Meet Holly, the woman brutally knocked unconscious and beaten in the street by a Black mob during last weekend’s Cincinnati Jazz Festival in the downtown area.
Here’s Holly.
Holly days later.

According to Council Member Victoria Parks, Holly and the other individual attacked (White male) “begged for that beat down.” Let that sink in.

The city’s own leadership has defended the mob, not the victims. Even Police Chief Teresa Theetge downplayed the attack.
The message from Cincinnati’s woke leadership is loud and clear: lawlessness is tolerated, and victims are to be blamed.
Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) first released shocking images of Holly on X. He wrote:
This is Holly. She wanted to have a nice evening out with friends. Instead, she got this. Holly gave me permission to release the photos so that others will never suffer what she did.
Cincinnati is an amazing and spectacular City. It deserves political leadership that matches the greatness of its citizens.@AftabPureval issues a late/weak statement, Police Chief blames social media (not the lack of almost 200 officers), Prosecutor @ConniePillich lets off… pic.twitter.com/6BzfO48m4G

Moreno told local media that the U.S. attorney general has launched an FBI investigation into the attack.
Watch Here:
If this garbage persists, federal funding must be cut. The group should face hate crime charges. A mob of Blacks brutally attacked a white man and woman at the Cincinnati Jazz Festival. Such savage behavior is increasing nationwide, yet the mainstream media ignores the surge in… pic.twitter.com/rRf79X75rs

The woke Cincinnati leadership is suffering from ideological rot; leftists reward attackers and vilify the victims.
If the roles were reversed, say a White mob attacking Black partygoers, there would’ve already been protests by rogue leftist NGOs, national media outrage, and every social justice warrior flooding the streets with demands for “justice”, as well as NGOs fundraising like no other. But when the victims are White? Silence. Excuses. And worse, victims get blamed.

Cory Bowman, the half-brother of Vice President J.D. Vance and also running for mayor of Cincinnati, ignited outrage on X after exposing a disturbing social media post by Cincinnati Council Member Victoria Parks, who said the Whites “begged for that beat down” in downtown Cincinnati last weekend. This comes on the heels of Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge’s absurd attempt to downplay the Black mob assault, raising very serious concerns about the city’s woke leadership.
“They begged for that beat down! I am grateful for the whole story,” Parks wrote on what appears to be a Facebook post. Bowman took a screenshot of the post and reposted it on X.
“Actual social media comments made by a sitting member of Cincinnati City Council …” Bowman wrote…

Profiling Parks: Here’s what the City of Cincinnati’s website comes up … all you need to know about this social justice warrior:

According to one of Parks’ X re-posts, she is a mega anti-Trumper:

She believes in “free everything,” and this pattern of political policies is becoming increasingly common among Democrats who are openly embracing socialism and Marxism, such as the Democratic mayoral candidate in NYC.
This is Cincinnati City Councilor Victoria Parks, who wrote the 3 White elderly people attacked at their jazz festival “begged for it”. Here she is advocating for free housing, food and DEI jobs. pic.twitter.com/k1igqX7YYu

One X user asked: “I’ve seen a lot of people saying they saw “additional footage” that put the reaction of the crowd “in some context,” and clearly Ms. Parks saw something so damning that it justified “that beat down.” But I can’t seem to actually FIND any footage like that. Can you point me to it?”

The White guy lightly SLAPPED a black guy in the face, FIRST. That started the ensuing beatdown.
Like you even need to do that. You’ll be attacked for just being white.
Pssst … everyone … EVERYONE has their cell phones out recording video. Does anyone with a functional brain actually believe IF there was some “racist” thing said by the white victims … that it wouldn’t have already been broadcast ad infinitum?
I would love to be a fly on the wall in this world when white people are gone, it will be pure hunger games 1984 stuff. They will be eating each other, literally.
