View Full Version : O’Malley apologizes for telling protesters ‘all lives matter’

O'Malley was booed by a democratic crowd (https://www.yahoo.com/politics/omalley-apologizes-for-telling-protesters-all-124506777521.html) for saying that all lives matter. The crowd, its seems, wanted him to stick with black lives matter.


Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley apologized Saturday for saying “all lives matter” after he was interrupted by protesters chanting “black lives matter” at a Netroots Nation conference (http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/18/politics/bernie-sanders-netroots-nation-black-lives-matter/index.html), a gathering of liberal activists, in Phoenix.

“That was a mistake on my part, and I meant no disrespect,” O’Malley said in an online interview after the event (http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/18/politics/martin-omalley-all-lives-matter/). “I did not mean to be insensitive in any way or communicate that I did not understand the tremendous passion, commitment and feeling and depth of feeling that all of us should be attaching to this issue.”


O’Malley and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders were taking part in a presidential town hall (http://www.netrootsnation.org/nn15/?nn-agenda-filter-date=2015-07-18&nn-agenda-filter-type=&nn-agenda-filter-room=&nn-agenda-filter-tag=&nn-agenda-filter-timing=&nn-agenda-filter-orderby=chron) when several dozen protesters interrupted the session, demanding the Democratic candidates address recent cases of brutality against African-Americans by white police officers.


“Black lives matter, white lives matter,” O’Malley responded. “All lives matter.”

That is a ridiculous attempt to play on emotion. All it does is display a great deal of ignorance and malice on your part. Most law enforcement gunfights last less than 2.5 seconds. That is the time from the moment the threat manifests to the time somebody is laying on the ground dead or wounded. In the Rice case, a very bad call was made and a tragedy occurred, but to suggest it happened because Rice's life didn't matter and the Police fired just because they could is not only irresponsible, it is just downright disgusting. Your attempt to use the death of that young boy as a tool to further your own personal agenda makes you beneath contempt.

People suggested real solutions such as ending the militarization of the police. That would be a concrete step to help police / community relations as opposed to the symbolic gesture of moving a flag.

"It was important that I be at Netroots Nation this weekend, and I am grateful I was a part of the important conversation about ‪#‎blacklivesmatter‬—a conversation that must not end with this conference. I am already listening to and speaking with leaders from this movement, and I will continue to do so throughout my candidacy to ensure those voices and needs help shape my criminal justice reform package to make it as comprehensive and effective as possible. -O'M"

From a person who has seen alot of things up front and personal. Im going to tell you that I never noticed a difference in grief when a mother lost a child, race, ethnicity just doesnt matter.

I never saw a difference with a victim, they are all the same. Families all grieve, kids grieve for loss of a parent its all the same.

Tamir Rice dieing is an awful trajedy. Someone also has to tell cigar that I might have shot him myself had I been responding to a call and saw what I believed to be a gun. You cant tell a toy from real at a distance.
Of course Tamirs Life Matters and it was sad that he was shot the way he was.

There was a white teen shot by a white cop many years ago, the officer was responding to a call about a man that was aiming with a rifle out of his window. Right in front of that same building a teen was has a replica of a rifle colored black that was a water pistol. The cop pulled up and shot him thinking it was the guy with the rifle. Sad things happen in very sad ways. Neither Tamirs case or this one was intentional, that doesnt ease the pain of the family or take away that young lives were lost.

Obviously the black people on the crowd think that black people deserve a protective bubble around them when they engage in stupid or illegal activity.

Blacks have a chip on their shoulder over slavery and Jim crow that didn't go away when Obumer was elected president the way guilt ridden white libs expected.
