As usual, I am indebted to 'MDA' (My Darling Anne - Coulter) - natch! - who takes up both a surgical scalpel and an electric chain saw to dismember the rotten, stinking edifice of that political pamphlet a.k.a. the New York Times. I am left asking the usual question - do Americans actually part with their money to purchase propaganda leaflets? Apparently, they do.
'MDA' takes up the story of a certain late but mostly unlamented Antwon Rose II from East Pittsburgh. He was a 17-year old black kid shot dead by a policemen. In Ms. Coulter's precise summary of the NYT's report:
Here’s what you would learn from the Times:
-- Antwon was unarmed.
-- Antwon “was in his high school’s honors program.”
-- Antwon “played basketball and the saxophone.”
-- Antwon “volunteered for a local charity.”
-- In 2016, Antwon wrote a poem titled, “I Am Not What You Think!” which included these lines:
I see mothers bury their sons
I want my Mom to never feel that pain.
-- A policeman stopped the gold Chevy Cruze Antwon “was riding in” because it “matched the description” of a car “involved” in a drive-by shooting minutes earlier.
-- The jury consisted of nine whites and three African Americans.
If you read the Times piece, all you would know is that an honor student who loved his mom ... was KILLED for the crime of riding in a car similar to one that had just been used in a crime.
Cue: the usual wailing lament from the usual suspects! But, alas for them, in rides Ms. Coulter armed with facts - yes, FACTS, pesky damn things! [With my emphases]
-- The gold Chevy Cruze Antwon fled did not merely “match the description of” a car used in a drive-by shooting: It was the car used in the drive-by shooting, as proved by surveillance video posted online days after the shooting and shown to the jury.
-- The video shows 13 shots being fired from the back seat of that exact car, with -- according to the prosecutor -- Antwon riding in the front seat.
-- The backseat passenger, Zaijuan Hester, later pleaded guilty to the drive-by shooting.
-- One of the victims of the drive-by shooting told police it was Antwon who shot him. "The beef was between me and him,” William Ross told a Pennsylvania State Police officer. “That car came by, he shot me, I ran to the store."
-- The jitney driver told police that, right before the shooting started, he heard the backseat passenger ask, “Is that him?”
-- The gun used in the drive-by was recovered in the back seat of the car.
-- A stolen gun was found under Antwon’s seat, an empty magazine in Antwon’s pants pocket, and there was gunpowder residue on Antwon’s hands.
-- The car stopped by the officer was riddled with bullet holes.
-- The jury that unanimously acquitted the officer was led by an African American foreman, who stoutly defended the verdict.
Ms. Coulter reminds us that "None of that made it into the Times story on the trial’s conclusion". She goes on to accuse:
The Times has told wild lies about the racist shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri (false), the racist arrest of Freddie Grey in Baltimore (false), the racist shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida (false), the racist gang-rape of a black stripper by a Duke lacrosse team (false) and so on.
Given all of that and the fact that some of my 'Yankee-doodle' friends actually part with money to read crap in the NYT, I am thinking seriously of charging for entry in to these hallowed columns in D&N! Er, cash only, mind, no cheques!
The NY Times, aka Pravda on the Hudson, is digging in a trash pit of their own making. Malcolm Pollack covers this well and their "race race race" all the time narrative:
