(AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, File) A friend of mine was once in a high-end jewelry store. While looking at an expensive watch, she was startled by a noise. She turned to her right to find — mere inches away — a man wearing a ski mask.
He was gripping a sledgehammer.
At the time, it was a universal truth: If you’re jewelry shopping and encounter a man in a mask, you’re somewhere you don’t want to be.
Next came hammering and thieving, and a gaggle of cops with shotguns at the scene.
But that was then, this is now: These days, masked men — and women — are everywhere.
It’s become the look of America, though for many of us, it’s not the America where we want to be.
From time to time, we see a return to the old normal: Masked individuals still commit violent crimes.
Take, for example, a recent occurrence at a Dorchester, Massachusetts Dunkin’ Donuts .Reportedly, 23-year-old Dion Millsap — his face hidden behind cloth — attacked a 56-year-old man.According to Boston’s 25 News , around 8:30 Thursday morning, the older gentlemen walked into the Harvard Street shop.Dion noticed the man wasn’t sporting a COVID cover.The twentysomething decided he himself would enforce a mask mandate .After a bit of belligerent back-and-forth, Dion determined a way to teach the mask-skirter a scorching lesson: He threw one of his scalding cups of coffee at him.An employee called 911, and police soon found Dion two blocks away. [T]he prosecution says…even after getting caught (he) continued resisting arrest, even injuring an officer while kicking. That officer is doing okay. Dion’s attorney, Ian Henchy, asserts the charges — including one involving weaponry — are too much: “To me, it seems like this is a disorderly conduct case that has been blown way out of proportion. … The assault […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
