I think he cannot imagine that anyone would care about these victims, so he assumes that there is some ulterior motive for reading these stories. This echoes the conservative memes that liberals are "performative" in their virtue, wishing only to show that they are deeply caring individuals and look good in the eyes of others, not that liberal actually feel any empathy for those in trouble. Like conservatives, Somerby implies that liberals are only pretending to be good people, only tsk-tsking over shootings to feel virtuous, not to be virtuous. <br /><br />Somerby perhaps thinks this because he himself feels no empathy, does not care about 16-year old Ma'Khia. Has never had a child and thus cannot appreciate the connection a parent, even a flawed one, feels for that child. Somerby cannot understand that each of us who has attachments understands how we would feel upon losing them and thus can resonate to Bryant's mother's loss. It is not faked virtue but a genuine sense of what it would mean to us if we were in that situation. <br /><br />To call such empathy "porn" is one of the more deplorable things Somerby has written, among quite a few truly ugly statements in the past few weeks. It is no wonder he feels increasingly more comfortable over at Fox, with Tucker Carlson, who will make him feel like his callousness is "normal" and justified because liberals are all faking it when they call for an end to such shootings.<br /><br />If conservatives can portray BLM as nothing more than an excuse to break windows, then they need not rein in the excesses of the police, need not deal with racism in our institutions, and can keep a system that benefits them in place unchanged. This is the position Somerby has been arguing, and his daily attempt to malign liberal concern as nothing more than porn, performative virtue signaling, is just a dressed up version of the conservative line.

That's what God wants me to do. I am in God's hands. Ma'Khia, I believe, is in heaven. She's an angel.<br /><br />She repeatedly says that the killing must stop.<br /><br />Somerby says she is stupid and hysterical, or in his words "intellectually or emotionally challenged". <br /><br />If you read the interview, it would have been especially crass for Cuomo to ask a grieving mother (who was neither present nor involved in the incident), why her child was in foster care. But Somerby complains because he didn't do that. Inquiring minds want Cuomo to ask this mother how she contributed to her daughter's death by failing to keep her daughter out of the foster care system. No doubt, Somerby would have asked.<br /><br />Somerby's demeaning term "porn" for the efforts to maintain the humanity of shooting victims reveals his own lack of empathy, his lack of understanding of what life can be like for those in less fortunate circumstances than his own. This lack of empathy is one of the distinguishing hallmarks of their town versus ours. Whatever his problems, Cuomo is a better human being than Somerby, whose callousness is revealed in every word he writes as he tries to blame the victims for police incompetence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-60833596637072261572021-04-30T11:22:19.970-04:002021-04-30T11:22:19.970-04:00@11:10 AM

His opinion here is apparently that Bryant deserved to be shot and her relatives are making up good things about her afterwards to try to get the cops in trouble.

Ther [sic] of..."The decedent was a lovely kid. Ther [sic] officer had overreacted."<br /><br />Obviously the officer overreacted. He shot a 16-year-old girl embroiled in a domestic quarrel. Her loveliness doesn't matter. She was 16. She was a girl. She was having the kind of dispute most teens have at that age, but she didn't survive. Unlike nearly every white kid on the face of this earth.<br /><br />Somerby objects to the family remembrances of her. No one should be remembered by their worst moments. (Our worst moments shouldn't result in being shot by cops either.) He thinks that if she were less fondly remembered that might justify her killing. Earth-to-Somerby: IT DOESN'T. <br /><br />Humanizing the victim is an attempt to undo the wrong done by the police who killed her. If she were a blood-thirsty serial killer, cornered at the end of a police chase, she still shouldn't be killed by police -- she should be tried and convicted by a court before having a sentence executed upon her. Instead, the cops shot her without knowing her side of what was happening, without any attempt to defuse the situation or dearm her. They just shot her. And that is wrong no matter what kind of person she was.<br /><br />When Somerby attempts to limit the good things said about a shooting victim, as his complaint today is clearly trying to do, he pretends that there is some justification for the cops based on the goodness or lack of goodness of the person who was shot. That is nonsense. It is not how our legal system works, and it is entirely irrelevant to evaluating the facts of the situation.<br /><br />The main question is why trained police cannot prevent a 16 year old girl armed with a 6-inch steak knife from harming herself or others, without shooting her upon first sight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-87159102422674261182021-04-30T10:52:49.199-04:002021-04-30T10:52:49.199-04:00Why are Black people still calling the cops just b...Why are Black people still calling the cops just because someone is trying to stab someone with a knife years after BLM declared that ACAB?

He cannot stand to think about the girl as a human being, with strengths and weaknesses, desires and needs -- as a person. He calls this description of her "ugly", just as he tries mightily to portray Maddow as disfigured.<br /><br />This ugliness is coming from within Somerby, not the reports he maligns here daily. A girl in crisis was shot for waving around a steak knife, by an ignorant cop who didn't know how to defuse the situation (or didn't bother trying). And Somerby calls the girl ugly for having a positive side, for having family and friends who will miss her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-62402720501563493762021-04-30T10:30:14.793-04:002021-04-30T10:30:14.793-04:00"Butler's a good, decent person.

He mentions someone or something only to tell us that he is not going to talk about them. He promises to return to them, but often doesn't. This amounts to just a waste of space, which is why it so often seems like Somerby is padding his essays much like someone who is being paid by the word. Another word for this is "self-indulgent" and he clearly has little respect for his readers or he would go back and edit these sorts of remarks out of his draft.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-11698907571277564582021-04-30T10:10:25.108-04:002021-04-30T10:10:25.108-04:00We do know the standard parts of storyline porn, d...We do know the standard parts of storyline porn, dear Bob. <br /><br />Are you going to try to analyze <i>why</i> this Orwellian shit is happening? <br /><br />And no, dear Bob, 'humyn beings are like that' is not accepted.
