How did I miss the third anniversary of George Floyd’s death? Were the media caught sleeping? Three years ago, Floyd was given funerals in three states, carried in a gold casket and driven to his final resting place in a horse-drawn carriage. It was like the funeral for a pharaoh.
I'll never forget Joe Biden's deeply felt eulogy: "George Floyd was the first mainstream African-American who was articulate, bright, clean, and a nice-looking guy."
A spectacular column, Ann! I find it curious that one of so many information sources the legacy media has steadfastly refused to avail itself of, at least publicly, are law enforcement officers. One would think that with the (apparent) focus of police being to hunt down and murder black people for no reason other than to allow the Officer's Inner Klansman to run free, they might be interested in actually doing some investigative journalism and FIND this supposed hotbed of murderous boys in blue that they want black people to be so terrified of. One might assume either that they have looked into it, but the police are SO VERY SNEAKY that they remain undetected! OR, it could be that they found a different answer entirely than the one they were hoping to find...that the vast majority of Officers are decent people who went into law enforcement as a career not because they wanted to hunt down and murder black people but because they wanted to make the world a better place by providing safety and security for law-abiding people by enforcing the law justly and professionally.
Too bad the constant hammering they're receiving from City Councils, Mayors and every other strata of political demon is making so many of the best, most experienced Officers wish they had chosen a different career.
The Summer Of Floyd taught us all many things, none of them good. It reinforced how little regard legacy media 'reporters' have for anything approaching journalistic standards, and for the rest of us it forced a habit to become even more commonplace...always be heavily armed. Always.
Speaking of "The Talk," might I suggest readers also check out "The Talk: Nonblack Version" by John Derbyshire. I believe Ann mentioned this column somewhere previously and that's how I discovered it. But wow was it prescient. In today's society white people are told to suppress all instincts and ignore any suspicions they have of strangers, lest they be black.
I'd also recommend Ann's column "Don't be a Karen. Be a Becky!" (which came out in the midst of the skyrocketing crime and anti-white hysteria following Saint Floyd's death). It's one of my all time favorite Ann columns, and BOY is it relevant right now with all of the current smearing of white women who dare do anything about black men stealing from them like the Citi Bike "Karen" or more recently the two white female Lululemon employees fired for calling the police on black thieves.
on a more positive note, Leslie Van Houten might soon be released from the California gulag where she has been stationed since 1978 for eating a piece of cheese out of the LaBianca refrigerator. The jerk off prosecutor, a protege of the jerk off Bugliosi, was told twice by a jury to f*** off when he tried to put her behind bars for murder, apparently unaware that you can't kill someone who is already dead (prosecutors should have to carry their own shovel, too, to dig their own grave when trying to railroad an innocent person).
So the prosecutor came up with the trick charge of felony robbery. Manson should have sent the family to his and every other LA prosecutor's house instead of to Cielo Drive.
Also during Trump lockdowns, we learned there was an exemption if you wanted to join massive anti-white riots. 1200 "public health officials" said white supremacy was a greater threat to public health than Covid....https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jyfn4Wd2i6bRi12ePghMHtX3ys1b7K1A/view
Thank you for having the courage to point out the violent crime facts our mainstream media fights to hide. I respond in memory of my late police officer cousin who was gunned down in cold blood while responding to a domestic violence call. This was back in the mid 2000's - meanwhile the black community glorifies such killings of police officers in the song "officer down!" Sadly, in recent years it has only gotten worse. Shame on the mainstream media for advocating and encouraging their violence.
Haven't forgotten watching Candace Owens' movie about the shameless shilling of his non-police caused death by the BLM Jacobins. There's some serious reality-meets-rhetoric coming here.
The reader comments are the article’s only redeeming feature. Most talk about black-on-black crime, including homicide, and point out the tiny number of police killings of unarmed blacks.
Tony Timpa is NOT mentioned.
But it’s all just futile and wrong-headed. Violence is a black problem, not ours. They have to handle it. We can’t solve it for them.
That’s the lesson of the last 65 years. All we can do is make damn sure they don’t bring it to our neighborhoods.
My takeaway from the riots following St. George's death: what we were seeing and what they intended us to see was a warmup to what would happen if Trump were, in fact, re-elected. See what we can do when we want to? And nobody's going to stop us, certainly not the DAs or the cops. We'll burn everything to the ground in November if you don't give us the outcome we want.
And now we're looking at it again, and I'm not sure I want Trump anywhere near the White House. Not that he may pick up where he left off, ACTUALLY build the wall, ACTUALLY drain the swamp. Honestly, I wouldn't hold my breath on these promises. I think the threat alone is enough to disqualify Trump, and I'm not caving to terroristic threats, I'm just telling you what to expect. Even if the police turned out in force and all the DAs became actual DAs, the damage would be unsustainable. Many urban areas have still not returned to normal after 3 years.
But electing Trump might insure we see 4 more years of destruction on a massive scale.
And you want to risk that I'm wrong? That that's not what they had in mind in 2020?
Required reading for every state and federal legislator now and going forward. Talk about the big lies, the Floyd hero narrative and blacks under attack by police propaganda take the cake.
Great column.

Yep.
Clean forgot about this anniversary.

Excellent article Ann! Blacks are first in line to demand more gun control laws and then they whine when cops start to enforce those laws.
BONUS ANN COULTER CONTENT: Her weekly appearance on the Mark Simone radio show in NYC.

On the actual anniversary this year The NY Times DID publish a long article titled, “The Toll of Police Violence on Black People’s Mental Health.”
For those with subscriptions you can read it here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/05/25/well/mind/black-mental-health-police-violence.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Vote accordingly.
Bravo!

Fuck around, find out.
Fentanyl is a killer

I can't believe how smart I was to leave the country in 2003 and never return. I think Miami is the only sane city left in the US.
A little off topic, but how do you get to the "Power Search" page of Nexis that Ann posted a screenshot of?
