NY Times Blow's: Walter Scott is Not on Trial - Justification of Murder

[laserhaas]

This item noteworthy of "Walter Scott is Not on Trial", written by NY Times Opinion section writer Charles M. Blow (pic just below from NYT), is brought to us by my FB friend Chris Stevenson (a columnist at BlackCommentator.com).

Journo Charles M. Blow produces a piece of exceptional insight and discussion upon the issues of how pseudo/ faux persons pretend not to be racists. Doing such scheming by the endeavors to claim they lack bias; but sneakily seeking to find a back door way to justify the Police murder of Walter Scott being a result of the hoodlum making a bad decision.

[center][font size=5] Walter Scott is Not on Trial [/font][/center]

Blaming Walter Scott as an Artful Science.

It is best to utilize the words masterful - that my ineptitude's most certainly would only fail to do justice. As is verbatim from the New York Times Opinion Pages, the OpEd Scott is not on Trial specifically states;

I (Charles) not only watched television pundits discuss the shooting of Walter Scott in North Charleston, S.C., last week, I participated in some of those discussions.

And the most disturbing thread that emerged for me was people who said up front that they saw no justification for Scott being killed, but nevertheless stalked around for a back door that would allow them to surreptitiously blame the victim for his own death. Some formulation of “if only he hadn’t run...” was the way this dark door was eased open.

I find it particularly disturbing the way that we try to find excuses for killings, the way that we seek to deprecate a person when they have been killed rather than insisting that they deserved to remain among the living.

Rules being what they are, I'm not allowed to post the entire article here; but you can read it (and the most enlightening polls along side) - at the New York Times (here) - or at the activist/ journalist Chris Stevenson's Black Commentator Facebook posting (here).

As I've said many times heretofore, yours truly was the only Caucasian male in a New York City school, during the era of desegregation. At that time, compared to this, I find the only difference of racial bias to be that - Racists pretend to be non racists; except when they are in the room with racists!

I'm just sayin........

Georgia Pardon's a Woman Executed 60 years ago; but declines to find her not guilty.

For a good example of the hypocrisy of Racism in America, as corroboration of journo Charles M. Blow's contentions....... one need simply look at case by case empirical and hypocrisy even of purported leniency (if you can actually call this insane saga an effort of consideration). In another story from Black Then titled "AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN RECEIVED PARDON 60 YEARS AFTER EXECUTION" - it is written;

Lena Baker, an African American mother of three, was electrocuted at the Georgia State Prison in Reidsyille

She was convicted for the fatal shooting of E. B. Knight, a white Cuthbert, GA mill operator she was hired to care for after he broke his leg. She was 44 and the only woman ever executed in Georgia’s electric chair. For Baker, a Black maid in the segregated south in the 1940’s, her story was a tough sell to a jury of 12 white men. And rumors that she was romantically involved with victim E. B. Knight did not help.

Her murder trial lasted a day -------

In 2005, The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles decided to pardon Lena Baker. Although the board did not find Baker innocent of the crime. It instead found the decision to deny her clemency in 1945 “was a grievous error, as this case called out for mercy.”

Why even bother??? --- Sheessshhh!

May as well get ready America, Police have more gones, semi tanks and riot gear to blow babies up. Unless you are able to paint yourself white and/or will only stay in crowded malls (with mountains of cameras filming) - your life remains in peril. --- It's an empirical fact that Black lives, homeless, poor, non oligarch lives, simply don't matter to Caucasian authorities.
