Now hold on just a minute
Calls for Black Lives Matter to be recognised as ‘terrorist organisation’ after Dallas shootings
The creator of the petition, identified only as Y.S., wrote: “Terrorism is defined as ‘the use of violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims’. This definition is the same definition used to declare Isis and other groups as terrorist organisations. Black Lives Matter has earned this title due to its actions in Ferguson, Baltimore, and even at a Bernie Sanders rally.”
Now hold on just a minute.
The FBI is on the case and it must first be determined if the shooter(s) had intent to do a criminal act! or was this simply a case of “extremely careless handling of a firearm. one top FBI official suggests that the shooter(s) may have been “unsophisticated” in the more extreme consequences of improper firearm handling.
AG Lynch urges calm until the reasons for the ‘irregular activity’ in Dallas are known;
Justice Dept. says it may be several years before “we have the answers”

Straight Outta Compton?
…”Close to thirty years ago, rap supergroup NWA gave us words to deal with such a time as this. I believe Jesus would use them…
“Fuck tha (sic) Police”
(The original name of the “rap supergroup” was “Niggas with Attitude”. No wonder they made a movie praising this group.)
This is the sick and twisted mentality of Dallas resident Rev. Jeff Hood, a self-described police brutality activist, winner of the Next Generation Action Network’s Person of the Year for his work against police brutality, who had the gall to end his January post with the word “Amen”.

Just one of those annoying liberal spins
I love this one. The Daily Mail is one of my favorite newspaper/online sites. Their reports tend to be more accurate and less biased than most US news sources. But there is no news outlet today that seems immune from the impulse to inject its progressive bias into virtually every story. On Friday the Mail reported on Obama’s unique ability to be unfazed by the worst news developments.
In one part of the story the Mail writer quoted Dr. Ben Carson, commenting on what he thought was an unseemly effort by President Obama to try to link every tragedy to the lack of “adequate” gun control laws. The writer could not resist putting his not-so-subtle ‘spin’ on Dr. Carson’s comment: Rather than reporting in a politically “neutral” way, the Mail noted that Carson “huffed”…not “said” or even “charged”, but “huffed”! A small thing…petty to note it perhaps…but nevertheless an effort by a progressive reporter to send a message to readers that Dr. Carson is just a “huffer and puffer”, not to be taken seriously.
The quote: ‘But I guess the real issue,’ he huffed, ‘is – you know, the president’s going to start saying, “See, gun control!”‘

Micah X Johnson recent photo as circulated
The “X” isn’t the only similarity
The usual suspects have also decried the use of the Dallas assailant’s middle initial when referring to him, terming it “racist”. The assailants full name is Micah Xavier Johnson. Referring to him as Micah X. Johnson is said to be a “dog whistle” intended to raise the specter of Malcolm X, notorious of the Black Muslim movement, (various iterations) and also famous for teaching, when he was part of the Nation of Islam, that white people are “devils.” The only problem with their criticisms of the use of “X” is that Mr. Johnson as the NY Times reports wanted “to kill white people, especially white officers.” Malcolm X did not go that far, as far as we know, but certainly said inflammatory things. There is evidence (not thoroughly vetted) that Mr Johnson used his middle initial to identify himself rather than write out his full middle name, as part of his social-media presence, which, by the way, included the picture above. If it was good enough for him . . .
