Hate Speech of The Day September 2, 2015

[Posted on American Thinker, in response to my defense of disabled persons who are perceived as crazy. The rage and threats indicate omniscience, classism, limited vocabulary, intolerance and no concern for vulnerable persons. He appears to be confused, promoting guns, and making threats on behalf of extremist leftists. Does that happen often to prison volunteers? He appears to think I am a liberal. Not the first time a paranoid right winger expressed misguided thoughts.]

"We" are the populace. As I stated quite clearly above, people buy guns to protect themselves because of people like you. I spent several years doing volunteer programs in the local correctional center. You had better stay in your Ivory Tower protected by a system which you disdain, if you are even aware it exists. The inmates, or Occupy Wall Street, or Black Lives Matter, would pick up your "unsubstantiated tautology" and beat you to death with it. Of course while it's happening you will be able to comfortably contemplate that "life is just a concept."

Cambridge MA City Councilor Speaks For Others Brings Change To Eliminate Violence From City

Councilor Benzan says, "We know that structural and institutional racism are real." Who are "we?" How does he know what others know? Benzan asserts "we know [. . .] that rates of poverty are tied to rates of violence." All poor people are violent criminals? Is that classism? He suggests "creating more opportunities for our residents of all ages." What people in Cambridge are prevented from opportunities? Benzan refers to a "culture of violence that plagues our neighborhoods." Which neighborhoods? When change ends "violence in our community forever," will police and courts become irrelevant?

[From letter]
We know that structural and institutional racism are real, and that rates of poverty are tied to rates of violence. But in addition to addressing these issues and creating more opportunities for our residents of all ages, we must also transform the culture of violence that plagues our neighborhoods – a cultural predicated on a fundamental lack of respect for human life.
Only when we create opportunities for our youth, address structural inequalities, and attack the culture of violence simultaneously will we be able to create the change we need to end violence in our community forever.

Updated: Gentle Woman On Trial For Shooting Lawyer Boyfriend Dead; Alleging He Called Her A Hillbilly.

Troubled: Poston's family described his relationship with Hubers,
left, as tumultuous and said that the 29-year-old was trying to end it

Don't know enough about this young lady. But my reaction is that she may have felt humiliated by this young man. Maybe he did consider her a hillbilly, and beneath him. It may be the same class difference (real or imagined) as between Travis Alexander and Jodi Arias. Many people have poor or low self esteem. The testimony in the Arias trial showed that she was devoted to Travis and wanted to marry him. He seemed to be treating her as his sex slave which she was willing to be. She just wanted to marry the guy. When  he expressed his disdain for her, she lost it and killed him. 

That is not to say she was justified in killing him. Nor was Jayna in this murder either. Just that it may explain why it happened, and that there is no method for bringing that into the trial. Classism is seldom discussed or mentioned when it comes to bias and discrimination. If these men had expressed their dislike for the women for being black or lesbians they might have been able to use that bias, hate speech, as justification for murder. "He insulted me. He called me a N-word." "He called me a hillbilly." and "He called me a cripple." do not work as easily.  

[From article]
The night that Ryan Poston was shot dead by his on-again, off-again girlfriend he was supposed to meet a former Miss Ohio 2012 beauty queen for a date, an Ohio court heard on Thursday.
Audrey Bolte, who also finished runner-up in Miss USA, told prosecutors she was looking forward to seeing Poston, 29, at a bar to play pool and drink on October 12, 2012, but he failed to arrive.
That was because Shayna Hubers had shot him six times at home - during which she allegedly 'cackled' with glee claimed a cellmate of the accused, who claims the 24-year-old confessed to her while behind bars.
[. . .]
Prosecutors allege that Hubers shot Poston because she was furious he was trying to break up with her.
Hubers, who was 21 at the time, denies murdering her lawyer boyfriend and claims she shot him in self-defense.
Her trial began on Monday and during that time, Hubers has been held at the Campbell County jail in Newport.
Her romer cellmate testified to the court that Hubers joked about the shooting and said she was going to get off all charges.
'Did she ever laugh?' Commonwealth's Attorney Michelle Snodgrass asked Cecily Miller according to Cincinnati.com.
'Oh, yes.'
'About what?'
'About shooting him in the face and giving him the nose job he always wanted,' said Miller. 'That's what bothered me – she cackled.'

 
Trial: Shayna Hubers attends her murder trail in Campbell, Ohio. Hubers is charged with murder in the shooting death of her boyfriend, Ryan Poston.

[. . .]
Also on the stand was Vernon West, who lived in the condo below Poston with his wife Doris.
They testified they returned home at around 8.30pm and heard a woman crying on a balcony above.
West said that she returned inside the home at around 8.50pm and then he heard two pops that at first he thought were fireworks and then four more and then a thud.
'The first two shots, I thought might have been fireworks,' Vernon West testified according to Cincinnati.com.
'But a few seconds later, I heard four shots, and I knew that wasn't fireworks.'
Vernon West also said that they did not hear a physical fight or arguing before the shots.
Hubers, who was 21 at the time, claimed she was acting in self-defense because the young attorney was shoving and hitting her, but during an interview with police she was quoted as telling a detective she gave Posten 'the nose job he wanted.'
On the first day of testimony Tuesday, jurors were shown a video of the defendant's interview with police following the slaying.
'He was screaming at me at the top of his lungs after he had thrown me around the room,' the woman told a detective sitting across from her, reported Cincinnati.com.
'I shot him enough times to kill him,' she said, 'so that he wouldn't suffer... He was laying there, twitching and making noises, and I shot him in the head.
'I was watching him die. it was painful to watch him die and to know that I had done that,' reported WCPO.
Hubers then described her late boyfriend of one year as 'vain' about his looks.
'I shot him right here,' she said in the video as she pointed to her nose. 'I gave him his nose job he wanted.'

[. . .]
'He said, 'You're just a hillbilly from Kentucky.' And I am. I guess the hillbilly came out in me, and I took up for myself,' she told police in the recording played in court.
[. . .]
Hubers graduated from Lexington's Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in 2009.
In the fall of 2010, she made the Dean's List at the University of Kentucky as a sophomore psychology major. Zevely said she is close with her parents, and her mother spent the day with her in Northern Kentucky prior to the shooting.

Poor UK Whites Fail Same As Poor U.S. Blacks

[From article]
What low-income whites in England and ghetto blacks in the United States have in common is a generations-long indoctrination in victimhood. The political left in both countries has, for more than half a century, maintained a steady and loud drumbeat of claims that the deck is stacked against those at the bottom.

Obama's Harvard Mentor

Harvard Law Professor Charles Ogletree is more than just an expert on race and politics. He is the ultimate authority on all issues of race at Harvard University and in Cambridge MA. He is the decider. Not expressly stated is what appears to be his main paradigm. Black Americans deserve priority over White Americans for high level jobs, and admission to elite universities. That the Black Americans who get these privileges are members of the upper class does not matter. That those who suffer under such policies are poor and had nothing to do with racism or slavery does not matter. It is simply a power and money grab by Black Americans using racism as the club and the excuse. Anyone who thinks that Black Americans are any different than White Americans, being greedy, mendacious and power hungry, are terribly misguided. It is all about money and power just as it is for White upper class, ruling class members. Even Black politicians who blindly supported Obama are beginning to wake up from their comas.

Educated Class vs. Dummies


"The educated class thinks that gun control can reduce crime. But over the last 15 years, crime rates have plummeted thanks to Rudy Giuliani-type police tactics and while 40 states have laws permitting law-abiding citizens to get licenses to carry concealed weapons.

"The educated class believes in global warming," Brooks notes. But ordinary Americans have been noticing that temperatures have not been rising in the last decade as climate scientists' models predicted, and they may have noticed those Climategate e-mails that show how climate scientists have been jiggering the statistics and suppressing opposing views.

On these issues the educated class is faith-based and the ordinary Americans who increasingly reject their views are fact-based, just as the Obama enthusiasts are motivated by style and the tea partiers by substance."
