Video: New Yorkers Sign Petition to Topple ‘Slave Owner’ Washington Statue, But Not Muhammad

Social experiment highlights rampant hypocrisy.

A social experiment by Ami Horowitz shows New Yorkers gleefully signing a petition to take down statues of “slave owners” like George Washington, but suddenly becoming reticent when Horowitz mentions the Prophet Muhammad.

“I want to take down all statues of people who owned slaves in this country,” Horowitz told potential signatories, emphasizing how he wanted to remove the statue of George Washington in DC.

All of the people featured in the video gleefully signed the petition to take down statues of “slave owners” like Washington and Jefferson.

However, when it came to another infamous historical slave owner, their enthusiasm suddenly waned.

“I want to take down a statue of Muhammad, the founder of Islam, because he also owned slaves,” Horowitz tells a black woman.

“OK, I don’t want to sign this,” she responds.

Every other person in the clip refuses to sign the petition to remove statues of Muhammad.

Asked why people are signing the petition to take down Washington’s statue but not the one applying to Muhammad, one man argues that it’s because of “religious freedom.”

“But slavery’s not part of religious freedom,” responds Horowitz.

Obviously, there are no statues of the Prophet Muhammad, but nobody is calling for mosques to be demolished, despite the fact that Muhammad owned slaves.

As the BBC highlights, “The Prophet Muhammad did not try to abolish slavery, and bought, sold, captured, and owned slaves himself.”

However, the rest of the article strenuously argues that because Muhammad treated his slaves well and encouraged others to do the same, that this made his slave ownership acceptable.

The same justification probably wouldn’t go down as well when applied to Washington or Jefferson.

The social experiment underscores how slave ownership is almost certainly not the real reason for leftists wanting to see statues of Washington and Jefferson toppled.

Video: Only Store Not Looted in South African Shopping Mall is the Book Shop

Telling.

A new video has emerged in which a South African woman points out the irony of the only outlet in a shopping mall remaining completely untouched by looters being a bookstore.

After showing electronics and clothing stores that have been completely cleaned out, the video cuts to a book shop that looks totally pristine.

“The bookstore is completely untouched, this is ridiculous, I’m not even making this up,” the woman remarks.

Many such cases!

As Chris Menahan documents, citizen vigilante groups have now formed in huge numbers to fight off looters who have been running rampage for days.

The self-defense groups are also dishing out sometimes violent retribution towards the looters, including by caning and whipping the criminals.

Another video shows looters stripped naked and being humiliated by being forced to crawl around on all fours.

Another clip shows looters being forced by cops to sing “roll, roll, roll your boat” as they roll around in dirt.

The bedlam began after supporters of Jacob Zuma reacted with rampant criminality to the former president’s arrest for corruption.

10,000 troops have been sent in to the worst hit areas to try to restore order while the unrest has so far claimed at least 117 lives with 2,203 people being arrested.

Portland Police Reassure Antifa That Man Shot by Police Was White to Avoid Riot

“Nothing to worry about folks, we just killed a white guy!”

Portland Police moved to reassure Antifa extremists that a man they shot in the back was white in order to avoid a riot after it was erroneously reported the victim was black.

Yes, really.

After a man allegedly armed with a screwdriver was shot by cops outside a motel in Northeast Portland, authorities moved quickly to announce that the suspect was not African-American.

“There is erroneous information being circulated on social media regarding in the officer involved shooting in the Lloyd district. We can confirm that the subject involved is an adult white male. No one else was injured,” tweeted Portland Police.

As Andy Ngo highlighted, the tweet was posted in order to avoid a confrontation with Antifa rioters, who were already gathering at the location after rumors swirled that the man shot by police was black.

“Nothing to worry about folks, we just killed a white guy!” joked Chris Menahan.

Portland Police also likely leaked to the news media that the officer who fired the shots was black.

According to an eyewitness, the man shot by police was suicidal and became agitated as he was being helped into an ambulance before lunging at cops with the screwdriver.

However, the man was only apparently shot when he was running away from officers, meaning that a protest would have actually been justified in this case.

The situation mirrors that of a similar incident that took place in Minnesota back in April.

After a carjacker fired shots at police, he was gunned down by cops. Black Lives Matter protesters immediately gathered in response but soon left after it emerged the victim was white.

Video: Minneapolis Rioter Can’t Even Remember the Name of the Person He’s Rioting For

Leftist agitators stage more disorder after wanted murder suspect shot by police.

A clip out of Minneapolis shows a rioter forgetting the name of the person he’s supposed to be rioting over.

What an idiot.

Video footage shows a burning pile of debris with the rioter initially out of shot. When he agrees to appear on camera, he immediately confirms his total ignorance.

“Stay here, bro, we’re holding space, obviously for…I’m not gonna lie, I forgot his name, but like…” says the rioter.

“Winston Smith,” the person filming the footage has to remind him.

The rioter then goes on to emphasize multiple times how it’s important to remember the name of Winston Smith, having forgotten it himself.

“Winston Smith, don’t forget that name, Winston Smith,” says the idiot, presumably as a reminder to himself.

“Say his name, make sure you remember this shit,” he adds, having failed to remember it.

“We’re gonna fight for him in just the same way we fought for George Floyd,” he says.

What, by burning down buildings, looting stores and attacking anyone who doesn’t agree with your violent temper tantrum?

As ever, the individual they’re rioting over, who was killed by U.S. Marshals last night, was a criminal suspect wanted on a gun charge.

According to a Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department spokesman, Smith “”failed to comply and produced a handgun, resulting in task force members firing upon the subject.”

“Law enforcement sources told FOX 9 the person who was shot was a murder suspect,” reports Newsweek.
