Sean Hannity just had a gut wrenching interview with the father of the 19 year old black man shot and killed in the illegal occupation of a section of Seattle. This death was in part due to the failure of government to stop this occupation whose mayor ordered the police to stand down in the face of rioting, looting, violence and death,

The media romanticized the occupation of this area, as well as the protest movement writ large ( does the use of this term make my brain seem large ) despite the incredible carnage in the streets of this country. The despicable and deplorable media are clearly in agreement with the criminalized protesters in believing the ends justify the means. They refuse to report the truth and describe every uprising as mostly peaceful.

There has been only marginalized coverage of the killings in CHOP .Except for Hannity the families of the victims have been ignored. There has bee no in depth conversation about the origins of this whole sordid episode. No condemnation of ANTIFA and other groups who were responsible for this violence and destruction. The focus remained firmly on the alleged systemic racism which is often parroted but seldom proven.

Contrast the media coverage of Charlottteseville where a white 24 year old woman allegedly died when a late arriving man struck her with his vehicle. There have been some reports the woman actually had health issues and died of a heart attack. Regardless, her death gave the same despicable and deplorable media an easy avenue to blame the white protesters who were presciently marching against removing statues of Civil Warleaders.

The marchers had gotten a police permit to assemble and hold rallies and parades. They did so without incident. Not a single building was burned or looted. They occupied only the small perimeter o ftheir rally.

Then as their group was peacefully marching , carrying only tiki lanterns and still causing no damage or civil unrest the totally peaceful event was shattered by the arrival of ANTIFA which violently attacked the group. As the melee went on a white man who was not a part of the events suddenly arrived and drove into the crowd and struck the woman who died.

The left wing sycophantic media immediately swung into action, smearing the whole group for the actions of one rogue person . There was no condemnation of ANTIFA for showing up and violently interrupting their legally organized and lawful protest event. The only thing which mattered is the media could smear the white nationalists. for their viewpoint and their defense of the Civil War statues.No matter how repugnant their message they were still entitled to the same constitutional protections as anyone else.

Unlike their symbiotic relationship with current protesters, the media not only rejected their ends but also rejected their means and blamed them for the attacks by ANTIFA . When President Trump objectively stated there were likely good people on each side the media became totally unhinged and called Trump a racist.

These two media responses clearly illustrate how the media are truly the enemies of the people.

All true.

Especially the part, "the media are truly the enemies of the people".

Have seen this reported several times, but was never clear if it was ever medically established.

I doubt that’s the case. She probably died from her heart ceasing to beat. Which is how everyone dies. And then people reading an autopsy report say “it’s a heart attack!”

Just curious, if you were too lazy to read the post and address the topic why did you feel compelled to make worthless comment. What did you accomplish?

We’re talking about the convicted murderer who said, “This is where the magic happened.” when referring to Nazi death camps? The guy who was caught in video as he ran over a protester with his car and argued on the prison phone with his mother that he was justified because the victim was an “anti-white, liberal enemy”? That guy? That’s the “late arriving man?”

I am not defending his actions, only noting he was not a part of the activities all weekend an d arrived the day of the incident. Yet, the media took the opportunity to link him tothe large group and smeared everyone else by association. No such irrational linkage to current protesters.

Some of the op was about him. Some of the op was about a dead 19 year old.


We know which one warrants your attention.

The protesters who chanted “Jews will not replace us”? They shouldn’t be logically linked to Mr. Dachau?

Maybe if the CHOP perps (no arrests yet) turn out to be militant Black Panthers who killed Turning Point activists, you’ll have your moral equivalency.

I'm a 50 year old white conservative male who rarely gets emotional. I shed a tear watching that interview on Hannity, and feel horribly for that man that lost his son.
