Boston launches poster campaign to combat Islamophobia
Fox News ^ | July 18, 2017

Posted on 07/19/2017 7:25:57 AM PDT by Zakeet

Boston has launched a new public service campaign to fight Islamophobia by offering the public ways to address aggression toward others because of their appearance or beliefs.

The campaign launched Monday involves 50 posters that provide a step-by-step guide to handling when someone is being harassed. They will be posted on bus stop benches and other public places around the city.

Titled "What to do if you are witnessing Islamophobic harassment," the posters encourage people to engage with the person who is being targeted and to draw attention away from the harasser. The technique is called "non-complementary behavior," and is intended to disempower an aggressive person by countering their expectations.

Excuse me but if sone kooky guy were harassing a woman - They are advising women to get in the middle and random conversation will chase an attacker away?Are they kidding? Try that on an Allah Akbar attacker. Or any attacker, it’s dangerous advice.

Meanwhile it’s okay for feminazis to say that all men are rapists.

Statistically speaking, the white ogre is most likely a democratic.

Yes, I said “democratic.” They love being called that.

The poster itself is leftist psych babble telling women that a crazy attacker will just leave if you create a safe space and ask if the victim likes movies. What’s plan B when the attacker shoves that poster straight up your arse? Not a gun, naturally.

Don’t go painting strips of bacon on these posters either because, besides the $50 fine you’ll get for defacing public property, they’ll tack on an extra $10,000 fine/90 day jail term...for hate speech.

Cracks me up that the “kuffar” female is asking the Muslim woman if she likes movies.

What kind of modern American movies do they think a Muslim would enjoy seeing?

Too bad Robert Mueller didn’t combat Islamfascism when he gave Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his radical mosque a pass prior to the Boston Bombing attack. Blood on Mueller’s hands, yet this scumbag is still Special Counsel against the President. A good example of why I teach my kids that the Founder’s vision has been totally corrupted and destroyed.

Expecting to see these posters too:

What to do if you see a Black attacking a White and yelling “F*cking Cracker!”

What to do if you see a M*slim yelling “allahu akhbar” and shooting innocent people.

Text me if you see them first.

The movie sets for "Patriot Day" still stand in an overgrown field at the old South Weymouth Naval Air Station. I walk my dog there, amid the half-ruins of Boylston St. and the Watertown neighborhood where Tsarnayev was captured. They are a silent witness to what Boston went through, as the original sites have been sanitized.

Four random observations:

The white male is always the villain. This is sexist and racist.

The ad is gynocentric. Always from a women point of view.

A white male interceding and starting a conversation could get the woman killed by her family.

Why doesn’t this woman ask if she knows a good place to buy a pressure cooker? barbeque?

Bacon strip stickers for the perfect stealth drive-by modification.
