In The Rain

Tuesday, June 30, 2020
Despite a downpour which moved through, around 18 people participated in another protest held at the Putnam County Courthouse late Saturday morning. One of them holds up a Black Lives Matter sign.

Meanwhile, organizer Kayce Kean makes the “Hands Up! Don’t Shoot!” gesture. Though this protest was to be the last in a series held in June, another one is planned for the Fourth of July next Saturday.

  • Enough is enough. Maybe they should think about supporting their police department. Pathetic.

    Queen,

    What exactly is pathetic? That they have recognized that there needs to be change or that they are pushing for the change or that they are annoying your racist self?

    -- Posted by RSOTS on Tue, Jun 30, 2020, at 1:13 PM
  • They are VERY supportive of the local police; calling attention to an issue for the entire country is not pathetic.

    Im here! LOL (Much to the dismay of RSOTS, I am sure...)

    While Queen53 and I have had our differences, I have to come to her defense on this one b/c... well, RSOTS.

    RSOTS is claiming that Queen53 is a racist even though she said absolutely nothing about race.

    Now, maybe RSOTS is thinking "oh, but there is implied racism!"...which may or may not be true.

    But since we can't really read Queen's mind, and she didn't elaborate much, all we really know is that she is tired of the protests and their obvious anti-police rhetoric. (I would imagine that black cops are just as supported as white cops, as Latin-x cops, Asian cops, or grey-alien cops should they decide to show themselves to the public.)

    And we KNOW that BLACK LIVES MATTER is a political organ that is based on Marxist ideology and whose goals include defunding police departments (including disbanding police departments). And we KNOW that BLACK LIVES MATTER doesn't really care about "black lives" as is evidenced by the number of black children killed by abortion perpetrated by a black-hating eugenicist-founded organization or the number of senseless deaths due to black-on-black crime.

    How do we know this? B/c they (BLM proper, including one of the founders) have stated these things, and we see the evidence of it in the very things that BLACK LIVES MATTER supports - which is the Democrat party (who gets financial donations from BLM) and in turn creates the policies and gives support and cover to organizations (like Margie Sanger's legacy of evil) that help destroy black families and black lives.

    So, RSOTS, why do you feel it necessary to automatically call Queen53 a racist simply b/c she is tired of the anti-cop rhetoric?

    Do you know Queen53? You seem to make a few assumptions about her and her race...

    Maybe it is you who are racist, RSOTS? Maybe you are the one who sees everything as a matter of race and cannot imagine that a black woman could disagree with BLACK LIVES MATTER so give it no consideration in your condemnation of Queen53... you automatically assume she is white and convict her for it.

    I don't know - nor do I care - if Queen53 is black, white, yellow, brown, or purple.

    She has just as much right to give her opinion (that these protests are pathetic) as anyone else.

    But of course a bigot - a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions - might think differently.

  • I support all my police departments! BLM organization on the other hand wants to defund police. How is that support?

    The co founders of BLM describe themselves as trained Marxists! I don't even think most of these people know what they're protesting! You can't have it both ways.

  • For everyone's information I am not a racist. However, the majority of the BLM are mainly interested in blaming white people because they were slaves, and their way to get back is to destroy property, loot, burn and try to cause all the trouble they can. Can't we just say "All Lives Matter."? Blue Lives Matter is also very important. The media and BLM have blamed everything on them. Does anyone know how many police officers in Indianapolis have been killed by a black person; well, there are plenty. But you don't see anyone protesting that. But, after all, this is Greencastle.

  • All this recent violence is doing is dividing us further. I’d rather sit with my black, brown, and any other color brothers and sisters and talk like humans, than behave like animals.

    Police absolutely need reformed. We should not do something silly like get rid of them. If that happens, vigilantism will reign. Defund? Partially, yes. Police budgets are over 50% of many large city budgets. That’s far too high. Reduce those huge budgets. There are better options besides police and prisons for every little offense. Reserve prison for the violent felons and stop making petty little laws for every minor offense.

    I for one was proud when our sheriff gave back the military equipment that was given to his department, and cleaned up some of our bad actors along with the US attorney. I hope our next sheriff carries on that legacy.

  • I see it as we have people asking for help. And they are not getting the help they need or want.. So pretty much the only way to try to solve it is to protest. So people and government would listen. But nobody is listening or helping, Is it because we are racists? If not racist where is the humanity and hospitality for people in need. We live in an evil world.

    Queen, almost every racist that I've ever met starts with the "I'm not racist, but" or "I'm not racist, I had a black friend in college".

    You stating that "Enough is Enough", if that isn't racism then what is it? What is enough? That black lives don't matter? That you just need them to be quiet now? That you've heard enough of their plight and you don't care? That it doesn't affect you so therefore isn't a problem?

    Refusing to acknowledge that Black Lives Matter is in itself racism. It's you not allowing that truth to be equal with the truths you hold. It's not allowing a black live to be equal to the blue live that you say matters.

    Look at it this way. Did you believe "Boston Strong" after the marathon bombing or were you screaming "All Cities Strong"? Where you okay with "Stand with Vegas" after the mass shooting or did you need it to be "Stand with Everywhere"? Do you counter "Breast Cancer" posts with "Well What About Colon Cancer"?

    Saying that Black Lives Matter is not an either/or proclamation. When there is a crisis as Americans we have always rallied around that particular group/city/cause. It does not diminish any other group/city/cause, it just brings awareness and support to where it is needed.

    The inability to say that Black Lives Matter is either because you harbor racism that you might not even be aware of or you are just unaware of what is really happening in the world outside of Putnam County.

    I hope it's the latter because true change comes when people like you start self reflecting and realizing that by refusing to help our fellow brothers and sisters that we are more of the problem than the solution.

  • Greencastle is a friendly city , I have lived here 53 years and frankly the only racial tension I have seen is usually created. Yes there are tensions but normally that is between the radical few and it rarely surfaces in everyday life, normally it shows itself with the presence of liquor . The BLM should move to inter city Indianapolis and try to get the Blacks to stop killing each other. The Banner may remove this post but here in Greencastle we have had a couple of domestic deaths that were inter racial and we are letting the police and courts handle these- no vandalism, no looting, no assaulting each other or the police. The posters should go where the problem is- Indianapolis-Gary- East Chicago - Michigan City

    I am very happy to see that most people on here have some common sense...RSOTS just has to be RSOTS and double down on his RSOTS-ism.

    But that's okay too. We've all got someone in our lives like that. You deal with it.

    Techphcy - I too support looking at police department budgets and see if there are places to cut or streamline.

    And I am definitely not a fan of the militarization of police.

    And yes, there probably are some policies that need to be looked at as well.

    And qualified immunity needs to be reconsidered and not made a blanket of protection for every misdeed.

  • I'm going to share some history I learned that people might not know, but is old news to some, about our Putnam County Prosecutor, Tim Bookwalter!

    Apparently, he ran for state attorney general back in 1992.

    What's interesting is that the Republican candidate for Indiana governor that year, a man named Linley Pearson, reportedly told the lieutenant governor nominee Robert Green that he would quit the election if Tim Bookwalter became the Republican attorney general candidate. Bookwalter won the nomination, despite Pearson's dislike of him. Pearson did not deny that he threatened to resign if Bookwalter won the nomination, then issued a statement that he would stick with the election for governor. However, he refused to endorse Bookwalter's election.

    This is from an AP report found at www.nwitimes.com.

    But what is even more interesting is what happened after that, during Bookwalter's campaign. Here is an excerpt from the book Politics for Dummies by Ann M. Delaney, describing what happened during that 1992 campaign for Indiana state attorney general:

    "Democrats nominated Pamela Carter, a well qualified, 1st time candidate who happened to be African American. Republicans nominated a white male candidate named Timothy Bookwalter. Bookwalter challenged Carter to a debate in all 92 Indiana counties, a time-consuming and ineffective campaign tactic. Carter refused to do 92 debates, so Bookwalter had two life-size cardboard images of Carter created, and he took them to as many of the 92 county courthouses as he could. He would then appear to debate the cardboard cutout, In the hope that the photograph of him and the cutout, which revealed Mrs. Carter's race, would appear in the local newspaper.

    Bookwalter claimed that Carter's refusal made the cutouts necessary. When asked by a reporter why two cutouts were necessary, Bookwalter replied, "In case one fades." The Bookwalter campaign achieved one goal: By election day, most voters realized that Carter was African American. But the strategy backfired on Bookwalter. Voters saw the move as an overt appeal to racial prejudice and elected Carter."

    I don't know if Bookwalter ever publicly talked about what he did during his campaign, or if he apologized. At the very least, he found out that being openly racist is not effective at winning an election for Indiana attorney general.

    This story about Bookwalter's cardboard cutouts and his "in case one fades" comment is even more compelling and relevant if you consider that just a few months prior to his campaign, in April and May of 1992, were the Rodney King riots, which were sparked right after the public learned that the police involved in that excessive force "beating" incident of Rodney King, an African American man, were acquitted of any wrongdoing.

    But I think people should know this history about Bookwalter, because he is running again to be Putnam County prosecutor in this November's election.

  • Raker. I fail to see what any of this has to do with this articles and photos. Neither do I understand where you got all of your information as it was not from the site you mentioned. Sounds like you have a personal issue between you and Mr. Bookwalter.

    Raker - you are part of the problem.

    You are injecting race & racism into a conversation that it likely doesn't belong, and calling someone a racist simply b/c you dont like them or what they stand for.

    The idea of "debating" a cardboard cut-out is not new nor is it usually effective. Not b/c of either persons race, but b/c it is a gimmick and voters dont like gimmicks. That I am aware of, it worked well only in one speech at the RNC w/Clint Eastwood and he was talking to an empty chair to represent Obama. (And no, not b/c he was black.)

    The "cardboard cut-out" and "empty chair" is along the lines of "empty suit" and other euphemisms for people that are are devoid of substance, usually in the matters of experience or policy.

    I noticed that one thing you didn't mention that was probably much more relevant than your race-baiting with the Rodney King stuff... the Democratic nominee for governor at that time was incumbent(!!) Evan Bayh who was very popular among many Hoosiers who were not terribly political, and even some Republicans.

    The Attorney General is almost always voted in with the Governor candidate from the same party.

    So it is very likely that the reason that Pamela Carter won - regardless of her color - is that she was the Democratic nominee.

    If you wish to call out Bookwalter - and I have no problem with that - then at least do it honestly. Call him out on his asset forfeiture shenanigans, or his abuse of discretion to prosecute cases to increase his chances of re-election, or the way he runs his office.

    But don't call someone a racist based on your perception without substantial proof - which you don't have.

    It just makes you look small.

  • DPR:

    RSOTS always plays the devil's advocate. It wouldn't matter if you said the grass was green, it would become a debate. It gives truth to being "triggered". I have zero problem with other people's opinions, but sometimes repetition becomes an annoying sound. When I have an issue I find a way to get to the source. Nothing would be accomplished if I stood in the yard, held a sign, and chanted. Sure, Black Lives Matter, but quit standing there yelling about it and if you're truly that passionate about something participate in something that you know would have an impact, such as, writing letters to officials to get their support for reform. Law makers can get things moving. Cardboard signs do not.

    Raker - considering I have known Mr. Bookwalter for a number of years on a peripheral basis, and knew him for several years on a professional/political basis (I am a former member of the Putnam County Republican Party), I would say that it was simply matter of referencing that photographs fade.

    I have never heard anything even slightly racist, racial, or baselessly derogatory towards any group of people as a group of people.

    I don't much care for the guy. I dislike several things about him, such as his attitude toward civil asset forfeiture.

    However, I am not going to simply make stuff up b/c I don't like him.

    Taking something said 30 years ago and then examining it from a biased point of view to find some kind of racial context is disingenuous.

    -- Posted by dreadpirateroberts on Thu, Jul 2, 2020, at 1:04 PM
  • Dreadpiratesroberts, everyone knows exactly why he used the word "fade" instead of some other word.

    Why would it fade, seriously. Maybe damaged?

    I would guess that he was trying to be funny with the reporter who quoted him and showed his hand too much.

    Btw I know I'm just a small guy over here like you said, but when you comment trolls starting piling on with your insults that's when I know I hit the mark, so thanks.

    -- Posted by Raker on Thu, Jul 2, 2020, at 1:57 PM
  • Raker-It sounds as if you are trying to find racism with regard to the "fading of cardboard cutouts" comment where it may or may not exist. To that, I would have to believe that you may be the one who is racist. I agree with dreadpirateroberts, as the only thought I had was that photos do fade and get worn with use!

    You define "racism/racist" on your terms so that anyone and anything you want will fit.

    I really couldn't care less if you called me a racist.

    You can call me any names you want...

    What you can't do - and it has been proven several times over - is argue against me in a logical or rational way.

  • I think you should consider treating others how you want to be treated rather than how they treat you. You soften walls at that point rather than building stronger ones.

    Plus, you allow others to see the difference in the characters in the conversation.

    This has nothing to do with you but I do believe these threads spell out many reasons why we are so splintered as a society. Not an all inclusive list but:

    anonymity provides a channel to say whatever with no consequences personally- reinforces lack of personal responsibility and the growth that comes with that.

    Also, a company doesn't want it to stop because it creates interest/ hits and is good for their business- profits over what is best for social fabric all hidden under the free speech banner which circles back to the responsibility that comes with that right.

    inability to find common ground- once we start calling each other names or going down the condemnation route, it becomes personal and no longer about the issue. Counter productive and creates a history that influences our next interaction, which usually isn't a continued, progressive, intelligent conversation of the issue.

    I am exhibiting that with this response. Instead of letting go, I am pounding my issue again. You will continue to be closed off to taking a different approach in your presentations and you have made no progress in influencing others thoughts. So, here we are, in the circle of name calling, stuck in mud, and building stronger walls.

  • Beg, I disagree with you and let me throw out another name that will upset you and others: narcissistic behavior.

    Your argument sounds like the manipulative ways narcissists try to shift blame on to their victims.

    People want to say and do hurtful, rude and dismissive things to people, until people get fed up and speak up which is a completely normal human behavior, and then it's "hey c'mon no need to be upset, you are being irrational, let's have a civil discussion." Which is only another manipulative way for people to avoid responsibility or actually doing anything.

    That's the truth. Countless discussions about these topics, and never a change. I'm not for burning buildings and that kind of thing, but I get it. Beg you sound to me like a guy who has alot of skeletons you want to keep hidden, the way you always defend every public official I comment about who I believe did something that is at the very least, questionable.

    I actually don't believe you can get people to change their evil ways, not really, and the professionals agree. 1 in a million maybe. You can only expose them and challenge them to the point until maybe they stop acting on their feelings, unless they are totally shameless like a DPR or Tucker Carlson type. I'm not trying to change your mind, I'm trying to help others who have been hurt.

    Some people truly have been victimized and want to stop evil from happening where we see it, or what narcissists call "virtue signaling."

    YOU, however, openly, called Queen53 a racist simply b/c she disagrees with your perception on a topic.

    So apparently its not just me ("but I will continue with DPR...") but anyone that doesn't stand on the same side as you.

    Now, please tell me again how virtuous you are?

    -- Posted by dreadpirateroberts on Mon, Jul 6, 2020, at 12:06 PM

    Raker - The term "narcissistic behavior" or "narcissistic personality" is nothing more than yet another catch-all phrase that has become all the rage to attack people these last few years. Can't call someone a racist or a bigot? Throw "narcissist" at them! If they argue, it only proves their narcissist tendencies.

    That is a clinical diagnosis, by the way...are you a trained psychologist/psychiatrist? (I'm gonna guess no.)

    It has also been around for a great many years (I remember reading about it in my psych class 30+ years ago) and yet only in the last year or so has it become such a phenomenon that it seems that a significant percentage of the population is so afflicted.

    Do you think its in the water?

    And this here statement by you - "maybe they stop acting on their feelings" - is probably one of the funniest things you have written! You and your fellow travelers are fueled by emotion.

    And just to clarify one more thing for you... "virtue signalling" is where people feel it necessary to show the world how virtuous they are (usually in regards to some social justice cause) so as to be accepted as part of the group.

    It has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to stop evil b/c you can do you part to stop evil without calling attention to yourself and showing the world how down for the cause you are. Just do the thing.

    -- Posted by dreadpirateroberts on Mon, Jul 6, 2020, at 12:21 PM
  • Dreadpirateroberts, someone who posts on social media or tells others about doing something that's a good thing, to call that "virtue signaling" and not sincere, so freaking what big deal! How would you even know? You don't.

    "Virtue signaling" is just a gimmick phrase to insult someone.

    And you can't truly compare this to calling someone's behavior racist, because everything doesn't equal everything else, they are two different and complex issues. Actually virtue signaling is simple: it's just an insult. I guess churches telling how they help people are virtue signaling to God?

    Face it dreadpirateroberts, what we are really arguing about is what's right and what's wrong, good vs evil. In your bizarro version of life, you always have some convoluted, dishonest explanation why doing the wrong thing is actually the right thing, and vise versa.

    You and others want to make rude, dismissive comments. Comments and actions that sound and look like you have a generalized negative opinion in some respect about a particular group or race, enough of feeling about it that you actually say it or act on it.

    Then when you get called out, instead of explaining yourself better and showing any remorse for misunderstsnding (if that's really even the case), you become offended and switch roles to become the one being attacked, in classic narcissistic style.

    And I actually predicted beforehand you would dismiss psychology and awareness about narcissistic behavior as fake news, because in bizarro world good is bad and bad is good.

    DPR, you can attack / insult, hide insults in fancy words. I really don'r mind as I don't think I'm near as sensitive to that as you are. However if you are going to reply to me at least get the facts correct. You said I " openly, called Queen53 a racist simply b/c she disagrees with your perception on a topic."

    That couldn't be further from the truth. I simply asked her to clarify her "Enough is Enough" statement regarding the protests (Which has never been answered which leads you to believe maybe I was correct?). Attack me all you want and write another book on here but at least don't stretch to try and validate your opinion.

  • RSOTS, I think what Queen53 said sounds like what someone who is prejudiced against African Americans would say, especially her follow-up comments. Then she left another negative comment about the new Depauw president being black. She says she's not racist, then says all the things you think a racist person would say.

    Raker -

    Have you always been at war with Eastasia?

    LOL.

    If it makes you feel any better (see what I did there?) - you do amuse me. Doublespeak and all.

    Yet DPR doesn't name call. Absolutely golden material here.

    Raker - I especially like this one:

    "She says she's not racist, then says all the things you think a racist person would say."

    You should probably contact Thinkpol... definitely sounds like thought crimes.

    Remember: Big Brother is watching you.

  • I guess Dreadpirateroberts thinks that unless somebody says "I'm a racist, white power!" then you can never say they act racist.

  • Dreadpirateroberts, I'd also like to here what you think I said that what doublespeak, because I don't think it's cute or funny for a grown man like you to be such a trouble-causing weasel, so please explain.

  • Trouble-causing weasel! LOL!
