More “Justice” for Michael Brown?

December 2, 2014

A gang of black “youths” (as the media call them) beat a 32-year-old white man to death with hammers in front of his wife in St. Louis recently.  The St. Louis police immediately announced that the totally unprovoked (by the white man) attack was not racially motivated although witnesses to the murder told the police that the “youths” were chanting “kill the white people” before and during the attack.  The mayor of St. Louis himself chimed in to assure everyone that just because the black murderers were screaming “kill the white people!” while murdering a white man, that doesn’t mean that the murder was motivated  in any way by racism.  He did this before a suspect was even apprehended.  For to do so would contradict the lynchpin of multicultural Marxism — the superstition that only “white male oppressors” (in the language of academe) are capable of bigotry.  This of course is also a core belief of our first post-racial president and his attorney general.

The victim was part of the Bosnian immigrant community that has settled in South St. Louis.  When one of his neighbors said to a local police captain, “We have built this neighborhood, but now it is unsafe,” the police captain responded by saying “Yes it is.”   He might as well have  said: “Who do you believe — me or your own lying eyes”?

Judging from recent history, it is reasonable to assume that the police will be nowhere to be found as  the Bosnian-Americans in South St. Louis will now burn down their own neighborhood while walking off with every last drop of liquor from all the neighborhood liquor stores.
