And does this if you have a history of petty crimes means you are not a victim apply to getting killed by not cops? Like if one.of those grannies at the Wisconsin parade had been caught a couple times selling her oxycontin to buy food, can we.call her a pusher rather than a victim and shrug off her death?

Thumbs up.

Conflate much?

If the granny was a habitual criminal and made life choices that put her in a position to willfully confront and act in a threatening manner with authorities while she was breaking the law, then you could question her.

But that's a silly and specious argument that you're making.

Bottom line, if a motherfucking asshole does asshole things and dies as a result of or as a by-product of his/her/their continued willful patterns of risk behavior, they/he/she do/does not then become fucking Mother Teresa or Jesus merely because you wish to use their death as a way to advance your political cause.

Yes, you support the puic.3xecution of petty criminals. We get that.

And the next time you try to say  Do not put words in my mouth try finding support for the idea that anyone likened George Floyd to Mother Theresa as opposed to his being someone who did not deserve to have his life choked out of him for eight minutes.

I support people living productive lives.  Mother Teresa, yes. George Floyd? No.

Mother Teresa does have a monument to her in Wisconsin.
Few people know about it.

George Floyd has a statue in Newark, NJ. And in NYC. George Floyd Square is a memorial site and occupied protest at the intersection of East 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.


George Floyd was a common criminal who ran into a psychopathic cop. Of course, if he wasn't doing his thing, criminally, he might still be here today/

Mother Teresa is literally a saint. That used to mean something to you.

Apparently, no longer.

Mother Theresa was... complicated.

Chris Hitchens called her the Ghoul of Calcutta.

All people are complicated.

The point of our society s rule of law is to treat any suspect the same,  be they a petty criminal or Mother Teresa. 

That you cannot seem to grasp the constitutional principles at the core of this is puzzling. 

BTW,  if Teresa Bojaxhiu had joined several demonstrations and been arrested for some petty violations would you then expect the police to use a different rule book arresting her?   Neck sitting okay?

Here is a thumbnail on the shitbomb that Hitchens dropped on Teresa,  case anyone is curious.

I was thinking about Hitchens when I posted that.

The jury in the civil case involving White nationalists who led the Unite the Right rally that turned violent in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, has awarded more than $26 million in damages to nine plaintiffs after finding organizers and participants liable on a state conspiracy claim and other counts.

Justice!

Was actually a win for the extreme right.

A thing about Mother Teresa, when she first went to go help the poor she was just another beggar like the other beggars. Eventually she kept going and got connections in the Catholic Church, etc, and then she was able to help people and became a Saint. But at first she was just a beggar like all of the other beggars.

Salute,

Tony V.
