I’m going to throw out a word I do not use often. Actually, I can’t remember the last time I used the word “cunt”. Sorry if I offend, but if anyone is deserving of the word it is Mrs. Coulter. I would link you to her interviews for her new book but I’m hoping if we just ignore the cunt she will go away. Nevertheless, her latest book (which will remain unnamed and unlinked here) makes a good point. She goes about it in a stupid, angry, race-baiting, prejudiced, immature, cunty way, but she manages to put some words together randomly and achieve relevance: we live in a society where people are too quick to see themselves as victims. Ann, feel free to long walk off a short pier and hug an octopus now.

I’m referring to the latest incident of a cop shooting an unarmed civilian in Oakland. Maybe you’ve seen the video, but I would recommend skipping the YouTube vids and go right to the news footage that shows the before AND after. The policeman looks obviously shocked at what happened. Was it an accident? Would even Harvey Keitel at his worst shoot someone in the back of the head in front of so many witnesses? Let’s not forget the policeman’s baby was born just two days before the incident. Man, I’ve been in that situation. Although the victim was technically resisting arrest, you have to question the use of a gun on an obviously non-threatening individual when there are several policemen to back you up. Was it fatigue? I do not claim to know – maybe the policeman had a history of violence.

Now people are pissed and rioting, laying waste to storefronts and cars. Nice – protesting violence with violence. Martin Luther King Jr. would be proud. But I’m not here to discuss how people release their anger. I broke my pinky finger punching a box when I was a teenager, and I have destroyed many Atari 2600 joysticks in my time. I’m not even here to question the fact that the shooter hasn’t even been punished yet. Shouldn’t the rioting be a reaction to that decision? But I digress.

No, I’m here to question the general consensus that the policeman was a racist motherf*cker and this is an obvious hate-driven “execution”. First of all, “execution” is a strong word. Nevermind that the policeman was not white. I really despise the term “hate crime”, because it is ludicrous. Why should my punishment be any different because I “hated” the person I killed because of race, gender, or sexuality? Did I crowbar that guy in the face because he failed to yield the right of way, or because he had a rainbow bumper sticker? I don’t understand why there is even a different category; this is just a case of spreading the victim mentality. If the policeman and victim had been clearly black, then what? My vague point is this: now that this crime is characterized as “hate-driven”, it can then be applied to all people of similar race, creed, class, etc. Hence the rioting and posturing by Al “who takes me seriously anymore?” Sharpton. What happened to “When a crime is committed it is how the society deals with that crime that matters most”? I guess we should just skip due process and shoot the policeman in the head.

Now that would be an execution.
