It appears more and more that whenever a non-white person gets killed while doing something illegal, that person immediately turns into a saint, a martyr and a model of society. But when it happens to a white person it is just a short news item if at all.
During my working years I did use the subway every day. I came across all kind of savory and non-savory characters. Many a times I wished I could have smacked that person but I am not the fighting type. This ex-marine had enough of this constant annoyance and stepped up. He did what he was taught to do in the military, and in the process he protected his fellow subway travelers from that homeless person's violent behavior.
Now, he is being crucified for that heroic act. In 1984 Bernie Getz shot four black men on the subway in self defense because he was convinced that they were about to mug him. For this he was convicted on various charges. It appears that self-defense is only applicable within certain color limitations. The certain public opinions would rather accept victims than survivors of such attacks.
The person wo unfortunately died as the result of a chokehold was homeless, had mental problems, had several arrests and was menacing the passengers.
Where was the City when he needed help? Where was his "loving" family when he needed help? Does his family looking at this event for a chance to enrich themselves? Will he join the long list of such victims for "sainthood"? Because every one of them, regardless of police records were shown as pillars of society and the best family men the world could hope for.
I hate to see all these liberal demonstrators, whites and blacks demanding justice. Where were they when help was needed? Where was good old Sharpton when help was needed? Probably home counting his money.
Good country, America?
