Look for the Democrats to now support the banning of policy body cameras.  

 

We've already banned facial recognition technology out here because it's.....you know.....racist.

She is doubling down...
 

 

 



 

 

 

What are the police investigating?  Even if everything this woman said is actually true (which it’s obviously not), what’s the crime that she’s asserting took place?

I got nuthin'. This woman is nuts. 

 

Between this, the Macy's fat-shaming plate issue, Ivanka's Nazi dog adoption, and the whole "a woman having her testicles waxed is a human right," this is the most surreal week I can remember in a long while.  And it's only Monday.  :ph34r:

Speaking of the person wanting "her" testicles waxed ... other than the 12 lawsuits he has going for "discrimination", did you see this one?

Yeah, saw that.  That's comparatively normal creepiness.

Didn't she already admit she made it up?  

 

How is there still a dispute?

 

My guess is that people got to her and told her to continue to push the story and not back down. The narrative is more important than the truth.

OH: POLICE REPORT DISPUTES GEORGIA LAWMAKER’S ACCOUNT OF PUBLIX INCIDENT.

 

Witness: State Rep. Erica Thomas told Eric Sparkes, ‘Go back where you came from.’

A Publix employee told a Cobb County officer that she witnessed part of the conversation and heard Thomas “continuously tell Eric Sparkes to ‘Go back where you came from!’” but did not hear Sparkes utter those words to Thomas.

 

In a tearful video, Thomas accused Sparkes of using that phrase, which echoes a tweet by President Donald Trump that sparked a national uproar. Her account quickly went viral and triggered a wave of support and backlash.

 

Sparkes admitted to calling the Democrat an expletive during the run-in, saying he was upset she was at an express aisle in the grocery store with too many items, but he said he didn’t tell her to “go back” to where she came from.

* * * * * * * * *

The video caught the attention of liberal activists who amplified her message that “racism and hate is getting out of control.” Soon, it had tallied millions of views and sparked a media frenzy of competing headlines and hashtags.

 

A day later, Thomas’ story came under scrutiny when she arrived at the Publix to speak with television reporters — and Sparkes arrived too, eager to respond. He said he called her a “selfish little (expletive)” when he noticed she was skirting the express lane’s rules.

 

“I did say that. That’s all I said after that, and I walked out of Publix. Her words stating on Twitter, and her video, stating I told her she needs to go back where she came from are untrue,” said Sparkes, who said he was a Democrat of Cuban descent.

 

 

Megan McArdle dubs it “the greatest own-goal in political history.” No, there is another:

I'm S  I C K of  this Twitter outrage nonsense.  Over the last 6 years of so I can think of 5 other Twitter outrages that turned out to be total BS.

 

  1. The Benghazi thing was due to a spontaneous demonstration to an internet video on September 11.
  2. The dude in Furgeson got shot running away from the fuzz with his hands up.  Hands up don't shoot.
  3. Jussie Smallett.
  4. The high school kids came up to an Indian man peacefully singing his song about Peace when the high school kids surrounded him shouting Make America White Again.
  5. The lady at Publix.

 

From now on when confronted with this stuff my response will be "That sounds bad if it really happened.  I need to hear the other side of the story first."  I admit I'm sold school and think there are 2 sides to every story.

:beer: 

 

That's a good approach. My only suggestion is that you apply it to more than just social media and Twitter -- but all media reports.

What's awesome is people wanted the accused prosecuted for what they allegedly said, even though there is no law against saying what they were accused of

 

But now that the situation has changed and the accuser has likely filed a false police report, which is a criminal offense, meh.  don't worry about filing charges

WHEN BLACK DEMOCRATS TELL CUBAN IMMIGRANTS TO “GO HOME,” IT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE SHUT UP.

 

According to information in a police report, it was the accuser–a Georgia state legislator–who uttered an allegedly racist phrase to a fellow shopper at a grocery store.

 

That news from the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

 

Rep. Erica Thomas originally claimed a “white” man confronted her when she had too many items in an express lane and hurled racist insults at her including “Go back to your country” or “Go back where you came from.” . . .

 

A Publix employee told a Cobb County officer that she witnessed part of the conversation and heard Thomas “continuously tell Eric Sparkes to ‘Go back where you came from!”’ but did not hear Sparkes utter those words to Thomas.

 

Democrats project more than an IMAX theater.
