The real Evil in Charlotte

Keith Lamont Scott was scum.
He
had been convicted of assault with a deadly weapon
in two different states and convicted of assault in
three states. He had been hit with “assault with
intent to kill” charges in the 90s. His record of
virtue included “assault on a child under 12” and
“assault on a female.”
Scott's wife had taken out a restraining order
against him and warned that he was dangerous because
he carried a gun.
The media spin; “Family and neighbors call Scott a
quiet ‘family man.’”
Nothing says “quiet” like “assault with a deadly
weapon with intent to kill” and nothing says “family
man” like assaulting women and children.
Keith Lamont Scott, the latest martyr of Black Lives
Matter and its media propaganda corps, was shot
while waving a gun around. He had spent 7 years in
jail for “aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.”
This vicious monster’s career of crime ended when he
was shot by Brentley Vinson, an African-American
police officer, protecting himself from the latest
rampage by this “quiet family man.”
Brentley Vinson is everything that Scott isn’t. The
son of a police officer, Brentley dreamed of
following in his father’s footsteps. He used to
organize his football team’s bible studies and
mentored younger players. Former teammates describe
him as a “great guy” with “good morals.” His former
coach calls him a “natural leader” and says that,
“We need more Brent Vinsons… in our communities.”
Except that Obama, Black Lives Matter, the media,
the NAACP and everyone else going after this bright
and decent African-American officer has decided that
what we really need are more Keith Lamont Scotts.
And the streets of Charlotte are full of “Scotts”
throwing rocks at police, assaulting reporters and
wrecking everything in sight in marches that are as
“peaceful” as Scott was a “quiet family man.”
That’s what Hillary Clinton wanted when she tweeted
that, “We have two names to add to a long list of
African-Americans killed by police officers. It’s
unbearable, and it needs to become intolerable.”
What exactly should be intolerable? An
African-American police officer defending his life
against a violent criminal who happened to be black?
Should black criminals enjoy a special immunity? The
greatest victims of black criminals are black
communities.
Whom does Hillary Clinton imagine she’s helping
here? Instead of standing with heroic
African-American police officers like Vinson, she’s
championing criminal scum like Scott.
Tim Kaine, Hillary’s No. 2, wants us to think about
Scott’s family. We should do that. Scott’s brother
announced on camera that all “white people” are
“devils.” Timmy should check to see if he can get an
exemption from white devildom. But if there are any
white devils, it’s men like Kaine and women like
Hillary who enable the worst behavior in a troubled
community while punishing those who try to help.
Every time the lie about “peaceful” protests is
repeated, another black community becomes unlivable.
Twenty police officers have been injured and
National Guard troops have arrived to deal with all
those “peaceful” protests. Protesters chanted,
“Black Lives Matter” and “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”
before throwing things at police and then peacefully
shooting each other. Stores had their windows broken
and decorated with Black Lives Matter graffiti. A
Walmart was peacefully looted and trucks were
torched.
A police officer was peacefully hit by a car.
Another was peacefully hit in the face with a rock.
Mobs besieged and attempted to break into hotels.
Reporters were attacked and a photographer was
nearly thrown into a fire. White people were
targeted by the racist Black Lives Matter mob and
assaulted.
But all these peaceful rioters are probably just
quiet family men too.
The peaceful protests are as big a lie as the
“bookish” Keith Lamont Scott reading a book in his
car. Police had no trouble finding a gun. They
couldn’t have found Scott anywhere near a book. The
only thing he could have done with a book is try to
beat someone to death with it. Maybe a child.
Scott wasn’t a quiet family man; he was a violent
criminal with a horrifying vicious streak. He and
the rest of the Black Lives Matter rioters remind us
of the monsters that we need dedicated police
officers to protect us from.
The spin on what happened between a deranged black
criminal and a courageous black police officer fell
apart as fast as the Freddie Gray case, where black
police officers were targeted and a city terrorized
over conspiracy theories relating to the accidental
death of a drug dealer.
The claims of racism are absurd. Not only was Scott
shot by an African-American police officer, but
Charlotte Police Chief Kerr Putney, who has taken
the lead in defending him, is also African-American.
Are we supposed to believe that an African-American
police officer and an African-American police chief
are racists or that these two black men took the
lead in a genocidal conspiracy to kill black men?
That’s the laughable premise of the racist Black
Lives Matter hatefest that alternates between “Stop
killing us” street theater and violent assaults on
police officers, reporters and anyone in the area.
But the truth doesn’t matter. Black Lives Matter
rioters are still chanting, “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”
long after the Michael Brown lie fell apart. They’re
holding up signs reading, “It Was a Book.” The lie
is backed by some of the biggest media corporations
in the country, by $130 million from George Soros
and the Ford Foundation, by Barack Hussein Obama and
by Hillary Clinton.
These are the malign forces destroying Charlotte, as
they trashed Baltimore. On the ground there are the
vulture community organizers of Black Lives Matter,
funded by the left, who parachute in to organize
race riots, behind them are the reporters who sell
the spin live on the air and the photographers who
capture glamor shots of the racist rioters, and
after them come the lawyers of the DOJ out to ruin,
terrorize and intimidate whatever law enforcement
survived the riots.
They did it in Ferguson and a dozen other places.
Now they want to do it in Charlotte.
They want to do it because they hate white people
and black people. They hate peace and decency. They
hate the idea of people getting up in the morning
and working for a living. They hate the idea of good
officers, white and black men and women, like
Brentley Vinson, who genuinely believe in doing the
right thing. They want unearned power. They demand
unearned wealth. And they thrive on destruction.
This is the real evil in Charlotte. And we need to
stand up to it. From the ghetto to the manors of the
liberal elite from burning cars to pricey
restaurants in exclusive neighborhoods, it plots
against us.
It is a lie repeated a million times. Sometimes the
lie is simple. Other times it’s sophisticated. But
the way to fight it is to begin with the truth.
The truth is that Keith Lamont Scott was a violent
criminal who came to a bad end because of his own
actions. Just like Michael Brown, Freddie Gray and
too many other Black Lives Matter martyrs to count.
The truth is that everything Black Lives Matter does
reminds us of why we need police officers.
The truth is that this is not about race, but about
those who want to build and those who want to
destroy. It’s about the difference between Brentley
Vinson and Keith Lamont Scott.
It’s about what kind of country we want to be. Is it
a country that celebrates a young black football
player who chose to follow in his father’s
footsteps, who organized bible study and helped
others, who risked his life to keep other people
safe. Or is it one that celebrates Keith Lamont
Scott, who assaulted a woman, a child and anyone
else he could get at, who terrorized three states
and died as he lived.
Obama and the left want a nation of Keith Lamont
Scotts. But now it’s our turn to choose.
