New York Times Reports On Muslim Proselytizing During Charlie Hebdo Attack, Then Deletes It

Here’s the latest example of the New York Times censoring itself to avoid offending Muslims after an act of Islamic terror. This morning, BenK at Ace of Spades quoted an NYT story by Liz Alderman titled “Survivors Retrace a Scene of Horror at Charlie Hebdo.” Take note of these two paragraphs from that story:

Sigolène Vinson, a freelancer who had decided to come in that morning to take part in the meeting, thought she would be killed when one of the men approached her.

Instead, she told French news media, the man said, “I’m not going to kill you because you’re a woman, we don’t kill women, but you must convert to Islam, read the Quran and cover yourself,” she recalled.

That inconvenient truth has been flushed down the memory hole, replaced with this fabrication:

Sigolène Vinson, a freelance journalist who had come in that morning to take part in the meeting, said that when the shooting started, she thought she would be killed.

Ms. Vinson said in an interview that she dropped to the floor and crawled down the hall to hide behind a partition, but one of the gunmen spotted her and grabbed her by the arm, pointing his gun at her head. Instead of pulling the trigger, though, he told her she would not be killed because she was a woman.

“Don’t be afraid, calm down, I won’t kill you,” the gunman told her in a steady voice, with a calm look in his eyes, she recalled. “You are a woman. But think about what you’re doing. It’s not right.”

Apparently nobody at Pravda-on-the-Hudson has figured out that the Internet is forever, and that their fecklessness would be discovered and held up for the ridicule it deserves…either that, or they just don’t care.

We’re Number Two!

Let me guess…these cops were “acting stupidly:”

DOMESTIC TERRORISM: Two NYPD Officers Murdered In Apparent Ferguson/Eric Garner “Revenge” Killing

Two NYPD officers sitting in their squad car after a counterterrorism drill were executed in a hail of gunfire this afternoon by a young African-American male assassin apparently radicalized on the hate spewed forth from Ferguson and Eric Garner activists, the mainstream media, and Democrat politicians.

The NY Post reports:

Two uniformed NYPD officers were shot dead — execution style — as they sat in their marked police car on a Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, street corner.

According to preliminary reports, both officers were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill when they were shot point-blank by a single gunman who approached their car at the corner of Myrtle and Tompkins avenues.

Justice served

If New York has a law pertaining to the particular abuse of power that Nevada calls “oppression under color of office,” criminal charges need to be filed against the cops and prosecutors involved in this incident pour encourager les autres. Given that this is New York, though, which sees fit to elect such defenders of freedom as Andrew Cuomo and Bill DeBlasio, though, what are the odds of that happening?

‘You are a ‘Teabagger!” Long Island Woman Receives $1.12 Million For False Prosecution

A Long Island federal jury rewarded Nancy Genovese, 58, a mother of three, $1.12 million in compensatory damages after being arrested in 2009 for attempting to photograph a helicopter at a Air National Guard base in the Hamptons. Genovese intended to use the photo on a “Support the Troops” website; she was arrested for trespass and insulted as a “Teabagger.”

From The New York Post:

Southhampton cops searched her and found a legally owned rifle that she was transporting from a nearby rifle range. She contends a deputy sheriff arrived on the scene later and said to her, “I bet you are one of those Tea Party people.” When Genovese said she’s gone to Tea Party rallies, he allegedly said, “You’re a real right-winger, aren’t you?” and “You are a ‘Teabagger’” and then added that she’d be arrested for terrorism to make an example of other “right wingers.”

“What they took from this woman cannot be measured in money,” said her lawyer Frederick Brewington.“There is no reason to treat another human the way they treated her.”
