Jon Stewart took his turn Wednesday night at poking fun at a Minneapolis television station for its ridiculous assertion that the city’s Mayor Betsy Hodges had flashed a gang sign while posing for a picture with a convicted felon.
The host of “The Daily Show” mocked TV station KSTP for its “serious” coverage of the mayor, who is white, posing in the photo toward a community service volunteer, who is black, and responded to the station’s question about what the mayor’s possible intentions could be.
“To warn clown-ass bitches not to snitch,” Stewart said. “I assume.”
Stewart noted that pointing was a gesture that “goes back to literally the very first form of human communication.”
Stewart then added pointing to his list of “innocent things black people do that look suspicious.”
“Don’t wear a hoody,” Stewart said. “Don’t carry skittles. Don’t carry keys. Don’t reach for a wallet. Don’t drive in a car in a nice neighborhood. Don’t drive in a car. Don’t be a passenger in a car. Don’t knock on a white person’s door. And now, don’t point.”

I thought the RWs liked guns. They should have been happy she was making the fake gun gesture, and pointing it at a black man.
KSTV is well-known for its RWNJ approach to news—it’s a local joke in the Twin Cities.
And never EVER put your hands in the air.
Or fail to do so.
LOL…so true.
