White Counterprotesters in Franklinville, N.J., Mock George Floyd's Killing

The protest in the New Jersey township was similar to those that have unfolded across the United States since George Floyd was killed in police custody: About 70 people gathered to rally against police brutality and systemic racism.

But as the diverse group marched along Monday, waving signs and chanting slogans in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, it was met by several white men who had gathered near a sign that said “All Lives Matter” and in front of a pickup truck draped with an American flag and a pro-Trump sign.

One of the men yelled at the marchers angrily while kneeling on the neck of another who was facedown on the ground — an apparent attempt to mock the killing of Mr. Floyd, a black man who died in Minneapolis after a white officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

Condemnation of the scene, which was captured on video, came quickly. The mayor and the police chief in Franklin Township, the South Jersey community where it happened, issued a statement calling the episode “revolting” and saying that it had left them “appalled and saddened.”

On Tuesday, the state’s Department of Corrections said it had suspended one of its employees after confirming that he was among the group that taunted and tried to upset the protesters. One man in the group can be seen on video filming the protesters.

“We have been made aware that one of our officers from Bayside State Prison participated in the filming of a hateful and disappointing video that mocked the killing of George Floyd,” the Corrections Department said in a statement that also pledged “a thorough and expedited investigation.”

At least somebody is pushing back on this.

Gov. Philip D. Murphy called the counterprotesters’ actions “repugnant.”

“We won’t let the actions of a few distract from our progress toward dismantling systemic racism,” Mr. Murphy said in a statement.

You mean 'repugnant' because they are not buying into the lies? They are doing more than the GOP is. BTW where is the GOP? At least someone is standing up to the MOB otherwise I guess we are just going to go quietly into the abyss.

Yes, you have to be really tasteless and push back hard to crack the armor of self righteousness these communist have.

When commie lover Ben Linder got croaked by the Contras the only way to crack the commies smug ness was shouting back ‘Linder got what he deserved.’

The outrageous is the only thing that works with the left.

That’s all the understand.

The funeral procession was disgusting. It was the most racist display I’ve seen in my lifetime. This isn’t about pro-black....it’s about anti-white....the gimme crowd rears its ugly head once again.

[robowombat]

Like a gangster funeral complete with gold casket.

Anything against the prevailing leftist orthodoxy will be punished by criminal leftists in all areas of society.

We no longer live in a free society.

” in front of a pickup truck draped with an American flag and a pro-Trump sign.”

Then they yelled, “This is MAGA Country!” and put a noose around my neck.

That depends on us, doesn't it? Are we on the right going to push back? I mean if we accept it I guess we are going to go out on our knees?

the state’s Department of Corrections said it had suspended one of its employees after confirming that he was among the group that taunted and tried to upset the protesters.

So the state, acting as the state, punishes its employee for exercising his First Amendment rights. So much for all the protestations from the left and from the officials of the state of New Jersey about the sacredness of the right to protest.

Evidently, that right applies only if you are on the right side of the issue.

Please note, the suspended employee is not even alleged to have "taunted [or] tried to upset the protesters", he is simply accused of being "among the group" accused of doing so.

Evidently, the concept of collective guilt is alive and well as an official state policy in New Jersey.

The Hillary Clinton version of and equal protection of the law thrives in the state of New Jersey.

Not fake.

Tasteless.

[piasa]

This isn’t pushing back, it’s either stupid, or it’s a backhanded way to smear Trump by association. Why did they have to pull the Trump campaign into this when Trump did not endorse their asinine protest? They could have done this without it. Either they are unbelievably stupid, unaware of the damage they could do, or else they are akin to Democrat dirty trickster Robert Creamer’s hirelings, sent into Trump rallies to create disturbances the Dems could then use in their campaign.

[ClearCase_guy]

Who cares if its tasteless? I am totally done with the “race” scam. The “protesters” deserve push-back and mockery and the Constitution says I have every right to give it to them.

[Altura Ct.]

Who gives a crap? This whole thing is based on a lie and they are using it to destroying this nation. The crap I have heard about whites over the last 10 days is not only BS but incredibly dangerous. Shades of Germany 1930 - 1940 or any other regime in history that has murdered and destroyed people who don’t agree with them.

[lizma2]

Dragging a drugy thug’s body across the United States was flat out obnoxious.

David Dorn is the man that deserves our respect.

[alexander_busek]

Tasteless.

Is it morally defensible / legal to fire him because of it?

If not, then the epithet "tasteless" is merely admitting that it is a "matter of taste."

[Altura Ct.]

Indeed. If whites don’t start standing up to this crap they will push us off a cliff or worse.

[Starcitizen]

Prepare for black socialist minority rule nationwide. Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore are good examples of what to look forward to.

[SmokingJoe]

Who cares if its tasteless?

I do. Most decent people will not go for mocking the death of some guy by reenacting it. No matter who he is.

I am totally done with the “race” scam. The “protesters” deserve push-back and mockery and the Constitution says I have every right to give it to them.

The constitution gives everyone the right to be obnoxious sure. But we as decent folk don't usually do that.
There are much better ways to take action against the race scam and to push back. Counter protests are fine. Kneeling on necks reenactment not so great.
