Two separate Halloween incidents captured by doorbell cameras display a stark contrast between cultures
American Thinker ^ | 2 Nov, 2023 | Olivia Murray

There’s a funny idiosyncrasy among conservative-thinking or “s–t-posting” social media users, and that is they’ll often use alternating upper-case and lower-case letters in succession to mock a leftist position. See a few examples below:

“No CuLtUrE iS sUpErIoR oVeR aNoThEr”

“DiVeRsItY iS oUr StReNgTh”

“MuLtIcUlTuRaLiSm Is GoOd”

Well two separate Halloween incidents, captured by doorbell cameras, prove all those leftist assertions completely and utterly false.

Here’s the first: [video at link]

Now, here’s the second: [video at link]

The contrast couldn’t be more stark, and frankly, farcical.

Naturally, I assume the people in the first video are… transplants to America… and soon-to-be Democrat voters. Obviously you can hear they’re not speaking English, with the children repeatedly yelling “¡Dame!”, an imperative that means “Give me!” We see the adults, most likely parents, encouraging the children to take it all, grabbing all the full-size candy bars they can—at one point, one of the women stretches her shirt out to make a sort of collecting apron, taking even more of the candy. A girl, who appears to be an older sibling, exploits her position, and grabs candy out from the hands of a younger brother or family member.

The video of the boy putting his candy in the bowl is from a few years ago.

Instead of candy in the cauldron, substitute with government freebies and taxpayer money in that pot. A free-for-all for the invaders. This is what it looks like when the government decides to reward the lawless illegal immigrants. Their intentions are to squeeze the taxpayers dry and keep the evil demonic rats in power to keep the goodies flowing, ….compliments from off the back of HARD working Americans!!! And it won’t be just one welfare check they’ll be aiming for, they’re greedy and many million ILLEGAL Immigrants come with bad intentions! But God forbid if our American homeless and veterans should have such luck!

We only had a few willing to come up the long driveway. The town and churches sponsor Trunk-or-Treat before Halloween and Halloween is for Trick or Treating. Life in small town Appalachia. Lots of cammo.

It's illegal in many places to bait wildlife.

For those places that it is legal, the homeowners who can't be at the door to greet trick-or-treaters may want to implement a dispenser system.

The stark differences between those two videos make me doubt the veracity of your claim.

It simply means that greediness is to be found in every culture. It is an individual trait according to how you were raised. I’m sure that there are Christian folk in the Latino culture just as there are greed filled people in American culture.......See Washington DC, Bidens, Clintons, Menendez, etc............

We get to witness the ignorance of being uninformed demonstrated in your post.

Might surprise you that there are way more “ethnic mass shooters” than white guy shooters, but you don’t know that because I am guessing you are a CNN / MSN zealot.

Chicago most months has enough murders to outdo any white guy mass shooter in the last 10 years (probably more) and those are all “ethnic murders. But I guess those don’t count to you?

Try learning the facts.

“socialism = losers use “equality” as an excuse to get something for nothing”

**************

We are well beyond they point of socialism now. Its an ugly truth that no one wants to admit.

The government has expanded to the point that its involved in virtually every aspect of our lives. If you think about it, there really isn’t anything it doesn’t regulate, tax, or control in some fashion. And it increasingly does so through the powers of the administrative state.

The first video looks authentic, but the second one looks staged. The kid overplays his part when he looks directly at the camera with a melodramatic expression.

Great book, the idea of how the people furthest from each other in hell are the most indifferent and/or longest there is a great piece of imagery.

That goes along with the reason why they are here. To grab every damn thing they can get from us and then to hate us.

This country’s policy is that of an anal exit passageway.

Part of the problem is the lazy-ass homeowners who don't want to be bothered with interacting with the neighborhood and just put a bowl full of candy out on the front porch, lock the door and go turn on the TV.

In some neighborhoods the majority of the kids all grew up and no longer trick or treat or have gone on to college. Those neighborhoods are where people stay and live in their homes for many years.

Since covid, many don’t go out anymore because of that.

And we can’t forget the dangers of thugs being out there at night and people poisoning candy.

Leaving the bowl out goes back to at least the 50s, sometimes the homeowner goes to bed early, or something comes up, or they are having drinks and a little party and get into their inside grown-up party and lose interest in the door.

In the 50s leaving some of your own candy in an empty bowl would have been a fairly common reaction, conditioning children is an accumulation of 1000s of messages and in the 50s the positive behavior messages were constantly repeated in every way and in everything, and every day, everything you read, everything you watched, everything that was said to you was always, be good, be thoughtful, be helpful, be humble and honest, help little old ladies, stick up for what is right, God is watching, be nice.
