We don't have the right to self-defense
That's why Breonna Taylor's boyfriend was blamed for her murder
Hi there, I didn’t post last week because I was on vacation. It was fun and I’m very sad it’s over. Today I’m sharing my feelings about a judge blaming Breonna Taylor’s murder on her boyfriend. Onto the news…
News that made say the United States of America is the land of the unfree
A judge dropped felony charges against the two cops who murdered Breonna Taylor and ruled that it was Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker’s fault that she was murdered. How was it Kenneth’s fault that two state sanctioned murderers killed his girlfriend? It’s Kenneth’s fault because Kenneth had the silly notion that he has the right to self-defense.
When seven plain clothes officers broke into his girlfriend’s home, Kenneth should have offered them a nice cup of tea instead of reacting how any normal human would when they feel threatened. Kenneth chose to fire a gun instead of brewing some hot water to protect himself and his partner and so it’s his fault that she’s dead.
Next time a bunch of criminals break into your home, be sure to offer them some tea instead of moving a muscle because it will be your fault when they kill you. Chamomile tea is preferable because it makes people more calm and sleepy. Also make sure the water is already ready because approaching boiling water when intruders are in your home may lead them to get scared and kill you.
So really as a Black person be sure to have hot tea ready in a flask at all times to make sure you are safe from the police. Just be careful while grabbing the flask so the cops don’t think it’s a gun and kill you.
Actually maybe just try not being a Black person and the cops might not kill you. I know that one’s hard because I personally love being Black and won’t give it up for anything, but do you really want the judge to have an excuse to blame you for your death when the cops kill you?
I know that Breonna Taylor would never find justice from the same system that murdered her. To be clear, I don’t think imprisoning the cops who murdered Breonna would be justice. Abolishing the police and the evil empire is the only way Breonna could ever get justice. Just like abolishing naps is the one way to make sure I’m more cranky and unhappy than I already am.
Blaming Breonna’s boyfriend for her death is a clear indication from the judge that Black people don’t have the right to self-defense in this country. Additionally, it reinforces the notion that we don’t have a right to defend ourselves against the state.
Shocker! A state built on slavery and genocide doesn’t want citizens to defend themselves against it. Who would have ever thought that a government that thinks genocide is legal and objecting against genocide is reprehensible would say fighting against it is illegal?
I mean I’ve never heard of a genocidal state that is open to dissent, but I thought the United States of America was exceptional. I thought the United States of America was the land of the free and the home of the brave. I would say there is nothing more brave than allowing your “free” citizens to fight against an autocratic state.
Of course allowing citizens to actually fight against autocracy when you are the autocrat means the autocracy will come to an end. So maybe this is the land of the unfree and the home of the “make sure you make the police comfortable so they don’t kill you even if you don’t know they are the police”.
That’s it for the news but don’t go yet
I posted my thoughts on Kamala Harris’ presidential run on TikTok last week.
We have everything we need to free each other. Keep fighting for a better world. We can do it.
