CUNY Newspaper Editorial Calls for Shooting of Police, Armed, Violent Protests
Pundit Press ^ | 12/24/14 | Aurelius

Posted on 12/24/2014 11:26:53 AM PST by rightistight

In a CUNY newspaper editorial written earlier this month, the “Advocate’s” Editor-in-Chief called for violent protests against those opposed to “justice” for Michael Brown and others.

The piece, called “In Support of Violence,” contains several chilling passages.

“The time for peace has passed, indeed it never existed in this country,” the editorial explains. “It doesn’t matter if Brown robbed a convenience store, or even if he assaulted Wilson. What matters is that the case highlights the depths to which the capitalist state and its police forces will protect their own and attempt to stifle any sort of dissent.”

The editorial continues, saying that the destruction of “mom and pop stores” were not because of protesters, but were caused by “the decades long, the centuries long, daily oppression people experience at the hands of the capitalist state.”

Protesters need to be both violent and armed, it continues. “The problem with the protestors’ violence in Ferguson is that it is unorganized,” it explains. “If the violence was to be organized, and the protestors armed – more so than the few that sparingly are – then the brunt of social pressures would not be laid onto middling proprietors, but unto those deserving the most virulent response of an enraged populace.”

...In its final paragraph, it says that, when the time is right, people need to murder police officers. “When the state comes down on its citizenry violently, we must resist, with equitable violence if necessary,” it says. Again, this writer believes that the police are killing its citizens and is proposing “equitable violence” in response. You can figure out what that means.

There once was a thug named Brown
Who bum-rushed a cop with a frown
Six bullets later he met his creator
And his homies burnt down the town.

It depends upon your definition of 'oppressive'.

The term used to be commonly understood in this context. Not so anymore, I guess.

The Nazis had Goebbels and the Black War on our police have their propagandists. The Only difference is Goebbels spoke German.

"those deserving the most virulent response of an enraged populace" can be assumed to be cops, right?

If so, and if this ABC News article is correct, rather than being "enraged" the "populace" is ... increasingly SUPPORTING the cops.

As said before, jacka**es like this guy need to read up on their Thomas Sowell (here and here ) and look at some statistics regarding population demographics and gun ownership.

The conclusion is that if the violence becomes organized and focused, the "enraged populace" is going to be standing WITH the cops, not against them. And they'll probably be well armed in doing so.

And what would be the response had the NRA or Gun Owners of America called for armed, violent protests and the killing of the police?

How do you explain this kind of idiocy?

I knew something about the writer before I looked at the NY Post article which told me what I already suspected.

Obviously there will be no prosecution, because this thing has protective pigmentation.

You can’t. It is best that you do not waste your time trying. It only results in pulled hair and ulcers.

NO LIMITS on a mulatto trying to get BLACK creds..
They must appear to be Super-Black... whatever that is..

NEVER question a mulatto being "BLACK", you could get hurt..
They DEMAND you be..... "or get" STUPID...

If you already look stupid they have no problem with you..

It would be an interesting turn around if someone were to off that author and/or editor. It would not upset me in the least.
