Cincinnati councilwoman says white attack victims ‘begged for that beat down’

Posted on by Constitutional Nobody

A black member of the Cincinnati City Council sparked outrage over social media comments that seemed to suggest that the white victims who were viciously attacked by a black mob got what they were asking for.

In a post to Facebook, a user highlighted the inflammatory words from an account belonging to Councilwoman Victoria Parks, who threw in her two cents on viral videos of the ugly incident that has put a spotlight on her city, which already was nursing a black eye over the violence before she ignited a firestorm.

“They begged for that beat down!” Parks proclaimed in the Sunday post. “I am grateful for the whole story.”

The comment linked back to a Facebook account for Victoria Parks, whose job title is City Council Member at the City of Cincinnati Government, and also listed her past experience as the commissioner of Hamilton County, Ohio Government, and as former Chief of Staff to Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune at Hamilton County.

The posted information is in line with the official bio on the Cincinnati city website for President Pro Tem Victoria Parks, who “led the charge in passing Racism as a Public Health Crisis, in Hamilton County.”

It is unclear what Parks meant by referring to “the whole story,” but video of what occurred before the beatings has not yet been published. Nor could it possibly justify a defenseless woman being seriously injured after she was sucker punched, an image that highlights the dangerous environments that big Democrat-controlled cities have become in recent years, especially for white people.

“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?” One X user asked in response to Cincy mayoral candidate Cory Bowman, who highlighted Parks’ despicable comments.

Other X users condemned Parks’ comment and demanded her resignation.

The violence in the city has also drawn a reaction from Cincinnati restaurant owners, who issued a statement calling for city officials to do their jobs.

“As members of Cincinnati’s restaurant and hospitality industry, we are heartbroken and outraged by the recent violent incident that occurred in our downtown core,” read the statement, which was posted to X by Jeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment. “The video circulating from that night is disturbing, and like many in this city, we are calling for accountability and decisive action.”

“We are a united coalition – diverse in background, perspective, and political beliefs – but we stand together in condemning violence in any form,” the statement continues. “The safety of our guests, team members, and neighborhoods is nonnegotiable. It is a foundational expectation we all share.”

In addition to Parks, other Cincinnati officials have tried to downplay what many are calling a hate crime, with one of them being Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge, who shamed social media users for sharing the footage of the vicious beatings.

Images of the woman in the black flowery dress who was punched from the blindside have now been posted to X by Sen. Bennie Moreno (R-OH) after he received her permission to do so to prevent such violent attacks from happening in the future.

“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. We need and deserve change,” the senator said in the Wednesday post that also highlighted Parks’ opinion that Holly “begged for that beat down.”
