Zusammenstöße, Georgia Tech Edition

So, a self-declared “non-binary” gender dissident, Scout Schultz, who is somehow affiliated with the LGBTTQQFAGPBDSM “movement” (and seemingly down with “The Struggle" on campus), walks around with a Leatherman knife menacing street pedestrians last evening, and the police are called.  

The police show up, and the subject (seemingly deranged) menaces the police and screams “shoot me”, and the police shoot and kill the subject as he approaches the cop.  Classic “Suicide by Cop”.  

Intrepid News Media report (CBS This Morning) the subject was holding a “tiny” pocket knife, and the cop is now being openly asked why he did not use non-lethal force on the subject wielding a ‘tiny' knife.  You know, Tazer the guy, or throw a net over him like they did before 1980.  Or pepper spray.  Or transactional analysis (TA) “I’m ok, you’re ok, fuzzy warm dynamic therapy.”    

The subject’s Facebook is festooned with Southern Poverty Law Center, Black Lives Matter, Atlanta Antifacists, It’s Going Down, and Metro Atlanta Democratic Socialists of America ‘likes' (the subject’s Facebook account has been subsequently suspended).  I’m all in for free speech; to afford fools the means to self identify.   

500 students get in touch with their inner feelz, and have a peaceful memorial, and a peaceful march to the police station.  Fine.  This is what the school system has produced.  ibid. - Free Speech   

Then, the Antifa “FIGHT BACK” banner waiving crowd appear to do some Ultraviolence, and torch a police cruiser, smash windows, and beat the Oppressor Cops of Georgia Tech.  

CBS This Morning covers Scout Schultz’s father, William Schultz, who was trotted out by yes-justice.com (which seems to be an ambulance-chasing race hustler organization, looking for a new gig) and sporting a greasy pony tail looking disheveled and unshaven but in a spiffy loaner sport coat, and and the father openly questions why the police shot his “obviously mentally deranged” son.  It is clear the fruit did not have far to fall from the tree.  

I had a sort of Robert Bergdhal (Bowe Bergdhal’s father) flashback moment.  You know.  Kinda' like when you throw up a little in your mouth.  

Unlike in Baltimore, Berkeley and Charlottesville, where the leadership ordered police to “stand down” to allow the “justice involved youth” some 'room to burn' (which I call Verbrennungraum Zusammenstöße), the rednecks in Georgia clamp down on the violent protest and make arrests.   

So, it’s all the fault of the cis-heteronormative bigoted Police that Scout Schultz is dead.  Lawsuits ensue.  

Welcome to Weimar America.
