"Now the Shoe is On the Other Foot!"Stand Up for Baltimore’s Real Victims
By Daniel Greenfield On May 1, 2015 In Daily Mailer,FrontPage
The real victim in Baltimore is not Freddie Gray, a repeat loser who eventually died as he had lived: Being arrested by the police. The real victims are not the thugs smashing and looting stores. It isn’t the young black men disproportionately stopped by the racist majority-black police force in Baltimore under a racist black police commissioner for doing nothing wrong except the usual drug and weapons charges.
It’s not even the “majority of law-abiding Baltimore families” referenced by politicians.
85% of Baltimore voters came out for Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who gave the muggers and looters “space to destroy,” and then apologized for calling them thugs, defending them instead as “misguided young people” [2] who “need support.”
Rawlings-Blake was a former City Council speaker who got a promotion when Sheila Dixon, the first black female mayor of Baltimore, was convicted of stealing gift cards intended for the poor. During her time in the City Council, Dixon had become notorious for waving her shoe at white colleagues and shouting, “You’ve been running things for the last 20 years. Now the shoe is on the other foot!”
It was indeed. At least some of the stolen gift cards were used to buy clothes. And the shoe is still on the other foot. Just ask the criminals who smashed and grabbed while the police did nothing.
Dixon had won 87% of the vote. And she wants to get back into politics. After the riots, she popped up [3] to complain that white people were going about with business as usual while black anger grew.
