First they introduce a resolution to honor the judge who released the rapist, who then immediately tracked down his victim and killed her. Now they passed a bill reducing the "Assaulting a Police Officer" to a misdemeanor if the suspect is disabled in the process or the officer is not injured. This is the "Justice Reform" reason this special (out-of-cycle) legislative session was called. Q: How is it that suddenly all these states are "Woke" because of a couple of incidents on the other side of the nation? A: George Soros sure knows how to buy the best government possible.
Initially posted in the thread here regarding the woman who was raped then murdered. (Not an admonishment, we can't be everywhere!) The Democrats have offered a resolution titled Commending the Honorable Nolan Dawkins. (copy attached) He's retired now, and was the first "identity politics" to be put in various positions.
Yup. What disappoints me about this stuff is that it completely negates the progress we have made as a nation and the opportunities available. His qualifications notwithstanding, he did not self-appoint. All these opportunities to unite and celebrate, and they always get turned into more class identity stuff by the Left. Juxtapose that against Condaleza Rice (first black female Secretary of State under G.W. Bush) or Alberto Gonzales (Attorney General under G.W. Bush and the highest-ranking Hispanic American in executive government to date) and not one damned accolade was thrown. All that does is make the appointments of others (or recognition such as this) suspect. Those who purport to promote in reality only prostitute, to the detriment of all of us. It makes me sick.
Our governor seems to be doing the best he can to flatten the curve. He was in our city the other day handing out supplies (and advice). My only question is why is he a "half-masker" ? (that is one who does not place the mask over his nose). It seems to me that is a less than enviable example.
