What should have been a conversation about why Jacob Blake was not in jail and why rioters were allowed to burn down half of the city became, instead, incredibly, a story about a racist white kid who terrorized the noble protestors with his AR-15.
Pride Cometh
In response to the horrific shooting in nearby Nashville, what did the Franklin, Tennessee city council decide to vote on last week?
Hosting a new Pride parade through the center of town! Franklin is a quiet, idyllic little town just south of where the Covenant school shooting took place, and according to friends who fled California for new, more peaceful lives there, no one wants or needs more Pride in town.
But the mayor surrendered, naturally, and bent the knee to the trans activists, perhaps in fear they would wreak even more vengeance against a local school. He voted to break the tie and allow the upcoming parade.
A friend in Franklin sent me this: “What isn’t being reported is that businesses and companies spoke out against the parade. There has been a small gay festival outside town the last two years, and it was not well attended, and very small. This is just an outside activist push. The majority of the city is pretty upset. They were upset last year when there were drag performances in town. The city is being targeted, but there is no desire among the populace for this. [The Pride parade people] wanted the whole downtown this year.”
And that’s exactly what they’re going to get.
