#1 Useful idiot "Virtue Signaling" or desperate "Please eat me last" capitulation?

#2 Don't you wish you lived in Vermont?

They have Vermont values. What it really means to be a yankee.

#7 Nearly all of these police incidents or shootings have a couple of common denominators.

'Failure to follow police instructions and/or resisting arrest.'

My sympathy meter is pegged on zero.

#8 Yes, shooting at police is a felony, and felons are not supposed to own firearms.

Report: Charlotte’s Keith Scott Had History of Violence Including Arrest for Shooting At Police…

Posted on September 22, 2016 by sundance
According to a story in The Christian Times, who they claim verified with The Charlotte Observer, Keith Lamont Scott had a two decades long history of gun violence, including an arrest/conviction for shooting at police officers in Texas. The New York Times has previously reported on his troubled past but not the 2005 shooting at police incident:

(Via NYT) […] According to court records, Mr. Scott was born in South Carolina, was about six feet tall and weighed 230 to 250 pounds. While living in South Carolina in the 1990s, he was charged with a number of offenses including check fraud, aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon. Later, he moved to Texas where he shot and wounded a man in San Antonio in 2002, for which he was convicted and sentenced, in 2005, to seven years in prison. He was released in 2011. (link)

The Charlotte Observer also reported on Scott’s extensive criminal career –SEE HERE– and we did independently identify a criminal record in Texas – SEE HERE – which aligns with all of these reports.

#9 Don't forget..

The 'victims' were thugs with a long criminal history including resisting arrest, weapons violations, etc... They were not members of the local choir as the media would have you think...

The 'victims' were armed (if only with their fists), or attempting to take the officer's gun to become 'armed'.

#10 Well, when they started their "anti-zionism" on campus, we warned you that "first they come for the Jews". But did you listen?

#11 They have Vermont values.

Not Vermont values, Hemingway. The values of those further south, who came up for the fall leaf peeping and just wouldn't leave.

#12 Skimming the headlines, I read this as "Black Lies Matter".

#14 Using Heminway's logic, then, what happens in Atlanta should be Georgia and Southern values.

Imbecile.
