Red face LMAO - Woman Loses Job After Thought Crime Allegations

Yeah, I know I'm an insensitive hateful mean-spirited example of White Evil (TM), and a conservative redneck to boot. But regardless of my personal defects, I couldn't help but laugh at the huge dose of reality that was dealt out to this young lady.

You just can't make stuff like this up....

Summary of events:
- Starry eyed young White gal goes to college, majors in English with minor in "African American Studies" , writes honors thesis on civil rights movement

- Takes job in propaganda industry ("Plum TV")

- Procures fashionably cute little sandwich dog (a pug)

- Lugs the pug on the sub, where it gets sick from some pug bug

- Commits grievous sin of taking pug out of its dog carrier, whereupon it barfs all over her

- Sprints off the subway, covered with pug puke and anxious to get to fresh air

- With incredible bad luck, happens to run into New York's ONLY Hasidic policeman (Oy vey!), who manhandles her for her crime and gives her a dose of sexist reality. Bystanders document her manhandling.

- Anonymous witness raises allegation of HATE CRIME! Starry eyed wench is accused of anti-Semitism!

- Brain locked up in terror and shock at the thought she might be perceived as hateful, the starry eyed wench utters a feeble dissembling rebuttal

- Her rebuttal is not vigorous enough to suit the overlords at the propaganda mill (Plum TV), who rightly realize it could result in the much feared phenomena of BAD PUBLICITY

- Result: Starry eyed wench is fired and thrown out of the Plum TV building like a sick pug is ejected from a subway train

- Starry eyed wench weepingly appeals to the cold-hearted court of public opinion "But I couldn't be a racist anti-Semite, I wrote about civil rights!"



Arrested Pug Owner Fired Over Anti-Semitic Allegation - Gothamist

Quote:
An Open Letter: How I Got Slandered By the New York Post & NYPD

"On Monday, June 30, I was wrongfully arrested and physically abused by the NYPD. The arresting officer who manhandled happens to have been the first Hasidic cop on a force of more than 30,000.

In the days that followed the incident, which became well-publicized, because bystanders photographed the arrest and called the "police" on account of the improper behavior of the arresting officer, and because I had the courage to defend my rights and resisted abuse with the support of these witnesses, the situation has become an unimaginable nightmare for me.

I have been falsely accused of being a bigot by the New York Post in an act of the most irresponsible journalism I have ever experienced, and now I have been fired from a job I loved and was great at on account of these vicious accusations and my alleged failure to respond "vigorously enough" to them.

Here is what happened:

Two days after my arrest the New York Post came out with a vicious article in which anti-Semitic remarks were attributed to me by an alleged witness.

Either the Post fabricated the existence of this witness, who despite an exerted effort by both journalists at Gothamist and myself has never been located, or they fabricated her remarks.

There were witnesses at the scene and these witnesses did not hear me make any anti-Semitic remarks and specifically did not recall the existence of the Post's alleged witness. I do not believe that this witness was at the scene nor did any witness hear me make antisemitic remarks.

The truth is that smearing the victim is a classic police technique to cover up abuse and protect the arresting officer.

I am not a bigot, and accusations of bigotry are so absurd that I did not think it even necessary to respond to them.

My "suspension" and now my firing requires that I make things clear to the public.

During the course of my arrest, I did not:

* Utter the words "Jewish" or "Jew."
* I did not say, "You Jews think you own the world."
* I did not use the phrase "You ****ing Jews . . . "
* I did not say anything that any person, reasonable or not, could have interpreted to mean any reference whatsoever to the obvious religion of the cop who was manhandling me.

These anti-Semitic comments printed by the New York Post never crossed my lips on the day I was wrongfully arrested and physically abused. And, to be even more succinct, those words and statements have NEVER crossed my lips on any other day in my life. EVER.

I believe that ultimately the evidence will come out that the police were involved in the Post's smear job of me, which was an effort to cover up police misconduct.

Under these circumstances it is important that you know who I am:

My academic background at George Mason University involved an undergraduate degree in English with a minor in African American studies that culminated in an honors thesis about the civil rights movement. My graduate studies and masters degrees, I focused my coursework on the history of immigrants, gay, lesbian, black, hispanic, disabled and other oppressed people. My masters thesis and subsequent doctoral dissertation focused on gender discrimination and women's rights in the workplace. Indeed, I note that my principal doctoral advisors were all Jewish.

I have devoted my adult life to studying and supporting the civil rights of minorities.


To smear me as an anti-Semite is both cowardly and a disgrace and victimizes me once again. I expected more from a community to whom I have devoted my best efforts."
