It turns out that the DOJ is now investigating the court ruling in Oakland last night over the death of Oscar Grant. I mean, really what gives? The court has ruled, and let the parties involved appeal it or be done with it. That’s how our Justice system works. Why would the feds need to get involved? Oh wait, I know. Justice apparently wasn’t served last night in a case that alleges that a white cop killed a black man. Now I get it.
Beck asserts that it’s like we are in the 1950’s again but the races are reversed. I’m not sure Beck is entirely wrong either. I’ve been wondering myself all morning if Barack Obama and Eric Holder basically agree with what Michael Brown said in his interview with Hannity – that there is this great injustice continuing the oppression of black people in this country and that people like King Shabazz are just trying to level the playing field. Honestly, it’s really starting to look like it.
Remember the white cop who acted stupidly in Boston? Remember the New Black Panther that was let off the hook for voter intimidation? Remember communist Van Jones being picked by Obama to be in the White House after all the racist crap he said? Remember the admitted redistributionalist Donald Berwick that Obama just picked to head up Medicare? Remember Joe the Plumber???
I could go on. Everything this White House does is geared toward redistributing the wealth because of some grave injustice being perpetrated by some group of people, often the rich white man. Health Care is about wealth redistribution. Federal takeover of the college loan program is about wealth redistribution. The growth of the public sector is all about wealth redistribution. Geez!
So when Beck makes his assertion that it seems that the Justice department is now seeking revenge based on a racial injustice playbook, I’m inclined to agree with him based on everything we know about this radical leftist regime that is now running the White House.
And I’m sick of it!
UPDATE: Ed Morrissey at Hot Air has a more moderate take on the DOJ’s announcement:
There doesn’t appear to be a good reason for the DoJ to intercede in this case.
And they probably won’t. All they did was announce that they would review the case, but with Mehserle going to prison and the DoJ already fighting another political battle on civil-rights enforcement in the voter-intimidation case that blew up in their faces, it’s more likely that the announcement was intended to cool public ire in Oakland over the verdict.
I hope Ed is right. I would rather them not intervene at all, if this was simply to calm everyone down, then it may not be a bad thing. The problem is that it does fit into a pattern that I’ve written about above, and I have a suspicion that this won’t with just an announcement. But time will tell.
