Bringing the best of the Taliban to our political system! Throwing acid in the face of little girls for going to school isn't just for Afghan theocrats anymore! It's now a threat from American Communist/socialists towards anyone who disagrees with them.
I won't be at the July 6 march. I won't recommend having a BB gun to pop liquid filled balloons in the hands of thugs. I won't compare that to flag burners setting themselves on fire. ( self immolation is funny in context. Blinding acid in the face attacks are not. )
But I will say that anyone who throws a liquid filled container at anyone can now legitimately be considered to be using deadly force, and is subject to the results of such a legally valid judgment.
Even the uber-liberal Republik Der Marylanden's wear-and-carry permit verbiage reads that "cash and personal safety/life and limb" are the only legitimate legal uses for a firearm. If it can be replaced by insurance (carjacking, for example), we're supposed to let it slide. Fear for life and limb?
That's why the state issues.
I've said it before - they're going to take it too far, and they're going to attack the wrong person(s), and there will be blood in the streets before this whole fascism/communism/socialism thing goes away. Somewhere, sometime, somebody is going to get sick and tired of taking the higher ground...and it'll get ugly.
We've been at relative peace for too long. There's no frame of reference, like for my father's or grandfather's generations - no World War(s), no Korean conflict, no Vietnam. People today are so sheltered that all they know of "violence" and "death" is video games.
Until they go out in public and try that stuff for real.
Then, we have school shootings. Church massacres. Nightclub attacks. Acid in the face.
On the video games...there's no repercussions. At least, none that can't be undone with a "reset" button.
Real world? It's different. But without that war/conflict/reality sense of perspective...they don't understand it.
I'm genuinely afraid of how that understanding is going to come about.
And already released. Wtf is wrong with portland? That was rhetorical.
When I was in high school, portland was the murder capital of the US. It turned into a really nice place in the intervening decades. But it’s turning to shit again.
Point of history: A similar state of affairs plagued Rome roughly 2,000 years ago. It soon got even worse, a lot worse. See Romans 1:21-32. Paul doesn't mix words about the deadly effect of too many arrogant self-serving people on society.
quote:
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
How much of this violence does the MSM manage to not report? It's really sad that the Mayor of Portland is using the lack of reporting by major news agencies to pretend that it's not a problem. Just a quick glance at any of these videos clearly demonstrates there's a huge problem.
Here's a thought. IIRC the U.S. declared war on Mexico years before the War of Northern Aggression, back in 1846.
While charging a Congresscritter with any crime requires lots of legal action, including an impeachment vote by Congress, staffers are not so privileged.
It's probably best that Congress members have such legal protections, as we can see by the actions of the former FBI head, Comey, that evil men are willing to send innocent people to prison & let them rot, for political reasons. With the Mueller Special Persecution we see evil men are willing to deliberately bankrupt & threaten the families to get false confessions.
If Congressmen were open for prosecution, Abraham Lincoln would have jailed the Confederate allies in Congress, FDR Republicans that resisted his disastrous economic policies, Obama every patriot and Trump all the Democratic Socialist thugs. ( my bias is showing )
But the staffers? Open season.
They are going to a foreign country we legally declared war on, to give aid & comfort to the enemy, and more importantly, are conspiring in criminal activity by helping foreigners to lie to the Federal government that they work for.
If they are not arrested and tried, then there is no Law that applies to all Citizens.
A condition of tyranny shown by the treatment of Antifa & Hillary.
I consider that the phrase "it's ok to punch a Nazi" was very popular for a while, then disappeared from the media. Why? Possibly someone pointed out to the folk who issue the catch phrase of the day ( note 1) that Nazi stands for National Socialist Workers Party, and that "right wingers" would use their declaration of violence being fine with them to punch Socialists.
And now it's official Facebook policy to allow threats of violence against people Facebook's management disagrees with.
Just like the 1930's. Places where Socialists took or were taking power. Hate sells.
(Note 1) It's the same people issuing the catch phrase of the day as during the Obama years... But it must go back further than that. Rush, back when he was funny, would play clip compilations of this exact creepy phenomenon, so it goes back at least to Slick Willie.
And to be clear, I'm Not talking about the Sinclair Media robotic creepy press release.
I'm talking about the group that actually issues the talking point of the day with the catchy mantra almost all the News programs spew as news. Like "the walls are closing in".
And... To be fair, the well paid on air talent is fed their lines by management, who now save a fortune by not actually having more than a few, if any, "reporters" & just buy pre packaged content.
That’s a good place, I guess. Another would be don’t bring your infant on a trek through the desert and then blame the country you entered illegally for its death. Or, democrats will lie and twist the truth for their own devious ends every time. Perhaps, Payday! The American judicial system is awash with idiots so I will win wrongful death instead of being arrested for causing the death in the commission of a crime.
