Not exactly sure why this was announced and presented today other than to put to rest the insufferable lies within the U-VA rape case which drew massive attention after the Rolling Stone article which choose not to fact check the story prior to selling it.

Charlottesville Police Chief Longo is arguably one of the most precariously proficient PC edge-walkers within law enforcement. He’s been the face of several high profile Charlottesville investigations including the Hannah Graham murder. Most recently Longo has been walking the PC tightrope in the U-VA student Martese Johnson nonsense.

However, today he had the dubious task of telling the world the U-VA rape case was a total hoax, a fraud, an intentionally constructed series of lies by a pathologically unstable female nutter.

Of course Longo couldn’t exactly say it that way (though at times it appeared to leak out) after all, we are talking about Northern Virginia – and the grand proximity to the liberal epicenter that is Washington DC and Marylandistan.

Somehow Longo -once again- successfully found a way to tap dance through the minefield of delicate liberal sensibilities and avoid the media pitfalls of calling a liberal liar a, well, liar. The non-victim -victim- was perhaps just misspeaking, probably – or something. (more…)

Oh, they’ll try to find some PC touchy-feely way to save face, but the reality it their business model was moments away from financial implosion. This comes as a surprise decision to, well, no-one. The reversal is effective “immediately”.

(AP) – According to a recently released internal memo, Starbucks baristas will no longer write “Race Together” on customers’ cups starting Sunday.

Starbucks spokesman Jim Olson says the campaign to create discussion on diversity and racial inequality will continue without the handwritten messages, which are phasing out as originally planned.

The memo from CEO Howard Schultz says the cups were always “just the catalyst” for a broader conversation and the company will still hold forum discussions, co-produce special sections in USA TODAY and put more stores in minority communities as part of the Race Together initiative. (more…)

A video showcasing the exploits and maneuvers of the farm league professional grievance class. I strongly urge you to watch the whole 11 minute video and then follow the links to the backstory.

This can be especially useful for those only recently connecting the dots, because this video aids in a larger understanding through the effective use of Madison Wisconsin as an example.

You know the Starbucks brand image consultants are either: rushing, or full-on moonbat stupid – when they hashtag name their cause “#Racetogether”.

This is, after all, a Social Justice Obama-era of social “ism’s” replete with little check boxes for you to mark your “privilege”, and views on “sexism” – and so forth.

Gender social issues have been advanced (by 3% of the population) to a status of priority just below the top tier, just below race, when the moonbats howl.  Remember also, from the brain of the campus rape culture narrative flag bearers – this is a big effen’ deal. So allow me to point out the Moonbattery of the Starbucks committee.

#Racetogether = Race-To-Get-Her. Starbucks is promoting the rape culture.

I digress. Here’s their handout:

When the #FTP and #BLM protestors create a disturbance, the police try to arrest the provocateurs.  The crowd then moves to keep the police from removing the agitator – a common scene in the anti-police movement.

(Via VICE) Ten people were arrested after protesters and police officers clashed during a Philadelphia community meeting on Thursday over the decision to clear officers involved in the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Brandon Tate-Brown during a traffic stop in December.

It has been said by those on the left that ridicule is a potent political weapon.

If that be a true intention or motive -and if that were the desire of the opposite political forces- the behavior of the U-VA students today could only be called ‘teeing themselves up’ for it.

Even the Washington Post, not exactly a right-minded media outlet, has trouble not injecting a pointed amount of ridicule (via humor) into their outline of today’s events.

The WaPo outlines a U-VA session today where students were invited to question local and state law enforcement about the arrest of Martese Johnson.

Don’t laugh too loud when you look at the poster of the students walking into the meeting and realize they must be psychic or something:

Boy they sure appear open-minded.

I digress. (more…)

The race-baiting media was giddy yesterday at the thought a Mississippi man found hanged near his home might have been a racially motivated lynching.

Hours of punditry were quickly dispatched through the airwaves to advocate toward a possible narrative.

Alas, it appears no more than a simple, yet horrible, suicide. (more…)

Within the construct of this “media report” out of Philadelphia a discerning person will note how it was quickly called “a robbery”, yet there is nothing factually -within the noted behavior- to suggest it was a robbery at all.

According to the initial report the victim cried out “Please don’t shoot me. Please Don’t shoot me”. And then the three “teens” shot him dead. It appears, perhaps out of discomfort, law enforcement and the media are assigning a motive of “robbery” merely because the arrested suspects claimed such a motive upon capture. 

Or did they?  Their described actions did not indicate the same intentions. You decide:

OVERBROOK Philadelphia (WPVI) — Police have announced charges against two 15-year-old boys in the murder of James Stuhlman, who was shot and killed while walking his dog in Philadelphia’s Overbrook section last week.

One of those boys remains at large, and is considered by police to be armed and dangerous. Police say they have in custody 15-year-old Brandon Smith. He has been charged with murder, robbery and related charges.

A warrant has been issued for 15-year-old Tyfine Hamilton – the alleged gunman. Hamilton is also charged with murder, robbery, and related offenses. Lesser charges are expected to be filed against a third boy, who is 14-years-old. (more…)

It’s official Day #2.  CNN has decided there is enough activity in the #Hashtag social justice movement for Martese Johnson; they are now entering the preliminary stages of broadcast narrative advancement.

Here’s the general tone from the Associated Press – Note the: “if we don’t get it shut it down” chant – which is the original chant created by Anthony Shahid, the primary Ferguson agitator.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Students at the University of Virginia are demanding justice for a student who was injured during an arrest and appears in a photo with a bloody face as he is being held down by an officer.

About 1,000 students showed up — more than expected, so the rally for Martese Johnson was moved several times, finally ending up at an outdoor amphitheater.

Many chanted: “If we don’t get it, shut it down!”

Several elements are needed to qualify as #hashtag worthy for the #F**kThePolice and “Black Lives Matter” movement.   At 4:21 am today the qualifications were once again met.

√ A liberal geography.
√ A professional victim class.
√ A community infected with political correctness.
√ A group of impressionable young minds to engage social media.
√ A snappy narrative like “Black Lives Matter” etc.
√ A narrative that doesn’t need actual facts to support the racial meme.
√ Pictures showing a well narrated victim.
√ Videos carefully edited to only show a victim profile.
√ Overwrought protestation to the municipal authority (college Prez).
√ Knee-jerk Municipal authority acquiescence.

If the Social Justice #Hashtag pitch doesn’t take hold (ie. Tony Robinson, Madison Wisconsin) – Just cue up the next victim: “Martese Johnson” (Charlottesville, Virginia).
