Actions no longer matter. It’s no longer about the content of one’s character; it IS about the color of their skin, and that’s the truth folks. How far we have fallen in just a few short years.
Alicia Powe writes that “social justice” to the American left has nothing to do with justice, and everything to do with hate and revenge.
A thug with a criminal record tried to help a woman who police officers were apprehending escape from custody.
The woman was getting arrested for allegedly assaulting a restaurant owner and skipping out on the bill when Jasmine Richards, an organizer with Black Lives Matter, violently interfered with law enforcement.
Richards was found guilty on Wednesday by a Pasadena, California, jury of attempted “lynching,” a felony under California law and is facing four years in state prison.
This rarely used charge refers to when a person tries to remove someone from police custody. The crime of lynching historically refers to the practice of when a white lynch mob takes a black person out of the custody of the police for the purpose of extrajudicially hanging them.
Richards is the first African-American ever tried on the charge.
From Breitbart:
Jasmine Richards is a militant black lesbian activist with a long history of political clashes with law enforcement. Richards was part of the Ferguson, Missouri, riots and was arrested in April of 2015 on two outstanding warrants for terrorist threats, assault, trespassing, and petty theft.
Breitbart News exclusively interviewed the owner of the shop where the original incident allegedly took place, and the details reveal a great deal about the racist motivation of Black Lives Matter.
The owner, who did not wish to be identified for fear of her safety, is a Hispanic woman who runs a restaurant that was across the street from where Black Lives Matter was demonstrating.
The owner told Breitbart News that a young black woman who was not connected with the protest came into the restaurant and demanded she be given a drink without paying full price. After being told she needed to pay for the drink to get it, the young black woman became angry and eventually physically assaulted the restaurant owner, hitting her on the head.
