"You don't know what Hell is, until you've grown up in Scarsdale"

ANTIFA Lite

That was said by a rioting Columbia University student to a NYT reporter during the 1968 riots, and though I was but a callow youth of 15 at the time, I thought it was one of the dumbest, most unaware idiocies I’d heard from the protest movement up til then, and it reamains so today; equalled certainly, but never surpassed.

I suppose that young radical went on to a comfortable career as a corporate attorney or more likely, university professor, but he must have spawned, and his grandchild is now living in Old Greenwich, because we’ve just had a sneak terrorist attack in Binney Park.

GREENWICH — Police were contacted about spray-painted graffiti that read “BLM” found at Binney Park in Old Greenwich over the weekend.

The spray-painted letters evidently refer to “Black Lives Matter,” and protests involving the deaths of black men at the hands of police, most recently in Minneapolis.

According to police spokesman Lt. Mark Zuccerella, the “BLM” letters, with three lines underneath, were found by town workers Sunday afternoon. Police said they are looking into the incident. The spray paint was found at the park’s bathrooms near the tennis courts there.

Right on, man, and Power to the People!

(Of course, it’s possible that the police and I may be wrongly interpreting this young man’s intent, and he may have been merely expressing his dream of becoming a forest ranger.)
