MAYBE BESPOKE TERRORISM IS A BAD IDEA: FBI nabbed accused cop car arsonist by tracing her T-shirt to Etsy.

 

Federal investigators in Philadelphia used twee shopping site Etsy and a host of social media platforms, including Instagram and Vimeo, to nab a massage therapist accused of torching a cop car, according to a federal complaint.

The suspect, 33-year-old Lore-Elisabeth Blumenthal, was identified by FBI agents who examined footage of a May 30 George Floyd protest and noticed her distinct forearm tattoo and a political T-shirt she was wearing when she allegedly set the police cruiser ablaze.

The T-shirt — which had the phrase “Keep the Immigrants Deport the Racists” emblazoned on it — led investigators to an Etsy page that was selling the custom-made shirts.

The investigators noticed a review on the page written by a username they later determined was linked to someone named Lore-Elisabeth in Philadelphia, according to the complaint.

They then searched the name on LinkedIn, which turned up a hit for a woman employed as a massage therapist in the city. On the company’s website, videos show a woman giving massages with a peace-sign forearm tattoo that matched Blumenthal’s.

The website listed a phone number for Blumenthal, which federal authorities used to track down her address in the Germantown section of the city.

 

If you watch old cop shows, they always ask if the criminal was wearing anything unusual, or had any tattoos or distinguishing marks. Though in some milieus nowadays, I guess you might stand out more by having none.

Do you not believe that everyone born into this world should have the same opportunities? Same basic human rights? 
 

That is the main things that progressives are out there fighting for in the capital everyday. Unfortunately the morality of most politicians (especially republicans) leaves a lot to be desired. 

 

This movement is about invoking morality on the general population. Years from now I’m going to be considered on the right side of things just as those who stood tall will MLK in the 60s and the abolishinists (sp) in the 1800s. 
 

 

Progressives are fighting for equal opportunity how? If they are why are the worst schools in our country exclusively in liberal areas? Why is the largest income inequality in liberal areas? Why is the largest racial discord in liberal areas? I find it hilarious you actually think you have any similarity to an abolitionist, since you are not fighting for freedom of an individual but bondage by govt. You are either a special kind of ignorant or are incapable of determining who is causing the issue.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: How Cultural Revolutions Die — or Not.

 

In other words, once cultural revolutions turn anarchic and eat their own, they lose support. When quiet sympathizers conclude that they too may be targeted, to survive they turn on their former icons.

 

We are seeing that now. Liberal sympathetic bystanders are wondering whether downtown arson and looting will go private and reach their suburban homes. Do they really want their marquee universities or the Washington or Jefferson monuments defaced or renamed? What happens when calling 911 gets a constant busy signal?

 

When a liberal mayor or black police chief or progressive governor or white leftist who diverges from the party line is targeted by the mob, then who really is safe?

 

Answer? No one. And so the cultural revolution sputters to irrelevance.

 

What deflated the MeToo movement was the high toll that the accusations took among the Hollywood and cultural elite. Suddenly, progressive celebrities began demanding evidence and insisting on presumed innocence when their careers were destroyed.

What burns out these cultural upheavals is that today’s revolutionary can be denounced as tomorrow’s sell-out. No leader wants to share Robespierre’s rendezvous with his own guillotine.

 

There is one caveat.

 

Sometimes cultural revolutions don’t die out — if they are hijacked by a thug or killer.

 

 

It’s VDH, so read the whole thing.

With all the taking down of everything to do with slavery why are there no demands to take down the Democratic Party? 
They did want to keep slavery.

You literally stated you were a better person than me, I stated evidence you are not actually helping anyone and your response is a quote from a 20 year old TV show? Must be nice to be woke and not need logic or intelligence, or even wit.
