Daughter of cyclist murdered by “teens” tells people not to draw obvious conclusions
Total betrayal in the total state
On the morning of August 14, 2023, retired police chief Andreas Rene Probst was going for a bike ride in suburban Las Vegas. Two teenagers, both non-white, who had been stealing cars and hitting people all that morning, approached Probst from behind in the third vehicle they had stolen that day. As they pulled up behind Probst, one of them exclaimed “Hit his ass,” giggling as he filmed the vehicle approaching the helpless victim. The car impacted Probst at full speed. He died on the scene.
The story was quickly covered up in the usual way. At first the killing was described in the press as a “bike crash.” Although the pair were quickly identified, only the driver was charged initially. Later, as outrage began to built, this description was changed to a “hit-and-run.” Finally, after video of the casual and cold-blooded murder went viral on Twitter (including commentary from Elon Musk), the story broke into nationwide news and both killers were charged.
Then, something strange happened. Probst’s family members held a press conference with local authorities to state that the murder was the result of “decayed family values” and “the strong effect that social media has on our youth.”
His daughter continued:
We as a family in no way feel that Andy’s murder was based on race or profession. It was a random act of violence. We ask you to not politicize or use Andy’s murder to fuel political agendas or to create cultural wars.
This statement acts as though this murder happened in isolation. Rather, Probst’s murder was part of a larger jump in crime following the George Floyd riots of 2020. From 2019 to 2020, the murder rate increased 30% in a single year. This is the largest single-year increase in the murder rate in about a century. Other violent crime has almost certainly risen substantially as well. This increase, however, is difficult to track as many law enforcement agencies are transparently manipulating statistics, if they bother to publicly report them at all.
The crime increase was due to a single narrative that spread throughout the United States in 2020: Black people are unfairly persecuted and targeted by police racism. The criminal justice system must be fundamentally changed in order to remedy this systemic injustice.
The video of Probst’s murder, like many videos of totally arbitrary murder and other brazen crimes committed by black people that have gone viral in the last few years, shows this narrative to be a lie. The teenagers who committed this murder don’t seem to be afraid of police or prosecutors. They don’t seem to be afraid of any consequences at all for their behavior.
If the video of them killing that old man for no reason had not gone viral, it’s likely that the cameraman would have never been charged and that the driver would have had his charges reduced to nothing. It’s not guaranteed that the video would have gone viral. If you search for raw footage of the murder on Youtube, you can’t find it. It’s likely being actively scrubbed by moderators.
In the most striking statistic, the number of arrests in the US dropped by 35% from the year 2020 to 2021. Police stopped intervening in crimes because if a black person resists arrest, the police officer who attempts to restrain him risks going to jail for 400 years and being subjected to a media lynch mob led by the federal government and America’s well-funded pro-crime lobby. Serious charges are routinely dropped to nothing by progressive prosecutors, even when the perpetrator is unambiguously guilty.
The crime wave Americans are experiencing is not attributable to a lack of “family values” or the role of social media. Rather it’s the result of deliberate public policy changes implemented by the ruling political party, which center around not arresting black people for committing crimes, and not punishing them for committing crimes if they are arrested.
Probst’s family’s statement is part of a larger trend where families of white victims of crimes will turn around and demand that the public not notice the larger implications of these crimes. Perhaps the most infamous case of this was the father of Mollie Tibbitts, a young girl who was brutally raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant, publicly decrying “racism” after anti-immigration activists seized upon the case. Hispanics, he said, were “Iowans with better food.”
In late 2022, a white Georgia high school athlete named Elijah DeWitt was shot to death in a Dave and Busters parking lot by two black teenagers. Almost immediately afterwards, DeWitt’s father filmed a video where he forgave the killers, saying “You know, we don’t know the kids. We don’t know their backgrounds. We don’t know their story. They’re forgiven from me.” Rather than showing repentance, both of the black teenagers he was talking about, who were apparently attempting to rob DeWitt at the time of the shooting, have pled “Not Guilty.” Their trials still haven’t begun.
These performances from victims’ families are part of a new American value system that is literally retarded: It reflects stunted growth and development. Here, it seems as though the most basic instincts, the desire for real justice after a wrong is committed against a family member, have been drilled out of white people by decades of over-the-top propaganda. People know what to say, and when to say it. It seems like they’re reciting a script because they are.
I don’t think that these family members of the victims are particularly abnormal. Rather, they’re just acting on the messages they inundated with by media, schools, churches, and peers for decades. I’m sure they feel that their relative being murdered is bad, but they think that acknowledging the obviously racially-charged implications of the murder is worse.
As Stolypin illustrated in ending the widespread violence that followed the 1905 Revolution in Russia, the only way to break the trance of casual mass violence as a social phenomenon is to introduce immediate and severe consequences for the perpetrators. The illusion that enables this behavior must be shattered by a dispassionate state response: rapid arrests, trials, and executions for people who are unambiguously guilty.
The issue needs to be de-intellectualized in the minds of both the criminals and the public. It should not be up for debate whether or not you should suffer extreme and immediate consequences for casual murder, regardless of who you are or why you did it. People who do this sort of thing should know that the only place they’re going to end up is a courtroom being found guilty and sentenced to death a few weeks later.
Family members who obfuscate these issues really need to be shamed. Public officials should get in on it. It’s not very nice to do this to a grieving person. Obviously, there’s no elegant way to handle this sort of tragedy. However, these problems will never get solved until there is some kind of consequence for this behavior, which is really bad. Not only are they betraying the memory of their dead relative by obstructing real justice, they’re betraying the community at large by minimizing the issue. In order to prevent future crimes, these obvious trends have to be recognized so that a solution can be crafted. If people keep burying their heads in the sand, these tragedies will keep happening over and over again.
this was posted on twitter earlier today by some bros in our sphere but it is highly likely that the DoJ has a specific team to control the narrative on these types of incidents. https://www.justice.gov/crs is the link to the relevant unit. I wonder what a FOIA request would dredge up regarding past incidents.
Scott Greer has written on this before. It's particularly interesting to contrast the immediate forgiveness white victims show black perpetrators to the demands for justice and vengeance white victims show white perpetrators.
