The illustrative case of Winston Boogie Smith, Jr.
You may have heard that there was another shooting death of a black man in Minneapolis’s yesterday, but little has made it in the news.
What we know so far is US Marshalls went to arrest a convicted felon under the name of Winston Boogie Smith, Jr for weapons’ violation. He produced a firearm and he got shot and killed for it. Word got out to the community and the usual suspects went out to “peacefully protest” this “unjust” debacle.
And now, some illustrative Tweets collected for your viewing pleasure:
Oh, another guy who would still be alive if our criminal justice system wasn’t completely effed up.
Smith was sentenced to 48 month in prison in Oct. 2018 but his sentence was STAYED by Judge Jay Quam.
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN PRISON.#MNLEG #MNSEN do something!!!

So we have a Judicial failure. Remember, this is important because we were told it is safer and nicer to keep criminals in the street rather than have them serve their debt to society in jail. I am not privy to the details on how Mr. Boogie screwed up again, but if they sent the US Marshals after him, it is pretty fair to say he did screw up royally and was on the run.
Of course, his death will always we unwarranted by The Selected Few that will rather side with felons because not only raises political ruckus but provides with an excuse to “liberate” merchandise from the tight grip of evil Capitalist merchants.

But one location in the target area did not get looted. I wonder why.

Interesting, no? It was the threat of “Gun Violence” that kept the actual violent people away.
Felon does bad thing. Felon gets tracked by US Marshals. Felon does stupid thing with gun. Felon gets shot by US Marshals. Race Activists/Fellow Felons condemn the results of Felon acting stupid. Race Activists/Fellow Felons “peacefully protest” by looting. Race Activists/Fellow Felons avoid the armed location and rather seek soft targets.
I believe that pretty much covers today’s lesson.
Like I said initially: an illustrative case.
