Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds, lets them have it:
PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO HOLD THE MORAL HIGH GROUND ABUSE A GRIEVING DAUGHTER: Teenage daughter of one of two Texas cops shot dead in ambush deletes emotional tribute to her ‘hero’ father after backlash for using #bluelivesmatter in the post.
The teenage daughter of a Texas cop killed in an ambush over the weekend was slammed by critics online after posting a moving tribute to her father that included the hashtag #bluelivesmatter.
Savannah Chavez, the grieving daughter of Officer Ismael Chavez, 39 – one of two cops fatally gunned down in McAllen on Saturday – uploaded the post just hours after her father’s death.
‘Words cannot describe the pain I’m in, but I’m glad my dad is at peace. You were an amazing man and anyone who ever came across you knew that,’ Savannah had written. ‘I’m going to miss you so much. You died doing what you loved most, you died a hero. I love you daddy, see you soon. #bluelivesmatter’
But within minutes, the 18-year-old began receiving messages of contempt from people online criticizing her for using a ‘racist’ hashtag – causing her to delete the post all together.
‘Being a cop is a choice. Lmao and last time I checked, blue people don’t exist. Maybe educate yourself?’ one person replied.
‘Blue lives matter was literally created in response to and to undermine black lives matter. There’s no other connotation unfortunately,’ added another.
A third person wrote to Savannah insisting, ‘Blue lives matter was literally created in response to and to undermine black lives matter. There’s no other connotation unfortunately.’
‘I am so sorry for your loss but you didn’t have to use a racist hashtag,’ added another, who later identified herself as a high school student.
Others even tweeted Savannah the names of people killed by police officers in other areas of the country.
Don’t worry folks, your fame isn’t over. Donald Trump will be quoting your tweets between now and the election. When he mentions your names, you’ll complain about being “bullied.” But you bullied a teenager with a murdered dad, and no amount of sloganeering will change that.
Go here to read the rest. Any people who would do that to a grieving kid who has just lost her Dad have me as an eternal enemy. Go here to learn more about her Dad.
Despicable. Hate fillied language quickly emerges from BLM supporters showing their souls are ruled by the devil. The good part is that Trump will use this as an example of typical Democrat attitudes.
When this all started the question arose, what do they want. So far, the answer is to defund the police and turn America into a socialist cesspool. Obviously, these aren’t people who think things through. None are so blind as those who refuse to see. Not seeing the pain of a loving daughter who just lost her father to the mob is simply blind, just like pretending unborn babies aren’t human beings. Their kind of blindness takes effort.
What we’ve learned in the last five years is that the social nexus which has the Democratic Party as its electoral vehicle is chock-a-block with people who are frankly malevolent.
Was that theology professor at Creighton one of the people who trashed her father?
It’s getting more difficult for me to avoid using the word “hate” for the little sociopaths who mouth this marxist crap.
Hate is never a good thing, but the Left is laying in a store for themselves of it.
@Dale & @Don – it’s something Jordan Peterson has talked about before. Everyone thinks compassion is awesome and all.
But mother bears are filled with compassion towards their cubs.
What does that mean for you who are in between her and them?
We are witnessing the weaponization of compassion and righteousness.
Here’s a JBP clip I was thinking of.

In reading the story on the link provided, the young lady was not his biological father; the officer was unmarried and didn’t have children. But he helped to raise her and she loved him like the father she evidently did not have. He sounds like a remarkable man. May God grant rest to his soul and that of the other officer who was killed. May God grant comfort to their families.
The hatred stirred up by her tribute is mind boggling to me. What has become of this country? May God have mercy on us all.
What has become of this country?
An entire forest has been cut down, pulped and made into paper upon which lakefuls of ink have been used to print they myraid explanations of where it all started going wrong.
Would you like me to send you a bibliography?
