When you have the record that Attorney General Keith Ellison does, it’s understandable that he doesn’t want the cops showing up.
According to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, women who have just been sexually assaulted would prefer to talk to a social worker than law enforcement. The former DNC Deputy Chair and Congressman shared his thoughts about how rape victims feel following their attack on a Zoom meeting.
“If you’re a woman who’s been a victim of a sexual assault and the assailant has ran away, wouldn’t you rather talk to somebody who is trained in helping you deal with what you’re dealing with as opposed to somebody who’s main training is that they know how to use a firearm, right?”
If you’re a crime victim, you’re calling the police because you want the bastard brought to justice. If you just want someone to talk to, you call a therapist.
But Ellison is pushing “restorative justice” which is the big ugly thing waiting in the wings behind “criminal justice reform” and police defunding. That means letting criminals go unpunished, even more than before, while arranging therapy sessions for the victims. And if those victims are members of the wrong group whose lives don’t matter, that will include owning their privilege and being lectured about white fragility, and perhaps going to jail for even daring to call the police.
In other words, if you think that things are bad now, just wait. We’re going to some much worse places.
Ellison is about the worst messenger for this after having been accused by ex-girlfriends Amy Alexander and Karen Monahan of domestic abuse. The Alexander assault led to a 911 call which produced its own records. Despite that the Democrats stuck by Ellison and now he’s in a position to advocate for policies that would badly harm rape victims. But then again that fits neatly into Ellison’s religious convictions. Islamic law doesn’t favor rape victims. Like the Left, it favors rapists.

One of the things that keeps me up at night: “Attorney General of the United States, Keith Ellison”. How much of a possibility should the senile old man in the basement and the otherwise unqualified “woman of color” be handed control of the nation in November?

+1. I sincerely hope that a very large majority of Americans shares your concerns. I do not look forward to the presidency of Michelle Ingrate Obama.

That would be atrocious, Kepha–may it never come to pass.

*So true*, revereridesagain.

If there is one thing I could list as most offensive to me that would be the, they are a preferred group, they cant be criticized, they shouldn’t be called out for what they are or what they are doing because of what or who they are comments that I read too often. I don’t know about others but I despise being told what I should or shouldn’t do by others, strangers.
It has been my experience that when it comes to you your life and what and who you are others are mostly wrong. I want to say to all, Good God Mister, stand up for what you know to be true and right (because the rest of it is making me sick).
Regarding that in today’s culture that makes me a rebel and a proud one. Some of what is going on keeps me up at night but rejecting what the culture warriors say is not one of those things.

The Red-Green Axis of Evil is NOT in favor of women nor working in their interest, because discriminatory Sharia law’s purpose is to remove human rights and civil liberties from women first and kafirs next.
Once Muslim males show that they cannot be controlled, and are a law unto themselves, then the kafirs have to leave or submit to constant terrorism.
Antifa is mainly a Trotskyist organization. Ellison keeps company with self-declared thugs.
The ironical thing about this so-called ‘antifascist action’ is that it is working for capitalist globalists who are using the Left to bring about Globalist Fascism … a world in which big corporations like Google, Twitter, Amazon and Apple own and control all information. They couldn’t care less about the proletariat, working class or migrants. They are all mere pawns in the game of GLOBALIST CAPITAL.
I ask people to review this scene

If police are defunded, the thugs will rule guided by the Mega-Corporations and Muslim politicians like Ellison who as Attorney General is preaching government-sponsored lawlessness. He is preparing the rule of Red-Green Axis whose official religion is already discriminatory Islam.
Ellison is following Mohammed’s strategy. Mohammed at first hired a band of vagabond thugs called ‘THE SAALIK’ or the ‘ANSAR’ (‘the auxiliaries’). Those were Mohammed’s thug army who enforced his decrees through rape, theft, contract killings and sabotage.
Ellison is following the prophet’s methodology.

Thanks Hussein Obama, you built this! MN is in terrible shape, between Ellison and Ilan Omar.

these two make my skin crawl.
Kepha says
I just hope the voters of Minnesota wake up by November. But I’m sure that a lot of white Minneapolis-St; Paul and Duluth supported Ellison simply to prove their liberal credentials.

Just one more example of how the civilized world is down on one knee before it’s new masters.

MN Atty General Ellison Accused of Abusing Girlfriends Doesn’t Want Cops Responding to Rapes
…………..
Of course he doesn’t want anyone who can stop a rape or catch a rapist responding–instead, he wants unarmed social workers showing up.
More:
“If you’re a woman who’s been a victim of a sexual assault and the assailant has ran away, wouldn’t you rather talk to somebody who is trained in helping you deal with what you’re dealing with as opposed to somebody who’s main training is that they know how to use a firearm, right?”
…………..
Hell no–I’d want someone who could catch the rapist. And what if he *hasn’t* “ran away” (sic)? Then you’ve got someone who almost certainly will be unable to stop further violence (and will not be authorized to stop it even if they are able to), and may even fall victim to it themselves. And even if the rapist has left, does that mean you will have a nice counselling session while the rapist is out covering their tracks, or–even worse–assaulting other victims?
If I want a therapist, I can talk to one later.
And note: this is not just theoretical with me; I am the survivor of rape.

…………..
“Restorative justice” may be fine if the crime is some underaged punk who has tagged your garage. He apologizes and spends the next weekend painting your garage door, and you forgive him and maybe give him a nice cool lemonade to drink when it is over.
But *rape*? What kind of insanity is this? That a rapist can sit down with his victims is *further victimization*. And the idea that the “community” should get involved is bizarre as well–and what if the “community” in question is *Muslim*? Then you would be as likely to have the victim castigated for being out without a Bjurqa, or just condemned for being out at all.

gravenimage,
When I saw the news this morning, it looked like more rioting downtown in your city. I hope you are safe and sound—??
gravenimage says
Thank you, GreekEmpress. Yes, there was rioting in Oakland last night–the rioters didn’t head up this way because they headed down towards the bay so they could vandalize a police station and the Alameda County Courthouse.
https://abc7news.com/portland-protest-live-stream-oakland-black-lives-matter-wall-of-moms-bay-area/6334877/
Ugly stuff. In fact, this kind of destruction is exactly what federal forces in places like Portland is intended to prevent.
GreekEmpress says
I just looked at your link—
Awful! Years and years ago I lived by Lake Merritt. Is Jack London Square still standing with all this rioting going on?
gravenimage says
I’m not far from Lake Merritt myself, GreekEmpress. Yes, Jack London Square is still standing–but between the riots, looting, and Coronavirus lockdown, it has sadly seen better days.
I hope you are in a safe place.

Ellison like Pelosi are a protected group who don’t need the police. They have their own security group who answer to them and them alone. I’ll bet they give their security people the right to use excessive force if need be and to shoot to kill. Kind of a double standard don’t you think. Defund the police because you really don’t need them, as you are not worth protecting according to them.
I wonder how long they would but up with rioters/demonstrators keeping them from leaving their homes or of their property being burned or destroyed before they called for the police/gov’t troops to protect them?
I can see Nancy now on CNN telling us how wonderful and peaceful the demonstrators were that burned her San Fransisco mansion and vineyards to the ground. And Ellison would step up to defend them and file suits on the demonstrators behalf if they were injured at the event.
It is sad to think that people like Pelosi and Ellison are the best we can find to run for political office. Or are we the American tax payer being duped by the two party system that controls who can run for office?
gravenimage says
As bad as Nancy Pelosi is, she has had a Muslim running against her, on the platform that she is *not leftist enough*.
