Thug Worship in Progressive CA

On Sunday, Assemblymember Mia Bonta (wife the the Attorney General and co-sponsor of ACA7) announced on Twitter/X that $1,250,000 of taxpayer money was going to the Huey P. Newton Foundation.

Seriously?  You mean the Huey P. Newton who repeatedly stabbed Odell Lee with a steak knife?  The Huey P. Newton who killed Oakland police officer John Frey and then bragged about it?  The one who almost certainly ordered the murder of Panther bookkeeper Betty van Patter, whose badly beaten body washed up on a San Francisco Bay beach five weeks later?  Is that the guy we’re talking about?

Heriot has more "highlights" of Newton's life and legacy listed, and asks the question of why progressives worship thugs. It's because they need thuggery to impose their agenda, so they dress it up as "social justice" in furtherance of The Revolution. It was that way in Newton's day too, and progressives haven't changed a whit since.
