Are we supposed to believe that this outcome is better than what happened in Columbus? Friends, family gather to remember 13-year-old stabbed to death in Winton Hills. Nyaira Givens was her name.
Winton Hills is a neighborhood in Cincinnati.
Police believe a 13-year-old girl, whom Nyaira knew, stabbed her. She died in Jackson's arms as the family waited for help to arrive. During the vigil, Jackson held a picture of Nyaira in his arms.
In the insane moment of the day, Bree Newsome, prominent BLM activist, said that cops should just let the knife fights play out. She said that on Twitter and when the blow-back got intense she made her account private (or protected in Twtter-speak). BLM activist says police shouldn't use a weapon to stop someone from getting stabbed
Bree Newsome said that "Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations."
I wonder if Ms. Newsome would like to talk to the parents of the 13-year-old who was stabbed to death. I'm sure she can convince them it is for the best.
Her take was that anyone who calls police to the scene of a knife fight is the one that needs help, and she means that "sincerely." For Newsome, police being called to a knife fight is nothing but white supremacy.
Thank the gods there was none of that in Cincinnati. Or something.
It is at times like these that I am reminded of William Butler Yeats' poem "The Second Coming" and the phrase...
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
The full text will be in the comments.
"The Second Coming" by William Butler Yeats.
ReplyDeleteTurning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
A "Knife Fight" is when two people with knives are going at each other. Attempting to stab an unarmed girl is "Attempted Murder".
ReplyDeleteThat point has been made in several places, though I probably should have included on of the references here.
DeleteThe point about bringing up Bree Newsome and her insane take on when and where police should get involved is just to highlight that the Left is truly insane. They do not want the rule of law. They do not want an orderly society. They want violence in the streets to be the accepted norm. Though that has been clear to some of us for a long time.
