Widow of Slain Police Captain David Dorn Slams BLM, ‘Supervillain’ Kamala Harris in Blistering Op-Ed – Opinion

RedState has extensively covered the brutal June 2, 2020, murder of 77-year-old retired police captain David Dorn by looters — for a Flat-screen TV  — and left to bleed out on a St. Louis sidewalk.

Dorn was defending a friend’s pawn shop. Appallingly, the 38-year police veteran’s murder was heartlessly live-streamed on Facebook. Little more than two months later, Captain Dorn’s widow, Ann, delivered a moving speech at the Republican National Convention.

The shop was robbed by looters. They shot and killed David in cold blood, and then live-streamed his execution and last moments on Earth… I relive that horror in my mind every day.

My former colleague Caleb Hull was right, writing in a 2020 tweet: “Absolutely gut-wrenching moment from David Dorn’s wife, Ann.”

As reported by my RedState colleague Susie Moore in late July 2022, Stephan Cannon was found guilty of David Dorn’s murder.

In a scathing Tuesday op-ed published by Fox News, Ann Dorn accuses “terrorist organization” Black Lives Matter and related activists like Vice President Kamala Harris of dividing America, blasting them as “supervillains.”

My husband was murdered over two years back by a Black Lives Matter rioter. He was finally convicted of his crime last month. David Dorn was a former St. Louis Police captain. Black was his name. He was important in his life.

[…]

David retired at that time from the police force, but he continued to serve his community. Our friend owned a Pawn Shop, located just 10 minutes away from our home but almost an hour from the house of our friend. David, our friend and point-of-contact for alarm systems, would always check the shop when the alarm went off. For over 30 years, he had been doing it.

On June 1, 2020, everything changed for the Dorns — forever.

On the night of June 1, 2020, St. Louis erupted in violence as Black Lives Matter descended upon the city. The rioters fired at police and firefighters, set fires to businesses and looted buildings.

David received a call in the wee hours of June 2, 2020. Multiple alarms were tripped, and someone was at the pawnshop. David went to the shop knowing full well that there was violence and chaos in the surrounding area.

David met Stephan Cannon, one of several rioters, when he got to the shop. David told them it wasn’t worth it, that there was little of value in the shop that wasn’t tightly locked up.

Cannon fired in his chest and David was instantly killed. He bled out on the sidewalk. A third rioter live-streamed the entire incident, and we later learned that one of the many viewers who watched David’s murder unfold was David’s eldest grandson.

Evil defined.

Ann writes, “Ultimately, David was murdered because the people who are supposed to protect our streets — active-duty police officers — were ordered not to do their jobs. It is clear that the anti-law enforcement sentiment that has been fueled in this country by Democrat and left-wing activist rhetoric has gone too far.”

“And he was a superhero,” she adds, “but if real-life superheroes exist, so do supervillains.”

These supervillains look like my husband’s killer. These supervillains are billionaire George Soros and others who make use of their influence and power to spread extremism and incite division.

They are people like Vice President Kamala Harris, who raised money for the rioters’ bail funds, and the CEOs of prominent companies who blindly gave their support and money to this.

One such example of Harris’ despicable bail funds activism included her support for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which raised money to bail out BLM rioters, and in one case, a man accused of penetrating an 8-year-old child.

In reference to Black Lives Matter, Ann Dorn says: “If a foreign organization was tied to nationwide rioting in the U.S., we’d probably call it a terrorist organization.”

Damn right we would — and we do.

And Captain Dorn’s opinion of BLM? His widow wrote:

David didn’t agree with or support Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter never helped Black lives. David never got it. David was also killed that year. More than a dozen children were gunned down in St. Louis and Black Lives Matter did not appear once. They mattered. Fivety-five businesses, most of which were Black-owned, were either looted and/or destroyed on the night David died. It was their livelihood that mattered. My husband, a Black man of color, was selfless in his service to the community for more than 40 years. It was his life that mattered.

Bottom line:

Again, heart-wrenchingly true. Not just in St. Louis. Every weekend, the streets of Chicago’s Southside run red with the blood of young black men caught up in gangs. Kamala Harris where are you? Joe Biden Black Lives Matter As new murders in many Democrat-run American towns continue to increase, they remain silent.

Why? This is because these horrifying stories go against the leftist racist narrative. White supremacy Systemic racismBiden says that America’s greatest danger is from Russia. “Assault rifles” and other “weapons of war” in the hands of White young men are the “real” gun problem in America, they tell us, as they continue to attack the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners.

It’s insane, and it is increasing. More insane.

Thank God for brave people like Captain David Dorn, and his wife, Ann, for continuing to speak out against the insanity — but mostly about the hypocrisy of the Democrat Party and acquiescence to the rabid left.
