Laquan McDonald was shot 16
times by a Chicago Police Officer.
McDonald was high on PCP and had committed a crime prior to being shot; he
was walking in the middle of the street and was brandishing a knife when the
officer unloaded his service weapon into him.
As is almost always the case in these shootings, had the victim simply
cooperated with the police he’d be alive today.
None of this excuses the
shooting. It was clearly a case of
excessive force. If the officer had stopped
shooting after McDonald was down his actions, while excessive given the number
of cops present, might have been understandable. Shooting the guy an additional 15 times after
he was down was crazy. I suspect the
officer was in some kind of adrenalin induced trance, because witnesses said
the officer was reloading when other officers finally stopped him from shooting.
So McDonald is dead. What’s next?
Well the city settled with his family for 5 million dollars. Yesterday the officer who shot McDonald was
indicted for 1st degree murder, arrested, jailed and denied
bail. So, what pray tell are the
authorities supposed to do? Turn the officer
over to the mob. Get MO head football
coach Gary Pinkel to mediate with the mob, and given his past cowardice in the
face of a mob, that is exactly what will happen.
The mob becomes a mob on the
slightest pretext these day. Violation
of “safe spaces,” microaggressions, Halloween costumes are all justified reasons
for a mob to take over a college library, the university president’s office or
the entire campus. It’s so crazy now that
a mob gathering is sufficient reason for the usual professional azzbag
protestors to reinforce the mob. In this
case the mob is claiming that it is upset in part due to the fact that the
investigation took over a year to complete.
Oh the horror! If I were a cynic,
I’d claim the delay was created on purpose by Mayor Emmanuel in order to get
him on the other side of his reelection as mayor.
During the last Republican
debate Rand Paul made the point that if you want income inequality move to
Demo-Dope city or state. The same can be
said if you want black people shot, civil unrest and illegal alien sanctuary –
move into Dope controlled areas. All of
this unrest from the campus to the cities is happening in lefty Lib
utopias. So, what went wrong?
Thanksgiving is upon us
The world seems to be in the
opening moves of a world-wide war. The
jihadis are playing for real the rest of the world is in an excrement sandwich
where it on the one hand swears Islam has nothing to do with Islamic terror and
on the other hand – well there is no other hand. No wait, on the other hand The Empty Suit has
declared war on the Republican Party and global warming. Good grief Charlie Brown. How totally out of touch can a guy be? This boob actually thinks having a global
warming conference is going to be a blow against ISIS. ISIS could not care less. Dropping a barrel bomb on their heads though will get their attention.
So anyway, there’s still
plenty to be thankful for. We haven’t
been subjected to 7th century Islam…yet. BLM, snowflake college agitators and radical
Islamist haven’t linked up here in the US …yet.
There’s another election just in the offing, and we haven’t elected the
one promising open border and to give away the most “free” stuff…yet. The
Bengals are still in the hunt for a division title. And of course if it’s Thanksgiving, it must
be close to oldest sis’s birthday. Happy birthday sis.
The south obstacles at the compound need
work so, I’ll see ya Mon.
