Cincinnati Councilor Stands by Statement That White People Were ‘Begging for That Beatdown’

As Twitchy reported a couple of days ago, Cincinnati Police Chief Terri Theetge chastised social media and “the media” for distorting the video of a mob of black people beating two white people in the street. Some described it as a fight, but a fight is generally between two people, and, as police report, usually lasts one punch, when one guy has a sore jaw and the other one a sore fist. Fox News described it as a brawl.
And as we reported, one Cincinnati council member called it a "beatdown" and said on social media that the whites were "begging" for it, apparently including the white woman who was knocked out cold for trying to check on the man. Some have said the white tourist threw the first punch, but that hardly justifies being swarmed by a mob.
Cincinnati City Council Member Victoria Parks
RedWave Press (@RedWave_Press) ~ WOW — A member of the Cincinnati City Council is praising the black thugs for beating up white people in the Ohio city, claiming “They begged for that beat down! I am grateful for the whole story.”
Victoria Parks has been a member of the Cincinnati City Council since 2022 and has championed initiatives like declaring racism as a public health crisis and establishing Juneteenth as a paid holiday in Hamilton County.

Black thugs? That's redundant. Back during the Obama administration, we were assured that "thugs" was a racist dog whistle.
As we said, council member Victoria Parks made the comment on social media, but has since doubled down on her take.

WKRC-TV reports:
Cincinnati City Council Member Victoria Parks is standing by her controversial social media post regarding a fight that has sparked national backlash.
On Sunday, Parks responded to a video of the brawl on Facebook.
"They begged for that beatdown. I am grateful for the whole story," said Parks.
The video Parks reacted to does not show how the altercation began but captures the moments leading up to its escalation. Following her comments, Parks has faced calls for her resignation. Parks is not seeking reelection.
So far, three people have been sent to jail on charges related to the brawl. Montianez Merriweather, Dekyra Vernon, and Jermaine Matthews were the first charged in connection to the fight that received national attention after the video went viral. All three suspects had their bond hearings on Wednesday.
johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) ~ Mom of one of the thugs who ambushed Whites at the Cincinnati Jazz festival claims her son is “not a thug” because he has 5 kids, “is in school.”
He has a conviction for robbery, charges for criminal possession of a firearm, and was just arrested for receiving stolen property.

BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! His momma says her son is not a thug 'cuz:
* He has 5 kids (Wonder if any of those kids are by the same mother - and was he ever married to any of those baby mommas?)
* He's "in school" (He's got 5 kids and he's "in school," eh? Maybe he should be working his ass off to pay for all that child support, instead of being "in school" - which is probably paid for by the taxpayers.)
* Her son has been convicted for robbery, charged with criminal possession of a firearm, and just got arrested for receiving stolen property (Your son is a CRIMINAL, woman!}
Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) ~ Portions of the black community have been taught to hate white people their entire lives - by every single cultural influence in their lives. Now, some of those people are in elected office. And they intend to use that office to smash whitey, once and for all.
W D Hatfield (@Notalibtwit) ~ It's easy to dismiss them when the racism is this blatant and stupidly admitted. Most are smart enough to hide it.
Conservative Gator (@GrappaGator) ~ She should’ve been fired yesterday.
Well, you can't just fire an elected official. You would have to go through some process to effectively impeach and remove her - and you know that ain't gonna happen.
Cheering on a mob beating in the street of your city isn't a good look for a city council member. We're sure if the races were reversed, Parks would have said the same thing.
OH YEAH ... DON"T YOU KNOW IT ... if it was a white mob beating up on a black couple in the street, I'm just absolutely SURE that Councilwoman Parks would DEFINITELY hold to the SAME opinion, don'tcha know!
