Lessons learned from breaking into your own home

Unless you’re a blogger, if you don’t know all of the facts about a highly charged racial incident, when asked about it, you probably ought to shut up. That’s especially true if you’re the Dear Leader of the United States talking to the press during a live prime time press conference. The Dear Leader spoke stupidly – not a surprising or rare event really when you consider how stupid the Dear Dope is – when asked about a black professor being arrested.

The common meme – perpetuated by the Dear Dope - is that the professor was arrested for breaking and entering his own house. That is not true. Everyone agrees that the absent minded professor had lost his house key and had to force his way in to his own home. Apparently keyless entry, hide-a-key, leaving a spare key with a friend, family member, neighbor or in a desk drawer at work are all concepts too mundane for the high minds at Cambridge to contemplate or consider. It's much better to just force a door open in the middle of the night than give such a matter one minutes thought.

So a racist neighbor sees a couple guys forcing their way into the professor’s home one night and calls the cops. Five white cops with KKK tattoos show up, drag the professor from his own home beat him senseless while he recites Matthew 44-45 over and over.

No, actually that’s not what happened. Contrary to what the lying Dear Leader alluded to in presser, the professor was not arrested for being in his own home. The professor was arrested for being abusive and disorderly to a police officer acting in the line-of-duty after being called by neighbors to report a break-in.

So here are the lessons learned:

Home occupiers (as discussed below there are NO home owners):

Make sure you have an alternate way to enter your home in the event you lose your key.

If the cops show up after you’ve broken into your home, cooperate, throw in a “yes sir” and “no officer” now and then. Remember the cops don’t know that it is your house and you’re not some strung out meth addict with a gun until YOU prove it.

Use the incident as teachable moment to youth that the cops – 99.9% of time - are not the bad guys.

Remember you are not a victim. The only reason the cops are there in the first place is to help you and protect your property after you lost your house key.

Cops:

Do your duty professionally and let the chips fall.

Race baiting fools are everywhere - even in the highest office in the land.

Dear Leaders:

STFU!

The Dear Leader closed the loop the next day by saying that with an unstable economy, two wars, a health crisis, and global climate change, we should not take his presser comments on racial profiling as the headline from the presser. It was a David Copperfield moment. It there one second and gone the next second. Since his comments did not lead to full blown race riot with burning buildings and cars it never really happened. Unless you are Sgt McCrowley of the Cambidge Police Dept. The state run media has him firmly in the cross hairs. Joe-the plumber, Sarah Palin, and Sgt McCrowley will soon be shown on the cover of Newsweek eating babies. The Griffin.
