Last week we broke this story about the Northampton Police Department canceling High Five Friday because a small group of parents led by Gina and Heidi Nortonsmith, thought that a police presence in the elementary schools would “tramautize” children of color and undocumented immigrants. It has since become a national news story.
But what the national media isn’t reporting are the names of the parents who pushed for this widely successful community policing program to end, because it would reveal their obvious anti-police agenda. According to the Hampshire Gazette, Gina Nortonsmith was quite vocal in eradicating this great program:
Gina Nortonsmith told the committee the program was well-intentioned but “ill-considered, tone-deaf and potentially damaging.”
It’s also interesting that Gina Nortonsmith is a member of the Northampton Police Department’s Open Data Team, which is a voluntary initiative that “challenges police agencies across the United States to release data to the public in order to increase transparency and to build community trust.”
In other words, she’s willing to work with the police department, so long as her job is to compile data in order to prove that the NPD is pulling over a disproportionate amount of black people. This is her agenda. According to their website, Gina Nortonsmith has a stellar background:
“Gina Nortonsmith was a practicing attorney in Maryland, an Assistant Professor of Law at the District of Columbia School of Law, the Assistant Dean for Law Student Affairs at Western New England College (now University), the first Ombudsperson at Smith College, and currrently works for the Northampton public schools.”
According to the Jackson Street Elementary School website, she is employed there as an Education Support Professional. This means that she saw the High Five Program in action, saw that it was working, realized it was destroying her “cops are racist Nazis” agenda, and used her influence with both the schools and the police to take it down.
But wait, it gets better. Our sources from Northampton tell us that on February 20, right after the story became national news, Gina Nortonsmith called the NPD and requested increased patrols at her house. She said the reason for doing so was because she was fearful due to the Turtleboy blog. And since Gina works with public records at the NPD, she should know that all calls to the police are public records. And here’s the call she made on February 20:
It’s classified as a “building/property check.” And it has to be initiated by the person who lives at the address provided – 37 Murphy Terrace. And guess who lives at 37 Murphy Terrace:
Yup, you guessed it. The Nortonsmith family. The same family who is allegedly traumatized by the site of police wants extra police presence on their blocks.
What more do you need to see to understand what frauds these people are? There are millions more like them. The same people who whine about too much policing and the evils of police officers, are always the first ones to call the cops when they need them. They’re full of shit, and now they’re being exposed one by one. Who’s up next?
We urge you to support the Turtleboy Sponsors by doing business with them. Without them none of this is possible. Click on any of them to check out their sites or Facebook pages.

How can just 2…people cancel the high five Friday thing, if there are so many who think it’s a great idea. The numbers just don’t add up. Just keep doing it. Don’t let 2 people get their way when everyone else wants it!
Totally agree these ladies are crazy, but the article and the previous article make the author look like they don’t have any journalism experience. Mostly due to the fact that the “handshake” deal isn’t cancelled. They stopped the program for a couple of days to implement a new way of doing it. What is this CNN? Ban? Pause?
#BadReporting #AltFacts
you just leave those two handsome gentleman alone Turtleboy!
So. These two liberal, do gooder abominations had the “High Five Friday” shut down, because they felt it “might” traumatize young black people? Why couldn’t these two jackasses see that perhaps, a black child may have been inspired by a police visit to school? Maybe, a young boy or girl would be thinking; “When I grow up, I want to be a cop!” By automatically assuming a young black child would be “traumatized”, is automatically discrediting the race that they are purportedly protecting. Seems like they are trying to play God here. That never ends well for us humans. Those two cows should just STFU!!
Awful, shameful people
Well done Mr. Turtleboy, well done indeed.
Who do these lovely ladies think is protecting them from some junkie kicking in their door in the middle of the night while they’re sleeping? Yup, that’s right, the “racist” patrolman out there patrolling the streets every day and night, weekends and holidays, rain snow and shine. They should be ashamed of themselves for being so naive as to the big picture – the cops are the good guys when the sh*t hits the fan and your little agenda means absolutely nothing to protect you. Have fun waiting for some civil rights attorney to hunt down a real world bad guy who actually victimized you or your family. Ain’t happening but there’s always 911.
Notice the Mosques in her vacation pic background.
Tony..long time brother!!
I was trying to figure where I’d seen these women before, but I remembered that
I once knew one of their sons back in like 2011. They’ve always lived
in Northampton, in a really peaceful upper-class neighborhood.
I suggest they BOTH do a ride-along with the Holyoke police, or some
place where cops have to fear residents, not the other way around.
Why do you need to post their home address on your website, I understand your criticism of her advocacy to stop the High Five program, but this article is taking things to an irresponsible and dangerous level. Seems to me like implicitly encouraging people to go to this family’s house, that’s pretty stupid.
Bobby, google works in mysterious ways, 0.00002 seconds to get that info, also, nobody wants to go to the house of these clowns, police or otherwise.
Exactly. To put their address out there is counterproductive and let’s be real; there are some batshit crazy people out there. Look at the comments here. Some one might feel like this gives them permission to do something really bad to this family. Diasagree with them all you want but don’t laughingly put their family in the crosshairs of some that thinks he’s a vigilante for justice.
You should have provided directions to the couples house. I know a few carloads from Boston that would love to get liquored up and take the ride to the “Lesbitron Villa!” When the boys get done, me thinks that the program is back in play and there won’t be anymore calls to the police…..well at least until the casts come off their hands and fingers! Interuterine Sanitation Devices!
These people should be free to live their lives as they see fit. I have absolutely no desire to dictate to them how to live their lives. Live the life you want as long as it is legal and does not infringe on my life.
Free speech is free speech until you yell “fire” in a crowded theater.
The thing is, these people think they know better than you and want to dictate to you how to live YOUR life.
Ironically, these are the people that think they have “privilege”.
To put it bluntly, I say to these people that think they know better than me: Go fuck yourselves.
Sorry for the crudity, but it needed to be said.
Agreed. Live how you wanna live but don’t infringe on my life. As far as which bathroom you use. Penises in one and vaginas in the other real simple like. If,you wanna use the other bathroom get yours cut off or add one on whichever you desire I could give 2 shits less. Touch my kids inappropriately and pray to whatever God you choose that the police find you first cause I will make you suffer worse than anyone could possibly imagine. That’s not a threat it’s a promise.
What the hell is in the drinking water in Massachusetts? Whatever it is, it’s been making morons think they’re progressive entitled elitist asshole hypocrites for years.
*golf clap*
Super job, TB!
Who is worse – these 2 slugs or those that let them have their way?
“Arvd- 20:33:00
Clrd- 20:33:15”
Looks like they’re quite the priority to the police department these days.
“We stuck around for a whole 15 seconds, Sarge. Nothing.”
Oh the irony. This carpet muncher calls the heroes of the community to protect her when she feels threatened. But claims these same heroes scare black children. Hmm. Except for they clearly made hers feel safer by their presence outside of her home. She is a fuckin moron. YES a moron. You can have all the damn degrees and academic honors and STILL BE A COMPLETE DUCK IN MORON, WHICH IS WHAT SHE IS AND I AM GLAD YOU ARE EXPOSING HER TB!!!!!! It’s a Damn shame because carpet munchers like her do NOT represent the gay community although they like to pretend they are a voice for all. Most of us are normal people who appreciate and respect law enforcement.
God hates fags
The Westboro baptist church has literally 12 members, why do we talk about them like they are a thing?
Fear/hate mongering. The irony is epic yet typical.
You can have all the damn degrees and academic honors and STILL BE A COMPLETE DUCK IN MORON, WHICH IS WHAT SHE IS AND I AM GLAD YOU ARE EXPOSING HER TB!!!!!!
It is called “affirmative action.”
I can hear the phone call now.
911: 911 this call is being recorded.
Hedi: Hi this is the woman who got high five Fridays canceled. I was hoping you could patrol my neighborhood more please there are lots of people who are mad at me and I am scared that someone might do something to my house.
911: ok we will see what we can do.
Hedi: could you please do it in unmarked police cars and ask the officer to dress in plain clothes I don’t want my children to be traumatized by the extra police patrols.
911: sorry mam but it will have to be a regular patrol car.
Hedi: why won’t you racist assholes do what I ask if you? Is it because I am a lesbian and have black children?
911: no mam that is not the reason. It would cost us to much to do it how you want us to do it.
Hedi: well I have friends in high places and if I whine and bitch enough you will have to do it how I want you to.
911: ok mam have a nice day.
Hedi: screw you assholes I don’t need you racists you are vile people.
911: we are sorry you feel that way.
Hedi: you better be sorry. So when are you starting those extra patrols because I am fearful of my safety.
911: we will get right on it (hangs up) “no we won’t”
Every single person that ever gets stopped in Northhampton should identify as minority. Immediately, upon being stopped, state that you are Native American, Hispanic, Black, Aleut, or some other minority. That way, every single stop in Northhamton will be a minority. Northhampton Police will not be able to stop anyone any more. You will be able to do anything you want in Northhampton without fear of being stopped by the Northhampton Police. Northhampton will be wide open! Yee Haw!
Yet another example of left wing hypocrisy
Too perfect.
The police are threatening to minorities! I feel threatened, call the police!!!
Keep up the good work!! Eventually maybe all these educated morons will realize how stupid some of their statements and actions are. There is no way there should be more police aka the an guys patroling their neighborhood and anyone that physically threatens or bothers them is defeating the entire purpose of the exposé and sinking to their level of dumb. No one should not feel safe in their homes but they need to feel the wrath in every other way possible.
If you are a criminal, Northhamptom is the place to be. Especially if you are a minority, or identify as a minority. If you identify as a minority you will be able to conduct your criminal enterprises without fear of being “harassed” by the Northhampton Police. Northhampton is wide open if you identify as minority.
And for all the protesters from Northhampton that came to Worcester to protest for the sanctuary city meeting, why don’t you go down to Northampton City hall and protest until they declare Northampton a sanctuary city.
You know that all these phony hypocrites from Northampton wanted Worcester to declare itself a sanctuary city so that all “those” people would come to Worcester. The phony hypocrites from Northampton live in a lily white fantasy land and call other people “racist”.
If the phony hypocrites from Northampton truly believed in their phony rhetoric they would demand that Northampton actually declared itself a sanctuary city.
The phony hypocrites from Northampton would never do that. They want to live in a lily white community while they run around calling other people racist and telling them how to live their lives.
We already had that meeting and I now have to serve those families or lose my job…
Their two boys are already traumatized by having two females are parents and no father, no adult male as a role model figure in their life.
These are the same kinds of people who chant “No cops, no KKK” and call the police when a dog is barking. Part 2 of this story is my kind of social justice! Thanks Turtleboy!!!!
This is why our schools are in such bad shape. Instead of investing the money in our teachers, we have all of these BS support positions to fill. High salaried positions that contribute absolutely nothing towards educating an individual.
It’s kind of ironic that those who protest the cops need the cops to protect them when they decide to disrupt the daily lives of others by blocking traffic.
Hypocrite much? Hey dykemonsters, please 69 each and jam your heads into your partner’s foul dead tuna trench. Then hold each other in place until you both orgasm, crushing each other’s skulls. Please. Pretty please with shmegma on top.
The police should decline….we don’t want to traumatize her kids.
Good one!
I predict a Shitstika smeared on their front door in the near future
Gotta keep up the victim peddling while while it’s got traction
While x1, damn phone
Or a bag of burning turds on their doorstep for them to stomp out.
And amazingly, forensic analysis of the fecal matter will find that the poop is full of Nortonsmith DNA.
