Remember Michael Moore's highlight of brownmanshirts? I am very much like a lone wolf on the outskirts, trying to reign in contributors like John Lewis and Michael himself, writing previously that Garner's arrest and Brown's death wasn't racially motivated. I wonder if Lewis thinks Brinsley's actions were a proportional response. I grew up in a law and order family, have a Protestant uncle who was chief of detectives, the uncle who inconvenienced himself enough to play human shield the last time in our lives Linda and I would have any further exchange with each other, and you won't see any sympathizers for authority calling for proportional retribution. I'm angry, and want the blood of my enemies, but not so decelerated not to perceive that this kind of anarchy destroys the fabric of human decency altogether. I'd like to remind the left that I was with them on Zimmerman's killing of Trayvon-- because George's judgment was skewered by an overactive social fear, but I took equal umbrage at Jonathan Capehart's pandering to his identity base when Zimmerman garnished one last gasp in the news cycle, with his ethereal scapegoat notoriety.
The left has had absolutely nothing to say about the black racism I have been subjected to as a disabled woman, with Trudy Richardson and Debra Horne hiding behind regulatory authority. Zip. I'd certainly like to see Moore turn his camera on the black intolerance I've lived with, overt and otherwise, coupled with seniors convictions that the disabled shouldn't live among them.
That won't happen, of course; I need a space to mourn such senselessness, that the left cannot see the difference between unexpectedly negative outcomes and something so ruthlessly premeditated as Brinsley's act. I cannot wait until Eric Holder is recycled to the former attorney general contact list on Gwen Ifill's scanner.
