Ah, the blathering continues - just peruse those comments.
I wish it were harder to believe that there are so many ignorant liberals in the world, talking about things they do not understand. Strange, since they insist that liberalism is somehow an intelligent philosophy, more evolved than the common folk. Sad thing is I have been, for most of my life, a liberal (in academics, no less), so I know how they are about being smarter than everyone else. But being liberal never meant being ignorant to me. But as liberals have changed, so have I.
It is good to see - although it will not be accepted because it is counter to the popular narrative - that there is at least some counter-analysis of the events in McKinney.
Look - let's try to get some perspective here.
1. This is a diverse community - and a diverse crowd of teens. Yes, we know - everything has to be about race - if it wasn't then no one would care. After all "Black lives matter!" - apparently more than others (what a pitiful idea). Many of those from the neighborhood whose comments are noted at the "conservative" website are diverse community members. It is also clear that the pool is a private area, not open to the public, certainly not without permission. It is also clear that this incident did not start when the LEO arrived on scene. LE was called by community security.
2. Of course, there are liberal voices who will refuse to accept any other conclusion than racism. You will notice that the reactions to this differ greatly whether one lives in the neighborhood in question or somewhere else where this has not happened yet. I suspect that, when the "pool party" comes to some liberals' lilly-white neighborhood (of course, if it is them it is not racist) they may call LE and change their tune. Since when is a neighborhood not allowed to have standards for behavior and allowed to control its environment, regardless of the race of those involved?
It has been said numerous times, but I guess there is nothing like experience to reach and teach people. But I will say it again anyway, just so I can say "told you so" when it happens.
All of those who examine the totality of this situation and can only see an LEO who over-reacted, who see a group of wonderful teen-aged cherubs who were doing nothing wrong, had better start arming up. Believe me, you are creating a teen generation that will grow into a young adult generation that does not believe the rules apply to them (that is, they can do what they want and be accommodated), that there is no authority that can hold them responsible for following the rules, and who feel no great compunction at assaulting anyone who attempts to confront them. They do not respect rules or property. I was a rowdy teen, but when LE told me what to do, whether I liked it or them or not, I did it. The idea of attacking an LE would not have occurred.
You are creating this - by absolving them of any responsibility for their own behavior; none of this was their fault. By, after it happens, insisting that it was not fair to them to ask them to follow the rules, to do as they are told. You are telling them that their actions were acceptable. This is what you have told them about Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. You have told them that no one has the right to hold them accountable for heir behavior. You have told them that the neighborhood has no right to make their property private, to control access to it, that there is not private property, it is all community property. The security guards have no right to eject them, and no right to expect that LE will come do its job. LE has no right to serve the public who pay for their protection, no right to enforce law. Your think they will love you for it.
Folks, some day this is going to come to your neighborhood, a gang of teens is going to decide it is their neighborhood, your stuff is their stuff, and if you decide to intervene, you will certainly be assaulted and potentially raped and killed. Because you are a liberal you will likely be totally unprepared for this, you will likely come out to meet a diverse group of a hundred teens thinking that you can reason with them, hug them, sing kumbaya with them, commiserate with them about the unfairness in society and their maltreatment by LE. You might even give them your stuff as reparations for all of their perceived wrongs and all will go well. It will not.
You might, when all that fails, call 911, having finally realized the value of LE. Of course, by then, LE will have been cowed into a role where the best options they have will be harsh language (but not too harsh, since that might be rude). Chances are that they will not respond at all, they will likely be under-staffed, as most of them will have moved on to other work that is both less dangerous and less likely to get them prosecuted for doing what is asked of them. You see, you can't call and ask them to protect you if you will not let them protect themselves as well. We can already see examples of this in cities where they have been vilified for trying to do their jobs. (This is not unlike the way we have treated our warriors - fight a war but don't hurt people - and veterans; good luck finding a new group of them). It is funny how, when looking at the complete picture, some people are aghast at how those tasked to protect them act instead of dismayed at the behavior of our teens.
So, friends, you are likely to find yourself on your own when the pool party finds its way to your neighborhood. The cherubs you so zealously defend will be taking your stuff and if you are lucky, you may be alive to watch - or maybe not so lucky since you will likely have been raped and watched your children raped. And, believe me, given the choice of coming for my stuff or yours, they will be coming for yours, because many of them will die trying to get to mine. At my castle, they will meet surprise, speed and violence of action. You will be on your own.
Dark Paradise - one you chose to create. Best draw out your chalk outline now so you know where to fall.
