From the Washington Post today, the following is listed as “News” but it’s from the Post’s feminist nook “The Lily:”
The Columbus mayor called Ma’Khia Bryant a ‘young woman.’ Here’s why people are angry.
Some said it exemplified ‘adultification bias’ against the Black 16-year-old girl who was fatally shot by police
Julianne McShane
Apr. 21, 2021… Body camera footage shown at a news conference on Tuesday night shows what happened when officers arrived on the scene: Ma’Khia appears to have lunged at another person before a police officer fired four times. A knife is briefly visible both in her hand and then next to her on the ground where she fell after being shot.
“She’s a [expletive] kid, man,” someone can be heard yelling in the background.
Earlier that night, Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther (D) took to Twitter to share news of the killing, calling Ma’Khia a “young woman.” Replies quickly poured in, noting that Ma’Khia was a child — not an adult.
At the news conference a few hours later, Ginther acknowledged Ma’Khia was a child: “The city of Columbus lost a 15-year-old girl today,” he said. “This young 15-year-old girl will never be coming home.”
But some still took to social media to criticize his initial characterization of Ma’Khia, calling it “adultification bias” — a form of discrimination that uniquely plagues Black girls, leading them to be perceived by adults as less innocent and more adult-like than their White peers, according to a widely covered 2017 Georgetown study. …
The 2017 Georgetown study found that adults’ biased perceptions of Black girls result in their being suspended from school at higher rates than White girls, and being more likely than both Black boys and their White peers to be disciplined for minor infractions, fighting and disobedience. Underlying these perceptions are stereotypes of Black women that originated during U.S. slavery and positioned Black women and girls as unable to conform to expectations of traditional White femininity, the study notes.
Advocates, scholars and doctors characterized the adultification bias emerging in the aftermath of Ma’Khia’s death as a form of misogynoir — a term coined by Black feminist scholar Moya Bailey. It’s a way to describe how “anti-Blackness and misogyny combine to malign Black women in our world,” Bailey wrote.
“The sexism that [Black girls] face is going to be different than what White girls experience and the racism that they face is going to be different than what Black boys experience — that’s because of the racist and sexist lens,” said Ijeoma Opara, an assistant professor in the school of social welfare at Stony Brook University. “We as a society view Black girls as grown women who aren’t capable of being talked to and respected and protected as children.”
To Opara, the shooting exemplified this, given the familiarity of the situation: kids fighting.
Uh, I’ve seen a lot of fights among kids, but I’ve never seen anything like this:
By the way, after Knife Girl knocks down the first girl, but then is dissuaded from going in for the kill on the first girl by the policeman in the vicinity, a big black man comes over and kicks the girl on the ground in the head. What the hell was that? Has that guy been arrested?
The policeman did a remarkable job of not being distracted by the sight of a man kicking a girl in the head and staying focused on the greater threat: Knife Girl.
But police aggressively responded to Ma’Khia because of sexism and racism, she argued.
“Children fight all the time, regardless of race, regardless of class level,” she said. “When we think about Ma’Khia or other Black girls like her … they’re not given the chance to be in situations that could be de-escalated.” …
The mayor’s tweet in the aftermath of Ma’Khia’s killing didn’t help the situation, according to Marline Francois-Madden, a social worker, therapist and doctoral candidate in family science and human development at Montclair State University, who said Ginther’s characterization of Ma’Khia as a “young woman” on Twitter made the incident sound like a dispute between adults rather than between kids. That kind of adultification bias in the aftermath of a Black girl’s death can have mental and emotional consequences on other Black girls watching the situation unfold, she added.
“It makes other Black girls feel like they don’t know if they’ll be able to be protected,” said Francois-Madden, who is also the author of “The State of Black Girls.” …
It’s also crucial, Fenton added, for journalists not to reinforce adultification bias when they cover Ma’Khia’s death, pointing to a video of a woman who identified herself as Ma’Khia’s aunt and told reporters: “Either you report the truth, or don’t report nothing. She was a good kid. She was loving.”
Ma’Khia’s mother, Paula Bryant, said she was an honor roll student and that she had a “motherly nature about her.”

Yeah, but call a male Google of tender years, even a newborn, a “boy” instead of a “young man” and lose your job, possibly even your life.
Ma’Khia’s mother, Paula Bryant, said she was an honor roll student and that she had a “motherly nature about her.”
Stop snickering, people. “Motherly” is a subjective term that means different things in different cultures. If anyone knows what “motherly” meant to Ma’Khia, it’s Ma’Khia’s momma.
Yeah, but call a male Google of tender years (or even an infant) a “boy” instead of a “young man” and lose your job, possibly even your life.
To use one absurd neologism in a sentence may be considered a misfortune, to use two looks like carelessness.
Anyway, which “doctors” thought this was “misogynoir”? The neurosurgery team at John Hopkins?
From the journalist’s bio:
This is part of the narrative baking you mentioned in the previous post. The girl looked like a large, fully grown woman.
The trend toward portraying black teens killed by cops as children goes back decades. I first noticed it with a local case, an armed black teen named Phillip Pannell who was shot by a cop while resisting arrest. Pannell was a truant who hadn’t been in school for at least a year and the local news used a photo of him they presumably got from his mother where he looked like an angelic 12 year old.

I’m liking the chorus of experts that the Washingtoon Post has assembled. To sympathize with the ex-knife wielder Ma’Khia Bryant.
Uniquely? Of course their (everything which follows is “on average”): greater size for age, earlier age of menarche, much higher rate of STD’s, much higher rate of violent behaviour, much higher rate of school discipline problems, and earlier independence from parental control might prompt quite unbiased observers to think them more mature for age…
How can I get a cushy gig publishing crap sociology at Georgetown?
She had “a motherly nature”? LOL. Her motherly motto was Spare the knife and spoil the child.
Seeing black mothers in action, I guess that’s right.
That was Professor Headstomp on his way to Stanford. Sometimes he mediates in altercations. He’s a good boy.
Can we just all conclude that the cop (who apparently is unable to shoot someone in the pinky to disarm them properly) shouldn’t have shown up, then nobody except the medics and the undertakers would have heard about all this bullshit and this would have saved us many hours of productive work?
It is said that female Blacks mature relatively fast, reaching menarche at a younger age than other population groups.
Male Blacks, too, are said to mature quickly and have higher levels of testosterone.
Speaking of mixing up age groups, here’s a somewhat-OT story that is hard to read, much less believe:
Man wrestled and gripped infant’s head ‘in a football hold’ prior to his death: affidavit
Quick summary:
In El Paso, TX, a 24-year-old black man was ‘babysitting’ three children. One of them, a white boy just one year old, ended up dead the next day, with a skull fracture and massive internal injuries. The babysitter, one Marvin Rex Lake, initially denied having anything to do with this, but then:
The most darkly comic detail of the story, which you couldn’t make up if you tried:
I’d LOL if this story weren’t so utterly heartbreaking.
Not all the time
Hamm idk, maybe because at least one of them is cray cray?
Fortunately there were no cops involved
Well, she certainly weighed as much as an adult.
“Uniquely plagues black girls.” Doesnt it plague Asian girls too?
The problem,as everyone knows,and has known for a long time,is that black females are far less attractive,far more more masculine,and far more violent than other females.
But sometimes,we shouldnt know that.
Whole lot more fambly showin up now..can’t imagine why..
An explainer:
The media is racistically unwilling to construct much-needed safe spaces around the Black Narrative.
When food stops coming out of supermarkets all those people will die.
Why.
Who thought this would be a good idea?
How is it even possible that guy has not been moved out of normal society by that age?
Why isn’t that guy being lynched right there and then by an irate mob?
Does that child have any parents able to remove nig… sorry, “Black Babysitters” from premises?
So many questions!
‘Adulteration’ would have been better but as that already means an act or process of making impure by adding extraneous, improper, or inferior ingredients, it could be considered anti-immigration and therefore racist.
I agree that ‘adultification’ has no legs and will not run. This story will be dropped within 48 hours, if not sooner.
Strange. The media had no problem identifying the FedEx shooter as “a 19-year old white man”.
In general, I find it strange this treatment of teenagers as “children” in America. Teenagers are no longer “children”. Maybe up to 13, max 15. But from 16 on, I wouldn’t call them “children”. In other times people were basically adults for all purposes at this age.
Black people in particular develop even earlier.
It’s funny, when involved in crime, we have to call them “children”, but if it’s say, the entertainment market, then they are “young adults”.
On August 25, 2020 Kyle Rittenhouse was a mere lad of seventeen.
The age of the “big black [sic] man” who kicked one of the girls in the head remains unknown and for all we know, he might have regarded her as his “cuz” – which brings to mind some lines from Humbert Wolfe:
“So this one kills his cousins,
And that one kills his dad;
And, as they hang by dozens
At Ludlow [or Ohio], lad by lad…”
Your Breaking Bad Lad of Shropshire,
AE Housnygga
Bitch when we treat you like children, bitch when we don’t.
But don’t they mature faster? This is all so confusing.
From India:
These writers decry “benevolent sexism”. Was Ma’Khia a victim of “benevolent racism”?
But to mature earlier is not to mature more:
Men or Women: The More Mature Gender
Elephant-tranquilizer guns might be just the thing.

Mama said, mama said
Get Benjamin Crumb on the phone
With him we are never alone
We need this ghetto bonanza
Since Ma’Khia has sung her last stanza
She was an angel in our church choir

Get you the ghetto lottery score
Benjamin Crumb now on the line —-
Yes I will get my thirty percent
But you know I am heaven sent
I will get you your dough

It is the same old story.
People who are commenting, like the social worker in this story, are not really interested in discussing the specifics of this particular case history, but simply piggybacking their pet theories so as to get media attention.
Yes, the dead girl was legally considered to be a child by virtue of her birthdate, but trying to stab somebody with a knife is not children’s play.
Then again, we don’t really know what happened, and perhaps the knife girl was provoked or bullied beyond all reason by the girl in pink and finally lost it. Proper investigation is needed.
Don’t be surprised if it turns out that she was mentally retarded!
“misogynoir” is a great word
misogynoir would make a great name for a new fragrance by L’oreal.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it’s the same guy who, seconds later, is rending his garments and lamenting that “She’s just a kid!” Apparently the person he assaulted, potentially fatally, was not.
This is a real phenomena though. If you’ve ever been around a class with white and black children, particularly girls, the black ones always look much older than they are. You sometimes think you’re dealing with a very immature 7 year old but it’s really a 5 year old.
There is actually a version of this in Mute Swans. Immutabilis Swans or ‘Polish Swans’ are Mute Swans with a mutation that means they don’t develop the dark colours of juvenile swans but are born with white feathers. This means they are treated as adults earlier by their parents and driven off early and also means they’re seen as sexually mature earlier.

“Stomach-turning pictures from the past:”
The obsolete computer running Windows 7 here (another relic might have generated a duplicate AE Housman post) tonight appears to display only three of five pics. The woman wearing the bowtie like thingee looks to be something of a dusky version of Kerry Washington/Broomhilda von Shaft. Her sad and somewhat frightened expression, along with a couple of haunting eyeballs might make one feel just a wee bit guilty if her living relatives weren’t waging genocidal war. The portrait of the kid sitting atop the ample backsides and beneath the hair of his caregiver cries out for captions.
Thank God for the body camera. The video footage easily refutes all this ridiculous bullshit being spewed by fake grievance peddling race hustlers.
Probably way more than a normal weight or thin adult woman.
Johnathan, I know you’re older, but say “developmentally disabled”. Seriously, saying “retarded” will get you kicked off of social media if you use the word in the wrong place.
And the Woke won’t allow that was the polite term I was taught as a defense.
Sure, go ahead and call a female black teenager “girl’ and see what happens.
These are nice pictures.
Facts and evidence don’t matter. We live in a post-truth era.
Yeah, the hypocrisy is astounding. Kicking someone on the head can be quite fatal. I cringe every time I see some character “just gets knocked out” (usually by purported friendlies) in a tv show or movie. My wife and I both utter, “Oh, just casually handing out potentially lethal head traumas.” Even when not fatal, head traumas can lead to severe lifelong consequences. Ask me how I know.
“ Children fight all the time, regardless of race, regardless of class level”
Indeed, but in my experience not all children of every race or class level fight with as much enthusiasm and vigor (and intent) as some groups.
When I moved up into a school that was subject to busing, we went from 1 mild fight per year to daily brawls which frequently required adult intervention. Ambulance visits to school grounds were a semi-regular occurrence. Madison was an … interesting place to learn pop sociology,
It’s “Dune”, baby.
Fifteen thumpers through the food desert.
Funny. But the Fremen had good knife skills even before they were taught the Weirding Way.
That footage is going to matter a great deal to the officer in question.
That’s the way that the bog-standard Black brain (a no more dehumanizing phrase than “Black bodies”) works — anything they do in the way of antisocial internecine violence is de rigueur and not noteworthy, and anyone (especailly a craKKKa cop) who would deign to take such actions seriously enough to, say, use deadly force to prevent a Black person’s murder is blowing things out of proportion. The idea that this is hypocritical and illogical would never occur to such a person.
Popular bands from Birmingham include Black Sabbath and UB40. The good old days.
There’s a highly technical term for this… it’s called a “chimpout.”
Welcome to the euphemism treadmill. “Retarded” was originally a euphemism, replacing the medical terms moron, imbecile, and idiot. Now it has become as offensive as its predecessors.
The more recent euphemism “special needs” has led to the use of the word “special” as a playground insult. Time to think up a replacement.
A child would actually be safer being watched by a band of gorillas (they can be quite gentle you know) than one of these beast.
Trying to bring logic, observation, morality, and intellect to examine the actions of these cursed people is like finger painting with feces. A pointless and gross endeavor.
Kipling cut to the chase in five words: “Half devil and half child.”
And they’re all that way–I’m so f’ing sick of whitecux cheering on the likes of Candace Owens or Jason Whitlock if they Tweet the obvious. I know the stabby ghettopotamus was evidently a bad actor. I know the cop evidently did the right thing–I don’t need negroes to validate things for me.
“But….but….Tom Sowell…..but…..but…..Condoleezza Rice! But what about the blacks who died fighting in Vietnam!”
Fk them. With a red hot poker. You have 99% of a group that’s worthless, dysfunctional and full of hate–who were way more than enough trouble when Whites had control of them, and who are now given free rein to let their toxicity loose unchecked, and in fact encouraged–and all some Hank Hill cuck says when confronted with their toxic behavior is some goofy babble like “But what about Jahoobious Johnson? I read on the BLM site Blacksiventedeverythingintheworld.com that he invented the Western Omelet in 1898 but had the idea stolen by the KKK, and he and his entire family were murdered by President McKinley!!!”
GTFO.
These days remind me of those alarm clocks that keep getting louder and louder when you ignore them. Reality keeps smacking us upside the head, harder and harder. When will the backlash take place-or will the country get destroyed first?
FYI, Park Slope is the Vatican of NYC’s Lesbian Establishment (and appropriately, also the household of Mayor de Blasio)!
Should the officer be given a medal for risking his career, or even his life, to rescue the girl in pink?
Or should he be told to harken to the wisdom of the Filipinos?
When there’s a local news report about high school girls winning a volleyball tournament or a science fair or whatever, there’s often a noticeable mental effort avoid calling them “girls”, because that’s how the patriarchy belittles and marginalizes young women (and disenfranchises them too – so passionate and vocal and the future belonging to them, but unable to cast a vote).
So the white anchor with the graying temples says “and what a great achievement by these, uh, ….”, betraying an awareness that his powerskirt colleague is just waiting for him to say “girls” so that she can jump in with “yes, Ted, these young women have a great future in front of them”. And it gets funnier during a longer discussion once “young women” and “young ladies” have been said and their repetition would seem odd, leading to a parlor game where the loser is the first one to use the obvious generic term for female high school students.
If the mayor had called her a “girl” they would have whined “she’s a young woman. You called black men ‘boys’. How dare you infantilize black women.”
Damned & damned.
Exactly. Refer to the assailant as a girl and all hell will break loose. Refer to her as a young woman and all hell will break loose. Some of these rage enthusiasts are as hot of blood as they are dim of mind.
The other two children were also injured.
The father is a soldier, the killer “discharged” from the military.
In Florida we have an organization called ARC, which stands for the Association for Retarded Citizens, so it is official.
I also used to regularly drive by a construction company that was advertising ‘Cracker Homes’, so Florida is different.
In any case the word disabled often makes people think of people in wheelchairs, or people who are allowed to park close to the store. I’m just concerned to get my meaning across as clearly as possible. Maybe the stabber was ten cents short of a dollar
Everyone understood Blacks shouldn’t be given access to potent drugs. But your Northern ancestors killed 700,000 White people to make sure their sweet brothers could get high.
Fun fact: As we continue Lincoln’s Proposition State to its ultimate conclusion, we’ll have a population of nearly one billion in about a century. Liberal pundits are demanding it. Your so-called 97% White county that you’ve White Flighted to won’t do any of your descendants any good. Not that you care about them.
To be fair, Europe will be minority White in a century too. This is a result of a lack of loyalty to White people by White people.
Off hand I can’t think of anyone who’s protected more, save of course the people who own the media. Now let me guess, are these the same black women who invented all of modern technology, and put whitey on the moon? Why didn’t they put all of us there?
Isn’t there some Democrat/Marxist movement to extend voting to 16-year-olds? Blacks are children when committing crimes and sages when telling Whites what to do.
Okay, how do you know?
Some parents think pitbulls are wonderful family pets, too.
If proven effective at repelling Black females it would be quite popular.
So I checked the requirements for getting a driver’s license in the state of Ohio:
https://www.firsttimedriver.com/ohio/getting-your-license/#:~:text=%20To%20apply%20for%20your%20Ohio%20Driver%27s%20License%2C,taking%20the%20first%20two%20hours%20of…%20More%20
How to Get Your Ohio Driver’s License
To apply for your Ohio Driver’s License, you must:
Be at least 16 years old and have held a learner’s permit (Temporary Instruction Permit Identification Card) for at least 6 months.
…
If you are under the age of 18, your license is considered a probationary driver license until turning 18
Who knew Ohio gave driver’s licenses to “children”. 🤔
Can’t let this go to waste:

Doesn’t look like your typical Wakandain ghetto neighborhood.
But, as my old pappy used to say.
You can take the Wakandain out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the Wakandain.
What constitutes an honours student for this lot? Being able to tie your own shoelaces, put your pants on properly. No mean feat among the ghetto detritus. White police officers, none of them are worth saving, and on the 100000000 to 1 off chance of a good one, well, God will know his own.
Same thing with Trayvon Martin, a total thug, but the picture was from when he as about 12. Deceptive representations to garner sympathy. Disgusting!
That’s all the media used in the Trayvon Martin case, pictures of him when he was 12, not 17 or 18 ( not sure of how old he was when he met his demise ).
Don’t be surprised if it turns out that she was way above average for a black girl.
☮
The fact that the girl was in foster care speaks volumes. She lived a totally chaotic life, because that’s how you end up in foster care while still having a living parent.
Twinkie, one can only hope so, but in the meantime some “journalist” is getting ready to dox him and the crowds will gather at his home and his wife and kids will be traumatized. And, remember when you can’t breathe but can speak the narrative is against you. chris cuomo, last night, said there “had” to be a better intervention than shooting. Usian Bolt could not have covered the distance between cop and knife in time to avert a stabbing. Also, the shooting was fatal, the stabbing was just potential.Stay safe buddy.
This from a mother who wasn’t considered competent enough to have custody of her own child.
This just shows how out of touch modern day society is with reality. The mothers just think of this as normal, why wouldn’t you trust your baby with a 24 year old killing machine with the mentality of a chimp? This is what everyone else does isn’t it? I mean look at all the black scientist on the TV commercials!
What’s even more shocking to me is how nonchalant the negro murderer is. You just physically destroyed a helpless child, and all you have to say is that you only caused internal injuries and need money for your futon! The mother of the dead child and murderer himself should be put in a 4 foot cell together for eternity.
Just say she rode the short bus to school—everyone knows what that means!
Well, you can bet that if George Floyd’s mother had been alive, she would have been on TV saying “They killed my baby.”
Part of it is the natural human instinct to think of your own children as they were when they were still cute and vulnerable. However, in blacks, they seem unable to objectively separate this psychological phenomenon from reality.
Thus, you had Trayvon Martin, heavier and/or taller than George Zimmerman, attacking him, but the family release a half-decade outdated photo of the perp and the narrative is that an old white man killed a black “child”.
The wages of coalburning are death.
Florida isn’t unique, everyplace has an ARC.
It should be noted that ARC formerly stood for Association for Retarded Citizens. Those words appear nowhere on their web site. Now it’s just “The Arc,” not an acronym.
Just like SAS is now just SAS, and not “Statistical Application Software.”
I learned in reverse, going from a very “diverse” dysfunctional school with weekly fights, police presence, and social workers… to an all White school with none of the aforementioned issues. I remember thinking holy sh** this school is White! The biggest problem it had was the Goth kids smoking off school grounds during lunch.
Twinkie, If that cop is prosecuted, the video will offer no protection at all. The decision to retain or discharge the cop (made by the politicians who command the PD) will be utterly dependent on political consideration, threats of mayhem, etc, and video evidence will offer no protection to the cop at all.
If he is smart, that cop is already planning to leave and change professions ASAP. As are all cops who work anywhere around negroes. There just isn’t any future in it, not at all. Not for negro cops either.
What does this violent chimpout right in front of the police say about the black community?
That’s one hefty 16 yr old. Wasn’t enough time to card her first though. Take a look at some of these black ‘youth’ and see how precocious they often are, engaging in hardcore adult crimes involving guns, knives, murder, carjacking, assault, armed robbery, etc. This particular one could easily have killed an adult with her heft, speed and knife. Lots of these types in the juvenile justice system. The officer stayed cool and focused, as noted, and acted competently, a guy you want when things spiral out of control. Doesn’t take much to be an ‘honor roll student’ these days or to be praised in some way if one is black in this time of St Floyd. From the White House to MSM to social media there’s all these attempts to stir racial animosity rather than look for social peace. This can’t end well. What’s the game being played here in destroying the US from within?
We all agree, but unfortunately police officers are tracked, monitored and evaluated on their productivity and efficiency. They can try to stall a little getting there, but their retainability and career advancement will suffer if they make it too obvious, and they can even face discipline.
Now, if he had been there by himself he could have done the same thing as the cop who was only a few months away from retirement did in the Florida school shooting a few years ago. He could have hung back, “ set up a perimeter and contained the situation until a response team could be brought in”. Unfortunately for him, as it happened he had back-up and acted reflexively to save one of the women.
The Go Fund Me linked from the article adds that they knew Lake from the military, he had left the service a year ago. The father was a soldier in the army and the mother was a labor and delivery nurse. I guess our military doesn’t offer emergency child care options along with everything else they do. Still that you wouldn’t call in sick before leaving your child with this guy is surprising.
Trayvon Martin was 17, an experienced street fighter, built like a middleweight boxer.
Is there any other kind of sociology?
InIs there any reason to think that they had other more recent photographs available that they decided not to use?
Frequently when new stories involve people who were not celebrities before the photographs all taken from public sources like high school yearbooks and are often years out of date.
If you Google Trayvon Martin now, will you find a large selection of photographs showing him at all ages?
People were gullible and jumped to conclusions if they assumed that the picture of the 12-year-old Trayvon Martin was how he looked at the age of 17.
These days with digital photography, far fewer people print out photographs on paper and put them in family and wedding albums. Most photographs that are in the public domain can be found in social media like Facebook, but when people in the news do not have Facebook pages or are not active online, photos are very hard to come by.
Even one of the most famous men in the world George Orwell (Eric Blair) has remarkably few extant photographs, and there is not a single known recording of his voice even though one of his jobs was as a BBC broadcaster to India during World War II.
However he still speaks to us from beyond the grave.
So on those occasions when the NYT, WaPo, CNN and MSNBC plead that 16-year old POCs be given the right to vote, are they acknowledged to be precious little chilluns?
Or do Ma’Khia and her playmates get all adultified and stuff at moments like that?
We’d better burn down all the libraries with “Young Adult” sections aimed at the 12-18 demographic. Racist institutions to the core!
…a big black man comes over and kicks the girl on the ground in the head.
I have a sneaking premonition we may be treated to an iSteve post about
World War Hair before the sun sets over the San Fernando Valley.
Would you mind elaborating on how you know this?
Ma’Khia’s mother, Paula Bryant, said she was an honor roll student and that she had a “motherly nature about her.”
Perhaps in the Euripides’ Medea sense?
As for being motherly, perhaps they are saying that she was a real mother!
Don’t be surprised if it turns out that she was mentally retarded!
But that would mean that “Ma’Khia’s mother, Paula Bryant, said she was an honor roll student and that she had a “motherly nature about her.” is complete BS. Can’t be.
If you Google Trayvon Martin now, will you find a large selection of photographs showing him at all ages?
As it happens, Yes.

This trend needs to be highlighted with a catchy name.
I suggest “Trayvoning”.
I’m skeptical that knife fights like this are actually normal in this neighborhood – otherwise, why would the cops get called? – but if that’s the best that the defenders of Knife Girl have… Do they actually think it would be preferable for cops to just avoid coming to this neighborhood in response to calls about a large teenager trying to stab others?
She was a “fully grown woman,” biologically as opposed to legally, not only large but violent and dangerous. Whether she was 12 o 13 or in her 20s or 30s, the cop was justified in shooting and killing her to prevent at least one if not two murders. The only just and rational criticism of his actions was that he could have shot her in the buttocks or thighs to disable and disarm rather than kill her but police are trained to shoot perpetrators in the torso, front or back, if they and others are endangered.
How are they stomach-turning?
They’re nannies and nursemaids.
Their employers had enough multicultural experience to be able to spot psychos. They wouldn’t hire knife-girl.
Incredible that the Boston Terrier, sitting there right in the middle of all this, doesn’t seem the least bit alarmed or frightened, despite multiple people screaming, physical attacks, and gunshots happening all around. Eventually, the dog looks around and scurries. I guess the pup sees this kind of stuff all the time; my Boston would have been going berserk.
The Harry Potter demographic won’t like THAT!
FYI, Everytime you buy on Amazon or shop at Whole Foods you help subsidize The Bezos Post . The man at the helm is a despicable money grubbing globalist who treats his workers like trash and has contributed to shuttering of countless businesses in recent years. He was a fanatical anti-trumper (and this was before trump largely turned out to be a dud).
I guess all the hispanic families that have quincenera celebrations for their daughters are racist. I detect some cracks in the coalition.
Steve,
You have to comment on this tweet that shows how the NY Times as radicalized the news. Who/Whom is definitely being demonstrated.
They still have the words carved into the lintel over doorways of older buildings.
Correct me if I’m wrong, Sidney, but don’t courts everyday, somewhere, hold hearing to determine if someone, chronologically a minor, should be “tried as an adult”? For, for example, attempted murder while wielding a chef’s knife? Doesn’t that mean that “X is only a child” is something TBD, not something obvious on the scene?
Since the 1960s, how many people of all races and ages and both sexes have been the victims of aggravated assault, muggings,, armed robbery, theft, burglary, home invasions, abductions, murder, attempted murder, etc., how many women (including adolescents) have been raped and gang-raped and often abducted, beaten, tortured, and murdered, because of the systemic and repeated coddling of biological men under age 18, overwhelmingly black males with histories of crime and violence beginning at age 14 or 13 or even 12 if pubescent?
I once read an account of a former slave ‘mammy’ who confided, many years after the end of slavery, that she had poisoned her mistress’s baby in revenge for some punishment. No one in the family ever suspected. I’m pretty sure it’s in Missouri local historian Lilburn Adkin Kingsbury’s book, Hobby Horse Rider. Made me wonder whether that happened occasionally in other households with slaves.
Reardon’s actions there are nothing short of heroic. This sweet, motherly girl was not just fighting, but had the other one pinned up against a car and getting ready to stab her. The entire scene was chaotic and he ran past one scene where a girl got kicked in the head by a dude. There was literally no time for de-escalation, firing a taser, firing a warning shot, shooting the knife out of her hand like a western, or whatever else the twitter brigade is claiming he should have done. I know cops have had plenty of moments for self-reflection lately, but they surely have to look at this and see a cop doing everything right, making a split-second decision, and saving a person’s life, and is still getting destroyed for it, by everyone up to and including the world’s richest and most famous basketball player.
By that token the cop would have been justified in shooting Ma’Khia Bryant when she charged at the fat white girl. Indeed he would have been more justified in killng her during the original charge (at the fat white girl) as he had not seen her charge at someone welding a knife without cutting them with it at that point.
Well it’s less difficult to focus on someone waving knife when the person has their back to you. But very nice grouping nonetheless, all 4 shots in and around the heart, which is verifiable from the footage of her exposed midriff. A kindness; be humiliating for her to be shot in her huge ass. Also she was like a African buffalo (“It’s the dead ones that kill you”).
Current publicity about police shooting blacks having a deleterious effect on her emotional state can hardly be discounted given the timing.
The truth is life isn’t fair; some of the sixteen year old girls spending hours a day looking in the mirror can very easily see how. And become suicidal.
James, how about “tiny duck.”
I remember doing a Google street view of Small Heath, Birmingham to see where BSA motorcycles were built and it was all kebab shops and burkhas.
It used to be an industrial powerhouse.
tyrone, tell that to the family, still greiving I might add, of Harambe. Killed for trying to play with a young White kid. Just kidding, he had it coming.
I’m really astounded. These “people” are angry that a would-be murderer was killed by a white cop to save a black victim. BLM is a terrorist organization, and everyone who supports it needs to be [redacted]
The headline if the cop hadn’t taken the shots, ” Cop watches as black girl is murdered”.
SMK, not to be argumentative, but do you know where he shot her?
LOL.
Mason, you’re carrying this tedious conventional wisdom apologetics thing off into parody.
Yes ,we all think of Harambe often ,I think a CHOP zone should be occupied in his honor ……the child was black by the way
We don’t know who started the fight. AFAIK, no eyewitness account of what happened, before the cop showed up, has been released. (The 9-1-1 caller, not yet identified, only reported that someone was trying to fight/stab them, and [attack] their grandmother.)
The cop defended someone from getting stabbed. Even if he shot the wrong person, e.g. Knife Girl had called 9-1-1, even if he had not been a fully deputized LEO, he’s still protected by #2 (as a militiaman, per mutual defense).
However, if he did shoot the wrong, um, teenager, then the attacker about whom the 9-1-1 call was made — for all we know, possibly the intended stabbing victim — could be charged (as an adult) with felony murder.
(I think that’s what happens to a suspect in a police chase, when a cop [car] accidentally kills an innocent during the pursuit.)
The girl he kicked (the one Bryant knocked down) is white. There’s your difference right there. I wonder if the black guy is the Bryant family member who was allegedly present at the scene.
Would that qualify as a hate crime or a love crime?
We hear so much about hate crimes. What about love crimes? Surely, there must be some.
“Motherly”?
I think she mispronounced it.
Samuel L. Jackson can help her out here:

‘Florida cracker architecture’ is an actual style developed in pre-AC days to maximize natural cooling from breezes, shaded porches, etc.
Ohio, Mr. Joe.
Ohio.
Wexner U has already severed all ties with the Columbus Police Department over the incident. Toppling their beautiful Columbus statue last summer was only the beginning.
Twitter user posts link to brief CBS description of the attack in front of the officer and the 911 call itself. The caller refers to the attacker as a “grown girl” :
https://mobile.twitter.com/NickFondacaro/status/1385023108210384898
“These grown girls over here trying to fight us, trying to stab us.”
So, in the parlance of our times, she’s a grown girl.
There’s the rub. The police are not permitted to stand and watch while something like this is taking place, and the bodycams will betray them if they do.
BLM types and opportunistic politicians will immediately pivot from “He shot our Precious Back Body” to “He allowed our (other) PPB to be stabbed.”
The great jurist of the age beat you to it:
Also on point as always:
Standards for what kind of work gets you on the honor role in some of these districts is not what you remember from when you were in high school decades ago.
I am gonna guess you were on the wrong end of some kind of land mine (IED or factory-made) explosion. My sympathies and, again, thank you for your service.

Makes sense.De Blasio’s black wife used to be a lesbian.
What’s a “male Google“?

1.) Adultification? {Rolls-eyes} There’s just no end in sight to what they’ll come-up with, is there?
Yet another instance of Darned if you, darned if you don’t. Would referring to the individual-in-question as a 16-year-old female be acceptable? Come to think of it, perhaps not. Do we know that {insert approved pronoun here} even identified as female?
Maybe simply a 16-year-old? No, probably not. That could be construed as dehumanizing, couldn’t it?
A 16-year-old person, perhaps?
2.) On the larger question, of whether, in labeling/categorizing/ referring-to, a physically mature teenager; an adolescent who is often visually indistinguishable from a legal adult, it is the subject’s proximity to childhood that is chosen over his (or her) proximity to adulthood or vice-versa:
For any given instance, this comes-down to whichever way will advance whatever the Narrative and agenda in that instance is. Such unprincipled linguistic manipulation and cynical expediency and opportunism
To illustrate the point, there are a number of cases that can be cited from the comment section of this very blog. For now, let us take one, that of the late Jeffrey Epstein.
To the best of my knowledge, all of those who have alleged being victims of Epstein were, at the time of the alleged criminal/abusive conduct on his part, unambiguously sexually mature teenagers. Yet, that has not stopped many here from routinely referring-to Epstein as a “pedophile”, or even as a “child rapist”, and to his alleged victims as “children”, “girls”, or even “young girls” (some may have even gone so far as to invoke the super-charged, yet wildly misleading term “little girls”).
Moreover, the commenters who have exhibited said behavior include at least two who had previously explicitly and emphatically acknowledged that pedophilia, by definition, refers exclusively to cases where the alleged victim(s) at the time of the alleged crime or abuse was prepubescent. And at least one of these two commenters has gone so far as to specifically correct others on that very point. Yet these same individuals then apparently felt no compunctions about turning around and opportunistically invoking that very “pedo” label against Epstein when they perceived doing so to serve their interests.
Now, as a thought exercise, let us imagine the Epstein case with all of the same details as we presently know it, but with just one aspect inverted: Let us imagine that Epstein had not been a Jew but a white Christian, and that it had been his alleged victims who had been Jewish.
How different might the reactions, from the same individuals in-question, have been? Might we very well have seen at least some of them doing a complete “180”? Is it at all difficult to imagine them calling the alleged victims ‘sluts’, ‘whores’, ‘Jezebels’, etc., and attacking them for having cynically and diabolically ensnared and corrupted the virtue of a decent, Christian white man, and now opportunistically smearing his character and extorting him? For said commenters to respond to anyoen who would characterize the alleged teenage victims as mere “children”, etc., to note the very same critical distinctions that I did just above, concerning the very definition of pedophilia, etc.?
My interest here, it should be apparent, is neither to defend nor to attack Epstein. He, or any other particular individual, is entirely beside the point.
Or white men’s food. That’s how they breed.
I have enough loyalty to see that anyone who encourages and defends the presence of African stowaways on a continent white men died to conquer are the true enemies of the white race, ever and always.
Hosting Africans is not a “positive good”, as John C Calhoun fantastically claimed. It’s a debilitating sandbag. How is a 69% white South Carolina (2010) not a vast improvement over a 40% white South Carolina (1850-90/)? At this rate, the Palmetto State will be American before long!

A lesbian co-worker once told me this lesbian joke.
Q: What does a lesbian bring on the second date?
A: A U-Haul
Given the obvious attachment disorder lying behind that joke it only follows that they don’t take break-ups well. So, now we can add to the list of lesbian jokes,
Q: What does a lesbian bring to a break-up?
A: A Glock
Maybe i’m missing a joke, but the Harambe shooting was probably unnecessary considering that he hadn’t hurt the kid at all in the 10 minutes that he’d been with him. Harambe, who had been born in a zoo and lived his whole life around and aware of humans, would probably have handed him over to zookeepers as a gorilla did in a similar incident in 1996.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/gorilla-carries-year-boy-safety-fell-enclosure-1996/story?id=39479586
Also, apropos to some of the discussions around these police related deaths, note that the situation was exacerbated by screaming, screeching people (esp. women).
Also the kid was black.
See esp. the description of this video for relevant documented commentary from some experts:
An article about and with pictures of the boy’s parents:

Would you rather Condi Rice or some Antifa white moron babysit you kid?
I think you’ll be hearing from the Audubon Society shortly. Does the name Christian Cooper ring a bell?
Nothing that dramatic (been shot at and stabbed, but not that). I have injured myself with my own explosives though (been building improvised explosives since high school – started with those Paladin Press books – I still have Seymour Lecker’s first book).
Took blunt force trauma to the head repeatedly and have been concussed and knocked out several times.
One of the worst times was actually not even “real world,” but at a Judo match. My opponent picked me up and threw me. Instead of break-falling safely (Ukemi) and losing, I tried not to be scored upon and braced with my arm. It snapped in half and I landed (apparently) hard straight on my head. I woke up in the ambulance.
I actually don’t remember most of it – I saw the video tape later and winced.
When I first became an investigator, I aced the recall rests (some of the highest recorded scores ever). The last time I took the test, I was very, very low. My neurologist thinks I have many of the symptoms of CTE. Smart phones, iPads, and laptops have been very helpful. I constantly make notes and to-do lists and record everything.
The worst thing is the constant and occasionally excruciating neck pain and headaches.
‘Ma’Khia’s mother, Paula Bryant, said she was an honor roll student and that she had a “motherly nature about her.”’
I cannot for a moment believe that overgrown brat was an “honor roll student” in any actual school but I suppose mom is right since “motherly nature” these days means killing inconvenient children.
Your troll game is weak, Reg. You just say the same thing over and over. “One time blah blah blah happened and so White people just need to accept their fate.”
Tibetans did things in the past too. Nobody says they deserve genocide because of it.
More like Crypto-Turks in the end, though, no?
“used to be a lesbian” ???
Movie idea:
Reardon, Chauvin, Zimzam, the lady who meant to taze the guy are hanging out in a bar, dejected, contemplating suicide, wishing they’d never been born.
Angel appears and shows them a world where they had never been born, where the dindu’s they limited are still around…
Are you suggesting it’s more like being a Jet?
“When you’re a dyke, you’re a dyke all the way,

Agreed. I used to use Amazon and Google a lot but now only use Amazon if there’s something I HAVE to get somewhere by tomorrow, which is pretty rare (I think once in the last 2 years) if you get organised.
Google is a crap search engine now, it was brilliant around 2000. Quant’s not too bad, no worse than Google anyway.
Still use eBay though, and the cretin who made a fortune from that, Omidyar, funds all manner of left activists through his foundation.
Also, Amazon own AbeBooks, I try and find the book on Abe then get in touch direct with the bookshop.
Hilarious
From The New York Observer, December 2012:
The Lesbian Past of Bill de Blasio’s Wife
Isn’t this a rather glaring admission against interest? A woman who previously had proudly and unequivocally declared herself a Lesbian is now married to a man whom she claims is the love of her life. Doesn’t New York City’s First Couple not only subscribe-to the doctrinal Truth that sexual orientation* is without exception both innate and immutable, but also demand that we all do as well?
Are we not entitled-to demand an explanation?
*Are we still allowed to use that term?
Q: What does a gay man bring to a second date?
A: What second date?!
Anything less than full repatriation can be termed “genocide”. Every ounce of food eaten by a non-white is an ounce of food not eaten by a white child.
You’re the one who opposes full repatriation. Why? Nothing would be better for whites.
Leave Sowell out of this. His “visions” books explain the psychology of the “woke white” better than anyone else’s. Indeed, predicted it.
Oh, I believe it. Thomas Mumford is my ancestor:
I use bookfinder.com
They cover everybody– AbeBooks, Alibris, Biblio, eBay, and smaller ones like Valore, Textbook Rush, and SecondSale. Often the same copy is offered by several of them,from the same bookstore, so you can choose the middleman you prefer. In such cases, the prices usually differ by less than a dollar.
Fifteen years ago, a former girlfriend related how a colleague was overjoyed to have discovered AbeBooks. I fired back that she’d be better off going to Bookfinder. Must’ve worked– I’m married to her now.
Indians in Silicon Valley may be mostly a scourge, but it’s easy to forgive the founder of Bookfinder. Him, and Vikram Seth. Some are good enough to have gotten in under the older, stricter rules.
At one time it was considered hate speech to call black boys and girls boys and girls. The correct term for black boys was Manchild. There was never an equivalent term for girls. I suppose male or female teen is least offensive to the perpetually offended.
The murderer is not the father. Both parents are White
Rest assured you have not and will not get any explanation from these star-crossed lovers! And thanks for the New York Observer article whose publisher at the time was Trump’s son-in-law!
