The Left choose so many weird heros.
Even the likes of the most popular, Che Guevara, for example, don't really pass the sniff test. He was a mass murderer and a tyrant. You did things his way, or it's lined up against a wall and shot, for you, capitalist pig!
Mao Tse-tung the same, only immeasurably worse. Responsible for the death of 100 million of his fellow citizens. And the untold miseries of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Yeah, right.
Stalin, anyone? Lenin? Mass murderers both, each worse than Hitler.
Lately the Left have taken to every type of common criminal. George Floyd's 2020 death was deemed murder by cop. Every Republican I know decried it. But not enough for the Left. Floyd had to be sacralised. This, a serial felon, engaged, at the time of his arrest, in yet another felony and high on a toxic mix of heroin and fentanyl.
Their latest favourite of the Left is anyone that the Trump administration is after. And anyone who kills a someone they deem to be a fascist or a nazi. Which is pretty much anyone who disagrees with them.
Kilmar Albrego Garcia? Illegal immigrant. MS-13 member. Wife-beater with 3 restraining orders against him, human trafficker, drug dealer. Overstayer. Sentenced, by due process, to be deported, twice, upheld on Appeal. But he too had to be lionised and protected by the Left.
That's gotten wider now, that net of the Left's Heros: To include anyone that the Trump administration deems to be subject to deportation. And murderers. They love me some murderers! Like Luigi Mangioni, who murdered a Healthcare executive in cold blood on the streets of Manhattan. Lionised because he killed a horrid highly-paid executive. (Who had no history of any convictions at all. No matter. He's a nasty capitalist, oppressing the working classes. And Luigi didn't like him).
The latest? A eulogy for a known terrorist:
Cuban authorities have not said what caused the late Joanne Chesimard’s death. They say only that the 78-year-old passed away from health complications arising from old age, and we have no reason to disbelieve them. Chesimard spent the last 40 years residing comfortably in Havana as a guest of the communist state: a teacher, a writer, a lecturer, and, most important — indeed, her foremost value to the Cuban regime — a fugitive from American justice.
The nom de guerre by which Chesimard is known to most Americans, Assata Olugbala Shakur, is more likely to trigger dim recollections of the crimes that made her into a figure of veneration among those who promote the notion that the United States of America is an illegitimate regime. In his book, Days of Rage, the author Bryan Burrough described her as “the purest expression of revolutionary ardor” — “a ferocious, machine-gun-toting, grenade-tossing, spitting-mad Bonnie Parker for the 1970s, an archetype for a series of badass heroines heralded in Foxy Brown, Get Christie Love!, and other blacksploitation films of the day.”
A City College student before falling in with elements that would later compose the Black Liberation Army, Shakur was an instrumental element of many of the outfit’s plots, most of which were designed to foment revolution in America by first killing cops. Shakur evaded justice until 1973 when she and her BLA associates were pulled over on the side of the New Jersey Turnpike. Read on...
