It happened in February in Florida.
It happened again in March in Kansas City.
It happened again in April In Washington DC.
The PC Media just can’t bring themselves to write the actual name of the event.   It was officially called “African American Family Day” at the National Zoo; with free entrance from 10am -to- 4pm.

Wednesday, the Woodley Park community met with police and city leaders to discuss the shootings, safety, and the annual African-American Family Day at the zoo, which has become a place for youth to commit crimes in recent years

Given recent events, and considering how the institutional left claims a desire to want “that” racial conversation – yet factually do everything in their power to avoid actually having “that conversation” – lets look at how the event was described in the Politically Correct Media Empire as they were reporting on the DC Zoo violence.
Huffington Post:

Two men were shot Monday afternoon in the midst of a knot of people on Connecticut Avenue NW near the National Zoo, site of an annual Easter event that drew thousands of people over the course of the day.  (link)

Many people are pointing out how Sean Hannity has reacted to the Cliven Bundy comments.   Indeed, arguably – Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck have espoused two of the loudest and angriest responses to the comments from Cliven Bundy.
Or are they ?
Are they, Beck and Hannity, responding to the Bundy comments, or are they responding to the New York Times and Media Matters presentation of the Bundy comments ?    I think the latter, but I digress.   Check it out yourself:

There is an intellectual dishonesty at play here.   But why ?   Perhaps because Hannity likes to emotionally swing for the fence on every at bat ?   Perhaps because Hannitys’ show has been suffering in the ratings  ?   Perhaps because he was moved to a new TV hour and a joyful Megyn Kelly is simply CRUSHING HIM (and all others BTW) ?
Or, perhaps, at least from my own perspective, it’s because the constant stress in Hannity’s presentation is like watching Gary Busey eat an ice-cream cone amid a McDonalds playball pit.    Nerve wracking, stressful, stupidly sweaty, unable to sit still, constantly shouting – Busey always comes off like he’s peaking amid a serious dose of amphetamines.   I can’t watch his acting either because I always feel stressed out while sitting on the couch.
Perhaps Hannity is caught in the quicksand of a downward personality where the more you thrash the quicker you sink.   Shouting doesn’t help. (more…)

If a riot breaks out, and no-one talks about it, did it actually take place ?

DC Police won’t talk about it.   DC Media won’t report on it.   It does not fit the currently allowed narrative.   However, it did happen….

Hey @DCPoliceDept – what was huge crowd of teens near Foggy Bottom Metro 7pm tonight? Saw MPD respond. Rumor is robbery flash mob.

 …..and failing to recognize the existence of crime does not protect you from it.

The only reporting on the event comes from the student newspaper at George Washington University.    Move along, move along folks…. nothing to see here…. move along.
WASHINGTON DC – The Metropolitan Police Department responded to a mob of 60 young people who were jumping on cars and vandalizing the area near the Watergate complex Monday, according to its public information office. (more…)

While the Obama administration did not file a brief in the case, Attorney General Eric Holder today praised Justice Sotomayor’s “courageous and personal dissent” in Schuette v. BAMN, yesterday’s decision upholding the right of Michigan voters to ban racial preferences in public university admissions. Holder’s remarks were, naturally, given at the Justice Department’s “Diversity and Inclusion Speaker Series.”   (read more)

This shouldn’t really come as a surprise.    Justice  Sotomayor is ideologically blinded by… and define herself primarily by…  “race”.    She sees the world through the prism of race first and all other aspects second.    In President Obama’s life – “affirmative action” is the only reason a man of average grade and moderate intellect would be considered for Harvard and the HLR.  Obama makes this admission in his letter to the editor.
(WASHINGTON) — In a dissent to Tuesday’s Supreme Court ruling upholding Michigan’s voter-approved ban on affirmative action programs in its public colleges, Justice Sonia Sotomayor speaks from experience about the complex impact of such programs on her own life.
Sotomayor’s 58-page dissent, joined by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, has one theme: Race matters.
Sotomayor notes that voters in Michigan could have used other means to eliminate the use of race-sensitive admissions policies.
“They could have persuaded existing board members to change their minds through individual or grassroots lobbying efforts, or through general public awareness campaigns,” she says. “Or they could have mobilized efforts to vote uncooperative board members out of office, replacing them with members who would share their desire to abolish race-sensitive admissions policies.” […] (more…)

[…] relatives of the accused men sat directly behind them in three rows. There were deep sighs, sobbing and muffled utterances of “liar” during the testimony. Some spectators were ejected by sheriff’s deputies.

DETROIT — Four men accused of punching and kicking a motorist who accidentally struck a 10-year-old Detroit boy were ordered Monday to stand trial on attempted murder charges, after a judge reviewed their statements to police and witnesses testified about the chaotic mob attack.

As Steve Utash continued to recover in a hospital bed, Judge Thomas Jackson found probable cause to move the case to trial in Wayne County Circuit Court.

Prosecutor Lisa Lindsey introduced statements to police from Latrez Cummings, 19, James Davis, 24, and Wonzey Saffold, 30, all acknowledging a role in the April 2 attack. They were ordered to trial, along with Bruce Wimbush Jr., 17, who waived the hearing.

Something optically devastating is looming on the Chicago skyline, and it looks remarkably like Detroit 2.0.

CNN has been running a network series “Chicago”.   They’ve been trying to frame an apologetic and sympathetic narrative around former White House Chief of Staff and current Chicago Mayor, Rahm Emanuel.     They couldn’t have picked a worse time to try and sell the propaganda. 
In what can only be called ‘grandiose irony’,  facts on the ground run counter to the CNN narrative.   So much so, that Chicago is becoming a parody of itself.   The educational system is collapsing with unions entrenched in budgetary battles demanding more and more graft while students fail at astonishing rates.   Constructs of society are collapsing and crime, violent crime, is increasing exponentially;  spurred on by violent gang activity, and it’s spreading.   
Easter weekend 44 people shot, 8 dead, and no-one is brave enough to actually discuss the root cause.   The politically correct talking points don’t let you dare point out the fatherless wild thugs running amuck.   Families who do believe in the strength of a two parent household are fleeing the metropolis for safer life elsewhere.  
Chicago, the self described home of President Obama, where he never visits, is dangerously close to becoming a political liability; and if there’s one thing this White House excels at – it’s controlling political risk.    Chicago is another petri-dish for the dangerous consequences of Democrat social engineering to gain publicity.
Subsequently….   HERE COME The FEDS !!  Or more accurately, HERE COME THE STORM TROOPERS !!
CHICAGO – The federal government is offering help to the city of Chicago in the fight to end violence in the streets. The special section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office will target drugs and guns.

A couple of thoughts before the article.   First, it’s good to see some independent analysts openly reminding people the Inmarsat data was symmetrical not directional.   Meaning the ‘handshakes’ with the satellite could have happened on either Northern or Southern arcs.    Beyond guessing, and apart from the detected 4 pings, there is no empirical evidence to suggest the flight headed South.
Secondly, the search area identified by the Towed Ping Locator, which identified four signals they thought were MH370 black boxes,  has now been completely searched, no plane.    From the location of the 1st signal to the location of the 4th signal (North and South, East and West) the entire ‘ping-grid’ per se’, has now been swept by sonar imaging and they have found nothing.

The ruling was 6-2 with only a Sotomayor splodey’….

Washington (CNN) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a Michigan law banning the use of racial criteria in college admissions, a key decision in an unfolding legal and political battle nationally over affirmative action.

The justices found 6-2 that a lower court did not have the authority to set aside the measure approved in a 2006 referendum supported by 58% of voters.

It bars publicly funded colleges from granting “preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.”

Justice Sonia Sotomayor reacted sharply in disagreeing with the decision. (more…)
