Representative Peter King somehow managed to outdo all the usual suspects with his assholish response to Darren Wilson's . . . not acquittal, exactly, but being allowed to walk free after having committed murder.
Sure, your
Coulters and your
Nugents did the expected bald-faced racism thing, but King took being a disgusting prick to a whole new level.
Peter King: President Obama should invite Officer Darren Wilson to the W.H.
Wow!
Okay, first of all, the last time President Obama invited a racist cop to the White House, you right-wingers went apoplectic.
Second. Why the fuck would this guy get an invite to the White House? He killed an unarmed kid and you want to treat him like he just won the Super Bowl?
Even if you're enough of a racist toolbag to believe Wilson's story, there was certainly nothing heroic about what he did. In his version, he was so scared by Micheal Brown's "angry face" that he emptied his gun into him from 35 feet away. Even if you're able to do enough mental gymnastics to convince yourself that this wasn't murder, it's pretty shcoking cowardice.
“I think it would be very helpful if President Obama went and met with
the police officer, or invited him to the White House and said, ‘You’ve
gone through four months of smear and slander, and the least we can do
is tell you that it’s unfortunate that it happened and thank you for
doing your job,’” the New York Republican told Fox Business on Tuesday
The late Micheal Brown has gone through 4 months of smear and slander in addition to having been murdered. Wilson has been on a paid vacation during which some people have pointed out the he killed an unarmed kid who was no threat to him which is totally what he did. But sure, obviously he deserves the thanks of a grateful nation for doing his "job." Why the fuck not? Brown's family hasn't had enough metaphorical slaps in the face, let's have the President treat his kiuller like a national goddamm hero.
“I thought it was terrible how, over the last four months, a narrative
was put out there by our national leaders and by many in the media
presuming that the police officer was guilty,” King said.
Name one.
Name one "national leader" who made any comments presuming Wilson's guilt. Name one. And name me some of the "many in the media" who didn't go with the old "he says A, the witnesses say B, I guess we'll never know!" Go ahead. I'm all ears.
King was not happy with Obama’s remarks, and said, “I wish he had said
one good word about the police, one good word about Officer Wilson, who
has gone through all this.”
Jeezus Christ! Wilson has "gone through all this?" Wilson has? See. I would have thought that the people who have "gone through" a lot would be those who lost their son, those who lost their friend, and all the people who have been told once again by the "Justice" system that their lives don't count. That they can be shot down in the street at any time and no one will ever be called to account. I would have thought that those people had gone through a lot these last few months. But obviously I'm wrong. Obviously, it's much tougher to have kllled a person and have to worry that there's an off chance that the prosecutor might accidentally get an indictment. That's what's really tough.
Even by Republican standards Peter King is a sick piece of shit.
