The Antifa Taliban who are everywhere shouting at the top of
their lungs for the defunding of police departments should take a look at South
Philadelphia where two groups of demonstrators clashed over a statue of
Christopher Columbus who sailed for
Spain and made a pathway to the New World.
The city of Philadelphia had already taken down a statue of
former mayor Frank Rizzo, a staunch and strong-armed law and order man. Columbus statues were recently toppled or
taken down in Camden, NJ and in Wilmington, Delaware. Now there were protestors demanding that the
Christopher Columbus statue in South Philadelphia’s Marconi Park be
taken down.
Only problem was that
surrounding the statue was a determined crowd of South Philadelphians who want to
keep the statue where it has been for decades. When the anti-Columbus crowd
grew increasingly frustrated at not being able to get near enough to topple the
statue or vandalize it, they surged
forward and were met with. . . well, shell I say overzealous indignation?
Yes, well a few of the antifa-BLM demonstrators did get
roughed up, none badly, perhaps a bit of South Philly detuning. The news here is not protest but that there
were present at Marconi Park an alleged forty police officers who, following
directives from on high, did not
interfere with the rude exchange of opinion.
There was one chubby fellow crying that the
police “did nothing” and “should have helped us” and so forth. There was a young female college student who
also testified to the lack of action on the part of the police. But while Columbus’ defenders were as angry and vocal as the madding crowd, it was a
minor dustup. The conflict was about as vigorous as a schoolyard fight amongst third
graders.
Still, this nameless naïve person whom shall be referred to
as “Chubby Boy” or perhaps “Chubby White Nerd” was absolutely astonished he got
the bum’s rush by a Columbus defender.
He should really bring his outrage to the mayors of at least a dozen
cities who are calling or taking calls for
the abolishment and/or “defunding” of police departments a la CHAZ – the
Seattle looney-bin acreage where cops abandoned their precinct under orders
from the Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan. The
message of the official panderers like Durkan is “don’t escalate” and those
were the orders also given by some unnamed official in Philadelphia. But
apparently following even those instructions, the after-market quarterbacking
resulted in one police leader being fired.
The hypocrisy is fairly typical of the “defund” crowd. They don’t support police until they need
them. And when someone else does need them they do their best to hinder
officers from doing their job.
Yes, we
know there are some bad actors among police ranks but overall those are
statistically insignificant. Most American cops are good-willing, of good characters,
and devoted to keeping people like Chubby Boy (mentioned above) safe. Anyone who doesn't understand this should try their antics and complaints in other countries -- Argentina, Russia maybe? See what happens when you throw bricks or paint on a cop.
Surprising as it may be, there are still people with a
deeper understanding of the unusual challenges and hurdles police face today .
