The Media Nominates Their New George Floyd
The Media Nominates Their New George Floyd | The Daily Wire
Last year, a man in his mid-20’s named Dexter Reed was charged with three counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and one count of possession of a firearm with a revoked “Firearms Owners Identification Card,” which is required in the state of Illinois before you can possess a weapon or ammunition. Because no one really spends time in jail in Illinois anymore, Reed was free on pretrial release for these felony charges as recently as this past March.
It goes without saying that at that point, any functioning member of society who somehow found himself charged with these crimes would try to lay low for a bit. Maybe they’d keep their illegal guns at home, for example. But Dexter Reed did not choose that approach because he’s not a functioning member of society. Instead, in March, Reed went for a drive in an SUV wearing a ski mask and carrying a firearm.

It’s clear from this footage that Dexter Reed is wearing a ski mask and he’s not cooperating with the officers. They tell him to unlock the door and stop rolling up the windows, and he refuses for quite some time. Then the officers see something that clearly puts them in fear of their life. They back up, and shots begin ringing out. One officer is hit in the wrist, and he survives.

After seeing that footage, here was the Washington Post headline: “Deputy fatally shoots man who served 16 years for wrongful conviction.” The article begins: “Leonard Cure, who was exonerated in 2020, was killed by a Georgia sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop Monday … The deputy used a Taser and a baton before shooting Cure.”
The Post didn’t get around to mentioning that Cure tried to murder the deputy until 14 paragraphs into the story. And even then, they describe it as carefully as they can. They say Cure was “forcefully grappling with the deputy and pushing the deputy’s head back with his hand.” That’s the Post’s way of saying that he was trying to choke the officer to death. And of course, Ben Crump came out and declared that Cure had been shot simply for being black.
That effort didn’t catch on in quite the way the media and BLM activists had hoped. So now they’re trying again. And they will continue to try until one of two things happen. Either they get the riots they want and terrorize millions of people into voting for Democrats out of fear — or, for once, normal, sane people stand up and say what’s obvious. And that’s the fact that Dexter Reed and Leonard Cure and all of these BLM “heroes” are the dregs of society. They are not role models and they are not victims. They are, in fact, the cause of many serious problems that cities like Chicago are experiencing right now. That’s the only message that can put an end to these riots before they start, and avert a repeat of the pillaging we saw in 2020. It happens to be a message that most Americans believe, even if they’re afraid to say it. But as unpleasant as it may be, it’s time we started saying it.
Commentary:
We've seen the images of this felon as the angel his family claims he was compared to the images of his suicide by cop.
It's a sure sign that the Democrats and their biased Quisling Media are becoming desparate in this election year.
