fools of themselves as their modern counterparts do.

If such jerks were in our school system in those days and acted like modern jerks, we would have literally run them out of town! Or maybe horsewhipped them at the courthouse square.

But “you can’t fix stupid” as a famous philosopher said.
