Free the Baltimore Six

Jack Cashill / American Thinker

If anyone doubted before Friday that the postmodern lynch mob era is in full swing, Baltimore state’s attorney, Marilyn Mosby, put those doubts to rest.

“To the youth of the city,” said Mosby, “I will seek justice on your behalf.  This is a moment.  This is your moment.  Let’s insure we have peaceful and productive rallies that will develop structural and systemic changes for generations to come.  You’re at the forefront of this cause and as young people, our time is now.”

The “justice” she alluded to comprised charges ranging from false imprisonment to second-degree depraved murder against six Baltimore police officers involved in arresting and transporting the late Freddie Gray.  Unlike lynch mob leaders of yore, who set out to subvert the law, postmodernists like Mosby subvert the language to give the illusion that they are supporting the law, if not elevating it.

In reality, the “youth of the city” just burned much of it down; focused their wrath on non-blacks, especially the Asian shopkeepers in their midst; and injured some 100 Baltimore cops in the process, as well as many civilians.  The notion that they were clamoring for “justice” is as delusional as the notion that Mosby’s “systemic change” would do them any good.  Caught up in the grievance narrative pushed for the last six years by the postmodernist-in-chief, Barack Obama, the “youth” were clamoring for revenge.

It is understandable why they were.  Three years earlier, the media assured the “youth” over and over that a young black boy out to buy Skittles and iced tea for his little brother was, in the immortal words of Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, “hunted down like a rabid dog.”  To reinforce this message, the major media, in full violation of journalistic ethics, repeatedly showed images of a prepubescent Trayvon Martin, not recent images of the six-foot, street-fighting, dope-smoking delinquent that Martin had become.
