Whose Side Is the Media On in This BLM Thing-- Part 2

Again, the Chicago Tribune just calls this "civil unrest."

Continuing with the article:  "Mission South Chicago was one of many businesses in the neighborhood damaged in late May during weeks long civil unrest that prompted several dispensaries (what marijuana shops are called in Chicago) to close.  The bulletproof glass inside the dispensary was destroyed, some computers were taken and marijuana inventory was stole, Krane said.

"Krane declined to say how much inventory was lost, citing the company's ongoing insurance claims, but repair costs reached six figures.

"Still, the dispensary wasn't as badly damaged as surrounding stores, Krane said.

" 'There were other stores in the neighborhood that were burned.  Most of the aesthetics at the dispensary were not damaged,' he said."

And, does this sound like simple "civil unrest?"   And, nowhere in the article were there the words Black Lives Matter who were running the "demonstration" when the rioting and looting began.  They are so responsible for it and not those "outside agitators police and city officials like to refer to as the reason for the violence and looting.

For some reason, our media is trying not to connect BLM with the Riots, Burning and Looting.

What is wrong with the Chicago Tribune?

Who Is Cannon Hinnant? Who Is George Floyd?

Go ask the next 100 people you meet these two questions.

Of the people I asked, three knew who Cannon Hinnant was.  Everyone knew who George Floyd was.  Of the people I asked, twenty-one more knew who Cannon Hinnant was when I mentioned that he was a five-year-old white boy shot point-blank in the head by a black man in North Carolina, but they didn't know his name.

There were still a whole lot of people who did not know who Cannon Hinnant was even with the extra information.

I myself did not know who Cannon Hinnant was until this past Friday and he was executed on Sunday, August 9.

Why is his death relegated to barely mentioned, if at all, on out national media, especially TV news and newspapers?  As far as I know, even the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times had not mentioned it.  I'be been watching the news a lot and the only mention here in Chicago was a one-minute segment on the local Fox TV station.

Next time you see BLMers and heir white minions out demonstrating for George Floyd, you might want to mention Cannon Hinnant to them and see if they know who he is.

If you don't know much about Cannon Hinnant, do a search for his name on the internet and find out.  His picture is to the right of this.

Statues Toppled Across the U.S. As Rioting Continues-- Part 2

From the June 21, 2020, Chicago Tribune  "Statues toppled across US in unrest" by Olga R. Rodriguez and Jeffrey Collins.

I started this in the previous post for Part 1.

"But several were removed by North Carolina's Democratic governor, who said he was trying to avoid violent clashes or injuries from toppling heavy monuments erected by white supremacists that he said do not belong in places like the state capitol grounds that are for all people."  Well, what would you expect from a Democrat?

Really, governor, those 80-year-old white supremacist Daughters of the Confederacy?  These were mighty violent people much like today's BLMers.

Sadly, I am beginning to want state and local governments to remove all Confederate monuments everywhere to protect them from hate crimes committed by BLMers, their white minions and college students.  They apparently have complete impunity to any legal action that should be taken for breaking the law.

"The statues are falling amid continuing anti-racism demonstrations (along with the rioting, burning and looting all over the United States) following the May 25 police killing of George Floyd, the African  American (personally I find this term offensive) man who died after a white police officer pressed his knee on his neck and whose death galvanized protesters around the globe to rally against police brutality and racism."

That was nothing short of murder, especially because I've seen no evidence that he resisted.

But, I was surprised to see this movement was not just directed against the police, but to a huge extent against the Confederate statues.  If things were bad before his death with the Confederate memorials, they are out of control now.  Even going to non-Confederate statues.

Eight Days to Virginia's Confederate Statue Orgy-- Part 1: Times That Try Your Soul

Just eight days until the Confederate Memorial Protection Act is no more and I am sure Virginia is preparing to have one of the biggest parties in state history next Wednesday.

Those statues will be gone and certain people and their minions will be partying hardy.

The Confederate statue situation is really opening the proverbial can of worms.  It might even come back to bite the ones pushing it.  Remember, all it takes is one black person to be offended before things get done.  Hopefully that is a two-way street.

Here is an article from the June 21, 2020, Chicago Tribune  "Statues toppled across the US in unrest" by Olga R. Rodriguez and Jeffrey Collins, AP.

"Protesters tore down more statues across the United States, expanding the razing in a San Francisco park to the writer of America's National Anthem and to the general who won the country's Civil War which ended widespread slavery.  Really, writer of "The Star-Spangled Banner"?  Must be something ol' Kappynapper had something to do with.   Really, U.S. Grant who beat Confederate General R.E. Lee and ended the war in which slaves received their freedom?  Really?

"In Seattle, violence erupted before dawn Saturday in a protest zone largely abandoned by police, where one person was fatally shot and another critically wounded.

"On the East Coast, more statues honoring Confederates who tried to break away from the United States more than 150 years ago were toppled."

And, what about the statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson in Oregon?

Times That Try Men's Souls: A Band, Bad Professors?, NASCAR Zealots and Nancy

Here are some articles in the Chicago Tribune of late.

**  Lady Antebellum changes name.  You know, antebellum is used to describe the South before the Civil War.

**  "One Tree Hill" stars asks fans to help fire fire professor.  (A professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, who said "Massa Cooper, let my people go!"  UNC-Chapel Hill?  Wasn't that the place where professors likely urged students to tear down the "Silent Sam " statue in a hate crime?)

Also, kind of strange that those "One Tree" folks had nothing to say about the that professor from UAB who tweeted about how to pull down a statue.  Why hasn't she been fired?  Oh yes.  Birmingham, Alabama, where the mayor has broken the law and is proud of it.

**  About that NASCAR ban.  The Chicago Tribune had two hate-filled commentaries about how bad everyone who supports anything Confederate is.  Those two would be Kevin Williams and Eric Zorn.  Hate, hate, hate guys.  Man, that's a lot of hate-spewing.

**  Pelosi orders Confederate portraits removed.  Those of four previous Speakers of the U.S. House who served in the Confederacy:  Robert Hunter, James Orr, Howell Cobb and Charles Crisp.  Charles Crisp was not a Speaker until after the war.

Maybe, since she's one of those Democrats, and you know how they are about the "S" word, she should also remove the names of Southerners who may have or may not have owned the "S" word.  Those would be Nathaniel Bacon, Henry Clay, Langdon Cheves, Phillip Pendleton Barbour, Andrew Stevenson, John Bell, James K. Polk, John White, John Winston Jones and Linn Boyd.
