I have wanted to write about this subject for the last few days. However, because of a freak storm that tore through our area and left our house with “brown out power” for the last few days, I have not been able to do it.
The purpose of this article is NOT to justify the fact that Richard Poplawski killed in cold blood three Pittsburgh, Pa. police officers; no one in their right frame of mind would ever attempt do that; not even me. However, it will attempt to explain why; and do it without using the spin of the liberal financed, controlled cooperate media.
The cold hard truth is that White Nationalism played no direct part in the actions of Richard Poplawski. Despite what the liberal media might want to try to report. I say this, because of a snippet in this article by the Pittsburg Star Tribune:
Poplawski grew up with an alcoholic, deadbeat grandfather, who kept a cache of guns and liked to play Russian roulette with his wife, Catherine Scott, relatives recalled during the trial. They said Poplawski’s father, also named Richard, abandoned his son at a young age. Margaret Poplawski was alcoholic, suicidal and displayed little affection for her only son, who called her “Maggie,” they said.
While deliberating on whether he should receive the death penalty or life in prison without chance of parole, the jury found two mitigating factors — reasons to show mercy — for Poplawski, according to the verdict slip: that he had no prior convictions and that there was testimony demonstrating a dysfunctional and unstable family life with violence.
The aggravating factors — the victims were police officers and Poplawski risked injury to others — outweighed them though, the jury found in sentencing him to death.
“Clearly, there’s no excuse or rationale for killing a police officer,” said Tony Gaskew, assistant professor of criminal justice at the University of Pittsburgh’s Bradford campus.
“There was a triggering mechanism,” he said. “It may have been a combination of a mental or psychological condition, coupled with a less-than-favorable family environment, these white supremacist beliefs and maybe issues with authority and the police. Somewhere in there was a triggering mechanism, but there was no rationale for what he did.
There it is, the real reason Richard Poplawski murdered those three police officers. All the rest of that nonsense by the Star Tribune is liberal stupidity and feckless conjecture by people who are supposedly trained to find why suspects do what they do. The man’s grandfather was a crazy man, and deadbeat, his mother showed no love for the boy and his daddy abandoned him. In short, the man’s home life was a wreck and it drove him to do what he did. Sorry, but the completely stupid argument that White Nationalism played a role in the actions of this man, is simply ludicrous. This man was going to do what he did; no matter what name he happened to do it in. The White Nationalism was simply a mechanism for his paranoia of the Government and yes, of minorities; it did not tell him to pull the trigger of that gun. Richard Poplawski and Richard Poplawski alone made the decision to kill, not Stormfront.org or anyone else associated with White Nationalism.
This is why, that as a born-again Christian; I believe that a strong family presence in the life of a child is paramount. I had one growing up and I believe that this is why I never was in trouble with the law. My parents were there for me — all the time. Now, to be clear, my parents were not of the “Pew Jumping,” “Bible-Thumping,” “In Church every Sunday “stripe. In fact, I was allowed to make my own decisions about how I wished to interact with religion. However, my mother flatly refused to allow me to “Run Wild” as the liberal child psychologists believed that she should have. I believe that is why I am here today, to be able to do the one thing that I love most; and that is to be a writer.
In closing: Let me say this; the only thing more morbidly sad, tragic and sickening, besides the murder of the three law enforcement officers who were simply doing their jobs. That is the fact that the liberal media insists on laying blame of those three horrible murders at the feet of those who would never justify, in a million years, anything of the sort. When, in fact, the person of who should be actually blamed is one person and one person alone —- Richard Poplawski.
