Who is Jacob Blake?
(The Post Millennial) According to this article in USA Today fact-checking Blake’s history, he was “charged July 6 with felony third-degree sexual assault and misdemeanor trespassing and disorderly conduct. All three offenses carried a penalty enhancer because they were connected to domestic abuse.”
“The charges — which have not gone to trial — stem from a May 3 incident in Kenosha County. A woman Blake knew told police he came into her house about 6 a.m., sexually assaulted her and then took a debit card and car keys before fleeing in her vehicle, according to a criminal complaint.”
He had been sexually assaulting her for years. But, hey, he’s now a darling of the unhinged left, so we get this from Mother Jones
“Change Y’all Lives Out Thereâ€: Watch Jacob Blake’s Powerful Message From His Hospital Bed
It’s been two weeks since Jacob Blake was shot in the back by Kenosha, Wisconsin, police officer Rusten Sheskey, reinvigorating an uprising against police brutality and racism that has swept the country since the death of George Floyd in early summer. On Saturday, Blake spoke about the fragility of life from the hospital bed where he remains paralyzed from the waist down.
“I just want to say, man, to all the young cats out there and even the older ones, older than me, there’s a lot more life to live,†he said in a video posted on Twitter by his lawyer, Ben Crump. “Your life and not only just your life, your legs—something that you need to move around and move forward in life—can be taken from you like this,†he snapped his fingers.
Blake described the pain he now experiences every time he breathes, sleeps, eats, and moves around. “Twenty-four hours, every 24 hours, it’s pain,†he said. But he ended his message with a call for change and action. “Please, I’m telling you, change y’all lives out there. We can stick together, make some money, make everything easier for our people because there’s so much time that’s been wasted.â€
Yes, a powerful message, right? Are we supposed to take advice from people who sexually assault women now? Is that now the standard? Back to the first article from The Post Millennial, headlined
Kamala Harris’ pride in Jacob Blake betrays MeToo
…
Blake is recovering from the gunshot wounds he sustained, but that hasn’t stopped the mainstream media and Democrat politicians from heralding Blake a hero. Senator Kamala Harris spoke to Blake via phone on Monday and, according to a statement released about the call, told him she was “proud” of him.
PROUD of him? He’s accused of breaking into a sleeping woman’s house, sexually assaulting her, humiliating her & later returning to harass her. Then the cops she called for help say he resisted arrest, assaulted them & went for his knife. How about a word for his victim, Senator? https://t.co/IryYbPAuf6

The article continues
Kelly has good reason to be annoyed. The Vice Presidential hopeful and the mainstream media have been gushing about Blake meanwhile omitting or burying his alleged criminal misconduct toward women. Blake’s history does not mean he deserved to get shot or somehow earned a lengthy hospital recovery, but does provide additional context into why law enforcement would have been quick to draw their weapons in the middle of an altercation with this particular man.
The same people who ignore this are the same people who have been lecturing the public, especially conservatives, on the importance of women’s safety at work or out on dates, and encouraged the women of the “MeToo†women to stand up and label the misogynist men of the world who would dare assault–or even touch–them. That those two things, assault and flirting, became conflated is no accident–or at least it’s a result of sloppy messaging–and it quickly turned the entire thing on its head where it remains, unable to right itself, recover, or become meaningful to men or women once more.
Hey, it’s just like so many in Hollywood ignoring all the poor conduct towards women, like Democrats ignoring all the allegations of sexual impropriety against Joe Biden. Heck, Kamala Harris suddenly not concerned with Biden after slamming him for those allegations.
