We interrupt our regular streams about racism, war and carnage over several ponds to bring news related to gun violence and racism here at home.
Tuesday was the 55th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King. This week's civic eruptions arise after a mass shooting last week at a Christian school in Nashville that left 3 (white) children and 3 (white) adults besides the shooter dead. By all accounts the shooter had serious mental health issues. The shooter's own parents had been pleading for years to enact red flag laws to try to keep guns away from their child.
Shout out to the #TennesseeThree democratic TN lawmakers: two young Black legislators expelled and one white woman who survived an expulsion vote by one vote.
Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloria nailed it and Twitter commentators perhaps unintentionally confirmed the story. The Tuesday before the Thursday vote, Representative Johnson was visited by a lawyer from the TN Legislature's ethics committee. The lawyer told her if she resigned she would not lose her insurance. Kind of "Please don't make us do something icky."
A voice on Twitter mentioned that maybe Rep. JOhnson kept her seat because someone was worried about her losing her insurance. RantWoman read no such concern about the two young Black legislators. Instead the speculation was that they would get a lot of publicity as if fame is how people keep their insurance.
Another galling point: Rep. Johnson had two lawyers with her on the floor while the amendment about her was being voted on. Neither of the two Black legislators had lawyers with them. NO elected official should need lawyers on the floor in order to do their jobs!
RantWoman forgets which video linked below shows Rep. Pearson enumerating all the disgusting behaviors white men have NOT been expelled from the Legislature for.
The last flavor of intellectual swill oozing out of RantWoman's Twitter feed calls the TN protests against inaction in the face of children getting slaughtered in school an "insurrection." Let's see all you nice #BackTheBlue folks:
#J6: At least 4 dead police officers and 140 officers seriously injured. Over 1000 people arrested for violent felonies.
Nashville Protests: 0 dead policemen. 0 reported injuries of police officers that RantWoman is aware of. NO arrests for violent felonies. Just some white men with their Fee-fees hurt.
It's the guns. It's the guns.
RantWoman will now let the videos speak for themselves.
Do Better y'all!
