Ah, the classic case of selective outrage. It seems like once again, some folks can’t quite decide when to cheer and when to jeer. The recent drama in Minneapolis with Renee Good and her car-ramming antics has stirred up quite the spectacle. Yet, the real question isn’t her method of creative vehicular expression; it’s the predictable reaction we’ve come to know from the left: outrage with a side of irony.
Just rewind a little to the not-so-distant past. Remember Ashley Babbitt? Of course, you do. Her tragic end was marked not by media uproar but by a deafening silence, interrupted only occasionally by whispers of approval from the usual suspects. An unarmed veteran caught up in the chaos was shot, and the collective response from the left was to shrug their shoulders and move along. No protests, no murals, no tears from those who cry the loudest.
Fast forward to the Twin Cities, where a left-wing protestor decided it was a fine day for a showdown with ICE officers. The rest of the story is as foreseeable as the sunrise—or media bias. Much like its counterpart on a lazy afternoon, the media erupted in outrage, painting the streets red with indignation. This selective empathy is glaring, almost like it was written in fluorescent ink.
Our dear Caroline Levit turned the tables at the press briefing, throwing a curveball by asking the media why they seem to have a filter on their sympathy. Her reminder was as poignant as it was necessary, highlighting how the outrage seems to have a leftist GPS, ping-ponging only where politically convenient. She painted a picture of a world where Ashley Babbitt and countless others are more than just footnotes in the media’s tale of two tragedies.
Then there’s the small matter of President Trump’s knack for surviving assassination attempts like he’s on a never-ending episode of a political Houdini. Each escape only fuels the fire on the left, who respond with the grace of a bull in a china shop. They build shrines for perpetrators while turning victims into villains, a topsy-turvy world where fact and fantasy frolic hand in hand.
The comment section of our political narrative is brimming with theories, from alleged fraud rings that have tunneled through the Midwest’s heart to questions about wealth amassing in unexpected places. Caroline Levit’s call to spotlight these issues, urging us to dig deeper, resonates as a clarion call. It’s a reminder that the fight isn’t just about what makes the headlines but about the stories that slip through the cracks.
The tale of two tragedies continues, a saga where media bias is as predictable as tomorrow’s sunrise. Let’s remember not to get swept away by the flashy outrage but rather stay anchored to the tales untold, the lives unrecognized, and the truths untold. As they say, the only way out is through, and we can’t help but agree.
