Walking the Point

7 dead and 25 wounded in the last weekend’s shooting in Texas.

The bad boy in Texas got the gun illegally because he had a criminal record and failed the background check. However, mainstream media says nothing about the shooting stats over the same weekend in Chicago; 7 dead, 36 wounded. According to Heather McDonald, author of The War on Cops, this doesn’t fit the media or Marxist narrative. She stated; “The mainstream media and Democrat establishment don’t give a damn about black lives unless a white police officer is involved.”

MacDonald also went on to say; “My heart goes out to the victims in Texas. But believe me Martha, this is a trival problem these mass shootings, compared to the daily carnage going on in inner cities. If the Democratic contenders really wanted to make a dent in gun violence in this country they would stop demonizing the cops. They would support proactive policing, because the majority of gun violence is going on in inner cities and can be solved by cops. 20 blacks a day are killed. That’s more that all white and hispanic homicide victims combined. This year we had 142 victims of mass shootings, we’re likely to have about 15,000 gun homicide victims, over half will be black…The media doesn’t care because it doesn’t fit their narritaive about a racist society. They do not care about black on black violence because it doesn’t advance their agenda of talking down what they see as an illegitimate power structure.” (1)

In my day on the streets we loved getting “self-initiated” felony arrests. We weren’t hammering good people, just the thugs wreaking havoc on citizens.  Pro-active policing, the self-initiated felony arrests by pro-active streets will be crime down in America’s urban ghettos.

Rush Limbaugh talked about Thursday night’s “back and forth” between Tucker Carlson and NYC Mayor, Bill De Blasio on his Friday show; I made a statement yesterday on this program and that idiot mayor in New York, Bill de Blasio, came along and made me look like a genius, which isn’t hard to do.… last night, this idiot de Blasio, for some reason, showed up on… Tucker Carlson’s Show (Fox News Channel, 09-05-19). 

So Tucker Carlson says, “You would have law-abiding people like me who have hunting rifles that fall under assault weapon category, and the cops would show up and say, ‘Give us your gun,’ and they would say, ‘No,’ and you would have — unfortunately, tragically, you would have — cases of violence. Are you okay with that?”

DE BLASIO: I’m being honest with you. We cannot have assault weapons in our society. We’ve seen the devastating impact. They need to be banned. Those just don’t belong in the hands of everyday people.

CARLSON: Would you subject your bodyguards to the same limitations as other American citizens?

DE BLASIO: Tucker, I respect you, but that’s a question that makes no sense whatsoever.

CARLSON: Of course it does.

DE BLASIO: If you have sworn law enforcement officers —

CARLSON: Of course it does. I’ve got a family just as you do. I have a lot of threats against me —

DE BLASIO: Sworn law enforcement officers —

CARLSON: — just as you do. Hold on. Slow down.

DE BLASIO: — who are here to protect all of us.

CARLSON: You get free bodyguards.

DE BLASIO: No, no, no, no.

CARLSON: I don’t. No, no, no.

DE BLASIO: No, no, no.

CARLSON: No, no, no.

DE BLASIO: I’m only going to —

CARLSON: You have bodyguards living at your house, and they’ve got magazines that I can’t protect my family with.

DE BLASIO: (sputtering)

CARLSON: Does that bother you as a champion of the little guy?

DE BLASIO: This society that we are living in — and I hate to say it — but public servants are vulnerable to violence in a different way. Our law enforcement officers are there to protect all of us!

RUSH: So you see, he needs his guns, but you don’t need yours! You’re too dangerous and risky to have guns. You don’t need ’em. But with licensed law enforcement, which he’s also disrespecting every chance he gets. (impression) “Well, I need my protection! I am an elected official. (sputtering) As mayor, I need to stay alive. Uh, you don’t need to be alive as much as I do and — and therefore… And my constituents will understand this.”

“These people are pure hypocrites. He doesn’t, I don’t think, know what he’s saying. He’s a programmed automaton here. “We can’t have assault weapons in our society! We’ve seen the devastating impact. They need to be banned! They just don’t belong in the hands of everyday people.” He hears two words, “assault weapons,” and comes back with that. It’s a programmed response. It’s not even the result of any applied thought.” (2)
