I have mixed feelings about the performance, but after Frozen, a lot of younger people are hearing "Joni Mitchell's classic, River" introduced by guys like Fallon. Betsy ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2014 00:41:55 -0500 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: NYC cops were murdered; an analysis, njc Two police officers were killed in NYC, but there's more to it than appears. Yes, the killer had some footage of a peace march on his phone. It turns out he was not whipped into a killing frenzy by a peaceful march at all. He was a career criminal, with many convictions for violent crime. He first killed his girlfriend, and then the two police officers, and then he killed himself. What ties all of this together, is that he was a deranged killer. In a blog, he said that he intended to even the score for black men killed by cops, but that "claim" is a lie. In fact, both of the cops were men of color. Look, I respect that cops have hard jobs and I thank them for their service, but... >>Patrick Lynch, (president of police union) said: "Therebs blood on many hands tonight: those that incited violence on the street under the guise of protests, that tried to tear down what New York City police officers did every day.">> If I may paraphrase Mr. Lynch, he hates free speech and anyone who expresses their opinion should expect to be accused of murders that they did not commit. With this statement, he reveals that he is a HUGE part of the problem. There are many people spinning this into: 1. Cops are not accountable for recklessly killing people; children who wave around toy guns are to blame. 2. Violent, repeat offenders are not accountable for recklessly killing people, it is the fault of peaceniks. Does this sound right? Anyone?
