Keeping NYC Safe For Birdwatchers

NYC saw a shocking spike in shootings and killings over the 4th of July weekend but the Manhattan DA has kept his eye on the ball:

Amy Cooper, who called police on Black Central Park bird watcher, to be prosecuted, Manhattan DA says

Phew!

If Ms. Cooper gets an all-white Upper West Side jury she is toast - the prosecution will argue that only a racist could vote to acquit.

Back in Realityville, Mr. Cooper did threaten her dog and she will claim she had a reasonable fear of Bad Things About To Happen. Was her fear in fact reasonable, or motivated by her racist, hate-filled heart?

Well. If the DA wants to create a environment of "If you see something, say something, but don't mention the race of the alleged perp", this is the right track.

Were there dozens and dozens of attacks on white people as a result of NEGROES gone wild???
Pretty hard to convict her of a crime considering attackers haven't been charged in many many many many many many cases. She bared even injured Mr Bird Watcher.

Sorry about the double post.

[jimmyk]

Only the diseased mind of Cyrus Vance Jr could think this is a good use of the courts' scarce resources when murder and mayhem are skyrocketing.

As our host suggests, now we have to fear that if we report suspicious behavior that turns out to be innocent, we will be charged with a crime. Just like cops who use force when they judge it necessary will be charged with a crime by prosecutors with 20-20 hindsight. The end result, predictably, will be more murder and mayhem.

Chinese Media: World Thinks America Is a ‘Helpless, Underdeveloped Country’

The Global Times regularly proclaims the alleged supremacy of Chinese totalitarian rule over American-style free societies and declares America as an entity a failure. On Monday, it used the allegedly larger number of Chinese coronavirus cases in America to make the claim, although extensive evidence suggests that China has manipulated its testing and numbers to make its internal health crisis look less severe than it is in reality.

“The U.S. has been repeatedly shocking the world with its [Chinese coronavirus] data – It registered over 2.88 million infections and nearly 130,000 deaths as of press time,” the Global Times noted. “Many people are wondering what is wrong with the US. The self-proclaimed defender of human rights has attached no importance to human life.”

The column used the concept of “low human rights advantage,” which it did not define or explain in any way, to make the case that America is a failed state.

“The ragged veneer of human rights no longer covers the violations of human rights in the U.S. But many immoral American politicians continue to mislead the world by calling white black,” the column asserted, using nearly identical language to Chinese Foreign Ministry lackey screeds offered at daily press conferences. “Other countries have to think about the consequences they face from a Western country that uses low human rights as an advantage.”

“People from other countries now see the U.S. as a helpless underdeveloped country,” the Global Times concluded, again without offering any evidence – not even remarks from allied rogue states like North Korea and Iran.

‘Racist Drivel’: Conservative MP Cancels His BBC Licence over Racism Against White Women

In a promotional clip for BBC Sound’s No Country for Young Women podcast, the presenter, British Pakistani comedian Sadia Azmat, asked her two guests — both white women — ‘Chicken Shop Date’ Youtuber Amelia Dimoldenberg and feminist historian Dr Charlotte Riley from Southampton University: “How can white women not be Karens?”

Dimoldenberg replied: “Don’t be so loud. Stop shouting and stop attacking black voices. Instead, you should be uplifting them,”

Dr Riley added: “Get out of the way, basically.”

I also don't believe jerks like Cuomo or Whitmer or Newsome or all the mayors who've come to enjoy being tinpot dictators want to reduce the risk of infection, and they clearly don't want to maximize value to their communities or society at large.

Granted.

But that does get into double standard territory. Most of us are on the hook for mistakes we make on our jobs that harm somebody (and if we're not, our employers are and they don't get to dip into taxpayer funds to pay for the damages; and we will probably not be employed there for long if we cost our employer $100K in damages due to a mistake on our part).

But unless it's criminal, we usually aren't on the hook financially for something we mess up at work. So the standard would have to be Duke Lacrosse-level malfeasance. Otherwise, as Iggy says, prosecutors will be reluctant to charge even clearly guilty people who might get off through jury nullification or a technicality. And then we'd have the opposite problem of guilty people who get the double gift of getting off, plus getting "damages," like the Central Park 5 scum.
