Some thug brutally assaults two elderly prolife demonstrators -- shoves one to the ground and beats him, all on camera -- and gets "home detention" for a sentence from a liberal judge. This is not justice. This is open season on prolife Americans
It's okay. This thug beating the shit out of a senior citizen "just snapped" and was having a "bad day."
Obviously black thugs -- or antifa paramilitaries, or other leftwing scum -- are allowed to give Street Reparations to any elderly white people they decided to beat nearly to death on the street. It's what they're owed because of George Floyd.
This black pastor wants the white victims of the Cincinnati mob arrested for not walking away. Don't they know they're supposed to obey the commands of black street thugs?
The Regime is making its last mistake when it calculates that half of the country will voluntarily agree to become a state-declared Prey Species for leftwing predators.
The corrupt woke Regime will not survive Two-Tier Policing. The public will not accept it.
This ain't the UK.
A 28-year-old man who was caught on video attacking two pro-life activists outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Baltimore was sentenced this week to a year of home detention and three years of probation.
Baltimore Circuit Judge Yvette M. Bryant rebuffed prosecutors' calls for a 10-year sentence against Patrick Brice, 28, after he was found guilty of two counts of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment in relation to the May 2023 incident, according to The Baltimore Banner.
"What about my rights and my well-being?" one of the victims in the attack, Mark Crosby -- who was 73 years old at the time -- reportedly shouted at Bryant on Thursday as she left the bench.
Brice said on May 26, 2023, he intended to debate Richard Schaefer -- the other victim, who was 84 -- about the concept of sin outside the Planned Parenthood facility, but then lost it after Schaefer made what he perceived to be a racial remark, The Baltimore Banner reported. Surveillance video showed Brice shoving Schaefer into a flowerpot and then assaulting Crosby when he rushed to his aid.
"I just snapped one day," Brice was quoted by The Baltimore Banner as saying in court Thursday before apologizing to both men.
As part of his sentence, Brice must complete anger management classes, undergo drug and alcohol screening and remain in therapy, the website added.
It also said Crosby suffered permanent damage to his right eye as a result of the assault.
"This was not a minor altercation between two parties with differing views on abortion. It was a vicious, targeted assault on two senior citizens whose only 'offense' was praying for expectant mothers and offering life-affirming alternatives to abortion," Tom Brejcha, the President and Chief Counsel of the conservative law firm Thomas More Society, said in a statement.
"One of the victims was knocked unconscious. The other suffered broken facial bones and a lifelong eye impairment. This was an act of cowardice and cruelty, and sheer mayhem. This crime deserves far more serious consequences than a 'get out of jail free' card and a one-year home detention that amounts to nothing more than a slap on the wrist," he added.
I'm not going to shy away from this any longer. Is my take racial? Yes it is. But the story is racial.
There is clearly a belief among members of the left, including many black politicians and judges, that black people should essentially be immunized from prosecution so long as they're doing the important Violent Street Justice work of beating up white people.
We need to be clear: Whatever you hallucinated happening in the George Floyd case, no, you do not have the legal right to lynch white people on the street because you were "having a bad day."
This cannot go on much longer.
The Media and a Mob in Cincinnati
The racial narrative leads major news organizations to ignore a violent attack on two white people.
When a mob violently attacked two people in downtown Cincinnati last week, video of the beat-down spread across social media. But not a single major television network covered the story. It didn't fit the mainstream media's narrative about racial violence in America. The victims were white, and as of Wednesday police had arrested six black suspects for their alleged roles in the public pummeling.
Today's media seems to conflagrate over violence only when the perpetrator is white and the victim is black. Then the cameras roll, protests erupt, and hashtags fly. But when the races are reversed, the mainstream media buries the incident or ignores it entirely. The same is true of black-on-black violence.
Consider the tragic case of Ariana Delane, the 4-year-old niece of George Floyd, who was shot and wounded while sleeping beside her grandmother as gunfire hit their apartment. Despite the horror of her story, it received nowhere near the national attention that followed her uncle's death. Both the girl and Floyd deserved to live in peace, yet there is national outrage when a black man is killed at the hands of police but silence when black children are the collateral victims of the senseless violence plaguing our cities every day.
During a 2018 spike in violent incidents against Asian-Americans, journalists mostly ignored that blacks were the most frequent perpetrators. The truth would have broken the media's worldview that black Americans are always innocent victims.
This racial gerrymandering of the facts mirrors the very injustices the media claim to hate in American history. In the Jim Crow South, if a black man committed an offense against another black man, he would face few consequences, if any--especially if the perpetrator worked for an influential white figure. Meanwhile, a black man who allegedly harmed a white person would face swift and brutal retribution. One hundred years later, we have flipped the script.
We teach our children that to be black is to be permanently victimized and that to be white is to be perpetually guilty.
Americans should renounce any schema in which one race is guilty and another innocent. That is the path to national ruin. Only if we disregard race in how we judge one another will we be able to address the real crisis in society: the spiritual and moral free-fall given to us by identity politics.
As the mainstream media chatters about systemic racism, our young people are dying of bullets, drugs, and despair. Atlanta saw 47 people shot and five killed over four days in July. Homicide and suicide are leading causes of death for 15- to 19-year-olds, and teen drug overdose deaths are still way up from before the pandemic. When our young are bombarded with claims that they live in a fundamentally racist society and that they are powerless pawns of systemic forces beyond their control, how can we expect them to have hope, to believe in moral agency, to work with others with grace and compassion toward a better world?
