Following what the media has termed a ‘race crime’ and a guilty plea on the part of a man who had a Confederate flag on his truck, Lane County Circuit Judge Ilisa Rooke-Ley (notice the double last names – generally a dead give away in the English-speaking world of the feminist/Leftist ideology of the person in question) has ordered his flag destroyed, the man to attend ‘cultural awareness’ classes in order to be indoctrinated in the state religion of PC multiculturalism and has forbidden him from owning any Confederate flags.
Apparently the man in question was visiting his girlfriend’s home, encountered a non-White person who made a rude gesture at him (likely over his flag on the truck), and then chased the person while yelling racial slurs at him. Judge Ilisa Rooke-Ley has sentenced the man to 18 months for this. In true Orwellian fashion, the man’s attorney says that he is ‘looking forward’ to the mandated ‘cultural awareness’ classes.
Karen McCowen has the full story for the Register-Guard.
I think what the guy did was wrong (two wrongs don’t make a right) insofar as chasing the kid and yelling racial epithets, but I do applaud him expressing pride in the Southern way of life, which I believe made the stupid Yankee feminist Marxist judge angry and have the flag destroyed.
Kudos to Palmetto Patriot for his comments on that article!!
I agree with you, Confederate Papist. It was wrong for this guy to chase down a kid over something the kid said. I mean, somebody needed to be the adult in this situation, but apparently there wasn’t one.
On the other hand, it would have been nice if at some point in this 15 year old’s life somebody would have taught him that he shouldn’t go around making derogatory remarks or gestures toward everyone he disagrees with, especially if he’s outnumbered. Minorities aren’t the only the ones with freedom of speech, you know? Oh, wait…nevermind!
“…one of Booster’s juvenile passengers reportedly told him that the mixed-race victim had made a gesture “seen as disrespectful” to the flag, she said.”
So it’s apparently okay for the victim to make racial slurs, but it’s not okay to defend yourself against them if you are White. Total HYPOCRISY. Racism is just another word for ANTI-WHITE.
Since we don’t know what the kid said, it is difficult to get the full picture of what happened, but I can surmise. Believe me, I live a few hours from where this took place, and there is a lot of “attitude” from the non-white communities up in that area and further north. Up in Portland they have roving gangs of black kids who “flash mob” convenience stores. You only hear about them doing it, and see the footage on the news. You NEVER hear about them being arrested or punished. Sadly the metro areas of Oregon are VERY PC and VERY invested in the Globalist agendas. Down in the south where I am, it is much less so but creeping in daily.
Yes the guy may have gone overboard in chasing the kid down, but what do you do, to stand up to someone who is running away from you after shouting racial slurs at you? Just sit down and shut up? That’s what they want you to do, to quit defending yourself and roll over and die.
Twenty years ago this would have been a non-issue and never have even made it to court because the one that started it would have been viewed as deserving of the hornet’s nest he stirred up. As my mom always said, “don’t dig up snakes just to have to kill them.”
What we have here is some pissant county judge who has clearly exceeded her judicial powers in ordering the flag’s destruction. Unfortunately, it seems as though the defendant, likely on his counsel’s advice, is simply going to roll over. But the two matters, his assault on the one hand and the flag on the other, should be legally separated. She cannot constitutionally order the destruction of symbolic speech. But it’s no surprise to me that she did it: lefties in this country are straining at the bit to be able to stifle politically incorrect speech like their cohorts in Europe and certain Commonwealth countries do. They are all speech Nazis to the core/ I wonder if SCV or SLRC will get involved in this one, since the ACLU apparently won’t.
There is a bio of this black-robed philosopher queen over at the Oregon SOS page:
http://www.oregonvotes.org/pages/history/archive/nov022010/guide/ilisahrrooke-ley.html
“Family: Judge Rooke-Ley and her husband have raised three children, all educated in our public schools.”
In other words, she’s raising her kids to be as half-educated as she is.
@Sanggle-Tooth Jones… that page also says she’s “high school teacher”. THAT explains a lot. I also searched for her and found the election results from 11/2011; she ran unopposed, except for 1.7% write in votes. How sad that no one stood up to oppose her.
Sorry! that should have read… @Snaggle-Tooth Jones… My apologies.
Maybe I am being dense here… but who was actually harmed by these events? Where is an injury to the alleged “victim”? It sounds like this man was thrown in jail for exercising free speech and then to add insult to injury was forced to agree to the unusual punishment (which is prohibited under the UNITED STATES constitution) of destroying private property. The LEOs, prosecutors, judge. state and the alleged victim should be held liable for their actions which led to the violation of this man’s natural rights under “Colour of Law”.
I saw a thread about this on the Southern Heritage Preservation Group. Carl Roden was having another one of his hilarious meltdowns about “racism.”
