Miranda Devine writes a column for the New York Post. Her latest: "The left is weaponizing women’s misplaced empathy — and it threatens all of us." The inspiration for her post was the recent murder of an elderly white man, 76-year-old Ross Falzone, by a serially violent black man, 32-year-old Rhamell Burke. Reports indicate that Burke was released from a psychiatric hold mere hours before he murdered Falzone. But Burke has frequently been in and out of police custody and Devine was interested why. And the why seems to be leftist women who care more about social preening than the safety of the public.
For instance, Devine notes that an unnamed 23-year old woman had been attacked by Burke five weeks before he killed Falzone. But she didn't want to cooperate with police because, in her own words, "Maybe a part of me was just like, I don’t want to put another black man in jail." As Devine points out:
Maybe if she had indulged in less self-congratulatory empathy for the maniac who allegedly tried to kill her and felt more compassion for her fellow New Yorkers left to the mercy of an out-of-control predator roaming the streets, Ross Falzone would still be alive.
But she is not the only liberal woman to help Burke murder Falzone.
The judge who released Burke despite a recent string of four arrests for bizarre and violent behavior is also a woman.
Judge Marva Brown, a former Legal Aid Society public defender, is known for her lenient treatment of violent felons. In an undated video of a speech doing the rounds on social media, she explains her thinking: “The personal effect of having an incarcerated family member is very strong with me and the work that I do each and every day.”
Devine continues:
Rampant homelessness, open-air drug dens, defunded police and emasculated justice systems are hallmarks of Democratic cities and all justified in the name of compassion.
The biggest defenders of this breakdown of moral order are pampered white liberal women, who are so conspicuous that they have earned the acronym “AWFL,” for affluent white female liberal.
President Trump triggers these women into paroxysms of performative rage, escalating from the pussy-hat protests of his first term to the anti-ICE protests and mystifying No Kings rallies across the country. Almost 90% of No Kings participants were white, almost 60% were women, the median age 44, and almost one quarter agreed with the statement that “Americans may have to resort to violence in order to save our country,” according to researchers at American University who surveyed the group in Washington, DC, last year.
Sometimes, if they are literally mugged by reality, they change their tune, like “The Young Turks” podcast co-host Ana Kasparian. She said she quit the Democratic Party after being berated by fellow liberals as a heartless racist for saying she was afraid to leave her house after being sexually assaulted by a homeless man while walking her dog in Los Angeles.
She goes on to discuss the growing number of women that support political assassination, so read the whole thing.
