The land of the woke

The land of the woke
“It looked like an airplane wreck – so many bodies scattered everywhere in different states of injury,” said Villanueva of the scene. “It was pretty traumatic for all individuals.”

There is an underreported story unfolding in the city. The incident happened Wednesday!   Details have been few and disclosure has been at a snail's pace.

Here is the story from Fox yesterday:

"More than 20 law enforcement recruits have been injured, at least five critically, after a driver plowed into them while out on a morning run in California  on Wednesday.

The recruits have been rushed to hospitals, and authorities have detained a suspect believed to be the driver of the vehicle,  according to Fox 11.  The California Highway Patrol says the incident took place at roughly 6:30 a.m. local time.

The L.A. County Fire Department says five individuals had critical injuries, four had moderate injuries and another 14 had minor injuries."

Authorities have yet to release further details on the incident."

https://www.foxnews.com/us/more-than-20-police-recruits-injured-driver-plows-group-morning-run

And this from CNN today:

CNN  — 

"The man who was arrested for allegedly driving a vehicle into a group of law enforcement recruits in Whittier, California, was released from jail Thursday night, but the sheriff’s department insists they did not make a mistake.

Nicholas Joseph Gutierrez, 22, was released from custody at 9:49 p.m., according to jail records, citing an insufficient complaint.

Gutierrez is still considered a suspect in the case, and the decision to release him was made because investigators want more time to collect evidence to present to the District Attorney’s office for charges, not because they believe an error was made, said a spokesperson for the  Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department ."

https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/17/us/car-hits-los-angeles-sheriffs-deputies-investigation-thursday/index.html

Five cadets are fighting for their lives.

The suspect is walking free today!

Originally the story was that this was an accident?

How could there be such confusion?

How could the investigators be so confused?  They missed a 48 hour dedline in filing charges.

Why has this incident, which is an attack on police cadets on Wednesday, been so underrepoted?

You can't have it both ways.  If you accuse the left of demonizing the police and for this incident, you have accuse the right of demonizing the LGBTQ community for that incident, so Nancy must be correct because that's what the right does to the LGBTQ community, and you can't condemn her for it since you are doing the same thing she is doing.

There is no difference.  Your side demonizes the LGBTQ Community constantly, and then a shooting happens at a LGBTQ bar and you throw your hands up in the air and say "it's not our fault", yet you blame the other side for something like this happening.  You can feign ignorance about your side demonizing the LGBTQ community while blaming the left for allegedly demonizing the police.

As we continually lower the bar with buzzwords in lieu of addressing the difficult issues that require actual thought.  Words like  ‘defund’, ‘woke’, ‘grooming’, et.al. are factually void and intellectually vapid. And worse, uttered in the ugly, partisan intent to incite and divide.

[TiG:] Today, in our society, same-sex marriage is generally accepted whereas polygamy is generally not accepted. 
[Vic Eldred:] That's not how the law works. Society once only accepted Marriage as involving a man and a woman. Under the same reasoning that the right was extended to Gays, it was extented (sic) to a Polygamist and many other interesting relationships.

There is your proof of demonizing cloaked in a lie. What polygamist and "many other interesting relationships" are marrying in our culture?

By the way, what is this "once only accepted. . . " remark supposed to mean to the larger scheme of discussion? Are you such a traditionalist that "once only accepted marriages. . . "  ae all that you can allow? And demonizing and downplaying all other acceptable marriages flow from this?!

"woke" (a term simply used to connotate being respectful)

Originally intended to mean "alert to civil rights issues" or "takes an enlightened approach to civil rights", its meaning has changed. It is now associated with adopting an obsessive, blinkered or deliberately obtuse approach to certain civil rights, particularly in relation to equality. It refers to an approach which is overall and on balance harmful to society, ignores context and counterpoints, and is ignorant of the wider ramifications of the position taken.

Under the pretense of being politically correct, the "woke" person is, ironically, asleep, in that they are ignorant of or unconcerned by the harms caused by their actions. Such harms may include:
• damage to freedom of expression and freedom of association
• the diminution of comedy, and artistic license in music, to the point that it becomes dull
• stifling of conversation
• fear of expressing an alternative opinion or calling out that which is evidently nonsense
• feelings of being browbeaten, helpless and living in a dystopian society
• diversion of societal focus away from more pressing issues affecting society
• the breakdown of language and societal structures
• discrimination and prejudice against others with particular characteristics - typically those who, in a particular location or organisation, are in a majority - under the guise of improving equality and acting on behalf of the minority.

The "woke" person may be acting in their own self-interests to achieve their own ends.
They is only one person, but they has a big effect on everyone around them. They's so woke that they can't function properly in life, it's hard to understand them, and even their friends can't keep track of their pronouns.

He's so woke that he's asleep.

Only in leftist la la land is being woke a positive thing.

  1. alert to injustice in society, especially racism.

I'd rather be "woke", or alert to racial injustice instead of an asshole that doesn't think it important.

“Woke” was coined by the left some years ago to describe a person who had become sensitive to the left’s  pet issues , especially racial and “social justice” ones. It implied that a person disagreeing with the left about those issues was not just wrong, but unconscious."

You consider this "enlightened"?

It is now associated with adopting an obsessive, blinkered or deliberately obtuse approach to certain civil rights, particularly in relation to equality. It refers to an approach which is overall and on balance harmful to society, ignores context and counterpoints, and is ignorant of the wider ramifications of the position taken.

Go back to 2.1.16 and read the whole damn thing. It is the left in a nutshell "harmful to society".

The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff

Is rounded with a sleep."

Take their word for it:

The "defund the police" movement, is one of reimagining the current police system to build an entity that does not violate us, while relocating funds to invest in community services.

Let’s be clear, the people who now oppose this, have always opposed calls for systematic change.

The defund movement isn't new. Folks are just finally listening. "We got money for wars but can't feed the poor."   #HappyBirthdayTupac   #DefundPolice   #FundCommunities — Ayanna Pressley (@AyannaPressley)   June 16, 2020
I believe we need to protect families who need help, and ICE isn’t doing that. It has become a deportation force. We need to separate immigration issues from criminal justice. We need to abolish ICE, start over and build something that actually works.   — Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand)   June 29, 2018
Instead of spending $80 billion a year on jails and incarceration, we need to be investing in more jobs and education. One thing is abundantly clear: Every police department violating people's civil rights must be stripped of federal funding. Period. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders)   June 4, 2020
When we say   #DefundPolice , what we mean is people are dying and we need to invest in people's livelihoods instead.

Here's what we know John. The suspect never used a horn, slowed down or tried to swerve away from the cadets. He was not intoxicated and his foot was still on the gas pedal when he was taken from the vehicle. Police didn't feel they had enough to prosecute and were careful not to make an accusation.

The story is not being reported because the police are not doing the work for the intrepid reporters.  Today's reporters don't have time to actually do their own investigative reporting.  Today's reporting is done by stenographers and not by reporters.

Why would the cops release Gutierrez?  Probably because the cops don't trust the prosecutor and courts.  Gutierrez may be on the street but I'd bet he's not walking alone.  Gutierrez probably has his own personal detail.  Gutierrez won't be able to take a leak without the time and place being recorded.

It seems apparent that the police want Gutierrez.  And the cops are not going to let the press, prosecutor, or courts screw it up.
