No. I didn't post anything for the 4th. It's a holiday I really don't think of except when I view it through my uncles and one aunt's service in the Armed Forces. Other than that, it has never been a "golly, gee-whiz" holiday for my family.
So no. Personally, the booms of the fireworks near me got on my nerves. Now on to the post's topic.
Well. Well. Well.
While the police in Akron, OH were on tenterhooks about how the Black populace was gonna react when the dept. was scheduled to release the body caam footage of the straight-up MURDER of Jayland Walker, a White, probable incel (sorry but from the looks of his photo, no sane chick was entertaining him) opened fire on a July 4th parade in Highland Park, Il.
Hmmm.
Law enforcement is always focused on Black folks while certain White folks are preparing to wild out. I say "preparing" to wild out because the shooter had social media posts declaring his intent waaaay before he acted out.
(this is a stock photo before anyone gets in their feelings)Not saying Akron cops should have known anything about the Highland Park shooter. It's not their backyard, but Ilinois cops should have watched the dude in their backyard as he was an incident waiting to happen because they had had PRIOR RUN-INS with him. Like all previous mass shooters he was KNOWN by the police and had a very unhinged social media presence.
Anyhoo, Akron's Black populace stayed calm when the brutal body cam footage of Jayland Walker's execution was released. I bet that deflated some goons balloons. Oh, well, guys, don't fret. Y'all will get to gun down and/or beat down more Black people soon I am sure.
But back to the Highland Park shooter. Killer of 6, wounder of many more.
Unlike Mr. Walker, who had NOT shot and killed anyone and, yes, had led the cops on a high-speed chase and supposedly had fired a gun out of his car at them (strange as a gun was found in the BACK SEAT of the car. Ummm), was cornered and hit 60 times out of the 90-bullet barrage 8 cops sent his way, Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo III, a killer, was sought and taken into custody without incident.
Oh my. How was that orchestrated?
Did he cry and throw himself on their mercy? Did he lie down on the ground? If so, did he get Mickey D's, like Dylan Ruff did, after they "took him into custody?"
No. I do not want to see people be riddled with gun fire when chased by cops BUT why is it ALWAYS the Black folks who get slaughtered whether they have fired a gun or not? Whether they comply or not? they are killed on the spot like unruly livestock. And the Crimo types get apprehended "without incident" when they HAVE shed blood? Make it nake sense.
I know the answer, You know the answer. We all know the answer.
I did a little research. Seems Highland Park, Il. has a high Jewish population - @50 percent. Is the shooter a "Great Replacement' theory believer or just mental? Or both? If his social media has posts about certain ethnicities, hiis charges will reveal what the authorities beleive his motive was.
In any case, he's dangerous and needs to sit in a big cell with Dylan, Payton, and all the rest of the mediocre menaces.
P. S. My hometown's July 4th concert ended with a bang. Literally. A shooter shot into the crowd hitting 2 cops. The culprits are still on the loose. I find it interesting that as huge as the crowd was, a shooter could accurately hit 2 cops.
Hmmm.Interesting indeed.
