Anti-cop group burns American flag over death of black teen
New York Post ^ | June 7th 2016 | By Tina Moore and Natalie Musumeci

Posted on 06/09/2016 9:35:47 AM PDT by Mr_Moonlight

A group of anti-cop dissenters burned an American flag outside a Staten Island police station house in protest of the NYPD’s investigation into the death of a black teenage boy who police said suffered a fatal asthma attack after a gang-related street fight last month, video shows.

In a video posted to YouTube, demonstrators can be seen gathered outside of the 121st Precinct station house for the staged flag burning on Saturday.

“We light fire for the ancestors who have gone before us who were lynched,” a woman can be hearing saying in the video as another person attempts to ignite the small flag.

“We light this flag for Dayshen McKenzie, who was lynched,” said the woman.

McKenzie, 16, keeled over in a backyard on Staten Island on May 27 after being chased by a group of white and Hispanic men following a pre-arranged street fight between two rival crews, police said.

OK ... lemme get this straight, so I know that it isn't just me who's insane:

So then, two gangs of thugs pre-arrange a street-fight and one of the thugs suffers a fatal asthma attack during the melee. No Cops are involved, nor is the American flag ... but yet the Cops get blamed for not stopping the fight, and the American flag gets burned in protest (???)

A willing participant in a gang fight dies during the fight, and these 'protesters' call it a "lynching" ???

My fellow FReepers, please tell me that it isn't me who's insane !!

Thanks,

Wow, that was a COMPLETELY different story than the one the NY Daily News reported. NY Daily News really should only be used for, well, you get the idea...

...a pre-arranged street fight between two rival crews

Is "crew" the new PC term for "gang"?

When they first reported it, they made it sound like it was a race incident, group of white teens chased a terrified Dayshen. Nothing about pre-arranged fight. Today, this was posted:

“Dayshen, 16, died of an asthma attack on May 27 after being chased by a group of white and Hispanic teens screaming racial slurs and threatening to shoot him.”

The Daily News likes to incite racial tension whenever they can - Shaun King has an agenda and bias.

I really do not see the issue, the black dude was in a opposite gang and they got into a fight with another gang that was white and Hispanic, play stupid games win stupid prizes.

At least this rendering of the story has a bit of candor. Earlier versions implied that Dundu Nuffin was strolling down the boulevard and minding his own business when confronted by the monstrous whites and chased to his demise.

Fake but inaccurate.

Not Insane.

Not Necessarily Related: Hard to figure. When did lighting fires 'in public' become legal on Staten Island?

Cancel their EBT cards.

If that flag does not represent them, then that flag will not pay to feed or house them.

SCREW ‘em.

Well yeah, of course ... so how do the Cops end up getting blamed, and how does the American flag end up getting burned ?

( Never mind, I already know the answer :) ) They're professional protesters and it must've been a slow week for 'the CAUSE' so they had to do the only thing they know how to do ... burn a flag and blame the Cops ...

Doesn’t it comfort you to know the #BLM crowd are living off your tax dollars and selling drugs so they can live the high life while we slave away at our jobs an extra day a a week to fund it?

I believe in honoring my ancestors, too. But they didn’t burn flags. Throw people hogtied into swamps, hang enemies from oak trees to feed Odin’s ravens, chop them into sashimi and make drinking cups out of their skulls, yes, but not burn a flag.

Be thankful our memory is so poor ;)

New York wasted too many good men in the Union Army.
