BLM is very upset that Renee Good has become the official martyr to ICE because she’s a white woman. And they desperately want to talk about Keith Porter Jr who is a black man who was shot by an ICE officer. Why doesn’t the media want to talk about Keith Porter Jr? Probably because he’s a worse martyr even by the standards of a woman who tried to run over an ICE officer.
How much worse can you get? Well Porter was firing an AK-47.
Friends, relatives and civil rights advocates gathered at a candlelight vigil on Saturday night to remember a man killed by an off-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Northridge on New Year’s Eve, calling for transparency and accountability in the investigation.
He was firing an AK-47. How much transparency do you really want here?
DHS says the agent ordered Porter to put down the weapon and, when he did not comply, the off-duty officer fired his service weapon. The agency claims Porter fired three rounds at the agent before he died.
But it’s a tradition.
Advocates say Porter had been firing the gun into the air as a way of observing the holiday — a practice routinely condemned by law enforcement officials.
“Yes, it was illegal, but at the end of the day, it’s an American tradition,” said organizer Najee Ali, the director of Project Islamic Hope.
I think it’s more of an Islamic tradition.
Black Lives Matter-Los Angeles — of which Porter was a member — said in a news release that the vigil was organized to memorialize the 33-year-old father and call for an independent investigation into his death.
“We want to recognize that one of the worst imaginable injustices has been committed, and there will be time for us to protest,” Melina Abdullah, a co-director of Black Lives Matter Grassroots, said during the vigil.
BLM LA is the worst of the BLM chapters and Abdullah is one of the worst BLM figures. She also has an on and off feud with Najee Ali.
Black nationalists meanwhile are upset that everyone is talking about the white woman who drove an SUV at an on-duty ICE officer and not the black man firing an AK-47 at an off-duty ICE officer. This is systemic racism and it will not stand.
While the entire country continues to mourn the horrific death of a U.S. citizen in Minnesota, another family is grieving the lost of a black man in California, whose death involving a different ICE agent has barely received national coverage.
I agree. The systemic injustice of men being shot after firing AK-47s for no other reason than their race really needs to be addressed.
