it's the same story the crow told me

 it's the only one he knows,

like the morning sun you come 

and like the wind you go (Hunter/Garcia)

so when is a riot not really a riot ?  the answer is a simple one...when the DA and the PRESS say so.

The Bronx and Manhattan DA's have tossed out hundreds of cases against people arrested last year in the George Floyd Riots ......i wonder why .....so did the NY Post....but the Bronx DA Darcel Clark and the Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance both refused comment.....think about that for a moment....an elected official refuses to do their job and then refuses to even comment . So the Police that risked their own lives and arrested these animals did so for nothing.....the storeowners who saw their businesses robbed, looted and destroyed now get to see the culprits go free and have their records expunged....and yet some in high liberal society can't put their finger on why the common man is soooooo ANGRY.

so the nation celebrated Juneteenth saturday for the first time as a federal holiday.....i am fine with that.....i celebrate my Irish heritage every Saint Patricks's day....granted i have to use a vacation day to do so, but still if a group of people find a reason to celebrate...well....that's usually a good thing. What we can only hope for is that in the dreaded classrooms of our nation that the glorified babysitters have the courage to TEACH about how and why Slavery came to an end......and how many white males died fighting for the union and the end of slavery.(doesn't really matter what was in their hearts or what their motivation was...."science" says they died fighting for the union). let's hope they take the lesson a step further and trace the "Root Cause" of slavery......maybe the VP can explain who captured the slaves in Africa and the West Indies and sold them into slavery.......spoiler alert, it wasn't the white males of America......

lastly......saturday night over 1,000 people were lured , encouraged or inspired to show up at the Pristine Pier Village complex in Long branch NJ.....a small patch of High End restaurants and shops with  a beautiful beach that costs $$ to visit during the day and is closed at night.......well the visitors on this night were encouraged to bring their own alcohol and marijuana and have an impromptu / unwanted/ illegal dance party.....the Riots squads were brought in from neighboring towns, people dining in the cafes were harassed during their meals with Black lives Matter chants and an otherwise wonderful spot was ruined....maybe for good.......you won't find me there after sunset ever again, thats for sure........if this is the first you are hearing of this , well that's no surprise......despite hundreds of photos on the internet.....our local channel 2, 5 and 7 News have YET to even work this story into the rotation.....

Ain't no time to Hate,

 barely time to wait

Wo-oah, what I want to know,

where does the time go?
