Monday Schadenfreude: Chesa Boudin gets religion on shoplifting

Monica Showalter   "There's nothing like a smarmy, smug leftist who's realized he's cooked his own goose.

"That brings us to the case of Chesa Boudin, the district attorney of San Francisco, who's effectively legalized shoplifting in the name of "criminal justice reform."  He's prompted massive store closures with ugly videos of broad-daylight robberies on large and small stores.  Boudin's refusal to prosecute has turned San Francisco into another socialist crime pit, Caracas.  And now, like his mentor Hugo Chávez, he's facing a voter recall.

"This seems to be concentrating his mind, given that he's suddenly changing his tune — and comically enough, fooling no one.

"Here's his tweet condemning the brazen open-air robbery on the Louis Vuitton boutique on tony Union Square:" . . .

At first glance I thought this was people knocked to the ground.
Reality: Louis Vuitton was cleared out by robbers Friday night.
I passed Burberry where about a dozen maybe more were starting to vandalize/break in.

Boudin

"To return to Chesa's tweet, well, that doesn't sound like the Chesa we know, perpetually blaming poverty and racism for this kind of crime, yakking on about "ending incarceration" and the "prison industrial complex."  He does his part to advance "social justice" by refusing to prosecute perpetrators.  What's happened, though, is that small perpetrators have grown into monsters, organized thievery rings, and they are expanding operations.  Around the time Union Square was emptied out, organized thieves targeted the Walnut Creek Nordstrom,
which I know since I've shopped there myself, is an easy BART trip away. 

"Here's the other thing: Boudin has up until now stated that he's letting the little guys go so he can focus on taking down the big guys, the organized crime rings, kind of the same way Joe Biden says his ICE will take down only organized human-smuggling rings and ignore individual illegals.

"How's that going?  . . ."

Waukesha Suspect Darrell Brooks Jr. Made Rap Songs Ranting Against Trump, White Supremacy

Breitbart

"Darrell E. Brooks Jr., the suspect charged with five counts of homicide in Sunday’s Waukesha Christmas parade massacre, appears to have posted several politically charged songs online under the name “Mathboi Fly,” according to several reports.

Multiple outlets, including the Sun and Heavy, have connected Brooks to Mathboi Fly music videos, matching his appearance to mugshots and other social media photos of the 39-year-old Milwaukee man. The YouTube channel hosting those videos has now been deleted. A Soundcloud profile under the same artist’s name is still accessible.

Brooks uploaded a song titled “X” to Soundcloud three years ago. The song opens with a quote from Malcolm X, saying, “I think it would take a whole lot of nerve for white people today to ask negros do they hate them.” The next lyric from Brooks after the Malcolm X quote is “yeah.' ” . . .

Report: Waukesha Parade Massacre Suspect Darrell Brooks Jr. Accused of Running Over Woman Weeks Ago  "Darrell Brooks called himself a terrorist in his rap songs and rapped about his hate for white people. Praised black nationalism and violence against whites on his social media. This will all be censored on msm ."

"Acosta’s rage comes after historic declines in ratings for the company.

“ 'It’s that time of the year, the days are getting shorter, it’s cold outside — it’s also when we start looking back at the past year,” Acosta began. “And what a year it was over on Fox — or, as I’ve described it this year, the bullsh*t factory. Just in the last week, they’ve churned out so much BS it’s hard to keep up.”

"After playing out-of-context clips from Laura Ingraham and Jesse Watters, Acosta turned his focus to the most popular name in cable tv – Tucker Carlson.

“We once honored you with the distinction of bullsh*t factory employee of the month,” he said of Carlson. “But now that 2021 is coming to an end, we decided to honor you as our first-ever BS factory employee of the year,” Acosta continued.

WATCH: Whoopi Goldberg Opens Herself Up For Defamation Lawsuit After Calling Rittenhouse “Murderer”

Kyle Rittenhouse's message for President Biden: 'Understand the facts before you make a statement'

 Rittenhouse’s attorney Mark Richards has blastedYahooconservative politicians looking to profit off his client. 

Yahoo   . . ."Rittenhouse’s attorney Mark Richards has blasted news sites like CNN and MSNBC for what he claims is a distorted image of Rittenhouse as well conservative politicians looking to profit off his client. 

" 'Carlson asked if he plans to “hold some of these liars to account.”

"“I have really good lawyers who are taking care of that right now,” Rittenhouse said. “So I’m hoping one day there will be some — there will be accountability for their actions that they did.”. . .

Tucker Carlson’s interview with Kyle Rittenhouse is fascinating 

 ..."By the way, regarding any defamation actions Rittenhouse does bring, some are suggesting that he’s a public figure which, under New York Times v. Sullivan, makes it virtually impossible for him to prevail. In essence, the defense to such a suit would be that, once the media and the Democrat political class made an unwilling Rittenhouse famous, they insulated themselves from a lawsuit. That argument perfectly fits the classic definition of the Yiddish word “chutzpah”—the man who kills both his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the court because he’s an orphan."...  By Andrea Widburg

Why do leftists believe such obvious falsehoods in the case of Kyle Rittenhouse?

 . . ."But narratives have purposes, and the audience for them is not those who are objective or rational.  The audience is those who possess a will to act, and for whom "make-believe plays perhaps a more enduring role than any other factor."   Once people have been stirred to act, particularly if the act involves spectacle or is shocking, the movement appears larger and more significant than it actually is."Myths and narratives should not be dismissed simply because they are untrue or easily disproven.  They are intended to inspire people to act, and often act in dangerous and unpredictable ways.". . .

In Rittenhouse case, truth in the crosshairs, press objectivity be damned   . . ."No honest person with an I.Q. greater than that of an eggplant can deny this any longer."

CBS' 'Face the Nation' corrects claim Rittenhouse crossed state lines while armed: 'Oversight in language'

Please Stop Trusting Anything The Mainstream Media ‘Report’

 Our hope is that we’re nearing rock bottom, if not already there, and a new day of objective journalism is at hand. If not, our country and our world are just going to grow darker.

Issues & Insights

"America’s mainstream, or legacy, media have an agenda. It’s not to subjectively report the truth but to further leftist ideas and policies, all of which are toxic. The press’ disinformation campaign to prop up critical race theory is yet another example of its effort to deceive, manipulate, and divide on behalf of the party it is constantly shilling for.

"A new study from the American Enterprise Institute found the media focus on schools teaching the history of slavery and racism, and largely ignore the “bedrock assumptions of CRT, including its explicit rejection of rationality and objectivity.”

"AEI’s Frederick M. Hess “examined all news accounts addressing CRT published over a one-year period by four major newspapers (the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today),” and several “influential education press outlets.” All are news accounts. None are opinion pieces.

“ 'Given that this admittedly revolutionary worldview is what motivates many objections to CRT-influenced pedagogy, one would expect news accounts to routinely address it,” Hess writes in “Media’s Misleading Portrayal of the Fight over Critical Race Theory.” . . .
