Thugs in ghettoes are organized crime outfits.
Fences send kids into stores to loot merchandise without fear of being caught or prosecuted. The kids turn the plundered goods over to the fences of a tiny fraction of what they're worth, and then the fences sell the goods to eager ghetto consumers.
The same principle works for carjackings.
For socialist Democrats who believe in reparations and ghetto rats who support them, this is a win-win.
And if a some white yuppies get killed in the process, so what?
The National Guard doesn’t give me a warm fuzzy. I apologize for my complete lack of confidence. It’s a bias based on observation over the decades coupled with personal experiences relayed to me by relatives and acquaintances who have (but no longer) serve. From actual lack of benefits after serious injuries are incured etc... the organization is fraught with incompetence at the highest levels down the chain to the lowest ranked boot who are continously shafted by the ubiquitous lack of proper resources and suitable training.
