The Challenge: Susan Sarandon’s retweet of a put up likening the funeral of Detective Jason Rivera to a show of fascism.
The police who went to the funerals at St. Patrick’s didn't collect to commit fascist crimes in opposition to humanity (“Sarandon’s ‘fascist’ insult,” Feb. 3).
They went to say goodbye to 2 cops who responded to a lady’s name for assist and who have been shot and killed. They went to indicate the households of those males that they care.
They went to be surrounded by “household” as a result of they know that on any given day, they may very well be those leaving the individuals at residence who love them ceaselessly.
As a result of some cops sin, ought to all police take off the uniform, go residence and assume another person will reply to homicide, rape, theft, residence invasion, carjackings and weapon-wielding spouse beaters?

How totally unhappy that Democratic Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou and actress Susan Sarandon took the highlight after the deaths of two New York Metropolis cops who have been killed within the line of obligation (“ ‘Police Nazi’ pol bashed,” Feb, 3).
These two willfully misperceive that the police put their lives on the road whereas defending New Yorkers. Why wouldn’t their comrades acknowledge their supreme sacrifice and pay respects on the funerals?
Taking a look at Niou’s and Sarandon’s pathetic shows, present it’s obvious they know nothing about historical past.

Two younger detectives have been murdered and laid to relaxation, and Sarandon retweets a put up that stated “that is what fascism appears to be like like” as a result of hundreds of officers got here to pay their respects.
She has been spouting hatred of the police, army and Republicans for a few years. Susan: Don't name the police.

We shouldn't be shocked on the views espoused by Sarandon. She minimize her activist tooth selling anti-police causes.
Together with the radical-chic of the day, she shamelessly supported Wesley Prepare dinner, a.ok.a Mumia Abu-Jamal, who murdered Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner 40 years in the past.
As I stated, no shock right here.

When are these out-of-touch, fearmongering politicians, athletes and Hollywood elites going to select up a dictionary and lookup the which means of the phrases “Nazi” and “fascist”?
Exploiting historic occasions, atrocities and actions for the sake of collective despair and political acquire is past egregious.
The outright unfavorable and divisive tweets and sound bites are nothing in need of blatant disregard for the info in favor of gross ignorance and a deliberate try and distort the reality.
Please bear in mind to not name on the police while you’re at risk or have been assaulted.
Democrats right this moment accuse their political opponents and all those that maintain divergent views as being Nazis and fascists as a solution to censor all opposing ideas and concepts.

Whereas so many New Yorkers are grief-stricken over the homicide of two younger and devoted policemen, Sarandon likened the multitude of officers on the funeral of Rivera to fascism.
For my part, her view of peacekeepers is indifferent from actuality. She is the epitome of ingratitude and imperiousness personified by excessive socialists, the totalitarian twins of fascists.

Simply what's Sarandon smoking lately?
She retweeted a put up calling the massive turnout of cops for slain Detective Jason Rivera fascism. How about solidarity?
I revered Sarandon as an enthralling actress. Not anymore.

Whereas I’m positive Sarandon is kind of happy with her remark relating to the necessity for police, it was nothing in need of disgusting.
Utilizing the event of Detective Wibert Mora’s funeral to additional the anti-police narrative is precisely why we’re right here.
That was somebody’s little one, for God’s sake. You're actually a moron.
