Seven years old. He won’t grow up. He won’t go to college
and get a job. He will never play in the park again. His life was cut short by
an act of pure evil. A family lost a child. This is yet another case of
Chicago’s gun problem, and yet another death ignored by the left.......We all
remember Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, and all the other people whose deaths
(justified or not) have caused mass riots and calls for police to be disarmed
or simply abolished. The left has made sure we remember them. They have been
religious in making sure that the calls for justice are loud, and that everyone
knows the police are to blame for this, regardless of the circumstances. We all
remember the terrorist attack in Charleston and the calls for gun control after
it was over. So why aren’t we hearing about justice for Amari?......
The brutal killing of Kevin
Sutherland in the Washington, D.C., subway on July 4, does much to undermine
popular leftist tropes, in this case, race, crime, guns and drugs, just as the
murder of Kathryn Steinle in San Francisco challenges liberal immigration
policies. Sutherland was beaten and stabbed to death on a Metro train by a drug
addled African-American teenager in the middle of the day in front of about a
dozen other stunned passengers.
Sutherland’s killer, 18 year
old Jasper Spires, shares many characteristics with more famous and lionized
Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, except that while the latter two were shot to
death by armed men in the midst of physical assaults, Spires took full
advantage of his unarmed victim (and other passengers) to complete his crime
and survive, and is now in custody. The mainstream media and leftist
politicians have mostly downplayed the incident, since Spires cannot be
caricatured as a victim of white racism. Indeed, the problem for the media is
that in almost every respect, this encounter shows the utter inanity and
hypocrisy of many of their favored talking points and positions.....For
liberals, the murders of Kevin Sutherland and San Francisco’s Kathryn Steinle
are evidence written in blood of the foolishness and callousness of their
worldview. For the left, some ghoulish murders like those in Charleston are
worth exploiting, while others are best ignored, lest people actually start
thinking about the way things really are, instead of the interpretive,
narrative world that liberals live in……To Read More….
