TULSA SHOOTING

• Wednesday evening a gunman killed 4 people and wounded several others at a Tulsa medical office, before reportedly taking his own life. SOURCE: YouTube
• There are still many questions, but according to Police Capt. Richard Meulenberg this wasn’t a random act of violence: SOURCE: NYT
  • “This wasn’t an individual who just decided he wanted to go find a hospital full of random people,”
  • “He deliberately made a choice to come here and his actions were deliberate.”
• Exact details on the shooter aren’t available but according to the New York Times, Deputy Chief Eric Dalgleish said: SOURCE: NYT
  • “He was between 35 and 40 years old.”
  • Remember, we just showed you this CBS New York clip of Deputy Dalgleish saying this. SOURCE: YouTube
  • There’s actually more video of Dalgleish from this same press conference. SOURCE: Twitter
• I’m sure it’s a one-off, let’s look at how the Washington Post is reporting the shooting. SOURCE: WaPo
  • “Authorities identified the gunman as a 35- to 40-year-old who fired both a rifle and a handgun.”
  • That’s the extent of the description they give of the suspect.
• But don’t worry, the WaPo writers don’t go the whole article without mentioning race:
  • “The Tulsa shooting happened the same day as funerals for some of the victims of the Texas shooting, which left 19 children and two teachers dead. Also that day, the White man accused of killing 10 people at a Buffalo grocery store on May 14 was indicted on 25 counts, including domestic terrorism and murder as a hate crime.”
• WaPo also ran a separate excerpt with the title: SOURCE WaPo
  • “Shooting comes 101 years after Tulsa Race Massacre”
  • Not sure I see the connection, but the whites are bad I guess.
• CNN says police described the shooter's weapons as: SOURCE CNN
  • “a semiautomatic rifle and a semiautomatic pistol.”
  • SUPER VAGUE
• Regardless of motive or type of weapon, this is definitely hard on the Tulsa community.
  • Local pastors did their best to offer words of encouragement. SOURCE: YouTube
• The liberal media doesn’t want us to be a post-racial society.
• They want these shootings to continue until they get every piece of legislation they want.
• Nothing is about saving people, it’s all about control.

DEPP V. HEARD VERDICT

• Yesterday, a decision was finally reached in the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial, it was definitely in Depp’s favor. SOURCE: YouTube
• Heard was found guilty of defamation in all cited instances, totaling $15M in damages. SOURCE: CBS
  • Because of the cap on punitive damages, the total actually comes to $10.35M.
• Depp was pretty comfortable going into jury deliberations, though.
  • After closing arguments, he went to the UK to do a surprise performance with Jeff Beck. SOURCE: YouTube
• Heard plans to appeal the decision: SOURCE: The Guardian
• She also countersued for comments made by Depp’s lawyer, calling her accusations completely false.
  • Her initial countersuit demanded $100M, BUT this failed to rally #MeToo support among jurors.
    • She succeeded on only one count, which was awarded $2M.
• Heard immediately released a statement to the media, appealing to her supporters in feminist ECHO-CHAMBERS: SOURCE: Jezebel
  • “The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I’m heartbroken [...]”
  • “I’m even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback. It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated. It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously.”
  • Amy Schumer rushed to Instagram to quote Gloria Steinem. SOURCE: Instagram
    • “Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke… She will need her sisterhood.”
  • RollingStone also immediately jumped in to mourn the end of the #MeToo movement. SOURCE: RollingStone
    • They quote an anonymous “survivor” who said of the verdict, “This case is my worst fear playing out on a public stage.”
  • And it wouldn’t be a feminist OUTRAGE without an academic!
    • Dr. Jessica Taylor, who penned two books about misogyny and abuse said, “This is basically the end of MeToo… It’s the death of the whole movement.”
    • Maybe it’s just the end of Dr. Taylor’s meal ticket, since her 2020 book is literally titled: SOURCE: Twitter

• In her statement, Heard also claimed it was her right to defame Depp. SOURCE: Instagram
  • “I believe Johnny’s attorneys succeeded in getting the jury to overlook the key issue of Freedom of Speech [...]”
  • “I’m sad I lost this case. But I am sadder still that I seem to have lost a right I thought I had as an American–to speak freely and openly.”
• Depp’s statement after the trial said, SOURCE: CNN
  • “My decision to pursue this case, knowing very well the height of the legal hurdles that I would be facing and the inevitable, worldwide spectacle into my life, was only made after considerable thought.”
  • “From the very beginning, the goal of bringing this case was to reveal the truth, regardless of the outcome. Speaking the truth was something that I owed to my children and to all those who have remained steadfast in their support of me. I feel at peace knowing I have finally accomplished that.”
