New in PJ Media:
We hear a great deal about “white privilege” in America these days, but the truth is that those who are said to be privileged are not, and those who claim to be marginalized are actually the elites. Anyone who doubts this should study the case of Mohamed Noor, the Somali Muslim migrant cop in Minneapolis who shot an unarmed woman, Justine Ruszczyk Damond, to death on July 15, 2017. His murder conviction was overturned last year, and now he is set to be released next week. Of course: he’s black, he’s a Muslim, he’s a migrant. As far as the Left is concerned, he’s a triple victim. Why should he stay in prison for a small thing such as killing a woman?
CBS News reported Saturday that Noor will be a free man on Monday, eighteen days short of the fifth anniversary of his killing of Damond, who was engaged to be married and called the police to report the apparent assault of a woman near her home. Noor fatally shot her when she approached his patrol car. He claimed that he had been “startled” by a loud noise, but none of the neighbors recalled hearing anything.
Damond’s father, John Ruszczyk, was appalled by the fact that Noor would soon be out on the street: “His release after a trivial sentence shows great disrespect to the wishes of the jury who represented the communities of Minneapolis and their wish to make a statement about the communities’ expectations of police behavior and actions.” Noor was initially convicted of murder, but the Minnesota Supreme Court threw out the murder conviction and resentenced him to four years and nine months on a charge of manslaughter.
Damond’s stepmother, Maryan Heffernan, made some telling observations: “We’re very disappointed. But we’re not surprised. We’ve been watching events in Minneapolis from miles away and we’re still bewildered about the charge being dropped and we’re still bewildered about the culture of the Minneapolis Police Department.”
Heffernan’s bewilderment is understandable, but the culture of the Minneapolis Police Department is readily explicable. Mohamed Noor was the first Somali Muslim on the Minneapolis police force, and the force couldn’t have been prouder of this visible manifestation of its commitment to “diversity.” In 2016, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges expressed her excitement about that fact: “I want to take a moment to recognize Officer Mohamed Noor, the newest Somali officer in the Minneapolis Police Department. Officer Noor has been assigned to the 5th Precinct, where his arrival has been highly celebrated, particularly by the Somali community in and around Karmel Mall.”
It’s important to note that Hodges wasn’t excited because Mohamed Noor was a first-class police recruit who had demonstrated that he had the skills necessary to become a fine police officer. It’s didn’t matter at all how he performed during officer training; the Minneapolis Police Department and city officials were determined that Mohamed Noor would succeed no matter what.
There is more. Read the rest here.

That this Somalia murderous Muslim got away with ,almost , complete impunity is so terribly outrageously wrong that letting that misogynistic Western despising White people hating vicious fiend that allowing that murderer who must be a heinous monster ,at heart get only five years is alone a ruling of a US court that alone of totally evil.
Therefore the following information is very important to reiterate
Which is that “There are two despicable evil reasons of complete cowardness that this murderous Muslim only get five years for the crime his committed then he have really should been executed by the law authorities State government .
One reason is that the authorities had been afraid of being accused of “Islamophobia” and that might upset the local Muslims and other people in the State. They might have been scared of being against Islam and some people have the false and nonsensical ideal that ,somehow , “Islam is a race .”
When in reality islam is not a race but a religious/ political /Shaira deceptive mind control system.
The other reason is really does involve race and racism .Being that because the horrible politically correct influence in the US court system since that criminal was a Black and who murdered a unarmed non-violent White women who haven’t even done anything wrong The cowardly court might had been accused of being “racially motivated” if it gave that murderous fiend a sentence of more the five short years for his despicable crime.
What’s more if may have ,very much , been the Somali immigrant was was the one who was wickedly racially motivated when he murdered that poor defenceless White woman. Yet no one had enough courage to file race hate crime charges against him’
.
For those “reasons” of total cowardness justice was not served . Which PC infested law institutions America is no longer thel and of “Justice for all.”
In addition because of the PC infected and corrupted United States courts, if summoned to jury duty I refuse to serve because tragic reality the US legal and court system are now a hoax.”

His behavior suggests that he was using khat, a drug popular with the Somali community.

I think his being on Islam was an even greater concern…

I used to work as a P/T carer. One of my service users was a ‘refugee’ Somali guy. He used to sleep all day and smoke dope and eat Khan all night while watching porn videos with his Somali mates.
One day I was told not to go to his flat as the health auhorities worried he might have a psychotic attack. And maybe knife me!!!
