TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! SHAMELESS SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS BLAMING PREZ TRUMP FOR DEADLY OLATHE SHOOTING IGNORE AMERICAN HISTORY OF ANTI-IMMIGRANT VIOLENCE AMID PARTISAN POLITICS!!!
Quick fact check from our blog community as we attempt to provide a bit of perspective and context on a tragic bit of recent violence that has been sensationalized and used for political gain.
To wit and a conclusion from our blog community . . .
BLAMING PREZ TRUMP FOR THE DEADLY OLATHE TRIPLE SHOOTING FOR POLITICAL GAIN IGNORES THE LONGSTANDING TRADITION OF AMERICAN VIOLENCE AGAINST IMMIGRANTS!!!
To be fair, immigrants also kill their fair share of Americans and those crimes have ALSO been used for political capital . . . However, the "shock" from snowflakes decrying this incident and blaming Prez Trump in order to fuel their own agenda seems to willingly ignore reality.
Here's one of many historical reference points given that the classic example of anti-immigrant sentiment - The Sacco and Vanzetti case has been challenged and sadly forgotten by many who think that political anti-immigrant fervor is something new:
New York Times: When Americans Lynched Mexicans
Deets:
"Americans are largely unaware that Mexicans were frequently the targets of lynch mobs, from the mid-19th century until well into the 20th century, second only to African-Americans in the scale and scope of the crimes. One case, largely overlooked or ignored by American journalists but not by the Mexican government, was that of seven Mexican shepherds hanged by white vigilantes near Corpus Christi, Tex., in late November 1873. The mob was probably trying to intimidate the shepherds’ employer into selling his land. None of the killers were arrested.
"From 1848 to 1928, mobs murdered thousands of Mexicans, though surviving records allowed us to clearly document only about 547 cases. These lynchings occurred not only in the southwestern states of Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas, but also in states far from the border, like Nebraska and Wyoming."
A more recent example of anti-immigrant violence that happened after Prez Obama created a so-called "post-racial" society with this historic election win . . .
ABC: Border Vigilante Shawna Forde Sentenced to Death for Home Invasion
And again . . . There are some very HONEST AND WELL-MEANING people concerned about the increasingly vitriolic American discourse amid the current political climate . . . Nevertheless, from so so many media denizens both social and otherwise . . . What we've seen is a DESPICABLE effort to politicize this tragedy amid an otherwise boring policy debate in which most Americans seem to support an immigration crackdown . . . At least as far as Mexicans are concerned.

New York Times: Hate Crime Is Feared as 2 Indian Engineers Are Shot in Kansas
WaPo: He yelled ‘Get out of my country,’ witnesses say, and then shot 2 men from India, killing on
KY3: GoFundMe raises $735000 for shooting victims from India
Hindustan Times: US isn't a safe place, don’t send your children there: Father of Indian engineer injured in Kansas shooting
BBC: Olathe shooting: India shocked after national killed in US
Independent UK: Kansas shooting: Wife of Indian engineer shot dead in Kansas bar calls on Donald Trump to fight hate crime
Slate - A Deafening Silence: Two Indian nationals were shot by a man yelling racial epithets. The president said nothing. That’s all we need to know about who matters in Trump’s America.
You decide . . .
I blame the schools.
ReplyDeleteSo Garmin will get a pass on their H1B reliance. Which is probably good news for the shareholders.
DeleteI agree with Slate's take on this.
ReplyDeleteTony, you are the only person being shameful, here.
BTW, stop lying about being non-partisan. You advocated for Rubio, & have been a Dumpster since he won the Rethuglican nomination. You consistently hate on the Democrats, especially the women.
Stats from the New York Times?
ReplyDeleteRemember when Oprah, on the Red Carpet at the Oscars two years ago, hoping to see "The Butler" win an award (The movie was total bullshit, just like "Hidden Figures".), told the American public, that "Millions of blacks had been lynched".
From the end of the Civil War until the Civil Rights Legislation was signed into law, right at 4500 people were lynched in the US. 3200 were black and 1200 were white.
None received Due Process. All were accused of serious, violent crimes.
The pretense that evil whites were running around with nothing to do but hang innocent minorities plays well in the above mentioned publications. It keeps the base riled up and hating on whitey.
Follow the money.

ReplyDeleteGarmin got 194 H1-B visas approved since 2013 for their Olathe, KS location alone. The salary for these visas were between 87,000-99,000 dollars per year. An H1B visa is for industries that cannot find qualified applicants at the salary rate.
KU, KSU, MU, UMKC, Mo Sci & Tech, Rockhurst, Emporia State, Wichita State and Washburn all offer degrees in computer science and programming.
Do you really think they couldn't find qualified workers willing to take an entry level software job paying 87k/yr?
Shame on you, Garmin!
Byron D. Funkhouser, a German liberal, democrat, proven liar who loves the Nazi word along with, redneck, idiot, moron, cocksucker, racist, bigot, extremist, right winger...need I say more?
ReplyDeleteByron's assumption that ANYONE whose opinion is different then his on Trump or politics in general is a retrograde reprobate, defines Byron, as a Fascist-Retrograde-Reprobate. The narcissistic assumption that your conclusions, YOUR politics, YOUR causes and ideas are innately superior to others, is a constant theme on the Left.
ReplyDeleteThere is violence in this story, but, make no mistake, the violence and intimidation from the Left, for the last 2 years is far, far more serious.
Have a great day.
Byron, you seem to consider yourself a minor e-celeb here at the swamp that is Tony's Kansas City. You frequently mention Mark and Gloria Funkhouser in a very negative light. You post as if your family name means that we should give your opinions extra weight (nobody else posts using their Christian name).
ReplyDeleteHave you ever provided any documentation that you are who you say you are? Maybe a timestamped photo of some sort? If you are going to claim to be an insider we should be given some proof.
What bogus bullshit!!
ReplyDeleteTry not only blaming the corrupt public schools, but also Hillary Clinton who is now saying for everyone to resist the Government, and it looks like that is what they are doing.
And Bryon Funkhouser is calling Republicans thugs.....How funny.
where's TKC's man-crush, "activist" Albonzo , getting his panties in a bunch again,
ReplyDeletethis time because the dead Indian is getting more press than shot-up blacks?
We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions. – Ronald Reagan
ReplyDelete"...a faceless mass, waiting for handouts." --Ronald Reagan, 1965. (Description of Medicaid recipients.)
Delete^^^^ This!
ReplyDeleteYou can never indict the entire white race based the acts of a minority of Anglos. Are we to assume all Mexicans are drug dealing thugs because of a few LA gangs. Do we accuse the Chinese ethnic group of being criminals because of the existence of well organzied Chinese criminal syndicates in America?
ReplyDeleteThese sick fucks like Funkenshyster need to get over their issues. It is not on one race to get along because YOU feel offended about something that happened with your ancestors. Get the fuck over it. There will be racists and biggots and there will be those who use words you don't like and they will not get your permission to use them. If you can not cut it in that world then end it now and save all of us the misery of listening to the cry baby bullshit. The world is not Utopia. You either learn to survive or fucking parish. No one needs to be your nanny and no one is require to listen to you whine..
Melania Trump was here on the exact visa you guys hate so much.
ReplyDeleteWeez takin' diz country back from the foreignerz!
ReplyDelete10:07 You paint with a wide brush. Why don't you expound and tell us not only what we think, but please describe that Visa we hate? Otherwise people could mistakenly think you are full of shit up to your ears.
ReplyDelete^^^sounds like you've been triggered snowflake. Perhaps you should find your safespace.
ReplyDelete^^^^^ "Simon says, you're a snowflake". Go back to your Mommy's basement.
ReplyDeleteMelania was sent here as a Soviet spy to brainwash Trump with sex and make him a Russian pawn.
ReplyDeleteLabor produces all wealth.
ReplyDeleteAn injury to one is an injury to all.
Labor is entitled to all it produces.
One union, one label, one enemy.
The poor have no right to the property of the employers? Then the employers have no right to the labor of the poor.
You can’t quit the class struggle until you die. Why not struggle to some purpose?
The employers have stolen their property. It belongs to the workers. Organize and take it!
Solidarity is labors one weapon! Educate, Organize, Emancipate.
A scab is a traitor to his race and an enemy to himself.
You can make up your mind to one thing. As long as the boss can mislead you with false glitter you wont have many dollars.
My heart goes out to the family and friends of the young Indian man shot by the racist in Olathe. The father stated that the US is not safe and tells people not to send their children to this country. Unfortunately, no place is safe. Racists are everywhere, in every country.
ReplyDeleteWell get the fuck out of all of them then!!!
ReplyDeleteAnti Nazi Stike Of 1941, Amsterdam, Today, Feb 25th
ReplyDeleteWe don't fight fascist because you voted for Trump, Obama, Clinton, Bush or Reagan. We fight fascist because you're fascist.
ReplyDeleteHow about this .... the New york times runs an Article on Black on white crime?
ReplyDeleteTrump is a symptom of what's been brewing since Ronald Reagan was Governor. Got to give it to the hippie's they brought the fascists out from hiding.
ReplyDelete1:05 You really need to get some counselling
ReplyDelete1:05. The ones displaying the fascist tactics (i.e., trying to stifle free speech through intimidation) are the "Progressives", not the right.
ReplyDeleteThis murder might be a result of the left and their protests.
ReplyDeleteThe agitators get everything stirred up and those with marginal personalities are persuaded to take action.
The left has been wrong for 8 years and has no idea how Hillary lost.
Yet reports are saying that Obama is trying to unite the left and make a comeback. Problem is that Obama is the fricking reason the left lost.
The pendulum has swung far left to right.
The left needs to accept blame for the high murder rate in cities such as Chicago and now Kansas City and shed associations with protesters who protest legitimate Presidents.
They should follow Trump and find a strong slogan and identity and quit befriending fringe groups that only alienate.
Good luck and please send your paycheck to Trump 2020 to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
Trump will say something about this as soon as Bannon tells him to.
ReplyDeleteUh huh, 3:08, same as the MuzzieBro got his from ValJar.
ReplyDeleteDonaldo: Hey, Ronaldo, why will Mexico have to skip the Olympics?
ReplyDeleteRonaldo: Hey, Donaldo, I dunno.
Donaldo: Because everyone who can jump, swim, and run went to the U.S.!
That stupid drunk veteran was wearing his medals looking for a fight with foreigners. It was his fault and his fault alone. Too dumb to tell an Indian from a Arab. That says it all.
ReplyDeleteWe can get rid of fascism and stupidity at the same time.
ReplyDelete...as soon as Tony breaks his keyboard......
