One day, they run a NICE photo of Linda Fairstein, sympathetic to the moronic McCarthyism of this stupid finger-pointing witch-hunt-loving world of social media.
Nice photo of Linda. But once she was forced to resign due to a Twitterstorm, the NY POST finds a picture where she looks...GUILTY AS HELL.
Fairstein, a long time city prosecutor and also the author of many books, had a very good reputation until a movie decided she'd be the perfect villainess for a re-write of history.
Apparently the infamous "Central Park Jogger" case, where a white woman was bashed on the head, nearly killed, and most definitely raped, was all about racism.
At the time, "wilding" was going on in lawless Central Park. Kids were out of control, most of them delinquents from bad neighborhoods, and some ethnic parades were turning into brawls as well. The city was on edge. As usual. A bunch of black kids who were up to no good in Central Park were questioned, and some confessed, giving vivid accounts of gangbanging the jogger.
Years passed. A convicted creep confessed that he, alone, attacked the jogger. The black boys were innocent. So that meant that their confessions were coerced, and prosecutor Fairstein? She a racist!
The movie's slant, for these times, is to give the world yet another example of how horrible white people are in general, and Linda Fairstein in particular. In a resignation to one of the many charities she leant her name to, she wrote:
“I do not want to become a lightning rod to inflict damage on this organization, because of those now attacking my record of fighting for social justice for more than 45 years."
Fighting for injustice. Nobody on Twitter wants to hear that shit. All they know is they saw a movie. A drama. An actress (Felicity Huffman, who has her own scandals these days) playing a mean woman who should NEVER show her face in public again.
In resigning from one of the charities, "Safe Horizon," Fairstein underlined her record: “I know the terrible inequities of race, gender, and class that have been a tragically pervasive part of our American criminal justice system for centuries. I have dedicated my career, and my professional and personal passion, to fighting against injustice — and much of that fight has been conducted for and on behalf of the staff and directors at Safe Horizon."
Yeah? Be lucky you aren't lynched. Just sit in limbo like Senator Al Franken and some of the other targets. Odd isn't it, that Liberals scream at the Right Wing for having no heart. But when it comes to tossing one of their own under the infamous bus, the Liberals show no mercy. Should Al Franken really resign for patting a few fannies? The fabulous Senator Jellybrain said YES and pushed him. Should Linda Fairstein resign from CHARITIES she raised money for, because a bunch of gullible Twitter hooligans did a hashtag on her?
YES. Because it wouldn't look good to be tolerant, or understand her point of view, or look at the facts. The mob RULES.
What a bitch, this Fairstein, working for "The Joyful Heart Foundation," "God;s Love We Deliver," and other positive groups.
She has to go underground, especially when The New York Post helps slant things with an unflattering photo of the now-disgraced city official and author. At least they tossed her a teeny-tiny life saver:
"Former federal prosecutor Michael Armstrong, who helped re-investigate the Central Park Five case for the NYPD in 2003, called the backlash against Fairstein “entirely unjustified.”
“The idea she did anything to be criticized for is absurd,” he said.
Armstrong, who was chief counsel to the anti-police corruption Knapp Commission in the 1970s, also said it was wrong to treat the dramatized series like evidence, adding that “in my day we used to call that McCarthyism.”
Today MOB RULE is disguised as CHANGE.ORG. A sanctimonious bunch of finger-pointers decided to gather signatures and DEMAND that bookstores and libraries no longer stock Fairstein's books. How about the stock they already have? Anyone for a BOOK BURNING?
These books may be informative and entertaining and have gotten good reviews but...SHE A RACIST!
Somehow the climate in this country now is for some illiterates with no jobs to howl about forcing somebody else to be unemployed.
The combination of ignorance and jealousy yields raised pitchforks and a gleeful demand that somebody high on the food chain get kicked into the mud.
Fairstein had in front of her a set of mug shots of "children?" Do they look like "Children" to YOU?
Any story can be slanted and dramatized to suit an agenda. The facts at the time were that "wilding" was going on in Central Park, and scumbags from uptown, downtown, other boroughs, were coming into the park for no other reason than to cause trouble. That could be mugging, bullying, raping, or any other anti-social activities. The job of the police involved finding the culprits. The newspapers at the time printed vivid confessions that didn't seem coerced or made up; a bunch of delinquents looking for trouble found a jogger alone and attacked her.
Let's also remember that from her injuries, which nearly killed her, it seemed like five guys attacked her, not one (as it turned out). But Fairstein's job was to take the police information and prosecute a case.
In this weird PC world, you never know who is going to be the next sacrificial lamb. An old white woman IS a perfect and defenseless target when it comes to showing how you sympathize with young men "of color." On the other hand, a guy named Tyson Fury, who can make millions of dollars amusing people by fighting, is excused for shouting that Jews control all the banks. Michael Jackson imitators are being booked all over the world, because, hey, seeing some jerk do a moonwalk and wear a white glove is so much fun, there's no point in grumbling about a few kids who were sexually molested. Donald Trump of course, shouted "grab 'em by the pussy," but Jellybrain (Gillibrand) didn't scream that he should resign...it had to be that fanny-patter Al Franken. We all know Trump is corrupt, she seems to be saying, but let me show you how I can self-righteously shove one of my own...a guy who is ahead of me as a much more valued and competent member of the United States Senate.
And so it goes, as Mr. Vonnegut would say. Jews who said "Never Again" have witnessed holocaust denial and the continued abuse of tombstones overturned, random violence, and BDS sanction demands. And people who vowed "Never again" to McCarthyism and blacklisting are now seeing people scared out of their minds that they'll be the next to be accused and condemned in the same sentence.
In a sane society, people who think Fairstein did something wrong would be entitled to their opinion, and she'd be entitled to sell her books to anyone who wants them, and to use her celebrity to bring donations to worthy causes. But not even George Orwell, who may have predicted there would be a Big Brother named GOOGLE, and even politicians such as Putin and Trump, could not conceive of a monster called Social Media.
