No, my familty on my Mom’s side showed a few decades too late to be involved in any of that; but, I agree with her dad (my granddad) who refused a job offer over that line. And it wasn’t about north because he did work in Hibbing, and in the lower 48 there’s not all that much more north than Hibbing.
BLM totally ignored the FACT that almost every encounter where someone dies by a police officer, begins with the perp totally disobeying a direct order, escalating the situation where the officer’s life is in danger. They blamed it ALL on the police. Allow me to remind you, “hands up, don’t shoot”…promoting that Michael Brown was murdered by a police officer. BLM then promoted this, the media picked it up and many politicians also climbed on board stating…“defund the police”. This has stirred up an atmosphere of hate towards the police that many are acting out on.
At the root of these problems is that folks have been led to believe they are entitled on account of injuries suffered vicariously. They are grievance obsessed, in bondage to an ideology that only can increase the disfunctionalty in thier lives.
If there is a special tragedy for them, rather than those who have to put up with them, it is that only a relative few grievance hustlers can make a living from this self imposed misery. Most only suffer harm with no upside at all for them.
I’ll give you media, but you really think Lance Storz from Kentucky was influenced by BLM and Kamala Harris? You do know that people killed cops long before BLM formed and Harris became VP, right?
The article says he was lying in wait and totally prepared. This suggests forethought and premeditation so yes. That’s a lot of hate…so much so…he even shot and killed the dog.
Highland Park 4th of July shooting person of interest: Who is Robert Crimo?
Authorities have identified a potential person of interest in the Highland Park, Illinois, 4th of July parade shooting as 22-year-old Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo III.
Crimo is also known as “Awake the Rapper.”
IMDB describes Crimo as a “six foot Hip hop phenom” born on Sept. 20, 2000. “He’s the middle child of three and of Italian descent.”
Uh oh…
The rapper released a cryptic track called “Are You Awake” on Oct. 15, 2021. The track appears to suggest that Crimo was planning a life-defining act beyond his ability to stop. The video includes drawings of a man aiming a rifle at another person.
