Here's some more of that new civility we've been hearing about


The Trayvon Martin shooting down in Florida continues to descend into a sad spectacle of unhinged leftist hatred.

Perhaps, fortunately, for George Zimmerman, this lynch justice mob couldn't organize a rock fight...







Nice work, Spike.

And there is a very simple reason why news agencies didn't report Lee's inaccuracies. It stems from the same mentality whereby the New York Times uses the term "white Hispanic" to describe George Zimmerman. We're voracious consumers of both print and electronic news media and we've never heard nor seen that term before. Extraordinary lengths one must go, then, to perpetuate the narrative of racial and class oppression here in this country.

And while there is indeed racial oppression in this country, it does appear to be rather inward-directed. From Victor Davis Hanson:

While it is natural that African-American activists need answers as to why the armed assailant Mr. Zimmerman was not charged in the shooting, they also cannot explain why their attention is not in commensurate fashion focused on the far greater number of young black males gunned down, many just last week in Chicago, by other black males. Nor can they explain to the non-African-American community why the far greater instances of black-on-white violent crime supports any such notion of a supposed war on young black males.

The net result of the demagoguery will be more racial polarization, as African-Americans believe that young black males are unfairly stereotyped by society and treated less fairly by police, while non-African-Americans will only be further convinced that the African-American leadership is not concerned with the vastly inordinate rates of black violent crime, given the small percentage of the African-American community within the general population, much less the much higher rates of black-on-white crime – and as both sides argue either for more money to be invested in social programs, or that too much has already been spent in counter-productive fashion.


It's becoming all too apparent as the days roll on that the media, the establishment left and the race-based grievance industry (not that there should be too great a distinction drawn between them) learned no lessons from the Duke Lacrosse rape case. Again, why let the wheels of justice grind away and the facts to sort out when there are agendas to advance?

Any violence or breaking of the law that results from this whole sorry affair, for it, we have no choice but to blame the inflamed rhetoric and hateful speech emanating from the left-wing media and cultural institutions in this country. The blood will be on their hands.

i don't agree with the "blood on the hands" statement. people like lee rarely apologize, and will never be accountable. Any apology will be half-assed and would be laced with misdirected blame. it's always someone else's fault in their world.

unless, of course, Prof. Reynolds is right and the couple sues him for putting them in danger. Which they should.

Lee violated the TOS for Twitter. Was his account suspended? No. Is he a Left Wing terrorist? Yes.

When the amount of race baiters and violence inducers reaches the tipping point I hope the rest of us are able to protect ourselves.

Fortunately cooler heads usually prevail unless you're Reginald Denny.

And right on schedule
The family has hired legal representation. Sorry but my phone won't copy the link over. Just wondering if they will go after twitter for not suspending lee due to breach in term of service, or just lee. I'd go after both. Deep pockets

This story seems to be making everyone stupid. Even Richard Rider was stirring the pot this week with stupid comments about black on black violence being the real story. (face palm).
