Trayvon Martin comes to mind.
Americans need to communicate with friends/family. Arm up.
Looks like the Democrats have moved us back to 1775 where the hope of America resided in the armed citizen. That’s good but we need to quit paying for government that is in total default. If all the police are going to do is tag toes and write after action reports, we shouldn’t have to pay for more than that.
Perhaps enough residents there will finally figure out they need to vote Republican but I doubt it. Once you reach a certain age you already have too much time invested in getting it wrong to change course.
Quiz of the day: Which of these American cities has witnessed the steepest decine of property values since May 20,2020? A. Seattle B.New York City C. Portland D.Chicago or E.Los Angeles
This is going to degenerate into Medieval Italian cities with warlords controlling who comes and goes in each city block. It started with rooftop Koreans.
I think part of the problem is that communist controlled citied are running out of funding and they are cutting spending in a number of areas, but the focus on cutting policing budgets are used to keep the rabble voting for them and not coming to their home.
“The group has since been asked to protect community events and has formed a security company offering its services. Mr. Jackson said the group has been well-received at these events and hasn’t met with any resistance because they mostly focus on community outreach.”
Theatre of the absurd. Untrained and unvetted armed community organizers. Do they shoot first , then organize or vice versa.?
The city council’s answer to replace police : SWAT: Social Workers and Therapists.
Citizens answer to replace police: neighborhood barriers, armed patrols. When law and order break down or are non-existent, vigilantism is sure to rise.
Hope my neighbors rise to the occasion if this ever happens in our area.
A mass exodus of businesses and taxpayers is inevitable. Businesses will no longer be able to get insurance as rates are set to increase 500-1,000% and some insurance companies are pouring out of areas of insurrection:
“There is already talk among the insurance industry of dramatic increases in premiums for certain ‘progressive’ cities across all categories of insurance. Business Owners Policies (which cover vandalism/theft etc of property) will almost certainly see premium increases of between 100% - 500% over the current rates for Chicago.”

I saw a quote on another thread: “When there are no police, every crime carries the death penalty.” The more I digest that sentiment, the more sense it makes.
“Minneapolis residents in some areas still recovering from rioting and unrest are forming community watch and security groups, some bearing firearms, to fight a surge of crime in the wake of the George Floyd killing in May.”
Formal militias are next.
[[[Around $1 million from the police budget is being shifted to a program called Cure Violence that tries to prevent things such as retaliatory shootings through community engagement.]]]
You can’t make this stuff up.
the MN Attorney General says that the police should not respond to rape calls if the rapist has run away. I’m sure that he will say that the cops shouldn’t be called if the murderer has left the scene, or of the car thief or burglar has left the scene.
“Minneapolis residents in some areas still recovering from rioting and unrest are forming community watch and security groups...”
Coming to a neighborhood near you...or maybe even in your neighborhood.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms...”
Defund the City Counsel’s Special Security
Neighborhood militias are now back in style.
The problem will be when someone defends their home or business and the leftist legal system goes after them while leaving the rioters untouched.

Minneapolis?
Sharia law?
Enough to take out the council’s private security and turn them into lamppost decorations?
