No need to listen to the tapes because it is a script and the reason for executing it is a cliche performance, to deflect attention from something illegal the perp has underway.<br /><br />The aforementioned public servants know every line, every gesture, every inflection and the specific reason it is performed -- and it is exactly that, a performance. It is so common, so predictable, every one of the aforementioneds has the script memorized.<br /><br />I drove public transit in a large large US city for 23 years, BTW, now retired.<br /><br />The Cambridge SGT Greta interviews on Gateway Pundit today alludes to that script and the cliched predictability of it.<br /><br />So Skip Gates is a textbook case using a textbook script. It did not work, as it usually does not. Police remark that the jails are not full of smart people.<br /><br />The question is what was Skip hiding? The purpose of initiating the script is to deflect attention from something embarrassing that is also illegal and in the immediate vicinity.<br /><br />The police knew that was the issue. They have been through it countless times. Drugs and a male prostitute, probably minor, is a common scenario. On a bus, it starts with non-payment of fare, despite probably carrying hundreds or thousands of dollars. Then it rapidly escalates to taking control of the ambience of the bus, holding everyone in fear and laughing inwardly at "whitey's" stupidity, and waiting for the opportunity to file a civil rights suit.<br /><br />Text book. Police see it daily in big cities, public transit operators that often or nearly so. It is a script, executed thousands of times daily across the nation. So familiar to police and bus drivers they have it memorized and could fill in lines the perp forgets in their fervor to evade, hide, torment and control.<br /><br />The one thing perps cannot do is is simply fly straight. That is beyond this type, the punks, which includes Skip, Cornell West and James Cone.<br /><br />I do not know the facts, but if Skip was not on crack, I would be surprised, and if he was not "at home" with a male sex object I also would be surprised. But as I say, I do not know those particular facts.<br /><br />Also, if he lived there, why did he have to break in? Something untoward there from the top. The police knew that, were looking to see what specifically it was. Must have been huge given Skip's response.<br /><br />His execution of the script says that the facts were severely embarrassing and so he was trying to drive away scrutiny. In that he failed.<br /><br />And with him pulling that crap rather than not engaging in the crooked behavior in the first place, and backed up from the White House, the entire police force of the United States deserted the occupant of the White House. Damage-wise from the race pimps' perspective it was more disastrous than OJ.<br /><br />There are thousands of Americans with brown or coffee skin coloration given by European mixed with African genetics who serve their nations and families with honor, creativity and dignity. They are mortified by the likes of Skip and, if they had not already figured it out, realize now that the occupant of the White House is an Un-American Racist Tyrant who positively does not support their interests but actively subverts them.<br /><br />That the US police force now is against that individual and his partner, who in fact runs the show, denies him those guns. He already lost the great majority of the others. S/he has nothing left and does not know it, nor ever will.David R.

(While at the same time assuring us all along that, really, he doesn't care at all...no, really, trust him...even as he makes three, voluminous, angry, posts that clearly demonstrate for everyone to see that he cares...quite a lot, actually, which makes it even more sad and pathetic to watch him trying to have his rhetorical cake and eat it, too.) <br /><br />He also appears to make a number of unfounded assertions in his latest screed and now the whole thing has degraded to farce, all because he doesn't like that Mr. McCain (and Smitty, I guess) combine politics with things that aren't politics*. (This is, if I'm reading him right, a cardinal sin in Riehl's book because, as he says, people just don't like having both in an ostensibly political blog, never mind that Ace of Spades' (and about a thousand other poli blogs on the left and right) entire schtick is based on politics + all sorts of other, out of left field, things and is far, far more popular than Riehl's and McCain's blogs combined.)<br /><br />He also doesn't seem to grasp even one iota the concept of marketing (which is what all this link-whoring ends up being for the participants: they get lots of potential views that--gasp!--might just turn into new readers who will keep coming back like I have for about a half-dozen 'rule' bloggers) and if Riehl is pleased as punch with where he is and what he's doing (as he keeps telling us over and over again) why does he feel the need to 'call out' those that are staking a different path to blog 'stardom' than he is? Why, if he doesn't really care, does he go on and on about it?<br /><br />Anyway, that's my last post on this silliness--I don't even know either of these guys, but McCain is, at least, staying mostly above it (his only response to this has been incredibly restrained and civil and almost off-topic to, I imagine, avoid insulting someone he considers a friend) but Riehl has kinda gone off the deep end on this and, hopefully, he'll be back 'on message' come tomorrow.<br /><br />*The thing is, he keeps adding to the litany of 'crimes' for which McCain and co. are 'guilty' which has evolved with each, subsequent, post to include more things he doesn't really like and that upstanding bloggers should never-ever do because they're bad (and because they might pass Riehl someday soon, traffic-wise).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-36621654461889220942009-07-28T19:20:13.588-04:002009-07-28T19:20:13.588-04:00Anonymous:
