Chicago Blackhawks Pride Night and the Coming Night of the Long Guns

"It's important to show Hockey's for everyone..."  Defenseman Connor Murphy was asked about the Blackhawks decision concerning NHL Pride Night 

 

The NHL came up with a Pride Night and like all major leagues it's kind of plastered onto the sport as a way to sell tickets and merchandise.

Major League Baseball has had a Memorial Day and Mother's Day branding for years.  This mainly been a cynical cash grab via the sale of pink bats, caps, wristbands, and other gear and camo-festooned baseball equipment.

Unfortunately, the Chicago Blackhawks fumbled their Pride Night and it didn't go unnoticed by fans who attended specifically for "Pride Night".  The Hawks scrapped plans to have players wear the Pride sweaters during pre-game skate around citing concern for their Russian players - and their families still in Russia.

In case you were unaware Putin's Russia, when not committing war crimes in Ukraine, has draconian Anti-Homosexuality laws which it's violent state apparatus is more than willing to enforce.  So, the NHL decided to offer teams the ability to opt out entirely as well as allowing Russian born players to decline to wear any Pride gear.

But, the NHL and Blackhawks ham-handed Pride Night foibles took a back page to the mass shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.  And the violent eliminationist rhetoric which the Right feels absolutely free and comfortable in expressing in the aftermath.

Republicans criminals and Rightwing terrorists over-the-top Kill Them All tweets were so bad even Elon Musk's Twitter had to respond by suspending accounts and taking down tweets from elected Republicans like the Leader of the Republican Party Major Traitor Greene.

Tucker Carlson and other lesser rightwing provocateurs are preparing Normie Society for upcoming Republican Concentration Camp proposals; i.e. the systematic rounding up members of the LGBTQ community and shipping them to camps for "re-education" or "de-lousing".

As we can recall from Umberto Eco's seminal work Ur-Fascism, Trans people are cast as both too powerful and yet too weak, and Republicans have all coalesced around the demonization of the Trans community, including busting out the Bush Era Terrorists! smear. 

Get ready.  Because it's been pointed out that if you ever theorized what you would have done when the Nazis were in power in Germany you'll soon have a real world scenario.  It's coming...  On-line rightwing provaceuters are stoking and prepping their followers to commit mass murder.  Combined with the rapid rush to criminalize Trans people specifically and the entirety of Queer culture, expect the melding of State Power and Rightwing Paramilitary fanaticism, to result in a Night of the Long Guns, as conservatives Make America Great Again by murdering people.

Update:

I speculated that Hale, a former student at The Covenant School, was subjected to molestation.  And via Crooks & Liars, comes the revelation that during the 2007-2012 timeframe a church elder John Perry an ardent friend of Mike Huckabee was molesting at least one 11 year old.

Remember this when those on-line tough guys declare if any man dressing up like a woman goes into their girls' bathroom they will kill them.  It's all false bravado and covering-up the fact that we know whose molesting children and its' not Trans persons but Church Men, but conservatives and QAnon psychos never seem to be able to find those sexual abusers.

Hurt people... hurt people... And that's, most likely, why we haven't seen a scintilla of Hale's so-called Manifesto, it probably implicates multiple people at the Church.
