Bringing back the glory days of 2020.
As I have pointed out time and time again, BLM riots are timed for election years. No drug dealers, violent thugs or nutters ever get shot during off years. And with an election coming up and a sorta partly black presidential candidate who used to listen to ‘Salt n’ Pepper’ on the ballot, it’s time for some BLMing.
If Kamala can get Israel to stop fighting Hamas and get the rioters to pivot over to BLM, she can recreate the glory days of 2020. There needs to be another George Floyd. But that’s a minor detail.
And there are candidates inbound.
On Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris called the family of Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman who was fatally shot by a sheriff’s deputy in her Illinois home, according to Massey’s family members who spoke to NBC News.
“It’s made me feel a lot better today,” James Wilburn, Massey’s father, said. “She gave us her heartfelt condolences, and she let us know that she is with us 100%, that this senseless killing must stop.”
I have spent a lot of time writing and reporting on BLM cases and Massey is probably the only sympathetic case so far. That doesn’t mean it’s justified. But it is a case of a woman undergoing a mental episode who called the police. And who was not committing a crime or armed with a normative weapon.
While social workers are not the answer for criminals, this was an actual mental health crisis.
That said, the shooting is complicated. The officer believed that Massey, who was behaving erratically and saying strange things, was about to hurl boiling water in his face. He didn’t react properly to the situation or provide proper warnings beforehand. But no one can really know what Massey was going to do. That’s the messy reality of dealing with a mental health situation. Sending in a social worker can also end badly. But more likely it would end badly for the social worker.
I am sympathetic to the Massey family. But Kamala is looking to monetize it. As are the usual gang of lawyers and activists who need a name on whose behalf to sue, organize, and then riot.
It may be a little too early in the campaign for street riots, but expect those to be a real option before long.
