"nothing shocked me more than chapter 3 on the Ahmaud Arbery case.
"if you follow the news, you know that Arbery was the innocent black jogger chased down by three racist rednecks in Georgia and shot dead merely for 'jogging while black.'
Arbery's killers, Travis and Gregory McMichael, were convicted in about six minutes and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. plus 20 years, just to be safe. eight months later, they got bonus life sentences in separate federal hate crimes prosecutions. a neighbor, William 'Roddie' Bryan Jr., who happened to be there, got 35 years (state) plus life (federal).
"quite a turnabout for a case that three prosecutors refused to take after concluding there was no crime. but our media can perform miracles!
"Mantell contrasts the media's treatment of Arbery's killing with their take on the murder of Christopher Lane, a White jogger shot and killed by a black man in oklahoma.
"racist hate crime, committed by hateful racists!
Lane:
-- "the simplest of motives -- boredom." -- the Washington post
"-- 'a tale about teenagers from broken families, lives complicated by drugs and poverty, who seemed idle.' -- the new york times
"the facts of the Lane shooting are pretty simple:
"Lane, a 22-year-old australian studying at east central university in oklahoma on a baseball scholarship, went for an afternoon run on aug. 16, 2013, in a town that's 2.5% black, and was shot in the back by a black teen, Chancey Luna, driving by in a car with two other boys. Lane died, blood gushing from his mouth, before the ambulance arrived.
"days earlier, one of the teens charged with Lane's murder tweeted, 'with my n*ggas when it's time to start taken life's.' 
"the facts of Arbery's shooting are also simple, only made complicated by the media's lies.
"the McMichaels said they attempted to make a citizen's arrest to take Arbery into custody [after catching him again trespassing in neighbor Larry English's house late at night]. Bryan, who followed behind the McMichaels in his own truck, caught part of the incident on his cellphone camera. tn the video, Arbery punched Travis, and they fought over the gun; during the struggle, Travis shot and killed Arbery."
"but 'from the start, both the times and the post pushed the false narrative by Arbery's family and attorney (who were not present during the incident) that Arbery had simply been out jogging through the neighborhood ..."
"indeed, a times reporter wrote that 'even if Arbery had been trespassing in the house, it doesn't justify his shooting.' (say, can we get Malachy Browne to write an article on officer Michael Byrd's deadly shooting of Ashli Babbitt for trespassing at the capitol on jan. 6?)
Mantell notes a few omissions from the times and Washington post's 'jogging while black' accounts:
"convenience store employees reported Arbery was known as 'the jogger' because he would stretch and pretend to warm up outside the store and then run in and out quickly, stealing stuff. ... the employees said they tried to have police give the man a criminal trespass warning, but he always ran off before they could.
"'on august 21, 2018, according to Burke county witness reports and Burke county sheriff bodycam video, a black woman who was married to a sheriff deputy called for help after seeing Arbery in her backyard and looking in her car windows. sheriff deputies also later mentioned he was trying to steal a dog from the same house ... when officers arrived to give Arbery a warning about criminal trespassing, Arbery claimed he had been out jogging and threatened to 'whoop the officer's ass.'"
"'on october 23, 2018, a black woman called Burke county sheriff deputies when she saw Arbery go into a vacant mobile home across from her house ... when the sheriff arrived, Arbery ran away from deputies and falsely claimed he had been out 'jogging'.
"'Arbery was arrested and charged with 'misdemeanor obstruction for running when given lawful commands to stop.'"
"following his pattern, before 'jogging' the night he was shot, Arbery had apparently been burgling English's house.
"but 'both the times and the post (and other media) continued to falsely report claims that nothing had ever been taken from English's house in which Arbery had been caught on video trespassing on multiple occasions."
"in fact, Mantell says, 'the post and the times knew about several 911 calls made in october and november 2019 which directly contradicted those claims ... in one [of several calls] English told the dispatcher, 'we had some stuff stolen from there' in the last incident ... the first time they stole everything out of the boat 'that wasn't tied down.' the next night, november 18, 2019, English called 911 again, reporting that the same black guy who was there about a week or a week and a half ago was back.'
"the media simply treated as gospel English's post-hoc, not-under-oath, scared-stiff statement that nothing had been stolen. more likely, English noticed what had happened to the atlanta Wendy's where police had shot a black man in the parking lot in june 2020. (Reuters: 'protesters burn down Wendy's in atlanta after police shooting.')
"tellingly, English 'admitted in court he had been greatly troubled by death threats he received.'
"no matter. the only relevant fact to the media was this:
"[t]he neighbor Bryan accused Travis McMichael of calling Arbery a 'fucking n*gger' after killing him -- and when racist messages were found on Travis' cellphone -- both papers devoted breathless headlines and stories to the news. this was reported as absolute proof that the killing of Arbery was racially motivated.
"but, oddly, the media had zero interest in the racist tweets posted by James Edwards, one of the black teens involved in Lane's shooting, such as:
"90% of white ppl are nasty. "HATE THEM."
"ayeee I knocced out 5 woods since Zimmerman court!:) lol sh*t ima keep sleepin sh*t!#ayeeee." ("wood" is a racial epithet for a white person.)
"'[w]hile the times pointed out that Lane's killer had White friends, it didn't worry about whether the McMichaels or Bryan had any black friends, though Travis McMichael had risked his own life years earlier to save a black man from drowning (according to a later 48 Hours report).
"yeah, 'later' -- after the media's propaganda campaign had successfully led to multiple life sentences.
"there's much, much more in this chapter alone, but I'll end with one more proof of what Mantell means by 'special victim status':
"'as of january 15, 2023, Arbery was mentioned in 773 articles in the post and 955 in the times. ... [O]n may 8, 2020 ... the times ran 14 articles and the post ran 13 articles about Arbery on that single day. that was more coverage than the times and the post gave to Lane's killing in two years -- from his murder to the sentencing of his killers."
"thank you for reading unsafe. this post is public so feel free to share it.

"I know the Trump trial is serious, and a once and future president could be criminally sentenced any day, but for irony and sheer absurdity, today was hard to top. the ghost of eighties past descended on the courthouse and got his freak on.
"forty years ago, wall street made new york the center of America's cultural universe. defiantly announcing the country was done apologizing for vietnam, watergate, the Church committee revelations, and other horrors, finance pirates like Ivan Boesky reaffirmed American capitalism with a generational mantra: 'greed is good'! "junk bonds falling like fairy dust turned a downtown of Cinderellas into paper princesses, and everyone in the city seemed on coke, on the make, and proud.
"no amount of money was too small to hustle. "spy magazine, the slick new ironic Bible of the greed era, helped make 'short-fingered vulgarian' Donald Trump a celebrity through a stunt that tagged him and Adnan Khashoggi as the only two out of 58 famous rich marks greedy enough to cash 13-cent checks:
"but spy in november 1988 also roasted Deer Hunter legend 'Bobby' De Niro, putting him as the top name on their list of 'unstoppables,' actors who "lose studios the kind of money normally associated with pentagon budgets under republican administrations' but somehow 'never go unemployed.' the mag said De Niro flicks were a whopping $89,308,673 in the red, making him the silver screen version of an over-leveraged real estate tycoon. "spy wrote it was 'nice Meryl Streep is still able to work,' but asked: 'why feed hollywood's living dead'?
"De Niro later joined Trump as a spy 100 'worst people' honoree, bashed as a burnt-out thespian doing the same old schtick. His and Trump's histories would stay weirdly intertwined. while Trump was thought of as an infamous hirer of scab construction labor, and garnered headlines as president when his administration tried to ban the unions' famed inflatable rat, Scabby, De Niro soon after joined the same club. a $600 million deal to build the gargantuan wildflower film studio in astoria earned a visit by Scabby on De Niro's 79th birthday in 2022 when he, too, chose non-union labor.
"today in downtown new york Trump and De Niro collided again, in a scene that will someday get its own wing in Madame Tussaud's wax a--holes museum:"
"this 2024 british columbia provincial election just took an explosive turn.
"conservative candidate Damon Scrase, running for the Courtenay-Comox riding, has abruptly resigned after a series of mean tweets surfaced, tweets denouncing kids being exposed to bdsm fetishists at pride parades.
"while the mainstream media has yet to catch wind of the story, by tomorrow, it will be headline news across canada. here on substack, however, I can beat the msm to the punch and show the tweets directly, allowing you to draw your own conclusions rather than relying on the filtered interpretations of whichever newspaper columnist is **describing** these tweets to you.
"thank you for reading Karlstack. This post is public so feel free to share it.
"the first two tweets from two years ago expressed Scrase's opposition to children attending a drag queen parade. unfortunately, the original posts he was quoting have been deleted, making it impossible to see the full context.
 |
"*I am being told this is actually 'pup play', which is different than being a ''furry''.
"Scrace has a valid point. men in fetish gear don't belong around kids."this statement shouldn't be considered extreme, yet in canada, it has now officially fallen outside the Overton window.
|
"many of my gay readers (I definitely have thousands) surely agree.
|
"following the unearthing of these four tweets, Scrase issued a statement disavowing his past beliefs and announcing his resignation. I find it insincere.
"I'm a blue-collar guy who never aspired to be a public figure, and certainly not a politician. like many of us I have made posts on social media years ago that make me wince, which don't reflect what I think or who I am today.
"statement from Damon Scrase
"it's gross to see him lie about what he truly believes to appease his enemies. such duplicity is a betrayal of trust and truth; if he were candid, I know he would still strongly agree with the statement: 'men in fetish gear don't belong around kids.' this is such an obvious stance; the fumbling is astounding. just have a spine and stand up for the belief.
"the strange thing in this story is the timeline: he gave in immediately. just two hours after Johal's thread went live—and despite garnering barely 100 likes—Scrase resigned. this immediate capitulation to such a weaksauce hitjob is remarkable. perhaps it's for the best that Scrase is no longer a conservative politician. he is clearly not a fighter. if you're going to step down, do so with conviction, not an apology. it's crazy that Scrace crumbled, apologized, grovelled, and then resigned at the first sign of pressure. terrible political instincts.
His statement continues.
'I recognized this and deleted them. I do not want my old, unfortunate comments to distract from the important work currently being done to fix our incredible province. as a result, I have informed the conservative party of bc that, effective immediately, I will be stepping down as the candidate for Courtenay-Comox. my most sincere possible thank you to everyone who supported me on this journey. it has been quite the education. I leave with high hopes, in good spirit, with deep humility, and gratefulness in my heart.'
"statement from Damon Scrase
"there's likely more to this story. it's conceivable that the provincial party pressured him into stepping down, rather than him resigning entirely of his own volition, but that remains unknowable. either way: he doesn't have a spine, or the provincial party doesn't.
"this spinelessness is a recurring problem at every level of canadian conservative politics, spanning all 13 provinces. conservatives perpetually lose because they perpetually roll over and expose their bellies. they naively believe that adopting a liberal-lite stance will win over liberal voters, resulting in gradually compromising on all of their core beliefs. this misguided strategy has steadily shifted the rightward edge of the Overton window further to the left, and has led to true conservative candidates being barred from running for office.
"Scrase is now a cautionary tale: don't sell out your beliefs, or your civilization will crumble, just like Scrase did this afternoon. Freddie deBoer sums up my thoughts perfectly:

"it's become abundantly clear that there simply is no value in public apology. admitting fault only emboldens critics. the mechanisms of social media always reward escalation and never reward calm and restraint. contemporary progressive politics excuse any amount of personal viciousness so long as the target is perceived to be guilty of committing socme identity crime. the notion of proportionality is totally alien to these worlds, and when people ask for such proportionality they're accused of supporting bigotry. people who are friendly online shamelessly wage backchannel campaigns against each other, and almost no one on social media has the stomach to stand up for someone else when the mob comes for them. most importantly, the public can never grant you absolution for what you've done; absolution is not the public's to grant. the strangers on twitter can't accept an apology, even if they ever would, and they wouldn't. you can ask the mob for forgiveness, but they have no moral right to grant it, and anyway they never will. they'll just keep you wriggling on the end of a pin forever. honestly: how often do people who make public apologies come out ahead in doing so, especially because they're so often coerced and thus insincere?
