Principled Leftist “betrays” comrades [Jonn]

1stCAVRVN11B sent me an article last night about a fellow from Austin, TX who actually did the right thing instead of the “Left” thing and his fellow hippies call that “betrayal” although he probably saved lives;

In four years, he has gone from a never-trust-the-government activist to the confidential informant who helped the FBI arrest two Austin men on suspicion of building firebombs during the Republican National Convention in St. Paul in September.

“I feel like, as an activist, I played a direct role in stopping violence,” Darby, 32, said in his first interview on his role.

Darby was the government’s chief informant in the case against David McKay and Bradley Crowder. The two are scheduled to go on trial in U.S. District Court on Jan. 26 on accusations they built Molotov cocktails during the convention. They are being held without bail.

But the Austin “activist” community is upset;

Darby’s admission shocked Austin’s activist community, which includes people who have worked with him on a variety of grass roots organizing efforts for years.

“Everyone that knew Brandon has gone through a whole range of emotions. Clearly, he’s betrayed the trust of the community, and all the communities he’s worked with,” said Lisa Fithian, a social-justice activist who worked with Darby in Austin.

So this Darby gentleman decides that the lives of policemen and Republicans have a measure of value, but his fellow Leftists don’t.

Darby even asked the two firebombers about the consequences if someone was hurt accidentally;

“What if there’s a cop sleeping in the car?” Darby asked McKay, according to an affidavit by Christopher Langert, a special agent in the FBI’s Minneapolis office. “He’ll wake up,” McKay allegedly replied.

McKay also told Darby, “It’s worth it if an officer gets burned or maimed,” the affidavit said.

So these “social justice activists” only value some lives, as long as those lives don’t belong to someone who disagrees with them or someone whose job is to make them obey the law, Sweet.

I commend Mr. Darby and I remind the rest of the Left that if they weren’t so hypocritical about what they believe and how they comport themselves, they might have an easier time changing the world.
