Tough Rhetoric Does Not Cause Violence

I see folks handing around the Tweetable Guide To Media Myths And Left-wing Violence in the wake of the murder of Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu yesterday. Some folks are sending it around in protest of the claims from media and the authorities that anti-police rhetoric should not take the blame for this atrocity. But that's not quite the point of the Tweetable Guide.

My problem with media coverage of violence is that the media and sometimes even public authorities reflexively and without any evidence blame conservatives and conservative ideas for violence. And that ignorant blaming of conservatives always seems to turn out to be incorrect later. After those two issues comes my final point: much of the high-profile violence that gets blamed on conservatives actually come from folks in at least one (and sometimes more than one) category: crazy, leftist, or Islamist.

Nasty rhetoric may contribute to a crazy killer or leftist killer or Islamist killer's self-justification for his actions. But it generally is not the cause of premeditated violence. We should be cautious about blaming the anti-police rhetoric that followed the grand jury verdicts in Ferguson and on Staten Island without more evidence. That's what the media does to us and it usually turns out wrong.

If it is true that Ismaaiyl Brinsley was motivated by rhetoric then that is a really big deal. But I don't know why he killed those police officers and neither do you yet. Generally, however, rhetoric doesn't just set somebody off. Wait for more facts. And, if you're betting, he'll probably fall into one of the other categories when this all shakes out.

Possibly, although it would be extremely difficult to find clear causation.

But I would argue that the nasty rhetoric is very possibly the catalyst for increased levels of violence.

Boy, sure wish the cops had those mystical guns.

6 Well Gabe, I'm guessing you're not one of those that would just go out and win one for the Gipper.

Be sure, mind you, that if someone has enough testosterone in them, words can build up feelings and turn them into action. It happens all the time, it's coaches jobs to use words to create action. Heck, it's the Inman's jobs to as well, Obummer does it as well.

Yes, it is very much likely that those two cops would still be alive today if it wasn't for triggering rhetoric.

7 You fail to mention the thug was a Muslim.

***

He was a Muslim, but there's no indication that his religion had anything to do with this. He appears to be just a thug... a lousy, no-good, lacking-in-value animal without self-restraint or respect for human life.

HE pulled the trigger but, if anyone might be complicit, it is Louis Farrakhan, he of the "Tear this G*****m country up!" and "If they kill one of ours..." rhetoric.

I read one article this morning that said the killer AH was associated
with some kind of gang in MD. I still blame Obama, Holder, Sharpton, and
the MFM at large. My feeling is this guy was already a borderline
psychotic and the hate speech from the individuals above combined with
the outright lies put out (and still being put out( by the MFM pushed
him over the line.



But the big question is that if he was doing it as revenge for Ferguson and the NYC black, why did he shoot his GF first?

What you're missing Gabe, is that the conservative ideas and rhetoric so often pointed to by the media as calls for violence are anything but. Symbols on a map, calls for small government. That's not a call for violence in any way, shape or form. Tell me why the quotes I started my post with aren't a call for violence. I don't think you can do it. You want me to link the video? How about protestors with "All my heroes kill cops" signs?

38 The tea partiers got the blame for a lot of violence based on a very vague assertion that their rhetoric was violent. The connections were barely even tenuous. In this case we have individuals very clearly and unambiguously calling for violence, with a murder committed in the aftermath. Yes, the man who pulled the trigger it's ultimately responsible, but let's not pretend that we're dealing with analogous situations.

Posted by: Paul at December 21, 2014 11:44 AM (y8cqw)

39 But I don't know why he killed those police officers and neither do you yet.

Other than the fact that he called it "revenge" for the death of a man at the hands of the NYPD, you mean?

What we don't know is whether this man killed the cops as a result of being prompted by left wing rhetoric and violence encouragement. We'll probably never know that.

But if the left is willing to blame the random shooting of a politician by a pot smoking madman in Arizona on a Sarah Palin image with a target portrayed on a city, then they have to either change that stupidity or be consistent and blame themselves for this, which is why people are passing around that bit.

SEIU leaders Unions Leaders are Held to a standard when they speak and incite hate against others. Scabs blah blah.

NOT a big question at all. Remember the guy who shot all those people from the Tower of a Building in Texas: He tok out his family first. When your going to go out in blaze of "Glory", you often tie up loose ends. So did that kid from CT: Shot his mother before going to the school.

52 The President of the United States urged people to murder cops, act in violation of the law, and to disregard the idea of the rule of law as it pertains to them.

The President of the United States urged lawlessness, violence, and racist supremacist actions against those he hates - cops, non-African Americans, non-gays, non-Muslims.

The President of the United States of America inspired, encouraged, and approved of murder, assault, theft, arson, and mayhem as long as it wasn't against his favored mascots.

The President of the United States of America is guilty of organizing and fomenting violence and murder.

55 When the rhetoric is that Michael Brown was executed and it drowns out the simple fact that he wasn't, is it wrong to blame that rhetoric (and those who shout it) that Ferguson burned?

No, it isn't.

The simple fact is that conservative 'rhetoric' has not been demonstrated to cause profligate violence. But leftist rhetoric that constantly ramps up all the way to 'Kill Cops' has, and does.

If they're saying 'Kill Cops,' I have no doubt to believe that they believe their rhetoric.

But you can't compare a few throw away lines by conservatives and crosshairs on Sarah Palin's web site to the vile anti-cop hatred streaming from the likes of Sharpton, de Blasio, Farrakhan, etc.

No, words didn't force the dude to pull the trigger, but you can't deny the anti-cop climate created over the past few months by people who SHOULD have the cops' backs.

There were gangs in the 70s that executed cops in NYC for political reasons. The Black Liberation Army


This guy belonged to a gang like that, that promised hits on cops in retaliation for Brown and Garner


This guy had been talking about that on line for weeks. Check the Daily Mail. Look at his tweets and Instagram.


He traveled frequently between Atlanta Brooklyn and Baltimore with a stop in Oakland. Why. On gang business? Community organizing? Protesting?

83 My problem with media coverage of violence is that the media and sometimes even public authorities reflexively and without any evidence blame conservatives and conservative ideas for violence.


Here's a fun hypothetical: suppose the media hadn't covered the cases of St. Trayvon, St. Swisher, or St. Loosie in such an inflammatory way. No pictures of them as eight-year olds, no showcasing criminal co-conspirators friends' bullshit claims regarding the perp, no repeating things said or supposedly said by the perp. Instead, each story was treated as it deserved to be: a one-inch column on page C17 of the local newspaper, and a ten-second blurb on the local TV news. In short, the way the corresponding cases of a white perp would be and are treated, and justifiably so.


Would the shooting of the two cops have happened?


I'm guessing "no." So please don't essentially take the position that words are just words, and don't matter. In the closest analogy to the MSM, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion mattered. Mein Kampf mattered. Das Kapital and the Koran mattered, and each still matters. There's a reason why the MSM bury the race of particularly vicious criminals who aren't white.

That's very well put. Whether he was driven or spurred to this by the rhetoric or not, the connection is not hard to see. He's been writing about killing cops for a while now, but only did it recently - driving to another city to do so. Now, granted, on the East Coast you live like 10 minutes from the next big city, but still, its an effort.

Something changed in him, something triggered this, motivating him to go from rhetoric to action.

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at December 21, 2014 12:01 PM (39g3+)

99 Throughout history, lefty rhetoric has indeed sparked violence, sometimes with horrific body counts. You could make a good case that violence is at the heart of almost all lefty rhetoric.

From the killing fields of Pol Pot, to the pogroms in Russia to Hitler's well documented slaughter of millions, it's violence all the way down. Even our new friends in Cuba relied on violence and lots of it to gain and keep power.

And if you think violence isn't in the heart of our current lefties, read some of the works of Ayers, Dohrn and their fellow travelers. Not only did they engage in violence but they preached that much more would be needed, in the tens of millions, to achieve their socialist paradise.

It may turn out that it is difficult to tie this particular case to any one speech or action but don't kid yourself that when you live in a bubble that treats violence as a legitimate tool in achieving your aims then violence will happen.

Right, it gives them religious justification for their race hate. They hate white people, but our society teaches that race hate is wrong, Islam helps them square that circle.

It's true that the cops he killed were hispanic and asian, but 1) hispanics are white, 2) it's not clear he even saw them close enough to tell their races/ethnicity -- the asian cop could have easily looked white to him.

They were probably the first cops he ran into that he could sneak up on. He saw two light-skinned cops in a cop car. I doubt he would have killed a black cop. Hard to tell.

The Reds use the Muslims as a cat's paw. The Muslims (here) use Red agitation for "rights" as cover. It's symbiotic. Each uses the other, and thinks that when the time comes, they'll deal with the other.

These murders are the natural result of the Jihad on cops that TheRevAl deBlasioNYC has called for. They should be held accountable.

Much as the Weather Underground types used the Black Panthers.

As soon as I heard about the deal with Cuba the first thing I did was check out Bill Ayers for a comment (his grandfather was the legal counsel for Cuba after Castro's revolution and Bill Ayers' history is intertwined with Cuba in many ways). Not only did he sppoge all over himself with joy but he immediately called for the US to "keep their hand off" cop killer Joanne Chesimard who has been hiding in plain sight in Cuba for years.

Will this make it easier or harder for police departments around the country to recruit good people to be cops? Will this make it easier or harder to have cops be "under control" in tense situations?

But a completely different author wrote this:

After those two issues comes my final point: much of the high-profile violence that gets blamed on conservatives actually come from folks in at least one (and sometimes more than one) category: crazy, leftist, or Islamist.

Right engages in heated, but sane, rhetoric when a leftist dirtbag acts out the violent chants of thousands of protesters calling for violence against cops -- and Media tells us we better calm down our rhetoric. And the well-fed Right does as well.

And we all know that if another black criminal gets killed in two months, or another fake rape at a college campus, the Media will go right back to their batshit insane rhetoric.

We are the only ones who ever are told to calm down. And we're told to calm down even when we're right.

He was not strangled to death. If anything, the cop kneeling on him after he released his neck hold and when Garner started saying he couldn't breathe might have contributed to his death.

The real cause was his obesity, his high blood pressure, his asthma and his refusal to comply with the police when they told him he was under arrest. A situation he was well aware of given that he had previously been arrested some 30 times and he was only on the street because he was on parole.

273 That Garner could speak was consistent with the NYC medical examiner's findings. He was able to force air from his lungs across his vocal chords, but he couldn't get air back in. The same way a mouse squeaks when a boa constrictor is squeezing the life out of it. Every time Garner begged for police to ease their hold on him, his life shortened. A chokehold can either cut off air intake through the windpipe or cut off the carotid artery sending blood to the brain. You smart military blog readers should know this stuff.

278 The difference between rhetoric and incitement is not all that fine a line. Positing a moral equivalence between "Taxed Enough Already" (with its subtext of 'throw the bums out') and "Kill The Cops" (with its subtext of...well... 'kill the cops') is fundamentally dishonest.

279 It's not that any particular rhetoric causes violence. Rhetoric, frequently repeated and incorporated into the culture until it becomes the prevailing wisdom and that is also given the appearance of acceptance or support by authorities moves the window of potential actions that people will undertake on their own.

Rhetoric didn't cause the American Revolution. But we didn't get to the point of having a bunch of angry colonists willing to take their cause to the field of battle by everyone sitting around silently. Rhetoric was employed that made the idea of fighting to be separate broadly enough accepted that the population was willing to join the fight.

291 Well, needless to say you can´t blame people for arguing for "Justice for ...".

Now, you can blame people for inciting murder ("What do we want? Dead cops!") or perhaps even for studiously turning a blind eye to incitement to murder.

Especially given the Giffords Standard, where conservatives can be blamed for inciting someone to murder without sharing any viewpoint or motivation whatsoever with the offender.

Doubly so as under the Giffords Standard there is no need for any actual incitement to take place.

Don't look at me, I generate form letters. I would point out to really half-smart idiots like yourself that one of the symptoms of a heart attack is the feeling of being unable to breath. This is not because your trachea or lungs are compressed - though your lungs may be fairly full of fluid - but because your heart is not pumping enough to oxygenate your brain.

But you with your PhD in Physiology and Law Enforcement from John Hopkins probably know that already so I bow to your greater knowledge.

He was saying "I can't breathe" after the "choke hold" was released (go ahead, watch the video, I'll wait). He was not squeaking it out like a tasty mouse morsel in the clutches of a boa as you suggest. He wasn't saying "I can't breathe" because of the choke hold, he couldn't breathe (comfortably) because he was in respiratory distress due to his asthma, his health, his weight and the prone position they left him in.

Garner weighed 350 lbs. not 600 lbs. But five cops sitting on his back didn't help his lungs or his heart.

Regardless, there was no cause to arrest him, no need to restrain him in that manner and likewise no reason once he was cuffed the EMT couldn't treat him. It's all on video and heartbreaking to watch.

Ask a different question: is there a high correlation between provocative rhetoric from government officials, celebrities and media types and violence? Now what's the answer?

I am beyond being "fair" to those who undermine our way of life. I have no problem charging DeBlasio with "causing" the murders. Let him explain it. Let him make Gabe's argument in public and see how that goes. Make them own their BS over and over and over again.

He was a killer who chose two of his targets because of rhetoric.

350 Gabe and much of the establishment Right shares the same fear of strong rhetoric from the Right as the Left does.

That fear is why newspapers won't ID black criminals but will white criminals -- an irrational fear that right-wingers are a couple crazy angry speeches away from joining the KKK en masse.

So every time the Right gets legitimately angry -- at say some cops getting executed in broad daylight -- they see their role as trying to calm the savage beast.

It's transparent and annoying.

I am no fan of police overreach, and the level of violence directed at citizens among many police departments is a national disgrace. But that is appropriately dealt with in the courts and the legislatures and local oversight.

I just watched the video again and you're being highly selective. When he initially took him down one arm was around his neck, and the other under his arm. When the officer has him on the ground, his left arm is against Garner's neck and the right arm is holding it in place. It is not under the armpit.

Posted by: Insomniac at December 21, 2014 01:25 PM (mx5oN)

364 I'm not sure what "facts" I'm supposed to be waiting on.

The killer said he was killing cops because of racist cops killing unarmed black men as part of a 2fer revenge strategy. "They take one of ours, we take two of theirs" pretty much sums it up unless you really want to find three-dimensional chess explanations.

The rest of the argument is just sophistry and hair-splitting. I don't think any (or at least many) of us are arguing that "What do we want - Dead Cops" rhetoric was the prime mover "cause" of these deaths. But it played a role.

The cheering for dead cops crossed a line. The constant race-baiting, gas-canning and over-the-top rhetoric is irresponsible and contributes to this happening.

Does that mean we should regulate this kind of speech beyond what we do now? No, but we should criticize, socially shun and stigmatize those who let their mouths run off like that. They're deeply wrong and what they're saying is quite immoral. And there's a reason why incitement to violence and advocacy of violence are legal offenses. Yes that toes a difficult line and their use should be limited to clear violations, but at some point we've agreed as a society that saying "kill them" is sanctionable in and of itself under certain circumstances.

There's no need for concern-trolling our dot-connecting on this. This isn't McVeigh or Loughner. What Gabe is doing here is similar to the Australian search for anything but Islam in the recent hostage taking. As with this case, the perp there couldn't have been more clear about where he was coming from, but some people just don't want to hear what the bad guys are saying.

Gabe, you often make good points with your posts. This is not one of them. You totally screwed the pooch on this, by both blaming conservatives for getting upset when we are wrongly accused of inciting violence, when it's merely the Left's contortions of our words to accuse us wrongly, and by not accepting the fact that the Left does seek violence against those who say no to their ambitions, and are willing to incite the minions with their words.

381 "Yes, tough rhetoric is partly to blame.The Overton Window has shifted to

call for the assassination of their political enemies."

That's part of my point as well. In the 1980's and even well into the 90's, this kind of thing was much less tolerated. You can't force-feed critical theory cultural Marxist America-bashing to generation after generation without bad results. The whole reason the New School intellectuals pushed this tripe was to cause social unrest, violence and ultimate collapse.

Education and media own social disintegration and its consequences. I don't have a problem pointing that finger. But as Costanza touched on above, Gabe's a reliable barometer for establishment fears of the morally and culturally assertive Right. When we act up, their liberal friends criticize them and they have to go into distancing mode. This piece is symptomatic of that knee-jerk need to please the PC tolerance police. It's preemptive tribal signaling that "I'm with you guys, not the wingnuts."

Hope this helps with the career; Gabe. Not doing much for your cred, though.

386 I looked at the video 3 more times. The cop wearing the green jersey with 99 on the back is the one that took him down with one arm under Garners armpit and the other across his throat. When they are on the ground the other forearm is under him on the ground. Garner rolls and the guy uses the forearm on the ground to try and restrain one of garners arms. The 99 gets up on one knee holding garners head to the pavement with his hands. The one for arm across his throat is not the prohibited chokehold and it was there for maybe 25 seconds.


You can argue if that is too severe a response to selling loosies but it wasn't the prohibited choke hold and he was speaking so he wasn't choked

Here, the killer said his motivation was payback. That doesn't rule out a mental health issue, but it clearly doesn't rule out incitement as a factor or the factor. Are you saying that even without the public reaction to Garner, this guy would have come up from Baltimore yesterday to kill these two officers?

Yes but I don't think it will last very long. Taking down some high tension lines going into blue hell holes will turn the savages on themselves. Outer Limits showed us how to do it. Of course the black police departments will keep the calm like they did in NOLA during Katrina.

407 Putin is not secure. It is all a facade. If Putin can't feed his army then he has no army. The Russian army acted like locust in Georgia. They looked undernourished in Croatia. This attack on trade/currency is a serious threat to Putin. He needs food from the west.

408 This cop killler also murdered his GIRLFRIEND.

Posted by: Supreme Being at December 21, 2014 02:19 PM (SJ184)

409 In response to the commenters who cited the girlfriend as a fact Gabe might be referring to, this doesn't support Gabe's argument that rhetoric wasn't a cause. It may explain why he felt like he had a free pass to kill some people, but he selected cops and he said what he said about it. That's still a-b-c causation and logic.

Gabe's a J.D.and I think he went to school here in the People's Republic of CA so I'll refer to the CA legal standards. Rhetoric wasn't a "but-for" cause of the shootings, but it was a "substantial factor." In a civil case, that's all you need. I don't support civil liability for dirtbags like Sharpton in this case, because of free speech protections, but it's another reason why Sharpton should be a pariah, not a messiah.

And it's the media who keeps holding Sharpton up as a spokesman. If they ignored him, what influence would he have?

His credibility has been zero since the Tawana Brawley incident, and he has blood on his hands from the Crown Heights riots. Yet none of that seems to bother the media.

411 simple test ... hold your nose, close mouth, yell.
watch cheeks puff out quickly

he was not choked ... asthma meant he wasn't getting enough air

"Asthma is a disorder that causes the airways of the lungs to swell
and narrow, leading to wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness,
and coughing."

412 @114 Isn't incitement listed as a crime?



Was Gabe out sick the day they covered that?

--
I guess we would need to know the definition of incitement and the evidence needed for conviction beyond a reasonable doubt under NY law.

You didn't provide that information, so your post is unconvincing.

Ace had a post a few days ago about this sort of thing.

The United States per Gabe

1. Open explicit calls to riot, kill cops and burn cities: not incitement.

2. Some random at a Tea Party meet-up wears a homemade button with a inkjet picture of Marco Rubio wearing a sombrero: a vile racist act that only serves to inspire those that hate and may incite them to violence.

He was stopped by two con Ed workers before he got to the subway



He did not kill them





I wonder what race they were

If that is true, those were two brave humans. No matter what race, they showed some real gut-level courage.

417 Remember all that bs about civility after the giffords shooting? Apparently putting crosshairs on a map that a schizophrenic didn't see was inciting violence, while a violent thug who actually heard excitable rhetoric and shot a cole people was just this guy.

Posted by: Ernst blofeld at December 21, 2014 05:51 PM (qT49E)

418 How is it that the assumption that the shooter was enabled/inspired/encouraged by the protests and the unanswered calls for violence against cops is denied, but the assumption is otherwise? Should all judgment be reserved until all the facts are known, or only those presupposing leftist culpability?

Because that is never a problem for the left/media. Doesn't matter if a shooter was inspired by something, or even heard what is supposed to have inspired him, or if the shooter is, as usually turns out, a leftist nut. The right is blamed, Republicans are blamed, the Tea Party is blamed, gun owners are blamed.

But at least this carries on the tradition here of being spineless candy-assed wimps, unless you are dead wrong, in which can certainty often attaches.

419 I call BS on this article. While the rhetoric of blaming the cops did not suddenly change these mobs and killers from saints to evil people, it certainly did ramp up the supposed 'justification' for their acts.
